Understanding EABL FY 2026 Results
Description
In this episode, recorded on September 2, 2026, we sit down with Justin Mollel (Group CFO, East African Breweries PLC) to dissect the group's FY26 financial performance. We explore how broad-based, volume-led growth across Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya drove net sales to KES 146 billion ($1.12B), the strategic shift to a 50-50 fixed-and-floating debt mix, how cost-productivity initiatives offset raw material inflation, and the operational focus ahead of the upcoming Diageo-Asahi ownership transition.
