CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholders,

2020 was an extraordinarily difficult and challenging year for the world in general due to the global Covid-19
pandemic. Many businesses were shut down due to the lockdowns and movement control measures imposed to
curb the spread of the coronavirus, resulting in people losing their jobs. However, the good news is Covid-19 has

GENERAL DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholders,

If you have to describe the color of 2020, what would it be? Most people would probably say “grey”, as a result
of the deadly Covid-19 outbreak along with its social distancing measures, socioeconomic decline, and natural
disasters caused by climate change and global warming.

For SABECO, we saw hope, opportunities, compassion, and a lot more than just grey in 2020. We saw “red” with
our launch of Bia Lac Viet, the true Vietnamese beer for the Vietnamese people, as part of the Corporation’s 145th
anniversary campaign. We saw “blue” with the launch of Bia Saigon Chill, which was a new mass premium beer
produced with deep cold-filtered technology at -2oC. We saw “gold” with our relaunch of Bia Saigon Gold with
its attractive limited-edition gold bar packaging. Apart from these product launches, we also demonstrated our
CSR commitment, including the “Rise with Vietnam” relay that raised funds to support workers in need during
this challenging year. We also installed solar systems in breweries to do our part in using renewable energy.

Despite a difficult 2020, where we reported a lower profit after tax of VND4,937 billion, or 8% down from
the previous year, SABECO managed to surpass its approved business plan by VND1,685 billion or 52%. This

For SABECO, we saw hope, In 2021, we will continue to drive the growth of our brands through improving brand awareness, distribution,
opportunities, compassion, and a and consumption. Further margin improvements will be pursued through the implementation of SABECO 4.0
by transforming our ways of work, focusing on centralization, simplification and standardizing our processes.
lot more than just “grey” in 2020. We also continue to drive operational and cost excellence, using our “Best Trading Company Award” and
“Best Brewery Award” platforms. In terms of people, we plan to engage, motivate, and upskill our employees
to maximize their potential.

2021 will continue to be tough, but with hope of more substantial recovery in the late part of the year. Under
the wise guidance from the Board of Directors, the relentless efforts of the Management and all employees, and
SABECO’s enduring spirit of never giving up, I strongly believe that we will usher in a brighter 2021. Together
we will rise and overcome any challenges, as no diamonds can be found without pressure.

Yours faithfully,

Neo Gim Siong Bennett

SUPPLY CHAIN Warehouse Management System (WMS) completely rolled out at the end of June 2020. This
system provided real-time inventory visibility, thereby improving operational efficiency,
reducing operational errors, improving warehouse services, and lowering operational costs.

Besides, Transportation Management System (TMS) was officially launched in December 2020.
The utilization of TMS together with WMS would allow tracking of real-time inventory throughout
the system, facilitating SATRACO’s staff in planning for transportation. Activities across the
supply chain would also be monitored and controlled more effectively through a comprehensive
management system, which can optimize transportation costs, improve capacity, as well as
provide a platform for better coordination between warehouses, transportation, trading
companies, and sales force. The project not only made economic sense in production and
business activities of SABECO and SATRACO, but also raised the competitiveness of member
companies and partners in the Corporation’s supply chain.

PRODUCTION

In 2020, the Production Management Software was put into use to help reporting data become more timely, accurate, and objective,
thereby ensuring quick and convenient management and execution.

In addition, SABECO has invested in the following projects:

during social distancing periods when on-trade was suspended.

beer production water in order to maintain semi-finished goods, which led
to increases in production norms per 1,000 liters of beer.

On behalf of the Board of Management the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the Company’s Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

AUDITOR’S OPINION

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated
financial position of Saigon Beer - Alcohol - Beverage Corporation and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2020 and of their
consolidated results of operations and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Vietnamese
Neo Gim Siong Bennett Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System for enterprises and the relevant statutory requirements applicable to
General Director financial reporting.
