East African Breweries reported double-digit net revenue growth in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in the quarter ended 30 September 2026. The brewer said higher sales volumes in beer and spirits drove the increase, with growth measured in each market’s local currency.

The company’s 5 November trading statement drew on unaudited management accounts. It gave no exact country growth rates, consolidated revenue figure or profit figure for the quarter.

The brewer said it issued the update ahead of a statement from its majority shareholder, Diageo, following a change in how Diageo classifies EABL in its accounts. Diageo’s statement also reported double-digit growth at EABL. Diageo said its own group organic net sales rose 0.6% excluding EABL.

East African Breweries said it plans to publish its results for the six months to 31 December 2026 on 29 January 2027.
