"Our Beer Business delivered double-digit net sales growth and continued to outperform the market as the top share gainer. Meanwhile, our higher-end Wine and Spirits Business outperformed the higher-end of the U.S. wine category and gained share in that segment. And, we further enhanced our ESG goals with new waste and packaging commitments. Looking ahead, we remain focused on continuing to advance our Fiscal ‘24 outlook and strategic initiatives."

"The solid top-line performance of our Beer Business has reaffirmed our confidence in our annual plans and objectives, and we expect our Wine and Spirits Business to accelerate toward its Fiscal '24 outlook throughout the balance of the year. We are also now closer to our net leverage ratio goal while continuing to return cash to shareholders in-line with our dividend payout ratio target and advancing our modular brewery capacity expansions per capital allocation priorities."

% Change7.5%5.5%11%5%
HIGHLIGHTS
Constellation’s Beer Business posted an 11% net sales increase driven by an uplift in shipments of 7.5%, reflecting strong growth across Modelo Especial, the Modelo Chelada brands, Corona Extra, Pacifico, and the successful launch of Modelo Oro. Depletion volume grew 5.5% with selling days flat year-over-year.
In Circana channels, our Beer Business continued to outpace the entire beer and high-end categories in dollar sales growth and volume growth. Constellation was the #1 share gainer in market dollars for an eighth consecutive quarter, adding 1.5 points in the beer category and 2.2 points in the high-end segment, and now has 6 of the top 15 share gaining high-end brands.
Modelo Especial grew depletions by nearly 5% and remained the #1 brand in the high-end and #1 brand share gainer in the entire U.S. beer category in Circana dollar sales.
Modelo Chelada brands continued to be the #1 chelada in the U.S. beer market, posting nearly 40% depletion growth and held 65% market share of the entire chelada segment.
Corona Extra was the #3 brand in the high-end in Circana channels and delivered depletion growth of approximately 1%.
Pacifico accelerated depletion growth to more than 14% and rose to the #7 share gainer in the high-end in Circana channels.
Operating margin decreased 220 basis points to 38.0% as benefits from net sales growth and operational and cost efficiency initiatives were more than offset by increased raw materials due to ongoing inflationary pressures, increased marketing spend across both core products and new product launches, and incremental depreciation and operating costs from brewery capacity expansions.
The Beer Business continues to expect net sales and operating income growth of 7 - 9% and 5 - 7%, respectively, for fiscal 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS
In Circana channels, Constellation's higher-end wine brands gained share in the wine category and outpaced the corresponding higher-end wine segment in dollar sales growth.
Our spirits portfolio delivered growth in Circana channels with strong growth in our higher-end tequila and ready-to-drink cocktail brands.
Our craft spirits brands posted nearly 40% depletion growth, driven by Mi CAMPO posting depletion growth over 80%.
fy2024q1_wspiritsinfograph.jpg
Our DTC channels delivered net sales growth of 13% supported by ongoing investments in hospitality and DTC eCommerce.
Innovation in our Wine and Spirits Business continues to succeed with Meiomi Bright as the #1 new wine brand and FrescaTM Mixed as the #3 new spirits brand in Circana channels(3).
Operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 19.0% as benefits from favorable pricing and marketing expense and decreased costs in materials and packaging, partly driven by efficiency initiatives, were more than offset by lower shipment volume and unfavorable mix.
The Wine and Spirits Business continues to expect fiscal 2024 organic net sales decline of 0.5% to growth of 0.5% and operating income growth of 2 - 4%; see Fiscal 2024 Guidance Assumptions under Outlook for more information.

(3) FrescaTM Mixed results are primarily included as part of beer segment but reported under the spirits category in Circana tracked channel data.

Fiscal Year Ending February 28/29$9.35 - $9.65$(0.11)$11.70 - $12.00$10.65$11.40
Fiscal 2024 Guidance Assumptions:
Beer: net sales growth of 7 - 9%; operating income growth of 5 - 7%
Wine and Spirits: organic net sales decline of 0.5% to growth of 0.5%; operating income growth 2 - 4%, excluding $38.5 million of net sales and $19.5 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the Wine and Spirits Business results

Operating cash flow: $2.4 - $2.6 billion
Capital expenditures: $1.2 - $1.3 billion, including approximately $1 billion targeted for Mexico beer operations activities
Free cash flow: $1.2 - $1.3 billion
The reported EPS guidance includes the fiscal 2024 year to date Canopy equity earnings and related activities impact. 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 $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion over fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2026. 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 modular capacity expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities at the company's existing sites in Nava and Obregon.


CANOPY INVESTMENT
As of May 31, 2023, we evaluated our equity method investment in Canopy and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. As a result, a $123.5 million impairment was recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, which is included above in the fiscal 2024 reported EPS outlook. In addition, due to several factors occurring as of May 31, 2023, including those which led to the additional impairment of our equity method investment in Canopy combined with Canopy’s financial results no longer being provided to, or reviewed by, our chief operating decision maker, and no longer being used to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, or assess performance, we have removed Canopy as a reportable segment.

Constellation’s share of Canopy’s equity earnings (losses) and related activities were as follows:

CONSTELLATION FURTHER STRENGTHENS ESG COMMITMENT WITH NEW WASTE REDUCTION AND CIRCULAR PACKAGING TARGETS
During the first quarter, we announced two new environmental stewardship commitments – pursuing a TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification in key operating facilities(4) and significantly enhancing our use of circular packaging across our beverage alcohol portfolio, both by fiscal 2025. These initiatives will be integrated into the company’s annual operating plans and will further bolster our efforts to serve as good stewards of our environment and natural resources.

As part of this commitment, the company will execute plans to attain TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification in our key operating facilities by fiscal 2025 by further reducing operational waste across our facilities and enhancing diversion from landfills. TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification is the first zero waste certification program dedicated to measuring, improving, and recognizing zero waste performance by encouraging the adoption of sustainable materials management and reduction practices which contribute to positive environmental, health, and economic outcomes.
fy2024q1_esg.jpg
To achieve our goal of significantly enhancing circular packaging across our beverage alcohol portfolio by fiscal 2025, the company will execute targeted plans to:
Reduce its ratio(5) of packaging weight to product weight by 10% across its Wine and Spirits portfolio(6).
Ensure that 80% of packaging from its Wine and Spirits portfolio is returnable, recyclable, or renewable.
Replace hi-cone plastic rings with recyclable paperboard for all applicable 4-pack and 6-pack SKUs across its Beer portfolio.
These new commitments and targets are part of Constellation’s broader ESG ambitions which are grounded in the following focus areas:
Serving as good stewards of our environment and natural resources
Enhancing social equity within our industry and communities
Promoting responsible beverage alcohol consumption
The company has made meaningful progress in these focus areas over the past year, most notably around water stewardship where it recently surpassed its target of restoring approximately 1.1 billion gallons of water withdrawals from local watersheds, while improving accessibility and the quality of water for communities where the company operates. The company plans to announce a new water stewardship target later this fiscal year and will disclose progress made in each of its ESG focus areas in its 2023 ESG Impact Report which will be released this fall.
(4) Key operating facilities, for the purposes of this target, consist of our major production facilities (i.e., our breweries in Mexico and our U.S. wineries generating the vast majority of waste).
(5) Total packaging weight vs weight of wine or spirits liquid.
(6) From baseline fiscal year 2022 ratio of packaging weight to product weight in Wine and Spirits portfolio.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Reported basis (“reported”) are derived from amounts as reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. 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 (“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 release.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements made under the heading Outlook and all statements other than statements of historical fact set forth in this release, including statements regarding our business strategy, growth plans, innovation, new products, future operations, financial position, expected net sales, costs, expenses, operating income, effective tax rates, anticipated tax liabilities, capital expenditures, operating cash flow, and free cash flow, estimated diluted EPS and shares outstanding, 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 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, 2023, the public can continue to rely on the Projections as still being Constellation’s current expectations on the matters covered, unless the company publishes a notice stating otherwise. During Constellation’s 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 (i) 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 other business combination, divestiture (including any associated amount of incremental contingent consideration payment paid or received), restructuring or other strategic business realignment, or financing or share repurchase that may be completed after the issuance of this release; and (ii) 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 contained in this 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 which could adversely affect our ability to supply our customers;
inflationary pressures, including reductions in consumer discretionary income 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 disruptions and constraints, transportation challenges, shifting consumer behaviors, wildfires, and severe weather events, due to, among other reasons, actual supply chain and transportation performance, consumer behaviors, and the severity and geographical reach of wildfires and severe weather events;
reliance on complex information systems and third-party global networks;
actual balance of supply and demand for our products and performance of our distributors;
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, and other factors determined by management;
contamination and degradation of product quality from diseases, pests, weather, and other conditions;
communicable diseases outbreaks, pandemics, or other widespread public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated governmental containment actions;
impact of the military conflict in Ukraine and associated internal destabilization in Russia, geopolitical tensions, and responses, including on inflation, supply chains, commodities, energy, and cybersecurity;
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;
accuracy of Projections relating to the Canopy investment, including Canopy's plan to create an exchangeable share structure, conversion of our securities, and related matters;
timeframe and amount of any potential future impairment of our Canopy investment;
expected impacts of craft beer divestitures and wine and spirits portfolio refinement activities;
accuracy of supply projections, including for beer operations expansion, optimization, and construction activities, wine and spirits operating activities, 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 acquisitions, investments, and divestitures;
general economic, geopolitical, domestic, international, and regulatory conditions, world financial market and banking sector instability, including economic slowdown or recession, litigation risks, 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 our 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;
long-term impacts of the reclassification; and
other factors and uncertainties disclosed in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, which could cause actual future performance to differ from our current expectations.

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. Wine and Spirits net sales are provided by channel and market categories as management uses this information to monitor this business. In addition, we believe this information provides investors, financial analysts covering the Company, rating agencies, and other external users (“our investors”) valuable insight on underlying business trends and results and, in the case of Wine and Spirits, the underlying composition of segment net sales and results, in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance.
The divestiture impacting the period below consists of the sale of certain mainstream and premium wine brands and related inventory (the "Wine Divestiture") (sold October 6, 2022).

Comparable adjustments, Net income (loss) attributable to CBI$(398.6)$(114.3)
Undesignated commodity derivative contracts
Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts represents a net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of undesignated commodity derivative contracts. The net gain (loss) is reported outside of segment operating results until such time that the underlying exposure is recognized in the segment operating results. At settlement, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the undesignated commodity derivative contracts is reported in the appropriate operating segment, allowing the results of our operating segments to reflect the economic effects of the commodity derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility.
Flow through of inventory step-up
In connection with acquisitions, the allocation of purchase price in excess of book value for certain inventories on hand at the date of acquisition is referred to as inventory step-up. Inventory step-up represents an assumed manufacturing profit attributable to the acquired business prior to acquisition.
Recovery of (loss on) inventory write-down
We recognized a gain from a change in estimate on reserved bulk wine inventory and certain grapes as a result of smoke damage sustained during the 2020 U.S. West Coast wildfires.
Restructuring and other strategic business development costs
We recognized costs in connection with certain activities which are intended to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within the Wine and Spirits segment.
Transition services agreements activity
We recognized costs in connection with transition services agreements related to the previous sale of a portion of our wine and spirits business.
Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs
We recognized transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs in connection with our investments, acquisitions, and divestitures.

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.
