1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2023 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Effective May 31, 2023, we changed our internal management financial reporting to consist of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits and we now report our operating results in three segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Corporate Operations and Other following the removal of the Canopy operating segment. All financial information for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022, has been restated to conform to the new segment presentation. For additional information, refer to Note 13.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily computed in accordance with the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Elements of cost include materials, labor, and overhead and consist of the following:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Overview

Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2023.

We have an investment in certain equity securities and other rights which provide us with the option to purchase an additional ownership interest in the equity securities of Canopy (see Note 7). This investment is included in other assets and is accounted for at fair value, with the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of this investment recognized in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments (see Note 4). We intend to surrender this investment for cancellation upon completion of the Canopy Transaction and if we elect to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares.

Foreign currency contracts$810.9$831.7
Commodity derivative contracts$344.6$416.5

Credit risk

We are exposed to credit-related losses if the counterparties to our derivative contracts default. This credit risk is limited to the fair value of the derivative contracts. To manage this risk, we contract only with major financial institutions that have earned investment-grade credit ratings and with whom we have standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow for net settlement of the derivative contracts. We have also established counterparty credit guidelines that are regularly monitored. Because of these safeguards, we believe the risk of loss from counterparty default to be immaterial.

In addition, our derivative instruments are not subject to credit rating contingencies or collateral requirements. As of August 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $1.7 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2023, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

Results of period derivative activity

The estimated fair value and location of our derivative instruments on our balance sheets are as follows (see Note 4):

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, including a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy includes three levels:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as volatility, interest rates, and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Fair value methodology

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:

Foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts

The fair value is estimated using market-based inputs, obtained from independent pricing services, entered into valuation models. These valuation models require various inputs, including contractual terms, market foreign exchange prices, market commodity prices, interest-rate yield curves, and currency volatilities, as applicable (Level 2 fair value measurement).

Interest rate swap and Pre-issuance hedge contracts

The fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yield curves, which are obtained from independent pricing services (Level 2 fair value measurement).

Canopy investment

In April 2023, we extended the maturity of the remaining C$100.0 million principal amount of our Canopy Debt Securities by exchanging them for the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note. As such, our investment in Canopy is comprised of the (i) Canopy Equity Method Investment, (ii) November 2018 Canopy Warrants, and (iii) 2023

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2024 Form 10-Q#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 10
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

Canopy Promissory Note. The November 2018 Canopy Warrants and the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note are measured at fair value. Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that neither of these instruments had future economic value given Canopy’s stock price relative to the exercise price of the warrants and the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, prior to the maturity of the note. Accordingly, the fair value of the remaining balances for these instruments were determined to be zero. This reduction in fair value is included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2023. If the Canopy Amendment is authorized by Canopy’s shareholders, we intend to negotiate an exchange of the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares, although neither we nor Canopy has any binding obligation to do so, and we also intend to surrender the November 2018 Canopy Warrants for cancellation upon completion of the Canopy Transaction and if we elect to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares.

Short-term borrowings

Our short-term borrowings consist of our commercial paper program and the revolving credit facility under our senior credit facility. The revolving credit facility is a variable interest rate bearing note with a fixed margin, adjustable based upon our debt rating (as defined in our senior credit facility). For these short-term borrowings, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

Long-term debt

The fair value of our fixed interest rate long-term debt is estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 fair value measurement). As of August 31, 2023, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,239.1 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,311.8 million. As of February 28, 2023, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,296.0 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,236.0 million.

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value as of August 31, 2023, and February 28, 2023, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Recurring basis measurements

(1)As of August 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Canopy Equity Method Investment exceeded the fair value (Level 1 fair value measurement). We evaluated and determined there was not an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based primarily on the period of time for which the fair value had been less than the carrying value, including Canopy’s stock price recovery above our carrying value following quarter-end. We will continue to evaluate the Canopy Equity Method Investment for an other-than-temporary impairment.

Equity method investments

As of August 31, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance. Investments with a carrying value of $14.9 million were written down to an estimated fair value of $2.6 million, resulting in an impairment of $12.3 million. These investments are part of the Corporate Operations and Other segment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2023. The estimated fair value was based largely on observable prices for similar assets.

We evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of May 31, 2023, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the fair value being less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

near-term, (ii) Canopy recorded significant costs in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 results designed to align its Canadian cannabis operations and resources in response to continued unfavorable market trends, (iii) the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, and (iv) Canopy’s identification of material misstatements in certain of its previously reported financial results related to sales in its BioSteel reporting unit that were accounted for incorrectly, including the recording of a goodwill impairment during its restated second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying value of $266.2 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $142.7 million, resulting in an impairment of $123.5 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the six months ended August 31, 2023. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of May 31, 2023.

We evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of August 31, 2022, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the period of time for which the fair value had been less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recording a significant impairment of goodwill related to its cannabis operations during its three months ended June 30, 2022, and (iii) the uncertainty of U.S. federal cannabis permissibility. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying value of $1,695.1 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $634.8 million, resulting in an impairment of $1,060.3 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of August 31, 2022.

Plan to convert Canopy common stock ownership

In October 2022, we entered into a Consent Agreement with Canopy pursuant to which we have provided our consent, subject to certain conditions, to the Canopy Transaction. Canopy only holds non-voting and non-participating exchangeable shares of Canopy USA which are convertible into Class B shares of Canopy USA. A third-party investor holds 100% of the common shares of Canopy USA.

In connection with the Canopy Transaction, Canopy has proposed to amend its share capital to (i) create Exchangeable Shares and (ii) restate the rights of Canopy common shares to provide for their conversion into Exchangeable Shares through the Canopy Amendment. Canopy has stated its intention to hold a special meeting of its shareholders to consider the Canopy Amendment. We have entered into a voting support agreement with Canopy to vote in favor of the Canopy Amendment.

If the Canopy Transaction is completed and the Canopy Amendment is authorized by Canopy’s shareholders and adopted by Canopy, we intend, subject to a final decision in our sole discretion, to exercise our right to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares.

Assuming the completion of the Canopy Transaction and the transactions contemplated by the Consent Agreement and that we elect to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares:

  • we intend to surrender our November 2018 Canopy Warrants to Canopy for cancellation;

  • we will only have an interest in Exchangeable Shares, which are non-voting and non-participating securities, and our 2023 Canopy Promissory Note (for which we intend to negotiate an exchange of the principal amount for Exchangeable Shares, although neither we nor Canopy has any binding obligation to do so);

  • we intend to terminate all legacy agreements and commercial arrangements between ourselves and Canopy, including the investor rights agreement but excluding the Consent Agreement and certain termination agreements;

  • we will have no further governance rights in relation to Canopy, including rights to nominate members to the board of directors of Canopy, or approval rights related to certain transactions;

  • all of our nominees will resign from the board of directors of Canopy; and

  • as our investment in Canopy common shares makes up our Canopy Equity Method Investment, we expect to no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy, which we expect to instead be accounted for at fair value with changes reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

If we do not convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares:

  • Canopy and its subsidiaries will not be permitted to exercise any rights to acquire shares and interests in entities carrying on cannabis-related business in the U.S.;

  • Canopy USA will be required to exercise its repurchase rights to acquire the interests in Canopy USA held by its third-party investors; and

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2024 Form 10-Q#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 15
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents
  • we will continue to have all existing rights under our agreements with Canopy that predate the Consent Agreement, including governance rights in respect of Canopy (such as board nomination rights and approval rights in respect of certain transactions).

Bank facilities

The Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders are parties to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain lenders were also parties to two term credit agreements. In May 2023, we repaid the outstanding three-year term loan facility borrowings under our August 2022 Term Credit Agreement with proceeds from the May 2023 Senior Notes (see “Senior notes” below). In August 2023, we repaid the outstanding five-year term loan facility borrowings under our April 2022 Term Credit Agreement with proceeds from commercial paper borrowings.

In October 2022, the Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders agreed to amend the 2022 Credit Agreement. The October 2022 Credit Agreement Amendment revises certain defined terms and covenants and will become effective upon (i) the amendment by Canopy of its Articles of Incorporation, (ii) the conversion of our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares, and (iii) the resignation of our nominees from the board of directors of Canopy.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program

We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility. As of August 31, 2023, we had $467.4 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.8% and a weighted average remaining term of nine days.

Senior notes

In May 2023, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.90% senior notes due May 2033. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $739.8 million. Interest on the 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2023. The 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to February 1, 2033, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment based on the present value of the future payments at the adjusted treasury rate, as defined in the applicable indenture, plus 25 basis points. On or after February 1, 2033, we may redeem the 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

Debt payments

As of August 31, 2023, the required principal repayments under long-term debt obligations (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $59.1 million and $24.5 million, respectively) for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2024 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, was 22.1% and (53.3)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022, was 17.4% and (13.1)%, respectively.

For the six months ended August 31, 2023, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2024 Form 10-Q#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 17
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

by (i) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses and (ii) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of a change in tax entity classification.

For the three months ended August 31, 2023, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by a net income tax benefit recognized from the realization of tax losses related to a prior period divestiture.

11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2023, net income (loss) per common share – basic for Class A Stock has been computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock reflects the weighted average shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The effect of dilutive securities includes the impact of outstanding stock-based awards. The dilutive computation does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI. The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for Class A Stock are as follows:

13. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Prior to May 31, 2023, our internal management financial reporting consisted of three business divisions: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Canopy and we reported our operating results in four segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, (iii) Corporate Operations and Other, and (iv) Canopy. Due to several factors occurring as of May 31, 2023, including those which led to the additional Canopy Equity Method Investment impairment combined with Canopy’s financial results no longer being provided to, or reviewed by, our CODM, and no longer being used to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, or assess performance, we have removed Canopy as a reportable segment. Accordingly, effective May 31, 2023, our internal management financial reporting consists of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits and we report our operating results in three segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Corporate Operations and Other.

In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported beer brands and ABAs. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to import, market, and sell our Mexican beer portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a portfolio that includes higher-margin, higher-growth wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate growth and strategy, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public relations, as well as our Canopy investment and investments made through our corporate venture capital function. All costs included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment are general costs that are applicable to the consolidated group and are, therefore, not allocated to the other reportable segments. All costs reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our CODM’s evaluation of the operating income (loss) performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management, and the structure of our internal financial reporting. Long-lived tangible assets and total asset information by segment is not provided to, or reviewed by, our CODM as it is not used to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, or assess performance.

In addition, management excludes Comparable Adjustments from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these Comparable Adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and the incentive compensation of segment management are evaluated based on core segment operating income (loss) which does not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.
