International Breweries Plc, the Nigerian unit of Belgian brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) reported ₦2.2bn in net loss for the first quarter of 2018 ending in March.

Administrative expenses and net finance cost rose by 300% and 367% respectively to ₦6.3bn and ₦3.6bn. Cost of sales also grew 227% to ₦16.8bn, in part driven by FX and the FX impact on financing cost which led to the record ₦2.2bn loss.
