NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "we," "us" or "our" includes Molson Coors Beverage Company ("MCBC" or the "Company"), principally a holding company, and its operating and non-operating subsidiaries included within its reporting segments.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, except as noted in Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements".
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any other future period.
Anti-Dilutive Securities
Anti-dilutive securities from share-based awards excluded from the computation of diluted EPS were 2.3 million and 1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Shareholders of exchangeable shares received the CAD equivalent of dividends declared on Class A and Class B common stock, equal to CAD 0.67 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, dividends declared to eligible shareholders were $0.44 per share, with the CAD equivalent equal to CAD 0.59 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
The following table presents the shares repurchased and aggregate cost, including brokerage commissions and excise taxes incurred, under our current share repurchase program for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shares repurchased | 1,036,630 | 1,760,115 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Aggregate cost (In millions) | $ | 59.9 | $ | 111.2 |
Non-Cash Activity
Non-cash investing activities includes movements in our guarantee of indebtedness of certain equity method investments. See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion. We also had other non-cash investing activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $193.9 million and $182.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, we had non-cash financing activities related to certain issuances of share-based awards.
Other than the activity mentioned above and the supplemental non-cash activity related to the recognition of leases discussed in Note 6, "Leases", there was no other significant non-cash investing or financing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we granted stock options, RSUs and PSUs to certain officers and other eligible employees. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $11.9 million and $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables was $9.5 million and $8.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Supplier Financing
We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. with $142.2 million and $145.1 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Certain of our noncontrolling interests have redemption features that are outside of our control, such as those subject to put options exercisable at a future date. We account for these as redeemable noncontrolling interests and present the balances outside of stockholders' equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. There was no material activity related to redeemable noncontrolling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Fevertree Transactions
Effective February 1, 2025, we obtained exclusive rights via a license agreement to produce, market and sell Fever-Tree products in the U.S. In connection with this agreement, we acquired the shares of the Fevertree USA, Inc. entity, with the immaterial acquisition accounted for as a business combination and consideration allocated primarily to working capital balances. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond the beer aisle.
Further, we made an investment of $88.1 million in Fevertree Drinks plc, a listed entity on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:FEVR). See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion of our investment in Fevertree Drinks plc.
Subsequent Events
On April 12, 2025, Gavin D.K. Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of the Board, informed the Company and the Board that he intends to retire from the Company and as a member of the Board, in each case, by December 31, 2025.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, aimed at enhancing transparency in income statement disclosures by requiring entities to disclose additional disaggregated information about significant expenses included in our results of operations. This guidance will be effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2027 and the subsequent interim periods, with prospective or retrospective application allowed and early adoption permitted. We are still assessing the impact of the ASU, including the timing and method of adoption, however, we expect the guidance to impact disclosures only and not to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025. We have the option to apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively and we are still considering which method to apply. When adopted, we expect the guidance to have an impact on disclosures only and to not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Investments
Consolidated VIE Investments
Our consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2025, were Rocky Mountain Metal Container ("RMMC") and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company ("RMBC"). The following summarizes the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs (including noncontrolling interests and excluding goodwill):
| As of | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total Assets | Total Liabilities | Total Assets | Total Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| RMMC/RMBC | $ | 250.0 | $ | 22.6 | $ | 230.3 | $ | 29.8 | |||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2025, for RMMC/RMBC, $82.5 million and $112.5 million were recorded in inventories, net and property, plant and equipment, net, respectively on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, for RMMC/RMBC, $64.0 million and $113.6 million were recorded in inventories, net and property, plant and equipment, net, respectively on the consolidated balance sheets.
We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide.
Equity Method Investments
Our equity method investments include our ownership interests in Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI"), Brewers Distributor Ltd. ("BDL") and The Yuengling Company LLC, as well as other immaterial investments. The total balance of our equity method investments was $94.0 million and $108.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our equity method investments are all within the Americas segment and are presented within other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts due to and due from our equity method investments are recorded as affiliate accounts payable and affiliate accounts receivable which are presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities and trade receivables, net, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Both BRI and BDL have third party debt which is guaranteed by their respective shareholders. As a result, we had a guarantee liability of $10.7 million and $30.1 million recorded as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of these debt instruments. The offset to the guarantee liability is our respective equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting change in our equity method investments during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.
ASC 321 Investment
On January 29, 2025, Molson Coors Beverage Company made an investment of $88.1 million in Fevertree Drinks plc, a listed entity on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:FEVR). We hold a minority interest in the entity and account for the investment under ASC 321. As of March 31, 2025, the investment was recorded at a fair value of $113.8 million calculated based on a quoted market price on the London Stock Exchange (Level 1 inputs) in other assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(1)Accumulated impairment losses for the Americas segment was $1,513.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The EMEA&APAC goodwill balance was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2020 with an accumulated impairment loss of $1,484.3 million.
As of the date of our annual impairment test performed as of October 1, 2024, the fair value of the Americas reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value by less than 15% and as such, the reporting unit continues to be at heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions. We continue to focus on growing our core power brand net sales, aggressively premiumizing our portfolio and scaling and expanding beyond beer. While progress has been made on these strategies over recent years, including the strengthening of our core brands, the growth targets included in management’s forecasted future cash flows are inherently at risk given that the strategies are still in progress. Additionally, the fair value determinations are sensitive to changes in the beer industry environment, broader macroeconomic conditions and market multiples or discount rates that could negatively impact future analyses, including the impacts of cost inflation or tariffs, increases to interest rates and other external industry factors impacting our business.
We determined that there was no triggering event that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that would indicate the carrying value of our Americas reporting unit was greater than its fair value.

The increase in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangible assets, other than goodwill, are denominated in foreign currencies.
Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2025, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets was as follows.
| Fiscal year | Amount | |||||||
| (In millions) | ||||||||
| 2025 - remaining | $ | 153.2 | ||||||
| 2026 | 187.7 | |||||||
| 2027 | 128.6 | |||||||
| 2028 | 127.2 | |||||||
| 2029 | 127.1 |
Amortization expense of intangible assets was $51.1 million and $52.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. This expense is presented within MG&A expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the Coors brands in the Americas (inclusive of our Coors brand in the U.S. and Coors distribution agreement in Canada), the Miller brands in the U.S. and the Carling and Staropramen brands in EMEA&APAC all exceeded their respective carrying values by over 15% as of the October 1, 2024, annual testing date.
No triggering events were identified during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that would indicate the carrying values of our indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets were greater than their fair values.
Fair Value Assumptions
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. The key assumptions used to derive the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets are discussed in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in our Annual Report and represent Level 3 measurements.

(1)Our short-term borrowings include bank overdrafts, borrowings on our overdraft facilities and other items.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $64.5 million in bank overdrafts and $95.6 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $31.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had $13.0 million in bank overdrafts and $59.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $46.0 million.
In addition, we have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities under which we had no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion related to letters of credit.
Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations using observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $5.8 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
We maintain a $2.0 billion amended and restated revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 26, 2029, that allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in commercial paper or make other borrowings at any time at variable interest rates. We use this facility from time to time to fund the repayment of debt upon maturity and for working capital or general purposes.
We had no borrowings drawn on the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Debt Covenants
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets, and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
Under the amended and restated $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, calculated as net debt to EBITDA (as defined in the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement) of 4.00x, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and covenants, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of March 31, 2025, rank pari-passu.
8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As noted in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report, due to the nature of our counterparty agreements, and the fact that we are not subject to master netting arrangements, we are not able to net positions with the same counterparty and, therefore, present our derivative positions on a gross basis in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Except as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since December 31, 2024.
Derivative Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as our own non-performance risk, as appropriate.
The table below summarizes our derivative assets (liabilities) that were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value for all derivative contracts as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were valued using significant other observable inputs, which are Level 2 inputs.

(1)The cumulative translation adjustments related to our net investment hedges remain in AOCI until the respective underlying net investment is sold or liquidated. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we did not reclassify any amounts related to net investment hedges from AOCI into earnings whether due to ineffectiveness, a sale or liquidation.
As of March 31, 2025, we expect pretax net gains of approximately $5 million recorded in AOCI that will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. For derivatives designated in cash flow hedge relationships, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged as of March 31, 2025 was approximately 3 years.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was flat compared to prior year.
Our effective tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Disputes and Environmental
Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have an aggregate accrued contingent liability of $9.8 million and $71.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for litigation, other disputes and environmental matters in which we are currently involved, based on review with legal counsel, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. For all matters unless otherwise noted below, we believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Our litigation, other disputes and environmental issues are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and any updates for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are discussed below.
On February 12, 2018, Stone Brewing Company filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of California against Molson Coors Beverage Company USA LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, alleging that the Keystone brand had "rebranded" itself as "Stone" and was marketing itself in a manner confusingly similar to Stone Brewing Company's registered Stone trademark. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a recorded accrued liability within accounts payable and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets reflecting the best estimate of probable loss in this case based on the judgment plus associated post-judgment interest. On January 29, 2025, the Company paid $60.6 million in final resolution of this matter.
Regulatory Contingencies
An Early Implementation Agreement ("EIA") was entered into on May 23, 2024, between the Province of Ontario and Molson Canada 2005, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of our Company, Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Sleeman Breweries Ltd. (collectively, the "Representative Owners") and BRI, operating under the name The Beer Store ("TBS") concerning the intended features of the future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario. The EIA was effective July 18, 2024, with provisions continuing until December 31, 2030, except certain provisions which end December 31, 2025. TBS shall remain the primary distributor of beer to all retailers from the commencement date of the EIA to the end of the agreement, December 31, 2030.
The Province of Ontario will provide financial support to TBS and the Representative Owners of up to CAD 225 million through reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the early implementation and to TBS in connection with the operation of the agreed upon retail footprint through December 31, 2025. The EIA requires TBS to maintain at least 386 retail locations in Ontario to support recycling, cash and carry and to preserve employment through June 30, 2025. Subsequently, TBS has the right to close retail locations to reduce the number of retail locations to a minimum of 300 by December 31, 2025. From January 1, 2026, onward, TBS will have full discretion to maintain an adequate number of retail locations determined by TBS in its sole and absolute discretion. Due to the anticipated increased competition from grocery stores and convenience stores, TBS anticipates closing stores during the year ended December 31, 2025, in line with the allowable reduction under the EIA with future closures dependent on the evolution of the expanded retail marketplace. We continue to evaluate the impacts of the EIA and the expected future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario on our results of operations.
Guarantees and Indemnities
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include liabilities related to these guarantees of $15.0 million and $34.2 million, respectively.
Separately, our Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") indemnities are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred incremental accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation of $17.9 million. Restructuring charges related to these actions are substantially complete and any remaining future charges are expected to be immaterial.
13. Segment Reporting
Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate and include the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments. Our Americas segment operates in the U.S., Canada and various countries in Latin America and our EMEA&APAC segment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries and certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
We also have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as Unallocated below. Specifically, Unallocated primarily includes certain financing-related activities such as interest expense and interest income as well as foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances. Unallocated activity also includes the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment meanwhile all other components remain in Unallocated.
Summarized Financial Information
Net sales from transactions with a single customer in our Americas segment represented approximately $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion of our consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Consolidated net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting net sales and income (loss) before income taxes eliminate upon consolidation and are primarily related to the Americas segment royalties received from and sales to the EMEA&APAC segment.
The following tables present net sales and other activity by segment to arrive at income (loss) before income taxes as well as a reconciliation of amounts shown as income (loss) before income taxes to net income (loss) attributable to MCBC:
