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, 2015, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $105.9 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2015, we would have had sufficient availability under our available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

Results of period derivative activity –

4.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements for financial instruments. This guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. It establishes 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 interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset and 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.

The methods and assumptions we use to estimate the fair value for each class of our financial instruments are presented in Notes 1 and 7 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2015. The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable to banks, approximate fair value as of August 31, 2015, and February 28, 2015, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of August 31, 2015, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7,394.3 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $7,196.7 million. As of February 28, 2015, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7,295.6 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $7,378.6 million.

Our foreign currency contracts consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts which are valued using market-based inputs, obtained from independent pricing services, into valuation models. These valuation models require various inputs, including contractual terms, market foreign exchange prices, interest-rate yield curves and currency volatilities. Commodity derivative fair values are based on quotes from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using market data. Interest rate swap fair values are based on quotes from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yield curves, which are obtained from independent pricing services. AFS debt securities are valued using market-based inputs into discounted cash flow models.

Senior credit facility –
On July 16, 2015, the Company, CIH International S.à r.l., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (“CIH” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain lenders (all such parties other than either of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent are collectively referred to as the “Lenders”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to our then-existing senior credit facility (as amended, the “2015 Credit Agreement”). The Amendment was entered into primarily for (i)  the creation of a new $1.27 billion U.S. Term A loan facility into which the existing U.S. Term A and Term A-2 loan facilities have been combined and increased by $200.0 million, (ii)  the refinance of the existing U.S. Term A-1 loan facility and extension of its maturity to July 16, 2021, (iii)  the creation of a new $1.43 billion European Term A loan facility into which the existing European Term A and Term B-1 loan facilities have been combined, (iv)  the extension of the maturity date of all tranches, other than the new U.S. Term A-1 loan facility, to July 16, 2020, and (v)  the increase of the revolving credit facility by $300.0 million to $1.15 billion. The 2015 Credit Agreement was used to refinance the outstanding obligations under our then-existing senior credit facility, with the incremental $200.0 million of borrowings under the new U.S. Term A loan facility used to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Meiomi.

The Amendment also modified certain of our financial and other covenants, and provides for the automatic revision of certain covenants (including financial covenants) and the suspension of the Incremental Cap (as defined below) and the collateral requirements under the 2015 Credit Agreement if we receive an Investment Grade Rating (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement) on our corporate ratings from each of S&P and Moody’s, and no default or event of default has occurred or is continuing (a “Covenant Suspension Period”). A Covenant Suspension Period will continue until such time as any of our corporate ratings cease to be an Investment Grade Rating.

Contractual interest rate varies based on our debt ratio (as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement) and is a function of LIBOR plus a margin, or the base rate plus a margin.
(2) 
Provides for credit facilities consisting of a $575.0 million U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and a $575.0 million European Revolving Credit Facility. Includes two sub-facilities for letters of credit of up to $200.0 million in the aggregate. We are the borrower under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and we and/or CIH are the borrowers under the European Revolving Credit Facility.
(3) 
We are the borrower under the U.S. Term A and the U.S. Term A-1 loan facilities. CIH is the borrower under the European Term A loan facility.

The 2015 Credit Agreement also permits us to elect to increase the revolving credit commitments under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility or add one or more tranches of additional term loans, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase or term loans and other customary conditions. The minimum aggregate principal amount of such incremental revolving credit commitment increases or additional term loans may be no less than $25.0 million. The maximum aggregate principal amount of all such incremental revolving credit commitment increases and additional term loans, other than term loans the proceeds of which are applied to repay existing term loans, may be no more than $750.0 million (the “Incremental Cap”), except during a Covenant Suspension Period, during which time the Incremental Cap would be an unlimited amount.

Accounts receivable securitization facilities –
On September 29, 2014, we entered into an amended 364-day revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “CBI Facility”). Under the CBI Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by us and certain of our subsidiaries are sold by us to a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary (the “CBI SPV”), which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. The CBI Facility provides borrowing capacity of $190.0 million up to $290.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of our business, subject to further limitations based upon various pre-agreed formulas.

Also, on September 29, 2014, Crown Imports entered into a 364-day revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Crown Facility”). Under the Crown Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by Crown Imports are sold by Crown Imports to its wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary (the “Crown SPV”), which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. The Crown Facility provides borrowing capacity of $100.0 million up to $160.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of Crown Imports’ business.

As of August 31, 2015, our accounts receivable securitization facilities are as follows:

On September 28, 2015, our existing accounts receivable securitization facilities were amended, resulting in the extension of each facility for an additional 364-day term. In addition, the newly amended CBI Facility provides borrowing capacity of $235.0 million up to $330.0 million and the newly amended Crown Facility provides borrowing capacity of $100.0 million up to $190.0 million. The remaining provisions of the amended facilities are substantially identical in all material respects to the prior facilities.

8.    INCOME TAXES:

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2015, and August 31, 2014, was 27.6% and 32.4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2015, and August 31, 2014, was 24.2% and 32.2%, respectively.

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2015, our effective tax rates were lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a decrease in uncertain tax positions and lower effective tax rates

Table of Contents

applicable to our foreign businesses. Our effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2014, were lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concluded its review of our fiscal years ended February 29, 2010, and February 28, 2011. We received a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) from the IRS proposing tax assessments for those years. We disagree with certain assessments in this report and have submitted a written protest stating our formal disagreement with the conclusions presented in the RAR. We believe that our position will be successfully sustained. For other items that were effectively settled, we reduced our liability for uncertain tax positions and recorded a tax benefit of $31.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2015.

9.    NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI:

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2015, and August 31, 2014, net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock has been computed using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock as this method is more dilutive than the two-class method. For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2015, and August 31, 2014, net income per common share – diluted for Class B Convertible Common Stock has been computed using the two-class method and does not assume conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Subsidiary Guarantors are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the parent company and the guarantees are joint and several obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

These customary circumstances include, so long as other applicable provisions of the indentures are adhered to, the termination or release of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of other indebtedness or upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of our senior notes. Separate financial statements for our Subsidiary Guarantors are not
