FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

MAY 31, 2024

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2024 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Reclassification

We reclassified equity method investments to other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2024, to conform with current year presentation.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily computed in accordance with the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Elements of cost include materials, labor, and overhead and consist of the following:


	May 31, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)
Raw materials and supplies	$	244.1	$	254.1
In-process inventories	1,109.5		1,096.0
Finished case goods	773.4		728.2
	$	2,127.0	$	2,078.3

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Overview

Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the three months ended May 31, 2024.

The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows:


	May 31, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)
Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	$	2,083.1	$	2,045.6




Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	$	829.5	$	735.9
Commodity derivative contracts	$	351.5	$	397.5

Credit risk

We are exposed to credit-related losses if the counterparties to our derivative contracts default. This credit risk is limited to the fair value of the derivative contracts. To manage this risk, we contract only with major


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 6


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

financial institutions that have earned investment-grade credit ratings and with whom we have standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements which allow for net settlement of the derivative contracts. We have also established counterparty credit guidelines that are regularly monitored. Because of these safeguards, we believe the risk of loss from counterparty default to be immaterial.

In addition, our derivative instruments are not subject to credit rating contingencies or collateral requirements. As of May 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $2.2 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on May 31, 2024, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

Results of period derivative activity

The estimated fair value and location of our derivative instruments on our balance sheets are as follows (see Note 4):


Assets					Liabilities
	May 31, 2024		February 29, 2024			May 31, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)
Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts:
Prepaid expenses and other	$	148.0	$	154.1	Other accrued expenses and liabilities	$	2.5	$	3.5
Other assets	$	141.0	$	153.5	Deferred income taxes and other liabilities	$	0.5	$	0.2









Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts:
Prepaid expenses and other	$	2.7	$	3.6	Other accrued expenses and liabilities	$	3.8	$	1.7
Commodity derivative contracts:
Prepaid expenses and other	$	11.2	$	4.8	Other accrued expenses and liabilities	$	19.1	$	27.9
Other assets	$	5.7	$	1.4	Deferred income taxes and other liabilities	$	4.5	$	8.1

The principal effect of our derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedging relationships on our results of operations, as well as OCI, net of income tax effect, is as follows:

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, including a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy includes three levels:

•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as volatility, interest rates, and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Fair value methodology

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:

Foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts

The fair value is estimated using market-based inputs, obtained from independent pricing services, entered into valuation models. These valuation models require various inputs, including contractual terms, market foreign exchange prices, market commodity prices, interest-rate yield curves, and currency volatilities, as applicable (Level 2 fair value measurement).

Short-term borrowings

Our short-term borrowings consist of our commercial paper program and the revolving credit facility under our senior credit facility. The revolving credit facility is a variable interest rate bearing note with a fixed margin, adjustable based upon our debt rating (as defined in our senior credit facility). For these short-term borrowings, the carrying value approximates the fair value.

Long-term debt

The fair value of our fixed interest rate long-term debt is estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 fair value measurement). As of May 31, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,089.1 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,176.1 million. As of February 29, 2024, the carrying amount of long-


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 8


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

term debt, including the current portion, was $11,637.9 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,775.8 million.

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value as of May 31, 2024, and February 29, 2024, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Recurring basis measurements

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis:

Equity method investments

We evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of May 31, 2023, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the fair value being less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recorded significant costs in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 results designed to align its


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 9


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

Canadian cannabis operations and resources in response to continued unfavorable market trends, (iii) the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, and (iv) Canopy’s identification of material misstatements in certain of its previously reported financial results related to sales in its BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. reporting unit that were accounted for incorrectly, including the recording of a goodwill impairment during its restated second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying value of $266.2 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $142.7 million, resulting in an impairment of $123.5 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the three months ended May 31, 2023. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of May 31, 2023. We no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy following the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares. See Note 7 for further discussion.

5. GOODWILL

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:


	Beer		Wine and Spirits		Consolidated

(1)Purchase accounting allocations associated with the June 2023 acquisition of the Domaine Curry wine business.

If broader industry and market conditions decline and/or our expectations of future performance as reflected in our current strategic operating plans are not fully realized, a future impairment of Wine and Spirits goodwill is reasonably possible.

Subsequent event

Sea Smoke acquisition

In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility for $170.0 million, subject to adjustments. This transaction also included the acquisition of a trademark, inventory, and goodwill. The results of operations of Sea Smoke will be reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and will be included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 11


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

Exchangeable Shares

In April 2024, we elected to convert our 17.1 million Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, in April 2024, we exchanged C$81.2 million of the principal amount of the C$100.0 million 4.25% promissory note issued to us by Canopy for 9.1 million Exchangeable Shares and forgave all accrued but unpaid interest together with the remaining principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $83.3 million net gain in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2024. The fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy’s common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy’s common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As the Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for the Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

Other investments in debt and equity securities

We have multiple investments through our corporate venture capital function in debt and equity securities.

Subsequent event

Mexicali Brewery

In July 2024, we closed on the sale of the remaining assets classified as held for sale at the canceled Mexicali Brewery. These net assets had met held for sale criteria as of May 31, 2024, and February 29, 2024.

(2)Contractual interest rate varies based on our debt rating (as defined in the agreement) and is a function of SOFR plus a margin and a credit spread adjustment, or the base rate plus a margin, or, in certain circumstances where SOFR cannot be adequately ascertained or available, an alternative benchmark rate plus a margin.

(3)We and/or CB International are the borrower under the $2,250.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 14, 2027. Includes a sub-facility for letters of credit of up to $200.0 million.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program

We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility. Information with respect to our outstanding commercial paper borrowings is as follows:

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2024, and May 31, 2023, was 3.0% and 39.6%, respectively.

For the three months ended May 31, 2024, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods, (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, and (iii) a decrease in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy.

For the three months ended May 31, 2023, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of a change in tax entity classification and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and currently do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.

13. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our internal management financial reporting consists of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits and we report our operating results in three segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Corporate Operations and Other. In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported beer brands and ABAs. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to produce our Mexican beer portfolio and to import, market, and sell such portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a portfolio that includes higher-end wine brands


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 17


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy, executive management, growth, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public relations, as well as our Canopy investment and investments made through our corporate venture capital function. All costs included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment are general costs that are applicable to the consolidated group and are, therefore, not allocated to the other reportable segments. All costs reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our CODM’s evaluation of the operating income (loss) performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management, and the structure of our internal financial reporting. Long-lived tangible assets and total asset information by segment is not provided to, or reviewed by, our CODM as it is not used to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, or assess performance.

In addition, management excludes Comparable Adjustments from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these Comparable Adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and the incentive compensation of segment management are evaluated based on core segment operating income (loss) which does not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.

We evaluate segment operating performance based on operating income (loss) of the respective business units. Comparable Adjustments that impacted comparability in our segment operating income (loss) for each period are as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended May 31,
	2024		2023
(in millions)
Cost of product sold
Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts	$	14.6	$	(34.7)
Settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts	8.5		0.6

(i)Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value given the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, prior to the maturity of the note. Accordingly, the fair value of the remaining balance for this instrument was determined to be zero. In April 2024, we exchanged the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares.

14. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED

Segment reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued a standard requiring disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM as well as the title and position of the CODM. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2025, and interim periods beginning March 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Income taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued a standard aimed at improving tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2026, with early adoption permitted and this standard may be applied retrospectively. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Climate

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules will require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks, how the board of directors and management oversee and manage such risks, and the actual and potential material impacts of such risks on us. The rules also require disclosure about material climate-related targets and goals, Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and the financial impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The SEC has indicated that it will publish a new effective date for the rules, if ultimately implemented, at the conclusion of the stay. These rules will be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of these rules on our SEC filings.
