Assumptions

Guidance is based on the full year assumptions as presented in the outlook for 2020 set out in the 2019 annual report; however, supplemented with following assumptions:

  • COVID-19will continue to impact the business - but with balanced restrictions
  • Large part of the On-Trade remain open, but majority of nightlife and events remains closed in most markets. In general, On-Trade is expected to trade below last year
  • Price/mix in Off-Trade to be broadly in line with 2019 assuming on-the-go consumption to get closer to the level of 2019 during the second half of the year
  • Continued high focus on discretionary spend
  • Sufficient financial flexibility to make commercial investments in marketing and sales initiatives
