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, 2021, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $0.1 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on May 31, 2021, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

5. 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 that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as volatility, interest rates, and yield curves that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly; and


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2022 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 9


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

•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 for each class 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).

Canopy investment

Equity securities, Warrants – The November 2018 Canopy Warrants consist of three tranches of warrants, including 88.5 million Tranche A Warrants expiring November 1, 2023, which are currently exercisable, 38.4 million Tranche B Warrants expiring November 1, 2026, and 12.8 million Tranche C Warrants expiring November 1, 2026. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the November 2018 Canopy Warrants are as follows(1) (2):


	May 31, 2021						February 28, 2021
	Tranche A Warrants (3)			Tranche B Warrants (4)			Tranche A Warrants (3)			Tranche B Warrants (4)
Exercise price (5)	C$	50.40		C$	76.68		C$	50.40		C$	76.68
Valuation date stock price (6)	C$	30.25		C$	30.25		C$	41.90		C$	41.90
Remaining contractual term (7)	2.4 years			5.4 years			2.7 years			5.7 years
Expected volatility (8)	70.0		%	70.0		%	70.0		%	70.0		%
Risk-free interest rate (9)	0.4		%	1.0		%	0.5		%	1.1		%
Expected dividend yield (10)	0.0		%	0.0		%	0.0		%	0.0		%

(1)The exercise price for the Tranche C Warrants is based on the VWAP Exercise Price and are not included in the table as there is no fair value assigned.

(2)In connection with the Acreage Transaction, we obtained other rights which include a share repurchase credit. If Canopy has not purchased the lesser of 27,378,866 Canopy common shares, or C$1,583.0 million worth of Canopy common shares for cancellation between April 18, 2019, and two-years after the full exercise of the Tranche A Warrants, we will be credited an amount that will reduce the aggregate exercise price otherwise payable upon each exercise of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants. The credit will be an amount equal to the difference between C$1,583.0 million and the actual price paid by Canopy in purchasing its common shares for cancellation. The likelihood of receiving the share repurchase credit if we were to fully exercise the Tranche A Warrants is remote, therefore, no fair value has been assigned.

(3)The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement).

(4)The fair value is estimated using Monte Carlo simulations (Level 2 fair value measurement).

(5)Based on the exercise price from the applicable underlying agreements.

(6)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common stock on the TSX as of the applicable date.

(7)Based on the expiration date of the warrants.

(8)Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security and limited consideration of historical peer group volatility levels.

(9)Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expiration date of the applicable warrants.

(10)Based on historical dividend levels.

Debt securities, Convertible – We have elected the fair value option to account for the Canopy Debt Securities for C$200.0 million, or $150.5 million. Interest income on the Canopy Debt Securities is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognized separately from the changes in fair value in interest expense. The Canopy Debt Securities have a contractual maturity of five years from the date of issuance but may be converted prior to maturity by either party upon the occurrence of certain events. At settlement, the Canopy Debt Securities can be settled at the option of the issuer, in cash, equity shares of the issuer, or a combination thereof. The fair value is estimated using a binomial lattice option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement), which includes an estimate of the credit spread based on market spreads using bond data as of the valuation date.

The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Canopy Debt Securities are as follows:


	May 31, 2021			February 28, 2021
Conversion price (1)	C$	48.17		C$	48.17
Valuation date stock price (2)	C$	30.25		C$	41.90
Remaining term (3)	2.1 years			2.4 years
Expected volatility (4)	70.0		%	57.6		%
Risk-free interest rate (5)	0.3		%	0.4		%
Expected dividend yield (6)	0.0		%	0.0		%

(1)Based on the rate which the Canopy Debt Securities may be converted into equity shares, or the equivalent amount of cash, at the option of the issuer.

(2)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common stock on the TSX as of the applicable date.

(3)Based on the contractual maturity date of the notes.

(4)Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security, and for February 28, 2021, the volatility was reduced for certain risks associated with debt securities.

(5)Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the remaining contractual term of the Canopy Debt Securities.

(6)Based on historical dividend levels.

Long-term debt

The term loan under our March 2020 Term 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, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings, approximate fair value as of May 31, 2021, and February 28, 2021, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of May 31, 2021, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,444.2 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $11,476.0 million. As of February 28, 2021, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,442.3 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $11,580.9 million.

For the Three Months Ended May 31, 2020
Long-lived assets held for sale	$	—	$	—	$	784.0	$	25.0

Long-lived assets

In April 2021, our Board of Directors authorized management to sell or abandon the Mexicali Brewery. Subsequently, management determined that we will be unable to use or repurpose certain assets at the Mexicali Brewery. Accordingly, long-lived assets with a carrying value of $685.9 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $20.0 million, resulting in an impairment of $665.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. This impairment was included in impairment of brewery construction in progress within our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Our estimate of fair value was determined based on the expected salvage value of the assets as of May 31, 2021. The Mexicali Brewery is a component of the Beer segment. We are continuing to work with government officials in Mexico to (i) determine next steps for our suspended Mexicali Brewery construction project and (ii) pursue various forms of recovery for capitalized costs and additional expenses incurred in establishing the brewery, however, there can be no assurance of any recoveries. In the medium-term, under normal operating conditions, we have ample capacity at the Nava and Obregon breweries to meet consumer needs based on current growth forecasts and current and planned production capabilities. To align with our anticipated future growth expectations we are also working with the Mexican government to explore options to add further capacity at other locations in Mexico where there is ample water and a skilled workforce to meet our long-term needs.

Long-lived assets held for sale

For the three months ended May 31, 2020, in connection with the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and the Concentrate Business Divestiture, long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying value of $809.0 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $784.0 million, less costs to sell, resulting in a loss of $25.0 million. This loss was included in impairment of assets held for sale within our consolidated results of operations. These assets consisted primarily of goodwill, intangible assets, and certain winery and vineyard assets which had satisfied the conditions necessary to be classified as held for sale. Our estimated fair value was determined based on the expected proceeds primarily from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and the Concentrate Business Divestiture as of May 31, 2020, excluding the contingent consideration, which we will recognize when it is determined to be realizable.

(1)Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings, outstanding letters of credit under the 2020 Credit Agreement, and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program (excluding unamortized discount) (see “Commercial paper program” below).

(2)Outstanding term loan facilities borrowings are net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2020 Credit Agreement and the March 2020 Term Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional 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 $2.0 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement. As of May 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program.

Subsequent events

In June 2021, the Company and the Administrative Agent and Lender amended the March 2020 Term Credit Agreement. The principal change effected by the amendment was a reduction in LIBOR margin from 0.88% to 0.63% from June 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. Also in June 2021, we prepaid $142.1 million in 2019 Five-Year Term Facility outstanding borrowings under the March 2020 Term Credit Agreement.

10. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2021, was 1.5% of tax benefit as compared with 153.1% of tax expense for the three months ended May 31, 2020.

For the three months ended May 31, 2021, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to:

•valuation allowances on the net unrealized loss from changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and Canopy equity in earnings (losses); and

•the impact of the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress; partially offset by

•the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

For the three months ended May 31, 2020, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to:

•valuation allowances on the net unrealized loss from changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and Canopy equity in earnings (losses); and

14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our internal management financial reporting consists of three business divisions: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Canopy and we report our operating results in four segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, (iii) Corporate Operations and Other, and (iv) Canopy. The Canopy Equity Method Investment makes up the Canopy segment.

In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported beer, craft beer, and ABA brands. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to import, market, and sell our Mexican beer portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a portfolio that includes higher-margin, higher-growth wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate growth and strategy, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal, public relations, and information technology, as well as our investments made through our corporate venture capital function. All costs included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment are general costs that are applicable to the consolidated group and are, therefore, not allocated to the other reportable segments. All costs reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our CODM’s evaluation of the operating income (loss) performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management, and the structure of our internal financial reporting. Long-lived tangible assets and total asset information by segment is not provided to, or reviewed by, our CODM as it is not used to make strategic decisions, allocate resources, or assess performance.

In addition, management excludes Comparable Adjustments 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 do not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.

We evaluate segment operating performance based on operating income (loss) of the respective business units. Comparable Adjustments that impacted comparability in our segment operating income (loss) for each period are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

This MD&A provides additional information on our businesses, current developments, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2021 Annual Report. This MD&A is organized as follows:

Overview. This section provides a general description of our business, which we believe is important in understanding the results of our operations, financial condition, and potential future trends.

Strategy. This section provides a description of our strategy and a discussion of significant investments, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations presented on a business segment basis for First Quarter 2022 and First Quarter 2021. In addition, a brief description of significant transactions and other items that affect the comparability of the results is provided.

Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows, outstanding debt, and a discussion of the amount of financial capacity available to fund our ongoing operations and future commitments, as well as a discussion of other financing arrangements.

Overview

We are an international producer and marketer of beer, wine, and spirits with operations in the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, and Italy with powerful, consumer-connected, high-quality brands like Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Robert Mondavi, Kim Crawford, Meiomi, and SVEDKA Vodka. In the U.S., we are one of the top growth contributors at retail among beverage alcohol suppliers. We are the third-largest beer company and a leader in the high-end of the U.S. beer market and a higher-end wine and spirits company with many of our products as leaders in their respective categories. Our strong market positions make us a supplier of choice to many of our consumers and our customers, who include wholesale distributors, retailers, and on-premise locations. We conduct our business through entities we wholly own as well as through a variety of joint ventures and other entities.

Our internal management financial reporting consists of three business divisions: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Canopy and we report our operating results in four segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, (iii) Corporate Operations and Other, and (iv) Canopy. Our Canopy Equity Method Investment makes up the Canopy segment.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2022 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 25


MD&A			Table of Contents

In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported beer, craft beer, and ABA brands. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to import, market, and sell our Mexican beer portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, our portfolio includes higher-margin, higher-growth wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate growth and strategy, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal, public relations, and information technology, as well as our investments made through our corporate venture capital function. All costs included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment are general costs that are applicable to the consolidated group and are, therefore, not allocated to the other reportable segments. All costs reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our CODM’s evaluation of the operating income (loss) performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management, and the structure of our internal financial reporting.

Strategy

Business strategy

Our overall strategy is to drive growth and shape the future of our industry by building brands that people love and delivering unrivaled value to our shareholders. We endeavor to position our portfolio to benefit from the consumer-led premiumization trend, which we believe will continue to drive faster growth rates in the higher-end of the beer, wine, and spirits categories.

To capitalize on consumer-led premiumization trends, become more competitive, and grow our business, we have employed a strategy dedicated to a combination of organic growth and acquisitions, with a focus on the higher-margin, higher-growth categories of the beverage alcohol industry. Key elements of our strategy include:

•leverage our leading position in total beverage alcohol and our scale with wholesalers and retailers to expand distribution of our product portfolio;

•strengthen relationships with wholesalers and retailers by providing consumer and beverage alcohol insights;

•invest in brand building and innovation activities;

•position ourselves for success with consumer-led products that identify, meet, and stay ahead of evolving consumer trends and market dynamics;

•realize operating efficiencies by expanding and enhancing production capabilities and maximizing asset utilization; and

•develop employees to enhance performance in the marketplace.

Our business strategy for the Beer segment focuses on leading the high-end segment of the U.S. beer market. This includes continued focus on growing our beer portfolio in the U.S. through expanding distribution for key brands, as well as NPD and innovation within the existing portfolio of brands, and continued expansion and construction activities for our Mexico beer operations. Additionally, in an effort to more fully compete in growing sectors of the high-end segment of the U.S. beer market, we have leveraged our innovation capabilities to introduce new brands that align with consumer trends.

Expansion efforts continue under our Mexico Beer Projects to align with our anticipated future growth expectations. However, at this time, we have suspended all Mexicali Brewery construction activities, following a negative result from a public consultation held in Mexico.

Our strategy for the Wine and Spirits segment is to build an industry-leading portfolio of higher-end wine and spirits brands. We are investing to meet the evolving needs of consumers, including launching direct-to-consumer and eCommerce platforms; building brands through consumer insights, sensory expertise, and innovation; and refreshing existing brands, as we continue to focus on moving our branded wine and spirits portfolio towards a higher-margin, higher-growth portfolio of brands. We focus our innovation and investment dollars on brands within our portfolio which position us to benefit from the consumer-led trend towards

premiumization. Additionally, in connection with the recent divestitures, we expect to optimize the value of our wine and spirits portfolio by driving increased focus on our higher-end brands to accelerate growth and improve overall operating margins. In markets where it is feasible, we entered into a contractual arrangement to consolidate our U.S. distribution in order to obtain dedicated distributor selling resources which focus on our U.S. wine and spirits portfolio to drive organic growth. This U.S. distributor currently represents about 70% of our branded wine and spirits volume in the U.S. Throughout the terms of this arrangement, we generally expect shipments on an annual basis, in these markets, to essentially equal the distributor’s shipments to retailers.

Marketing, sales, and distribution of our products are managed on a geographic basis allowing us to leverage leading market positions. In addition, market dynamics and consumer trends vary across each of our markets. Within our primary market in the U.S., we offer a range of beverage alcohol products across the imported beer, craft beer, ABA, branded wine, and spirits categories, with generally separate distribution networks utilized for (i) our beer portfolio and (ii) our wine and spirits portfolio. The environment for our products is competitive in each of our markets.

We complement our strategy with our investment in Canopy, by expanding our portfolio into adjacent categories. Canopy is a leading cannabis company with operations in countries across the world. This investment is consistent with our long-term strategy to identify, address, and stay ahead of evolving consumer trends and market dynamics. We expanded our strategic relationship with Canopy to help position it as a global leader in cannabis production, branding, intellectual property, and retailing.

We remain committed to our long-term financial model of: growing sales, expanding margins, and increasing cash flow in order to achieve earnings per share growth, maintain our targeted leverage ratio, and deliver returns to shareholders through the payment of dividends and periodic share repurchases. Our results of operations and financial condition have not been significantly affected by inflation and changing prices. In the event of future rising costs, we intend to pass along such rising costs through increased selling prices, subject to normal competitive conditions. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to pass along rising costs through increased selling prices. In addition, we continue to identify on-going cost savings initiatives.

CSR strategy

Our CSR strategy is designed to align with our business goals and stakeholder interests, reflect our company values, and more directly address pressing societal needs. Specifically, we dedicate our resources towards four focus areas:

Model water stewardship for our industry – We have made water conservation and stewardship the focus of our sustainability initiatives. We are committed to increasing site water efficiency, maintaining source availability and quality, using our relationships to advance conservation efforts, and reporting transparently.

Being a champion for the professional development and advancement of women – We are committed to providing resources to support the advancement of women within our company, our communities, and our industry.

Serving as a catalyst for economic development and prosperity for disadvantaged communities – We are committed to addressing the needs of disadvantaged communities, with a focus on Latinx/Hispanic and Black/African American communities.

Be a culture carrier of responsible consumption – We are committed to empowering adults to make responsible choices in their alcohol (substance) consumption by supporting fact-based education, engagement programs, and policies. We are evolving our approach to responsible consumption by embracing a contemporary mindset that aligns with consumer betterment trends.

During First Quarter 2022 we took the following steps to advance our CSR strategy:


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2022 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 27


MD&A			Table of Contents

•made a $1.75 million multi-year commitment to the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation to support “Restaurants Advance program” in support of rebuilding the industry workforce;

•contributed $500,000 to UnidosUS to strengthen Hispanic families’ financial security through financial literacy and home ownership programs;

•Corona collaborated with Oceanic Global, a non-profit leader in ocean conservation, to clean up and remove plastic from beaches and waterways; and

•As part of our intent to invest $100 million by fiscal 2031 in support of African American/Black and minority-owned businesses we:

◦made a $10 million commitment to Clear Vision Fund to support African American and Latinx-owned businesses, businesses that operate in or serve underserved markets, and businesses that foster inclusive growth; and

◦completed investments in minority-owned La Fête du Rosé and Sapere Aude.

COVID-19

COVID-19 containment measures affected us predominantly in the first half of Fiscal 2021 primarily in the reduction of (i) depletion volume on our products in the on-premise business due to bar and restaurant closures and (ii) shipment volume related to the reduced production activity at our major breweries in Mexico which we were able to rectify in the second half of Fiscal 2021. The on-premise business has historically been about 10% to 15% of our depletion volume for beer, wine, and spirits. In Fiscal 2022, we expect our on-premise depletion volumes to return to more normal levels as the Federal Drug Administration approved COVID-19 vaccines are administered across the U.S. and states fully reopen their economies, including bars and restaurants. Currently, our breweries, wineries, and bottling facilities are open and operational.

In response to COVID-19, we have ensured our ongoing liquidity and financial flexibility through cash preservation initiatives, capital expense reductions, and cost control measures. We have used opportunities to defer some payments including certain payroll taxes under the CARES Act afforded to us during the pandemic. We are not able to estimate the long-term impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flow. We believe we have sufficient liquidity available from operating cash flow, cash on hand, and availability under our $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. We expect to have continued access to capital markets and to be able to continue to return value to shareholders through dividends and periodic share repurchases.

In March 2020, we sold the Ballast Point craft beer business, including a number of its associated production facilities and brewpubs. This divestiture is consistent with our strategic focus on our high-performing import portfolio.

Wine and Spirits segment

Paul Masson Divestiture

In January 2021, we sold the Paul Masson Grande Amber Brandy brand, related inventory, and interests in certain contracts. We recognized a net gain of $58.8 million on the sale of business primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. This divestiture is consistent with our increased focus on consumer-led premiumization trends.

Wine and Spirits Divestitures

In January 2021, we sold a portion of our wine and spirits business, including lower-margin, lower-growth wine and spirits brands, related inventory, interests in certain contracts, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities. We have the potential to earn an incremental $250 million of contingent consideration if certain brand performance targets are met over a two-year period after closing. Also in January 2021, we sold the New Zealand-based Nobilo Wine brand and certain related assets. We recognized a net loss of $33.3 million on the Wine and

Spirits Divestitures primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. These divestitures are consistent with our increased focus on consumer-led premiumization trends.

Concentrate Business Divestiture

In December 2020, we sold certain brands used in our concentrates and high-color concentrate business, and certain related intellectual property, inventory, interests in certain contracts, and other assets. This divestiture is consistent with our focus on consumer-led premiumization trends.

The following presents selected financial information included in our historical consolidated financial statements that are no longer part of our consolidated results of operations following the Paul Masson Divestiture, the Wine and Spirits Divestitures, and the Concentrate Business Divestiture:

Copper & Kings acquisition

In September 2020, we acquired the remaining ownership interest in Copper & Kings which primarily included the acquisition of inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. This acquisition included a collection of traditional and craft batch-distilled American brandies and other select spirits. The results of operations of Copper & Kings are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The Copper & Kings acquisition supported our strategic focus on building an industry-leading portfolio of higher-end spirits brands.

Empathy Wines acquisition

In June 2020, we acquired Empathy Wines, which primarily included the acquisition of goodwill, trademarks, and inventory. This acquisition, which included a digitally-native wine brand, strengthened our position in the direct-to-consumer and eCommerce markets. The results of operations of Empathy Wines are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The Empathy Wines acquisition supported our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

Booker Vineyard investment

In April 2020, we invested in Booker Vineyard, a super-luxury, direct-to-consumer focused wine business that is accounted for under the equity method. We recognize our share of their equity in earnings (losses) in our consolidated financial statements in the Wine and Spirits segment. The Booker Vineyard investment supported our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

Canopy segment

Canopy investment

In May 2020, we exercised the November 2017 Canopy Warrants at an exercise price of C$12.98 per warrant share for C$245.0 million, or $173.9 million. This investment expanded our strategic relationship with Canopy.

Results of Operations

Financial Highlights

References to organic throughout the following discussion exclude the impact of recent divestitures, as appropriate.

For First Quarter 2022 compared with First Quarter 2021:

•Our results of operations were negatively impacted by (i) an impairment of long-lived assets for First Quarter 2022 in connection with certain assets at the Mexicali Brewery, (ii) an increase in unrealized net loss from the changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy, and (iii) a decrease in Wine and Spirits’ net sales due largely to the recent divestitures, partially offset by a decrease in equity in losses from Canopy’s results of operations, as well as improvements within the Beer segment.

•Net sales increased 3% due to an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by volume growth, partially offset by the decrease in Wine and Spirits’ net sales due largely to the recent divestitures.

•Operating income decreased 88% largely due to the impairment of long-lived assets in connection with certain assets at the Mexicali Brewery, partially offset by an increase in Beer net sales in First Quarter 2022 driven by volume growth.

•Net loss attributable to CBI and diluted net loss per common share attributable to CBI increased largely due to the items discussed above, partially offset by a First Quarter 2022 benefit from income taxes as compared with the provision for income taxes for First Quarter 2021.

Comparable Adjustments

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 do not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.

As more fully described herein and in the related Notes, the Comparable Adjustments that impacted comparability in our segment results for each period are as follows:

Cost of product sold

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.

Strategic business development costs

We recognized costs primarily in connection with losses on write-downs of excess inventory and contract terminations resulting from our ongoing efforts to optimize our portfolio, gain efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure within the Wine and Spirits segment.

COVID-19 incremental costs

We recognized costs for incremental wages and hazard payments to employees, purchases of personal protective equipment, more frequent and thorough cleaning and sanitization of our facilities, and costs associated with the unused beer keg reimbursement program with distributors.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Restructuring and other strategic business development costs

We recognized costs primarily in connection with costs to optimize our portfolio, gain efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure within the Wine and Spirits segment (First Quarter 2021).

Net gain (loss) on foreign currency derivative contracts

We recognized a net loss primarily in connection with the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts entered into to fix the U.S. dollar cost of the May 2020 Canopy Investment.

COVID-19 incremental costs

We recognized costs for payments to third-party general contractors to maintain their workforce for expansion activities at the Obregon Brewery and recognized costs for incremental wages and hazard payments to employees.

Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs

We recognized transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs in connection with our investments, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Other gains (losses)

We recognized other gains (losses) primarily in connection with (i) a net gain recognized from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures, partially offset by related transition service agreements activity (First Quarter 2022) and (ii) a gain recognized on the sale of a vineyard (First Quarter 2021).

(1)Depletions represent U.S. domestic distributor shipments of our respective branded products to retail customers, based on third-party data.

The increase in Beer net sales is largely due to (i) $153.6 million of volume growth within our Mexican beer portfolio, which benefited from continued consumer demand and a return to on-premise, including bars and restaurants, and (ii) $31.0 million favorable impact from pricing in select markets within our Mexican beer portfolio. The increase in beer net sales was moderated by supply shortages from severe winter storms in early Fiscal 2022.

(2)Includes an adjustment to remove volume associated with the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and Paul Masson Divestiture for the period March 1, 2020, through May 31, 2020.

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is due to $186.8 million from the recent divestitures, partially offset by a $62.0 million increase in organic net sales. The increase in organic net sales is driven by (i) $26.5 million increase in branded wine and spirits volume attributable to our continued focus on growing our brands and NPD as well as an overlap of lower volumes in First Quarter 2021 mainly from on-premise and retail tasting room closures as a result of COVID-19 containment measures, (ii) $14.6 million increase primarily from bulk wine net sales in connection with the 2020 U.S. wildfires, (iii) $13.0 million increase from favorable product mix shift, and (iv) $3.8 million of favorable pricing. The increase in organic net sales was impacted by (i) global supply chain logistics, (ii) route to market changes, and (iii) shipment delays as a result of implementing the new ERP. For First Quarter 2022, the organic U.S. shipment volume growth trend was ahead of the U.S. depletion volume growth trend largely due to timing related to transition activities with distributors that occurred at the end of Fiscal 2021. We expect U.S. shipment volume growth to be generally aligned with depletion volume growth for Fiscal 2022.


			Canopy segment Our ownership interest in Canopy allows us to exercise significant influence, but not control, and, therefore, we account for our investment in Canopy under the equity method. Amounts included for the Canopy segment represent 100% of Canopy’s reported results on a two-month lag. Accordingly, we recognize our share of Canopy’s earnings (losses) from January through March 2021, in our First Quarter 2022 results and January through March 2020, in our First Quarter 2021 results. Although we own less than 100% of the outstanding shares of Canopy, 100% of the Canopy results are included and subsequently eliminated in order to reconcile to our consolidated financial statements. See “Income (loss) from unconsolidated investments” below for a discussion of Canopy’s net sales, gross profit (loss), selling, general, and administrative expenses, and operating income (loss). This discussion is based on information Canopy has publicly disclosed.

			The increase in Beer is primarily due to $86.0 million of volume growth and $31.0 million of favorable impact from pricing, and $0.9 million of lower cost of product sold. The lower cost of product sold is largely due to $8.2 million of foreign currency transactional benefits, partially offset by increased logistics and operational costs of $5.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The increase in logistics costs primarily consists of $12.5 million increased obsolescence resulting from conservative expiration dates on new SKUs, partially offset by $7.7 million of favorable impact from transitioning certain co-packing capabilities to the Nava Brewery. The increase in operational costs primarily consisted of $14.1 million of brewery costs primarily driven by maintenance and compensation and benefits, partially offset by $12.0 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to an overlap of reduced production in First Quarter 2021 as a result of COVID-19 containment measures.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is due to a decrease of $77.9 million from the recent divestitures, partially offset by a $21.5 million increase in organic gross profit. The increase in organic gross profit is attributable to (i) $13.7 million of growth in branded wine and spirits volume, driven by growth of our brands and NPD as well as the return of our on-premise business, including bars, restaurants, and tasting rooms following COVID-19 containment measures, (ii) $3.8 million of favorable pricing, and (iii) $3.5 million primarily related to favorable direct-to-consumer mix. The increase in organic gross profit was partially offset by unfavorable fixed cost absorption including $2.9 million from decreased production levels at certain facilities as a result of the 2020 U.S. wildfires.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 55.2% for First Quarter 2022 compared with 50.3% for First Quarter 2021. This was largely due to (i) a favorable change of 310 basis points in Comparable Adjustments, (ii) approximately 85 basis points of favorable impact from the recent lower-margin wine and spirits divestitures, (iii) approximately 75 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing in select markets, and (iv) approximately 40 basis points of rate growth from volume increases within the Beer segment, partially offset by unfavorable product mix shift for the Wine and Spirits segment contributing approximately 30 basis points of rate decline.

			The increase in Beer is primarily due to an increase of $26.8 million in marketing spend that was driven by timing. Many of our planned investments to support the growth of our Mexican beer portfolio through media and event sponsorships were suspended or canceled in First Quarter 2021, resulting from COVID-19 containment measures which shifted our normal spend to the second half of fiscal 2021.


			The increase in Wine and Spirits is primarily due to an increase of $3.0 million in general and administrative expenses driven by outside services and higher compensation and benefits.


			The increase in Corporate Operations and Other is largely due to approximately a $6 million increase in consulting services, primarily related to the implementation of a new ERP, and $3 million increase in compensation and benefits, partially offset by a $5 million favorable foreign currency impact as compared to First Quarter 2021.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 18.7% for First Quarter 2022 as compared with 18.0% for First Quarter 2021. The increase is driven largely by approximately 120 basis points of rate growth in connection with the recent wine and spirits divestitures and an increase in Corporate Operations and Other general and administrative expenses, which resulted in approximately 15 basis points of rate growth. The increase was partially offset by the favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 35 basis points of rate decline and the increase in Wine and Spirits organic net sales exceeding the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, adding 20 basis points of rate decline.

			Canopy segment Canopy net sales increased to $117.3 million for First Quarter 2022 from $80.3 million for First Quarter 2021. This increase of $37.0 million, or 46% is primarily attributable to increases in other product sales and Canadian recreational sales. The increase in other sales largely resulted from improvements to U.S. distribution for sales of (i) sports nutrition beverages, mixes, protein, gum, and mints sold by BioSteel and (ii) vaporizers sold by Storz & Bickel GmbH & Co. KG. The Canadian recreational sales for First Quarter 2022 benefited from (i) growth in flower sales, (ii) an increase in availability of vape, beverage, and edible products, and (iii) the opening of retail stores across Canada. Canopy gross profit (loss) increased to $7.7 million for First Quarter 2022 from $(57.3) million for First Quarter 2021. This increase of $65.0 million is primarily driven by decreased restructuring charges and increased net sales, partially offset by an unfavorable product mix in the Canadian recreational market. Canopy selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $484.0 million primarily from a reduction in restructuring charges and stock-based compensation expense. The combination of these factors were the main contributors to the decrease in operating loss of $549.0 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased to $86.7 million for First Quarter 2022 from $100.0 million for First Quarter 2021. This decrease of $13.3 million or 13% is predominantly due to lower average borrowings of approximately $1.9 billion primarily attributable to the partial repayment of financing entered into in connection with the November 2018 Canopy Transaction.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for First Quarter 2021 primarily consists of a make-whole payment in connection with the early redemption of our 2.25% November 2017 senior notes.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

Our effective tax rate for First Quarter 2022 was 1.5% of tax benefit as compared with 153.1% of tax expense for First Quarter 2021. In comparison to prior year, our taxes were positively impacted primarily by:

•higher net income tax benefits recorded on the net unrealized loss from changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and Canopy equity in earnings (losses);

•income tax expense recognized for the First Quarter 2021 in connection with (i) valuation allowances on existing capital loss carryforwards and (ii) legislative and governmental initiatives under the CARES Act; partially offset by

•the effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, including the impact of the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress.

For additional information, refer to Note 10.

We expect our reported effective tax rate for Fiscal 2022 to be in the range of 36% to 38%. This range includes the impacts of the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress and the unrealized net

losses from our Canopy investment for First Quarter 2022. For additional information, refer to Note 5. Since estimates are not currently available, this range does not reflect any future changes in the fair value of our Canopy investment measured at fair value and any future equity in earnings (losses) and related activities from the Canopy Equity Method Investment.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net loss attributable to CBI increased to $(908.1) million for First Quarter 2022 from $(177.9) million for First Quarter 2021. This increase in net loss of $730.2 million is largely attributable to (i) the impairment of long-lived assets in connection with certain assets at the Mexicali Brewery, (ii) the increase in unrealized net loss from the changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy in First Quarter 2022 as compared with First Quarter 2021, and (iii) the decrease in Wine and Spirits’ net sales largely due to the recent divestitures, partially offset by (i) the decrease in equity in losses from Canopy’s results of operations, (ii) the First Quarter 2022 benefit from income taxes as compared with a provision for income taxes for First Quarter 2021, and (iii) volume growth within the Beer segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operating activities. Our ability to consistently generate robust cash flow from our operations is one of our most significant financial strengths, it enables us to invest in our people and our brands, make capital investments and strategic acquisitions, provide a cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock. Our largest use of cash in our operations is for purchasing and carrying inventories and carrying seasonal accounts receivable. Historically, we have used this cash flow to repay our short-term borrowings and fund capital expenditures. Additionally, our commercial paper program is used to fund our short-term borrowing requirements and to maintain our access to the capital markets. We use our short-term borrowings, including our commercial paper program, to support our working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

We seek to maintain adequate liquidity to meet working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, and repay scheduled principal and interest payments on debt. Absent deterioration of market conditions, we believe that cash flows from operating activities and financing activities will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, periodic share repurchases, and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

As of May 31, 2021, the exercise of all Canopy warrants held by us would have required a cash outflow of approximately $6.5 billion based on the terms of the November 2018 Canopy Warrants.

MD&A			Table of Contents

Operating activities

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for First Quarter 2022 is largely due to strong cash flow from the Beer segment driven primarily by the segment’s solid operating results and a decrease in accounts payable resulting from early payments to suppliers at the end of Fiscal 2021 in preparation for a March 1, 2021, ERP implementation. Net cash provided by operating activities for the Wine and Spirits segment benefited from an exclusivity payment in connection with distribution arrangements for our U.S. wine and spirits brand portfolio. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by higher inventory levels for the Beer segment and increased accounts receivable for both the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments for First Quarter 2022 as compared to First Quarter 2021. The higher inventory levels and increased accounts receivable were largely resulting from COVID-19 related containment measures in First Quarter 2021.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for First Quarter 2022 decreased primarily due to the $173.9 million exercise of the November 2017 Canopy Warrants in May 2020 and lower capital expenditures of $30.3 million for First Quarter 2022 as compared with First Quarter 2021. The decrease was partially offset by lower proceeds from sale of business of $36.1 million for First Quarter 2022 as compared with First Quarter 2021.

Debt

Total debt outstanding as of May 31, 2021, amounted to $10,444.2 million, an increase of $1.9 million from February 28, 2021.

Bank facilities

General

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of May 31, 2021, consisted of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from calendar 2022 to calendar 2050, and a variable-rate senior unsecured term loan facility under our March 2020 Term Credit Agreement, originally entered into in June 2019, with a calendar 2024 maturity date.

Additionally, we have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement.

MD&A			Table of Contents

We do not have purchase commitments from buyers for our commercial paper and, therefore, our ability to issue commercial paper is subject to market demand. If the commercial paper market is not available to us for any reason when commercial paper borrowings mature, we will utilize unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement to repay commercial paper borrowings. We do not expect that fluctuations in demand for commercial paper will affect our liquidity given our borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement.

We had the following borrowing capacity available under our 2020 Credit Agreement:


	Remaining Borrowing Capacity
	May 31, 2021		June 25, 2021
(in millions)
Revolving credit facility (1)	$	1,987.8	$	1,987.8

(1)Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under our 2020 Credit Agreement and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program.

The financial institutions participating in our 2020 Credit Agreement have complied with prior funding requests and we believe they will comply with any future funding requests. However, there can be no assurances that any particular financial institution will continue to do so.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in our 2020 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional 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, both as defined in our 2020 Credit Agreement. As of May 31, 2021, under our 2020 Credit Agreement, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net leverage ratio was 4.5x.

The representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default set forth in our March 2020 Term Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those set forth in our 2020 Credit Agreement.

Our indentures relating to our outstanding senior notes contain certain covenants, including, but not limited to: (i) a limitation on liens on certain assets, (ii) a limitation on certain sale and leaseback transactions, and (iii) restrictions on mergers, consolidations, and the transfer of all or substantially all of our assets to another person.

As of May 31, 2021, we were in compliance with our covenants under our 2020 Credit Agreement, our March 2020 Term Credit Agreement, and our indentures, and have met all debt payment obligations.

For a complete discussion and presentation of all borrowings and available sources of borrowing, refer to Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report and Note 9.

Common stock dividends

On June 29, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.76 per share of Class A Common Stock, $0.69 per share of Class B Convertible Common Stock, and $0.69 per share of Class 1 Common Stock payable on August 24, 2021, to stockholders of record of each class on August 10, 2021.

We currently expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock in the future, but such payments are subject to approval of our Board of Directors and are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Annual Report.

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors have authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock under the 2018 Authorization and an additional repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock under the 2021 Authorization. Shares repurchased under the 2018 Authorization have become treasury shares. No shares have been repurchased under the 2021 Authorization.

As of June 30, 2021, total shares repurchased under the 2018 Authorization and 2021 Authorization are as follows:


			Class A Common Shares
	Repurchase Authorization		Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased		Number of Shares Repurchased
(in millions, except share data)

2018 Authorization	$	3,000.0	$	1,568.7	7,121,445
2021 Authorization	$	2,000.0	$	—	—

On June 30, 2021, we entered into an ASR to repurchase $500.0 million of our Class A common stock. The dollar value for the shares repurchased in the ASR transaction will be paid primarily with cash on hand and will be completed under the 2018 Authorization.

Share repurchases under the 2018 Authorization and 2021 Authorization may be accomplished at management’s discretion from time to time based on market conditions, our cash and debt position, and other factors as determined by management. Shares may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions. We may fund future share repurchases with cash generated from operations and/or proceeds from borrowings. Any repurchased shares become treasury shares.

We currently expect to continue to repurchase shares in the future, but such repurchases are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Annual Report.

For additional information, refer to Note 17 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report and Note 11.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a result of our global operating, investment, acquisition, divestiture, and financing activities, we are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates, and equity prices. To manage the volatility relating to these risks, we periodically purchase and/or sell derivative instruments including foreign currency forward and option contracts, commodity swap contracts, interest rate swap contracts, and treasury lock contracts. We use derivative instruments to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates, as well as to hedge economic exposures. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign currency and commodity price risk

Foreign currency derivative instruments are or may be used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, forecasted foreign currency denominated sales/purchases to/from third parties as well as intercompany sales/purchases, intercompany principal and interest payments, and in connection with investments, acquisitions, or divestitures outside the U.S. As of May 31, 2021, we had exposures to foreign currency risk primarily related to the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and euro. Approximately 100% of our balance sheet exposures and 77% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2022 were hedged as of May 31, 2021.

Commodity derivative instruments are or may be used to hedge forecasted commodity purchases from third parties as either economic hedges or accounting hedges. As of May 31, 2021, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging include aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. Approximately 65% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining nine months of fiscal 2022 were hedged as of May 31, 2021.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of foreign exchange rates and commodity prices reflecting the impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the applicable market. The volatility of the applicable rates and prices is dependent on many factors which cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy. Gains or losses from the revaluation or settlement of the related underlying positions would substantially offset such gains or losses on the derivative instruments. The aggregate notional value, estimated fair value, and sensitivity analysis for our open foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are summarized as follows:


	Aggregate Notional Value				Fair Value, Net Asset (Liability)				Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value – Hypothetical 10% Adverse Change
	May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020		May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020		May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020
(in millions)
Foreign currency contracts	$	1,891.8	$	1,991.4	$	86.8	$	(102.0)	$	(121.3)	$	144.9
Commodity derivative contracts	$	212.2	$	268.3	$	38.0	$	(56.2)	$	(26.0)	$	19.8

Interest rate risk

The estimated fair value of our fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign currency risk. In addition, we also have variable interest rate debt outstanding (primarily LIBOR-based), certain of which includes a fixed margin subject to the same risks identified for our fixed interest rate debt.

There were no cash flow designated interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of May 31, 2021. As of May 31, 2020, we had $375.0 million of outstanding cash flow designated interest rate swap agreements which fixed LIBOR interest rates (to minimize interest rate volatility) on our floating LIBOR rate debt. As of May 31, 2021, and May 31, 2020, there were no undesignated interest rate swap contracts outstanding.

We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of interest rates reflecting the impact of a hypothetical 1% increase in the prevailing interest rates. The volatility of the applicable


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2022 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 43


OTHER KEY INFORMATION			Table of Contents

rates is dependent on many factors which cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy. The aggregate notional value, estimated fair value, and sensitivity analysis for our outstanding fixed-rate debt, including current maturities and open interest rate derivative instruments, are summarized as follows:


	Aggregate Notional Value				Fair Value, Net Asset (Liability)				Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value – Hypothetical 1% Rate Increase
	May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020		May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020		May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020
(in millions)
Fixed interest rate debt	$	10,070.6	$	10,572.0	$	(11,027.7)	$	(11,445.0)	$	(772.4)	$	(841.2)

Interest rate swap contracts	$	—	$	375.0	$	—	$	(0.6)	$	—	$	—

A 1% hypothetical change in the prevailing interest rates would have increased interest expense on our variable interest rate debt by $1.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021, and May 31, 2020, respectively.

Equity price risk

The estimated fair value of our investment in the Canopy warrants and the Canopy convertible debt securities are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and foreign currency risk. This investment is recognized at fair value utilizing various option-pricing models and have the potential to fluctuate from, among other items, changes in the quoted market price of the underlying equity security. We manage our equity price risk exposure by closely monitoring the financial condition, performance, and outlook of Canopy.

As of May 31, 2021, the fair value of our investment in the Canopy warrants and the Canopy convertible debt securities was $1,073.6 million, with an unrealized net gain (loss) on this investment of $(745.1) million recognized in our results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2021. We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of the equity price reflecting the impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the quoted market price of the underlying equity security. As of May 31, 2021, such a hypothetical 10% adverse change would have resulted in a decrease in fair value of $197.5 million.

For additional discussion on our market risk, refer to Notes 4 and 5.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal control over financial reporting

Although most of our corporate and non-production workforce are working remotely due to COVID-19, we have not experienced a material impact to our internal control over financial reporting. We continue to monitor the pandemic and its effects on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls.

We are in the process of implementing a new global ERP across our business units using a phased approach. On March 1, 2021, business units in the U.S., New Zealand, and Italy implemented the new ERP substantially completing the phased implementation. As a result of this implementation, certain internal controls


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q1 FY 2022 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 44


OTHER KEY INFORMATION			Table of Contents

over financial reporting have been automated, modified, or implemented to address the new control environment associated with this ERP. While we believe this new system will strengthen our internal controls, there are inherent risks in implementing any new system, and we will continue to evaluate these control changes as part of our assessment of internal control over financial reporting throughout Fiscal 2022.

In connection with the foregoing evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, no other changes were identified in the Company’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
