--The Budweiser brewer swung to a first-quarter profit as sales beat expectations --The company said beer volumes in the period exceeded pre-pandemic levels By Adria Calatayud Anheuser-Busch InBev SA said Thursday that Chief Executive Officer Carlos Brito will step down from his role and that Michel Doukeris will succeed him, as it reported a return to first-quarter net profit on sales that beat expectations. The world's largest brewer--with brands such as Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona--said revenue returned to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter, with beer volumes exceeding those of the comparable periods of 2019 and 2020 on the back of a strong performance of its premium portfolio.
