Special effects-adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBIT) rose 2.2 percent to just over $5.4 billion; The organic increase was 4.1 percent. As a result, AB Inbev earned $1.47 billion, an increase of 2.7 percent compared to the same quarter last year. Overall, the key figures roughly correspond to analysts’ expectations.

The brewer also announced a cash offer of up to $3 billion in voluntary bonds and a $1 billion share repurchase program.
