The company’s organic operating profit increased by 7.4% between January and June, reaching 2,027 million euros, Heineken stated in a press release.
The company’s revenue amounted to 14,180 million euros in the first half, 4.3% less than the same period last year, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 37.3%, totaling 2,940 million euros.
The profit boost, according to Heineken, was driven by growth in regions such as Africa and Asia, as well as savings.
“Our privileged geographical presence helped us adapt to the current macroeconomic challenges affecting consumer confidence and spending,” said CEO Dolf van den Brink in the statement.
The brewery maintained its annual profit growth forecasts between 4% and 8%, also highlighting the increasing impact of U.S. customs tariffs.
