Key financial highlights include a 33% increase in no-alcohol beer revenue and a 63% growth in Gross Merchandise Value from BEES Marketplace. The company also reported a 1.9% decline in overall volumes, attributed to softer markets in China and Brazil, though it saw positive volume growth in other regions.
