Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

100 rewritten, 81 added, 95 removed, 168 unchanged

Rewritten

The reader should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information contained within this [removed: Annual Report on Form 10-K.][added: report.]

Rewritten

The risks set forth below are those that management believes are most likely to have a material adverse effect on [removed: us, however, are not a comprehensive description of the risks facing our Company.][added: us.]

Rewritten

If the following risks or uncertainties, individually or in combination, actually occur, they may have a material adverse effect on our business, [added: financial conditions,] results of operations [removed: and] [added: or] prospects.

Rewritten

[removed: Risks] [added: Risks] Specific to Our [removed: Company][added: Company]

Rewritten

[removed: The] [added: The] global beer industry [removed: is] [added: and the broader alcohol industry are] constantly evolving, and our position within the global beer industry and our markets in which we operate may fundamentally change.

Rewritten

If we do not successfully transform along with [removed: the] evolving industry and market dynamics, then the result could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial [removed: results.][added: results. The brewing industry has significantly evolved over the years becoming an increasingly global beer market.]

Rewritten

For many years, the industry operated primarily on local presence with modest international expansion achieved through export, license and partnership [removed: arrangements, whereas it has now become increasingly complex as the global consolidation of brewers has resulted in fewer major market participants.][added: arrangements.]

Rewritten

For example, [removed: U.S. and Canada] [added: the North American] beer markets have long consisted of a select number of significant market participants with government-regulated routes to market.

Rewritten

However, evolution in these [added: markets] and [removed: others of] our [added: other] beer [removed: markets] [added: markets,] together with emerging changes to consumer [removed: preferences] [added: preferences,] have introduced a significant [removed: expansion of] [added: increase in] market entrants and resulted in increased consumer choice and market competition, as well as increased government scrutiny.

Rewritten

Specifically, [removed: in the] [added: our] U.S., Canada and [removed: Europe, we] [added: Europe markets] have experienced vast expansion in the craft beer industry along with the expansion of [removed: cider and] [added: cider,] flavored malt [added: beverages (including hard seltzers), and other wellness] beverages.

Rewritten

If our competitors are able to respond more quickly to the evolving trends within the craft beer, [removed: cider and] [added: cider, hard seltzer,] flavored malt beverages [added: and other wellness beverages] categories, or if our new products are not successful, our business and financial results may be adversely impacted.

Rewritten

[added: Furthermore, imported beers also continue to compete aggressively in the U.S.] In Canada, changes to interprovincial trade rules, regulations, distribution models, and packaging requirements, such as government-owned retail outlets and industry standard returnable bottles, may be disadvantageous to us.

Rewritten

Currently, in Ontario and other provinces, provincial governments are reviewing and/or changing this historical foundation as a result of this market evolution and increased demand by some for government intervention to [removed: enhance] [added: increase] competition and choice.

Rewritten

[removed: If] [added: However, if] we are unsuccessful in evolving with, and navigating through, the changes to the markets in which we operate, there could be a [added: material adverse effect on our business and financial results.]

Rewritten

[removed: Competition] [added: Competition] in our markets could require us to reduce prices or increase capital and other expenditures or cause us to lose sales volume, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial [removed: results.][added: results. In many of our markets, our primary competitors have greater financial, marketing, production and distribution resources than we do, and may be more diverse in terms of their geographies and brand portfolios.]

Rewritten

Further, consolidation of distributors in our industry could reduce our ability to promote our brands in the [removed: market] [added: markets] in a manner that enhances rather than diminishes [removed: their] [added: our brands'] value, as well as reduce our ability to manage our pricing [removed: effectively.][added: effectively and efficiently.]

Rewritten

Moreover, most of our major markets are mature, so growth opportunities may be more limited to us than to our [added: global] competitors.

Rewritten

For example, sales in [removed: the U.S. and Canada] [added: North America] accounted for approximately 80% of our total [removed: 2018] [added: 2019] sales.

Rewritten

[removed: Our] [added: Our] success as an enterprise [added: currently] depends largely on the success of relatively few products in several mature markets specific to the beer industry; if consumer preferences shift away from our [removed: products or] [added: products,] consumption of our products [removed: decline,] [added: decline or we are unable to successfully and timely innovate beyond beer,] our business and financial results could be materially adversely [removed: affected.][added: affected. Our *Coors Light* and *Miller Lite* brands in the U.S., *Coors Light, Molson Canadian*, *Coors Banquet* and *Carling* brands in Canada, and *Carling, Staropramen, Jelen, Bergenbier* and *Coors Light* brands in Europe represented more than half of each respective segment's sales volumes in 2019.]

Rewritten

Additionally, in some of our major markets, specifically [removed: Canada,] the [removed: U.S.] [added: U.S., Canada] and Europe, there has been a shift in consumer preferences within the total beer market away from premium brands to "craft beer" produced by smaller, regional microbreweries, as well as a shift within the total alcohol beverage market from beer to wine and spirits.

Rewritten

Moreover, several of our major markets are mature and we have a significant share in such markets, therefore, small movements in consumer preference, such as consumer shifts away from premium light brands, can [added: also] disproportionately impact our results.

Rewritten

[removed: The] [added: The] success of our business relies heavily on brand image, reputation, product quality and protection of intellectual [removed: property.][added: property. It is important that we maintain and increase the image and reputation of our existing brands and products.]

Rewritten

Concerns about product quality, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to our image and [added: the] reputation of our brands and products.

Rewritten

While we have quality control programs in place, in the event we [added: or our third-party manufacturers] experienced an issue with product [removed: quality,] [added: quality or if any of our products become unsafe or unfit for consumption, are misbranded or cause injury,] we may experience recalls or liability in addition to business disruption which could further negatively impact brand image and [removed: reputation and] [added: reputation,] negatively affect our [removed: sales.][added: sales and cause us to incur additional costs.]

Rewritten

We also could be exposed to lawsuits relating to product [removed: liability or] [added: liability,] marketing or sales [removed: practices.][added: practices or intellectual property infringement.]

Rewritten

In addition, because our brands carry family names, personal activities by certain members of the Molson or Coors families that harm their public image or reputation could [added: also] have an adverse effect on our brands.

Rewritten

[added: We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken to protect] our intellectual property rights will be sufficient or that third parties will not infringe upon or misappropriate these [added: rights or that other parties may claim that our brands infringe on their intellectual property] rights.

Rewritten

[removed: Weak,] [added: Weak,] or weakening of, economic or other negative conditions in the markets in which we do [removed: business] [added: business, including reductions in discretionary consumer spending,] could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial [removed: results.][added: results. Beer consumption in many of our markets is closely tied to general economic conditions and a significant portion of our portfolio consists of premium and above premium brands.]

Rewritten

[added: Our significant debt level subjects us to financial and operating risks, and the agreements governing such debt subject us to financial and operating covenants and restrictions.] Our indebtedness subjects us to [added: various] financial and operating covenants, [removed: including] [added: including, but not limited to,] restrictions on priority indebtedness, leverage thresholds, liens, certain types of secured debt and certain types of sale lease-back transactions and transfers of assets, [added: each of] which may limit our flexibility in responding to our business needs.

Rewritten

- limit our flexibility to plan for and adjust to changing business and market [removed: conditions and increase our][added: conditions, including successfully]

Rewritten

[added: execute our revitalization plan, and increase our] vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry [removed: conditions;]

Rewritten

[added: However, should LIBOR no] longer be [removed: available,] [added: available or if] the [removed: rates we pay under certain derivative financial instruments] [added: methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, our borrowing costs] could increase, which would negatively affect our profitability, and the attractiveness of borrowings under our current credit facility or future debt issuances could diminish, thereby limiting our access to capital.

Rewritten

[removed: A] [added: A] deterioration in our credit rating could increase our borrowing rates or have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain future financing or refinance current [removed: debt.][added: debt. Ratings agencies may downgrade our credit ratings below their current investment grade levels if we are unable to meet our deleveraging commitments.]

Rewritten

A credit ratings [added: downgrade, particularly a] downgrade [added: below investment grade,] could increase our costs of future borrowing and harm our ability to refinance our debt in the future on acceptable terms or access the capital markets.

Rewritten

[added: Default by, or failure of, one or more of our counterparty financial institutions could cause us to incur significant losses.] As part of our risk management activities, we enter into transactions involving derivative financial instruments, including, among others, forward contracts, commodity swap contracts, option contracts, with various financial institutions.

Rewritten

[added: Our operations face significant exposure to changes in commodity prices, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.] We use a large volume of agricultural and other raw materials, some of which are purchased through supply contracts with third parties, to produce our products, including barley, malted barley, hops, corn, other various starches, water and packaging materials, including aluminum cans and bottles, glass and polyethylene terephthalate containers, as well as, cardboard and other paper products.

Rewritten

For example, in June 2018, U.S. tariffs on aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and EU went into [removed: effect,] [added: effect (though the U.S. lifted the aluminum tariffs on Canada and Mexico in May 2019),] which has created volatility in the price of aluminum in the U.S. and increased the price of aluminum used in some of our product packaging.

Rewritten

[removed: Unfavorable] [added: Unfavorable] outcomes of legal or regulatory proceedings may adversely affect our business and financial [removed: condition.][added: condition. We are from time to time involved in or subject to legal or regulatory proceedings related to our business.]

Rewritten

[removed: We] [added: We] may incur impairments of the carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial [removed: results.][added: results. In connection with various business combinations, we have historically allocated material amounts of the related purchase prices to goodwill and other intangible assets that are considered to have indefinite useful lives.]

Rewritten

For example, as a result of the Acquisition, we allocated approximately $6.3 billion and $7.6 [added: billion to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively.]

New in FY2019

However, the risks set forth below are not a comprehensive description of the risks facing our Company.

New in FY2019

See also "Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."

New in FY2019

In contrast, it has now become increasingly complex as the global consolidation of brewers has resulted in fewer major market participants.

New in FY2019

In addition, certain states in the U.S. have passed or are considering passing, and Canada has passed, laws and regulations that allow the sale and distribution of cannabis.

New in FY2019

Currently, it is not possible to predict the impact of this on sales of alcoholic beverages but it is possible that legal cannabis usage could adversely impact the demand for our products.

New in FY2019

We also compete generally with other alcoholic beverages.

New in FY2019

We compete with other beer and beverage companies not only for drinker acceptance and loyalty, but also for shelf, cold box and tap space in retail establishments and for marketing focus by our distributors and their customers, all of which also distribute and sell other beers and alcoholic beverage products.

New in FY2019

In addition, the broader alcohol industry is experiencing a rapid shift in drinking preferences and behaviors.

New in FY2019

We believe this has been driven by a generational demographic shift away from beer in particular towards other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

New in FY2019

As discussed above, even within the beer industry we have seen a shift away from the traditionally most popular beer brands and segments and a corresponding expansion in the craft beer industry along with the expansion of cider, hard seltzers, flavored malt beverages and other wellness beverages.

New in FY2019

Accordingly, we have initiated our revitalization plan, pursuant to which we will strive to achieve more consistent topline growth by expanding beyond beer and into adjacent beverage categories.

New in FY2019

More recently, the rapid growth of hard seltzers in the U.S. may have shifted some consumers away from our brands and beer generally.

New in FY2019

Furthermore, as part of our revitalization plan, our future topline growth will depend, in part, on our ability to timely innovate and develop new products beyond traditional beer.

New in FY2019

In connection with our revitalization plan, we plan to innovate, test and scale products faster than we have before.

New in FY2019

However, the launch and ongoing success of new products are inherently uncertain, especially with respect to consumer appeal.

New in FY2019

The launch of a new product can give rise to a variety of costs and an

New in FY2019

unsuccessful launch or short-lived popularity of our product innovations could, among other things, affect consumer perception of our existing brands and our reputation as well as result in inventory write-offs and other costs.

New in FY2019

Our inability to attract consumers to our product innovations relative to our competitors’ products, especially over time, could negatively affect our growth, business, and financial results.

New in FY2019

A widespread product recall, multiple product recalls or a significant product liability judgment could cause our products to be unavailable for a period, which could further reduce consumer demand and brand equity.

New in FY2019

Our restructuring activities related to our revitalization plan may not be successful and the estimated costs associated with such activities may be more than expected, and our restructuring activities may adversely impact employee hiring and retention. On October 28, 2019, as part of the revitalization plan, we made the determination to establish Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, close our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidate certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations.

New in FY2019

In connection with these consolidation activities, we expect to incur certain cash and non-cash restructuring charges related to employee relocation, severance, retention and transition costs, non-cash asset related costs, lease exit costs in connection with office leases in Denver, Colorado, and other transition activities currently estimated in the range of approximately $120 million to $180 million in the aggregate, the majority of which will be cash charges that we began recognizing in the fourth quarter of 2019, and will be further spread through the balance of fiscal years 2020 and 2021.

New in FY2019

In 2019, we recognized aggregate special charges of approximately $43 million related to this estimated range, comprised primarily of severance and retention charges of which approximately $40 million remained accrued as of December 31, 2019.

New in FY2019

These expenses will adversely impact our results of operations during the relevant periods and will reduce our cash position.

New in FY2019

Additionally, the amount of these estimated expenses, as well as our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings, revitalization plan goals and other benefits of our restructuring activities, are subject to various assumptions and uncertainties.

New in FY2019

We may also experience additional costs in connection with these restructuring activities due to delays or other unforeseen circumstances.

New in FY2019

There is no assurance that we will successfully implement, or fully realize the anticipated costs and other benefits of our restructuring activities or execute successfully on our restructuring plan, in the time frames we desire or at all.

New in FY2019

If we fail to realize the anticipated benefits, including ongoing cost savings, or if we incur charges or costs in amounts that are greater than anticipated, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

New in FY2019

In addition, in connection with the announcement that we plan to consolidate our office locations, we have experienced attrition in our workforce.

New in FY2019

As a result, we will be required to hire and train new employees to replace certain employees who were affected by our restructuring activities.

New in FY2019

The increased turnover in our employees could distract management and others from the operation of our business and make it more difficult to retain and hire new talent.

New in FY2019

The turnover and any resulting distraction could also negatively impact the overall performance of our employees, resulting in inefficiencies, higher short- or long-term costs, or decreased productivity.

New in FY2019

As a result of these or other similar risks, our business, plans, strategies, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

New in FY2019

conditions;

New in FY2019

- require us to make unfavorable changes to our current financing structure;

New in FY2019

At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect any discontinuance, modification or other reforms to LIBOR or any other reference rate, or the establishment of alternative reference rates will have on us.

New in FY2019

While we have publicly expressed our intention to maintain an investment grade debt rating, ratings are determined by third-party rating agencies.

New in FY2019

In addition, our North America business unit is exposed to variability in the market price of a regional premium differential (referred to as “Midwest Premium” in the U.S.) charged by industry participants to deliver aluminum from the smelter to the manufacturing facility.

New in FY2019

This premium differential also fluctuates in relation to several conditions, including based on the supply of and demand for aluminum in a particular region, associated transportation costs and warehouse financing transactions, which limit the amount of physical aluminum available to consumers and increases the price differential as a result.

New in FY2019

During times of greater volatility in the Midwest Premium, the variability in our cost of goods sold can also increase.

New in FY2019

In addition to impacting the price we pay for the raw materials we purchase, changing premium differentials impact our end consumers as we must either pass on the increased cost to those consumers or experience a decrease in our profit margins as a result of the Midwest Premium differential.

In many of our markets, our primary competitors have greater financial, marketing, production and distribution resources than we do, and may be more diverse in terms of their geographies and brand portfolios.

Dropped from FY2018

Our Coors Light and Miller Lite brands in the U.S., Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Coors Banquet and Carling brands in Canada, and Carling, Staropramen, Jelen, Bergenbier and Coors Light brands in Europe represented approximately half of each respective segment's sales volumes in 2018.

Dropped from FY2018

We may not be able to realize anticipated cost and operational synergies from the Acquisition.

Dropped from FY2018

The success of the Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize anticipated cost and operational synergies.

Dropped from FY2018

Our success in realizing these cost synergies, and the timing of this realization, depends on the successful integration of our business and operations with the acquired business and operations.

Dropped from FY2018

Even if we are able to integrate the acquired businesses and operations successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the cost and operational synergies of the Acquisition that we currently expect within the anticipated time frame, or at all.

Dropped from FY2018

Our debt level, which increased significantly to fund the Acquisition, subjects us to financial and operating risks, and the agreements governing such debt subject us to financial and operating covenants and restrictions.

Dropped from FY2018

Should LIBOR no

Dropped from FY2018

Failure to comply with our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain future financing at competitive rates and/or our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness.

Dropped from FY2018

Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions.

Dropped from FY2018

These include restrictions on priority indebtedness (certain threshold percentages of secured consolidated net tangible assets), leverage thresholds, liens, and restrictions on certain types of sale lease-back transactions and transfers of assets.

Dropped from FY2018

Failure to comply with these restrictions or maintain our credit rating may result in issues with our current financing structure and potential future financing requirements.

Dropped from FY2018

Ratings agencies may downgrade our credit ratings below their current investment grade levels if we are unable to meet our deleveraging commitments.

Dropped from FY2018

Default by or failure of one or more of our counterparty financial institutions could cause us to incur significant losses.

Dropped from FY2018

Dropped from FY2018

billion to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively.

Dropped from FY2018

For example, the results of our annual impairment testing completed as of October 1, 2016, indicated that the fair value of the Molson core brand indefinite-lived intangible asset was below its carrying value.

Dropped from FY2018

Additionally, during this review, we also reassessed the asset’s indefinite-life classification and determined that the Molson core brands have characteristics that have evolved which now indicate a definite-life is more appropriate.

Dropped from FY2018

Additionally, if the on-going integration of the MillerCoors and Miller International Business is unsuccessful due to, for example, unexpected challenges or difficulties, or adverse economic, market or industry conditions, material impairment charges may be incurred in the future.

Dropped from FY2018

Our inability to renew or the loss of one or more of these arrangements, as a result of industry consolidation or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Dropped from FY2018

For example, in 2017, our International segment was adversely impacted by the loss of the Modelo brands in Japan.

Dropped from FY2018

Our business includes various joint venture and industry agreements which standardize parts of the supply chain system.

Dropped from FY2018

We purchase certain types of packaging materials including aluminum cans and bottles, glass bottles and paperboard from a small number of suppliers.

Dropped from FY2018

Risks associated with operating our joint ventures may materially adversely affect our business and financial results.

Dropped from FY2018

We expect our operations in developing and emerging markets to become more significant to our operating results as we continue to further expand internationally, including in connection with our acquisition of the Miller International Business.

Dropped from FY2018

Many countries in which we operate regulate the distribution of alcohol products and if those regulations were changed, it could alter our business practices and have material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Dropped from FY2018

We hold assets and incur liabilities, earn revenues and pay expenses in different currencies, most significantly in Canada and throughout Europe.

Dropped from FY2018

Our business is highly regulated by national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in various jurisdictions regarding such matters as tariffs, licensing requirements, trade and pricing practices, labeling, advertising, promotion and marketing practices, relationships with distributors, environmental matters, ingredient regulations, and other matters.

Dropped from FY2018

We continue to monitor the 2017 Tax Act, including proposed regulations which may change upon finalization, as well as yet to be issued regulations and interpretations.

Dropped from FY2018

If the forthcoming regulations and interpretations change relative to our current understanding and initial assessment of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act, the resulting impacts could have a material adverse impact on our tax rate and cash tax expectations.

Dropped from FY2018

Our business could be interrupted and our financial results could be materially adversely impacted by physical risks such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, terror attacks and other natural disasters or catastrophic events that damage or destroy one of our breweries or key facilities or the key facilities of our significant suppliers.

New in FY2019

A discussion related to the results of operations and changes in financial condition for 2018 compared to 2017 has been omitted from this report, unless significant, but may be found in Part II, Item 7.

New in FY2019

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our fiscal 2018 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2019, which is available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our corporate website at www.molsoncoors.com.

New in FY2019

With centuries of brewing heritage, we craft high-quality, innovative beverages with the purpose of uniting people to celebrate all life’s moments.

New in FY2019

*Revitalization Plan*

New in FY2019

On October 28, 2019, we initiated a revitalization plan designed to allow us to invest across our portfolio to drive long-term, sustainable success.

New in FY2019

As part of this plan, we expect to accelerate investments behind our largest brands, by focusing on recruitment of consumers and by driving relevance with breakthrough marketing and innovating on core brands to attract new legal age drinkers.

New in FY2019

We additionally plan to invest significantly in the above premium segment, the fastest growing area of the beer industry, with added investment in existing brands, new innovations and potentially through new acquisitions.

New in FY2019

We expect to invest more in whitespace and beyond beer opportunities.

New in FY2019

We have had success in the above premium segment, including portfolio transformation in Europe, *Peroni* growth accelerating and *Blue Moon Belgian White* improving in the U.S. and *Belgian Moon* growing in Canada.

New in FY2019

However, our revitalization plan is designed to give us the resources we need to invest in our core brands and build in the above premium segment through innovation and potential acquisition and investments, including more investment behind brands like *Saint Archer Gold*, *Blue Moon Light Sky*, and *Coors Pure* in the U.S. and *Coors Slice* and *Molson Ultra* in Canada.

New in FY2019

We also intend to expand a “test and learn” approach that allows us to determine market potential for products and then quickly scale up as we are with *Movo* wine spritzers, and *Saint Archer Gold*, both expected to be available nationally in the U.S. in 2020.

New in FY2019

We also expect this plan will allow us to invest behind an even stronger second year of *Cape Line* sparkling cocktails and a stronger third year of *Arnold Palmer Spiked* in the U.S. Finally, our pipeline includes the recent introductions of *La Colombe* hard coffee in the U.S., *Pip & Wild* premium ciders in the U.K., and *Vizzy* hard seltzer in the U.S., which we plan to launch early in 2020, and Truss’s expected new line of cannabis-infused non-alcoholic beverages in Canada, subject to and after all of its licenses and regulatory clearances have been obtained, including the recently announced *Flow Glow*, a CBD-infused spring water.

New in FY2019

We also expect to put a greater focus on bringing new beverages to the market faster and with more precision.

New in FY2019

This includes expanding the model that has reduced the time it takes to bring innovations to market from 18 months to as little as four months in the U.S., and expanding our previously mentioned “test and learn” approach that evaluates market potential for products and then quickly scales up.

New in FY2019

As part of the revitalization plan, we also intend to invest in improving our digital competencies, expanding data resources and building out innovation systems.

New in FY2019

To make these new investments possible, we plan to unlock approximately $150 million in annual savings, increasing our 2020-2022 cost savings program from $450 million to $600 million, by simplifying our structure.

New in FY2019

We also made the determination to establish Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, close our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidate certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations.

New in FY2019

Effective January 2020, we moved from a corporate center and four business units to two business units - North America and Europe.

New in FY2019

The North America business unit consolidates the United States, Canada and corporate center, enabling us to move more quickly with an integrated portfolio strategy.

New in FY2019

The Europe business unit allows for standalone operations, developed and supported by a European-based team, including a local leadership, commercial, supply chain and support functions.

New in FY2019

The existing International team was reconstituted to more effectively grow our global brands - with the Africa and Asia Pacific businesses reporting into the European business unit and the remaining International business reporting into the North America business unit.

New in FY2019

The change in structure to two business units and the resulting financial reporting segment changes will not be reflected until our first quarter 2020 results.

New in FY2019

In connection with these consolidation activities, certain impacted employees have been extended an opportunity to continue their employment with the Company in the new organization and locations and, for those not continuing with the Company, certain of such employees have been asked to provide transition assistance and offered severance and retention packages in connection with their termination of service.

New in FY2019

After taking into account all changes in each of the business units, including Europe, the plan is expected to reduce employment levels, in aggregate, by approximately 500 to 600 employees globally.

New in FY2019

The company expects the costs associated with the restructuring to be substantially recognized by the end of fiscal year 2021.

New in FY2019

Further, we currently expect to incur certain cash and non-cash restructuring charges related to employee relocation, severance, retention and transition costs, non-cash asset related costs, lease exit costs in connection with our office lease in Denver, Colorado, and other transition activities estimated in the range of approximately $120 million to $180 million in the aggregate, the majority of which will be cash charges that we began recognizing in the fourth quarter of 2019, and will be further spread through the balance of fiscal years 2020 and 2021.

New in FY2019

In 2019, we recognized aggregate impairment losses of $2.1 million related to the closure of the Denver, Colorado office facility.

New in FY2019

Additionally, in 2019 we recognized severance and retention charges of $41.2 million, of which, approximately $40 million remained accrued as of December 31, 2019.

New in FY2019

We recognized these charges as special items within our consolidated statements of operations.

New in FY2019

Actual severance and retention costs related to this restructuring, which are primarily being recognized ratably over the employees’ required future service period, may differ from original estimates based on actual employee turnover levels prior to achieving severance and retention eligibility requirements.

New in FY2019

Employee relocation charges are recognized in the period incurred and were immaterial in 2019.

New in FY2019

We also changed our name to Molson Coors Beverage Company in January 2020 in order to better reflect our strategic intent to expand beyond beer and into other growth adjacencies.

New in FY2019

In addition to the revitalization plan, we intend to continue our ongoing efforts to modernize our brewery footprint and invest several hundred million dollars to modernize our brewery in Golden, Colorado over the next several years.

New in FY2019

These previously planned brewery investments are intended to allow for more flexible capacity to better meet demand and fulfill future growth opportunities, while increasing supply chain efficiency.

New in FY2019

| • | In 2019, net income attributable to MCBC decreased 78.4% compared to the prior year primarily driven by the impact of aggregate goodwill and intangible asset impairment losses of $691.9 million, primarily related to our Canada reporting unit. The decrease was also due to lower volume, inflation, restructuring charges and pension and postretirement benefit charges, partially offset by positive global pricing, cost savings, lower incentive compensation, as well as lower interest expense. |

New in FY2019

| • | During 2019, we repaid our EUR 500 million variable rate notes, $500 million 1.90% notes, and $500 million 1.45% notes upon their respective maturities throughout the year as part of our deleveraging commitment. |

New in FY2019

| • | In our Canada segment, we reported a loss before income taxes of $508.7 million in 2019, versus income of $157.0 million in 2018, primarily driven by the $668.3 million goodwill impairment loss recognized in the third quarter of 2019 as well as the gross profit impacts of volume declines, higher cost of goods sold per hectoliter, Truss joint venture start-up costs, partially offset by positive pricing and lower incentive compensation. See Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, [Note 10, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”](#s5FAC4A14735651B1BD9DB32AFBB82598) for additional details. |

New in FY2019

| • | In our Europe segment, income before income taxes decreased 14.1% to $160.1 million in 2019, versus $186.4 million in 2018, primarily related to increased brand investments, unfavorable foreign currency movements, special charges mainly due to restructuring activities, as well as soft industry demand and inflation, partially offset by positive net pricing and mix and lower incentive compensation. |

New in FY2019

| • | *Staropramen* global brand volume, including royalty volume, increased 7.2% during 2019 versus 2018, driven by higher volumes in all major markets for the brand. |

New in FY2019

Our worldwide brand volume decreased in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily due to lower volume in all segments primarily driven by challenging industry dynamics.

Dropped from FY2018

We have restated our financial statements for 2017 and 2016 due to the correction of errors in the accounting for income taxes related to the deferred tax liabilities for our partnership in MillerCoors.

Dropped from FY2018

Accordingly, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth below reflect the effects of the restatements.

Dropped from FY2018

For 2016, the consolidated statement of operations includes MillerCoors' results of operations for the period from January 1, 2016, to October 10, 2016, on an equity method basis of accounting and from October 11, 2016, to December 31, 2016, on a consolidated basis of accounting.

Dropped from FY2018

Where indicated, we have reflected unaudited pro forma financial information for 2016 which gives effect to the Acquisition and the related financing as if they were completed on January 1, 2016, the first day of the Company’s 2016 fiscal year.

Dropped from FY2018

Acquisition

Dropped from FY2018

On October 11, 2016, we completed the acquisition of SABMiller plc's ("SABMiller") 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the "Miller International Business," as defined in the purchase agreement, outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico (the "Acquisition") from Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV ("ABI").

Dropped from FY2018

The Acquisition was completed for $12.0 billion in cash, subject to a downward purchase price adjustment as described in the purchase agreement.

Dropped from FY2018

This purchase price "Adjustment Amount," as defined in the purchase agreement, required payment to MCBC if the unaudited EBITDA for the Miller International Business for the twelve months prior to closing was below $70 million.

Dropped from FY2018

On January 21, 2018, MCBC and ABI entered into a settlement agreement related to the purchase price adjustment under the purchase agreement, and on January 26, 2018, pursuant to the settlement agreement, ABI paid to MCBC $330.0 million, of which $328.0 million constitutes the Adjustment Amount.

Dropped from FY2018

As this settlement occurred following the finalization of purchase accounting, we recorded the settlement proceeds related to the Adjustment Amount as a gain within special items, net in our consolidated statement of operations in our Corporate segment and within cash provided by operating activities within our consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Dropped from FY2018

MCBC and ABI also agreed to certain mutual releases as further described in the settlement agreement.

Dropped from FY2018

With centuries of brewing heritage, we have been crafting high-quality, innovative products with the purpose of delighting the world's beer drinkers and with the ambition to be the first choice for our consumers and customers.

Dropped from FY2018

In 2018, we continued to focus on building our brand strength and transforming our portfolio toward the above premium, flavored malt beverage, craft and cider segments.

Dropped from FY2018

Further, we continued to focus on generating higher returns on our invested capital, managing our working capital and delivering a greater return on investment for our shareholders.

Dropped from FY2018

This guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective approach, and therefore, prior period results have not been restated.

Dropped from FY2018

The following table highlights the impact of this new guidance on summarized components of our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, when comparing our current period results of operations under the new guidance, versus our results of operations if historical guidance had continued to be applied.

Dropped from FY2018

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the FASB's new accounting pronouncement related to the classification of pension and other postretirement benefit costs.

Dropped from FY2018

Specifically, the new guidance requires us to report only the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period; while the other components of net benefit cost are now presented in the consolidated statements of operations separately from the service cost component and outside of operating income.

Dropped from FY2018

The amendments in this update also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable.

Dropped from FY2018

We have also determined that only service cost will be reported within each operating segment and all other components will be reported within the Corporate segment.

Dropped from FY2018

The guidance related to the income statement presentation of service costs and other pension and postretirement benefit costs is applied retrospectively, while the capitalization of service costs component is applied prospectively.

Dropped from FY2018

This adjustment is classification only and had no impact to our consolidated net income.

Dropped from FY2018

See [Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements](#s9445C975649B50FBA022CDEC7747D271)" for further details including updated historical financial information.

Dropped from FY2018

We have presented unaudited pro forma financial information to enhance comparability of financial information between periods.

Dropped from FY2018

The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of MCBC and MillerCoors, both prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and gives effect to the Acquisition and the completed financing as if they were completed on January 1, 2016.

Dropped from FY2018

Pro forma adjustments are based on items that are factually supportable, are directly attributable to the Acquisition or the related financing, and are expected to have a continuing impact on MCBC's results of operations.

Dropped from FY2018

Any non-recurring items directly attributable to the Acquisition or the related financing are excluded in the unaudited pro forma statements of operations.

Dropped from FY2018

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include adjustments for costs related to integration activities following the completion of the Acquisition, cost savings or synergies that have been or

Revitalization Plan

New in FY2019

On October 28, 2019, we initiated a revitalization plan designed to allow us to invest across our portfolio to drive long-term, sustainable success.

New in FY2019

As part of our revitalization plan, we made the determination to establish Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, close our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidate certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations.

New in FY2019

Effective January 2020, we moved from a corporate center and four business units to two business units - North America and Europe.

New in FY2019

The North America business unit consolidates the United States, Canada and corporate center, enabling us to move more quickly with an integrated portfolio strategy.

New in FY2019

The Europe business unit allows for standalone operations, developed and supported by a European-based team, including local leadership, commercial, supply chain and support functions.

New in FY2019

The existing International team was reconstituted to more effectively grow our global brands - with the Africa and Asia Pacific businesses reporting into the European business unit and the remaining International business reporting into the North America business unit.

New in FY2019

The change in structure to two business units and the resulting financial reporting segment changes will not be reflected until our first quarter 2020 results.

New in FY2019

We also changed our name from Molson Coors Brewing Company to Molson Coors Beverage Company, in January 2020 in order, to better reflect our strategic intent to expand beyond beer and into other growth adjacencies in the beverage industry.

Acquisition

Dropped from FY2018

On October 11, 2016, we completed the acquisition of SABMiller plc's ("SABMiller") 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the "Miller International Business," as defined in the purchase agreement, outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico (the "Acquisition") from Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV ("ABI").

Dropped from FY2018

The Acquisition was completed for $12.0 billion in cash, subject to a downward adjustment as described in the purchase agreement.

Dropped from FY2018

This purchase price "Adjustment Amount," as defined in the purchase agreement, required payment to MCBC if the unaudited EBITDA for the Miller International Business for the twelve months prior to closing was below $70 million.

Dropped from FY2018

Under the purchase agreement, we retained the rights to all of the brands in the MillerCoors portfolio at the time of the Acquisition for the U.S. and Puerto Rican markets, including import brands such as Peroni and Pilsner Urquell, as well as obtained full ownership of the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Dropped from FY2018

Additionally, in consolidating control of MillerCoors, we expect we will further improve our scale and agility, benefit from significantly enhanced cash flows from operations, and capture substantial operational synergies.

Critical Audit Matters

New in FY2019

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

New in FY2019

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

New in FY2019

*Goodwill Impairment Assessments for the Europe and Canada Reporting Units*

New in FY2019

As described in Notes 1 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s balance related to goodwill in the Europe and Canada reporting units as of December 31, 2019 is $1,484.8 million and $218.1 million, respectively.

New in FY2019

The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or when an interim triggering event occurs that would indicate that impairment may have taken place.

New in FY2019

The Company’s annual impairment tests are performed as of the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter; however management identified a triggering event requiring an interim impairment assessment of the goodwill within the Canada reporting unit at the end of the third quarter of 2019, which resulted in a goodwill impairment loss of $668.3 million.

New in FY2019

As disclosed by management, a combination of discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches are used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit.

New in FY2019

Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of management’s reporting units may include such items as (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume and increase in costs that could significantly impact management’s immediate and long-range results, (ii) prolonged weakening of economic conditions, or (iii) significant unfavorable changes in tax, environmental or other regulations, including interpretations thereof, terminal growth rates, market multiples and / or weighted average cost of capital utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses.

New in FY2019

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessments for the Europe and Canada reporting units is a critical audit matter are as follows.

New in FY2019

There was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurements.

New in FY2019

This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing our procedures to evaluate the fair value estimates of the goodwill and the significant assumptions, including the revenue growth rates and terminal growth rate for the Europe reporting unit and the discount rate, revenue growth rates, market multiples and terminal growth rate for the Canada reporting unit.

New in FY2019

In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

New in FY2019

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

New in FY2019

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments for the Europe and Canada reporting units, including controls over the valuation.

New in FY2019

These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for determining the fair value of goodwill for the Europe and Canada reporting units, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches, (iii) testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches, and (iv) evaluating the significant assumptions used by management including the revenue growth rates and terminal growth rate for the Europe reporting unit and the discount rate, revenue growth rates, market multiples and terminal growth rate for the Canada reporting unit.

New in FY2019

Evaluating the assumptions related to revenue growth rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable considering (i) the Company’s current and past performance, (ii) the consistency with third party industry and economic data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

New in FY2019

Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches and the reasonableness of certain significant assumptions, including the terminal growth rate for the Europe reporting unit and the discount rate, market multiples and terminal growth rate for the Canada reporting unit.

New in FY2019

*Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Assessment for the Coors Light Brand Distribution Rights (Canada)*

New in FY2019

As described in Notes 1 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s balance related to indefinite-lived intangible assets of distribution networks as of December 31, 2019 is $778.8 million, inclusive of the *Coors Light* brand distribution rights in Canada.

New in FY2019

The carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is evaluated for impairment at least annually or when an interim triggering event occurs that would indicate that impairment may have taken place.

New in FY2019

The Company’s annual impairment test is performed as of the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter.

New in FY2019

As disclosed by management, an excess earnings approach is used to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.

New in FY2019

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors.

New in FY2019

Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of management’s indefinite-lived intangible may include items such as (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume and increase in costs that could significantly impact management’s immediate and long-range results, (ii) prolonged weakening of economic conditions, or (iii) significant unfavorable changes in tax, environmental or other regulations, including interpretations thereof, terminal growth rates, and / or weighted average cost of capital utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses.

New in FY2019

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment for the *Coors Light* brand distribution rights in Canada is a critical audit matter are as follows.

New in FY2019

There was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement.

New in FY2019

This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing our procedures to evaluate the fair value estimate of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and the significant assumptions, including the discount rate and terminal growth rate.

New in FY2019

In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

A material weakness, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Dropped from FY2018

As part of preparing our 2018 consolidated financial statements, we identified errors in the accounting for income taxes related to the deferred tax liabilities for our partnership in MillerCoors.

Dropped from FY2018

Following the Acquisition in 2016, MillerCoors continued as a partnership for tax purposes until 2018, at which point the partnership was dissolved.

Dropped from FY2018

Upon the dissolution of the MillerCoors partnership, we changed our outside basis deferred tax liability for our investment in the partnership to separate deferred tax positions for each of the individual book-tax basis differences in the underlying assets and liabilities of MillerCoors.

Dropped from FY2018

In doing so, we identified a difference between the deferred tax liabilities recorded and the deferred tax liabilities required.

Dropped from FY2018

As a result, we concluded that the deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax expense associated with our remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in MillerCoors was incorrectly calculated upon close of the Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Dropped from FY2018

Specifically, upon closing of the Acquisition and completion of the related deferred income tax calculations, we did not reconcile the outside basis deferred income tax liability for the investment in the partnership to the book-tax difference in the underlying assets and liabilities within the partnership.

Dropped from FY2018

As part of our annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we have determined that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.

Dropped from FY2018

A material weakness existed in that we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of the accounting for, and disclosure of, the income tax effects of acquired partnership interests.

Dropped from FY2018

Specifically, we did not design appropriate controls to identify and reconcile deferred income taxes associated with the accounting for acquired partnership interests.

Dropped from FY2018

This material weakness resulted in material errors in connection with our step acquisition of MillerCoors that were corrected through the restatement of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, as described in [Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"](#sB11811A494A55A06924D81AC36186725) to the consolidated financial statements and the correction of the unaudited quarterly financial information for fiscal years 2018 and 2017.

Dropped from FY2018

Additionally, this material weakness could result in misstatements to the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Dropped from FY2018

As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.

Dropped from FY2018

Management's Plan for Remediation of the Material Weakness

Dropped from FY2018

In response to the material weakness described above, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, management is currently evaluating our policies and procedures related to the accounting for income taxes and plans to design and implement adequate internal controls to ensure that (i) the income tax effects of acquired partnership interests are properly accounted for and disclosed in the period of acquisition, and (ii) the resulting investment in partnership deferred income tax assets and liabilities are assessed and reconciled periodically to the book-tax differences in the underlying assets and liabilities within the partnership to determine whether any adjustment is necessary.

Dropped from FY2018

The remediation efforts are intended both to address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment.

Dropped from FY2018

Management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
