 CEO Statement

Dolf van den Brink, Chairman of the Executive Board / CEO, commented:

“We delivered solid results with broad-based growth and profit expansion in 2024. Beer volume grew organically by 1.6%, and net revenue (beia) was up 5.0% with strong operating profit (beia) growth of 8.3%. Notably, our beer volume expanded in all four regions, across both developed and emerging markets.

Our EverGreen strategy continued to shape operations. Premium volume grew 5%, led globally by Heineken®, which was up 9%. Mainstream beer volume rose 2%, spearheaded by the leading brands in our largest markets, including Amstel in Brazil, Cruzcampo in the UK, and Kingfisher in India. The beyond beer segment grew 4%, led by Desperados globally and Savanna cider in Southern Africa. Heineken® 0.0 grew 10%, reinforcing our global leadership in non-alcoholic beer.

Gross savings exceeded €0.6 billion, supporting a 40 bps operating margin (beia) expansion. Marketing and selling investment increased by €0.3 billion, a double-digit organic increase, and we stepped up funding behind our digital and technology initiatives. Capital productivity focus helped deliver a strong free operating cash flow, exceeding €3 billion.

Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to further increase our investment in marketing and selling and behind our EverGreen priorities in 2025. We expect to grow operating profit (beia) organically in the range of 4% to 8%.”
