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 financial information for the three months ended May 31, 2022, has been restated to conform to the new segment presentation. For additional information, refer to Note 13.

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Overview

Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the three months ended May 31, 2023.

We have an investment in certain equity securities and other rights which provide us with the option to purchase an additional ownership interest in the equity securities of Canopy (see Note 7). This investment is included in other assets and is accounted for at fair value, with the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of this investment recognized in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments (see Note 4). We intend to surrender this investment for cancellation upon completion of the Canopy Transaction and if we elect to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares.

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, 2023, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $2.9 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on May 31, 2023, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

4. 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


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2024 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 8


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

that are not active, 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:

Foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts

The fair value is estimated using market-based inputs, obtained from independent pricing services, entered into valuation models. These valuation models require various inputs, including contractual terms, market foreign exchange prices, market commodity prices, interest-rate yield curves, and currency volatilities, as applicable (Level 2 fair value measurement).

Interest rate swap 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).

Canopy investment

In April 2023, we extended the maturity of the remaining C$100.0 million principal amount of our Canopy Debt Securities by exchanging them for the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note. As such, our investment in Canopy is comprised of the (i) Canopy Equity Method Investment, (ii) November 2018 Canopy Warrants, and (iii) 2023 Canopy Promissory Note. The November 2018 Canopy Warrants and the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note are measured at fair value. Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that neither of these instruments had future economic value given Canopy’s stock price relative to the exercise price of the warrants and the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, prior to the maturity of the note. Accordingly, the fair value of the remaining balances for these instruments were determined to be zero. This reduction in fair value is included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2023. If the Canopy Amendment is authorized by Canopy’s shareholders, we intend to negotiate an exchange of the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares, although neither we nor Canopy has any binding obligation to do so, and we also intend to surrender the November 2018 Canopy Warrants for cancellation upon completion of the Canopy Transaction and if we elect to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares.

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 term loan under our term loan credit agreement is a variable interest rate bearing note with a fixed margin, adjustable based upon our debt rating. The carrying value approximates the fair value of the term loan. The fair value of the remaining 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).

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, 2023, and February 28, 2023, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of May 31, 2023, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,537.9 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,735.9 million. As of February 28, 2023, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,296.0 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,236.0 million.

Equity method investments

We evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of May 31, 2023, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the fair value being less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recorded significant costs in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 results designed to align its Canadian cannabis operations and resources in response to continued unfavorable market trends, (iii) the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, and (iv) Canopy’s identification of material misstatements in certain of its previously reported financial results related to sales in its BioSteel reporting unit that were accounted for incorrectly, including the recording of a goodwill impairment during its restated second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

value of $266.2 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $142.7 million, resulting in an impairment of $123.5 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the three months ended May 31, 2023. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of May 31, 2023.

(1)Purchase accounting allocations associated with the acquisitions of Austin Cocktails, Lingua Franca, and My Favorite Neighbor, LLC.

Divestiture

Wine Divestiture

On October 6, 2022, we sold certain of our mainstream and premium wine brands and related inventory. The net cash proceeds from the Wine Divestiture were utilized primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings. Prior to the Wine Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of these brands in the Wine and Spirits segment.

Acquisitions

Austin Cocktails

In April 2022, we acquired the remaining 73% ownership interest in Austin Cocktails, which included a portfolio of small batch, RTD cocktails. This transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill and a trademark. In addition, the purchase price for Austin Cocktails includes an earn-out over five years based on performance. The results of operations of Austin Cocktails are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Lingua Franca

In March 2022, we acquired the Lingua Franca business, including a collection of Oregon-based luxury wines, a vineyard, and a production facility. This transaction also included the acquisition of a trademark and inventory. In addition, the purchase price for Lingua Franca includes an earn-out over seven years based on performance. The results of operations of Lingua Franca are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Subsequent event

Craft Beer Divestitures

In June 2023, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures. The Craft Beer Divestitures are consistent with our strategic focus on continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins and enhancements to our results of operations.

Plan to convert Canopy common stock ownership

In October 2022, we entered into a Consent Agreement with Canopy pursuant to which we have provided our consent, subject to certain conditions, to the Canopy Transaction. Canopy only holds non-voting and non-


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2024 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 12


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

participating exchangeable shares of Canopy USA which are convertible into Class B shares of Canopy USA. Third-party investors hold 100% of the common shares of Canopy USA.

In connection with the Canopy Transaction, Canopy has proposed to amend its share capital to (i) create Exchangeable Shares and (ii) restate the rights of Canopy common shares to provide for their conversion into Exchangeable Shares through the Canopy Amendment. Canopy has stated its intention to hold a special meeting of its shareholders to consider the Canopy Amendment. We have entered into a voting support agreement with Canopy to vote in favor of the Canopy Amendment.

If the Canopy Transaction is completed and the Canopy Amendment is authorized by Canopy’s shareholders and adopted by Canopy, we intend, subject to a final decision in our sole discretion, to exercise our right to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares.

Assuming the completion of the Canopy Transaction and the transactions contemplated by the Consent Agreement and that we elect to convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares:

•we intend to surrender our November 2018 Canopy Warrants to Canopy for cancellation;

•we will only have an interest in Exchangeable Shares, which are non-voting and non-participating securities, and our 2023 Canopy Promissory Note (for which we intend to negotiate an exchange of the principal amount for Exchangeable Shares, although neither we nor Canopy has any binding obligation to do so);

•we intend to terminate all legacy agreements and commercial arrangements between ourselves and Canopy, including the investor rights agreement but excluding the Consent Agreement and certain termination agreements;

•we will have no further governance rights in relation to Canopy, including rights to nominate members to the board of directors of Canopy or approval rights related to certain transactions,

•all of our nominees will resign from the board of directors of Canopy; and

•as our investment in Canopy common shares makes up our Canopy Equity Method Investment, we expect to no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy, which we expect will instead be accounted for at fair value with changes reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

If we do not convert our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares:

•Canopy and its subsidiaries will not be permitted to exercise any rights to acquire shares and interests in entities carrying on cannabis-related business in the U.S.;

•Canopy USA will be required to exercise its repurchase rights to acquire the interests in Canopy USA held by its third-party investors; and

•we will continue to have all existing rights under our agreements with Canopy that predate the Consent Agreement, including governance rights in respect of Canopy (such as board nomination rights and approval rights in respect of certain transactions).

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the April 2022 Term 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 2022 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility. As of May 31, 2023, we had $819.1 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.6% and a weighted average remaining term of twelve days.

Senior notes

In May 2023, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.90% senior notes due May 2033. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $740.0 million. Interest on the 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2023. The 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to February 1, 2033, 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 25 basis points. On or after February 1, 2033, we may redeem the 4.90% May 2023 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 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

For the three months ended May 31, 2023, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of a change in tax entity classification and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

(1)Prior to the Reclassification, we had an additional class of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class B Stock. Shares of Class B Stock were convertible into shares of Class A Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder. In November 2022, we completed the Reclassification at the Effective Time as contemplated by the Reclassification Agreement. Pursuant to the Reclassification, each share of Class B Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was reclassified, exchanged, and converted into one share of Class A Stock and the right to receive $64.64 in cash, without interest. The aggregate cash payment to holders of Class B Stock at the Effective Time was $1.5 billion.

Stock repurchases

In January 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock. The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2021 Authorization become treasury shares. For the three months ended May 31, 2023, we repurchased 153,937 shares of Class A Stock through open market transactions pursuant to this authorization at an aggregate cost of $35.0 million.

As of May 31, 2023, total shares repurchased under the 2021 Authorization are as follows:


			Class A Common Shares

11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI

For the three months ended May 31, 2023, 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-dilutive effect on the net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI. The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for Class A Stock are as follows:


	For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2023
(in millions, except per share data)
Net income (loss) attributable to CBI	$	135.9

Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic	183.270

Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted	183.863

Net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI – basic	$	0.74
Net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI – diluted	$	0.74

For the three months ended May 31, 2022, net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock has been computed using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of Class B Stock as this method is more dilutive than the two-class method. For the three months ended May 31, 2022, net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class B Stock has been computed using the two-class method and does not assume conversion of Class B Stock into shares of Class A Stock. The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are as follows:
