For the first nine months of the year, revenue was €25,816 million (2021: €19,354 million). Net revenue (beia) was €21,273 million (2021: €16,000 million), increasing organically by 22.6%. Currency translation positively impacted net revenue (beia) by €1,168 million or 7.3%, mainly driven by the Brazilian Real, the Mexican Peso and the Vietnamese Dong. The consolidation of United Breweries Limited (UBL) in India positively impacted net revenue (beia) by €564 million or 3.5%.

In the third quarter, revenue was €9,415 million (2021: €7,383 million). Net revenue (beia) grew organically by 19.8% and came to €7,788 million (2021: €6,029 million), benefitting from the sharp post-COVID recovery in Asia Pacific. Total consolidated volume grew 7.6% and net revenue (beia) per hectolitre was up 11.1%. Price mix on a constant geographic basis was up 13.2%, driven by pricing to mitigate inflationary pressure and premiumisation effects. Throughout the rest of this report, figures refer to quarterly performance unless otherwise indicated.

Beer volume grew 8.9% organically versus last year and came 1.4% ahead of 2019 on an organic basis. The year on year growth was mainly driven by the strong recovery in Asia Pacific from the COVID-related restrictions of last year. Europe, the Americas and Africa, Middle East & Eastern Europe saw a low-single digit growth.

Premium beer volume grew 15.0% (18.1% excluding Russia), outperforming the portfolio and boosted by the strong recovery of Tiger in Vietnam. Heineken® continued its strong momentum and grew 11.3% in volume (14.9% excluding Russia), significantly outperforming the total beer market and ahead of 2019 by 29%. Volume grew double-digits in close to 50 markets. The growth was mainly driven by Brazil, China, South Africa, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Nigeria. Heineken® 0.0 grew 7.9% excluding Russia, driven by the Americas and Europe. Heineken® Silver is now launched in 28 markets, including Mexico, Chile and India. Overall, Heineken® Silver more than doubled its volume, driven by the recovery of Vietnam, continued strong growth in China and its global roll-out.

The reported net profit of Heineken N.V. for the first nine months of 2022 was €2,199 million (2021: €3,083 million). Last year included an exceptional gain of €1.270 million from the remeasurement to fair value of the previously held equity interest in United Breweries in India.

Based on the impact to date, and applying spot rates of 24 October 2022 to the 2021 financial results as a baseline for the remainder of the year, HEINEKEN calculates a positive currency translational impact of approximately €1,680 million in net revenue (beia), €250 million at operating profit (beia) and €180 million at net profit (beia).

In the internal management reports, HEINEKEN uses the measure of net revenue (beia).
