Underlying Profit    1 468 million USD

Underlying profit (normalized profit attributable to equity holders of AB InBev excluding mark-to-market gains and
losses linked to the hedging of our share-based payment programs and the impact of hyperinflation) was 1 468 million
USD in 2Q22 compared to 1 507 million USD in 2Q21 and was 2 672 million USD in HY22 compared to 2 606 million
USD in HY21.

Underlying EPS        0.73 USD

Underlying EPS was 0.73 USD in 2Q22, a decrease from 0.75 USD in 2Q21 and was 1.33 USD in HY22, an increase from
1.30 USD in HY21.

Net Debt to EBITDA      3.86x

Net debt to normalized EBITDA ratio was 3.86x at 30 June 2022 compared to 3.96x at 31 December 2021.

2022 OUTLOOK

    (i) Overall Performance: We expect our EBITDA to grow in-line with our medium-term outlook of between 4-8%
         and our revenue to grow ahead of EBITDA from a healthy combination of volume and price. The outlook for
         FY22 reflects our current assessment of the scale and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is subject
         to change as we continue to monitor ongoing developments.

    (ii) Net Finance Costs: Net pension interest expenses and accretion expenses are expected to be in the range of
         170 to 200 million USD per quarter, depending on currency and interest rate fluctuations. We expect the
         average gross debt coupon in FY22 to be approximately 4.0%. Net finance costs will continue to be impacted
         by any gains and losses related to the hedging of our share-based payment programs.

    (iii) Effective Tax Rates (ETR): We expect the normalized ETR in FY22 to be in the range of 28% to 30%, excluding
         any gains and losses relating to the hedging of our share-based payment programs. The ETR outlook does not
         consider the impact of potential future changes in legislation.

    (iv) Net Capital Expenditure: We expect net capital expenditure of between 4.5 and 5.0 billion USD in FY22.

Accountants, as amended from time to time.
