HONG KONG: The Asia business of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, filed on Friday a draft prospectus for an initial public offering , which two sources with knowledge of the matter said could be worth at least US$5 billion.

AB InBev's Asia-Pacific region, whose main markets are China and Australia, last year made up 18per cent of group volume and 14per cent of underlying operating profit. Its revenues were US$8.47 billion. AB InBev aims to spin off the business to reduce its net debt, which stood at US$102.5 billion at the end of December, a figure inflated by its late 2016 purchase of nearest rival SABMiller for around US$100 billion.It wants to bring its net debt/EBITDA ratio to around two times from a multiple of 4.6 at the end of last year. With that goal, it has halved its proposed dividend and said payouts will only grow slowly.
