Economic results
During the last 20 years, Budweiser Budvar has managed to increase its beer sales nearly threefold. In 2009, the brewery’s sales reached 1.3 million hectolitres of beer. Before making an accounting reserve of CZK 80 million, the 2008 pre-tax profit amounted to CZK 213 million.
Investments
Budweiser Budvar faces keen business competition in the markets of more than 50 countries on five continents; therefore modernization of its production facilities continually takes place. The brewery’s investment primarily aims at production technologies, logistics, business and marketing. The annual scope of the investment guarantees the brewery’s extended reproduction. Since 1991, Budweiser Budvar has invested more than CZK 3,500 million.
Financial standing
Budweiser Budvar has been accomplishing positive economic results on a long-term basis. The brewery’s operating requirements as well as its investment progress are sufficiently covered by creating their own financial resources; Budweiser Budvar is therefore independent of other resources. Since 1993, the brewery’s own capital has increased more than five-fold, from CZK 750 million to CZK 4,300 million.
