Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations, page 41
1.We note from your disclosure in the Results of Operations section that you discuss the
changes in your revenues on a net sales per hectoliter by financial volume in local
currency basis. We further note that the percentages of changes discussed do not always
provide clear data to investors in relation to the financial statements. In this regard, you
state on page 41 that net sales increased 9.3% on a per hectoliter, financial volume, local
currency basis for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2021, however, the tables above reflect a total 4.1% change in net sales.
Please note that per Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K, “the discussion and analysis must be
of the financial statements and other statistical data that the registrant believes will
enhance a reader's understanding of the registrant's financial condition, cash flows and
other changes in financial condition and results of operations.” Therefore, while the

discussion of changes in net sales per hectoliter by financial volume on a local currency
basis may provide meaningful information that will enhance a reader’s understanding of
your results of operations under Item 303(b)(2)(iii), the discussion should be expanded to
include a discussion of the actual results of operations as in your financial statements.
Please revise to clearly discuss how this change in net sales per hectoliter by financial
volume in local currency basis, contributes to the total change in net sales, and also
discuss how other factors, including those that may offset the change in financial volume,
contributed to the change in net sales. Also, revise to describe how the percentage change
in net sales per hectoliter by financial volume in local currency basis is determined or
calculated.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
You may contact Heather Clark at 202-551-3624 or Claire Erlanger at 202-551-3301 with
