Heineken N.V. reports 2018 half year results
Amsterdam, 30 July 2018 - Heineken N.V. (EURONEXT: HEIA; OTCQX: HEINY) today announces:
Organic revenue +5.6% with revenue per hectolitre +1.1%
Consolidated beer volume +4.5%
Heineken® volume +7.5%
Operating profit (beia) +1.3% organically and operating profit (beia) margin -118 bps (-76 bps excluding Brasil Kirin)
Net profit (beia) of €1,076 million, +8.9% organically
Diluted EPS (beia) of €1.89 (2017: €1.82)
Full year expectations updated

CEO STATEMENT
Jean-François van Boxmeer, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO, commented:

"Top line came in strong in the first half, with organic net revenue growth across all regions. Europe was back to growth in the second quarter whilst the other regions maintained their positive momentum. The Heineken® brand grew strongly by 7.5%. Operating profit margin was lower than last year mainly due to the consolidation of Brasil Kirin, adverse currency effects and higher input costs.

In the second half, we expect a continuation of our revenue growth and an acceleration of our operating profit growth on an organic basis. We continue to invest steadily behind our brands, innovations, e-commerce platforms and commercial strategy. For the full year, given the marked acceleration of our business in Brazil with margins still below group average and the negative impact from currencies, we now expect the operating profit margin to decrease by approximately 20 bps."

FULL YEAR 2018 OUTLOOK STATEMENT

Economic conditions are expected to remain volatile and we assume a negative currency impact comparable to 2017 on revenue and operating profit.
Revenue growth is expected to continue and operating profit growth to accelerate in the second half on an organic basis.
We are updating our operating profit margin guidance for the full year to a decrease of approximately 20 bps mainly due to the following:
A strong performance in Brazil with two effects: In the first five months, the dilutive impact of the consolidation of Brasil Kirin was higher than expected, and for the remainder of the year, the marked acceleration of our combined operations with an operating margin still below group average plays negatively on the mix.
A higher than anticipated negative translational mix impact from currencies, as it concentrates more in operating companies with operating profit margins above the group average.
We expect an average interest rate (beia) broadly in line with 2017 (2017: 3.0%), and an effective tax rate (beia) of around 28% (2017: 27.6%).
Capital expenditure related to property, plant and equipment should be slightly above €2 billion (2017: €1.7 billion).

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

The second quarter saw strong organic volume growth in line with the first quarter, with all regions growing despite the short-term disruptions to our supply chain in Brazil, UK and France and timing of Easter. Net revenue per hectolitre was up organically for the first half across all regions apart from Asia Pacific due to country mix.

Net revenue increased 5.6% organically, with a 4.4% increase in total volume and a 1.1% increase in net revenue per hectolitre. The underlying price mix impact for the first six months was +2.9%.

Consolidated beer volume grew 4.5% organically in the first half. The underlying performance was stronger in the second quarter with volume up 4.6% organically, despite the timing of Easter, benefiting from good weather in Europe.

Heineken® volume grew 7.5%, with positive momentum in all regions especially in Africa, Middle East & Eastern Europe and the Americas. The brand grew double digit in Brazil, South Africa, Russia, UK, Nigeria, Mexico, Poland, Germany and Romania. The brand also saw healthy growth in Italy, Argentina, Chile, China and Spain. Heineken® continues to benefit from global sponsorship platforms such as UEFA Champions League® and Formula 1®. Heineken® 0.0, launched in the second quarter of 2017, is now available in 33 markets and performing strongly.

The international brand portfolio grew high single digit. Volume was up double digit for Tiger, Krušovice and Desperados.

Cider volume increased double digit to 2.6 million hectolitres (2017: 2.3 million). Growth was particularly strong in South Africa, Vietnam and Poland. In the UK, volume was up low single digit benefiting from innovation and the relisting at a large retailer. Cider is now locally produced in 14 markets.

Low & No-Alcohol (LNA) volumes increased low single digit, delivering 6.3 million hectolitres (2017: 5.7 million). The roll-out of Heineken® 0.0 and the continued positive performance of Radler more than offset lower malt volumes in Nigeria.

Craft & Variety volume was up double digit supported by the strong performance of local craft propositions as well as from international craft brands Affligem, Lagunitas and Mort Subite. Growth was particularly strong in the UK, Mexico, Italy, France and Hungary.

Innovation continues to be one of our main drivers of growth. The Blade, our countertop premium draught beer system launched in 2017, is now available in 12 markets allowing for increased penetration into small outlets. We continue to invest in our e-commerce initiatives, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer, which gain traction across different markets.

Operating profit (beia) grew 1.3% organically, as the benefit of the strong top line growth was partially offset by the phasing of expenses into the first half of the year and higher input costs. The operating profit (beia) margin declined 118 bps (76 bps excluding the consolidation of Brasil Kirin).

BREWING A BETTER WORLD

In the first half, a new global Heineken® When You Drive, Never Drink campaign was launched with F1® World Champion Nico Rosberg, focusing on the social pressures surrounding drinking and driving and empowering people to make the right decisions. As part of the Drop the C ambition to increase our renewable energy usage to 70% by 2030, several new projects were started to source wind, solar and biomass energy including at our largest breweries in the Netherlands. Mexico started operations in the Meoqui brewery, our largest greenfield and our most advanced in circular economy.

NET PROFIT
Net profit (beia) increased 8.9% organically to €1,076 million (2017: €1,036 million).

The impact of exceptional items and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles (eia) on net profit was €125 million (2017: €165 million).

Net profit after exceptional items and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles was €950 million (2017: €871 million)


INTERIM DIVIDEND
In accordance with its dividend policy, HEINEKEN fixes the interim dividend at 40% of the total dividend of the previous year. As a result, an interim dividend of €0.59 per share (2017: €0.54) will be paid on 9 August 2018. The shares will trade ex-dividend on 1 August 2018.

TRANSLATIONAL CURRENCY CALCULATED IMPACT
Using spot rates as of 24 July 2018 for the remainder of this year, the calculated negative currency translational impact would be approximately €179 million at consolidated operating profit (beia), and €112 million at net profit (beia). Foreign exchange markets continue to be volatile.
