•Our Beer Business achieved a solid 8% net sales increase bolstered by a 7.6% rise in shipment volumes.
•Depletion volume had strong growth of 6.4% excluding the impact of the craft beer divestitures in fiscal 2024. The increase was driven by ongoing high demand across most of our portfolio, led by growth in Modelo Especial of approximately 11%, Pacifico of approximately 21%, and the Modelo Chelada brands of over 5%; Corona Extra depletions declined over 1%, but the brand is still expected to deliver depletion growth for fiscal 2025.
•In Circana channels, our Beer Business was the #1 dollar share gainer for the 11th consecutive quarter and #1 volume share gainer in the total beer category in the U.S., adding 1.4 and 1.3 points, respectively. Our dollar sales and volume growth outpaced the total beer category by 7.8 and 8.6 percentage points, respectively, and the high-end segment by 5.6 and 6.0 percentage points, respectively.
•Additionally, our Beer Business had 4 of the top 15 dollar share gaining brands across the total Beer category as:
◦Modelo Especial accelerated its growth in tracked channels and 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 was the #4 dollar share gainer across the overall beer category; and
◦Modelo Chelada brands sustained solid momentum as Modelo Chelada Limón y Sal was a top 10 overall dollar share gainer in the U.S. beer market.
•Operating margin increased 260 basis points to 40.6% supported by fixed cost absorption driven by net sales growth, benefits from ongoing cost saving initiatives, and timing and efficiencies in marketing investments partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency and incremental depreciation from brewery capacity expansions.
•The Beer Business continues to expect net sales growth of 7 - 9% and operating income growth outlook of 10 - 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.

HIGHLIGHTS
•Our Wine and Spirits net sales declined 7% driven by a 5.1% 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.
•Operating margin decreased 370 basis points to 15.3% primarily driven by lower volumes and higher COGS which more than offset benefits from lower other SG&A and marketing expenses.
•The Wine and Spirits Business reaffirmed its outlook for fiscal 2025 of net sales decline of 0.5% to growth of 0.5% and operating income decline of 9 - 11%, inclusive of commercial and operational initiatives underway to address broader market headwinds; see fiscal 2025 Guidance Assumptions under Outlook for more information.

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,” “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. The Projections are based on management’s current expectations and, unless otherwise noted, do not take into account the impact of any future acquisition, investment, merger, or other business combination, divestiture (including any associated amount of incremental contingent consideration payment paid or received), restructuring or other strategic business realignment, or financing or share repurchase that may be completed after the issuance of this release. 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.

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.
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.
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.
