HEINEKEN introduces new disclosure in earnings release
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, 6 August 2013 - Heineken N.V. ('HEINEKEN') announced today the
introduction of new reporting metrics (non-IFRS) to provide greater transparency
on Group performance. This new information will be disclosed for the first time
in HEINEKEN's release on the first half of 2013 to be announced on 21 August
2013.
The key new metrics being introduced are:
1. New volume and financial Group metrics to provide better insight into the
contribution of HEINEKEN's joint venture and associate businesses to overall
group performance. Group figures are calculated as the sum of all
consolidated operations and HEINEKEN's attributable share in joint ventures
and associates. New Group figures will be reported for total volume, beer
volume, revenue and operating profit (beia). Consequently, the previously
reported Group beer volume metric (defined as consolidated beer volume plus
100% of the beer volume sold by joint venture companies) will no longer be
reported.
2. An analysis of total growth split by consolidation impact, currency
translation and organic growth at consolidated level.
3. A breakdown of total volume into the following categories: beer, licensed &
non-beer and third party products volume.
To help the market understand how these changes will impact on HEINEKEN's 2013
results, Appendix 1 provides an analysis of 2012 results under the new reporting
metrics. The 2012 financial information presented in Appendix 1 has been
restated for the implementation of the previously announced revised accounting
standard IAS19, which is treated as an inorganic item. Appendix 2 includes a
glossary of all relevant reporting metrics.
