Heineken reports profit online and reveals plan to cut up to 6,000 jobs

Heineken guaranteed an adjusted operating profit of 4.385 billion euros in 2025, 4.4% higher than the previous year, a result that came in line with analysts' projections, according to a report released this Wednesday, 11. The Dutch brewery also announced that it will cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs in the next two years to "accelerate large-scale productivity to unlock significant savings". The plan to reduce the workforce came after Heineken recorded a 1.7% drop in consolidated beer volumes in the fourth quarter of last year. For 2025 as a whole, volumes decreased by 1.2%. For 2026, the world's second-largest brewery expects further progress in operating profit, by 2% to 6%. *With information from Dow Jones Newswires
