CEO AND CFO PERSPECTIVES

The fourth quarter of 2023 was a strong finish to an incredible year for Molson Coors. Full year net sales grew 9.3% on a constant currency basis, while underlying income before income taxes increased 36.9% on a constant currency basis.

This is the Company's second consecutive year of delivering both top and bottom-line growth. Molson Coors was well positioned to benefit from the significant shifts in consumer purchasing habits, largely in the U.S. premium segment in 2023. Meeting the strong demand, the Company grew annual U.S. brand volumes for both Coors Light and Miller Lite close to double digits and Coors Banquet performed even stronger. Through its proactive commercial efforts and powerful distributor network, the Company believes that these actions support its continued momentum and underscore the belief that the shifts in the industry have become structural.

Expanding on this success, Molson Coors achieved volume, share and net sales growth in each of the Company's three largest global markets in 2023. While its core brands were a strong driver, Molson Coors' above premium innovations like Simply Spiked and Madri also contributed to these results.

Molson Coors' successes over the last several years have established a new foundation from which to grow. Supported by its investments in its breweries, its commercial capabilities and its people worldwide, Molson Coors is confident in its ability to achieve its long-term growth algorithm in the future.

Gavin Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer Statement:

“2023 marked the second straight year in which Molson Coors did exactly what we set out to do - grow our business. But more than that, last year we achieved the highest reported top and bottom-line figures in the history of our Company. We plan to build on this momentum in 2024, with strong commercial plans, a powerful and supportive distributor network and the financial flexibility to reinvest in our business."

Tracey Joubert, Chief Financial Officer Statement:

“We are incredibly proud of our accomplishments in 2023. We achieved strong top and bottom-line growth driven in both our business units while we continued to strategically invest in our business, further strengthen our balance sheet and return cash to shareholders through a higher dividend and a larger new share repurchase program. We enter 2024 in a position of strength and are confident in our ability to continue to grow our business."

QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS FOURTH QUARTER 2022 RESULTS)

• Net sales: The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales and net sales per hectoliter for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 (in percentages):

(unaudited)	For the three months ended December 31, 2023
	Financial Volume		Price and Sales Mix		Currency		Net Sales
Consolidated - Net sales	0.8%		4.2%		1.1%		6.1%
Consolidated - Net sales per hectoliter	N/A		4.2%		1.1%		5.3%

Net sales increased 6.1% driven by favorable price and sales mix, favorable foreign currency impacts and higher financial volumes. Net sales increased 5.0% in constant currency.

Financial volumes increased 0.8%, primarily due to higher financial volumes in the Americas segment, partially offset by a decrease in EMEA&APAC financial volumes. Brand volumes increased 4.3% due to a 6.7% increase in the Americas, partially offset by a 2.2% decline in EMEA&APAC.

Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales and net sales per hectoliter by 4.2%, primarily due to increased net pricing as well as favorable sales mix as a result of lower contract brewing volume related to the wind down of a contract brewing arrangement leading up to the termination by the end of 2024.

• Cost of goods sold (COGS): increased 3.0% on a reported basis, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency impacts, higher cost of goods sold per hectoliter and higher financial volumes. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter: increased 2.2% on a reported basis, including the unfavorable currency impact of 1.2%, primarily due to cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses, and unfavorable mix driven by lower contract volumes in the Americas segment as well as higher factored volumes in the EMEA&APAC segment, partially offset by cost savings. Underlying COGS per hectoliter: increased 1.4% in constant currency primarily due to cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses and unfavorable mix driven by lower contract volumes in the Americas segment as well as higher factored volumes in the EMEA&APAC segment, partially offset by cost savings.

• Marketing, general & administrative (MG&A): increased 18.7% on a reported basis due to increased marketing investment, higher incentive compensation expense and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency movements. Underlying MG&A: increased 17.4% in constant currency.

• U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP income before income taxes of $165.5 million improved $729.6 million on a reported basis from a loss in the prior year primarily due to lower non-cash impairment charges of $692 million, increased net pricing to customers, favorable sales mix, cost savings and higher financial volume, partially offset by higher MG&A expense and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expense.
  
  We recorded a non-cash $845 million partial goodwill impairment charge in our Americas segment in the fourth quarter of 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we recorded a non-cash $160.7 million partial indefinite-lived intangible impairment charge in our EMEA&APAC segment as a result of the decline in the fair value of the Staropramen family of brands. The fair value decline was largely driven by reductions in management forecasts as a result of the delays in the expansion and distribution of the brand family, increased optionality for consumers in the premium sector in key markets and reduced demand in Central and Eastern Europe due to cost inflation pressures on consumers as well as macroeconomic factors including an increase in the discount rate as a result of the recent rising interest rate environment.

• Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: Underlying income before income taxes of $345.8 million improved 2.1% in constant currency primarily due to increased net pricing to customers, favorable sales mix, cost savings and higher financial volumes, partially offset by higher MG&A and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses.

QUARTERLY SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS FOURTH QUARTER 2022 RESULTS)

Americas Segment

• Net sales: The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales and net sales per hectoliter for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 (in percentages):

(unaudited)	For the three months ended December 31, 2023
	Financial Volume		Price and Sales Mix		Currency		Net Sales
Americas - Net sales	2.2%		2.5%		0.0%		4.7%
Americas - Net sales per hectoliter	N/A		2.5%		(0.1)%		2.4%

Net sales increased 4.7% driven by higher financial volumes and favorable price and sales mix.

Financial volumes increased 2.2% primarily due to an increase in U.S. brand volumes driven by volume growth in our core brands partially offset by U.S. shipment timing and lower contract brewing volume. The increase in U.S. volume was driven in part by the continued shifts in consumer purchasing behavior largely within the premium beer segment. Americas brand volumes increased 6.7%, including an 8.5% increase in the U.S. driven by growth in our core brands, with Coors Light, Miller Lite and Coors Banquet each up double digits. Canada brand volumes increased 0.7% driven by growth in our above premium brands. Latin America volumes decreased 5.0% largely due to challenging economic conditions in key markets.

Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales and net sales per hectoliter by 2.5%, primarily due to favorable impacts from both increased net pricing and sales mix. Favorable sales mix was due to lower contract brewing volume related to the wind down of a contract brewing arrangement leading up to the termination by the end of 2024.

• U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP income before income taxes of $362.5 million improved $861.7 million on a reported basis from a loss in the prior year primarily due to a non-cash $845 million partial goodwill impairment charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022, higher financial volumes, increased net pricing, lower logistics expenses and cost savings, partially offset by higher MG&A expenses and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses. The higher MG&A spend was driven by increased marketing investment and higher incentive compensation expense.

• Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: Underlying income before income taxes of $363.0 million increased 5.0% in constant currency primarily due to higher financial volumes, increased net pricing, lower logistics expenses and cost savings, partially offset by higher MG&A expense and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses.

EMEA&APAC Segment

• Net sales: The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales and net sales per hectoliter for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 (in percentages):

	Financial Volume		Price and Sales Mix		Currency		Net Sales
EMEA&APAC - Net sales	(3.0)%		9.6%		6.0%		12.6%
EMEA&APAC - Net sales per hectoliter	N/A		9.9%		6.1%		16.0%

Net sales increased 12.6% driven by favorable price and sales mix as well as favorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by a decline in financial volumes. Net sales increased 6.6% in constant currency.

Financial volumes decreased 3.0% and brand volumes decreased 2.2% driven by lower consumption in the U.K. and inflationary pressures on the consumer in Central and Eastern Europe.

Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales and net sales per hectoliter by 9.6% and 9.9%, respectively, primarily due to increased net pricing and favorable sales mix.

• U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP loss before income taxes of $147.4 million declined $159.8 million on a reported basis from income in the prior year primarily due to a non-cash $160.7 million partial impairment charge to our indefinite-lived intangible asset related to the Staropramen family of brands, cost inflation on materials and logistics expenses, higher MG&A, as well as lower financial volumes and the unfavorable impact of foreign currencies, partially offset by increased net pricing to customers and favorable sales mix. Higher MG&A spend was primarily due to increased technology investments and administrative expenses as well as higher marketing.

• Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: Underlying income before income taxes of $15.3 million decreased 52.7% in constant currency primarily due to cost inflation on materials and logistics expenses, higher MG&A, as well as lower financial volumes, partially offset by increased net pricing to customers and favorable sales mix.

FULL YEAR CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS 2022 RESULTS)

• Net sales: The following table highlights the drivers of the change in net sales and net sales per hectoliter for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 (in percentages):

Financial volumes increased 1.8% primarily due to higher financial volumes in the Americas segment, partially offset by lower EMEA&APAC financial volumes. Brand volumes increased 2.2% due to a 4.4% increase in Americas brand volumes, partially offset by a 3.6% decrease in EMEA&APAC brand volumes.

Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales and net sales per hectoliter by 7.5% and 7.3%, respectively, primarily due to increased net pricing including the rollover benefit in the first three quarters due to taking several price increases in the prior year, as well as favorable sales mix. Favorable sales mix was driven by geographic mix due to higher volumes in the Americas segment and lower contract brewing volume related to the wind down of a contract brewing arrangement leading up to the termination by the end of 2024.

• Cost of goods sold (COGS): increased 4.1% on a reported basis, primarily due to higher cost of goods sold per hectoliter and higher financial volumes. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter: increased 2.2%, primarily due to cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses and unfavorable mix, partially offset by changes in our unrealized mark-to-market commodity derivative positions of $126.9 million, cost savings and volume leverage.

Underlying MG&A: increased 8.3% in constant currency.

• U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: U.S. GAAP income before income taxes of $1,252.5 million improved $1,315.0 million on a reported basis from a loss in the prior year primarily due to lower non-cash impairment charges of $720.5 million, increased net pricing to customers, changes in our unrealized mark-to-market commodity positions of $126.9 million, higher financial volumes, favorable sales mix, cost savings and lower net interest expense, partially offset by cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses and higher MG&A spend.

• U.S. GAAP cash from operations: net cash provided by operating activities was $2,079.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 which increased $577.0 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher net income and the favorable timing of working capital in the Americas across all categories, partially offset by higher income taxes paid.

• Underlying free cash flow: cash generated of $1,420.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 which represents an increase of $567.1 million from the prior year, primarily due to higher net cash provided by operating activities as described above.

The reported percent change and the constant currency percent change in the above table are presented as (unfavorable) favorable.
(1)	Includes gross inter-segment volumes, sales and purchases, which are eliminated in the consolidated totals.
(2)	The unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps, which are economic hedges, are recorded as cost of goods sold within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility.
(3)	Represents income (loss) before income taxes adjusted for non-GAAP items. See Appendix for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures including constant currency.
(4)	Financial volume in hectoliters for the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments excludes royalty volume of 0.728 million hectoliters and 0.238 million hectoliters for the three months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and excludes royalty volume of 0.762 million hectoliters and 0.201 million hectoliters for three months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

Worldwide brand volume (or "brand volume" when discussed by segment) reflects owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets (net of returns and allowances), royalty volume and our proportionate share of equity investment worldwide brand volume calculated consistently with MCBC owned volume. Financial volume represents owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographical markets, net of returns and allowances as well as contract brewing, wholesale non-owned brand volume and company-owned distribution volume. Contract brewing and wholesale/factored volume is included within financial volume, but is removed from worldwide brand volume, as this is non-owned volume for which we do not directly control performance. Factored volume in our EMEA&APAC segment is the distribution of beer, wine, spirits and other products owned and produced by other companies to the on-premise channel, which is a common arrangement in the U.K. Royalty volume consists of our brands produced and sold by third parties under various license and contract-brewing agreements and because this is owned volume, it is included in worldwide brand volume. Our worldwide brand volume definition also includes an adjustment from Sales-to-Wholesaler ("STW") volume to Sales-to-Retailer ("STR") volume. We believe the brand volume metric is important because, unlike financial volume and STWs, it provides the closest indication of the performance of our brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends.

We also utilize net sales per hectoliter and cost of goods sold per hectoliter, as well as the year over year changes in such metrics, as key metrics for analyzing our results. These metrics are calculated as net sales and cost of goods sold, respectively, per our consolidated statement of operations divided by financial volume for the respective period. We believe these metrics are important and useful for investors and management because it provides an indication of the trends in pricing and sales mix on our net sales and the trends of sales mix and other cost impacts such as inflation on our cost of goods sold.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we also use non-GAAP financial measures, as listed and defined below, for operational and financial decision making and to assess Company and segment business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. We have provided reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure.

Our management uses these metrics to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe these measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance.

• Underlying Income (Loss) before Income Taxes (Closest GAAP Metric: Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes) – Measure of the Company’s or segment's income (loss) before income taxes excluding the impact of certain non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. Non-GAAP adjustment items include goodwill and other intangible and tangible asset impairments, restructuring and integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, potential or incurred losses related to certain litigation accruals and settlements and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, among other items included in our U.S. GAAP results that warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective, involve significant management judgment and can vary substantially from company to company.

• Underlying COGS (Closest GAAP Metric: COGS) – Measure of the Company’s COGS adjusted to exclude non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). Non-GAAP adjustment items include the impact of unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on our commodity derivative instruments, which are economic hedges, and are recorded through COGS within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivatives without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility.
  
  We also use underlying COGS per hectoliter, as well as the year over year change in such metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. This metric is calculated as underlying COGS divided by financial volume for the respective period.

• Underlying MG&A (Closest GAAP Metric: MG&A) – Measure of the Company’s MG&A expense excluding the impact of certain non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above).

• Underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC (Closest GAAP Metric: Net income (loss) attributable to MCBC) – Measure of net income (loss) attributable to MCBC excluding the impact of non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above), the related tax effects of non-GAAP adjustment items and certain other discrete tax items.

• Underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC per diluted share (also referred to as Underlying Earnings per Share) (Closest GAAP Metric: Net Income (loss) attributable to MCBC per diluted share) – Measure of underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC (as defined above) per diluted share. If applicable, a reported net loss attributable to MCBC per diluted share is calculated using the basic share count due to dilutive shares being antidilutive. If underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC becomes income excluding the impact of our non-GAAP adjustment items, we include the incremental dilutive shares, using the treasury stock method, into the dilutive shares outstanding.

• Underlying effective tax rate (Closest GAAP Metric: Effective Tax Rate) – Measure of the Company’s effective tax rate excluding the related tax impact of pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above) and certain other discrete tax items. Discrete tax items include certain significant tax audit and prior year reserve adjustments, impact of significant tax legislation and tax rate changes and significant non-recurring and period specific tax items.

• Underlying free cash flow (Closest GAAP Metric: Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities) – Measure of the Company’s operating cash flow calculated as Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Operating Activities less Additions to Properties and excluding the pre-tax cash flow impact of certain non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). We consider underlying free cash flow an important measure of our ability to generate cash, grow our business and enhance shareholder value, driven by core operations and after adjusting for non-GAAP adjustment items, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets and capital structure.

• Underlying depreciation and amortization (Closest GAAP Metric: Depreciation & Amortization) – Measure of the Company’s depreciation and amortization excluding the impact of non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). These adjustments primarily consist of accelerated depreciation or amortization taken related to the Company’s strategic exit or restructuring activities.

• Net debt and net debt to underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("underlying EBITDA") (Closest GAAP Metrics: Cash, Debt, & Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes) – Measure of the Company’s leverage calculated as Net debt (defined as current portion of long-term debt and short-term borrowings plus long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing twelve month underlying EBITDA. Underlying EBITDA is calculated as Net Income (Loss) excluding Interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and the impact of non-GAAP adjustment items (as defined above). This measure is not the same as the Company’s maximum leverage ratio as defined under its revolving credit facility, which allows for other adjustments in the calculation of net debt to EBITDA.

• Constant currency - Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure utilized to measure performance, excluding the impact of translational and certain transactional foreign currency movements, and is intended to be indicative of results in local currency. As we operate in various foreign countries where the local currency may strengthen or weaken significantly versus the U.S. dollar or other currencies used in operations, we utilize a constant currency measure as an additional metric to evaluate the underlying performance of each business without consideration of foreign currency movements. We present all percentage changes for net sales, underlying COGS, underlying MG&A and underlying income (loss) before income taxes in constant currency and calculate the impact of foreign exchange by translating our current period local currency results (that also include the impact of the comparable prior period currency hedging activities) at the average exchange rates during the respective period throughout the year used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year period. The result is the current period results in U.S. dollars, as if foreign exchange rates had not changed from the prior year period. Additionally, we exclude any transactional foreign currency impacts, reported within the other non-operating income (expense), net line item, from our current period results.

Our guidance for any of the measures noted above are also non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been adjusted for non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. When we provide guidance for any of the various non-GAAP metrics described above, we do not provide reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjustment items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our Company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable efforts.
