HIGHLIGHTS
•Our Beer Business reported a net sales decrease of 2% driven by a 3.3% decline in shipment volumes reflecting socioeconomic headwinds affecting consumer demand.
•Operating margin decreased 150 basis points to 39.1% primarily due to increased COGS (inclusive of aluminum tariffs), marketing investments, and other SG&A, as well as lower fixed cost absorption benefits.
•Depletions decreased 2.6% largely driven by declines for Modelo Especial of approximately 4%, Corona Extra of
just over 7%, and the Modelo Chelada brands of nearly 3%, partly offset by growth in Pacifico of more than 13%. When adjusted for one less selling day, the Beer Business generated a 1.2% depletion decline.
just over 7%, and the Modelo Chelada brands of nearly 3%, partly offset by growth in Pacifico of more than 13%. When adjusted for one less selling day, the Beer Business generated a 1.2% depletion decline.
•Our Beer Business was the #1 dollar share gainer and had 6 of the top 15 dollar share gaining brands in Circana channels across the entire U.S. beer category as:

(2) Includes adjustments to remove volumes associated with the SVEDKA Divestiture (as defined below) for the period March 1, 2024, through May 31, 2024.
(3) Three months ended May 31, 2024, includes $36.0 million of net sales and $14.0 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the wine and spirits segment results due to the SVEDKA Divestiture.
HIGHLIGHTS
•Our Wine and Spirits net sales declined 28% driven by a 30.4% decrease in shipment volumes, reflecting the impact of the SVEDKA Divestiture, as well as cadence of shipments to better align with ongoing weaker consumer demand particularly affecting the mainstream price segments in the U.S. wholesale market.
•Operating margin decreased from 15.3% to (2.1%) as marketing and other SG&A efficiencies were more than offset by lower contractual distributor payments and other adverse variances arising from changes in volume related contractual obligations.
•The closing of the 2025 Wine Divestitures (as defined below) transaction on June 2, 2025 fully aligns our Wine and Spirits portfolio with higher-growth, higher-margin brands driven by consumer-led premiumization trends.
◦In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, our remaining portfolio delivered U.S depletion growth of approximately 2%.
◦In addition, our remaining wine portfolio outpaced the corresponding higher-end wine segment in both dollar sales and volume year-over-year performance in Circana U.S. tracked channels.
•The Wine and Spirits Business continues to expect organic net sales decline of 17 - 20% and organic operating income decline of 97 - 100%.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Reported basis (“reported”) are derived from amounts as reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Comparable basis (“comparable”) are amounts which exclude items that affect comparability (“comparable adjustments”), as they are not reflective of core operations of the segments. The company’s measure of segment profitability excludes comparable adjustments, which is consistent with the measure used by management to evaluate results. The company discusses various non-GAAP measures in this news release (“release”). 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,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “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 estimates, expectations, plans, and timetables reflected in the Projections are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such estimates, expectations, plans, and timetables 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:

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

Undesignated commodity derivative contracts
Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts represents a net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of undesignated commodity derivative contracts. The net gain (loss) is reported outside of segment operating results until such time that the underlying exposure is recognized in the segment operating results. At settlement, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the undesignated commodity derivative contracts is reported in the appropriate operating segment, allowing the results of our operating segments to reflect the economic effects of the commodity derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility.

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.
