“Despite a softer consumer demand backdrop in fiscal 2025, we delivered another year of Enterprise net sales growth and substantial comparable operating margin improvement, as well as double-digit comparable EPS growth. These results allowed us to once again be recognized as the #1 growth leader among large CPG companies in calendar year 2024 in Circana’s annual U.S. CPG Growth Leaders ranking. Looking ahead, in a tough socioeconomic environment we are taking decisive actions designed to continue to support our industry-leading Beer Business, reset our cost base, and redefine our portfolio. We remain focused on: driving distribution gains, disciplined innovation, and increased marketing investments in our Beer Business; enhancing efficiency across our enterprise; and repositioning our Wine and Spirits Business to be entirely in higher growth, higher-end segments." - Bill Newlands, President and Chief Executive Officer | “In fiscal 2025, our strong cash flow generation enabled us to continue to deliver against our disciplined capital allocation priorities. We maintained our comparable net leverage ratio under 3.0x, returned nearly $1.9 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, and continued to invest in the business mainly through our Beer brewery expansion. We remain committed to these balanced priorities as we deploy the approximately $9 billion of operating cash flow we expect to generate between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2028, including through the use of our new total $4 billion share repurchase authorization aligned with that period.” - Garth Hankinson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | |||||||||||||

Free Cash Flow Guidance Free cash flow, as defined in the reconciliation below, is considered a liquidity measure and is considered to provide useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated, which can then be used, after required debt service and dividend payments, for other general corporate purposes. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flow from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||||
