We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. with $140.8 million and $157.7 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Certain 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 outside of stockholders' equity on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, there was no material activity related to redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Fevertree Transaction
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.
Subsequent Event
On April 1, 2026, we acquired Atomic Brands, Inc., the maker of Monaco Cocktails ("Monaco") for a purchase price of $275 million (subject to adjustment for net working capital). Monaco is a pioneering brand in the ready-to-drink ("RTD") cocktail segment known for combining bold flavors and quality with convenient ready-to-drink packaging. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond the beer aisle, especially into RTD cocktails.
