SUPPORTING OUR ENVIRONMENT, COMMUNITIES, AND RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION | ||||||||
At Constellation Brands, we are committed to serving as good stewards of our environment and natural resources. As part of our broader ESG strategy, we are focused on improving water availability and resilience for our communities where we operate by collaborating with community leaders and organizations to support local watersheds and enable the restoration of water consumed by our operations. We are proud to announce a collaboration with the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District and Bonneville Environmental Foundation on the Tecklenburg Groundwater Recharge project in California. This project will recharge groundwater in the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Subbasin, while helping to manage groundwater stress in the communities around our Woodbridge Winery and Lodi Distribution Center as well as a region from which we source approximately 7% of our U.S. grape supply. In addition to helping improve water access for the broader community, this project is expected to provide volumetric benefits toward achieving Constellation’s water restoration goal. Between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2025, we are targeting to restore 5 billion gallons of water withdrawals from local watersheds near our production facilities. |

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