Year in a snapshot

In 2007, we organically grew EBITDA¹ 16.5%, and delivered on our commitment to create shareholder value through margin expansion and a disciplined use of capital for the third consecutive year.

With top line growth of around 5.2%, 2007 presented a mixed picture. We affirmed our strategic approach to brand-building and disciplined sales execution, with some good brand performances across our portfolio. But we also faced challenges in some key markets, impacting our overall volume growth as a result.

Going forward, we will build on our proven strengths and financial discipline to ensure a continuation of our strong profit growth. But we will also focus specifically on top line growth by drawing on best practices we find around us and throughout our company.

Top line growth combined with financial discipline, executed by the best teams of people working within InBev’s culture, reinforces our unchanging resolve to become the best beer company in a better world.
