HIGHLIGHTS
•Net sales declined 1% driven by a 2.2% decline in shipment volumes, partially offset by favorable pricing.
•Operating margin increased 10 basis points to 38.0% as favorable pricing and lower depreciation were partially offset by increased COGS from aluminum tariffs and unfavorable fixed cost absorption from lower volumes.
•Depletions decreased 3.0% as declines for Modelo Especial of approximately 4%, Corona Extra of nearly 9%, and the Modelo Chelada brands of approximately 2% were partially offset by strong growth from Pacifico and Victoria of over 15% and 13%, respectively.
•Our Beer Business ranked as the #3 dollar share gainer in Circana U.S. tracked channels and had 4 of the top 15 dollar share gaining brands across the entire U.S. beer category:
◦Modelo Especial and Corona Extra maintained their positions as the #1 and #5 brands in dollar sales, respectively;
◦Within the Corona brand family, Corona Sunbrew and Corona Familiar were the #6 and #7 dollar share gainers, respectively; and

HIGHLIGHTS
•Net sales declined 51% driven by a 70.6% decrease in shipment volumes reflecting the impacts of the SVEDKA Divestiture and the 2025 Wine Divestitures, strategic pricing actions taken on select brands, and changes in distributor contractual obligations.
•Operating margin decreased from 22.1% to 15.8%, primarily reflecting the impacts of the SVEDKA Divestiture and the 2025 Wine Divestitures, unfavorable fixed cost absorption, strategic pricing actions taken on select brands, and changes in distributor contractual obligations, partially offset by favorability in marketing and other SG&A expense.
•Our portfolio delivered flat U.S. depletions and outpaced the corresponding higher-end wine segment in both dollar and volume sales performance in Circana U.S. tracked channels.

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED AND ORGANIC NET SALES
(in millions)
(unaudited)
For periods of acquisition, we define organic net sales as current period reported net sales less net sales of products of acquired businesses reported for the current period, as appropriate. For periods of divestiture, we define organic net sales as prior period reported net sales less net sales of products of divested businesses reported for the prior period, as appropriate. We provide organic net sales because management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the underlying business trends of our core operations. Wine and Spirits net sales are provided by channel and market categories as management uses this information to monitor this business. In addition, we believe this information provides investors, financial analysts covering the Company, rating agencies, and other external users (“our investors”) valuable insight on underlying business trends and results and, in the case of Wine and Spirits, the underlying composition of segment net sales and results, in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance.
The divestitures impacting the period below consists of (i) the sale of the SVEDKA brand and related assets (the "SVEDKA Divestiture") (sold January 6, 2025) and (ii) the sale and, in certain circumstances, exclusive license to use 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 "2025 Wine Divestitures") (sold June 2, 2025).

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.

Inventory step-up represents an assumed manufacturing profit attributable to the acquired business prior to acquisition.
