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 2024 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Reclassification

We reclassified equity method investments to other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2024, to conform with current year presentation.

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:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

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, 2024, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $21.0 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2024, 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).

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, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,088.3 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,516.2 million. As of February 29, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,637.9 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,775.8 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, 2024, and February 29, 2024, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Goodwill

As of August 31, 2024, in connection with negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook for this reporting unit. The updated forecast indicated it was more likely than not the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2025 Form 10-Q#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 11
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

impairment. This assessment indicated that the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill impairment within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2024. See Notes 5, 6, and 9 for further discussion.

When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of goodwill, we measure the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on the discounted cash flow calculation. The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow calculation were: (i) a 9% discount rate, (ii) a 1.5% expected long-term growth rate, and (iii) the annual cash flow projections. If there are adverse deviations from our expectations about our Wine and Spirits business or the macroeconomic environment, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including if broader industry and market conditions continue to decline and/or our expectations of future performance as reflected in our current strategic operating plans are not fully realized, a future impairment of the Wine and Spirits goodwill is reasonably possible.

Equity method investments

As of August 31, 2024, we evaluated an equity method investment, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment due to business underperformance. 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, 2024. The estimated fair value was based largely on the cash flows expected to be generated by the investment using unobservable data points.

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 $14.9 million carrying value were written down to $2.6 million, their estimated fair value, resulting in a $12.3 million impairment. 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 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 Sports Nutrition Inc. 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 $266.2 million carrying value was written down to $142.7 million, its estimated fair value, resulting in a $123.5 million impairment. 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 no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy following the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares. See Note 7 for further discussion.

Acquisition

Sea Smoke

In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility for $170.0 million, subject to adjustments. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Divestiture

Craft Beer Divestitures

In June 2023, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures. Prior to the Craft Beer Divestitures, we recorded the results of operations of such craft beer brands in the Beer segment.

We did not incur costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023. Net carrying amount represents the gross carrying value net of accumulated amortization.

Additionally, as of August 31, 2024, in connection with the assessment of the same events and circumstances triggering the interim goodwill impairment test for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit, we completed an interim impairment test of our wine and spirits trademarks. We performed qualitative evaluations considering the results of the most recent fair value measurements as of January 1, 2024, and the likely impact of the negative trends for our Wine and Spirits business on the fair values of the trademarks and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair values of these intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts.

(1)Following the April 2024 conversion to Exchangeable Shares we no longer apply the equity method.

Exchangeable Shares

In April 2024, we elected to convert our 17.1 million Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, in April 2024, we exchanged C$81.2 million of the principal amount of the C$100.0 million 4.25% promissory note issued to us by Canopy for 9.1 million Exchangeable Shares and forgave all accrued but unpaid interest together with the remaining principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $83.3 million net gain in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2024. The fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy’s common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy’s common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As the Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for the Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

Bank facilities

The Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders are parties to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The October 2022 Credit Agreement Amendment revised certain defined terms and covenants in the 2022 Credit Agreement and became effective in April 2024 following (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.

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2024, was 30.0% of tax benefit compared with 22.1% of tax expense for the six months ended August 31, 2023. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2024, was 11.4% of tax benefit compared with 17.4% of tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2023.

For the six months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses, partially offset by a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment.

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2025 Form 10-Q#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 16
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSTable of Contents

For the three months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment.

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 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.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a 15% global minimum tax rate. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and currently do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.

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

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:

14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 produce our Mexican beer portfolio and to import, market, and sell such portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a portfolio that includes higher-end wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy, executive management, growth, 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.

(i)Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value given 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 balance for this instrument was determined to be zero. In April 2024, we exchanged the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares.

15. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED

Segment reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued a standard requiring disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM as well as the title and position of the CODM. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2025, and interim periods beginning March 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Income taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued a standard aimed at improving tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2026, with early adoption permitted and this standard may be applied retrospectively. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Climate

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules will require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks, how the board of directors and management oversee and manage such risks, and the actual and potential material impacts of such risks on us. The rules also require disclosure about material climate-related targets and goals, Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and the financial impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The SEC has indicated that it will publish a new effective date for the rules, if ultimately implemented, at the conclusion of the stay. These rules will be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of these rules on our SEC filings.
