Fiscal 2022 Guidance Assumptions: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
● Beer: net sales growth 9 - 11%; operating income growth 4 - 6% ● Wine and Spirits: net sales decline 22 - 24% and operating income decline 23 - 25%; organic net sales growth 2 - 4% ● Interest expense: $355 - $365 million ● Tax rate: reported approximately 83%; comparable excluding Canopy equity earnings impact approximately 20% ● Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 192 million; assumes approximately $1.4 billion of share repurchases | ● Operating cash flow: $2.4 - $2.6 billion ● Capital expenditures: $1.0 - $1.1 billion, including approximately $900 million targeted for Mexico beer operations expansion activities ● Free cash flow: $1.4 - $1.5 billion | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The reported basis EPS guidance includes the fiscal 2022 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 investment 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. |

Free Cash Flow Guidance Free cash flow, as defined in the reconciliation below, is considered a liquidity measure and is considered to provide useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated, which can then be used, after required debt service and dividend payments, for other general corporate purposes. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flow from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||||
