In 2020, Ambev concluded the calculation of its tax credits on a judicial decision related to the exclusion of the Value-Added Tax (ICMS) from the taxable basis of the social contribution on gross revenues (PIS and COFINS). As a result of this judicial decision and other tax credit adjustments, in 2020, Ambev reclassified the tax credits previously reported in revenue to other operating income, and as such, restated its 2019 comparatives as required by IAS 8
Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors.

In 2020, Budweiser APAC reclassified the “Proceeds from cash pooling loans from AB InBev” from investing to financing activities in the summarized cash flow information. The presentation of the comparative amount has been restated to conform to the current year presentation.
