The Anheuser-Busch Inbev earnings report includes the following statement from management.

“The third quarter of 2019 was challenging, primarily driven by three anticipated factors: shipment phasing into 2Q19 in China ahead of summer activations, higher cost of sales per hl from significant commodity and transactional currency headwinds, and the year-over-year phasing of our sales and marketing investments driven by the 2018 FIFA World Cup RussiaTM. In addition, price increases implemented in South Korea and Brazil drove volume declines, which were exacerbated by softer consumer demand in light of difficult macroeconomic conditions.

BUD stock was down 10.70% as of Friday afternoon.
