Description
Ambev delivered an all-around beat in the previous quarter. The company sustained a 7% organic sales growth, aligning precisely with expectations, and achieved an 18% surge in adjusted earnings per share, reaching the upper limit of anticipated figures. Notably, strong organic sales growth included a 7% increase in pricing, reflecting the value-based pricing implemented last year and new pricing introduced this year to enhance customer value. Volume trends experienced a positive upswing, propelled by new business initiatives despite a softening global end-market demand. Ambev’s commitment to value-based pricing strategies and adaptability in the face of dynamic global energy prices was evident. Digital capabilities continue to bolster underlying productivity, with SG&A expenses remaining stable. Business performance across segments showed strength, with standout growth in Institutional and specialty and a resilient Industrial segment, especially in Food and beverage and Water. While the healthcare bifurcation strategy progresses well, Ambev’s management remains focused on sustainable and profitable growth. Despite short-term market pressures, Life Sciences exhibited mid-single-digit growth, aligning with the company’s strategy to capitalize on long-term high-growth, high-margin opportunities. Looking forward, they anticipate continued strong performance in Q4, with adjusted earnings per share expected to increase by 17% to 24% compared to last year.
