HIGHLIGHTS
Constellation’s Beer Business posted depletion growth of almost 9%, driven by the continued explosive performance of Modelo Especial and resilient growth from Corona Extra. Depletion volume selling days were flat year-over-year.
In IRI channels, our Beer Business significantly outpaced the entire beer category, as well as high-end beer; Constellation was the #1 share gainer in the U.S. beer industry in total, adding 1.4 market dollar share points, and carrying 4 of the top 15 share gaining high-end brands.
Modelo Especial achieved more than 15% depletion growth and continued to be the #1 brand in the high-end and #1 brand share gainer in the entire U.S. beer category in IRI dollar sales.
Modelo Chelada remains the #1 chelada in the U.S. beer market posting more than 39% depletion growth and expanding its share to more than half of the entire chelada segment.
Corona Extra reported depletion growth of over 4% and remained the #2 import share gainer and #3 brand in the high-end in IRI channels.
Pacifico posted depletion growth of more than 21% as the brand regained distribution with increased brown glass availability.

Operating margin decreased 260 basis points to 40.2%, as benefits from favorable pricing, foreign currency, and marketing and SG&A as a percent of net sales were more than offset by increased COGS driven by expected higher raw material, transportation, brewery, and depreciation costs.
The Beer Business continues to expect net sales and operating income growth of 7 - 9% and 2 - 4%, respectively, for fiscal 2023 reflecting the strong performance of the core beer portfolio.

HIGHLIGHTS
Constellation's Wine and Spirits Business posted positive depletion growth driven by double-digit growth for Meiomi, The Prisoner Wine Company, High West Whiskey, and Casa Noble Tequila.
In IRI channels, our Wine and Spirits Business outperformed the total U.S. wine and spirits category and gained share.
Our fine wine and crafts spirits portfolio (Aspira) achieved 16% depletion growth, with The Prisoner Wine Company, High West Whiskey, and Casa Noble Tequila growing significantly ahead of their corresponding categories.
Our Wine and Spirits Business innovation strategy continued to gain traction as Meiomi Red Blend became the second largest new product contributor in the wine category; Meiomi continues to outperform in IRI channels, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Blend, and Pinot Noir holding the top 3 share gaining positions in the ultra premium segment.

Operating margin decreased 330 basis points to 19.6% as benefits from favorable mix and pricing were more than offset by increased COGS primarily driven by higher raw material and transportation costs, increased G&A and planned increased marketing spend.
The Wine and Spirits Business continues to expect fiscal 2023 reported net sales decline of 1 - 3% and operating income growth of 4 - 6%.

The table sets forth management's current EPS expectations for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 actual results, on a reported basis, a comparable basis, and a comparable basis excluding Canopy equity earnings (losses) and related activities.

(Excl. Canopy)
Fiscal Year Ending February 28$10.50 - $10.80$(0.22)$11.20 - $11.50$10.20$10.99
Fiscal 2023 Guidance Assumptions:
Beer: net sales growth 7 - 9%; operating income growth 2 - 4%
Wine and Spirits: net sales decline 1 - 3% and operating income growth 4 - 6%
Interest expense: approximately $350 - $360 million
Tax rate: reported approximately 21.5%; comparable excluding Canopy equity earnings impact approximately 20%

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 186.5 million; includes shares repurchased through June 2022
Operating cash flow: $2.6 - $2.8 billion
Capital expenditures: $1.3 - $1.4 billion, including approximately $1.2 billion targeted for Mexico beer operations expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities
Free cash flow: $1.3 - $1.4 billion
The reported basis EPS guidance includes the fiscal 2023 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 guidance assumptions noted above.

BEER BUSINESS CAPITAL EXPANSION
The company plans to invest in the next increment of capacity in Mexico that will provide the long-term flexibility needed to support the expected future growth of its high-end Mexican beer portfolio. As previously announced, total capital expenditures for the Beer Business are expected to be $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion over fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2026, with the majority of the spend expected to occur in the first three years of that timeframe. The investment will support the addition of up to 30 million hectoliters of modular capacity and includes the construction of a new brewery in Southeast Mexico in the state of Veracruz, as well as continued expansion, optimization, and/or construction at the company's existing sites in Nava and Obregon.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES
Corona Helping To Protect Our Beaches
fy2023q1_conoronaprotectou.jpg
Corona is committed to bringing together communities across America to refresh our beaches by removing one million pounds of plastic by the brand's 100th birthday in 2025. Through high-impact cleanups and internal plastic reduction, Corona eliminated over 570,000 pounds of plastic from 30 beaches nationwide in the first year of the Protect Our Beaches initiative, which is more than 50% of the overall goal. As the brand launches year two with more beach clean-ups and upcycled-plastic merchandise collaborations, the mission is succeeding in building awareness around social and environmental change to keep Corona's place, the beach, clean for years to come.

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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements made under the heading Outlook and all statements other than statements of historical fact set forth in this news release regarding the company's business strategy, future operations, business, and financial position, expected net sales and operating income, projected costs and expenses, expected effective tax rates and anticipated tax liabilities, estimated diluted EPS and shares outstanding, expected capital expenditures, operating cash flow, and free cash flow, future payments of dividends, amount, manner, and timing of share repurchases under the share repurchase authorization, consumer demand, ESG goals and efforts, and prospects, plans, and objectives of management, as well as information concerning expected actions of third parties, are forward-looking statements (collectively, “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 August 31, 2022, 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 issuance of this release, potential common stock declassification, or incremental contingent consideration payment paid or specific amount of incremental contingent consideration payment received in association with divestitures. The Projections should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results will in fact occur.
In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations, the Projections of the company contained in this news release are subject to risk uncertainty, and possible variance from management's expectations regarding:
water, agricultural and other raw material, and packaging material supply, production, and/or shipment difficulties could adversely affect our ability to supply our customers;
inflationary pressures and our ability to pass along rising costs to consumers through increased selling prices;
actual impact to supply, production levels, and costs from global supply chain logistics, transportation challenges, wildfires, and severe weather events, due to, among other reasons, actual supply chain and transportation performance and the actual severity and geographical reach of wildfires and severe weather events;
actual balance of supply and demand for our products and percentage of our portfolio distributed through any particular distributor;
actual demand, net sales, channel proportions, and volume trends for our products;
beer operations expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities, scope, capacity, costs (including impairments), capital expenditures, and timing due to, among other reasons, market conditions, our cash and debt position, receipt of required regulatory approvals in accordance with expected dates and terms, results of discussions with government officials in Mexico, the actual amount of non-recoverable brewery construction assets and other costs, and other factors determined by management;
duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to new variants, vaccine efficacy and immunization rates, closures of non-essential businesses, which may include our manufacturing facilities, and other associated governmental containment actions, and the increase in cyber-security attacks that have occurred while non-production employees work remotely;
impact of the military conflict in Ukraine and associated geopolitical tensions and responses, including on inflation, supply chains, commodities, energy, and cyber-security;
amount, timing, and source of funds for any share repurchases, exact duration of share repurchase programs, and number of shares outstanding;
amount and timing of future dividends which are subject to the determination and discretion of our Board of Directors and may be impacted if our ability to use cash flow to fund dividends is affected by unanticipated increases in total net debt, we are unable to generate cash flow at anticipated levels, or we fail to generate expected earnings;
fair value of and accuracy of projections relating to the Canopy investment, including any potential future impairment thereof;
amount of contingent consideration, if any, received in divestitures depending upon actual future brand performance;
expected impacts of wine and spirits portfolio refinement activities;
accuracy of supply projections, including relating to beer operations expansion, optimization, and construction activities, wine and spirits operating activities, product inventory levels, and glass sourcing;
operating cash flow, free cash flow, effective tax rate, and capital expenditures to support long-term growth;
accuracy of projections associated with market opportunities, new products, and previously announced acquisitions, investments, and divestitures;
general economic, geopolitical, domestic, international, and regulatory conditions, world financial market instability, recession, health epidemics or pandemics, unanticipated environmental liabilities and costs, or enhanced competitive activities;
changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, accounting standards, elections, assertions, or policies, tax laws, or other governmental 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;
changes in interest rates and the inherent unpredictability of currency fluctuations, commodity prices, and raw materials; and
other factors and uncertainties disclosed in the company’s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, which could cause actual future performance to differ from current expectations.

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.
