In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Comparable measures, including those presenting the impact of the Company’s former equity method investment in Canopy Growth Corporation and adjusted measures are provided because management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the results and underlying business trends of the core operations of the Company and/or in internal goal setting.

"While the current macroeconomic backdrop has weighed on demand for beverage alcohol - and for consumer packaged goods, more broadly - we continued to deliver strong performance in Q2 of Fiscal '25. Our company once again outperformed the dollar sales growth of the total CPG sector, and our Beer Business remained both the #1 share gainer in its category and a top 3 share gainer in the broader beverage industry. Our relentless focus on delivering top-tier growth and winning in the marketplace,as well as on driving efficiencies,

"We achieved an important milestone of our capital allocation priorities, having reached our target ~3.0x net leverage ratio, on a comparable basis. Importantly, consistent with those same priorities, we also returned an additional ~$250 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases, while continuing to pay our dividend and advance our brewery investments. We are also pleased to be deploying incremental marketing investments in our Beer Business, as our cost savings and efficiency initiatives have

supported another quarter with a double-digit increase in comparable EPS, in line with our full-year outlook."

delivered results above our initial expectations. All in, we continue to make progress and remain focused on our value creation efforts."

		Shipments	Depletions	Net Sales	Operating Income (Loss)
Three Months Ended \| In millions; branded product, 24-pack, 12-ounce case equivalents
August 31, 2024		128.6		$2,530.2	$1,077.7
August 31, 2023		123.0		$2,392.7	$953.9
% Change		4.6%	2.4%	6%	13%

HIGHLIGHTS

•Our Beer Business achieved a solid 6% net sales increase primarily driven by a 4.6% rise in shipment volumes.

•Depletion volume had growth of 2.4% including the impact of one less selling day. The increase was driven by ongoing demand growth for Modelo Especial of approximately 5%, Pacifico of approximately 23%, and the Modelo Chelada brands of approximately 2%; while Corona Extra declined approximately 3%.

•In Circana channels, our dollar sales and volume growth outpaced the total beer category by 5.3 and 6.2 percentage points, respectively, and the high-end segment by 3.8 percentage points across both measures. Our Beer Business was the #1 dollar share gainer for the 12th consecutive quarter and #1 volume share gainer in the total beer category in the U.S., adding 1.1 and 1.0 points, respectively.

•Additionally, our Beer Business had 3 of the top 15 dollar share gaining brands across the total Beer category as:

◦Modelo Especial remained the #1 brand share gainer and #1 brand across the whole U.S. beer category in dollar sales;

◦Corona Extra maintained its position as a top 5 brand across the entire U.S. beer category in dollar sales and gained share;

◦Pacifico continued to grow rapidly and remained the #4 dollar share gainer across the overall U.S. beer category; and

◦Modelo Chelada Limón y Sal was a top 15 overall dollar share gainer in the U.S. beer market.

•Operating margin increased 270 basis points to 42.6% supported by benefits from ongoing cost saving initiatives, fixed cost absorption driven by volume growth, favorable pricing, and lapping of costs related to the voluntary keg recall in Q2 fiscal 2024, partially offset by higher marketing investments.

•The Beer Business continues to expect net sales growth of 6 - 8% and operating income growth outlook of 11 - 12% for fiscal 2025.

CAPITAL EXPANSION

The company had approximately 48 million hectoliters of capacity across its existing facilities in Mexico at the end of fiscal 2024. From fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2028, the company expects approximately $3 billion of capital expenditures to continue the development of modular additions at existing facilities in Mexico and its third brewery site at Veracruz.

% Change		(9.8%)	(17.6%)	(12%)	(13%)

HIGHLIGHTS

•Our Wine and Spirits net sales declined 12% driven by a 9.8% decrease in shipment volumes, as the business continues to face challenging market conditions, primarily in the U.S. wholesale channel across most price segments in the wine category.

•While wine and mainstream spirits depletion volumes were also affected by challenging market conditions, our craft spirits portfolio delivered depletion growth of 1.3% primarily driven by increases in Mi CAMPO of 23% and Nelson's Green Brier of 15%.

•Operating margin remained relatively flat at 18.1% primarily driven by product mix changes and lower volumes, offset by lower other SG&A and higher contractual distributor payments.

•The Wine and Spirits Business continues to expect net sales decline of 4 - 6% and operating income decline of 16 - 18%, inclusive of commercial and operational initiatives underway to address broader market headwinds for fiscal 2025.

Financial statements, as well as supplemental schedules and tables reconciling non-GAAP measures, together with definitions of these measures and the reasons management uses these measures, are included in this release.

When used in this release, the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,“ and similar expressions are intended to identify Projections, although not all Projections contain such identifying words. All Projections speak only as of the date of this release. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any Projections, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the Projections are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations and conditions in the general economy and markets in which we compete, the Projections contained in this release are also subject to the risk, uncertainty, and possible variance from our current expectations regarding:

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.

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.

Goodwill impairment

We recognized a goodwill impairment in connection with negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business.

Restructuring and other strategic business development costs

We recognized costs in connection with certain activities which are intended to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within our Wine and Spirits segment.

Transition services agreements activity

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

Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs

We recognized costs in connection with our investments, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Comparable adjustments, (Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The effective tax rate applied to each comparable adjustment amount is generally based upon the jurisdiction in which the comparable adjustment was recognized. We recognized a benefit from income taxes for the three months and six months ended August 31, 2024, resulting from the goodwill impairment, net of the non-deductible portion.

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