What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1United States sales depend on a network of independent distributors to get products to retailers and bars; one company-owned distributor handled about 5% of Americas segment sales in 2025.
2Brewing depends on supplies of barley, hops, water, aluminum cans, glass bottles and other packaging materials from farms, utilities and commercial suppliers.
3Some products and routes to market depend on agreements with brand owners, licensees, joint-venture partners and third-party distributors.
4Alcohol production, advertising, distribution and sales depend on permits, licenses, taxes and local rules that vary by country, state and province.

What could go wrong

1Consumer preferences and competition can shift sales away from beer toward spirits-based ready-to-drink cocktails and other drinks; lower shipments in the United States and Europe have already affected reported sales volumes in 2026.
2Higher costs for aluminum, packaging, ingredients, transport and manufacturing can reduce margins; the company reported higher aluminum-related costs from the U.S. Midwest Premium in the first half of 2026 and said it may not be able to pass all cost increases on to customers.
3Disruptions among independent distributors, key suppliers or partners, or changes to alcohol distribution rules, could interrupt production or prevent products from reaching stores, bars and restaurants.
