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:


	November 30, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)
Raw materials and supplies	$	244.8	$	254.1
In-process inventories	1,198.9		1,096.0
Finished case goods	685.9		728.2
	$	2,129.6	$	2,078.3

The inventories balance at November 30, 2024, exclude amounts reclassified to assets held for sale. See Notes 5 and 7 for further discussion.

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 nine months and three months ended November 30, 2024.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 7


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

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


	November 30, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)
Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	$	2,854.4	$	2,045.6

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	$	448.9	$	735.9
Commodity derivative contracts	$	337.9	$	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 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 November 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $60.1 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on November 30, 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):

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).


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 10


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

Interest rate swap and Pre-issuance hedge contracts

The fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yield curves, which are obtained from independent pricing services (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 November 30, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,689.0 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,075.5 million. As of February 29, 2024, the carrying amount of long-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 November 30, 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:

Goodwill

As of August 31, 2024, in connection with negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook for this reporting unit. The updated forecast indicated it was more likely than not the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment. This assessment indicated that the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill impairment within our consolidated results for the nine months ended November 30, 2024. See Notes 5, 6, and 9 for further discussion.

When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of goodwill, we measure the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on the discounted cash flow calculation. The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow calculation were: (i) a 9% discount rate, (ii) a 1.5% expected long-term growth rate, and (iii) the annual cash flow projections. If there are adverse deviations from our expectations about our Wine and Spirits business or the macroeconomic environment, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including if broader industry and market conditions continue to decline and/or our expectations of future performance as reflected in our current strategic operating plans are not fully realized, a future impairment of the Wine and Spirits goodwill is reasonably possible.

Equity method investments

As of August 31, 2024, and November 30, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function within the Corporate Operations and Other segment, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance. These losses from impairment were included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the respective periods. The estimated fair values were based largely on the cash flows expected to be generated by the investment using unobservable data points.

As of August 31, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 12


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

underperformance. Investments with a $14.9 million carrying value were written down to $2.6 million, their estimated fair value, resulting in a $12.3 million impairment. These investments are part of the Corporate Operations and Other segment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the nine months ended November 30, 2023. The estimated fair value was based largely on observable prices for similar assets. In October 2023, we exited one of these equity method investments in exchange for a note receivable.

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 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 $266.2 million carrying value was written down to $142.7 million, its estimated fair value, resulting in a $123.5 million impairment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the nine months ended November 30, 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.

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

(2)Preliminary purchase accounting allocations associated with the Sea Smoke acquisition.

(3)In connection with the SVEDKA Divestiture, goodwill associated with the business being sold was reclassified to assets held for sale based on the relative fair value of the portion of the business being sold and the remaining wine and spirits portfolio. The relative fair values were determined using the transaction price and the income approach based on assumptions, including projected revenue growth, terminal growth, and discount rates and other projected financial information. See “Subsequent event” below.

Acquisition

Sea Smoke

In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility for $158.7 million, net of closing and post-closing adjustments. This transaction


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 13


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Divestitures

Craft Beer Divestitures

In June 2023, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures. Prior to the Craft Beer Divestitures, we recorded the results of operations of such craft beer brands in the Beer segment.

Subsequent event

SVEDKA Divestiture

On January 6, 2025, we sold the SVEDKA brand and related assets, primarily including inventory and equipment. We received $409.2 million of cash proceeds, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which will be used primarily for general corporate purposes. Prior to the completion of the SVEDKA Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of the SVEDKA brand in the Wine and Spirits segment. We expect to recognize a gain of $250 million to $275 million in connection with this divestiture. This gain will be included within our consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2025. See Note 7 for further discussion.

6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The major components of intangible assets are as follows:


	November 30, 2024				February 29, 2024
	Gross Carrying Amount		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Net Carrying Amount
(in millions)
Amortizable intangible assets
Customer relationships	$	85.3	$	15.2	$	85.3	$	16.2
Other	20.7		0.3		20.8		0.3
Total	$	106.0	15.5		$	106.1	16.5

Nonamortizable intangible assets
Trademarks			2,702.7				2,715.2
Total intangible assets			$	2,718.2			$	2,731.7

The intangible assets balance at November 30, 2024, exclude trademarks reclassified to assets held for sale. We did not incur costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023. Net carrying amount represents the gross carrying value net of accumulated amortization.

Additionally, as of August 31, 2024, in connection with the assessment of the same events and circumstances triggering the interim goodwill impairment test for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit, we completed an interim impairment test of our wine and spirits trademarks. We performed qualitative evaluations considering the results of the most recent fair value measurements as of January 1, 2024, and the likely impact of the negative trends for our Wine and Spirits business on the fair values of the trademarks and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair values of these intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts.

	$	151.0	$	170.6

(1)Following the April 2024 conversion to Exchangeable Shares we no longer apply the equity method.

Assets held for sale

Mexicali Brewery

In July 2024, we sold the remaining assets classified as held for sale at the canceled Mexicali Brewery. These net assets had met held for sale criteria as of February 29, 2024, and through the date of sale.

SVEDKA Divestiture

In January 2025, we completed the SVEDKA Divestiture and sold the related assets classified as held for sale. The SVEDKA net assets had met held for sale criteria as of November 30, 2024, and through the date of sale.

Other investments in debt and equity securities

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

Exchangeable Shares

As of November 30, 2024, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the business and industry factors that led to the decline in Canopy’s common share price since the date of conversion and exchange. We concluded that an impairment did exist, and accordingly, the Exchangeable Shares with a $97.3 million carrying value were written down to $58.7 million, their estimated fair value, resulting in a $38.6 million impairment. The estimated fair value was determined using the same valuation model as of the date of conversion and exchange as noted below. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2024. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 15


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

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 for the nine months ended November 30, 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.

The October 2022 Credit Agreement Amendment revised certain defined terms and covenants in the 2022 Credit Agreement and became effective in April 2024 following the (i) amendment by Canopy of its Articles of Incorporation, (ii) conversion of our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares, and (iii) resignation of our nominees from the board of directors of Canopy.

Information with respect to borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement is as follows:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

(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:


	November 30, 2024			February 29, 2024

(1)Outstanding commercial paper borrowings are net of unamortized discount.

Debt payments

As of November 30, 2024, the required principal repayments under long-term debt obligations (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $49.2 million and $21.4 million, respectively) for the remaining three months of Fiscal 2025 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2024, was 30.7% of tax benefit compared with 21.3% of tax expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023, was 6.6% and 20.0%, respectively.

For the nine months ended November 30, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses, (ii) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments

related to prior periods, and (iii) a net income tax benefit following the reversal of valuation allowances for capital loss carryforwards in connection with the SVEDKA Divestiture, partially offset by a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) a net income tax benefit following the reversal of valuation allowances for capital loss carryforwards in connection with the SVEDKA Divestiture and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses.

For the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2023, our effective tax rate approximated the federal statutory rate of 21% as the increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy was largely offset by 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 15% global minimum tax rate. 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.

12. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI

Net income (loss) per common share – basic for Class A Stock has been computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock reflects the weighted average shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The effect of dilutive securities includes the impact of outstanding stock-based awards. The dilutive computation does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI. The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for Class A Stock are as follows:


	For the Nine Months Ended November 30,				For the Three Months Ended November 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

14. 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 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.

15. 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.

Disaggregation of income statement expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued a standard requiring disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements on an annual and interim basis. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 29, 2028, 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

This MD&A provides additional information on our businesses, current developments, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2024 Annual Report. This MD&A is organized as follows:

Overview. This section provides a general description of our business, which we believe is important in understanding the results of our operations, financial condition, and potential future trends.

Strategy. This section provides a description of our strategy and a discussion of a recent development and significant divestitures, acquisitions, and investments.

Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations presented on a business segment basis for the three months ended November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023, and nine months ended November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023. In addition, a brief description of significant transactions and other items that affect the comparability of the results is provided.

Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows, outstanding debt, and liquidity position. Included in the analysis of outstanding debt is a discussion of the financial capacity available to fund our on-going operations and future commitments, as well as a discussion of other financing arrangements.

Overview

We are an international producer and marketer of beer, wine, and spirits with operations in the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, and Italy with powerful, consumer-connected, high-quality brands like Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Robert Mondavi Winery, Kim Crawford, Meiomi, The Prisoner Wine Company, High West, Casa Noble, and Mi CAMPO. In the U.S., we are one of the top growth contributors at retail among beverage alcohol suppliers. We are the second-largest beer company in the U.S. and continue to strengthen our leadership position as the #1 share gainer in the high-end beer segment and the overall U.S. beer market. In Fiscal 2024, Modelo Especial became the #1 beer brand in the U.S. beer market in dollar sales and continues to hold that position. Within wine and spirits, we have reshaped our brand portfolio to a higher-end focused business and continue our efforts to expand our supply channels through DTC and international markets. The strength of our brands makes us a supplier of choice to many of our consumers and our customers, which include wholesale distributors, retailers, and on-premise locations. We conduct our business through entities we wholly own as well as through a variety of joint ventures and other entities.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 27


MD&A			Table of Contents

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 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.

Goodwill impairment

As of August 31, 2024, in connection with negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook for this reporting unit. Based on the aforementioned factors, we performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment which indicated that the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill impairment within our consolidated results for Nine Months 2025. See Notes 4, 5, and 9 for further discussion.

Strategy

Business strategy

Our overall strategic vision is to consistently deliver industry-leading total stockholder returns over the long-term through a focus on these key pillars:

•continue building strong brands people love with advantaged routes to market;

•build a culture that is consumer-obsessed and leverages robust innovation capabilities to stay on the forefront of consumer trends;

•deploy capital in line with disciplined and balanced priorities;

•deliver on impactful ESG initiatives that we believe are not only good business, but also good for the world; and

•empower the whole enterprise to achieve best-in-class operational efficiency.

We will continue to strive for success by ensuring consumer-led decision making drives all aspects of our business; building a diverse talent pipeline with best-in-class people development; investing in infrastructure that supports and enables our business, including data systems and architecture; and exemplifying intentional and proactive fiscal management. We place focus on positioning our portfolio on higher-margin, higher-growth categories of the beverage alcohol industry to align with consumer-led premiumization, product, and purchasing trends, which we anticipate will continue to drive faster relative growth rates across beer, wine, and spirits. To continue capitalizing on consumer-led premiumization trends, become more competitive, and grow our business, we have employed a strategy dedicated to organic growth and supplemented by targeted investments and acquisitions. We also believe a key component to driving faster relative growth rates is to invest and strengthen our position within the DTC and 3-tier eCommerce channels. We intend for our multi-year Digital Business Acceleration initiative to enable us to drive results by enhancing our technology capabilities in key areas. In Fiscal 2025, we continue to focus on end-to-end digital supply chain planning, logistics, and procurement, as well as introducing a new focus area, revenue growth management. Additionally, we believe our continued focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet provides a solid financial foundation to support our broader strategic initiatives.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 28


MD&A			Table of Contents

Our business strategy for the Beer segment focuses on upholding our leadership position in the U.S. beer market, including the high-end segment, and continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins, enhancements to our results of operations and operating cash flow, and exploring new avenues for growth. This includes continued focus on growing our beer portfolio in the U.S. through expanding distribution for key brands, including within the 3-tier eCommerce channel, as well as investing in the next increment of modular capacity additions required to sustain our momentum. We continue to focus on consumer-led innovation by creating new line extensions behind celebrated, trusted brands and package formats, as well as new to world brands, that are intended to meet emerging needs. Additionally, expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue under our Mexico Beer Projects to align with our anticipated future growth expectations.

Our business strategy for the Wine and Spirits segment continues to focus on delivering growth and improving margins by driving our higher-end brands and operating efficiencies, while also seeking to deliver value from our mainstream brands. We have reshaped our portfolio through an enhanced focus on higher-end, higher-margin, and higher-growth wine and spirits brands. Our business is organized into three distinct category-based teams focused on (i) U.S. wine, (ii) international wine, and (iii) spirits. While each team has its own distinct brand execution strategy, all three remain aligned to the goal of accelerating performance by growing organic net sales and expanding margins. In addition, we are advancing our aim to become a global, omni-channel competitor in line with evolving consumer preferences. Our business continues its efforts to progressively expand into DTC channels (including hospitality), 3-tier eCommerce, and international markets, while remaining a major supplier in U.S. 3-tier brick-and-mortar distribution. In markets where it is feasible, we entered into a contractual arrangement with Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits to consolidate our U.S. distribution in order to obtain dedicated distributor selling resources which focus on our U.S. wine and spirits portfolio to drive organic growth.

Marketing, sales, and distribution of our products are primarily managed on a geographic basis allowing us to leverage leading market positions. In addition, market dynamics and consumer trends vary across each of our markets. Within our primary market in the U.S., we offer a range of beverage alcohol products across the imported beer, ABA, and branded wine and spirits categories, with generally separate distribution networks utilized for (i) our beer portfolio and (ii) our wine and spirits portfolio. The environment for our products is competitive in each of our markets.

We remain committed to our long-term financial model of: growing sales, expanding margins, and increasing cash flow in order to continue to achieve comparable earnings per share growth as well as our target net leverage ratio on a comparable basis and target dividend payout ratio; investing to support the growth of our business; and delivering additional returns to stockholders through periodic share repurchases. Our results of operations and financial condition have been affected by macroeconomic headwinds, including rising unemployment, inflation, changing prices, other unfavorable global and regional economic conditions, global supply chain disruptions and constraints, and geopolitical events, as well as reductions in the discretionary income of consumers available to purchase our products and shifting consumer behaviors. Additionally, ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, particularly rising unemployment, have led to a recent deceleration in the rate of growth of consumer demand for our products. We are also monitoring potential changes to trade and tariff policies, particularly on imports from Mexico into the U.S. and possible retaliatory tariffs imposed by the Mexican government. We expect some or all of these impacts to continue during the remainder of Fiscal 2025 which could have a material impact on our results of operations. We intend to continue to monitor the economic environment, the shifting behavior of consumers, and their impacts on our business. In addition, we are continuing our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs while also seeking to identify additional cost savings, inventory management, and efficiency initiatives. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate rising costs, including as a result of potential new tariffs, through increased selling prices, cost savings, inventory management, and efficiency initiatives, and/or our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs. Furthermore, to the extent climate-related severe weather events, such as droughts, floods, wildfires, extreme heat, and/or late frosts, or other weather conditions that constrain consumer purchasing occasions, continue to occur or accelerate in future periods, it could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

ESG strategy

During the course of our history, we have been committed to safeguarding our environment, making a positive difference in our communities, and advocating for responsible consumption of beverage alcohol products. We believe our ESG strategy enables us to better meet stakeholder expectations and create and protect value for our business, reflects our Company values, and directly addresses pressing environmental and societal needs that are important to our stockholders, communities, consumers, and employees.

Specifically, we have focused on areas where we believe we have the greatest opportunities to make meaningful, positive impacts for people and the planet in a manner that strengthens our Company, and we dedicate our resources towards:

Serving as good stewards of our environment and natural resources

Improving water availability and resilience for our communities where we operate; reducing GHG emissions through energy conservation and renewable energy initiatives; and reducing operational waste and enhancing our use of returnable, recyclable, or renewable packaging

Enhancing social equity within our industry and communities

Championing the professional development and advancement of women in the beverage alcohol industry and our communities; enhancing economic development and prosperity in disadvantaged communities; and championing an inclusive workplace culture, characterized by diversity in background and thought, which reflects our consumers and the communities where we live and work

Promoting responsible beverage alcohol consumption

Ensuring the responsible promotion and marketing of our products; and empowering adults to make responsible choices in their alcohol (substance) consumption by supporting fact-based education, engagement programs, and policies

Recent Development

SVEDKA Divestiture

On January 6, 2025, we sold the SVEDKA brand and related assets, primarily including inventory and equipment. We received $409.2 million of cash proceeds, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which will be used primarily for general corporate purposes. Prior to the completion of the SVEDKA Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of the SVEDKA brand in the Wine and Spirits segment. We expect to recognize a gain of $250 million to $275 million in connection with this divestiture. This gain will be included within our consolidated results of operations for Fiscal 2025. This transaction supports our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumer.

Divestitures, Acquisitions, and Investments

Beer segment

Mexicali Brewery

In July 2024, we sold the remaining assets classified as held for sale at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

Craft Beer Divestitures

In June 2023, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures. Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations include the results of operations of such craft beer brands through the dates of these divestitures. The Craft Beer Divestitures are consistent with our strategic focus on continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins and enhancements to our results of operations.

Daleville Facility

In May 2023, we sold the Daleville Facility in connection with our decision to exit the craft beer business.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 30


MD&A			Table of Contents

Wine and Spirits segment

Nelson’s Green Brier investment

In October 2024, we purchased the remaining 25% noncontrolling interest in Nelson’s Green Brier, a portfolio of Tennessee-based craft bourbon and whiskey products.

Sea Smoke acquisition

In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

These Wine and Spirits segment activities support our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

Corporate Operations and Other segment

Corporate ventures

As of August 31, 2024, and November 30, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance, for the respective periods.

As of August 31, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance. Investments with a $14.9 million carrying value were written down to $2.6 million, their estimated fair value, resulting in a $12.3 million impairment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for Nine Months 2024. In October 2023, we exited one of these equity method investments in exchange for a note receivable.

Canopy investment

We have an investment in Canopy, a North American cannabis and CPG company providing medical and adult-use cannabis products, which expands our portfolio into adjacent categories.

Exchangeable Shares —

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 $266.2 million carrying value was written down to $142.7 million, its estimated fair value, resulting in a $123.5 million impairment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for Nine Months 2024. 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.

Other Canopy investments —

In April 2023, we extended the maturity of the remaining C$100.0 million principal amount of our then-existing Canopy Debt Securities by exchanging them for the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note. The fair value of the Canopy Debt Securities was $69.6 million as of February 28, 2023. As of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value and, accordingly, the fair value was reduced to zero.

For additional information on this recent development and these divestitures, acquisitions, and investments refer to Notes 4, 5, 7, and 11.

Results of Operations

Financial Highlights

Third Quarter 2025 compared with Third Quarter 2024

•Our results of operations were positively impacted by (i) no longer recognizing equity losses from Canopy’s results following the conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares and (ii) improvements within the Beer segment as a successful execution of cost savings initiatives and a favorable impact from pricing outpaced higher marketing spend as compared to Third Quarter 2024, partially offset by (i) a Third Quarter 2025 impairment of our Exchangeable Shares and (ii) a decline in Wine and Spirits segment net sales.

•Net sales remained relatively flat as a decline in Wine and Spirits net sales led by a decrease in branded shipment volume were offset by an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by the favorable pricing and shipment volume growth.

•Operating income remained relatively flat as the decline in Wine and Spirits segment net sales was offset by (i) lower losses recognized on undesignated commodity derivative contracts for Third Quarter 2025 as compared to Third Quarter 2024 and (ii) improvements within the Beer segment as the successful execution of cost savings initiatives and the favorable pricing outpaced the higher marketing spend.

•Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI increased 21% and 23%, respectively, largely due to lower provision for income taxes and the items discussed above.

Nine Months 2025 compared to Nine Months 2024

•Our results of operations were negatively impacted by the Nine Months 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and a decline in the Wine and Spirits segment driven by a decrease in branded shipment volume, partially offset by (i) no longer recognizing equity losses from Canopy’s results following the conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares, (ii) improvements within the Beer segment driven by 4.6% shipment volume growth and our successful execution of cost savings initiatives, (iii) a Nine Months 2024 impairment of our then-existing Canopy Equity Method


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 32


MD&A			Table of Contents

Investment, (iv) a decrease in unrealized net losses on securities measured at fair value, and (v) a net gain in connection with Exchangeable Shares for the Nine Months 2025.

•Net sales increased 3% largely due to an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by shipment volume growth and favorable impact from pricing, partially offset by a decline in Wine and Spirits net sales led by a decrease in branded shipment volume.

•Operating income decreased 80% largely due to the Nine Months 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by the improvements within the Beer segment resulting from shipment volume growth, lower cost of product sold, driven by the successful execution of cost savings initiatives, and favorable pricing.

•Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI each decreased 78% largely due to the items discussed above, partially offset by a Nine Months 2025 benefit from income taxes as compared to a provision for income taxes for Nine Months 2024.

Comparable Adjustments

Management excludes items that affect comparability 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.

As more fully described herein and in the related Notes, the Comparable Adjustments that impacted comparability in our segment results for each period are as follows:

MD&A			Table of Contents

Cost of product sold

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.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

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.

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 our Wine and Spirits segment.

Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs

We recognized costs in connection with our investments, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Other gains (losses)

We recognized other gains (losses) primarily from (i) a net loss on foreign currency as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments (Nine Months 2025), (ii) losses on the sales of the Daleville Facility and Craft Beer Divestitures (Nine Months 2024), and (iii) recognition of a previously deferred gain upon release of a related indemnity (Nine Months 2024).

Goodwill impairment

We recognized a goodwill impairment in connection with negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business (Nine Months 2025). For additional information, refer to Notes 4, 5, and 9.

Income (loss) from unconsolidated investments

We recognized income (loss) primarily from (i) a net gain (loss) in connection with Exchangeable Shares (Third Quarter 2025, Nine Months 2025), (ii) comparable adjustments to equity in losses from Canopy’s results (Third Quarter 2024, Nine Months 2024), (iii) an impairment of our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment (Nine Months 2024), (iv) unrealized net losses from the changes in fair value of our securities measured at fair value (Nine Months 2025, Third Quarter 2024, Nine Months 2024), (v) impairment of our Exchangeable Shares (Third Quarter 2025, Nine Months 2025), and (vi) impairments of certain other equity method investments. For additional information, refer to Notes 4 and 7.

The increase in Beer net sales is due to (i) $39.2 million of favorable impact from pricing in select markets and (ii) $31.2 million of shipment volume growth, partially offset by $6.5 million of unfavorable product mix primarily from a shift in package types. While our shipment volume growth benefited from continued consumer demand, we believe it was negatively impacted by subdued overall spend and prolonged value seeking behavior among consumers. Additionally, shipments trailed depletions due to normal seasonality and the impact of planned maintenance activities at our breweries.

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is largely driven by (i) a $74.8 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) a $12.2 million decrease in non-branded net sales led by a decline in bulk wine sales, and (iii) a $7.8 million decrease from pricing actions in certain markets, as well as a $2.5 million decrease in contractual distributor payments as compared to Third Quarter 2024, partially offset by $26.4 million of favorable product mix driven by consumer-led premiumization. The decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume is attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, primarily driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, as well as retailer inventory destocking.

Consolidated gross profit	$	1,284.3	$	1,270.6	$	13.7	1	%


			The increase in Beer gross profit is due to (i) the $39.2 million favorable impact from pricing and (ii) $16.5 million of shipment volume growth, partially offset by (i) $14.9 million of increased cost of product sold and (ii) $3.2 million of unfavorable product mix. The higher cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $15.1 million of higher depreciation resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects, (ii) a $9.4 million increase in brewery costs, including compensation and benefits, and (iii) $8.1 million of higher material costs, including malt and aluminum, partially offset by $5.9 million of favorable foreign currency translation benefit and (i) $5.6 million of decreased transportation costs and (ii) $4.1 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to increased production levels as compared to Third Quarter 2024, each driven by efficiency initiatives. To partially offset the increase in cost of product sold we are executing efficiency initiatives focused largely on logistics and procurement that resulted in almost $40 million of cost savings for Third Quarter 2025.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is attributable to a $43.2 million decline in branded wine and spirits shipment volume and the $7.8 million impact from pricing actions in certain markets, as well as the $2.5 million decrease in contractual distributor payments, partially offset by $15.5 million of reduced cost of product sold. The decrease in cost of product sold was largely attributable to lower operational costs, including transportation and warehousing costs, partially offset by increased raw materials costs, including grapes, and unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Third Quarter 2024.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 52.1% for Third Quarter 2025 compared with 51.4% for Third Quarter 2024. This increase was largely due to (i) approximately 80 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing, (ii) approximately 65 basis points of rate growth from lower cost of product sold within the Wine and Spirits segment, and (iii) a favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing 60 basis points, partially offset by (i) approximately 65 basis points of rate decline from unfavorable product mix within the Wine and Spirits segment and (ii) approximately 60 basis points of rate decline from higher cost of product sold within the Beer segment.

			The increase in Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $32.8 million of higher marketing spend primarily led by advertising campaigns to support our high-end imported beer brands, partially offset by $7.5 million of decreased general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower short-term incentive accruals and favorable foreign currency impact as compared to Third Quarter 2024.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to $3.7 million and $2.4 million of decreased general and administrative expenses and marketing spend, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is driven by lower short-term incentive accruals and depreciation expense, partially offset by higher other payroll expenses as compared to Third Quarter 2024. Marketing as a percentage of net sales increased year-over-year driven by support of our largest brands.


			The decrease in Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to lower short-term incentive accruals, partially offset by higher (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) consulting services, (iii) depreciation expense as a result of our June 2024 corporate headquarters relocation, and (iv) other payroll expenses as compared to Third Quarter 2024.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 19.9% for Third Quarter 2025 as compared to 19.2% for Third Quarter 2024. The increase is largely driven by (i) approximately 50 basis points of rate growth from Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses and (ii) approximately 30 basis points of rate growth from Wine and Spirits as the decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales exceeded the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by approximately 10 basis points of rate decline from Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses.

			The decrease in Wine and Spirits operating income is largely attributable to the decline in branded wine and spirits shipment volume and impact from pricing actions in certain markets, partially offset by the lower cost of product sold, as described above.


			As previously discussed, the decrease in Corporate Operations and Other operating loss is largely due to net compensation and benefits impacts.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net remained relatively flat at $104.4 million for Third Quarter 2025 as compared to $104.2 million for Third Quarter 2024 as (i) approximately 5 basis points of higher weighted average interest rates and (ii) a decrease in capitalized interest in connection with the Mexico Beer Projects as compared to the Third Quarter 2024 were offset by approximately $40 million of lower average borrowings. For additional information, refer to Note 8.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased to $44.5 million for Third Quarter 2025 from $130.0 million for Third Quarter 2024. Our effective tax rate for Third Quarter 2025 was 6.6% as compared with 20.0% for Third Quarter 2024. In comparison to prior year, our income taxes were impacted primarily by the net income tax benefit resulting from the reversal of valuation allowances for capital loss carryforwards in connection with the SVEDKA Divestiture. For additional information, refer to Note 9.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI increased to $615.9 million for Third Quarter 2025 from $509.1 million for Third Quarter 2024. This increase of $106.8 million, or 21%, is largely attributable to the lower provision for income taxes as compared to Third Quarter 2024.

The increase in Beer net sales is due to (i) $296.4 million of shipment volume growth and (ii) $124.3 million of favorable impact from pricing in select markets, partially offset by $45.1 million of unfavorable product mix primarily from a shift in package types. While our shipment volume growth benefited from continued consumer demand, we believe it was negatively impacted by subdued overall spend and prolonged value seeking behavior among consumers. We expect shipment volume to generally align with depletion volume for Fiscal 2025.

			The increase in Beer gross profit is primarily due to (i) $158.3 million of shipment volume growth, (ii) the $124.3 million of favorable impact from pricing, and (iii) $37.0 million of reduced cost of product sold, partially offset by $29.9 million of unfavorable product mix. The reduced cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $35.4 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to increased production levels as compared to Nine Months 2024, (ii) $29.2 million of decreased transportation costs, (iii) $13.7 million due to costs related to a voluntary product recall of select kegs for Nine Months 2024, and (iv) $7.5 million of lower material costs, including aluminum, cartons, and lumber, each driven by efficiency initiatives, tempered by higher malt costs, partially offset by (i) $25.9 million of higher depreciation resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects and (ii) a $23.9 million increase in brewery costs, including compensation and benefits. To partially offset the expected increases in cost of product sold we are executing initiatives focused largely on logistics and procurement that resulted in nearly $155 million of cost savings for Nine Months 2025.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is attributable to (i) a $73.7 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume and (ii) $40.1 million of unfavorable product mix from lower-margin net sales, partially offset by (i) $16.1 million from the higher contractual distributor payments and (ii) $4.9 million of reduced cost of product sold. The decrease in cost of product sold was largely attributable to lower operational costs, including short-term incentive accruals and transportation and warehousing costs, partially offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Nine Months 2024 and increased raw materials costs, including grapes.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 52.2% for Nine Months 2025 compared with 50.9% for Nine Months 2024. This increase was largely due to (i) 75 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing, (ii) approximately 45 basis points of rate growth from lower cost of product sold within the Beer segment, (iii) a favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 35 basis points, and (iv) approximately 15 basis points of rate growth from non-branded net sales, partially offset by approximately 45 basis points of rate decline resulting from unfavorable product mix within the Wine and Spirits segment.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased to $311.2 million for Nine Months 2025 as compared to $333.7 million for Nine Months 2024. This decrease of $22.5 million, or 7%, is largely due to (i) approximately $265 million of lower short-term and long-term average borrowings and (ii) an increase in capitalized interest in connection with the Mexico Beer Projects as compared to Nine Months 2024. For additional information, refer to Note 8.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The (provision for) benefit from income taxes increased to $79.7 million for Nine Months 2025 from $(368.4) million for Nine Months 2024. Our effective tax rate for Nine Months 2025 was 30.7% as compared with 21.3% for Nine Months 2024. In comparison to prior year, our income taxes were impacted primarily by:

•a Nine Months 2025 net income tax benefit recognized following the (i) resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods and (ii) reversal of valuation allowances for capital loss carryforwards in connection with the SVEDKA Divestiture; partially offset by

•the net income tax impacts resulting from the (i) non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and (ii) sale of the remaining assets at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

For additional information, refer to Note 9.

We expect our reported effective tax rate for Fiscal 2025 to be in the range of 7% to 9%. This range includes the impact of the SVEDKA Divestiture.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI decreased to $293.9 million for Nine Months 2025 from $1,335.0 million for Nine Months 2024. This decrease of $1,041.1 million, or 78%, is largely attributable to the Nine Months 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by the (i) favorable impact from income (loss) from unconsolidated investments driven by Canopy-related activities, (ii) benefit from income taxes, and (iii) Nine Months 2025 improvements within the Beer segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operating activities. Our ability to consistently generate robust cash flow from our operations is one of our most significant financial strengths; it enables us to invest in our people and our brands, make capital investments and strategic acquisitions, provide a cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock. Our largest use of cash in our operations is for purchasing and carrying inventories and carrying seasonal accounts receivable. Historically, we have used this cash flow to repay our short-term borrowings and fund capital expenditures. Additionally, our commercial paper program is used to fund our short-term borrowing requirements and to maintain our access to the capital markets. We use our short-term borrowings, including our commercial paper program, to support our working capital requirements and capital expenditures, among other things.

We seek to maintain adequate liquidity to meet working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, and repay scheduled principal and interest payments on debt. Absent deterioration of market conditions, we believe that cash flows from operating and financing activities will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, periodic share repurchases, and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

We have an agreement with a financial institution for payment services and to facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program through this participating financial institution. The program is available to certain of our suppliers allowing them the option to manage their cash flow. We are not a party to the agreements between the


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q3 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 42


MD&A			Table of Contents

participating financial institution and the suppliers in connection with the program. Our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. As of November 30, 2024, and February 29, 2024, the amount payable to this participating financial institution for suppliers who voluntarily participate in the supply chain finance program was $0.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and was included in accounts payable within our consolidated balance sheets. We account for payments made under the supply chain finance program the same as our other accounts payable, as a reduction to our cash flow from operating activities.

The $38.1 million net change in operating assets and liabilities was largely driven by lower (i) accrued expenses for the Beer segment driven by the timing of marketing accruals and (ii) inventory levels for the Beer segment driven by higher demand for our products. These changes were partially offset by higher (i) accounts payable for the Beer segment resulting from the timing of payments and the growth of our beer business and (ii) inventory levels for the Wine and Spirits segment led by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, as well as retailer inventory destocking. Additionally, net cash provided by operating activities was negatively impacted by higher Nine Months 2025 income tax payments following the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments as compared to Nine Months 2024.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $1,098.2 million for Nine Months 2025 from $929.9 million for Nine Months 2024. This increase of $168.3 million, or 18%, was primarily due to a $151.2 million

General

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of November 30, 2024, consisted of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from calendar 2025 to calendar 2050.

Additionally, 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.

We do not have purchase commitments from buyers for our commercial paper and, therefore, our ability to issue commercial paper is subject to market demand. If the commercial paper market is not available to us for any reason when commercial paper borrowings mature, we will utilize unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 Credit Agreement to repay commercial paper borrowings. We do not expect that fluctuations in demand for commercial paper will affect our liquidity given our borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility.

We had the following remaining borrowing capacity available under our 2022 Credit Agreement:


	November 30, 2024		December 31, 2024
(in millions)
Revolving credit facility (1)	$	1,347.2	$	1,489.2

(1)Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under our 2022 Credit Agreement and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program (excluding unamortized discount) of $891.5 million and $749.5 million as of November 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The financial institutions participating in our 2022 Credit Agreement have complied with prior funding requests and we believe they will comply with any future funding requests. However, there can be no assurances that any particular financial institution will continue to do so.

As of November 30, 2024, we and our subsidiaries were subject to covenants that are contained in our 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, both as defined in our 2022 Credit Agreement. As of November 30, 2024, under our 2022 Credit Agreement, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net leverage ratio was 4.0x.

Our indentures relating to our outstanding senior notes contain certain covenants, including, but not limited to: (i) a limitation on liens on certain assets, (ii) a limitation on certain sale and leaseback transactions, and (iii) restrictions on mergers, consolidations, and the transfer of all or substantially all of our assets to another person.

As of November 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants under our 2022 Credit Agreement and our indentures, and have met all debt payment obligations.

For further discussion and presentation of our borrowings and available sources of borrowing, refer to Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 8.

Common Stock Dividends

On January 8, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.01 per share of Class A Stock and $0.91 per share of Class 1 Stock payable on February 21, 2025, to stockholders of record of each class as of the close of business on February 7, 2025.

We currently expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock in the future, but such payments are subject to approval of our Board of Directors and are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report as supplemented by the additional factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in this Form 10-Q.

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our publicly traded common stock of up to $2.0 billion under the 2021 Authorization and an additional repurchase of up to $2.0 billion under the 2023 Authorization. The 2021 Authorization was fully utilized during Third Quarter 2025, through open market transactions.

As of November 30, 2024, total shares repurchased under the 2021 Authorization and the 2023 Authorization are as follows:


			Class A Stock
	Repurchase Authorization		Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased		Number of Shares Repurchased
(in millions, except share data)
2021 Authorization	$	2,000.0	$	2,000.0	8,337,547
2023 Authorization	$	2,000.0	$	54.4	230,177

Share repurchases under the 2023 Authorization may be accomplished at management’s discretion from time to time based on market conditions, our cash and debt position, and other factors as determined by management. Shares may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions. We may fund future share repurchases with cash generated from operations and/or proceeds from borrowings. Any repurchased shares will become treasury shares, including shares previously repurchased under the 2021 Authorization and the 2023 Authorization.

We currently expect to continue to repurchase shares in the future, but such repurchases are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report as supplemented by the additional factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in this Form 10-Q.

For additional information, refer to Note 17 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 11.

Capital Expenditures

Management reviews the capital expenditure program periodically and modifies it as required to meet current and projected future business needs. We now plan to spend $1.3 billion for capital expenditures in Fiscal 2025, including $1.0 billion for the Beer segment associated primarily with the Mexico Beer Projects. The remaining planned Fiscal 2025 capital expenditures continue to consist of improvements to existing operating facilities and replacements of existing equipment and/or buildings.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a result of our global operating, investment, acquisition, divestiture, and financing activities, we are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. To manage the volatility relating to these risks, we periodically purchase and/or sell derivative instruments including foreign currency forward and option contracts, commodity swap contracts, interest rate swap contracts, and Pre-issuance hedge contracts. We use derivative instruments to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates, as well as to hedge economic exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign currency and commodity price risk

Foreign currency derivative instruments are or may be used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, forecasted foreign currency denominated sales/purchases to/from third parties as well as intercompany sales/purchases, intercompany principal and interest payments, and in connection with investments, acquisitions, or divestitures outside the U.S. As of November 30, 2024, we had exposures to foreign currency risk primarily related to the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, euro, and New Zealand dollar. Approximately 100% of our balance sheet exposures and 92% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining three months of Fiscal 2025 were hedged as of November 30, 2024.

Commodity derivative instruments are or may be used to hedge forecasted commodity purchases from third parties as either economic hedges or accounting hedges. As of November 30, 2024, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging include aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. Approximately 88% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining three months of Fiscal 2025 were hedged as of November 30, 2024.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of foreign exchange rates and commodity prices reflecting the impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the applicable market. The volatility of the applicable rates and prices is dependent on many factors which cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy. Gains or losses from the revaluation or settlement of the related underlying positions would substantially offset such gains or losses on the derivative instruments. The aggregate notional value, estimated fair value, and sensitivity analysis for our open foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are summarized as follows:


	Aggregate Notional Value				Fair Value, Net Asset (Liability)				Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value – Hypothetical 10% Adverse Change
	November 30, 2024		November 30, 2023		November 30, 2024		November 30, 2023		November 30, 2024		November 30, 2023
(in millions)
Foreign currency contracts	$	3,303.3	$	2,812.2	$	(25.0)	$	316.5	$	210.7	$	(185.1)
Commodity derivative contracts	$	337.9	$	383.9	$	(15.9)	$	(21.8)	$	28.6	$	31.4

Interest rate risk

The estimated fair value of our fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign currency risk. In addition, we also have variable interest rate debt outstanding (primarily SOFR-based), certain of which includes a fixed margin subject to the same risks identified for our fixed interest rate debt.

As of November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023, we had $75.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, of outstanding cash flow designated, Pre-issuance hedge contracts designed to minimize interest rate volatility on our future debt issuances. There were no cash flow designated or undesignated interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of November 30, 2024, or November 30, 2023.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of interest rates reflecting the impact of a hypothetical 1% increase in the prevailing interest rates. The volatility of the applicable rates is dependent on many factors which cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy.

The aggregate notional value, estimated fair value, and sensitivity analysis for our outstanding fixed-rate debt, including current maturities, are summarized as follows:


	Aggregate Notional Value				Fair Value, Net Asset (Liability)				Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value – Hypothetical 1% Rate Increase
	November 30, 2024		November 30, 2023		November 30, 2024		November 30, 2023		November 30, 2024		November 30, 2023
(in millions)
Fixed interest rate debt	$	10,759.6	$	11,320.0	$	(10,075.5)	$	(10,320.7)	$	(562.7)	$	(599.2)


Pre-issuance hedge contracts	$	75.0	$	125.0	$	3.1	$	(0.1)	$	5.5	$	(3.2)

A 1% hypothetical change in the prevailing interest rates would have increased interest expense on our variable interest rate debt by $3.7 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2024, and November 30, 2023, respectively.

For additional discussion on our market risk, refer to Notes 3 and 4.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal control over financial reporting

In connection with the foregoing evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, no changes were identified in the Company’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For information regarding Legal Proceedings, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to information discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report. The risk factors associated with our business have not materially changed compared to the risk factors disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report except for the updated risk factor below. The risk factor described below and the additional risks described in the 2024 Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations in future periods. The following risk factor is organized under a relevant heading; however, it may be relevant to other headings as well.

Strategic Risks

Dependence upon trademarks and proprietary rights, failure to protect our intellectual property rights

Our future success depends significantly on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. We have been granted numerous trademark registrations and use certain trademarks under license covering our brands and products, and we have filed, and expect to continue to file or have filed on our behalf, trademark applications seeking to protect newly developed brands and products. We cannot be sure that trademark registrations will be issued with respect to any of such trademark applications. We could also, by omission, fail to timely renew or protect a trademark and our competitors could challenge, invalidate, or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us.

Our subsidiaries CB Brand Strategies, LLC, Crown Imports LLC, and Compañía Cervecera de Coahuila, S. de R.L. de C.V. were named as defendants in a lawsuit originally filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 15, 2021, and most recently amended in March 2022, by Cervecería Modelo de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Trademarks Grupo Modelo, S. de R.L. de C.V. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that our sub-license of the trademarks for our Mexican beer brands should not permit us to use the Corona brand name on our Corona Hard Seltzer or the Modelo brand name on our Modelo Ranch Water. At a trial in March 2023, the jury returned a unanimous verdict in our favor on all counts in the plaintiffs’ complaint, and the court entered judgment dismissing the complaint. In May 2023, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In March 2024, the Second Circuit issued an order affirming the judgment of the district court. Plaintiffs did not petition the U.S. Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari prior to the June 24, 2024 deadline. Consequently, the district court’s judgment dismissing this case is final and no longer subject to appeal.

We have been and may continue to be subject to other litigation related to our trademarks and intellectual property rights. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable developments and resolutions could occur. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters or our failure to otherwise protect our intellectual property rights as well as the costs associated with such activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

Share repurchases for the periods included herein were effected through open market transactions and exclude the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA. In November 2024, we utilized the remaining $11.9 million available under the 2021 Authorization to repurchase 50,740 shares of Class A Stock excluding the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA, through open market transactions, thereby completing the 2021 Authorization.

(2)In November 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock under the 2023 Authorization. The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which the 2023 Authorization would expire. Share repurchases for the periods included herein were effected through open market transactions and exclude the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA.

Item 5. Other Information.

10b5-1 Trading Plans

On November 14, 2024, William A. Newlands, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, adopted a 10b5-1 Trading Plan that provides for the potential sale of (i) 100% of the Net Shares Received upon the vesting of 12,772 restricted stock units and up to 19,670 performance stock units in May 2025, and (ii) the exercise and sale of up to 75,608 stock options, in each case in amounts and subject to certain price limitations set forth in the plan. The 19,670 performance stock units reflect a payout at the maximum level for this award; however, any actual payout of shares may be less than this amount and will be based on the level of achievement of the performance criteria associated with the award. The 10b5-1 Trading Plan was adopted during an open insider trading window, and no sales will commence under the plan until completion of the required cooling off period. The 10b5-1 Trading Plan terminates on November 11, 2025, unless terminated sooner in accordance with its terms.

During the three months ended November 30, 2024, none of our other directors or officers (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
