CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

AUGUST 31, 2025

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2025 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

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 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

2025 Wine Divestitures

On June 2, 2025, we sold and, in certain instances, exclusively licensed the trademarks of a portion of our wine and spirits business, primarily centered around our then-owned mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities. The net cash proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures were used for repayment of debt (see Note 11). Prior to the completion of the 2025 Wine Divestitures, we recorded the results of operations of the divested and exclusively licensed brands in the Wine and Spirits segment. The following table summarizes the net loss recognized in connection with this transaction:


(in millions)
Cash received from buyer	$	846.5
Net assets sold	(859.7)
Direct costs to sell	(2.5)
Loss on sale of business (1)	$	(15.7)

(1)Included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our consolidated results of operations.

SVEDKA Divestiture

On January 6, 2025, we sold the SVEDKA brand and related assets, primarily including inventory and equipment. The net cash proceeds from the SVEDKA Divestiture were used for general corporate purposes, including funding share repurchases, capital expenditures, and repayment of debt. Prior to the SVEDKA Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of the SVEDKA brand in the Wine and Spirits segment.

Mexicali Brewery sale

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

3. RESTRUCTURING

The 2025 Restructuring Initiative is an enterprise-wide cost savings and restructuring initiative designed to help optimize the performance of our business, including through enhanced organizational efficiency and optimized expenditures across our organization. The majority of the work associated with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative is expected to be completed within the year ending February 28, 2026, and is estimated to result in $80 million to $100 million of cumulative pre-tax costs once all phases are fully implemented. This range is estimated to be comprised of (i) employee termination costs (60%) and (ii) consulting services as well as other costs, which primarily include contract termination costs (40%).

We recognized pre-tax restructuring costs in connection with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative as follows:


	Results of Operations Location	For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2025		For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2025
(in millions)



Consulting services	Selling, general, and administrative expenses	$	21.5	$	8.2
Other costs	Selling, general, and administrative expenses	0.1		0.1

6. 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 2025 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2025.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 9


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

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


	August 31, 2025		February 28, 2025
(in millions)
Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	$	2,776.6	$	2,843.6

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts	$	487.2	$	378.2
Commodity derivative contracts	$	327.1	$	322.1

Net investment hedge contracts

In April 2025, we entered into cross-currency swaps to hedge portions of our net investment in certain of our non-U.S. operations against fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and mature between April 2028 and April 2029. The changes in the fair value of these swaps are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. The gain or loss will be subsequently reclassified into net earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold, liquidated, or substantially liquidated. We assess the effectiveness of our cross-currency swaps using the spot method. Under this method, the periodic interest settlements are recorded directly in earnings through interest expense, net. Accordingly, we recorded interest income of $0.8 million and $0.5 million during the six months and three months ended August 31, 2025, respectively.

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 August 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $0.6 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2025, 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 7):

7. 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,


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 12


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

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:

Derivative instruments

Our derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forward and option contracts, commodity swap contracts, cross-currency swap contracts, interest rate swap contracts, 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 August 31, 2025, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,292.4 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $9,677.9 million. As of February 28, 2025, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,691.0 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $9,999.0 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 August 31, 2025, and February 28, 2025, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Recurring basis measurements

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

Equity method investments	Other assets	—		—		—		2.1
Total		$	—	$	—	$	564.8	$	2,252.1

Assets held for sale and related net assets

For the three months ended May 31, 2025, largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures, then-existing assets held for sale and related net assets were adjusted to their current estimated fair value of $897.7 million, less costs to sell, resulting in a $52.1 million net loss. This net loss was included in asset impairment and related expenses within our consolidated results for the six months ended August 31, 2025. Our estimated fair value of the then-existing assets held for sale was largely based on the expected proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures as of May 31, 2025.

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 then-owned 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


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 14


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

$2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill impairment within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2024. See Notes 8 and 12 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 of the reporting unit 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.

Equity method investments

As of August 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, 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.

8. GOODWILL

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


	Beer		Wine and Spirits		Consolidated

(1)Purchase accounting allocations associated with the Sea Smoke acquisition.

(2)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 then-owned mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook and financial projections for this reporting unit. Based on the aforementioned factors, we performed quantitative assessments that led to goodwill impairments which resulted in the carrying value being written down to zero.

(3)Amount was based on the relative fair value of the portion of the business 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.

10. OTHER ASSETS

The major components of other assets are as follows:

Exchangeable Shares	21.2		21.2
Other	155.5		132.9
	$	1,237.2	$	1,061.7

Equity method investments

We acquired several investments which are being accounted for under the equity method, largely in connection with prior Wine and Spirits segment acquisitions. The primary investment consists of Opus One Winery, a 50% owned joint venture arrangement.

Other investments in debt and equity securities

We have multiple investments through our corporate venture capital function in debt and equity securities. As of August 31, 2025, and February 28, 2025, we evaluated certain investments, primarily driven by business underperformance and solvency concerns, and concluded they should be written down to zero.

Exchangeable Shares

Following the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares and exchange a portion of the principal amount of a promissory note issued to us by Canopy, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 16


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

$83.3 million net gain in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the six months ended August 31, 2024. The fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy’s common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy’s common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As the Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for the Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method. As of February 28, 2025, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the continued decline in Canopy’s common share price. We concluded that an impairment did exist, and accordingly, the Exchangeable Shares were written down to their estimated fair value of $21.2 million. The estimated fair value was determined using the same valuation model as of the date of conversion and exchange as noted above. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

2025 Credit Agreement

In April 2025, the Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into the 2025 Restatement Agreement that amended and restated our then-existing credit facility (as amended and restated by the 2025 Restatement Agreement, the 2025 Credit Agreement). The principal changes effected by the 2025 Restatement Agreement were (i) refinancing the existing $2.25 billion revolving credit facility, (ii) extending its maturity to April 28, 2030, and (iii) refining certain negative covenants.

2025 Term Credit Agreement

In May 2025, the Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into the 2025 Term Credit Agreement. The 2025 Term Credit Agreement provides for a six-month delayed draw $500.0 million term loan facility, available in up to two draws. The balance is due and payable two years after the initial funding date, if any, occurs. The proceeds, if drawn, from the 2025 Term Credit Agreement are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt.

12. INCOME TAXES

Overview

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2025, was 27.6% of tax expense compared with 30.0% of tax benefit for the six months ended August 31, 2024. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2025, was 37.9% of tax expense compared with 11.4% of tax benefit for the three months ended August 31, 2024.

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2025, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to changes in valuation allowances related to net operating losses and tax legislation updates, partially offset by (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

For the six months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses, 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 August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment.

Tax Legislation

OB3 Act

On July 4, 2025, the OB3 Act was signed into U.S. law. The OB3 Act extends and modifies several provisions originally introduced under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, while also implementing additional changes to U.S. federal tax law. Key provisions of the OB3 Act include (i) the permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying assets, (ii) the elimination of the requirement to capitalize and amortize U.S.-based research and experimental expenditures, allowing for immediate expensing, (iii) changes to the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, and (iv) modifications to the taxation of foreign earnings and other international income tax provisions. The OB3 Act contains multiple effective dates, with certain provisions taking effect beginning in calendar year 2025 and others phased in through calendar year 2027.

We have performed an initial evaluation of the impact of the OB3 Act on our consolidated financial statements, including the effects on our annual effective tax rate, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and cash flows. Based on this initial analysis and activities performed in response to the legislation, we believe there will be a negative impact on our effective tax rate for Fiscal 2026, primarily driven by the changes to the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense.

Additionally, for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2025, we recognized a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset related to prior year interest expense limitations. We will continue to assess the implications of the OB3 Act, and our income tax provision may continue to be impacted as additional clarifications or interpretive guidance related to the OB3 Act is released.

Pillar Two

The OECD 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.

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

Net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI (hereafter referred to as “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. The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for Class A Stock are as follows:


	For the Six Months Ended August 31,				For the Three Months Ended August 31,
	2025		2024		2025		2024

16. 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 comprised of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate communications, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy, executive management, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public affairs, as well as our investments such as those 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. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. 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. Our CODM utilizes segment comparable operating income (loss) performance in deciding how to deploy capital in line with disciplined and balanced priorities. These priorities largely include investing in our people and our brands, making capital investments


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 25


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

and strategic acquisitions, providing a cash dividend program, and from time-time time, repurchasing shares of our common stock. Our CODM also monitors budgeted versus actual results in assessing segment operating performance and understanding underlying business trends.

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, collectively referred to as comparable operating income (loss). We evaluate segment operating performance based on comparable operating income (loss) of the respective business units.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described for the Company in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. Segment information is as follows:

17. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED

Income taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued a standard to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This standard requires public companies to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (ii) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and disaggregated by material individual jurisdictions, and (iii) income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. 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.

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 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 2025 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, including our 2025 Restructuring Initiative, 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 August 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, and six months ended August 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024. 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 Modelo Especial, Corona Extra, Pacifico, Robert Mondavi Winery, Kim Crawford, 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 also the second-largest beer company and have the #1 beer brand, Modelo Especial, in dollar sales in the U.S. We continued to strengthen our leadership position in the U.S. beer market as the #1 dollar share gainer in the high-end and the overall


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 30


MD&A			Table of Contents

U.S. beer market. Within wine and spirits, we have implemented a multi-year strategy that repositioned this business to a portfolio of exclusively higher-end brands that we believe will generate higher growth and higher margins, aligned to our focus on consumer-led premiumization trends, and we continue to progressively 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.

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 comprised of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate communications, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy, executive management, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public affairs, as well as our investments such as those 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 then-owned 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 Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025. See Notes 7, 8, and 12 for further discussion.

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 environmental, social, and governance 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 strong 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 our strategy to address consumer-led premiumization, product, and purchasing trends, which we anticipate will continue to drive faster growth rates relative to the industry. To continue capitalizing on


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 31


MD&A			Table of Contents

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. Our ongoing digital acceleration initiatives are aimed at driving results by enhancing our technology capabilities in key areas. In Fiscal 2026, we continue to focus on end-to-end digital supply chain planning, logistics, procurement, revenue growth management, and consumer insights and analytics. Additionally, we believe our continued focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet provides a solid financial foundation to support our broader strategic initiatives.

Our business strategy for the Beer segment focuses on upholding our leadership position in the U.S. beer market, including as a leader in 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. In Fiscal 2026, we intend to increase distribution for key brands, optimize growth through differentiated brand positioning, price pack architecture, and market prioritization as well as continue to invest in the next phase of modular capacity additions necessary to support our anticipated future growth expectations. Expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue under our Mexico Beer Projects. Additionally, 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.

Our business strategy for the Wine and Spirits segment continues to focus on delivering growth and improving margins beyond Fiscal 2026 by driving our higher-end brands and operating efficiencies. We have repositioned this business to a portfolio of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits brands that we believe will generate higher growth and higher margins. We remain a key supplier in U.S. 3-tier brick-and-mortar distribution. In addition, we are advancing our aim to become a global, omni-channel competitor in line with evolving consumer preferences as we continue our efforts to progressively expand into international markets, DTC channels (including hospitality), and 3-tier eCommerce.

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 ratios for (i) comparable net leverage and (ii) dividend payout; 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 and may continue to be affected by the evolving consumer demand environment largely driven by what we believe to be ongoing socioeconomic factors. These factors may include subdued spend, depressed sentiment, value-seeking behaviors, and reductions in the discretionary income available to purchase our products among consumers, elevated unemployment, changing prices, inflation, other unfavorable global and regional economic conditions, demographic trends in the U.S., global supply chain disruptions and constraints, and geopolitical events, including the impact of military conflicts.

Recent developments in international trade relations, including significant changes in U.S. trade policy and actions which include threatened, new, and increased tariffs on other countries and retaliatory tariffs and actions imposed on certain U.S. goods have produced heightened uncertainty with respect to trade and tariff policies and regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries, which could continue to alter the global trade environment. For example, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on product imports, including on raw and packaging materials, from certain countries (such as Mexico, the European Union including Italy, and New Zealand) and certain other countries have implemented tariffs on U.S. goods, such as the tariffs on certain product imports originating from the U.S. imposed by the Canadian government, although some of these tariffs were subsequently modified or delayed.

MD&A			Table of Contents

We expect some or all of these market conditions and their impacts to continue in Fiscal 2026 which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We intend to continue to monitor the evolving consumer demand and socioeconomic environments and their impacts on our business. In addition, we have implemented the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, which is an enterprise-wide cost savings and restructuring initiative designed to help optimize the performance of our business, including through enhanced organizational efficiency and optimized expenditures across our organization. We also intend to continue our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately respond to softer consumer demand trends or fully mitigate rising costs, including as a result of new or increased tariffs, through increased selling prices, cost, productivity, efficiency, and inventory management initiatives, optimized marketing plans, and/or our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs. Furthermore, to the extent severe weather events that impact our business, such as wildfires, droughts, floods, extreme heat, and/or late frosts, or other weather conditions that constrain purchasing occasions for our consumers, continue to occur or accelerate in future periods, it could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

2025 Restructuring Initiative

We have implemented the 2025 Restructuring Initiative which is expected to yield over $200 million in net annualized cost savings by Fiscal 2028. The majority of the work associated with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative is expected to be completed within Fiscal 2026 and is estimated to result in $80 million to $100 million of cumulative pre-tax costs once all phases are fully implemented. In connection with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, we recognized $21.6 million of pre-tax restructuring costs in Six Months 2026 and $71.3 million of cumulative pre-tax costs since the inception of this initiative. These costs were included in selling, general, and administrative costs within our consolidated results. For additional information on the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, refer to Note 3.

Divestitures, Acquisitions, and Investments

Beer segment

Mexicali Brewery sale

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

Wine and Spirits segment

2025 Wine Divestitures

On June 2, 2025, we sold and, in certain instances, exclusively licensed the trademarks of a portion of our wine and spirits business, primarily centered around our then-owned mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities for $846.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The net cash proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures were used for the repayment of debt. Prior to the completion of the 2025 Wine Divestitures, we recorded the results of operations of the divested and exclusively licensed brands in the Wine and Spirits segment.

SVEDKA Divestiture

On January 6, 2025, we sold the SVEDKA brand and related assets, primarily including inventory and equipment. The net cash proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including funding share repurchases, capital expenditures, and repayment of debt. Prior to the completion of the SVEDKA Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of the SVEDKA brand in the 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.

MD&A			Table of Contents

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 investments

As of August 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, 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.

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

In April 2024, we elected to convert our Canopy common shares and exchange a portion of the principal amount of a promissory note issued to us by Canopy. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $83.3 million net gain based on the fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange. This net gain is included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for Six Months 2025.

As of February 28, 2025, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the continued decline in Canopy’s common share price. We concluded that an impairment did exist, and accordingly, the Exchangeable Shares were written down to their estimated fair value of $21.2 million.

For additional information on these divestitures, acquisitions, and investments refer to Notes 2, 10, and 11.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Highlights

References to organic throughout the following discussion exclude the impacts of the 2025 Wine Divestitures and the SVEDKA Divestiture, collectively referred to as the “Wine and Spirits Divestitures,” where appropriate.

Second Quarter 2026 compared to Second Quarter 2025

Net sales decreased 15% due to (i) the loss of net sales as a result of the Wine and Spirits Divestitures, (ii) a decrease in Beer net sales driven primarily by a shipment volume decline, partially offset by a favorable impact from pricing, and (iii) a decline in organic Wine and Spirits net sales driven by changes in financial and volume related contractual obligations with distributors.

Operating income increased 171% largely due to a Second Quarter 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and a successful execution of efficiency and cost optimization initiatives within the Beer segment, partially offset by the (i) loss of net sales as a result of the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and (ii) declines in Beer and organic Wine and Spirits segments net sales.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 34


MD&A			Table of Contents

Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI increased 139% and 140%, respectively, largely due to the items discussed above, partially offset by a Second Quarter 2026 provision for income taxes as compared to a benefit from income taxes for Second Quarter 2025.

Six Months 2026 compared to Six Months 2025

Net sales decreased 10% due to (i) the loss of net sales as a result of the Wine and Spirits Divestitures, (ii) a decrease in Beer net sales driven primarily by a shipment volume decline, partially offset by a favorable impact from pricing, and (iii) a decline in organic Wine and Spirits net sales driven by changes in financial and volume related contractual obligations with distributors.

Operating income increased 652% largely due to the Six Months 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and a successful execution of efficiency and cost optimization initiatives within the Beer segment, partially offset by the (i) loss of net sales as a result of the Wine and Spirits Divestitures, (ii) declines in Beer and organic Wine and Spirits segments net sales, and (iii) losses associated with asset impairment and related expenses.

Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI increased 405% and 414%, respectively, largely due to the items discussed above, partially offset by (i) a Six Months 2026 provision for income taxes as compared to a benefit from income taxes for Six Months 2025 and (ii) a Six Months 2025 net gain in connection with Exchangeable Shares.

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:

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.

Strategic business reconfiguration costs

We recognized costs primarily in connection with losses on write-downs of excess inventory resulting from our initiatives to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within our Wine and Spirits segment (Second Quarter 2026, Six Months 2026).

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

Gain (loss) on sale of business

We recognized a net loss from the sales of businesses largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures (Second Quarter 2026, Six Months 2026).

Transition services agreements activity

Depletions								(2.7	%)

The decrease in Beer net sales is largely due to a $219.3 million decrease in shipment volume, partially offset by $40.6 million of favorable impact from pricing in select markets. We believe our net sales continue to be suppressed by the socioeconomic factors discussed above. Additionally, shipments trailed depletions as distributors rebalanced inventory levels during Second Quarter 2026.

(2)Includes adjustments to remove volumes associated with the 2025 Wine Divestitures for the period June 2, 2024, through August 31, 2024.

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is due to $220.5 million from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures that are no longer part of our business and a $32.2 million decrease in organic net sales. The decrease in organic net sales is largely driven by (i) $12.3 million of unfavorable product mix, (ii) a $12.1 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, and (iii) an $8.7 million decrease in contractual distributor payments as compared to Second Quarter 2025. The decrease in unfavorable product mix and branded wine and spirits shipment volume are both attributable to our U.S. wholesale and international markets driven by the continued change in cadence of shipments to better align with ongoing weaker consumer demand. Additionally, we believe our branded wine and spirits shipment volume was negatively impacted by both tariffs imposed by the U.S. government and by retaliatory tariffs and actions in certain international markets.

Consolidated gross profit	$	1,310.0	$	1,511.8	$	(201.8)	(13	%)


			The decrease in Beer gross profit is largely due to (i) a $118.3 million decline in shipment volume and (ii) $42.9 million of increased cost of product sold, partially offset by the $35.8 million favorable impact from pricing. The increase in cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $22.6 million in tariffs on aluminum cans, (ii) $10.0 million of unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Second Quarter 2025, (iii) $8.0 million of increased transportation costs, and (iv) $6.7 million of higher depreciation resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects. To partially offset the increase in cost of product sold we are executing efficiency and cost optimization initiatives focused largely on procurement and logistics that resulted in nearly $65 million of net benefit for Second Quarter 2026.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 38


MD&A			Table of Contents


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is due to $83.4 million from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures that is no longer part of our business and a $25.8 million decrease in organic gross profit. The decrease in organic gross profit is largely attributable to (i) $10.1 million of unfavorable product mix, (ii) the $8.7 million decrease in contractual distributor payments, (iii) a $5.2 million decline in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, and (iv) a $2.4 million increase in cost of product sold. The increase in cost of product sold is largely attributable to higher Second Quarter 2026 short-term incentive accruals and unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Second Quarter 2025.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 52.8% for Second Quarter 2026 compared with 51.8% for Second Quarter 2025. This increase was largely driven by rate growth from (i) a change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 130 basis points, (ii) 125 basis points driven by divestitures of lower-margin brands, and (iii) Beer pricing, which contributed rate growth of approximately 70 basis points. These increases were partially offset by (i) approximately 160 basis points of rate decline from higher cost of product sold within the Beer segment, (ii) approximately 20 basis points from shipment volume decline within the Beer segment, and (iii) approximately 15 basis points each of unfavorable product mix shift and lower contractual distributor payments both within the Wine and Spirits segment.

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses	$	436.0	$	491.2	$	(55.2)	(11	%)


			Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses remained relatively flat as $2.8 million of decreased marketing spend was offset by $2.5 million of increased general and administrative expenses. Marketing as a percentage of net sales increased year-over-year to support our high-end imported beer brands. The increase in general and administrative expenses was driven largely by unfavorable foreign currency impact.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to $16.0 million and $2.2 million of decreased marketing spend and general and administrative expenses, respectively. The decrease in marketing spend is primarily driven by our smaller portfolio of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits brands, however, as a percentage of net sales, it increased year-over-year driven by support of our largest brands. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was largely driven by cost savings measures as a result of the 2025 Restructuring Initiative.


			The decrease in Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to a decrease in compensation and benefits, driven by lower (i) short-term incentive accruals, (ii) headcount resulting from the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, and (iii) stock-based compensation expense as compared to Second Quarter 2025, partially offset by a Second Quarter 2025 tax credit related to our June 2024 corporate headquarters relocation.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 17.6% for Second Quarter 2026 as compared to 16.8% for Second Quarter 2025. The increase is driven by (i) approximately 125 basis points of unfavorable impact from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and (ii) approximately 105 basis points of rate growth as the decline in Beer net sales exceeded the decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses, partially offset by (i) a favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 75 basis points of rate decline and

(ii) approximately 40 basis points of rate decline from lower selling, general, and administrative expenses in both the Wine and Spirits and Corporate Operations and Other segments.

			The decrease in Beer operating income is largely attributable to the decline in shipment volume and the unfavorable impacts from tariffs on aluminum cans and fixed cost absorption, partially offset by the favorable impacts from pricing and efficiency and cost optimization initiatives, as described above.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits operating income is largely attributable to the (i) Wine and Spirits Divestitures, (ii) unfavorable product mix, (iii) decline in contractual distributor payments, and (iv) decline in organic branded wine and spirits shipment volume, partially offset by lower marketing spend, as described above.


			As previously discussed, the decrease in Corporate Operations and Other operating loss is largely due to the decrease in compensation and benefits, partially offset by the Second Quarter 2025 tax credit.

Interest expense, net decreased to $87.6 million for Second Quarter 2026 as compared to $104.0 million for Second Quarter 2025. This decrease of $16.4 million, or 16%, is due to approximately $1.1 billion of lower average borrowings and approximately 15 basis points of lower weighted average interest rates. For additional information, refer to Note 11.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The (provision for) benefit from income taxes increased to $(296.8) million for Second Quarter 2026 from $152.2 million for Second Quarter 2025. Our effective tax rate for Second Quarter 2026 was 37.9% as compared with 11.4% for Second Quarter 2025. In comparison to prior year, our effective tax rate was largely impacted by:

•net income tax impacts resulting from (i) changes to valuation allowances related to net operating losses and tax legislation updates and (ii) effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses; partially offset by

•a net income tax benefit resulting from the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods; and

•net income tax impacts from the (i) Second Quarter 2025 non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and (ii) Second Quarter 2025 sale of remaining assets at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

For additional information, refer to Note 12.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income attributable to CBI increased to $466.0 million for Second Quarter 2026 from $(1,199.0) million for Second Quarter 2025. This increase of $1,665.0 million, or 139%, is largely attributable to the Second Quarter 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by the (i) net sales declines in both the Wine and Spirits and Beer segments, (ii) Second Quarter 2026 provision for income taxes as compared to a benefit from income taxes for Second Quarter 2025, and (iii) Second Quarter 2025 net gain in connection with Exchangeable Shares.

The decrease in Beer net sales is largely due to a (i) $295.1 million decrease in shipment volume and (ii) $14.0 million of unfavorable product mix primarily from a shift in package types, partially offset by $85.6 million of favorable impact from pricing in select markets. We believe our net sales continue to be suppressed by the socioeconomic factors discussed above. Additionally, shipments trailed depletions as distributors rebalanced inventory levels during Second Quarter 2026. We expect shipment volume to generally align with depletion volume for Fiscal 2026.

(2)Includes adjustments to remove volumes associated with the 2025 Wine Divestitures for the period June 2, 2024, through August 31, 2024.

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is due to $256.5 million from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures that are no longer part of our business and a $104.7 million decrease in organic net sales. The decrease in organic net sales is largely driven by (i) a $66.8 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) a $17.7 million decrease from pricing actions in certain markets, (iii) $12.5 million in lower contractual distributor payments as compared to Six Months 2025, and (iv) $9.7 million of unfavorable product mix. The decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume and unfavorable product mix are primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, including the continued change in cadence of shipments to better align with ongoing weaker consumer demand particularly affecting the overall mainstream price segments prior to the 2025 Wine Divestitures. Additionally, we believe our branded wine and spirits shipment volume was negatively impacted by both tariffs imposed by the U.S. government and by retaliatory tariffs and actions in certain international markets. We also continue to expect depletion volume to outpace shipment volume for Fiscal 2026.

Consolidated gross profit	$	2,576.6	$	2,915.6	$	(339.0)	(12	%)


			The decrease in Beer gross profit is primarily due to (i) a $157.7 million decrease in shipment volume and (ii) $79.0 million of increased cost of product sold, partially offset by the $85.6 million of favorable impact from pricing. The increased cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $37.1 million of unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Six Months 2025, (ii) $29.5 million in tariffs on aluminum cans, (iii) an $8.7 million increase in brewery costs, including maintenance and utilities, and (iv) $5.1 million of higher depreciation resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects. To partially offset the increase in cost of product sold we are executing efficiency and cost optimization initiatives focused largely on procurement and logistics that resulted in over $105 million of net benefit for Six Months 2026.

			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is due to $98.5 million from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures that is no longer part of our business and an $83.3 million decrease in organic gross profit. The decrease in organic gross profit is largely attributable to (i) a $42.5 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) the $17.7 million of unfavorable pricing, (iii) the $12.5 million decrease in contractual distributor payments, and (iv) a $6.9 million increase in cost of product sold. The increase in cost of product sold is largely attributable to unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Six Months 2025 and a higher Six Months 2026 short-term incentive accrual, partially offset by decreased transportation costs.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 51.6% for Six Months 2026 compared with 52.2% for Six Months 2025. This decrease was largely due to (i) approximately 160 basis points and 15 basis points of rate decline from higher cost of product sold within the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments, respectively, (ii) 30 basis points as a result of pricing actions in certain markets and lower contractual distributor payments within the Wine and Spirits segment, and (iii) approximately 15 basis points of lower organic branded Wine and Spirits shipment volume. These declines were partially offset by (i) approximately 80 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing and (ii) approximately 75 basis points driven by divestitures of lower-margin brands.

			The increase in Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $15.4 million and $7.4 million of increased general and administrative expenses and marketing spend, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to higher compensation and benefits and consulting costs. Marketing as a percentage of net sales increased year-over-year to support our high-end imported beer brands. We now expect marketing as a percentage of net sales to approximate 9% for Fiscal 2026.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $22.0 million and $3.3 million of decreased marketing spend and general and administrative expenses, respectively. The decrease in marketing spend is primarily driven by our smaller portfolio of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits brands, however, as a percentage of net sales, it increased year-over-year driven by support of our largest brands. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is largely driven by cost savings measures as a result of the 2025 Restructuring Initiative.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The (provision for) benefit from income taxes increased to $(384.4) million for Six Months 2026 from $124.2 million for Six Months 2025. Our effective tax rate for Six Months 2026 was 27.6% as compared with 30.0% for Six Months 2025. In comparison to prior year, our effective tax rate was largely impacted by:

•net income tax impacts resulting from the (i) Six Months 2025 non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and (ii) Six Months 2025 sale of the remaining assets at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

We now expect our reported effective tax rate for Fiscal 2026 to be in the range of 17% to 19%, inclusive of (i) our initial evaluation of the OB3 Act and (ii) Pillar Two. We will continue to assess the implications of the OB3 Act and Pillar Two. As it relates to the OB3 Act, our income tax provision may continue to be impacted as additional clarifications or interpretive guidance related to the OB3 Act is released.

For additional information, refer to Note 12.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI increased to $982.1 million for Six Months 2026 from $(322.0) million for Six Months 2025. This increase of $1,304.1 million, or 405%, is largely attributable to the Six Months 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by the (i) Six Months 2026 provision for income taxes as compared to a benefit from income taxes for Six Months 2025, (ii) net sales declines in both the Wine and Spirits and Beer segments, (iii) Six Months 2025 net gain in connection with Exchangeable Shares, and (iv) Six Months 2026 asset impairment and related expenses.

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 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 planned 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 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 August 31, 2025, and February 28,

2025, the amount payable to this participating financial institution for suppliers who voluntarily participate in the supply chain finance program was $50.7 million and $39.4 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.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	1,489.3	$	1,872.3	$	(383.0)

The $72.5 million net change in operating assets and liabilities was largely driven by higher accounts receivable for the Beer segment as a result of timing of collections, as well as lower (i) contract liabilities in connection with distribution arrangements for our U.S. wine and spirits brand portfolio following the completion of the 2025 Wine Divestitures and (ii) accounts payable for both the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments, driven by the timing of purchases and lower purchasing activity following the Wine and Spirits Divestitures, respectively. These changes were partially offset by lower accounts receivables for the Wine and Spirits segment due to lower net sales, reflecting the impact of the Wine and Spirits Divestitures. Additionally, net cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by lower Six Months 2026 income tax payments as compared to Six Months 2025 following the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments.

Investing activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities increased to $464.8 million for Six Months 2026 from $(857.6) million for Six Months 2025. This increase of $1,322.4 million, or 154%, was primarily due to (i) $851.1 million higher proceeds from sale of business, driven by the 2025 Wine Divestitures, (ii) $293.0 million reduced capital expenditures for Six Months 2026 as compared to Six Months 2025, and (iii) $158.3 million reduced business acquisition activity for Six Months 2026, driven by the June 2024 acquisition of the Sea Smoke wine business.

Debt

Total debt outstanding as of August 31, 2025, amounted to $10,544.9 million, a decrease of $952.8 million, or 8%, from February 28, 2025. This decrease consisted of:

Debt repayment

Debt issuance

Bank facilities

In May 2025, we entered into the 2025 Term Credit Agreement, which provides for a six-month delayed draw $500.0 million term loan facility, available in up to two draws. The balance is due and payable two years after the initial funding date, if any, occurs. There are no borrowings outstanding under the 2025 Term Credit Agreement.

In April 2025, we entered into the 2025 Restatement Agreement that amended and restated our then-existing senior credit facility. The 2025 Restatement Agreement resulted in (i) refinancing the existing $2.25 billion revolving credit facility, (ii) extending its maturity to April 28, 2030, and (iii) refining certain negative covenants. There are no borrowings outstanding under the 2025 Credit Agreement.

Senior notes

On July 2, 2025, we repaid the 4.75% December 2015 Senior Notes using proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures and cash on hand. On June 12, 2025, we repaid the 5.00% February 2023 Senior Notes using proceeds from the 2025


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2026 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 47


MD&A			Table of Contents

Wine Divestitures. Each of these notes were redeemed prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In May 2025, we issued the 4.80% May 2025 Senior Notes. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, of $496.0 million were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness, working capital, funding capital expenditures, and other business opportunities.

General

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of August 31, 2025, 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 2025 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 expect to utilize unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2025 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 2025 Credit Agreement:


	August 31, 2025		September 30, 2025
(in millions)
Revolving credit facility (1)	$	1,986.0	$	2,144.2

(1)Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under our 2025 Credit Agreement and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program (excluding unamortized discount) of $252.7 million and $94.5 million as of August 31, 2025, and September 30, 2025, respectively.

The financial institutions participating in our 2025 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 August 31, 2025, we and our subsidiaries were subject to covenants that are contained in our 2025 Credit Agreement and the 2025 Term 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 2025 Credit Agreement. As of August 31, 2025, under our 2025 Credit Agreement, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net leverage ratio was 4.0x.

The representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default set forth in our 2025 Term Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those set forth in our 2025 Credit Agreement.

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 August 31, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenants under our 2025 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 2025 Annual Report and Note 11.

Common Stock Dividends

On September 30, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share of Class A Stock and $0.92 per share of Class 1 Stock payable on November 13, 2025, to stockholders of record of each class as of the close of business on October 30, 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 2025 Annual Report.

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our publicly traded common stock of up to $4.0 billion under the 2025 Authorization which expires in February 2028. As of August 31, 2025, total shares repurchased are as follows:


			Class A Stock
	Repurchase Authorization		Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased		Number of Shares Repurchased
(in millions, except share data)
2025 Authorization (1)	$	4,000.0	$	604.0	3,375,602

(1)As of August 31, 2025, $3,396.0 million remains available for future share repurchases, excluding the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA.

Share repurchases under the 2025 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, proceeds from borrowings, and/or divestiture proceeds. Any repurchased shares will become treasury shares, including shares previously repurchased under the 2025 Authorization.

We currently expect to return $4.0 billion in share repurchases to stockholders from Fiscal 2026 through Fiscal 2028, 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 2025 Annual Report.

For additional information, refer to Note 17 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report and Note 13.

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. These risks may be influenced by, among other factors, trade policies, tariffs, and foreign or domestic legal and regulatory requirements. 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, cross-currency 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 August 31, 2025, we had exposures to foreign currency risk primarily related to the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and euro. We aim to hedge 100% of our balance sheet exposures. As of August 31, 2025, 83% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2026 were hedged.

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 August 31, 2025, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging include aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. Approximately 82% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2026 were hedged as of August 31, 2025.

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
	August 31, 2025		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2025		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2025		August 31, 2024
(in millions)
Foreign currency contracts	$	3,263.8	$	3,604.0	$	216.6	$	53.3	$	(192.2)	$	(198.6)
Commodity derivative contracts	$	327.1	$	342.8	$	(1.2)	$	(23.9)	$	29.1	$	28.1
Net investment hedge contracts	$	145.5	$	—	$	(5.6)	$	—	$	14.3	$	—

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.

There were no cash flow designated or undesignated interest rate swap contracts or Pre-issuance hedge contracts outstanding as of August 31, 2025, or August 31, 2024.

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
	August 31, 2025		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2025		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2025		August 31, 2024

A 1% hypothetical change in the prevailing interest rates would have increased interest expense on our variable interest rate debt by $2.0 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended August 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, respectively.

For additional discussion on our market risk, refer to Notes 6 and 7.

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 August 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On February 18, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Meza v. Constellation Brands, Inc., et al., Case No. 6:25-cv-6107 (W.D.N.Y.). The complaint names as defendants the Company, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and asserts claims for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder arising from allegedly materially false or misleading statements or omissions of purportedly material fact concerning, among other things, the Company’s strategies intended to improve the performance of our wine and spirits business. On July 17, 2025, an amended complaint was filed in the Meza litigation. The amended complaint asserts the same causes of action against the same defendants, but alleges materially false or misleading statements or omissions of purportedly material fact concerning, among other things, the prospects of our beer business. There are no allegations in the amended complaint regarding our wine and spirits business. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, alleged damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On September 17, 2025, the Company and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which motion remains pending.

On March 24, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Silva v. Newlands, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-254 (W.D.N.Y.); on April 21, 2025, a second purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Mason v. Newlands, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00353 (W.D.N.Y.); and on June 24, 2025, a third purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware captioned Wasserman v. Baldwin, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-779 (D. Del.). These derivative complaints each seek to assert claims arising under the Exchange Act and state common law, derivatively on behalf of the Company, against current and former directors and officers of the Company. None of the plaintiffs made a pre-suit demand on our Board of Directors, instead each alleging that the pre-suit demand requirement should be excused as purportedly futile. The claims asserted in these derivative complaints arise from substantially the same allegations made in the Meza complaint. On May 27, 2025, the United States District Court for the Western District of New York entered an order consolidating the Silva and Mason litigations and staying proceedings pending the entry of a final judgment in Meza. On August 8, 2025, the plaintiff in the Wasserman litigation filed a notice and proposed order voluntarily dismissing that litigation, which was so ordered by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on August 14, 2025.
