The East African Breweries Limited (EABL) has recorded a 9 per cent decline in net sales for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, as the first half growth of 10 per cent was offset by a 29 per cent decline in the second half.
The company attributed the second half decline to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which saw containment measures implemented across East Africa from late March 2020.
