Brewing news World: AB InBev withdraws 2020 outlook because of COVIF-19 impact

Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, said on March 24 it was scrapping its 2020 outlook as the scale of the coronavirus increased, Yahoo Finance reported.

The Belgium-based maker of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona had forecast at the end of February that core profit (EBITDA) would decline by 10% in the first quarter and by between 2 and 5% for the full year.

At the time, the coronavirus crisis was largely confined to China.

"Since 27 February 2020, the scale and magnitude of COVID-19 has increased significantly, resulting in restrictions imposed on many customers, as well as other limitations and social distancing measures in many countries in mid-March," the company said in a statement.

"Given the uncertainty, volatility and fast-moving developments of the pandemic in the markets in which AB InBev operates, the company is withdrawing that 2020 outlook in its entirety because of the impact of COVID-19," it said.

The company said it was pressing ahead with an $11 billion sale to Asahi Group Holdings of its Australian operations and hoped to get regulatory approvals to allow the deal to close as soon as possible in the second quarter of 2020.

The deal had initially been set to close in the first quarter.
