"Our Beer Business continued to outperform the market as the top share gainer for the sixth consecutive quarter. Our Wine and Spirits Business further advanced its strategy with our largest higher-end brands delivering growth significantly above the category segments. Looking ahead, we remain confident that we can continue to build on our strong track-record of solid growth and value creation." | "The solid top-line performance of our Beer Business has given us confidence to again raise our outlook for the full-year increasing the low-end of our net sales and operating income growth ranges. And, the capacity added by productivity initiatives at our existing brewery operations gave us flexibility in our capex plans, yielding a higher free cash flow estimate for the year. We are also now on-track to surpass our goal to return $5 billion to shareholders by fiscal year-end upon payment of this quarter's declared dividend." | |||||||||||||||||||

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. | |||||||||||
