(MENAFN- The Rio Times) In the second quarter of 2024, Brazil's Ambev (ABEV3) reported a net profit of R$2.452 billion ($434 million).
This marks a 5.6% decline from the same period in 2023. Adjusted net profit stood at R$2.459 billion ($435 million), down 8.3%.
Ambev attributed this decrease primarily to lower income tax deductibility in Brazil. This issue overshadowed growth in adjusted EBITDA and improved net financial results.
The company's adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached R$5.811 billion ($1.029 billion). This reflects a 10.2% increase from the previous year on a reported basis.
Organically, it rose by 15.9%. This growth was driven by strong performances in several regions.
