We also had non-cash investing activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $165.5 million and $119.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables was $10.2 million and $8.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Supplier Financing
We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. with $172.7 million and $145.1 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Certain of our noncontrolling interests have redemption features that are outside of our control, such as those subject to put options exercisable at a future date. We account for these as redeemable noncontrolling interests and present the balances separately from stockholders' equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded attributable net losses of $97.5 million and adjustments to redemption value of $82.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded attributable net losses of $108.1 million and adjustments to redemption value of $83.5 million. The adjustments to redemption value were recorded as increases to redeemable noncontrolling interests on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was no material activity related to redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Fevertree Transactions
During the first quarter of 2025, we obtained exclusive rights via a license agreement to produce, market and sell Fever-Tree products in the U.S. In connection with this agreement, we acquired the shares of the Fevertree USA, Inc. entity, with the immaterial acquisition accounted for as a business combination and consideration allocated primarily to working capital balances. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond the beer aisle.
Further, during the first quarter of 2025, we made a minority investment of $88.1 million in Fevertree Drinks plc, a listed entity on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:FEVR). As of September 30, 2025, we continue to hold a minority interest in the entity. See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion.
Purchases of Annuity Contracts
On September 26, 2024, we purchased annuity contracts for two of our Canadian pension plans which transferred approximately $344 million of pension plan liabilities, along with the associated administration of benefits, to an insurance company using the plan's respective pension plan assets. As a result, a settlement loss of $34.0 million was recorded to other pension and postretirement benefit (costs), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of 2024.
Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. Buyout
In March 2024, our partner of Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K." or "CBPL") exercised a put option under our partnership agreement which required us to acquire the remaining 49.9% ownership interest. During the third quarter of 2024, we adjusted our NCI by $34.5 million to our best estimate of the redemption value that existed at the time of the put option exercise by increasing our net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and decreasing our net income attributable to MCBC. In addition, we received the final determination of the redemption value in October 2024 and as the transaction was considered mandatorily redeemable, we recorded an adjustment of $45.8 million to interest expense in the EMEA&APAC segment during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

On April 12, 2025, Gavin D.K. Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company and a member of the Board informed the Company and the Board that he intends to retire from the Company and as a member of the Board, in each case, by December 31, 2025.

Hattersley will remain employed by the Company in an advisory role to assist in the transition until December 31, 2025, or an earlier date as determined by Gavin D.K. Hattersley or the Company.
Americas Restructuring Plan
On October 20, 2025, the Company announced an Americas restructuring plan designed to create a leaner, more agile Americas segment while advancing its ability to reinvest in the business and position the Company for future growth. The restructuring plan involves the planned elimination of approximately 400 salaried positions across the Americas segment by the end of December 2025. In connection with the restructuring, the Company currently expects to incur certain restructuring charges, in the range of $35 million to $50 million, which are expected to be future cash expenditures to be made over the next 12 months. Substantially all of the charges are expected to be related to severance payments and post-employment benefits to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2025.
