| Financial Information


 
|W O R T H R E A C H I N G F O R | 14 Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation tables below, are provided because management uses this information in evaluating the results of our core operations and/or internal goal setting. In addition, we believe this information provides our investors valuable insight on underlying business trends and results in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Operating Income Guidance Guidance Range for the Year Ending February 28, 2026 Actual for the Year Ended February 28, 2025 Percentage Change (in millions) Operating income (GAAP) $ 2,719 $ 2,790 $ 354.9 666 % 686 % Comparable adjustments (1) 145 145 3,120.0 Divestitures (2) — — (244.7) Comparable operating income (Non-GAAP) $ 2,864 $ 2,935 $ 3,230.2 (11)% (9)% (1) Comparable adjustments include: (3) Estimated for the Year Ending February 28, 2026 Actual for the Year Ended February 28, 2025 Assets held for sale impairment and related expenses $ 52 $ 478.2 2025 Restructuring Initiative $ 41 $ 49.7 Transition services agreements activity $ 24 $ 22.6 Net (gain) loss on undesignated commodity derivative contracts $ 18 $ 0.3 Strategic business reconfiguration costs $ 6 $ 40.3 Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs $ 2 $ 1.2 Flow through of inventory step-up $ 2 $ 10.2 (Gain) loss on sale of business $ 1 $ (266.0) Settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts $ (3) $ (26.8) Goodwill and intangible assets impairment $ — $ 2,797.7 Other (gains) losses $ — $ 12.8 (2) Amount reflects gross profit less marketing attributable to (i) the SVEDKA Divestiture for the period March 1, 2024, through January 5, 2025 and (ii) the 2025 Wine Divestitures for the period June 2, 2024, through February 28, 2025. (3) May not sum due to rounding.


 
|W O R T H R E A C H I N G F O R | 15 Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures Assets held for sale impairment and related expenses Largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures we recognized contract liabilities and inventory obsolescence expenses, partially offset by changes in net assets held for sale. 2025 Restructuring Initiative We recognized costs in connection with an enterprise-wide cost savings and restructuring initiative designed to help optimize the performance of our business (“2025 Restructuring Initiative”). 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. 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. Strategic business reconfiguration costs We recognized costs in connection with certain activities which are intended to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure. Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs We recognized costs in connection with our acquisitions, divestitures, and investments. 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. Gain (loss) on sale of business We recognized a net gain from the SVEDKA Divestiture. Goodwill impairment and intangible assets impairment We recognized goodwill and intangible assets impairments in connection with continued 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. Other (gains) losses We primarily recognized a net loss on foreign currency as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments, partially offset by decreases in estimated fair values of contingent liabilities associated with prior period acquisitions.

The comparable adjustments and comparable EPS are calculated on a fully dilutive basis.


 
|W O R T H R E A C H I N G F O R | 17 Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures 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. Guidance Range for the Year Ending February 28, 2026 (in millions) Net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) $ 2,500 $ 2,600 Purchase of property, plant, and equipment (1,200) (1,200) Free cash flow (Non-GAAP) $ 1,300 $ 1,400
