CITI'S TAKE

Neutral June IPCA reinforced the message already signaled by recent inflation

releases (link): beer pricing in Brazil remains broadly aligned with inflation, Price (09 Jul 26 18:00) R$15.72

highlighting the industry’s greater focus on volumes. Beer inflation stood Target price R$16.50

at +4.5%YoY in June, tracking headline IPCA at +4.6%YoY, bringing the Expected share price return 5.0%

pricing gap to -12bps (vs. +4bps in May and -18bps in Apr-26). On a Expected dividend yield 6.0%

monthly basis, beer prices declined -0.1%MoM, below headline inflation, Expected total return 10.9%

implying a -25 bps gap. Additionally, at-home channel (+5.3%YoY)

Market Cap R$247,805M continued to support beer pricing, while out-of-home beer inflation

US$47,945M remained softer at +3.4%YoY. Overall, we continue to see the industry

prioritizing an affordable-first strategy over price extraction, which we

view positively, especially as pricing discipline held during June’s global

football tournament, a period that typically supports consumption Renata CabralAC
