(2) Three months ended November 30, 2019, includes an adjustment to remove volume associated with the Ballast Point craft beer business “Ballast Point Divestiture” for the period September 1, 2019, through November 30, 2019.

(3) Three months ended November 30, 2019, includes $20.2 million of net sales and $3.2 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the beer segment results after the Ballast Point Divestiture.

HIGHLIGHTS

•Constellation’s Beer Business posted double-digit depletion growth of 12%, as inventory levels improve and strong performance in off-premise channels continues to more than offset the COVID-19 impact of the approximately 35% reduction in the on-premise channel.

•Modelo Especial achieved nearly 20% depletion growth and was the #1 Import share gainer in IRI channels.

•The Corona Brand Family grew nearly 12% in IRI channels driven by Corona Premier, delivering over 20% growth, Corona Extra, and Corona Hard Seltzer.

•Corona Hard Seltzer continues to exceed expectations as velocity and distribution of nearly 70% ACV in IRI channels remain strong; hard seltzer innovation expected to launch in early fiscal 2022 with the introduction of Variety Pack #2.

•Pacifico posted growth of almost 35% in IRI channels, and was a top share gainer within the import segment.

•Operating margin increased 330 basis points to 42.6%, as benefits from favorable marketing and SG&A as a percent of net sales and the Ballast Point Divestiture were partially offset by increased COGS.

•Shipment volumes significantly outpaced depletion volumes as product inventories begin to rebuild from a COVID-related slowdown of Mexican beer production earlier this year. Due to continued robust consumer demand, product inventories are now expected to return to normal levels during the fourth quarter fiscal 2021 as shipment volume is expected to continue to outpace depletion volume for the remainder of the fiscal year. •The Beer Business is targeting 7 - 9% net sales growth and 8 - 10% operating income growth for fiscal 2021.

(4) Three months ended November 30, 2019, includes an adjustment to remove volume associated with the Black Velvet Canadian Whisky business “Black Velvet Divestiture” for the period September 1, 2019, through October 31, 2019.

(5) Three months ended November 30, 2019, includes $13.4 million of net sales and $7.0 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the wine and spirits segment results after the Black Velvet Divestiture.

HIGHLIGHTS

•Marketplace performance for higher-end wine Power Brands outpaced the total higher-end wine category driven by double-digit growth for Kim Crawford, Meiomi, and The Prisoner Brand Family.

•Successful innovation initiatives are contributing to top-line growth with Power Brand introductions like The Prisoner cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay varietals, along with Meiomi cabernet sauvignon, which has become the largest ultra premium wine launch this year in IRI channels.

•Operating margin decreased 220 basis points to 24.0% as benefits from mix and price were more than offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption resulting from wildfires and increased marketing.

•The Wine and Spirits business expects fiscal 2021 reported net sales and operating income decline of 9 - 11% and 16 - 18%, respectively; retained portfolio post wine and spirits divestitures expected to grow net sales 2 - 4%.

OUTLOOK

The table sets forth management's current EPS expectations for fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020 actual results, both on a reported basis, a comparable basis, and a comparable basis excluding Canopy equity (losses) and related activities.

Comparable Basis

FY21 Estimate

Fiscal Year Ending February 28/29

$10.30 - $10.55

$(0.07)

$9.80 - $10.05

$9.12

$9.89

Fiscal 2021 Current Guidance Assumptions:

● Beer: net sales growth of 7 - 9%; excluding impact of Ballast Point Divestiture, expect to be at the upper-end of the range and including Ballast Point Divestiture, expect to be at the lower-end of the range; operating income growth of 8 - 10% ● Wine and Spirits: reported net sales and operating income decline of 9 - 11% and 16 - 18%, respectively; retained portfolio post wine and spirits divestitures, expected to grow net sales 2 - 4% ● Interest expense: approximately $390 million

● Tax rate: reported approximately 21%, comparable excluding Canopy equity earnings impact approximately 19% ● Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 195 million; assumes no additional share repurchases for fiscal 2021 ● Operating cash flow: $2.5 - $2.7 billion ● Capital expenditures: $800 - $900 million ● Free cash flow: $1.7 - $1.8 billion

The reported basis EPS guidance includes the fiscal 2021 year to date Canopy equity earnings and related activities impact. Our guidance does not reflect future changes in the fair value of the company’s investments in Canopy’s warrants and convertible debt securities. Additionally, the company continues to evaluate the future potential equity earnings impact from the Canopy equity method investment and related activities and, as such, these items have been excluded from the target assumptions noted above.

The revised Wine and Spirits transaction to sell a portion of the business to E. & J. Gallo Winery (“Gallo”) (the “Further Revised Wine and Spirits Transaction”) and the separate, but related, agreement to divest the Nobilo Wine brand to Gallo (the “Nobilo Transaction”) both closed on January 5, 2021, while the separate transaction to divest the concentrate business to Vie-Del closed in December 2020. In addition, the company agreed to divest the Paul Masson Grande Amber Brandy brand in a separate transaction (the "Paul Masson Transaction") which is expected to close in January 2021. Constellation plans to retain the Cooks and J. Roget brands and the Mission Bell Winery.

The following table presents estimated selected wine and spirits segment financial information included in our consolidated financial statements that will no longer be part of our consolidated results after these transactions close:

									FY20 Q4						FY21 Q1						FY21 Q2						FY21 Q3
(in millions)
Shipment volume (9-liter case equivalents)									6.1						4.5						4.6						5.3
Net sales									$237						$187						$181						$210
CAM (gross profit less marketing)									$84						$77						$67						$74

In addition, the company sold the Black Velvet Canadian Whisky business on November 1, 2019. The approximate fiscal 2020 shipment volume, net sales, and gross profit less marketing totaled 1.6 million 9-liter case equivalents, $50.3 million, and $23.2 million, respectively.

AWARDS & RECOGNITION

Consumer-obsession fuels our innovation. Corona Premier was named to Nielsen’s 2020 BASES Top 25 breakthrough innovation list, awarded to standout innovations that achieved critical success amidst the COVID-19-impacted landscape.						Shanken News recognized five of our wine and spirits brands with IMPACT Blue Chip Awards, given to the industry’s best long-term performers: SVEDKA, Woodbridge, Ruffino, Kim Crawford, and Meiomi.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

On January 6, 2021, Constellation’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.75 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.68 per share of Class B Common Stock, payable on February 23, 2021, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2021.

CANOPY GROWTH INVESTMENT

Constellation’s share of Canopy Growth’s equity earnings and related activities for third quarter of fiscal 2021 totaled a loss of $12.4 million on a reported basis and a loss of $43.0 million on a comparable basis.

Constellation has recognized a $834 million unrealized net gain in reported basis results since the initial Canopy investment in November 2017; a $770 million increase in the fair value of Canopy investments was recognized for third quarter of fiscal 2021.

In December 2020, Canopy announced its plans to close five Canadian production facilities as part of its efforts to streamline its operations and further improve margins. As such, Canopy expects to record an estimated pre-tax loss of approximately C$350 million to C$400 million in their third and fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results. Constellation expects to record its proportional share of the estimated pre-tax loss of approximately C$130 million to C$155 million in our fourth quarter fiscal 2021 and first quarter of fiscal 2022 results.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Reported basis (“reported”) are amounts as reported under generally accepted accounting principles. Comparable basis (“comparable”) are amounts which exclude items that affect comparability (“comparable adjustments”), as they are not reflective of core operations of the segments. The company’s measure of segment profitability excludes comparable adjustments, which is consistent with the measure used by management to evaluate results. The company discusses various non-GAAP measures in this news release. Financial statements, as well as supplemental schedules and tables reconciling non-GAAP measures, together with definitions of these measures and the reasons management uses these measures, are included in this news release.

The statements made under the heading Outlook and all statements other than statements of historical fact set forth in this news release regarding Constellation Brands’ business strategy, future operations and business, future financial position, expected effective tax rates and anticipated tax liabilities, estimated revenues, projected costs and expenses, expected net sales and operating income, estimated diluted EPS, expected capital expenditures, expected operating cash flow and free cash flow, future payments of dividends, manner and timing of share repurchases under the share repurchase authorization, and prospects, plans and objectives of management, as well as information concerning expected actions of third parties, are forward-looking statements (collectively, the “Projections”) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the Projections.

During the current quarter, Constellation Brands may reiterate the Projections. Prior to the start of the company’s quiet period, which will begin at the close of business on February 26, 2021, the public can continue to rely on the Projections as still being Constellation Brands’ current expectations on the matters covered, unless the company publishes a notice stating otherwise. During Constellation Brands’ “quiet period,” the Projections should not be considered to constitute the company’s expectations and should be considered historical, speaking as of prior to the quiet period only and not subject to update by the company.

The Projections are based on management’s current expectations and, unless otherwise noted, do not take into account the impact of any future acquisition, investment, merger, or any other business combination, divestiture, restructuring, or other strategic business realignments, financing or share repurchase that may be completed after the date of this release. The Projections should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results will in fact occur. The actual impact of COVID-19 and its associated operating environment may be materially different than management’s expectations. The pending Paul Masson Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. There can be no assurance the Paul Masson Transaction will occur or will occur on the terms or timetable contemplated hereby. There also can be no assurance Constellation will receive any incremental contingent consideration payment or any specific amount of incremental contingent consideration payment associated with the Further Revised Wine and Spirits Transaction.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations, the Projections of the company contained in this news release are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:

•impact of the Wine and Spirits Transactions, amount and use of expected proceeds from the transactions, actual purchase price adjustments, and post-closing purchase price adjustments, amount of any future write-down on assets held for sale, and the amount and timing of cost reductions or any future restructuring charge, if any, may vary from management’s current expectations;

•amount of contingent consideration, if any, received in the Further Revised Wine and Spirits Transaction will depend on actual brand performance;

•beer operations expansion, construction, and optimization activities, scope, costs and timing associated with these activities, and amount of impairment, if any, from non-recoverable brewery construction assets in Mexico may vary from management’s current estimates due to market conditions, our cash and debt position, receipt of regulatory approvals on the expected dates and terms, results of discussions with government officials, actual amount of non-recoverable brewery construction assets, and other factors determined by management;

•accuracy of supply projections, including those relating to wine and spirits operating activities, beer operations expansion activities, product inventory levels, and glass sourcing;

•operating cash flow, free cash flow, effective tax rate, and capital expenditures to support long-term growth may vary from management’s current estimates;

•accuracy of projections associated with market opportunities and with previously announced acquisitions, investments, and divestitures;

•exact duration of the share repurchase implementation and the amount, timing, and source of funds for any share repurchases;

•amount and timing of future dividends are subject to the determination and discretion of the board of directors;

•raw material and water supply, production, or shipment difficulties could adversely affect the company’s ability to supply its customers;

•changes to international trade agreements and tariffs, accounting standards, elections or assertions, tax laws or other governmental rules and regulations, and other factors which could impact the company’s reported financial position, results of operations, effective tax rate, or accuracy of any associated Projections;

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED AND ORGANIC NET SALES

(in millions)

(unaudited)

For periods of acquisition, we define organic net sales as current period reported net sales less net sales of products of acquired businesses reported for the current period, as appropriate. For periods of divestiture, we define organic net sales as prior period reported net sales less net sales of products of divested businesses reported for the prior period, as appropriate. We provide organic net sales because we use this information in monitoring and evaluating the underlying business trends of our core operations. In addition, we believe this information provides investors valuable insight on underlying business trends and results in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance.

The divestitures impacting the periods below consist of the Black Velvet Divestiture (sold November 1, 2019) and the Ballast Point Divestiture (sold March 2, 2020).

(1)    The effective tax rate applied to each Comparable Adjustment amount is generally based upon the jurisdiction in which the Comparable Adjustment was recognized. For the three months and nine months ended November 30, 2020, the (provision for) benefit from income taxes primarily includes (i) a net income tax (provision) benefit recognized as a result of adjustments to valuation allowances and (ii) a net income tax (provision) benefit related to legislative and governmental initiatives under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). For the three months and nine months ended November 30, 2019, the (provision for) benefit from income taxes includes a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of tax reform in Switzerland. For the nine months ended November 30, 2019, the (provision for) benefit from income taxes also includes a net income tax benefit recognized for the reversal of a valuation allowance related to capital loss carryforwards as a result of classifying assets held for sale in connection with the definitive agreement to sell a portion of the wine and spirits business to E. & J. Gallo Winery.

(2)    May not sum due to rounding as each item is computed independently. For the nine months ended November 30, 2019, the comparable adjustments and comparable basis diluted net income per share are calculated on a fully dilutive basis. (6)

(3)    For the three months ended November 30, 2019, acquisitions, divestitures, and related costs consist of a net gain recognized in connection with the sale of the Black Velvet Canadian Whisky business.

(4)    For the three months ended November 30, 2020, and November 30, 2019, restructuring and other strategic business development costs consist of impairments of long-lived assets held for sale and costs to optimize our portfolio, gain efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within the wine and spirits segment. For the three months ended November 30, 2020, restructuring and other strategic business development costs also consist of equity losses from Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy") related to costs designed to improve their organizational focus, streamline operations, and align product capability with projected demand.

(5)    For the three months ended November 30, 2020, other consists primarily of an unrealized net gain from the mark to fair value of our investments in Canopy and a net gain from the mark to fair value of undesignated commodity derivative contracts, partially offset by costs associated with Canopy equity losses and a loss on write-down of certain grapes as a result of smoke damage sustained during the U.S. West Coast wildfires. For the three months ended November 30, 2019, other consists primarily of a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of tax reform in Switzerland and a net gain associated with Canopy equity earnings.
