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 2026 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

2. 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 was executed within the year ended February 28, 2026. The 2025 Restructuring Initiative is estimated to result in $130 million of cumulative pre-tax costs once all phases are fully implemented. These costs are expected to be comprised of (i) employee termination costs (50%) and (ii) consulting services as well as other costs, which primarily include contract termination costs (50%).

We recognized pre-tax restructuring costs within selling, general, and administrative expenses in our consolidated results related to the 2025 Restructuring Initiative as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended May 31,
	2026		2025
(in millions)

Overview

Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 7 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2026 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the three months ended May 31, 2026.

Foreign currency contracts	$	668.9	$	522.2
Commodity derivative contracts	$	368.8	$	335.5

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.

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 $0.6 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended May 31, 2026, and May 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 May 31, 2026, there were no derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties.

Results of period derivative activity

The estimated fair value and location of our derivative instruments on our balance sheets are as follows (see Note 5):

5. 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. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 9


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 May 31, 2026, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,197.5 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $9,588.0 million. As of February 28, 2026, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,296.5 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $9,858.2 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 May 31, 2026, and February 28, 2026, 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:

Assets held for sale and related net assets

For the three months ended May 31, 2026, in connection with the New Zealand Wine Divestitures, net assets with a $36.7 million carrying value were adjusted to their estimated fair value of $18.4 million, less costs to sell, resulting in an $18.3 million net loss. This net loss was included in asset impairment and related expenses within our consolidated results for the three months ended May 31, 2026. Our estimated fair value was based on the expected proceeds from this transaction as of May 31, 2026. For additional information, refer to Note 6.

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 three months ended May 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.

(1)Preliminary purchase accounting allocations associated with the HOPWTR acquisition (see below).

The carrying amount of our Wine and Spirits segment goodwill was zero as of May 31, 2026, February 28, 2026, and February 28, 2025, respectively.

ACQUISITION

HOPWTR

In April 2026, we purchased the remaining ownership interest in HOPWTR, a premium non-alcoholic brand crafted with hops, adaptogens, and nootropics. HOPWTR has been a part of our corporate ventures portfolio since 2021. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill and trademarks. The results of operations of HOPWTR are reported in the Beer 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. 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.

Assets held for sale

In May 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest eight small-scale domestic-market New Zealand mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, equipment, a winery, and vineyards which were reclassified to net assets held for sale as of May 31, 2026. The carrying value of these net assets is largely included with prepaid expenses and other on our consolidated balance sheet. The New Zealand Wine Divestitures transaction was completed in June 2026, and the net cash proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

(2)Contractual interest rate varies based on our debt rating (as defined in the agreement) and is a function of SOFR plus a margin and a credit spread adjustment, or the base rate plus a margin, or, in certain circumstances where SOFR cannot be adequately ascertained or available, an alternative benchmark rate plus a margin.

(3)We and/or CB International are the borrower under the $2,250.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 28, 2030. Includes a sub-facility for letters of credit of up to $200.0 million.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2025 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program

We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2025 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility. Information with respect to our outstanding commercial paper borrowings is as follows:

Senior notes

In May 2026, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.85% senior notes due May 2031. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $496.8 million. Interest on the 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on May 6 and November 6 of each year, beginning November 6, 2026. The 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to April 6, 2031, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment based on the present value of the future payments at the adjusted treasury rate, as defined in the applicable indenture, plus 15 basis points. On or after April 6, 2031, we may redeem the 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

On May 18, 2026, we redeemed $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% December 2016 Senior Notes prior to maturity using proceeds from the 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes and commercial paper borrowings at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

9. INCOME TAXES

Overview

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and May 31, 2025, was 11.6% and 14.3%, respectively.

For the three months ended May 31, 2026, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, partially offset by (i) certain tax legislation updates, (ii) adjustments to tax attributes, and (iii) changes to valuation allowances.

For the three months ended May 31, 2025, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses and (ii) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods.

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 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 analysis and activities performed in response to the legislation, there will be a negative impact on our effective tax rate for Fiscal 2027, primarily driven by modifications to the taxation of foreign earnings and other international income tax provisions.

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.

Stock repurchases

In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock under the 2025 Authorization, which expires in February 2028. Shares repurchased under this authorization become treasury shares. For the three months ended May 31, 2026, we repurchased 1,465,295 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2025 Authorization through open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $223.8 million. Subsequent to May 31, 2026, we repurchased 714,387 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2025 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $100.0 million through open market transactions made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. As of June 26, 2026, $2,752.1 million remains available for future share repurchases, excluding the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA.

11. 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-

13. 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 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 and strategic acquisitions, providing a cash dividend program, and from time-to-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.

14. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED

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 2026 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 a discussion of a recent development and certain acquisitions and divestitures.

Results of operations

This section provides an analysis of our results of operations presented on a business segment basis for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and May 31, 2025. In addition, a brief description of certain 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, Victoria, Kim Crawford, Ruffino, The Prisoner Wine Company, Robert Mondavi Winery, Mi CAMPO, and High West. In the U.S., we are one of the top dollar share gainers 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 overall U.S. beer market and the #2 dollar share gainer in the high-end. Within wine and spirits, we have implemented a multi-year strategy that


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 22


MD&A			Table of Contents

repositioned this business to a portfolio of exclusively higher-end brands that we believe is positioned for long-term growth, 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 and retailers. We conduct our business through entities we wholly own as well as through a variety of joint ventures and other entities.

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 to build 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;

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

•deliver on impactful environmental, social, and governance initiatives that we believe are not only good business, but also good for the world.

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 stronger growth rates relative to the industry. To capitalize on these ongoing trends and evolving consumer occasions and preferences, we will continue to employ our strategy dedicated to organic growth of our existing portfolio, supplemented by targeted investments and acquisitions. Our ongoing digital acceleration initiatives are aimed at driving results by enhancing our technology, data, and digital capabilities in key areas. 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 seek 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 2027, we intend to continue to increase distribution for key brands,


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 23


MD&A			Table of Contents

optimize growth through differentiated brand positioning, price pack architecture, and market prioritization as well as invest in the next phase of modular capacity additions necessary to support our anticipated future growth. Modular capacity addition activities continue under our Brewery 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 long-term growth. With our portfolio of exclusively higher-end brands and our continued focus on operational efficiencies, we remain committed to improving margins and driving growth. We intend to expand our brands across U.S. wholesale, international markets, and DTC channels (including hospitality) to maximize our total addressable market opportunity by leveraging our global, omni-channel capabilities.

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 dynamic and evolving consumer environment largely driven by ongoing economic uncertainty and additional headwinds from other socioeconomic factors. These factors may include subdued spend, depressed sentiment, value-seeking behaviors, higher consumer prices and reductions in the discretionary income available to purchase our products among consumers, including from increased gas prices, elevated unemployment, inflation, other unfavorable global and regional economic conditions, demographic trends in the U.S., global supply chain disruptions and constraints, geopolitical events and tensions, wars, and military conflicts, including the conflict in the Middle East.

Developments in international trade relations, including significant additional changes in U.S. trade policy and actions which may include threatened, new, and increased tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on other countries, retaliatory tariffs and actions imposed on certain U.S. goods, and subsequent modifications and delays to or invalidation of various tariffs as well as associated litigation and developments 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 certain product imports, including on aluminum and aluminum derivatives, and certain other countries have implemented tariffs and other actions on U.S. goods, such as boycotts and tariffs on certain product imports originating from the U.S. imposed by the Canadian federal and some provincial governments and retaliatory tariffs in other international markets, although some of these tariffs were subsequently modified, delayed, suspended, or invalidated. Various tariffs and other actions negatively impacted our Fiscal 2026 and First Quarter 2027 results of operations. In April 2026, the U.S. government removed beer made from malt, which includes our beer products, from the scope of the Section 232 aluminum and aluminum derivative tariffs that had been in place at various rates since February 2025.

We expect some or all of these market conditions and their impacts to continue in Fiscal 2027 which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We intend to continue to monitor the dynamic and evolving consumer and socioeconomic environments and their impacts on our business. In addition, we have executed the majority of the work associated with 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


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 24


MD&A			Table of Contents

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 was executed within Fiscal 2026. The 2025 Restructuring Initiative is estimated to result in nearly $130 million of cumulative pre-tax costs once all phases are fully implemented. In connection with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, we recognized $0.6 million of pre-tax restructuring costs in First Quarter 2027 and $122.5 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 2.

Recent Development

New Zealand Wine Divestitures

In May 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to divest eight small-scale domestic-market New Zealand mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, equipment, a winery, and vineyards which were reclassified to net assets held for sale as of May 31, 2026. The New Zealand Wine Divestitures transaction was completed in June 2026 and supports our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers. The net cash proceeds from this transaction were used for general corporate purposes.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Beer segment

HOPWTR

In April 2026, we purchased the remaining ownership interest in HOPWTR, a premium non-alcoholic brand crafted with hops, adaptogens, and nootropics, which has been a part of our corporate ventures portfolio since 2021. This acquisition supports our strategic focus on meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

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. We received $845.9 million of cash proceeds, which were used for the repayment of debt. This divestiture supports our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

For additional information on these acquisitions and divestitures refer to Note 6.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Highlights

References to organic throughout the following discussion exclude the impact of the 2025 Wine Divestitures, where appropriate.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 25


MD&A			Table of Contents

First Quarter 2027 compared to First Quarter 2026

Net sales decreased 3% largely due to the lower net sales as a result of the 2025 Wine Divestitures, partially offset by an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by shipment volume growth and favorable impact from pricing.

Operating income increased 18% largely due to (i) favorable Comparable Adjustments led by net gains recognized on undesignated commodity derivative contracts for First Quarter 2027 compared with net losses for First Quarter 2026 and lower First Quarter 2027 losses associated with asset impairment and related expenses and (ii) continued successful execution of efficiency and cost optimization initiatives, including the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, partially offset by the lower net sales as a result of the 2025 Wine Divestitures.

Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI increased 27% and 31%, respectively, largely due to the items discussed above.

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:


	First Quarter 2027		First Quarter 2026
(in millions)
Cost of product sold
Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts	$	49.3	$	(17.7)
Settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts	(9.4)		2.5

Strategic business reconfiguration costs, net	0.3		(5.2)

Other gains (losses)	(3.5)		(3.5)
Comparable Adjustments, Selling, general, and administrative expenses	(8.9)		(27.5)


Asset impairment and related expenses	(18.3)		(52.1)

Comparable Adjustments, Operating income (loss)	$	11.1	$	(96.1)

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.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 26


MD&A			Table of Contents

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.

Strategic business reconfiguration costs, net

We recognized net costs primarily in connection with losses on write-downs of excess inventory resulting from our initiatives to streamline operations, improve efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within our Wine and Spirits segment.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Transition services agreements activity

We recognized costs in connection with transition services agreements related to the previous sales of portions of our wine and spirits business.

2025 Restructuring Initiative

We recognized costs in connection with an enterprise-wide cost savings and restructuring initiative designed to help optimize the performance of our business.

Strategic business reconfiguration costs, net

We recognized net costs in connection with activities intended to streamline operations, improve efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure.

Other gains (losses)

We recognized other gains (losses) primarily as of result of net losses from the sales of businesses.

Asset impairment and related expenses

We recognized (i) an impairment on assets held for sale in connection with the New Zealand Wine Divestitures (First Quarter 2027) and (ii) contract liabilities and inventory obsolescence expenses associated with the 2025 Wine Divestitures, partially offset by changes in then-existing net assets held for sale (First Quarter 2026). For additional information, refer to Note 5.

Shipments		113.3		111.3				1.8	%

Depletions								(0.3	%)

The increase in Beer net sales is largely due to (i) $40.7 million of shipment volume growth and (ii) $17.6 million of favorable impact from pricing in select markets, partially offset by $9.3 million of unfavorable product mix primarily from a shift in package types. While our shipment volume growth benefited from consumer demand, we believe our net sales continued to be impacted by the economic uncertainty and socioeconomic factors discussed above.


	Wine and Spirits segment	First Quarter 2027		First Quarter 2026		Dollar Change		Percent Change
(in millions, branded product, 9-liter case equivalents)
Net sales		$	149.2	$	280.5	$	(131.3)	(47	%)

Shipments		1.4		3.9				(64.1	%)
Organic shipments (1)		1.4		1.3				7.7	%






Depletions (1)								6.6	%

(1)Includes adjustments to remove volumes associated with the 2025 Wine Divestitures for the period March 1, 2025, through May 31, 2025.

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is due to $142.0 million from the 2025 Wine Divestitures that are no longer part of our business, partially offset by a $10.7 million increase in organic net sales. The increase in organic net sales is largely driven by $17.2 million of branded wine and spirits shipment volume growth, partially offset by a (i) $4.9 million decrease in non-branded net sales led by a decline in bulk sales and (ii) $3.2 million decrease from strategic pricing actions taken on select brands. 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.

			The increase in Beer gross profit is largely due to (i) $20.9 million of shipment volume growth, (ii) the $17.6 million favorable impact from pricing, and (iii) $2.6 million of decreased cost of product sold, partially offset by $9.9 million of unfavorable product mix. The decrease in cost of product sold is primarily due to cost reductions and other efficiencies, including (i) $30.7 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to increased production levels as compared to First Quarter 2026, (ii) $5.1 million of lower depreciation, and (iii) $5.0 million of decreased transportation costs, partially offset by the following increases (i) $17.3 million of materials costs, including glass, starch, and cartons, (ii) $13.0 million of tariffs, largely on aluminum imports under Section 232, and (iii) $7.8 million of warehousing and obsolescence costs.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is due to $34.1 million from the 2025 Wine Divestitures that is no longer part of our business, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in organic gross profit. The increase in organic gross profit is largely attributable to (i) $15.3 million of branded wine and spirits shipment volume growth and (ii) $2.1 million of decreased cost of product sold partially offset by (i) $12.7 million of unfavorable product mix and (ii) the $3.2 million decrease from strategic pricing actions. The decrease in cost of product sold is largely attributable to cost savings measures as a result of the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, partially offset by incremental U.S. tariffs imposed.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 54.3% for First Quarter 2027 compared with 50.4% for First Quarter 2026. This increase was largely driven by rate growth from (i) a favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing 220 basis points, (ii) divestitures of lower-margin brands, contributing approximately 160 basis points, (iii) favorable impact from beer pricing, contributing approximately 35 basis points, and (iv) organic branded wine and spirits shipment volume growth, contributing approximately 25 basis points. These increases were partially offset by 55 basis points of unfavorable product mix shift within the Wine and Spirits segment.

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses	$	457.0	$	500.7	$	(43.7)	(9	%)


			The increase in Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to $8.1 million and $5.2 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 unfavorable foreign currency impact. Marketing as a percentage of net sales is flat year-over-year in continued support of our high-end imported beer brands.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to $18.5 million and $17.2 million of decreased marketing spend and general and administrative expenses, respectively. The decrease in marketing spend is driven by our smaller portfolio of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits 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 driven by cost savings measures as a result of the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense as compared to First Quarter 2026.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased to 18.8% for First Quarter 2027 as compared to 19.9% for First Quarter 2026. The decrease is driven by rate declines from (i) lower selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Wine and Spirits segment, contributing approximately 170 basis points and (ii) a favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 80 basis points, partially offset by (i) approximately 130 basis points of unfavorable impact from the 2025 Wine Divestitures and (ii) approximately 15 basis points of rate growth from higher selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Beer segment.

Consolidated operating income (loss)	$	845.3	$	713.8	$	131.5	18	%


			The increase in Beer operating income is largely attributable to the shipment volume growth and favorable impact from pricing, partially offset by the unfavorable product mix and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, as described above.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits operating loss is largely attributable to the lower selling, general, and administrative expenses and organic shipment volume growth, partially offset by the 2025 Wine Divestitures and unfavorable product mix, as described above.


			As previously discussed, the decrease in Corporate Operations and Other operating loss is largely attributable to the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense.

Income (loss) from unconsolidated investments

Income (loss) from unconsolidated investments increased to $0.5 million for First Quarter 2027 as compared to $(3.5) million for First Quarter 2026. This increase of $4.0 million, or 114%, is driven by First Quarter 2027 equity in earnings from equity method investees as compared with First Quarter 2026 equity in losses from equity method investees.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased to $85.8 million for First Quarter 2027 as compared to $98.9 million for First Quarter 2026. This decrease of $13.1 million, or 13%, is due to approximately $905 million of lower average borrowings and five basis points of lower weighted average interest rates. For additional information, refer to Note 8.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The provision for income taxes increased to $88.1 million for First Quarter 2027 from $87.6 million for First Quarter 2026. Our effective tax rate for First Quarter 2027 was 11.6% as compared with 14.3% for First Quarter 2026. In comparison to prior year, our effective tax rate was largely impacted by:

•a net income tax benefit resulting from changes to valuation allowances; partially offset by

•net income tax impacts related to (i) adjustments to tax attributes, (ii) the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods, and (iii) certain tax legislation updates.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 30

We now expect our reported effective tax rate for Fiscal 2027 to be in the range of 16% to 18%.

For additional information, refer to Note 9.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income attributable to CBI increased to $653.8 million for First Quarter 2027 from $516.1 million for First Quarter 2026. This increase of $137.7 million, or 27%, is largely attributable to the (i) net gains recognized on undesignated commodity derivative contracts for First Quarter 2027 compared with net losses for First Quarter 2026 and (ii) lower First Quarter 2027 losses associated with asset impairment and related expenses. Additionally, First Quarter 2027 benefited from the continued successful execution of efficiency and cost optimization initiatives, including the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, partially offset by the lower net sales as a result of the 2025 Wine Divestitures.

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 May 31, 2026, and February 28, 2026, the amount payable to this participating financial institution for suppliers who voluntarily participate in the supply chain finance program was $55.0 million and $50.7 million, respectively, and was included with accounts payable on 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	$	661.8	$	637.2	$	24.6

The $92.3 million net change in operating assets and liabilities was largely driven by lower shipment volume growth year-over-year in the Beer segment, resulting in a smaller increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by lower accounts receivables for the Wine and Spirits segment due to lower net sales, reflecting the impact of the 2025 Wine Divestitures. Additionally, net cash provided by operating activities was negatively impacted by higher First Quarter 2027 income tax payments as compared to First Quarter 2026 following the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $193.2 million for First Quarter 2027 from $196.1 million for First Quarter 2026. This decrease of $2.9 million, or 1%, was primarily due to $15.6 million of reduced capital expenditures for First Quarter 2027 as compared to First Quarter 2026, partially offset by $15.3 million of increased business acquisition activity for First Quarter 2027, driven by the April 2026 purchase of the remaining ownership interest in HOPWTR.

Debt

Total debt outstanding as of May 31, 2026, remained relatively flat as compared to February 28, 2026. The issuances and repayments of debt for First Quarter 2027 were as follows:

Debt issuance

Debt repayment and redemption

Senior notes

Issuance

In May 2026, we issued the 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $496.8 million.

Redemption

On May 18, 2026, we redeemed the 3.70% December 2016 Senior Notes prior to maturity using proceeds from the 4.85% May 2026 Senior Notes and commercial paper borrowings at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

General

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of May 31, 2026, consisted of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from calendar 2027 to calendar 2050.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2027 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 33


MD&A			Table of Contents

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:


	May 31, 2026		June 26, 2026
(in millions)
Revolving credit facility (1)	$	1,902.6	$	1,933.1

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 May 31, 2026, we and our subsidiaries were subject to covenants that are contained in our 2025 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 May 31, 2026, under our 2025 Credit Agreement, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net leverage ratio was 4.0x.

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

As of May 31, 2026, 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 13 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2026 Annual Report and Note 8.

Common Stock Dividends

On June 30, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.03 per share of Class A Stock and $0.93 per share of Class 1 Stock payable on August 13, 2026, to stockholders of record of each class as of the close of business on July 30, 2026.

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 2026 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 June 26, 2026, 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	$	1,247.9	7,831,789

(1)As of June 26, 2026, $2,752.1 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. Additionally, shares 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 2026 Annual Report.

For additional information, refer to Note 18 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2026 Annual Report and Note 10.

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 May 31, 2026, 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 May 31, 2026, 84% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining nine months of Fiscal 2027 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 May 31, 2026, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging include aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. Approximately 89% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining nine months of Fiscal 2027 were hedged as of May 31, 2026.

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
	May 31, 2026		May 31, 2025		May 31, 2026		May 31, 2025		May 31, 2026		May 31, 2025

Foreign currency contracts	$	3,330.6	$	3,275.5	$	304.6	$	152.5	$	(222.7)	$	(200.7)
Commodity derivative contracts	$	368.8	$	327.6	$	61.7	$	(17.9)	$	(37.2)	$	26.7
Net investment hedge contracts	$	145.5	$	145.5	$	(5.4)	$	(3.0)	$	14.3	$	13.9

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 May 31, 2026, or May 31, 2025.

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
	May 31, 2026		May 31, 2025		May 31, 2026		May 31, 2025		May 31, 2026		May 31, 2025
(in millions)
Fixed interest rate debt	$	10,262.2	$	11,258.1	$	(9,588.0)	$	(10,440.2)	$	(514.9)	$	(521.7)

A 1% hypothetical change in the prevailing interest rates would have increased interest expense on our variable interest rate debt by $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and May 31, 2025, respectively.

For additional discussion on our market risk, refer to Notes 4 and 5.

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 May 31, 2026, 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 former 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. The amended complaint does not allege misstatements or omissions 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. Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint was fully briefed as of December 12, 2025, and oral argument on that motion has been scheduled to be held on July 22, 2026.

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 first 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.
