For example, in 2011, Microsoft had negative retained earnings. This does not mean the company lost more money than it made over the years. It just means it paid out more money than it earned.

If a company has negative retained earnings, investors should check the 10-year financial results. They should not assume that negative retained earnings prove a company has generally lost money in the past.

Of course, many companies with negative retained earnings have indeed lost money in the past.

China Resources Beer, or CR Beer, was originally a conglomerate enterprise with operations across retail, beer, food and beverage sectors. In September 2015, the company disposed of all its non-beer businesses and became a pure beer producer. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the company retains its leadership position in China's beer industry. Amid the premiumization trend in the domestic beer market, CR beer acquired Heineken China in 2019, which allows CR Beer access to a premium international brand and also leverages its sophisticated distribution network to grow Heineken's sales and market share. CR Beer is now China's largest brewer, with a volume share of about 24%, versus 18% of Tsingtao and 16% of Budweiser APAC, based on Euromonitor data.
