\n Bud Light continues to drag Anheuser-Busch InBev\u2019s bottom line in the United States, but the world\u2019s biggest brewer\u2019s sales rose because of higher prices.\n <\/p>\n

\n The company reported a 13.5% decline in third-quarter US revenue per 100 liters, a key measure of beer sales, as an ongoing backlash to Bud Light continues. The brand\u2019s customers turned their backs on Bud Light after the company partnered with a transgender influencer \u2013 and then muddled its response.\n <\/p>\n

\n AB InBev said that sales to US retailers declined nearly 17% \u201cprimarily due to the volume decline of Bud Light.\u201d In response, the company cut deals with wholesalers, including writing checks to distributors, and increasing marketing spend on the brand. But that took a toll on the company\u2019s bottom line, and contributed to a 29% decline in adjusted US earnings.\n <\/p>\n

\n Tuesday\u2019s report painted a bleak picture for Bud Light, sales and shipments of which have weakened dramatically since its brief and limited partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney in the spring.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the summer, Bud Light lost its long-held top-selling American beer title to rival Modelo. The Constellation-owned brand has been making inroads in the US market for several years as customers switch their tastes to Mexican lagers.\n <\/p>\n

\n Last week, the UFC switched their beer sponsorship from Modelo to Bud Light in a reportedly record-breaking deal as part of AB\u2019s revitalization efforts of the brand.\n <\/p>\n

\n Sales of Bud Light are still sinking, with volumes down 30% year-over-year for the four weeks ending on October 7, according to NIQ data given to Beer Business Daily newsletter.\n <\/p>\n

\n Still, the news for the beer giant was frothier globally. Overall revenue rose 5% to about $15.6 billion and adjusted earnings increased 4.1%, because of price increases. Volumes dipped 3.4%, despite growth in the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, while it warned of \u201csoft\u201d performance in Europe.\n <\/p>\n

\n AB-InBev (BUD) shares rose 4% in premarket trading, with the company also announcing a $1 billion stock buyback.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
