FISCAL YEAR 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
•Constellation’s Beer Business posted depletion growth of over 7% driven by exceptional momentum of our iconic brands, Modelo Especial and Corona Extra, and our next wave brands, Pacifico and the Modelo Chelada brands.
•In IRI channels, the Beer Business outpaced the total U.S. beer category and high-end segment in dollar and volume sales growth, and was the #1 dollar sales share gainer in the total category and high-end segment, adding 1.5 points and 2.2 points, respectively.
•Modelo Especial achieved 9% depletion growth and remained the #2 beer brand and #1 share gainer in the entire U.S. beer category in dollar sales in IRI channels; Modelo Chelada brands posted depletion growth close to 45% and remained the #1 Chelada in the U.S. beer market with nearly 60% share in the chelada segment.
•Corona Extra delivered depletion growth of nearly 4% and was the #4 beer brand and #3 dollar sales share gainer in the entire U.S. beer category in IRI channels.
•Operating margin decreased 170 basis points to 38.3%, as benefits from favorable pricing were more than offset by increased COGS, SG&A, and marketing costs.
FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
•Constellation’s Beer Business posted depletion growth of over 6% driven by the continued strength of Modelo Especial and Corona Extra.
•Modelo Especial posted nearly 6% depletion growth and was the #1 dollar sales share gainer within the entire U.S. beer category in IRI channels, while Corona Extra achieved 2% depletion growth.
•Operating margin decreased 510 basis points to 34.1%, as benefits from favorable pricing were more than offset by increased COGS driven by higher packaging, raw materials, incremental depreciation, and logistics costs, and increased SG&A driven by increased headcount to align with the momentum of our beer brands.

•Operating margin increased 10 basis points to 22.8%, driven by benefits from favorable mix including non-branded sales, and optimization initiatives including cost saving actions and enhanced marketing spend; these were largely offset by lower volume, higher materials and transportation costs, and increased SG&A.
FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
•Our Premium Wine, Fine Wine, and Craft Spirits brand portfolios all delivered depletion growth supported by strong increases across some of our largest higher-end brands, Kim Crawford, Ruffino, The Prisoner Wine Co., Robert Mondavi Winery, Mi CAMPO, and Casa Noble.
•Our DTC channels delivered net sales growth of 35% and our international market net sales declined 2% but grew 6% on an organic basis.

Fiscal 2024 Guidance Assumptions: |
•Beer: net sales growth 7 - 9%; operating income growth 5 - 7% •Wine and Spirits: organic net sales decline 0.5% to growth of 0.5%; operating income growth 2 - 4%, excluding $38.5 million of net sales and $19.5 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the Wine and Spirits Business results •Corporate expense: $270 million •Interest expense: $500 million

The reported basis EPS guidance includes the fiscal 2023 Canopy equity earnings and related activities impact. Our guidance does not reflect future changes in the fair value of the company’s investment in Canopy’s warrants and debt securities. Additionally, the company continues to evaluate the future potential equity earnings impact from the Canopy equity method investment and related activities and, as such, these items have been excluded from the guidance assumptions noted above. |
BEER BUSINESS CAPITAL EXPANSION
The company plans to invest in the next increment of capacity in Mexico that will provide the long-term flexibility needed to support the expected future growth of its high-end Mexican beer portfolio. Total capital expenditures for the Beer Business are expected to be $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion over fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2026. The investment will support the addition of up to 30 million hectoliters of modular capacity and includes the construction of a new brewery in Southeast Mexico in the state of Veracruz, as well as continued modular capacity expansion, optimization, and/or construction at the company's existing sites in Nava and Obregon.

SUPPORTING OUR ENVIRONMENT, COMMUNITIES, AND RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION |
Further advancing Constellation’s water stewardship in communities where it operates with new donation to The Nature Conservancy to protect the Rio Grande watershed, serving communities in the U.S. and Mexico Constellation Brands recently announced a two-year commitment of $400,000 in total contributions to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), whose mission is to “conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.” This contribution will help fund TNC conservation projects focused on improving the quantity and quality of inflows to the Rio Grande, which is the fifth longest river in the world and supplies drinking and irrigation water for more than 6 million people and 2 million acres of land across the U.S. and Mexico. These projects are aimed at helping to provide adequate and safe water supply for downstream users, including in Piedras Negras, Coahuila – a local community near Constellation Brands’ operations in Mexico.
A portion of the contribution will be used to support expanding TNC’s Sustainable Agriculture Program to the Rio Grande Basin. This program will scale TNC’s existing partnerships with state agencies, agricultural producers, and landowners to expand sustainable agriculture and grazing practices in the Rio Grande Basin and help landowners with technical assistance and cost-share programs. This program is designed to partner with agricultural producers to implement changes in water management practices to support conservation and provide meaningful benefits to both water quantity and quality in priority areas.
The remaining contribution will support an ongoing Groundwater Protection Program focused on protecting the regional aquifer systems that feed into the Lower Rio Grande, which are critical to maintaining its health and resiliency. By building strategic partnerships, investing in groundwater conservation science development, and developing groundwater conservation agreements with landowners, this project will be aimed at helping improve water management to protect the largest portion of borderlands water originating in Texas.
These programs complement the company’s water stewardship efforts originating in Mexico and benefitting the local communities surrounding Constellation Brands’ operating facilities in areas like Zaragoza, Coahuila where the company recently helped implement new water infrastructure which has improved water accessibility for the majority of families, or approximately 13,000 people, in this town. |

The company discusses various non-GAAP measures in this news 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 news release.

•actual balance of supply and demand for our products, actual performance of our distributors, and actual demand, net sales, channel proportions, and volume trends for our products;

•amount, timing, and source of funds for any share repurchases, exact duration of share repurchase programs, and number of shares outstanding;
•amount and timing of future dividends which are subject to the determination and discretion of our Board of Directors and may be impacted if our ability to use cash flow to fund dividends is affected by unanticipated increases in total net debt, we are unable to

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 we use 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 periods below consists of the sale of certain mainstream and premium wine brands and related inventory (the "2022 Wine Divestiture") (sold October 6, 2022).

SUMMARIZED SEGMENT INFORMATION
(in millions)
(unaudited)
Management excludes items that affect comparability from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these comparable adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and the incentive compensation of segment management are evaluated based on core segment operating income (loss) which does not include the impact of these comparable adjustments. Amounts included below for Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy”) represent 100% of Canopy’s reported results on a two-month lag, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. Although we own less than 100% of the outstanding shares of Canopy, 100% of its results are included in the information below and subsequently eliminated in order to reconcile to our consolidated financial statements.

(1)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.
(2)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.

Free Cash Flow Guidance Free cash flow, as defined in the reconciliation below, is considered a liquidity measure and is considered to provide useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated, which can then be used, after required debt service and dividend payments, for other general corporate purposes. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flow from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
