"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." | |||||||||||||||||||

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

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