 Item 1. Business

 Introduction

 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 Modelo Especial, Corona Extra, Pacifico, Robert Mondavi Winery, Kim Crawford, The Prisoner Wine Company, High West, Casa Noble, and Mi CAMPO. In the U.S., we are one of the top growth contributors at retail among beverage alcohol suppliers. We are also the second-largest beer company and have the #1 beer brand, Modelo Especial, in dollar sales in the U.S. We continued to strengthen our leadership position in the U.S. beer market as the #1 share gainer in the high-end beer segment and the overall U.S. beer market. Within wine and spirits, we have implemented a multi-year strategy to reposition this business to a portfolio of exclusively higher-end brands that we believe will generate higher growth and higher margins, aligned to our focus on consumer-led premiumization trends, and we continue to progressively expand our supply channels through DTC and international markets. The strength of our brands makes us a supplier of choice to many of our consumers and our customers, which 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 mission is to build brands that people love because we believe elevating human connections is Worth Reaching For. It is worth our dedication, hard work, and calculated risks to anticipate market trends and deliver more for our consumers, stockholders, employees, and industry. This dedication is what has driven us to become one of the fastest-growing, large CPG companies in the U.S. at retail.

 Headquartered in Rochester, New York, we are a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1972, as the successor to a business founded in 1945.

 Strategy

 Our overall strategic vision is to consistently deliver industry-leading total stockholder returns over the long-term through a focus on these key pillars:

 • continue building strong brands people love with advantaged routes to market;
 • build a culture that is consumer-obsessed and leverages robust innovation capabilities to stay on the forefront of consumer trends;
 • deploy capital in line with disciplined and balanced priorities;
 • deliver on impactful ESG initiatives that we believe are not only good business, but also good for the world; and
 • empower the whole enterprise to achieve best-in-class operational efficiency.

 We will continue to strive for success by ensuring consumer-led decision making drives all aspects of our business; building a strong talent pipeline with best-in-class people development; investing in infrastructure that supports and enables our business, including data systems and architecture; and exemplifying intentional and proactive fiscal management. We place focus on positioning our portfolio on higher-margin, higher-growth categories of the beverage alcohol industry to align with our strategy to address consumer-led premiumization, product, and purchasing trends, which we anticipate will continue to drive faster relative growth rates across beer, wine, and spirits. To continue capitalizing on consumer-led premiumization trends, become more competitive, and grow our business, we have employed a strategy dedicated to organic growth and supplemented by targeted investments and acquisitions. We intend for our multi-year Digital Business Acceleration initiative to enable us to drive results by enhancing our technology capabilities in key areas. In Fiscal 2025, we focused on end-to-end digital supply chain planning, logistics, procurement, and revenue growth management. In Fiscal 2026, we plan to expand this initiative to include consumer insights and analytics. We believe our continued focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet provides a solid financial foundation to support our broader strategic initiatives. As a result of this strategy, we have realized impacts on each segment of our business.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 1

 In our beer business, we focus on upholding our leadership position in the U.S. beer market, including the high-end segment, and continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins, enhancements to our results of operations and operating cash flow, and exploring new avenues for growth. In Fiscal 2026, we intend to increase distribution for key brands, optimize growth through differentiated brand positioning, price pack architecture, and market prioritization, as well as continue to invest in the next phase of modular capacity additions necessary to support our ongoing growth. We remain focused on consumer-led innovation by creating new line extensions behind celebrated, trusted brands and package formats, as well as new to world brands, that are intended to meet emerging needs.

 In our wine and spirits business, we continue to focus on delivering growth and improving margins beyond Fiscal 2026 by driving our higher-end brands and operating efficiencies. We have reshaped our portfolio through a series of strategic acquisitions and divestitures to drive our enhanced (and following the anticipated completion of the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, exclusive) focus on higher-end wine and spirits brands that we believe will generate higher growth and higher margins, aligned with our strategy to address consumer-led premiumization trends and meet the evolving needs of our consumers. We remain a key supplier in U.S. 3-tier brick-and-mortar distribution. In addition, we are advancing our aim to become a global, omni-channel competitor in line with consumer preferences as we continue our efforts to progressively expand into DTC channels (including hospitality), 3-tier eCommerce, and international markets.

 For further information on our strategy, including factors that could impact our future results of operations and/or financial condition, see "Overview" within MD&A.

 Beer segment
 We are the #1 brewer and seller of imported beer in the U.S. market. We are also the leader in the high-end segment of the U.S. beer market, which includes the imported and ABA categories. We have the exclusive right to import, market, and sell our Mexican beer brands in all 50 states of the U.S., which include the following:

 Modelo Brand Family
 Corona Brand Family
 Pacifico

 Modelo Especial
 Modelo Oro

 Corona Extra
 Corona Non-Alcoholic
 Pacifico
 Victoria

 Modelo Chelada
 Modelo Spiked Aguas Frescas

 Corona Sunbrew

 Notable achievements in the U.S. include the following: (i) we had 5 of the top 15 share gaining brands across the total beer category, (ii) Modelo Especial was the best-selling beer overall, (iii) Corona Extra was the second largest imported beer and fifth best-selling beer overall, and (iv) Pacifico and Victoria were the top two fastest growing major imported beer brands.

 During Fiscal 2025, we spent nearly $940 million on (i) planned expansions and execution of optimization initiatives and (ii) ongoing construction of the Veracruz Brewery. Expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue at our breweries in Mexico to support expected future business needs. We expect to spend approximately $2 billion over Fiscal 2026 through Fiscal 2028 largely on such activities. We believe these investments allow us the opportunity to further expand our leadership position in the high-end segment of the

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 3

 U.S. beer market. For further information about our Mexico Beer Projects, refer to (i) "Production" below, (ii) MD&A, and (iii) Note 5.

 We are also building on the success of our leading import brand families through our innovation strategy. For example, our Modelo Chelada brands have become an important contributor to our portfolio as the leading chelada in the U.S. beer market. In Fiscal 2025, we continued to build on our successful innovation platform with the launch of new products aligned with our focus on consumer-led premiumization, betterment, and flavor trends, including: (i) two additional pack sizes of Modelo Oro, a light and lower-calorie Mexican beer, to build on its launch in Fiscal 2024, (ii) Modelo Chelada Fresa Picante, a strawberry and chile pepper michelada-style beer, (iii) Modelo Chelada Negra con Chile, our first Modelo Negra chelada flavor launched in select markets, and (iv) Corona Sunbrew, a beer brewed with real citrus peels and a splash of real citrus juice, also launched in select markets. In Fiscal 2026, we launched Corona Sunbrew nationwide.

 Wine and Spirits segment
 We are a higher-end wine and spirits company in the U.S. market, with a portfolio that we believe will generate higher growth and higher margins. Our wine portfolio is supported by grapes purchased from independent growers, primarily in the U.S. and New Zealand, and vineyard holdings in the U.S., New Zealand, and Italy. Our wine and spirits are primarily marketed in the U.S. and also sold in Australia, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, and other major world markets.

 In the U.S., we had 6 of the 100 top-selling higher-end wine brands, with Kim Crawford achieving the 10th spot (1). Some of our well-known wine and spirits brands and portfolio of brands include:

 (1)Excludes brands that are part of the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, including Meiomi and SIMI, which each ranked in the 100 top-selling higher-end wine brands in the U.S.

 In Fiscal 2025, the broader wine category continued to experience deceleration in both the U.S. wholesale and international markets, particularly in the lower price point segments of the category. As a result, we have been actively working to address these continued headwinds. The U.S. wholesale decline was partially offset by muted net sales growth in our international markets and DTC channel, which represented 16% of total Wine and Spirits net sales in Fiscal 2025. We continue to believe that beyond Fiscal 2026 our wine and spirits business will return to net sales growth supported by our continued efforts to better align our portfolio with our focus on broader consumer-led premiumization trends, expand our omni-channel capabilities, and extend into select international markets. In April 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to fully divest and, in certain instances, exclusively license the trademarks of a portion of our wine and spirits business, primarily centered around our remaining mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities. For further information about this transaction, refer to "Recent Development" in MD&A and Note 2.

 Corporate Operations and Other segment
 The Corporate Operations and Other segment includes traditional corporate-related items including costs of corporate communications, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy and growth, executive management, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public affairs, as well as our Canopy investment and investments made through our corporate venture capital function.

 For further information regarding net sales and operating income (loss) of our business segments and geographic areas, refer to (i) MD&A and (ii) Note 22.

 Marketing and distribution

 To focus on their respective product categories, build brand equity, and increase sales, we employ full-time, in-house marketing, sales, and customer service functions for our (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits segments. These functions engage in a range of marketing activities and strategies, including market research, consumer and trade advertising, price promotions, point-of-sale materials, event sponsorship, on-premise activations, and public relations.

 When we advertise our products to consumers, we use a combination of methods to forecast the number of advertising impressions made on individuals at or above the legal drinking age. Through our media placement agencies, we leverage recognized audience measurement services such as Nielsen and ComScore to measure audience composition data on a regular and frequent basis. This data helps us to ensure that our advertising placements are purchased in media outlets and audience buying platforms (i.e., programmatic digital buys) that are primarily targeted toward legal drinking age consumers and, when appropriate, specifically targeted to audiences that are age-verified as of the legal drinking age. Our Global Code of Responsible Practices for Beverage Alcohol Advertising and Marketing provides the fundamental framework for responsible brand advertising and marketing that helps ensure our messages are directed at legal drinking age consumers.

 We are a corporate member of Responsibility.org, a national not-for-profit that aims to empower adults to make a lifetime of responsible alcohol choices. As part of our efforts to promote responsible beverage alcohol consumption, our brand websites redirect a visitor who self-identifies as being under the legal drinking age to Responsibility.org for information on prevention of underage drinking, ending drunk driving, and drinking responsibly.

 In the U.S., our products are primarily distributed by wholesale distributors, and we generally use separate distribution networks for (i) our beer portfolio and (ii) our wine and spirits portfolio. In addition, in states where the government acts as the distributor, we distribute our products through state alcohol beverage control agencies, which set the retail prices of our products. As is the case with all other beverage alcohol companies, products sold through these agencies are subject to obtaining and maintaining listings to sell our products in that agency's state. State governments can also affect prices paid by consumers for our products through the imposition of taxes.

 Trademarks and distribution agreements

 Trademarks are an important aspect of our business. We sell products under a number of trademarks, which we own or use under license. We also have various licenses and distribution agreements for the sale, or the production and sale, of our products and products of others. These licenses and distribution agreements have varying terms and durations.

 Within the Beer segment, we have an exclusive sub-license to use trademarks related to our Mexican beer brands in the U.S. This sub-license agreement is perpetual.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 5

 Competition

 The beverage alcohol industry is highly competitive. We compete on the basis of quality, price, brand recognition and reputation, and distribution strength. Our beverage alcohol products compete with other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for consumer purchases, as well as shelf space in retail stores, restaurant presence, and wholesaler attention. We compete with numerous multinational producers and distributors of beverage alcohol products, some of which have greater resources than we do. Our principal competitors include:

 Beer
 Anheuser-Busch InBev, The Boston Beer Company, Heineken, Mark Anthony, Molson Coors

 Wine
 Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, Duckhorn Portfolio, GALLO, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, Treasury Wine Estates, Trinchero Family Estates, The Wine Group

 Spirits
 Bacardi USA, Brown-Forman, Diageo, Fifth Generation, GALLO, Pernod Ricard, Sazerac Company, Suntory Global Spirits

 Production

 As of February 28, 2025, our production capacity at our Mexican breweries was approximately 48 million hectoliters. By the end of Fiscal 2028, we expect to increase our capacity in Mexico to approximately 55 million hectoliters to support the growth of our high-end beer brands through continued expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities at our Mexican breweries. For further information on these expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities, refer to (i) MD&A and (ii) Note 5.

 In the U.S., we currently operate 12 wineries using many varieties of grapes grown principally in the Napa, Sonoma, Monterey, and San Joaquin regions of California as well as the Willamette Valley region of Oregon. Following the anticipated completion of the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, we expect to operate nine U.S. wineries. We also operate two wineries in New Zealand and five wineries in Italy. Grapes are normally harvested and crushed in August through November in the U.S. and Italy, and in February through May in New Zealand and stored as wine until packaged for sale under our brand names or sold in bulk. The inventories of wine are usually at their highest levels during and after the crush of each year's grape harvest and are reduced as sold throughout the year. We currently operate four distilleries in the U.S. for the production of our spirits. Certain of our wines and spirits must be aged for multiple years. Therefore, our inventories of wines and spirits may be larger in relation to sales and total assets than in many other businesses.

 Resources and availability of production materials

 The principal components in the production of our Mexican beer brands include water; agricultural products, such as yeast and grains; and packaging materials, which include glass, aluminum, and cardboard.

 For our Mexican beer brands, packaging materials are the largest cost component of production, with glass bottles representing the largest cost component of our packaging materials. We aim to reduce operational waste and enhance our use of returnable, recyclable, or renewable packaging.

 For Fiscal 2025, the package format mix of our Mexican beer volume sold in the U.S. was as follows:

 As part of our long-term beer glass sourcing strategy, we are a partner in an equally-owned joint venture with Owens-Illinois, one of the leading manufacturers of glass containers in the world. The joint venture owns a state-of-the-art Glass Plant adjacent to our Nava Brewery in Mexico. The Glass Plant supplies nearly 60% of the total annual glass bottle supply for our Mexican beer brands. We also have long-term glass supply agreements with other glass producers.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 6

 The current Mexican breweries each receive water originating from separate and distinct aquifers. We believe we have adequate access to water to support these breweries' ongoing requirements, as well as future requirements after the completion of planned expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities at our breweries. These breweries employ comprehensive water management practices that focus on water efficiency and wastewater treatment operations to reuse water consumed as part of the production process.

 The principal components in the production of our wine and spirits products are agricultural products, such as grapes and grain, and packaging materials, primarily glass.

 Most of our annual grape requirements are satisfied by grower purchases from each year's harvest. During Fiscal 2025, we received grapes from approximately 350 independent growers located in the U.S. and 35 independent growers located in New Zealand and Italy. We enter into purchase agreements with a majority of these growers with pricing that generally varies year-to-year and is largely based on then-current market prices.

 As of February 28, 2025, we owned or leased approximately 18,000 acres of land and vineyards, either fully bearing or under development, in the U.S., New Zealand, and Italy. This acreage supplied only a small percentage of our overall total grape needs for wine production. However, most of this acreage was used to supply a large portion of the grapes used for the production of certain of our higher-end wines. Following the anticipated completion of the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, we expect to own or lease approximately 11,400 acres of land and vineyards.

 All of our owned and leased vineyards in California routinely adhere to documented water management plans as required by Sustainable Grape Growing Certifications including the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and Fish Friendly Farming. We use the guidance of these plans to identify the designated beneficial use of the water body based on grape growing goals set before the growing season that account for soil types, slopes, irrigation water availability and quality, and energy efficiency.

 We believe that we have adequate sources of grape supplies to meet our sales expectations. However, when demand for certain wine products exceeds expectations, we look to source the extra requirements from the bulk wine markets around the world.

 The distilled spirits manufactured and imported by us require various agricultural products, neutral grain spirits, and bulk spirits, which we fulfill through purchases from various sources by contractual arrangement and through purchases on the open market. We believe that adequate supplies of the aforementioned products are available at the present time.

 We utilize glass and polyethylene terephthalate bottles and other materials such as caps, corks, capsules, labels, and cardboard cartons in the bottling and packaging of our wine and spirits products. After grape purchases, glass bottles are the largest component of our cost of product sold, comprising more than 95% of our package format mix of our wine and spirits portfolio volume sold for Fiscal 2025. In the U.S., the glass bottle industry is highly concentrated with only a small number of producers. We have traditionally obtained, and continue to obtain, our glass requirements from a limited number of producers under long-term supply arrangements. Currently, one producer supplies most of our glass container requirements for our U.S. operations. We have been able to satisfy our requirements with respect to the foregoing and consider our sources of supply to be adequate at this time.

 To enhance our use of sustainable packaging, we have activated multiple projects designed to optimize material consumption, decrease packaging weights, and enable reductions in consumer waste.

 Government regulations

 We are subject to a range of laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. Where we produce products, we are subject to environmental laws and regulations, and may be required to obtain environmental and alcohol beverage permits and licenses to operate our facilities. Where we market and sell products, we may be subject to laws and regulations on brand registration, packaging, labeling, and recycling,

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 7

 distribution methods and relationships, pricing and price changes, sales promotions, advertising, and public relations. The countries in which we operate impose duties, excise taxes, and other taxes on beverage alcohol products, and on certain raw materials used to produce our beverage alcohol products, in varying amounts. We are also subject to rules and regulations relating to changes in officers or directors, ownership, or control.

 We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable governmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. We also believe that the cost of administration and compliance with, and liability under, such laws and regulations does not have, and is not expected to have, a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows.

 Seasonality

 The beverage alcohol industry is subject to seasonality in each major category. As a result, in response to wholesaler and retailer demand which precedes consumer purchases, our beer sales have historically been highest during the first and second quarters of our fiscal year, which correspond to the Spring and Summer periods in the U.S. Our wine and spirits sales have generally been highest during the third quarter of our fiscal year, primarily due to seasonal holiday buying.

 Environmental sustainability and CSR

 We believe our environmental sustainability and CSR strategies and aspirations enable us to better create and protect value for our business in support of our longer-term business strategy, reflect our Company values, and help address needs that are important to our stockholders, communities, consumers, and employees. We focus on: (i) serving as good stewards of our environment, (ii) investing in our communities, and (iii) promoting responsible beverage alcohol consumption.

 As part of our brewery expansion efforts and commitment to making a positive impact on the communities where we operate, we plan to continue working with local authorities and community-based organizations on sustainability initiatives that benefit local residents. Critical local projects are identified through community collaboration and input and guidance from third-party water restoration organizations. This is in addition to other benefits we provide, including local job creation and fueling economic development.

 Human capital resources

 As of February 28, 2025, we had approximately 10,600 employees, including approximately 1,300 employees through our equally-owned joint venture with Owens-Illinois. The number of employees will change throughout the year, such as when we employ additional workers during the grape crushing seasons, and due to anticipated reductions in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction and the 2025 Restructuring Initiative within Fiscal 2026.

 Employee geographic data is as follows:

 Approximately 20% of the employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Collective bargaining agreements expiring within one year are minimal. We consider our employee relations generally to be good.

 Workforce inclusive culture
 To achieve our mission of building brands that people love, we believe it is essential to cultivate a workforce that reflects the consumers and communities we serve. We also believe that building an inclusive culture where all employees can come together and develop strong relationships rooted in mutual understanding, respect, and trust is important to developing a high-performing team, winning with an evolving consumer base, and achieving our strategic ambitions.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 8

 Compensation and benefits
 We strive to provide pay, benefits, and services that meet the needs of our employees. The main components of compensation are: (i) base pay, (ii) long-term incentives dependent on a number of factors such as geographic location, market prevalence, and level which can include restricted stock units, stock options, and performance share units, (iii) short-term incentives, and (iv) recognition awards. Base and incentive compensation is reviewed on an annual basis, seeking to ensure it is competitive in the market and giving employees opportunities to earn more for exceeding expectations. Our total rewards program also offers valuable benefits, tools, and resources designed to help employees stay healthy and well, while achieving security, growth, satisfaction, and success.

 Professional development
 Building strong talent pipelines, delivering best-in-class people development, and championing professional advancement are key components of our human capital strategy which is designed to position our business for long-term growth. We are committed to offering programs, resources, and experiences that empower employees to grow their careers. The University of Constellation Brands, our learning and development center, allows employees to find opportunities to grow, develop, gain new skills and insights, explore, and expand interests through regularly updated curricula. In Fiscal 2025, we (i) spent over $17 million in development and training costs, including the delivery of six executive, leadership, and other development programs as well as leadership coaching workshops for nearly 350 of our people leaders and (ii) produced approximately 400 matched relationships under our formal career development mentoring program.

 Succession planning
 We have a comprehensive succession planning process, led by our human resources team and overseen by the Human Resources Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition to the Human Resources Committee's enhanced focus on executive, senior leader, and high-potential employee succession, our full Board of Directors is also involved in Chief Executive Officer succession planning as well as succession and people development for the broader employee population. As part of the succession planning process, we review and discuss potential successors to key roles and examine backgrounds, capabilities, and appropriate developmental opportunities.

 Employee engagement
 We assess employee engagement through global engagement and targeted pulse surveys, which provide feedback on a variety of topics, such as belonging, teamwork, recognition, enablement, and well-being. During Fiscal 2025, we conducted a company-wide global culture and engagement survey where we had a response rate of 83% and a favorable engagement measurement of 86% across our surveyed population.

 Safety
 We are committed to ensuring the safety of our employees. Our global EHS policy describes our dedication to providing a safe and healthy working environment and developing and maintaining a culture where all employees take responsibility for their own safety as well as the safety of others while minimizing our impact on the environment in the communities where we live and work. With a focus on continuous improvement, we are developing more robust EHS management systems, strengthening employee awareness and training, and ensuring senior leadership engagement on safety. Work-related injuries resulting from the production of our beer, wine, and spirits products are well below industry average. Our recordable incident rate as compared to the industry average is as follows:

 The recordable incident rate is defined as total number of worldwide CBI work-related injuries (cases beyond first aid) per 100 full-time employees. The industry average is calculated by taking the weighted average of the most recent (2022) U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data for wineries, breweries, and distilleries based on our portfolio mix in February 2025, February 2024, and February 2023 for the years ended February 28, 2025, February 29, 2024, and February 28, 2023, respectively.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 9

 Empowering our employees to give back
 Giving back to our communities is a value instilled by our founder, Marvin Sands, and remains core to our Company's DNA. We empower our employees to engage in the communities where they live and work in a variety of ways, including volunteering time and through a charitable matching program available to all U.S. employees.

 We match donations ranging from a maximum of $5,000 to $50,000 per year, depending on employee level, to charitable organizations.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors

 In addition to information discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, you should carefully consider the following factors, as well as additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, which could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations in future periods. These factors, some of which have occurred and/or are occurring, and any of which could occur in the future, are not the only ones we face. The following factors are organized under relevant headings; however, they may be relevant to other headings as well.

 Strategic Risks
 Potential declines in the consumption of products we sell; dependence on sales of our Mexican beer brands
 Our business depends upon consumers' consumption of our beer, wine, and spirits brands, and sales of our Mexican beer brands in the U.S. represent the vast majority of our business. Consumer preferences, behaviors, perception, and sentiment may shift due to a variety of factors, including changes in taste preferences and leisure, dining, and beverage purchasing and consumption patterns, U.S. demographic trends, trends involving environmental sustainability and CSR matters, changing market dynamics, including consumer-led premiumization, moderation, and betterment trends, pricing, perceived value, branding, marketing, and reputational considerations, geopolitical tensions, and other negative trends impacting our products, business, and the beverage alcohol industry. Further, a limited or general decline in consumption in one or more of our product categories has occurred before and could occur again in the future due to a variety of factors, including:

 • reduced consumer discretionary income, subdued overall consumer spending, and value-seeking behavior among consumers as well as elevated unemployment;
 • new or increased tariffs, import and excise duties, or other taxes on or impacting beverage alcohol products, including raw and packaging materials;
 • uncertainty, instability, or a general decline in economic or geopolitical conditions;
 • impacts from inflation, including reduced consumer spending and increased costs, such as for commodities;
 • consumer spending shifts, including to other consumer discretionary sectors, such as online gambling;
 • concern about the health consequences of consuming beverage alcohol products, including moderation and betterment trends and the impacts of alcohol-related health warning recommendations, such as cancer risk warnings, and about drinking and driving or other safety considerations;
 • reduced consumption of beverage alcohol products, including as a result of stricter laws, such as those relating to consumption or driving while under the influence of alcohol, or resulting from consumer dietary preference changes, weight loss regimens and pharmaceuticals, including GLP-1 drugs, or consumers substituting legalized cannabis or hemp-derived or other similar products in lieu of beverage alcohol;
 • increased activity from governmental entities, anti-alcohol groups, or other bodies, such as the World Health Organization and the former U.S. Surgeon General, advocating measures or guidelines designed to reduce or eliminate the consumption of beverage alcohol products or require more stringent labeling or warning requirements;
 • possible restrictions on beverage alcohol advertising and marketing;
 • increased regulation restricting the purchase or consumption of beverage alcohol products;
 • changes in immigration laws, regulations, policies, and enforcement impacting consumers, particularly Hispanic consumers;
 • the inability of our wine and spirits business to become a global, omni-channel competitor as well as ongoing wine category headwinds and continued inventory destocking by retailers; or
 • wars or military conflicts, disease outbreaks or pandemics, quarantines, weather, and natural or man-made disasters, including wildfires, droughts, floods, extreme heat, and/or late frosts.

 If these or any other factors cause or continue to cause a decline in the growth rate, amount, or profitability of sales of our Mexican beer brands in the U.S. or any material shift in consumer preferences, behaviors, perception, and sentiment in our major markets away from our beer, wine, and spirits brands, and our Mexican beer brands in particular, or from the categories in which they compete, or if our financial or operational

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 13

 forecasts turn out to be inaccurate, it could adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Acquisition, divestiture, investment, and NPD strategies and activities
 From time to time, we acquire businesses, assets, or securities of companies that we believe will provide a strategic fit with our business. We integrate acquired businesses with our existing operations; our overall internal control over financial reporting processes; and our financial, operations, and information systems. If the financial performance of our business, as supplemented by the assets and businesses acquired, does not meet our expectations, it may make it more difficult for us to service our debt obligations and our results of operations may fail to meet market expectations or otherwise be adversely affected. We may not effectively assimilate the business or product offerings of acquired companies into our business or within the anticipated costs or timeframes, retain key customers and suppliers or key employees of acquired businesses, or successfully implement our business plan for the combined business. In addition, our final determinations and appraisals of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisitions may vary materially from earlier estimates and we may fail to fully realize anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities, or other potential synergies. The fair value of acquired businesses or investments may not remain constant.

 We also divest businesses, assets, or securities of companies from time to time, including those that we believe no longer provide a strategic fit with our business, such as the pending 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction. We have provided and in the future may provide various indemnifications in connection with divestitures of businesses or assets. Divestitures of portions of our business have also resulted and may continue to result in costs stranded in our remaining business. Delays in developing or implementing plans to address such costs could delay or prevent the accomplishment of our financial objectives, and we may be unsuccessful in partially or fully mitigating such costs. The failure to complete any planned divestitures may also result in negative business and financial results. The amount of contingent consideration, if any, received in divestitures may also vary based on various factors, including actual future brand performance.

 We have acquired or retained ownership interests in companies which we do not control, such as our joint venture to operate the Glass Plant, our interest in Canopy, and investments made through our corporate venture capital function; and we have acquired control of companies which we did not wholly own. We have also acquired full ownership of companies that we partially owned, such as our acquisitions of the remaining ownership interests in Austin Cocktails, My Favorite Neighbor, and Nelson's Green Brier. These types of transactions could occur again in the future. Our joint venture partners or the other parties that hold or may hold the remaining ownership interests in companies which we do not control may at any time have economic, business, or legal interests or goals that are inconsistent with our goals or the goals of the joint ventures or those companies. Our joint venture arrangements and the arrangements through which we acquired or hold our other equity or membership interests often require us to, among other matters, pay certain costs, make capital investments, fulfill alone our joint venture partners' obligations, or purchase other parties' interests. The entities in which we have an interest have been and may continue to be subject to litigation which may have an adverse impact on their ability to do business or under which they may incur costs and expenses which could have a material adverse impact on their operations or financial condition which, in turn, could negatively impact the value of our investment.

 In addition, our continued success depends, in part, on our ability to develop new products. The launch and ongoing success of new products are inherently uncertain, especially with respect to consumer appeal and our ability to deliver optimized marketing in an evolving and dynamic media landscape, including through existing and emerging digital technologies, such as AI and data analytics. A new product launch can give rise to a variety of costs. An unsuccessful launch can, among other things, affect consumer perception of existing brands and our reputation. Unsuccessful implementation or short-lived popularity of our product innovations has resulted and may in the future result in inventory write-offs and other costs.

 We may not complete acquisitions, divestitures, or investments on our expected terms, conditions, and timetables, and we may not realize the expected benefits of acquisitions, divestitures, investments, or NPD. We have recognized significant impairment losses and/or write-offs in connection with acquired and divested businesses and investments, such as our recent Wine and Spirits and Canopy-related impairments, and we may do so again in the future. Furthermore, our acquisitions, investments, or joint ventures may not be profitable, our

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 14

 forecasts regarding acquisition, divestiture, or investment activities may not be accurate, or the internal control over financial reporting of entities which we must consolidate as a result of our investment activities but do not control or wholly own may not be as robust as our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to adequately manage the risks associated with acquisitions, divestitures, investments, or NPD, or the failure of an entity in which we have an equity or membership interest, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Dependence upon trademarks and proprietary rights; failure to protect our intellectual property rights
 Our future success depends significantly on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. We have been granted numerous trademark registrations and use certain trademarks under license covering our brands and products, and we have filed, and expect to continue to file or have filed on our behalf, trademark applications seeking to protect newly developed brands and products. We cannot be sure that trademark registrations will be issued with respect to any such trademark applications. We could also fail to timely renew or protect a trademark, and our competitors could challenge, invalidate, or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us. We have been and may continue to be subject to litigation related to our trademarks and intellectual property rights. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable developments and resolutions could occur. In addition, the amount of time and cost to defend ourselves could be substantial. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters or our failure to otherwise protect our intellectual property rights as well as the costs associated with such activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Damage to our reputation
 The success of our brands depends upon consumer perception, including having a positive image of those brands, and maintaining a good reputation is critical to selling our branded products. Our reputation could also be impacted negatively by public perception, adverse publicity (whether or not valid), negative comments or campaigns in social media or other public forums, or our responses relating to, among other things:

 • a perceived or actual failure to maintain high ethical standards and responsible operating practices to achieve our business goals;
 • perceptions and demands toward, and publicity surrounding or our performance related to, our environmental sustainability and CSR strategies, initiatives, targets, commitments, and aspirations, including impacts of advocacy, protests, boycotts, and similar activities, as well as associated reporting regulations, standards, frameworks, and ratings;
 • a perceived or actual failure to address concerns relating to the quality, safety, integrity, or health aspects of our products, including from accidental or deliberate contamination or tampering;
 • actions we may take to enhance or safeguard our reputation and uphold our core values, including changes to our operations, sales, advertising, marketing, and NPD;
 • allegations that we, or persons currently or formerly employed by or associated with us, have allegedly or actually violated applicable laws or regulations, including those related to safety, employment, discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing, privacy, corporate citizenship, improper business practices, or cybersecurity, or have otherwise engaged in negatively perceived activities;
 • marketing or advertising, such as in social media, that results in our products having an unintended association with or appearance near contentious content;
 • investors, activists, influencers, or other stakeholders seeking to influence our business, strategies, operations, and products;
 • geopolitical tensions and associated negative impacts on our products and business;
 • our environmental impact, including the use of agricultural materials, water, and energy, packaging, and waste management;
 • our investment in and association with a cannabis business; or
 • efforts that are perceived as insufficient to promote the responsible use of alcohol or cannabis.

 Various stakeholders have expressed widely divergent views on environmental sustainability, social, human capital, and governance-related matters, among others, and we are faced with conflicting expectations and regulations regarding such matters which has inhibited and may continue to inhibit our ability to achieve a

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 15

 consistently positive perception across our entire stakeholder base. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, maintain an effective system of internal controls, provide accurate and timely financial information, or protect our information systems against service interruptions, theft, or misappropriation of data, or breaches of security, could also hurt our reputation. Damage to our reputation or loss of consumer confidence in our products for any of these or other reasons could result in decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation, competitive position, and brand equity and renew investor confidence.

 Competition
 We operate in a highly competitive and constantly evolving industry, and our sales and profitability have been and could continue to be negatively affected by numerous factors, including:

 • our inability to maintain or increase prices or develop successful new products;
 • increases in our advertising or marketing expenditures to maintain our competitive position;
 • our inability to adopt or effectively deploy existing, new, and/or emerging technologies;
 • new or emerging entrants in our market or categories, including from the convergence of beverage categories or from the participation and expansion of large, non-alcoholic beverage companies, some of which have greater resources than we do, into the beverage alcohol space;
 • the consolidation of distributors, wholesalers, retailers, suppliers, and other beverage companies;
 • the decision of wholesalers, retailers, or consumers to purchase competitors' products instead of ours, including due to competitive pricing pressures;
 • pricing, purchasing, financing, operating, advertising, or promotional and shelf space decisions made by wholesalers, state and local agencies, and retailers as well as in DTC channels which may affect supply of or consumer demand for our products;
 • a general decline in beverage alcohol consumption or changes in consumer preferences away from our products, including due to consumer dietary preference changes, weight loss regimens, pharmaceuticals, or consumers substituting legalized cannabis or hemp-derived or other similar products in lieu of beverage alcohol; or
 • consumer spending shifts, including to other consumer discretionary sectors, such as online gambling.

 Our continued success also depends on our ability to attract and retain a high-quality and inclusive workforce in a competitive environment for talent and to implement our human capital strategy, priorities, and initiatives. We could experience higher expenses to deliver on our human capital strategy, priorities, and initiatives, such as for investment in our personnel, including due to employee turnover, wage inflation, and/or other current or emerging employment trends, particularly in the U.S., to defend ourselves in investigations or against existing or new litigation, or for other reasons. We may be unable to increase our prices to pass along any increased costs we incur to our customers.

 Operational Risks
 Economic and other uncertainties associated with our international operations, including tariffs
 We have production facilities in the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, and Italy and employees in various countries, and our products are sold in numerous countries. The countries in which we operate impose duties, excise taxes, and/or other taxes on beverage alcohol products, and/or on certain raw materials used to produce our beverage alcohol products in varying amounts. Governmental bodies may propose changes to international trade agreements, treaties, tariffs, taxes, and other government rules and regulations including but not limited to environmental treaties and regulations. Recent developments in international trade relations, including significant changes in U.S. trade policy and actions which include threatened, new, and increased tariffs on other countries and retaliatory tariffs and actions imposed on certain U.S. goods, such as the tariffs on product imports from certain countries (such as Mexico, the European Union including Italy, and New Zealand) imposed by the U.S. government in April 2025, tariffs implemented by certain other countries on U.S. goods, such as the tariffs on certain product imports originating from the U.S. imposed by the Canadian government in March 2025, and subsequent modifications and delays to the various tariffs, have produced heightened uncertainty with respect to trade and tariff policies and regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries, which could continue to alter the global trade environment.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 16

 Significant new or increased tariffs, import and excise duties, or other taxes on or impacting beverage alcohol products, including raw and packaging materials, particularly on imports from Mexico, Italy, and New Zealand, and any additional retaliatory tariffs imposed by those governments on product imports from the U.S., could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations. Meanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions and trade disputes, have resulted and may continue to result in additional sanctions, tariffs, import-export restrictions, boycotts, or trade wars. These activities, when combined with any retaliatory actions that have or may be taken by other countries, have impacted and could continue to pose a significant risk to our business as well as the global economy, such as by shifting consumer behaviors, inhibiting sales, increasing costs, causing further economic and supply chain disruptions (including impacts on prices and supply of certain commodities, such as aluminum, corn, crude oil, natural gas, and steel) and inflationary pressures, and reducing economic activity. The extent and duration of tariffs and the resulting impacts on general economic conditions; stock, credit, and capital market volatility; and our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are out of our control.

 In addition, governmental agencies extensively regulate the beverage alcohol products industry concerning such matters as licensing, warehousing, trade and pricing practices, permitted and required labeling, advertising, and relations with wholesalers and retailers. Certain regulations also require warning labels and signage. We may be subject to new or revised regulations, increased licensing fees, requirements, or taxes, regulatory enforcement actions, or longer review periods for applicable regulatory approvals. Additionally, various jurisdictions may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling or warning requirements, limitations, or guidelines on the marketing or sale of our products because of what our products contain or allegations that our products cause adverse health effects. If these types of requirements become applicable to one or more of our major products under current or future laws or regulations, they may inhibit sales of such products or increase our costs. These uncertainties and changes, as well as the decisions, policies, and economic strength of our suppliers and distributors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Supply of quality water, agricultural, and other raw materials, certain raw and packaging materials purchased under supply contracts; supply chain disruptions and other factors; limited group of certain suppliers
 The quality and quantity of water available for use is important to the supply of our agricultural raw materials and our ability to operate our business. Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world. If climate patterns change and droughts continue or become more severe or other restrictions on currently available water resources are imposed, there may be a scarcity of water or poor water quality which may affect our and our suppliers' operations, increase production costs, or impose capacity constraints. We are dependent on sufficient amounts of quality water for operation of our breweries, wineries, and distilleries, as well as to irrigate our vineyards and conduct our other operations. The suppliers of the agricultural raw materials we purchase are also dependent upon sufficient supplies of quality water for their vineyards and fields. In addition, water purification and waste treatment infrastructure limitations could increase costs or constrain operations at our production facilities and vineyards. A substantial reduction in water supplies could result in material losses of crops, such as corn, barley, hops, or grapes as well as grape vines which could lead to a shortage of our product supply.

 We have substantial brewery operations in Mexico and substantial wine operations in the U.S. (primarily in California), New Zealand, and Italy as well as brewery and distillery operations in the U.S. California has endured and may continue to experience prolonged drought conditions which have resulted in the imposition of certain restrictions on water usage and which could recur. Over the last several years, certain areas of California have also experienced wildfires and flooding. If these conditions or restrictions persist and/or increase in severity, it could have an adverse effect upon those operations. The water supplies for our current Mexican breweries and the Veracruz Brewery, which originate from separate and distinct aquifers, are subject to disruption which could impact our ability to produce our products. The sources of water, methods of water delivery, water quality, or water needs to support our ongoing requirements may change materially in the future. We may incur additional expenses for improving water delivery, quality, and efficiency as well as for securing additional water sources.

 Our breweries, the Glass Plant, our wineries, and our distilleries use a large volume of agricultural and other raw materials to produce our products. These include corn starch and sugars, malt, hops, fruits, yeast, and water for our breweries; soda ash and silica sand for the Glass Plant; grapes and water for our wineries; and grain

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 17

 and water for our distilleries. Our breweries, wineries, and distilleries all use large amounts of various packaging materials, including glass, aluminum, cardboard, and other paper products. Our production facilities also use electricity, natural gas, and diesel fuel in addition to renewable energy sources in their operations. Certain raw materials and packaging materials are purchased under contracts of varying maturities. The supply, on-time availability, and price of raw, packaging, and other materials, energy, and other commodities have been and may continue to be affected by many factors beyond our control, including economic factors, tariffs, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, market demand, global geopolitical events and military conflicts, weather events or natural or man-made disasters, including droughts, storms, and wildfires, plant diseases, and theft.

 Our breweries, wineries, and distilleries are also dependent upon an adequate supply of glass bottles. Glass bottle costs are one of our largest components of cost of product sold. The Glass Plant produces a majority of the total annual glass bottle supply for our Mexican beer brands, and we have a small number of other suppliers of glass bottles for our Mexican beer brands. At times, we have experienced glass bottle purchasing shortages. Meanwhile, we have two aluminum can suppliers that provide all of our total annual requirements for our Mexican beer brands, with one of those suppliers providing a majority of such aluminum can requirements. In the U.S., glass bottles have only a small number of producers. Currently, one producer supplies a majority of our glass container requirements for our U.S. wine and spirits operations.

 To the extent any of the foregoing factors impact our business or operations, including by increasing the costs of our products and we are unable or choose not to pass along such rising costs to consumers through increased selling prices; leading to a shortage of our product supply or inventory levels; or requiring unplanned diversions of funds, resources, and talent to address such factors, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Reliance upon complex information systems and third-party global networks; cybersecurity; AI
 We depend on IT to enable us to operate efficiently and interface with customers, suppliers, and consumers, maintain financial accuracy and efficiency, and effect accurate and timely governmental reporting, among other activities. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources to build and sustain appropriate technology infrastructure, including our global enterprise resource planning system and our planned unified finance platform implementation, we could be subject to transaction or data integrity errors, processing inefficiencies, increased costs, loss of customers, business disruptions, loss of or damage to intellectual property or proprietary information, including through a security breach, penalties associated with the failure to timely file governmental reports, and/or other difficulties. Many groups on a worldwide basis have experienced increases in electronic security breaches, cyberattacks, and other hacking activities such as phishing attacks, denial of service, malware, ransomware, and cyber extortion, and there is the possibility of retaliatory cyberattacks, including by state-sponsored organizations. As with all large IT systems, we have been a target of cyberattackers and other hacking activities and our systems could be penetrated by increasingly sophisticated external or internal threat actors (including through the use of existing and emerging technologies, such as AI) intent on extracting confidential or proprietary information, corrupting our information, disrupting our business processes, engaging in the unauthorized use of strategic information about us or our employees, customers, or consumers, or demanding monetary payment. Such unauthorized access could disrupt our operations and result in various costs and adverse consequences, including the loss of assets, decreased sales, litigation, regulatory actions, remediation costs, increased cybersecurity protection costs, damage to our reputation, harm to our employees, or the failure by us to retain or attract customers or consumers following such an event.

 We have outsourced various functions to third-party service providers and may outsource other functions in the future. We rely on such third-parties to provide services on a timely and effective basis, but we do not ultimately control their performance. In addition, our distributors, wholesalers, suppliers, joint venture partners, and other external business partners utilize their own IT systems that are subject to similar risks to us as described above. Their failure to perform as expected or as required by contract, or additional cyberattacks on them that disrupts their systems, could result in significant disruptions and costs to our operations or, in the case of third-party service providers, a penetration of our systems.

 The swift pace of technological change has led to a nonuniform and complex set of cybersecurity and data privacy laws, regulations, and standards. Meanwhile, the recent proliferation and rapid evolution of AI

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 18

 technologies, including generative AI and machine learning, has resulted in new challenges, including business, legal and regulatory, and ethical considerations and uncertainty. For example, the use of AI technologies without adequate safeguards could produce flawed or inaccurate recommendations, suggestions, or outcomes or other unintended results or potential vulnerabilities or expose us to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences. AI technologies may also intensify the risk of threat actors using such technologies to enhance their capabilities. We have implemented a governance framework that includes policies and processes to address the use of AI technologies by our employees and third-party service providers. Nevertheless, our employees and third-party service providers may not follow our governance framework, including if such providers incorporate AI technologies into their products or systems without disclosing this use to us. We expect that our continued success will depend, in part, on our and our third-party service providers' ability to continue to effectively leverage existing and emerging technologies, such as AI and data analytics, to gain relevant insights and enhance our business. These circumstances may create risks in our ability to address existing or rapidly developing regulatory or industry standards related to AI technologies and data privacy and to successfully and responsibly utilize AI technologies.

 To the extent any of the foregoing factors result in significant disruptions and costs to our operations, fail to produce the anticipated benefits, compromise confidential or sensitive information, imperil our intellectual property, result in harm to our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our IT systems and cybersecurity measures, result in litigation or regulatory actions, and/or reduce the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Dependence on limited facilities for production of our Mexican beer brands; facility expansion, optimization, and construction activities
 We are dependent on our current Mexican breweries to fulfill our Mexican beer brands' production requirements, both now as well as for the near-term. Expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue at our breweries in Mexico. These are multi-billion-dollar activities with risks of completion delays, cost overruns, and asset impairments, such as the prior impairment of certain long-lived assets at the canceled Mexicali Brewery. We may not achieve the intended financial and operational benefits of these investments, including if we develop excess capacity that outpaces demand for our Mexican beer brands.

 Expansion and optimization of current production facilities and construction of new production facilities are subject to various regulatory and developmental risks, including but not limited to: our ability to obtain timely certificate authorizations, necessary approvals and permits from regulatory agencies on terms that are acceptable to us or at all; potential changes in federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including environmental requirements, that prevent a project from proceeding or increase the anticipated cost of the project; our inability to acquire rights-of-way or land or water rights on a timely basis on terms that are acceptable to us; or our inability to acquire the necessary energy supplies, including electricity, natural gas, and diesel fuel. Any of these or other unanticipated events could halt or delay the expansion, optimization, or construction of our production facilities.

 We may not be able to satisfy our product supply requirements for our Mexican beer brands in the event of a significant disruption at or the partial or total destruction of the current Mexican breweries or the Glass Plant; difficulty shipping and/or warehousing raw materials and product into, within, and/or out of the U.S. or Mexico, including in the event of rail or other freight shipping disruptions with our major providers in each country; or a temporary inability to produce our product due to closure or lower production levels of one or more of our current Mexican breweries. A prolonged closure or restriction of the border between the U.S. and Mexico, particularly at key product and supply crossing points, could result in temporary or longer-term disruptions of sales, consumption, and trade patterns, supply chains, production processes, and/or operations. Also, if the contemplated expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities at our breweries in Mexico are abandoned or not otherwise completed by their targeted completion dates, we may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of our Mexican beer to satisfy our needs in the future. Under such circumstances, we may be unable to obtain our Mexican beer at a reasonable price from another source, if at all. A significant disruption at our current Mexican breweries, or the Glass Plant, even on a short-term basis, could impair our ability to produce and ship products to market on a timely basis. Alternative facilities with sufficient capacity or capabilities may not readily be

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 19

 available, may cost substantially more, or may take a significant time to start production, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our product supply, business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Operational disruptions or catastrophic loss to breweries, wineries, other production facilities, or distribution systems
 All of our Mexican beer products are produced at our current Mexican breweries. Many of the workers at these breweries are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Glass Plant produces a majority of the total annual glass bottle supply for our Mexican beer brands. Several of our vineyards and production and distribution facilities, including certain California and Oregon wineries, are in areas prone to seismic activity. Additionally, we have various vineyards and wineries in California and Oregon which have experienced wildfires, landslides, and/or severe winter storms.

 If any of these or other of our properties and production facilities were to experience a significant operational disruption or catastrophic loss, it could delay or disrupt production, shipments, and sales, and result in potentially significant expenses to repair or replace these properties or find suitable alternative providers. Also, our production facilities are asset intensive. As our operations are concentrated in a limited number of production and distribution facilities, we are more likely to experience a significant operational disruption or catastrophic loss in any one location from acts of war or terrorism, natural or man-made disasters, public health crises, labor strikes or other labor activities, cyberattacks and other attempts to penetrate our or our third-party service providers' IT systems or the IT used by our non-production employees who work remotely, or unavailability of raw or packaging materials. We may be impacted by increases in global energy prices or reduced supply, particularly for crude oil and natural gas, including as a result of geopolitical events and military conflicts. If a significant operational disruption or catastrophic loss were to occur, we could breach agreements, our reputation could be harmed, and our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be adversely affected by, among other items, higher maintenance charges, unexpected capital spending, or product supply constraints.

 Our insurance policies do not cover certain types of catastrophes and may not cover certain events such as pandemics. Economic conditions and uncertainties in global markets may adversely affect the cost and other terms upon which we are able to obtain insurance coverage, including for property damage and business interruption. If our insurance coverage is adversely affected, or to the extent we have elected to self-insure, there may be greater risk that we may experience an adverse impact to our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Severe weather and natural or man-made disasters; climate change; environmental sustainability and CSR-related regulatory compliance; failure to meet environmental sustainability and CSR targets, commitments, and aspirations
 Our business depends upon agricultural activity and natural and human capital resources. There has been much public discussion related to concerns that GHGs may have an adverse impact on global temperatures, weather patterns, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters. Severe weather events and natural disasters, such as our experiences with wildfires, drought, and/or flooding in California and Oregon, severe winter storms in California, Texas, or Mexico, or late frosts or flooding in New Zealand, and climate change may negatively affect agricultural productivity in the regions from which we source our various agricultural raw materials or the energy powering our production facilities. Decreased availability of our raw materials may increase our cost of product sold. Severe weather events and natural or man-made disasters or changes in their frequency or intensity can also impact product quality; disrupt our supply chains, which may affect production operations, insurance cost and coverage, and delivery of our products to wholesalers, retailers, and consumers; and negatively affect the ability of consumers to purchase our products.

 The landscape related to environmental sustainability and CSR-related regulation, compliance, and reporting is constantly evolving, including changing in scope and complexity. For example, the European Commission and the SEC have promulgated rules that would require significantly increased disclosures related to climate change, although each body has taken subsequent actions to limit or abandon their rules, such as the European Commission's adoption of a package of proposals to simplify and delay various European Union rules and the SEC's stay of the effectiveness of its rules and its withdrawal of its defense of the rules in the pending

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 20

 litigation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Meanwhile, various stakeholders, including governmental bodies, have increasingly expressed or pursued opposing views, sentiments, policies, legislation, and investment expectations with respect to environmental sustainability, social, human capital, and similar initiatives.

 We may experience significant future increases in the costs associated with environmental sustainability and CSR-related matters, including fees, licenses, personnel, consultants, reporting, and the cost of capital improvements for our operating facilities to meet environmental regulatory requirements, to address other regulations, standards, frameworks, ratings, and activities from various governmental entities and other stakeholders, in our ongoing handling of investor, activist, or influencer activities and campaigns, and/or in the event of investigations or litigation related to such matters. We have disclosed various targets in these areas, including on restoration of water withdrawals, GHG emissions, waste reduction, and circular packaging, and we may disclose new or updated targets or aspirations in these areas in the future. The achievement of such targets or aspirations along with our broader value chain engagement efforts have required and will continue to require us and in some cases third parties with which we do business, such as our suppliers, to make investments and allocate resources.

 In addition, we may be party to various environmental remediation obligations arising in the normal course of our business or relating to historical activities of businesses we acquire. Due to regulatory complexities, governmental or contractual requirements, uncertainties inherent in litigation, and the risk of unidentified contaminants at our current and former properties, the potential exists for remediation, liability, indemnification, and other costs to differ materially from the costs that we have estimated. We may also incur costs associated with environmental compliance arising from events we cannot control, such as natural or man-made disasters. We may not allot sufficient resources to attain, may not ultimately achieve, may be unable to satisfy all stakeholders regarding, and/or may be subject to government enforcement actions, fines, proceedings, or litigation related to our targets and aspirations, and our costs in relation to any of the foregoing matters may exceed our projections, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations. Even if we achieve our environmental sustainability and CSR targets, commitments, and aspirations, we may not realize all of the benefits that we expected.

 Cost savings, restructuring, and efficiency initiatives
 We are seeking to unlock cost savings through a wide range of initiatives and restructuring actions, including the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, and we may institute additional cost savings, restructuring, and efficiency measures in the future. These cost reduction and efficiency measures include, but are not limited to, enhancing our organizational efficiency and optimizing expenditures across our organization, such as future opportunities identified across supplier and sourcing optimization, innovation to reduce material and manufacturing costs, and productivity gains across logistics. We may not achieve the anticipated savings or efficiencies from our cost savings, restructuring, and efficiency initiatives. For example, actual charges, costs, and adjustments in connection with these activities may vary materially from our estimates, and events and circumstances, such as financial or strategic difficulties, delays, and unexpected developments, may occur. These activities may also cause potential disruptions to our business or divert management's time and attention from other business priorities. If we are unable to realize all or a portion of the anticipated cost savings or efficiencies, or if we do not realize such savings or efficiencies on our expected timetable, our ability to fund other initiatives and achieve our financial outlook may be adversely affected. The failure to implement our cost savings, restructuring, and efficiency initiatives in accordance with our expectations could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Reliance on wholesale distributors, major retailers, and government agencies
 Local market structures and distribution channels vary worldwide. Within our primary market in the U.S., we offer a range of beverage alcohol products with generally separate distribution networks utilized for our beer portfolio and our wine and spirits portfolio. In the U.S., we sell our products principally to wholesalers for resale to retail outlets and directly to government agencies. We have an exclusive arrangement with one wholesaler that generates a large portion of our branded U.S. wine and spirits net sales, and we have one wholesaler for our beer portfolio which, through multiple entities, represents one-quarter of our consolidated net sales. Wholesalers and retailers of our products offer directly competing products that vie for retail shelf space, promotional support, and consumer purchases, and wholesalers or retailers may give higher priority to products of our competitors.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 21

 Employees of wholesalers or retailers of our products have engaged and may in the future engage in labor strikes, other work stoppages, or other labor activities. Such activities or the replacement or poor performance of our major wholesalers, retailers, or government agencies could result in temporary or longer-term sales disruptions and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Contamination and degradation of product quality from diseases, pests, and weather and other conditions
 Contamination, whether arising accidentally or through deliberate third-party action, or other events that harm the integrity or consumer support for our brands, could adversely affect sales. Various diseases, pests, fungi, viruses, drought, frosts, wildfires, and certain other weather conditions or the effects of climate conditions, such as smoke taint sustained during the 2020 U.S. West Coast wildfires or the late frost experienced in New Zealand in calendar 2021, could affect the quality and quantity of barley, hops, grapes, and other agricultural raw materials available and decrease the supply and quality of our products. Similarly, power disruptions, such as the outage at our Nava Brewery due to severe winter weather events in calendar 2021, could adversely impact our production processes and the quality of our products. We or our suppliers of agricultural raw materials may not succeed in preventing contamination in existing or future vineyards, fields, or production facilities. Future government restrictions regarding the use of certain materials used in growing grapes or other agricultural raw materials may increase vineyard costs and/or reduce production of grapes or other crops. It is also possible that a supplier may not provide materials or product components which meet our required standards or may falsify documentation associated with the fulfillment of those requirements.

 Product contamination or tampering or the failure to maintain our standards for product quality, safety, and integrity, including with respect to raw materials, naturally occurring compounds, packaging materials, or product components obtained from suppliers, may also reduce demand for our products or cause production and delivery disruptions. Contaminants or other defects in raw materials, packaging materials, or product components purchased from third parties and used in the production of our beer, wine, or spirits products, or defects in the fermentation or distillation process could lead to low beverage quality as well as illness among, or injury to, consumers of our products and may result in reduced sales of the affected brand or all our brands.

 If any of our products become unsafe or unfit for consumption, are misbranded, or cause injury, we may have to engage in additional product recalls and/or be subject to liability and incur additional costs. Widespread or multiple product recalls or a significant product liability judgment or regulatory action could cause our products to be unavailable for a period, which could reduce consumer demand and brand equity and result in reputational harm.

 Outbreaks of communicable infections or diseases, pandemics, or other widespread public health crises impacting our consumers, employees, distributors, retailers, and/or suppliers
 Communicable disease outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and other widespread public health crises have resulted and in the future could result in disruptions and damage to our business caused by potential negative consumer purchasing behavior and reduced consumption as well as disruption to our supply chains, production processes, and operations. This includes containment actions that restrict consumer purchasing occasions, including from the inability to leave home or otherwise shop in a normal manner, cancellations of public events, venue closures, or capacity restrictions, as well as reductions in consumer discretionary income due to reduced or limited work and layoffs. Supply disruption may result from restrictions on the ability of employees and others in the supply chain to travel and work, including from quarantines, individual illnesses, or border closures imposed by governments to deter the spread of communicable infections or diseases; determinations by us or our suppliers or distributors to temporarily suspend operations in affected areas; or other actions which restrict or otherwise negatively impact our ability to produce, package, and ship our products, our distributors' ability to distribute our products, or our suppliers' ability to provide us with raw, packaging, and other materials. Channels of entry may be closed or operate at reduced capacity, or transportation of product or materials within a region or country may be limited. Our operations and the operations of our suppliers may become less efficient or otherwise be negatively impacted if our or their executive management or other key operational personnel are unable to work or if a significant percentage of our workforce is unable to work at all or at their normal production facility. A future widespread health crisis could once again negatively affect the economies and financial markets of many countries resulting in a global economic downturn which could negatively impact demand for our

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 22

 products and our ability to borrow money. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Labor activities could increase our costs
 If our employees were to engage in a labor strike, other work stoppage, or other labor activities, we could experience an operational disruption, incur higher ongoing labor costs, and/or suffer reputational harm, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Financial and Economic Risks
 Indebtedness and interest rate fluctuations
 We have incurred indebtedness to finance investments and acquisitions, refinance other indebtedness, fund beer operations expansion, optimization, and construction activities and other capital expenditures, pay cash dividends, repurchase shares of our common stock, and fund other general corporate purposes, including working capital. In the future, we may continue to incur additional indebtedness for any or all of these activities. We are exposed to risks associated with interest rate fluctuations, and while the U.S. Federal Reserve has recently been reducing the federal funds rate, we continue to experience an elevated interest rate environment relative to recent historically low interest rates. We could experience further changes in our ability to manage fluctuations in interest rates, including for our variable interest rate debt outstanding or if we need to refinance indebtedness. In addition, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet all our debt service requirements, return value to stockholders such as through payment of dividends or repurchases of shares of our common stock, achieve or maintain our target comparable net leverage ratio, and fund our general corporate and capital requirements.

 Our current and future debt service obligations and covenants could have important consequences. These consequences include, or may include, the following:

 • our ability to obtain financing for future working capital needs, investments, acquisitions, or other purposes may be limited;
 • our funds available for operations, expansions, construction, dividends or other distributions, or share repurchases may be reduced because we dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness;
 • our ability to conduct our business could be limited by restrictive covenants; and
 • our vulnerability to adverse economic conditions may be greater than less leveraged competitors and, thus, our ability to withstand competitive pressures may be limited.

 Additionally, any failure to meet required payments on our debt, or failure to comply with any covenants in the instruments governing our debt, could result in an event of default under the terms of those instruments and a downgrade to our credit ratings. A downgrade to our credit ratings would increase our borrowing costs and could affect our ability to issue commercial paper or negatively impact the terms under which we refinance our debt. Certain of our debt facilities also contain change of control provisions which, if triggered, may result in an acceleration of our obligation to repay the debt. In addition, certain of our debt and derivative financial instruments have, or in the future could have, interest rates that are tied to reference rates, such as SOFR. The volatility and availability of such reference rates, including establishment of alternative reference rates, is out of our control. Changes to or the unavailability of such rates or the manner for calculation of such reference rates could result in increases to the cost of our debt. In addition, our 2022 Credit Agreement (i) restricts repayment of the loans under the credit agreement with proceeds derived, directly or indirectly, from Canopy prior to the Specified Time, (ii) restricts the use of proceeds from the loans under our credit agreement, directly or indirectly, for any investment in, transaction with, or to fund the activities of or business with Canopy prior to the Specified Time, and (iii) provides that we will not convert any of our outstanding Exchangeable Shares for Canopy common shares or own any Canopy common shares until the Specified Time.

 If we do not comply with the obligations contained in our senior credit facility, our existing or future indentures, or other loan agreements, we could be in default under such debt facilities or agreements. In such an event, the holders of our debt could elect to declare as due and payable all amounts outstanding under those instruments. An event of default could also result in events of default under other debt facilities or agreements

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 23

 that contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions, which could permit counterparties thereunder to exercise remedies. If that occurred, we might not have available funds to satisfy our repayment obligations.

 International operations, worldwide and regional economic trends and financial market conditions, geopolitical uncertainty, or other governmental rules and regulations
 Risks associated with international operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations, include:

 • changes in political, economic, social, and labor conditions in U.S., Mexico, and international locales, including as a result of elections, potential government shutdowns, or other events;
 • potential disruption from wars and military conflicts, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and drug-related, workplace, or other types of violence;
 • restrictions on foreign ownership and investments or on repatriation of cash earned in countries outside the U.S.;
 • import and export requirements and border accessibility;
 • protectionist trade policies, sanctions, tariffs, and foreign or domestic legal and regulatory requirements, including those that could result in adverse tax consequences;
 • foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may reduce the U.S. dollar value of net sales, earnings, and cash flows from non-U.S. markets or increase our supply chain costs, as measured in U.S. dollars, in those markets;
 • a less developed and less certain legal and regulatory environment in some countries, which, among other things, can create uncertainty regarding contract enforcement, intellectual property rights, privacy obligations, real property rights, and liability issues; and
 • inadequate levels of compliance with applicable domestic and foreign anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 Unfavorable global or regional economic conditions, including trade barriers, tariffs, trade wars, economic slowdown or recession, instability in the banking sector, and the disruption, volatility, and tightening of credit and capital markets, as well as unemployment, tax increases, governmental spending cuts, or continuing high levels of inflation, could affect consumer spending patterns and purchases of our products. These could also create or exacerbate credit issues, cash flow issues, and other financial hardships for us and our suppliers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. The inability of suppliers, distributors, and retailers to access liquidity could impact our ability to produce and distribute our products.

 We could also be affected by nationalization of our international operations, unstable governments, unfamiliar or biased legal systems, intergovernmental disputes, or animus against the U.S. or Mexico, including products produced in those or other countries where we produce our products. Any determination that our operations or activities did not comply with applicable U.S. or foreign laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines and penalties, interruptions of business, terminations of necessary licenses and permits, and other legal and equitable sanctions.

 Class action or other litigation, including relating to alleged securities law violations, abuse or misuse of our products, product liability, marketing or sales practices, including product labeling, or other matters
 We have been and may continue to be subject to litigation. There has also been public attention directed at the beverage alcohol industry, which we believe is due to concerns related to harmful use of alcohol, including drinking and driving, underage drinking, and health consequences from the misuse of alcohol. In addition, we have been and could continue to be exposed to claims or lawsuits relating to product liability, marketing or sales practices, including product labeling, privacy, website accessibility, and other matters. With our international operations, we have been and may continue to be subject to risk of a wide variety of other legal claims and proceedings by external parties, employees, and stockholders.

 On February 18, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Meza v. Constellation Brands, Inc., et al., Case No. 6:25-cv-6107 (W.D.N.Y.). The complaint names as defendants the Company, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and asserts claims for alleged violations of

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 24

 Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder arising from allegedly materially false or misleading statements or omissions of purportedly material fact concerning, among other things, the Company's strategies intended to improve the performance of our Wine and Spirits business. The complaint seeks, among other relief, alleged damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys' fees, and costs.

 On March 24, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Silva v. Newlands, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-254 (W.D.N.Y.).); and on April 21, 2025, a second purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Mason v. Newlands, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00353 (W.D.N.Y.). These derivative complaints each seek to assert claims arising under the Exchange Act and state common law, derivatively on behalf of the Company, against current and former directors and officers of the Company. Neither of the plaintiffs made a pre-suit demand on our Board of Directors, instead each alleging that the pre-suit demand requirement should be excused as purportedly futile. The claims asserted in these derivative complaints arise from substantially the same allegations made in the complaint filed in Meza.

 Litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable developments and resolutions could occur. In addition, the amount of time and cost to defend ourselves could be substantial. Adverse developments in lawsuits related to such matters as well as the time and costs associated with such activities or a significant decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products or for our products specifically that may result from lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Intangible assets, such as goodwill and trademarks
 We have a significant amount of intangible assets such as goodwill and trademarks and may acquire more intangible assets in the future, and we have recognized significant impairment losses, such as our recent Wine and Spirits impairments. Intangible assets are subject to a periodic impairment evaluation under applicable accounting standards. A future significant impairment of any of our intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Changes to tax laws; fluctuations in our effective tax rate; accounting for tax positions; resolution of tax disputes; changes to accounting standards, elections, assertions, or policies; global minimum tax
 Changes to federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign tax laws, could result in increased taxes on our products, business, customers, or consumers. Various proposals to increase taxes on beverage alcohol products have been made at the federal and state levels or at other governmental bodies in recent years. Federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign governmental entities may consider increasing taxes upon beverage alcohol products as they explore available alternatives for raising funds, including to offset budget or other deficits.

 In addition, significant judgment is required to determine our effective tax rate and evaluate our tax positions. Our provision for income taxes includes a provision for uncertain tax positions. Fluctuations in federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, or a change to uncertain tax positions, including related interest and penalties, may impact our effective tax rate and our financial results. When tax matters arise, several years may elapse before such matters are audited and finally resolved. Unfavorable resolution of any tax matter could increase our effective tax rate and resolution of a tax issue may require the use of cash in the year of resolution.

 U.S. tax changes or changes in how international corporations are taxed, including changes in how existing tax laws are interpreted or enforced, or changes to accounting standards, elections, or assertions as well as our accounting policies could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations. For example, the OECD has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum tax rate of 15%, referred to as Pillar Two. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing, or have draft legislation proposed for adoption to implement, Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments because these changes, when enacted by the various jurisdictions in which we do business, may significantly increase our taxes in these jurisdictions.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 25

 Cash dividends and share repurchases are subject to a number of uncertainties and may affect the price of our common stock
 Our capital allocation strategy contemplates quarterly cash dividends and periodic share repurchases under our share repurchase program. We typically fund our cash dividends and share repurchases through a combination of cash flow from operations, borrowings, and/or divestiture proceeds. However, we are not required to declare dividends or to make any share repurchases under our share repurchase program. We may discontinue, limit, suspend, delay, or increase our dividends and share repurchases at any time without prior notice. Even if not discontinued, the amount of such dividends and repurchases may be changed, and the amount, timing, and frequency of such dividends and repurchases may vary from historical practice or from our stated expectations. Decisions with respect to dividends and share repurchases are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be based on a variety of factors. Important factors that could cause us to discontinue, limit, suspend, delay, or increase our cash dividends or share repurchases include market conditions, the price of our common stock, the nature and timing of other investment opportunities, changes in our business strategy, the terms of our financing arrangements, our outlook as to our ability to obtain financing at attractive rates, the impact on our credit ratings, changes in laws or regulations, and the availability of cash. The IRA imposes an excise tax of 1% on share repurchases, and the ongoing impact of this excise tax will be dependent on the extent of our share repurchases in future periods along with any changes to the excise tax rate and could increase our tax liability. The reduction or elimination of our cash dividend or longer suspension or elimination of our share repurchase program could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Additionally, any share repurchases may not enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock has, at times, declined and may once again decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares of common stock, and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program's effectiveness.

 Governance Risks
 Sands Family Stockholder Class A Stock ownership and Board of Directors nomination rights
 Until November 2027 and so long as the Sands Family Stockholders, collectively, have beneficial or record ownership of at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Stock, our Board of Directors will, subject to the procedures and limitations set forth in the Reclassification Agreement, nominate two individuals designated by WildStar for election to our Board of Directors at any annual meeting of our stockholders at which directors are to be elected (or otherwise in connection with any action by written consent pursuant to which a majority of the Board of Directors will be elected). So long as the Sands Family Stockholders, collectively, have beneficial or record ownership of less than 10% but at least 9,239,463.1 shares of Class A Stock, as may be adjusted by any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, or similar transaction, the Board of Directors will, subject to the procedures and limitations set forth in the Reclassification Agreement, nominate one individual designated by WildStar for election to the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of our stockholders at which directors are to be elected (or otherwise in connection with any action by written consent pursuant to which a majority of the Board of Directors will be elected).

 The amount of Class A Stock currently held by the Sands Family Stockholders, together with the foregoing Board of Directors nomination rights, provide the Sands Family Stockholders with significant continued influence over our decisions. The interests of the Sands Family Stockholders with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us and our other stockholders, such as future acquisitions, financings, and other corporate opportunities and attempts to acquire us, may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders.

 Certain Sands Family Stockholders have pledged shares of Class A Stock to secure various credit facilities. In the event of noncompliance with certain covenants under the credit facilities, the financial institutions to which such stock is pledged have certain remedies, including the right to sell the pledged shares subject to certain protections afforded to the borrowers and pledgors. The sale by such financial institutions of a substantial amount of the pledged shares could depress, or result in volatility in, the trading price of our Class A Stock.

 Choice-of-forum provision in our Amended and Restated By-laws regarding certain stockholder litigation
 Our Amended and Restated By-laws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) the Court of Chancery of Delaware (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court of Delaware) will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 26

 duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, or stockholders to us or our stockholders; any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Charter, or our Amended and Restated By-laws, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of Delaware; or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and (ii) the federal district courts of the U.S. will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

 To the fullest extent permitted by law, this choice-of-forum provision will apply to state and federal law claims, including claims under the federal securities laws (including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This choice-of-forum provision may increase costs for a stockholder pursuing any such claim, discourage claims, or limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholder finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, other stockholders, or other employees which may discourage such lawsuits even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. In addition, the courts located in Delaware may reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. If a court were to find this choice-of-forum provision inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions which could adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the choice-of-forum provision described above.

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity

 Cybersecurity risk management and strategy

 We have developed and implemented an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program designed to provide structured and thorough cybersecurity risk management and governance. Our cybersecurity program prioritizes, among other things, prevention of unauthorized access; protection of confidential, personal, or sensitive information; cyber threat detection, assessment, and response; and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity measures. We seek to achieve our cybersecurity program priorities through a multi-pronged approach to address cyber threats and incidents that includes implementation of various industry best practices, proactive monitoring of our IT systems, ongoing employee training, and regular risk assessments. We also maintain cyber insurance coverage to help mitigate a portion of the potential costs in the event of covered events.

 Our cybersecurity program is aligned with various frameworks for managing cybersecurity risks, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework for IT systems and International Electrotechnical Commission 62443 which governs cybersecurity for Industrial Control Systems. This program is integrated into our ERM processes. Our ERM function manages enterprise-wide risk and has established a governance structure in charge of continuous risk management. It has defined risk management processes related specifically to cybersecurity, which include targeted cyber risk reviews, annual cyber risk assessments over our IT and operations, and integration with our information security function. We also have a Cyber and Privacy Risk Committee, led by our CISO, which provides strategic and actionable recommendations on cybersecurity topics, issues, and controls to our executive management team, and a Crisis Management Committee, led by our head of ERM, which manages significant cybersecurity events.

 We rely upon both internal and external resources for evaluating and enhancing our cyber posture. At least annually, our information security and internal audit teams conduct extensive internal and external penetration testing, supplemented by more frequent Purple-team Tests that are designed to identify critical areas of our technical environment and potential vulnerabilities that may need to be addressed. Our information security team also retains external cybersecurity firms to review and provide feedback on improving our cybersecurity program, including in the areas of data protection, threat and vulnerability management, and end-point protection. We conduct a range of activities to assess our cybersecurity preparedness and processes and to prepare for potential cyber incidents, including tabletop exercises, simulations, and practical application drills with internal teams and external entities. We also require annual cybersecurity training by our employees, conduct regular exercises to help our employees recognize phishing attempts and other social engineering tactics, and provide various methods for employees to report suspicious activity that may give rise to a cyber incident or threat. Significant results of such testing and reviews are communicated to our executive management team and our Audit Committee, as applicable, and are utilized in our cybersecurity program's continuous improvement process.

 In response to the growing risks associated with third-party service providers, we have established review processes for assessing the technological and information security controls of our third-party suppliers to attempt to identify material cybersecurity risks associated with such providers, their IT systems, and their access to our IT systems that could significantly disrupt our operations. These processes encompass a range of measures, such as pre-engagement cybersecurity due diligence for providers who access our IT systems or information before their engagement, ongoing monitoring and evaluation of our providers, detailed examination of available System and Organization Controls attestation reports, and inclusion of relevant contractual provisions in our agreements with third-party service providers with respect to areas including cyber protections, notifications, auditing, and risk allocation.

 We maintain an IRP, which provides a set of core practices and procedures when responding to certain high-risk information security threats and incidents, and a CMP, which is designed to ensure appropriate resources are utilized to provide an effective, timely, and coordinated response in managing crises, including significant cyber threats and incidents. Among other things, the IRP sets forth roles and responsibilities in connection with detecting, assessing, and mitigating cybersecurity incidents and outlines applicable communication and escalation

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 28

 protocols. Under the CMP, our Crisis Management Committee will assume overall responsibility in an effort to ensure that the appropriate functions and work streams are mobilized and coordinated to effectively manage any significant cyber events.

 As with all large IT systems, we have been a target of cyberattackers and other hacking activities, as have certain of our third-party service providers. While our cybersecurity program is designed to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information, including through continuous improvement of our cybersecurity measures, and we have not experienced any material cyber threats or incidents to date, we can give no assurance that we will be able to prevent, identify, respond to, or mitigate the impacts of all cyber threats or incidents. To the extent future cyber threats or incidents result in significant disruptions and costs to our operations, reduce the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or otherwise substantially impact our business, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations. For additional discussion on our cybersecurity risks, refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-K.

 Cybersecurity governance

 Our Board of Directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business, with a focus on the most significant risks that we face, including those related to cybersecurity. The Board of Directors has delegated oversight of cybersecurity, including privacy and information security, as well as enterprise risk management to the Audit Committee. In connection with that oversight responsibility, our CIO and CISO meet with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis and provide information and updates on a range of cybersecurity topics which may include our cybersecurity program and governance processes; cyber risk monitoring and management; the status of projects to strengthen our cybersecurity and privacy capabilities; recent significant incidents or threats impacting our operations, industry, or third-party suppliers; and the emerging threat landscape. Our head of ERM also meets with our executive management team and the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis and with the Board of Directors on an annual basis and reports on applicable cyber risk management processes and activities pertinent to the ERM function. The Audit Committee has also periodically participated in certain of our cyber tabletop exercises.

 Our enterprise-wide cybersecurity program is managed by a dedicated information security team, including our Cyber and Privacy Risk Committee described above, led by our CISO. Our CISO has more than 25 years of technology experience across various disciplines, including 15 years of experience as a CISO in the financial, manufacturing, and CPG industries. He has led our global information security organization for more than five years. In addition to his employment experience in the cybersecurity field, our CISO has a Master of Business Administration in management and operations and a Bachelor's Degree in technology management, and he has served on corporate and industry advisory boards related to cybersecurity, all of which have provided him with skills and experience to manage our global information security function. Our CISO reports to our CIO, who meets regularly with other members of our executive team and provides relevant updates on our cybersecurity program.

In April 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock under the 2025 Authorization. The 2025 Authorization replaced the 2023 Authorization in its entirety and no further repurchases will be made pursuant to the 2023 Authorization. The 2025 Authorization expires on February 29, 2028. Subsequent to February 28, 2025, we repurchased 494,094 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2025 Authorization at an average cost of $185.53 per share through open market transactions.

 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 Introduction

 We have elected to omit discussion on the earliest of the three years covered by the consolidated financial statements presented. Refer to Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" located in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2024, filed on April 23, 2024, for reference to discussion of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, the earliest of the three fiscal years presented. This MD&A, which should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements, is organized as follows:

 Overview. This section provides a general description of our business and brief descriptions of recent goodwill and trademarks impairments, 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 a recent development, and significant divestitures, acquisitions, and investments.

 Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations presented on a business segment basis. 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, liquidity position, and commitments. Included in the analysis of outstanding debt is a discussion of the financial capacity available to fund our on-going operations and future commitments, as well as a discussion of other financing arrangements.

 Critical accounting policies and estimates. This section identifies accounting policies that are considered important to our results of operations and financial condition, require significant judgment, and involve significant management estimates. Our significant accounting policies, including those considered to be critical accounting policies, are summarized in Note 1.

 Overview

 Our internal management financial reporting consists of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits and we report our operating results in three segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Corporate Operations and Other. In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported beer brands and ABAs. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to produce our Mexican beer portfolio and to import, market, and sell such portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a portfolio that includes higher-end wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate communications, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy and growth, executive management, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public affairs, as well as our Canopy investment and 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.

 Goodwill impairment
 In connection with continued negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook and latest financial projections for this reporting unit. Based on the aforementioned factors, we performed an interim quantitative assessment, as of August 31, 2024, and an annual quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment which resulted in a $2,740.7

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 32

 million total goodwill impairment and the carrying value being written down to zero. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill and intangible assets impairment within our consolidated results for Fiscal 2025. See Notes 7, 8, and 13 for further discussion.

 Trademarks impairment
 In connection with the assessment of the same events and circumstances that resulted in the wine and spirits goodwill carrying value being written down to zero, we completed a quantitative assessment of our wine trademarks. As a result, we recognized a $57.0 million trademark impairment on certain held for sale wine brands. This loss was included in goodwill and intangible assets impairment within our consolidated results of operations for Fiscal 2025. See Note 7 for further discussion.

 Strategy

 Our business strategy for the Beer segment focuses on upholding our leadership position in the U.S. beer market, including the high-end segment, and continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins, enhancements to our results of operations and operating cash flow, and exploring new avenues for growth. In Fiscal 2026, we intend to increase distribution for key brands, optimize growth through differentiated brand positioning, price pack architecture, and market prioritization, as well as continue to invest in the next phase of modular capacity additions necessary to support our ongoing growth. Expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue under our Mexico Beer Projects to align with our anticipated future growth expectations, and we expect to spend approximately $2 billion over Fiscal 2026 through Fiscal 2028 largely on these activities. See "Capital Expenditures" below. Additionally, we continue to focus on consumer-led innovation by creating new line extensions behind celebrated, trusted brands and package formats, as well as new to world brands, that are intended to meet emerging needs.

 Our business strategy for the Wine and Spirits segment continues to focus on delivering growth and improving margins beyond Fiscal 2026 by driving our higher-end brands and operating efficiencies. We are repositioning this business to a portfolio of exclusively higher-end wine and spirits brands that we believe will generate higher growth and higher margins, including through the recently announced 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction. We remain a key supplier in U.S. 3-tier brick-and-mortar distribution. In addition, we are advancing our aim to become a global, omni-channel competitor in line with evolving consumer preferences as we continue our efforts to progressively expand into international markets, DTC channels (including hospitality), and 3-tier eCommerce. We have a contractual arrangement with Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits which consolidated our U.S. distribution and currently represents approximately 60% of our U.S. branded wine and spirits volume.

 Marketing, sales, and distribution of our products are primarily 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, ABA, and 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 remain committed to our long-term financial model of: growing sales, expanding margins, and increasing cash flow in order to continue to achieve comparable earnings per share growth as well as our target ratios for (i) comparable net leverage and (ii) dividend payout; investing to support the growth of our business; and delivering additional returns to stockholders through periodic share repurchases. Our results of operations and financial condition have been affected by an evolving consumer demand environment largely driven by what we believe to be non-structural socioeconomic factors. These factors include subdued spend, value-seeking behaviors, and reductions in the discretionary income available to purchase our products among consumers, elevated unemployment, changing prices, inflation, other unfavorable global and regional economic conditions, demographic trends in the U.S., global supply chain disruptions and constraints, and geopolitical events, as well as retailer destocking impacting our Wine and Spirits segment.

 Recent developments in international trade relations, including significant changes in U.S. trade policy and actions which include threatened, new, and increased tariffs on other countries and retaliatory tariffs and actions

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 33

 imposed on certain U.S. goods have produced heightened uncertainty with respect to trade and tariff policies and regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries, which could continue to alter the global trade environment. For example, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on product imports from certain countries (such as Mexico, the European Union including Italy, and New Zealand) and certain other countries have implemented tariffs on U.S. goods, such as the tariffs on certain product imports originating from the U.S. imposed by the Canadian government, although some of these tariffs were subsequently modified or delayed.

 We expect some or all of these market conditions and their impacts to continue into Fiscal 2026 which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We intend to continue to monitor the evolving consumer demand and economic environments and their impacts on our business. In addition, we have implemented the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, which is an enterprise-wide cost savings and restructuring initiative designed to help optimize the performance of our business, including through enhanced organizational efficiency and optimized expenditures across our organization. We also intend to continue our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately respond to softer consumer demand trends or fully mitigate rising costs, including as a result of new or increased tariffs, through increased selling prices, cost savings, productivity, efficiency, and inventory management initiatives, optimized marketing plans, and/or our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs. Furthermore, to the extent severe weather events that impact our business, such as wildfires, droughts, floods, extreme heat, and/or late frosts, or other weather conditions that constrain purchasing occasions for our consumers, continue to occur or accelerate in future periods, it could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 Recent Development

 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction
 In April 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to fully divest and, in certain instances, exclusively license the trademarks of a portion of our wine and spirits business, primarily centered around our remaining mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities for $900 million, subject to certain adjustments. The 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approval, and is expected to close immediately following the end of our first quarter of Fiscal 2026. We expect to use the net cash proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction for general corporate purposes. This transaction supports our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

 The 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction largely resulted in both (i) $879.8 million of wine and spirits net assets being reclassified to held for sale as of February 28, 2025, and (ii) a $478.0 million assets held for sale impairment. The impairment loss was included in assets held for sale impairment within our consolidated results of operations for Fiscal 2025.

 For additional information on this transaction, refer to Note 2.

 Selected financial information included in our results of operations for the portion of the Wine and Spirits business that we expect will no longer be part of our consolidated results is as follows:

 2025 Restructuring Initiative
 We have implemented the 2025 Restructuring Initiative which is expected to yield over $200 million in net annualized cost savings by Fiscal 2028. The majority of the work associated with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative is

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 34

 expected to be completed within Fiscal 2026 and is estimated to result in $80 million to $100 million of cumulative pre-tax costs once all phases are fully implemented. In connection with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, we recognized $46.9 million of pre-tax employee termination costs and $2.8 million of pre-tax consulting services costs in Fiscal 2025 and we anticipate incurring an additional approximately $40 million of pre-tax consulting services, employee termination, and other costs during Fiscal 2026. The Fiscal 2025 costs were included in selling, general, and administrative costs within our consolidated results. For additional information on the 2025 Restructuring Initiative, see Note 2.

 Divestitures, Acquisitions, and Investments

 Beer segment
 Mexicali Brewery sale
 In July 2024, we sold the remaining assets classified as held for sale at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

 Craft Beer Divestitures
 In June 2023, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures. Accordingly, our consolidated results of operations include the results of operations of such craft beer brands through the dates of these divestitures. The Craft Beer Divestitures are consistent with our strategic focus on continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins and enhancements to our results of operations.

 Daleville Facility sale
 In May 2023, we sold the Daleville Facility in connection with our decision to exit the craft beer business.

 Wine and Spirits segment
 On January 6, 2025, we sold the SVEDKA brand and related assets, primarily including inventory and equipment. We received $409.2 million of cash proceeds, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, which were used for general corporate purposes, including funding share repurchases, capital expenditures, and repayment of debt. Prior to the completion of the SVEDKA Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of the SVEDKA brand in the Wine and Spirits segment. For Fiscal 2025, we recognized a $266.0 million net gain in connection with this divestiture which was included in gain (loss) on sale of business within our consolidated results.

 Nelson's Green Brier investment
 In October 2024, we purchased the remaining 25% noncontrolling interest in Nelson's Green Brier, a portfolio of Tennessee-based craft bourbon and whiskey products.

 Sea Smoke acquisition
 In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

 These Wine and Spirits segment activities support our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

 Corporate Operations and Other segment
 Corporate ventures investments
 As of February 28, 2025, August 31, 2024, November 30, 2023, and August 31, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments and other securities measured at fair value, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance for the respective periods. These losses from impairment and on securities measured at fair value were included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the respective periods. In October 2023, we exited one of these equity method investments in exchange for a note receivable.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 35

 Canopy investment
 We have an investment in Canopy, a North American cannabis and CPG company providing medical and adult-use cannabis products, which provides us an investment interest in a business in adjacent categories.

 Exchangeable Shares —
 In April 2024, we elected to convert our 17.1 million Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, in April 2024, we exchanged C$81.2 million of the principal amount of our 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for 9.1 million Exchangeable Shares and forgave all accrued but unpaid interest together with the remaining principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $83.3 million net gain based on the fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange for Fiscal 2025.

 Additionally, as of November 30, 2024, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the business and industry factors that led to the decline in Canopy's common share price since the date of conversion and exchange. We concluded that an impairment did exist and wrote down the Exchangeable Shares to their estimated fair value. Due to the continued decline in Canopy's common share price, as of February 28, 2025, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for an additional impairment. We concluded an impairment did exist, and accordingly, the Exchangeable Shares were written down to their estimated fair value, resulting in a $76.1 million total impairment for Fiscal 2025.

 The Exchangeable Share activity for Fiscal 2025 resulted in a total net gain of $7.2 million which was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

 Canopy Equity Method Investment —
 We evaluated our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment as of May 31, 2023, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the fair value being less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy's stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recorded significant costs in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 results designed to align its Canadian cannabis operations and resources in response to continued unfavorable market trends, (iii) the substantial doubt about Canopy's ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, and (iv) Canopy's identification of material misstatements in certain of its previously reported financial results related to sales in its BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. reporting unit that were accounted for incorrectly, including the recording of a goodwill impairment during its restated second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a $266.2 million carrying value was written down to $142.7 million, its estimated fair value, resulting in a $123.5 million impairment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for Fiscal 2024. We no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy following the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares.

 Other Canopy investments —
 In April 2023, we extended the maturity of the remaining C$100.0 million principal amount of our then-existing Canopy Debt Securities by exchanging them for the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note. The fair value of the Canopy Debt Securities was $69.6 million as of February 28, 2023. As of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value and, accordingly, the fair value was reduced to zero.

 For additional information on these divestitures, acquisitions, and investments, refer to Notes 2, 5, 7, and 10.

 Results of Operations

 Financial Highlights

 References to organic throughout the following discussion exclude the impact of the SVEDKA Divestiture, as appropriate.

 Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024

 • Net sales increased 2% largely due to an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by shipment volume growth and favorable impact from pricing, partially offset by a decline in organic Wine and Spirits net sales driven primarily by a decrease in branded shipment volume.

 • Operating income decreased 89% largely due to (i) the Fiscal 2025 wine and spirits goodwill and wine trademark assets impairments and (ii) an impairment of assets held for sale largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, partially offset by (i) improvements within the Beer segment as the net sales growth and successful execution of cost savings initiatives outpaced higher marketing spend and (ii) a net gain related to the SVEDKA Divestiture.

 • Net income (loss) attributable to CBI and diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI each decreased 105% largely due to the items discussed above, partially offset by (i) a benefit from income taxes as compared to a provision for income taxes for Fiscal 2024, (ii) no longer recognizing equity losses from Canopy's results following the conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares, and (iii) a Fiscal 2024 impairment of our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment.

 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.

 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 reconfiguration costs
 We recognized costs primarily in connection with losses on write-downs of excess inventory resulting from our initiatives to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within our Wine and Spirits segment.

 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.

 Restructuring and other strategic business reconfiguration costs
 We recognized costs in connection with certain activities, which are intended to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within our Wine and Spirits segment, as well as those associated with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative.

 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.

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

 We recognized business interruption and other recoveries largely related to severe winter weather events. For additional information, refer to Note 16.

 Other gains (losses)
 We recognized other gains (losses) primarily from (i) a net loss on foreign currency as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments (Fiscal 2025), (ii) net decreases in estimated fair values of contingent liabilities associated with prior period acquisitions, and (iii) a net loss from changes in the indemnification of liabilities associated with prior period divestitures (Fiscal 2024).

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 38

 We recognized goodwill and intangible assets impairments in connection with continued negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands. For additional information, refer to Notes 7, 8, and 13.

 We recognized an impairment largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction. For additional information, refer to Note 2.

 We recognized a net gain (loss) from the (i) SVEDKA Divestiture (Fiscal 2025), (ii) Craft Beer Divestitures (Fiscal 2024), and (iii) sale of the Daleville Facility (Fiscal 2024). For additional information, refer to Note 2.

 Income (loss) from unconsolidated investments
 We recognized income (loss) primarily from (i) unrealized net losses from the changes in fair value of our securities measured at fair value, (ii) impairments of certain other equity method investments, (iii) a net gain in connection with Exchangeable Shares (Fiscal 2025), (iv) comparable adjustments to equity in losses from Canopy's results (Fiscal 2024), and (v) an impairment of our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment (Fiscal 2024). For additional information, refer to Notes 7 and 10.

While our shipment volume growth benefited from continued consumer demand, we believe it was suppressed due to the non-structural socioeconomic factors discussed above. We expect shipment volume to generally align with depletion volume for Fiscal 2026.

 The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is due to a $107.7 million decrease in organic net sales and $22.6 million from the SVEDKA Divestiture that are no longer part of our business. The decrease in organic net sales is driven by (i) a $93.5 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) a $30.1 million decrease in non-branded net sales led by a decline in bulk wine sales, and (iii) a $16.1 million decrease from pricing actions in certain markets, partially offset by $29.9 million of higher contractual distributor payments as compared to Fiscal 2024. The decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume is attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, primarily driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, as well as retailer inventory destocking. For Fiscal 2026, we expect depletion volume to outpace shipment volume, most notably during the first quarter.

 The increase in Beer gross profit is primarily due to (i) the $168.1 million of favorable impact from pricing, (ii) $141.5 million of shipment volume growth, and (iii) $75.8 million of reduced cost of product sold, partially offset by $33.5 million of unfavorable product mix. The reduced cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $41.0 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to increased production levels as compared to Fiscal 2024, (ii) $38.8 million of decreased transportation costs, (iii) $21.6 million of costs related to the Fiscal 2024 write-off of an indirect tax receivable, (iv) $16.3 million of lower material costs, including cartons, wooden pallets, aluminum, lumber, and glass each driven by efficiency initiatives, tempered by higher malt costs, and (v) $13.7 million of costs related to a Fiscal 2024 voluntary product recall of select kegs, partially offset by (i) a $33.0 million increase in brewery costs, including compensation and benefits, and (ii) $26.8 million of higher depreciation expense resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects. To partially offset the expected increases in cost of product sold we executed initiatives focused largely on logistics and procurement that resulted in over $200 million of cost savings for Fiscal 2025.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 40

 The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is due to a $83.1 million decrease in organic gross profit and $10.7 million from the SVEDKA Divestiture that are no longer part of the business. The decrease in organic gross profit is attributable to (i) a $58.7 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) $28.7 million of unfavorable product mix from lower-margin net sales, (iii) the $16.1 million of unfavorable pricing, and (iv) $12.2 million of increased cost of product sold, partially offset by the $29.9 million from higher contractual distributor payments. The increase in cost of product sold was largely attributable to unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Fiscal 2024 and increased materials costs, including grapes, partially offset by lower transportation and warehousing costs.

 Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 52.1% for Fiscal 2025 compared with 50.4% for Fiscal 2024. This increase was largely due to (i) approximately 80 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing, (ii) 75 basis points of rate growth from lower cost of product sold within the Beer segment, (iii) a favorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 40 basis points, and (iv) 15 basis points of rate growth from the decline in bulk wine net sales, partially offset by approximately 30 basis points of rate decline resulting from unfavorable product mix within the Wine and Spirits segment.

 The increase in Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $80.5 million of additional marketing spend primarily led by increased media investment to support our high-end imported beer brands, partially offset by $27.6 million of decreased general and administrative expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to (i) lower short-term incentive accruals, (ii) decreased legal expenses, and (iii) favorable foreign currency impact, partially offset by higher other compensation and benefits, including stock-based compensation expense.

 The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $17.5 million and $2.8 million of decreased general and administrative expenses and marketing spend, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower (i) litigation expenses, (ii) consulting services, and (iii) depreciation expense as compared to Fiscal 2024.

 Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses remained relatively flat as lower short-term incentive accruals and a tax credit resulting from our June 2024 corporate headquarters relocation were offset by higher (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) consulting services, (iii) other payroll expenses, and (iv) depreciation expense driven by the headquarters relocation.

 Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 19.1% for Fiscal 2025 as compared with 18.4% for Fiscal 2024. The increase is largely driven by an unfavorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 85 basis points of rate growth, partially offset by approximately 15 basis points of rate decline as the increase in Beer net sales exceeded the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 The increase in Beer operating income is largely attributable to the favorable impact from pricing, shipment volume growth, and reduced cost of product sold, led by cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the increased marketing spend and unfavorable product mix, as described above.

 The decrease in Wine and Spirits operating income is largely attributable to the decline in organic branded wine and spirits shipment volume, unfavorable product mix and pricing, and the SVEDKA Divestiture, partially offset by the higher contractual distributor payments and decreased general, and administrative expenses, as described above.

 As previously discussed, the Corporate Operations and Other operating loss remained relatively flat as lower net compensation and benefits impacts and the tax credit were offset by higher consulting services and depreciation expense.

 Interest expense, net decreased to $411.4 million for Fiscal 2025 as compared to $436.1 million for Fiscal 2024. This decrease of $24.7 million, or 6%, is largely due to (i) approximately $275 million of lower average borrowings and (ii) an increase in capitalized interest in connection with the Mexico Beer Projects as compared to Fiscal 2024. For additional information, refer to Note 12.

 (Provision for) benefit from income taxes
 The (provision for) benefit from income taxes increased to $51.7 million for Fiscal 2025 from $(456.6) million for Fiscal 2024. Our effective tax rate for Fiscal 2025 was 62.4% as compared with 20.6% for Fiscal 2024. In comparison to prior year, our effective tax rate was impacted primarily by:

 • the net income tax impacts resulting from Fiscal 2025 Wine and Spirits-related impairments including the non-deductible portion of the wine and spirits goodwill impairment; and
 • the net income tax expense resulting from (i) the SVEDKA Divestiture and (ii) adjustments to certain other valuation allowances; partially offset by
 • a Fiscal 2025 net income tax benefit recognized following the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 42

 The OECD introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a 15% global minimum tax rate. The current legislation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We continue to monitor developments for potential future impacts. Additionally, we provide for taxes that may be payable if undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were to be remitted to the U.S., except for those earnings that we consider to be indefinitely reinvested.

 For additional information, refer to Note 13.

 We expect our reported effective tax rate for Fiscal 2026 to be in the range of 17% to 19%.

 Net income (loss) attributable to CBI
 Net income (loss) attributable to CBI decreased to $(81.4) million for Fiscal 2025 from $1,727.4 million for Fiscal 2024. This decrease of $1,808.8 million, or 105%, is largely attributable to Fiscal 2025 Wine and Spirits-related impairments, including (i) wine and spirits goodwill, (ii) wine trademarks, and (iii) assets held for sale, partially offset by the (i) benefit from income taxes as compared to a provision for income taxes for Fiscal 2024, (ii) favorable impact from income (loss) from unconsolidated investments, driven by Fiscal 2024 Canopy-related activities, (iii) Fiscal 2025 improvements within the Beer segment, and (iv) the net gain related to the SVEDKA Divestiture.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 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 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, among other things.

 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 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 planned capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

 We have an agreement with a financial institution for payment services and to facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program through this participating financial institution. The program is available to certain of our suppliers allowing them the option to manage their cash flow. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institution and the suppliers in connection with the program. Our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. For additional information, refer to Note 16.

 The $153.6 million net change in operating assets and liabilities was largely driven by lower accounts payable resulting from beer cost-savings initiatives and the timing of payments as well as higher inventory levels for both the beer and the wine and spirits segments. Certain of our inventory was reclassified to assets held for sale, largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, as of February 28, 2025. Additionally, net cash provided by operating activities was positively impacted by lower Fiscal 2025 income tax payments as compared to Fiscal 2024.

 Investing activities
 Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $974.8 million for Fiscal 2025 from $1,285.9 million for Fiscal 2024. This decrease of $311.1 million, or 24%, was primarily due to (i) $403.8 million of increased proceeds from the sale of business, driven by the SVEDKA Divestiture, and (ii) $55.0 million of reduced capital expenditures for Fiscal 2025 as compared to Fiscal 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $151.2 million increase in business acquisitions, driven by the Sea Smoke acquisition. Business acquisitions and divestitures consist primarily of the following:

 The Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders are parties to the 2022 Credit Agreement. The October 2022 Credit Agreement Amendment revised certain defined terms and covenants in the 2022 Credit Agreement and became effective in April 2024 following the (i) amendment by Canopy of its Articles of Incorporation, (ii) conversion of our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares, and (iii) resignation of our nominees from the board of directors of Canopy.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 45

 The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of February 28, 2025, consisted of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from calendar 2025 to calendar 2050, as follows:

 Additionally, we have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility.

 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 expect to utilize unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 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.

 We had the following remaining borrowing capacity available under our 2022 Credit Agreement:

 The financial institutions participating in our 2022 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.

 As of February 28, 2025, we and our subsidiaries were subject to covenants that are contained in our 2022 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary 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 2022 Credit Agreement. As of

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 46

 February 28, 2025, under our 2022 Credit Agreement, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net leverage ratio was 4.0x.

 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 February 28, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenants under our 2022 Credit Agreement and our indentures, and have met all debt payment obligations.

 For further discussion and presentation of our borrowings and available sources of borrowing, refer to Note 12.

 Common Stock Dividends

 On April 9, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share of Class A Stock and $0.92 per share of Class 1 Stock payable on May 15, 2025, to stockholders of record of each class as of the close of business on April 29, 2025. We expect to return approximately $720 million to stockholders in Fiscal 2026 through cash dividends.

 While we currently expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock in the future, 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 this Form 10-K.

 Share Repurchase Program

 In each of January 2021 and November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock. The 2021 Authorization was fully utilized during Fiscal 2025, and the 2023 Authorization, of which approximately $1.5 billion remained unused, was canceled during Fiscal 2026. In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase of up to $4.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock under the 2025 Authorization, which expires in February 2028 and replaced the 2023 Authorization in its entirety.

 During Fiscal 2025, we repurchased 5,252,003 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2021 Authorization and the 2023 Authorization through open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $1,123.8 million, excluding the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA, or an average cost of $213.98 per share. We used cash on hand, primarily generated by cash flow from operations and proceeds from the SVEDKA Divestiture, to fund our Fiscal 2025 share repurchases. Subsequent to February 28, 2025, we repurchased 494,094 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2025 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $91.7 million, excluding the impact of Federal excise tax owed pursuant to the IRA, through open market transactions. We primarily used cash on hand to pay the purchase price for the repurchased shares.

 Share repurchases under the 2025 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, proceeds from borrowings, and/or divestiture proceeds. Any repurchased shares will become treasury shares, including shares previously repurchased under the 2021 Authorization, the 2023 Authorization, and the 2025 Authorization.

 We currently expect to return $4.0 billion in share repurchases to stockholders over the next three fiscal years, 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 this Form 10-K.

 For additional information, refer to Note 17.

 Capital Resources

 We have maintained 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 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 planned capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs.

For a detailed discussion of these items, refer to Note 13.
 (3)Contracts to purchase equipment and services primarily related to the Mexico Beer Projects. For further information about these purchase obligations, refer to "Capital Expenditures" below.

 Capital Expenditures

 During Fiscal 2025, we incurred $1,214.1 million for capital expenditures, including $991.5 million for the Beer segment primarily for the Mexico Beer Projects. We plan to spend approximately $1.2 billion for capital expenditures in Fiscal 2026, including approximately $1.0 billion for the Beer segment associated primarily with the Mexico Beer Projects. The remaining planned Fiscal 2026 capital expenditures consist of improvements to existing operating facilities and replacements of existing equipment and/or buildings. Management reviews the capital expenditure program periodically and modifies it as required to meet current and projected future business needs.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. We review estimates to ensure that they appropriately reflect changes in our business on an ongoing basis. Certain policies are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management to determine appropriate assumptions to be used in certain estimates; as a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. See Note 1 for a description of our significant accounting policies. Our critical accounting estimates include:

 • Goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets are classified into three categories: (i) goodwill, (ii) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, and (iii) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization. For intangible assets with definite lives, impairment testing is required if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For intangible assets with indefinite lives and for goodwill, impairment testing is required at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that these assets might be impaired. We may perform a qualitative evaluation prior to a quantitative test to determine if an impairment exists. However, if the results of the qualitative evaluation are inconclusive or suggest an impairment may exist, we must proceed to the quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including market conditions, industry changes, actual results as compared to forecasted results, or the timing of recent acquisitions and/or

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 49

 divestitures. The quantitative test estimates the fair value utilizing assumptions and projections regarding items such as future cash flows, revenues, earnings, and other factors. The factors and assumptions used reflect our estimates and are based on historical trends, projections, and assumptions, including expectations of future economic and competitive conditions that are used in current strategic operating plans; however, these are subject to change as a result of changing market conditions. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to recognize an impairment loss for these assets. The recognition of any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

 We perform annual impairment tests and re-evaluate the useful lives of other intangible assets with indefinite lives at the annual impairment test measurement date of January 1 or when circumstances arise that indicate a possible impairment or change in useful life might exist.

 Goodwill – Our reporting units with goodwill include the Beer segment and the Wine and Spirits segment. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis using both the qualitative and quantitative assessments. No indication of impairment was noted for our Beer reporting unit utilizing the qualitative assessment, as the estimated fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying value.

 During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, in connection with continued negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook for this reporting unit. The updated forecast indicated it was more likely than not the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment. This assessment indicated the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we performed our annual impairment analysis and updated our estimate of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit fair value to reflect the latest financial projections and an increase in the discount rate. As a result, we recognized an additional $490.7 million goodwill impairment to write-off the remaining goodwill balance for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit as of February 28, 2025.

 When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of goodwill, we measure the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of our reporting units are determined based on the discounted cash flow model. The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit were: (i) a 9% discount rate (for the interim assessment) and a 10% discount rate (for the annual assessment), (ii) a 1.5% expected long-term growth rate, and (iii) the annual cash flow projections.

 For Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, as a result of our annual goodwill impairment analyses, we concluded that there were no indications of impairment for either of our reporting units, however, we closely monitored broader industry and market conditions and our expectations for future performance as it related to our wine and spirits goodwill.

 Other intangible assets – Our intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and trademarks obtained through business acquisitions. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The trademarks that were determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Using the quantitative assessment, our trademarks are evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the trademarks to their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of trademarks is calculated based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method.

 In connection with our annual trademark analysis, we performed a qualitative assessment for the imported beer and spirits trademarks and concluded that there were no indications of impairment for these trademark units. We re-evaluated the wine units of account in contemplation of the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction and determined it was appropriate to have two reporting

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 50

 units, (i) held for sale brands and (ii) remaining brands. We performed a quantitative impairment test for the held for sale brands and remaining brands trademark units as certain continued negative trends indicated the fair value may not exceed its carrying value. When using the quantitative assessment, the estimated fair value of the trademarks is calculated based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method.

 The most significant assumptions used in the relief from royalty method to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets with indefinite lives in connection with this impairment testing were: (i) a 3% royalty rate (held for sale brands trademark unit) and a 7% royalty rate (remaining brands trademark unit), (ii) an 11% discount rate, (iii) a 1.5% expected long-term growth rate, and (iv) the annual revenue projections. This assessment indicated (i) the carrying value of the held for sale brands trademark unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $57.0 million trademark impairment as of February 28, 2025, and (ii) the estimated fair value of the remaining brands trademark unit exceeded its carrying value. We proceeded to perform sensitivities in our impairment testing of the remaining brands trademarks by (i) decreasing the royalty rate 50 basis points, (ii) increasing the discount rate 50 basis points, (iii) decreasing the expected long-term growth rate 50 basis points, and (iv) decreasing the annual revenue projections 100 basis points. None of these sensitivities individually would have resulted in a conclusion that the trademarks in our remaining brands reporting unit were impaired.

 We performed quantitative assessments in both Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 for the imported beer, wine, and spirits trademarks. There were no indications of impairment for any of our trademarks for Fiscal 2024. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, certain continued negative trends within our Funky Buddha and Four Corners craft beer portfolios, including ongoing negative cash flows, resulted in our decision to revise our long-term financial forecasts for these portfolios. Accordingly, the Beer segment's Funky Buddha and Four Corners craft beer businesses recognized $9.0 million and $4.0 million impairment losses, respectively, in connection with the write-off of their trademark assets. In Fiscal 2024, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures.

 Divestitures – When some, but not all of a reporting unit that constitutes a business is disposed of, some of the goodwill of the reporting unit should be allocated to the portion of the reporting unit being disposed of. The allocation of goodwill is based on the relative fair values of the portion of the reporting unit being disposed of and the portion of the reporting unit remaining. This approach requires a determination of the fair value of both the business being disposed and the businesses retained within the reporting unit.

 For Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2023, our estimate of fair value for the SVEDKA Divestiture and the 2022 Wine Divestiture, respectively, were determined based on the expected proceeds from the applicable transaction. The components sold were a part of the Wine and Spirits segment and were included in that reporting unit through the date of divestiture. Goodwill was allocated to the assets based on the relative fair value of the business being sold compared to the relative fair value of the reporting unit. Goodwill not allocated to assets associated with the divestiture remained in the wine and spirits reporting unit.

 For additional information on our goodwill and intangible assets refer to Notes 2, 7, 8, 9, and 13.

 • Accounting for income taxes. We estimate our deferred tax assets and liabilities, income taxes payable, provision for income taxes, and unrecognized tax benefit liabilities based upon various factors including, but not limited to, historical pretax operating income, future estimates of pretax operating income, differences between book and tax treatment of various items of income and expense, interpretation of tax laws, and tax planning strategies. We are subject to income taxes in Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, the U.S., and other jurisdictions. We are regularly audited by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, but a number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved.

 We believe all tax positions are fully supported. We recognize tax assets and liabilities in accordance with the FASB guidance for income tax accounting. Accordingly, we recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 51

 based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. In addition, changes in existing tax laws or rates could significantly change our current estimate of our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined. Changes in current estimates, if significant, could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

 We recognize our deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the expected future tax outcome of amounts recognized in our results of operations. If necessary, we recognize a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not they will not be realized. We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income, historical and projected operating results, and the availability of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. The realization of deferred tax assets is evaluated by jurisdiction and the realizability of these assets can vary based on the character of the tax attribute and the carryforward periods specific to each jurisdiction. We believe it is more likely than not the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize our existing deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances. Changes in the realizability of our deferred tax assets will be reflected in our effective tax rate in the period in which they are determined.

 Change in Accounting Guidance

 Accounting guidance adopted for Fiscal 2025 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For information on recently adopted accounting guidance and accounting guidance not yet adopted, see Note 1.

 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 Item 7A. 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, and interest rates. 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 Pre-issuance hedge 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 February 28, 2025, 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 72% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the year ending February 28, 2026, were hedged as of February 28, 2025.

 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 February 28, 2025, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging include aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. Approximately 63% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the year ending February 28, 2026, were hedged as of February 28, 2025.

 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:

 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 SOFR-based), certain of which includes a fixed margin subject to the same risks identified for our fixed interest rate debt.

 As of February 28, 2025, we had $275.0 million of outstanding cash flow designated, Pre-issuance hedge contracts designed to minimize interest rate volatility on our future debt issuances. There were no other cash flow designated or undesignated interest rate swap contracts or Pre-issuance hedge contracts outstanding as of February 28, 2025, or February 29, 2024.

 Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 Management of Constellation Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time.

 Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2025.

 The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
 Constellation Brands, Inc.:

 Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 We have audited Constellation Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended February 28, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated April 23, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

 Basis for Opinion
 The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 57

 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
 Constellation Brands, Inc.:

 Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Constellation Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended February 28, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended February 28, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated April 23, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 Basis for Opinion
 These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Critical Audit Matters
 The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
 Unrecognized tax benefits
 As discussed in Notes 1 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $ 318.9 million as of February 28, 2025.
 We identified the evaluation of certain of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits as a critical audit matter. Specifically, complex auditor judgment, including the involvement of tax and valuation

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 59

 professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, was required in evaluating the Company's interpretation of tax law and its estimate of the ultimate resolution of its tax positions.
 The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's process to evaluate uncertain tax positions. This included controls related to the interpretation of tax law, its application in the liability estimation process, and the review of activity that could result in changes to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits. We involved tax professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the Company's interpretation of tax law and tax authority rulings and in performing an independent assessment of certain of the Company's tax positions and the amount of unrecognized tax benefit, if any, and comparing the results to the Company's assessment. We also involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing certain transfer pricing studies for compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
 Fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit
 As discussed in Notes 1, 7, and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the three months ended August 31, 2024, in connection with negative trends within the Wine and Spirits business, the Company updated its outlook for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit. The updated forecast indicated it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment using a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of this reporting unit. The assessment indicated that the carrying value of this reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $ 2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. During the three months ended February 28, 2025, the Company performed its annual impairment analysis and updated its estimate of the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model to reflect the latest financial projections and an increase in the discount rate. As a result, the Company recognized an additional $ 490.7 million goodwill impairment charge to write-off the remaining goodwill balance for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit as of February 28, 2025.
 We identified the evaluation of the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model, including the discount rate, projected revenue growth rates and operating margins, and long-term growth rate. Changes to these key assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting unit. Additionally, specialized skills and knowledge were required to assess the discount rate and long-term growth rate assumptions used in determining the fair value.
 The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's goodwill impairment assessment process, including controls related to the determination of the key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. We evaluated the Company's projected revenue growth rates and operating margins by comparing them to the Company's historical performance and to relevant market data. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
 • evaluating the Company's long-term growth rate by comparing it to market data for long-term industry and economic growth expectations
 • evaluating the Company's discount rate by comparing it to a range of discount rates that were independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable companies.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 65

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FEBRUARY 28, 2025

 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Description of business
 We operate primarily in the beverage alcohol industry with operations in the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, and Italy producing a powerful portfolio of consumer-connected, high-end imported beer brands, and higher-end wine and spirits brands.

 Basis of presentation
 Principles of consolidation
 Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our majority-owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. In addition, we have an equally-owned joint venture with Owens-Illinois. The joint venture owns and operates a state-of-the-art glass production plant which provides bottles exclusively for the Nava Brewery. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and accordingly, the results of operations of the joint venture are reported in the Beer segment and are included in our consolidated results of operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 Reclassification
 We reclassified equity method investments to other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2024, to conform with current year presentation.

 If we are not required to consolidate our investment in another entity, we use the equity method when we (i) can exercise significant influence over the other entity and (ii) hold common stock and/or in-substance common stock of the other entity. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost, plus or minus our equity in the increases and decreases in the investee's net assets after the date of acquisition. We monitor our equity method investments for factors indicating other-than-temporary impairment. Dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

 Management's use of estimates
 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Summary of significant accounting policies
 Revenue recognition
 Our revenue (referred to in our financial statements as "sales") consists primarily of the sale of beer, wine, and spirits domestically in the U.S. Sales of products are for cash or otherwise agreed-upon credit terms. Our payment terms vary by location and customer, however, the time period between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. Our customers consist primarily of wholesale distributors. Our revenue generating activities have a single performance obligation and are recognized at the point in time when control transfers and our obligation has been fulfilled, which is when the related goods are shipped or delivered to the customer, depending upon the method of distribution, and shipping terms. We have elected to treat shipping as a fulfillment activity. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the sale of our product. Our sales terms do not allow for a right of return except for matters related to any manufacturing defects on our part. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in sales.

 As noted, the majority of our revenues are generated from the domestic sale of beer, wine, and spirits to wholesale distributors in the U.S. Our other revenue generating activities include the export of certain of our

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 66

 products to select international markets, as well as the sale of our products through state alcohol beverage control agencies, on-premise, retail locations in certain markets, and 3-tier eCommerce and DTC channels. We have evaluated these other revenue generating activities under the disaggregation disclosure criteria and concluded that they are immaterial for separate disclosure. See Note 22 for disclosure of net sales by product type.

 Sales reflect reductions attributable to consideration given to customers in various customer incentive programs, including pricing discounts on single transactions, volume discounts, promotional and advertising allowances, coupons, and rebates. This variable consideration is recognized as a reduction of the transaction price based upon expected amounts at the time revenue for the corresponding product sale is recognized. For example, customer promotional discount programs are entered into with certain distributors for certain periods of time. The amount ultimately reimbursed to distributors is determined based upon agreed-upon promotional discounts which are applied to distributors' sales to retailers. Other common forms of variable consideration include volume rebates for meeting established sales targets, and coupons and mail-in rebates offered to the consumer. The determination of the reduction of the transaction price for variable consideration requires that we make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amounts of revenue and liabilities recognized. We estimate this variable consideration by taking into account factors such as the nature of the promotional activity, historical information, and current trends, availability of actual results and expectations of customer and consumer behavior.

 Excise taxes remitted to tax authorities are government-imposed excise taxes primarily on our beverage alcohol products. Excise taxes are shown on a separate line item as a reduction of sales and are recognized in our results of operations when the related product sale is recognized. Excise taxes are recognized as a current liability in other accrued expenses and liabilities, with the liability subsequently reduced when the taxes are remitted to the tax authority.

 The types of costs included in cost of product sold are raw materials, packaging materials, manufacturing costs, plant administrative support and overheads, and freight and warehouse costs (including distribution network costs). Distribution network costs include inbound freight charges and outbound shipping and handling costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, and warehousing and internal transfer costs.

 The types of costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses consist predominately of advertising and non-manufacturing administrative and overhead costs. We expense advertising (hereafter referred to as "marketing") costs as incurred, shown, or distributed. Marketing expense for the years ended February 28, 2025, February 29, 2024, and February 28, 2023, was $ 931.2 million, $ 853.5 million, and $ 860.8 million, respectively.

 Foreign currency translation
 The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is generally the respective local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized as a component of AOCI. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 Cash and cash equivalents
 Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity when purchased of three months or less and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

 Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily computed in accordance with the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Elements of cost include materials, labor, and overhead.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 67

 Bulk wine inventories are included as in-process inventories within current assets, in accordance with the general practices of the wine industry, although a portion of such inventories may be aged for periods greater than one year. A substantial portion of barreled whiskey and brandy will not be sold within one year because of the duration of the aging process. All barreled spirits are classified as in-process inventories and are included in current assets, in accordance with industry practice. Warehousing, insurance, value added taxes, and other carrying charges applicable to barreled spirits held for aging are included in inventory costs.

 We assess the valuation of our inventories and reduce the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand, and market requirements.

 Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are recognized as an increase to the property accounts, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts at the time of disposal and resulting gains and losses are included as a component of operating income (loss).

 Interest incurred relating to expansion, optimization, and construction of facilities is capitalized to construction in progress. We cease the capitalization of interest when construction activities are substantially completed and the facility and related assets are available for their intended use. At this point, construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate asset class.

 Depreciation
 Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 Years

 Land improvements
 15 to 32

 Vineyards
 16 to 26

 Buildings and improvements
 10 to 50

 Machinery and equipment
 3 to 35

 Motor vehicles
 3 to 8

 Derivative instruments
 We enter into derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. We enter into derivatives for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated in hedge accounting relationships as well as those derivatives utilized as economic hedges. We do not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at estimated fair value (see Notes 6 and 7). We present our derivative positions gross on our balance sheets.

 The change in the fair value of outstanding cash flow hedges is deferred in stockholders' equity as a component of AOCI. For all periods presented herein, gains or losses deferred in stockholders' equity as a component of AOCI are recognized in our results of operations in the same period in which the hedged items are recognized and on the same financial statement line item as the hedged items.

 Changes in fair values for derivative instruments not designated in a hedge accounting relationship are recognized directly in our results of operations each period and on the same financial statement line item as the hedged item. For purposes of measuring segment operating performance, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of our undesignated commodity derivative contracts, prior to settlement, is reported outside of segment operating results until such time that the underlying exposure is recognized in the segment operating results. Upon 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 our operating segment results to reflect the

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 68

 economic effects of the commodity derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility.

 Cash flows from the settlement of derivatives, including both economic hedges and those designated in hedge accounting relationships, appear on our statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows of the hedged items.

 Fair value of financial instruments
 We calculate the estimated fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available. When quoted market prices are not available, we use standard pricing models for various types of financial instruments (such as forwards, options, swaps, and convertible debt) which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows (see Note 7).

 Goodwill and other intangible assets
 Goodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. We review our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment, or sooner, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We use January 1 as our annual impairment test measurement date. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist principally of trademarks. Intangible assets determined to have a finite life, primarily customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to review for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Note 9 provides a summary of intangible assets segregated between amortizable and nonamortizable amounts.

 Income taxes
 We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries is subject to GILTI, a U.S. tax on foreign earnings. We treat the tax effect of GILTI as a current period tax expense when incurred. We provide deferred income taxes, consisting primarily of foreign withholding and state taxes, on all applicable unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Interest and penalties are recognized as a component of (provision for) benefit from income taxes.

 We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination. We measure and recognize the tax benefit from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. In addition, changes in existing tax laws or rates could significantly change our current estimate of our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined. Changes in current estimates, if significant, could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

 Leases
 We recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet. We assess service arrangements to determine if an asset is explicitly or implicitly specified in the agreement and if we have the right to control the use of the identified asset.

 The right-of-use asset and lease liability are initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our secured incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rates are determined using a portfolio approach based on publicly available information in connection with our unsecured borrowing rates. We elected to recognize expenses for leases with a term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis over the lease term and not to recognize these short-term leases on the balance sheet.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 69

 The right-of-use asset and lease liability are calculated including options to extend or to terminate the lease when we determine that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. In making that determination, we consider various existing economic and market factors, business strategies as well as the nature, length, and terms of the agreement. Based on our evaluation using these factors, we concluded that the exercise of renewal options or early termination options would not be reasonably certain in determining the lease term at commencement for leases we currently have in place. Assumptions made at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events such as a lease modification.

 Certain of our contractual arrangements may contain both lease and non-lease components. We elected to measure the lease liability by combining the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes.

 Certain of our leases include variable lease payments, including payments that depend on an index or rate, as well as variable payments for items such as raw materials, labor, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses associated with leased assets. Certain grape purchasing arrangements include variable payments based on actual tonnage and price of grapes. In addition, certain third-party logistics arrangements include variable payments that vary depending on throughput. Such variable lease payments are excluded from the calculation of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred.

 Indemnification liabilities
 We have indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with certain acquisitions and divestitures. Indemnification liabilities are recognized when probable and estimable and included in deferred income taxes and other liabilities (see Note 16).

 Stock-based employee compensation
 We have two stock-based employee compensation plans (see Note 18). We apply grant date fair-value-based measurement methods in accounting for our stock-based payment arrangements and recognize all costs resulting from stock-based payment transactions, net of expected forfeitures, ratably over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards are subject to specific vesting conditions, generally time vesting, or upon retirement, disability, or death of the employee (as defined by the plan), if earlier. For awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, we recognize compensation expense ratably over the period from the date of grant to the date of retirement-eligibility.

 Net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI
 We have one class of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class A Stock. In addition, we have another class of common stock with an immaterial number of shares outstanding: Class 1 Stock. Prior to November 10, 2022, we had an additional class of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class B Stock. For additional information on the classes of common stock and the Reclassification, see Note 17.

 For the years ended February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, net income (loss) per common share attributable to CBI (hereafter referred to as "net income (loss) per common share") – basic for Class A Stock has been computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock reflects the weighted average shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The effect of dilutive securities includes the impact of outstanding stock-based awards. The dilutive computation does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net income (loss) per common share.

 For the year ended February 28, 2023, we used the two-class method for the computation and presentation of net income (loss) per common share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that calculates basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for each class of common stock separately based on dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Under the two-class method, Class A Stock was assumed to receive a 10 % greater participation

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 70

 in undistributed earnings (losses) than Class B Stock, in accordance with the respective minimum dividend rights of each class of stock.

 Net income (loss) per common share – basic excluded the effect of common stock equivalents and was computed using the two-class method. Net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock reflected the potential dilution that could result if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock was computed using the more dilutive of the if-converted or two-class method. For the year ended February 28, 2023, net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Stock was computed using the two-class method, until such conversion took place pursuant to the Reclassification. Net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class B Stock was computed using the two-class method and did not assume conversion of Class B Stock into shares of Class A Stock.

 For additional information on net income (loss) per common share, see Note 19.

 Accounting pronouncements
 Recently adopted accounting pronouncement
 Segment reporting —
 In November 2023, the FASB issued a standard requiring disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM as well as the title and position of the CODM. We adopted these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2025. The amendments in this standard were applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements (see Note 22).

 Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
 Income taxes —
 In December 2023, the FASB issued a standard to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This standard requires public companies to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (ii) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and disaggregated by material individual jurisdictions, and (iii) income from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2026, with early adoption permitted and this standard may be applied retrospectively. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

 Disaggregation of income statement expenses —
 In November 2024, the FASB issued a standard requiring disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items to be disclosed on an annual and interim basis. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 29, 2028, with early adoption permitted and this standard may be applied retrospectively. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

 2. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES, AND RESTRUCTURING

 Acquisitions
 Sea Smoke
 In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility for $ 158.7 million, net of closing and post-closing adjustments. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

 Austin Cocktails
 In April 2022, we acquired the remaining 73 % ownership interest in Austin Cocktails, which included a portfolio of small batch, ready-to-drink cocktails. This transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill and a trademark. In addition, the purchase price for Austin Cocktails includes an earn-out over five years based on performance. The results of operations of Austin Cocktails are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

 Lingua Franca
 In March 2022, we acquired the Lingua Franca business, including a collection of Oregon-based luxury wines, a vineyard, and a production facility. This transaction also included the acquisition of a trademark and inventory. In addition, the purchase price for Lingua Franca includes an earn-out over seven years based on performance. The results of operations of Lingua Franca are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

 Divestitures
 On January 6, 2025, we sold the SVEDKA brand and related assets, primarily including inventory and equipment. The net cash proceeds from the SVEDKA Divestiture were used for general corporate purposes, including funding share repurchases, capital expenditures, and repayment of debt. Prior to the SVEDKA Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of the SVEDKA brand in the Wine and Spirits segment.

 2022 Wine Divestiture
 On October 6, 2022, we sold certain of our mainstream and premium wine brands and related inventory. The net cash proceeds from the 2022 Wine Divestiture were utilized primarily to reduce outstanding borrowings. Prior to the 2022 Wine Divestiture, we recorded the results of operations of these brands in the Wine and Spirits segment.

 2025 Restructuring Initiative
 The 2025 Restructuring Initiative is an enterprise-wide cost savings and restructuring initiative designed to help optimize the performance of our business, including through enhanced organizational efficiency and optimized expenditures across our organization. The majority of the work associated with the 2025 Restructuring Initiative is expected to be completed within the year ending February 28, 2026, and is estimated to result in $ 80 million to $ 100 million of cumulative pre-tax costs once all phases are fully implemented. This range is estimated to be comprised of (i) employee termination costs ( 60 %) and (ii) consulting services as well as other costs, which primarily include contract termination costs ( 40 %). We recognized $ 49.7 million of pre-tax restructuring costs during the year ended February 28, 2025, comprised of (i) $ 46.9 million of employee termination costs and (ii) $ 2.8 million of consulting services costs that were included in selling, general, and administrative costs within our consolidated results. As of February 28, 2025, the $ 49.7 million of pre-tax restructuring costs were captured in accrued restructuring within other accrued expenses and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 11). We anticipate incurring approximately $ 40 million of additional pre-tax consulting services, employee termination, and other costs during the year ending February 28, 2026.

 Subsequent event
 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction
 In April 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to fully divest and, in certain instances, exclusively license the trademarks of a portion of our wine and spirits business, primarily centered around our remaining mainstream wine brands and associated inventory, wineries, vineyards, offices, and facilities for $ 900 million, subject to certain adjustments. The 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approval, and is expected to close immediately following the end of our first quarter of Fiscal 2026. We expect to use the net cash proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction for general corporate purposes.

 6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 Overview
 We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. The impact on our results and financial position and the amounts reported in our financial statements will vary based upon the currency, commodity, and interest rate movements during the period, the effectiveness and level of derivative instruments outstanding, and whether they are designated and qualify for hedge accounting.

 The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments change with fluctuations in currency rates, commodity prices, and/or interest rates and are expected to offset changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Our derivative instruments are held solely to manage our exposures to the aforementioned market risks as part of our normal business operations. We follow strict policies to manage these risks and do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows:

 Cash flow hedges
 Our derivative instruments designated in hedge accounting relationships are designated as cash flow hedges. We are exposed to foreign denominated cash flow fluctuations primarily in connection with third party and intercompany sales and purchases. We primarily use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain of these risks. In addition, we utilize interest rate swap, treasury lock, and swap lock contracts periodically to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. Derivatives managing our cash flow exposures generally mature within three years or less, with a maximum maturity of five years.

 To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the details of the hedging relationship must be formally documented at inception of the arrangement, including the risk management objective, hedging strategy, hedged item, specific risk that is being hedged, the derivative instrument, how effectiveness is being assessed, and how ineffectiveness will be measured. The derivative must be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the risk being hedged. Throughout the term of the designated cash flow hedge relationship on at least a quarterly basis, a retrospective evaluation and prospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed based on quantitative and qualitative measures. All components of our derivative instruments' gains or losses are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

 When we determine that a derivative instrument which qualified for hedge accounting treatment has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. In the event the relationship is no longer effective, we recognize the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative instrument from the date the hedging derivative instrument became no longer effective immediately in our results of operations. We also discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when (i) a derivative expires or is sold,

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 75

 terminated, or exercised; (ii) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; or (iii) we determine that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, but the original forecasted transaction continues to be probable of occurring, the existing gain or loss of the derivative instrument remains in AOCI and is reclassified into earnings (losses) when the forecasted transaction occurs. When it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, any remaining gain or loss in AOCI is recognized immediately in our results of operations.

 We expect $ 17.3 million of net gains, net of income tax effect, to be reclassified from AOCI to our results of operations within the next 12 months.

 Undesignated hedges
 Certain of our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; for others, we choose not to maintain the required documentation to apply hedge accounting treatment. These undesignated instruments are primarily used to economically hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency denominated receivables and payables; foreign currency investments, primarily consisting of loans to subsidiaries and foreign-denominated investments, and cash flows related primarily to the repatriation of those loans or investments; and commodity prices, including aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. We primarily use foreign currency forward and option contracts, generally less than 12 months in duration, and commodity swap contracts, generally less than 36 months in duration, with a maximum maturity of four years, to hedge some of these risks. In addition, from time to time, we utilize interest rate swap contracts, generally less than six months in duration, to economically hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates associated with the financing of significant investments and acquisitions. Our derivative policy permits the use of undesignated derivatives as approved by senior management.

 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 February 28, 2025, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $ 20.5 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on February 28, 2025, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

 7. 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 or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
 • 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 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).

 Interest rate swap and Pre-issuance hedge contracts
 The fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using discounted cash flow models based upon forward interest-rate yield curves, which are obtained from independent pricing services (Level 2 fair value measurement).

 Short-term borrowings
 Our short-term borrowings consist of our commercial paper program and the revolving credit facility under our senior credit facility. The revolving credit facility is a variable interest rate bearing note with a fixed margin, adjustable based upon our debt rating (as defined in our senior credit facility). For these short-term borrowings the carrying value approximates the fair value.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 78

 Long-term debt
 The fair value of our 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). As of February 28, 2025, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $ 10,691.0 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $ 9,990.0 million. As of February 29, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $ 11,637.9 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $ 10,775.8 million.

 The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value as of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

 During the three months ended August 31, 2024, in connection with continued negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook for this reporting unit. The updated forecast indicated it was more likely than not the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment. This assessment indicated that the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $ 2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. During the three months ended February 28, 2025, we performed our annual impairment analysis and updated our estimate of the fair value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit to reflect the latest financial projections and an increase in the discount rate. As a result, we recognized an additional $ 490.7 million goodwill impairment to write-off the remaining goodwill balance for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit as of February 28, 2025. The $ 2,740.7 million total loss from impairment was included in goodwill and intangible assets impairment within our consolidated results for the year ended February 28, 2025. See Notes 8, 9, and 13 for further discussion.

 When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of goodwill, we measure the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on the discounted cash flow model. The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model were: (i) a 9 % discount rate (for the interim assessment) and a 10 % discount rate (for the annual assessment), (ii) a 1.5 % expected long-term growth rate, and (iii) the annual cash flow projections.

 For the three months ended February 28, 2025, largely in connection with the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction, assets held for sale with a $ 1,357.8 million carrying value, were written down to their current estimated fair value of $ 879.8 million, less costs to sell, resulting in a $ 478.0 million loss. This loss from impairment was included within assets held for sale impairment within our consolidated results for the year ended February

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 80

 28, 2025. These assets consisted primarily of inventory, production facilities, and intangible assets which had satisfied the conditions necessary to be classified as held for sale. Our estimated fair value was largely based on the expected proceeds from the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction as of February 28, 2025.

 Trademarks
 For the year ended February 28, 2025, in connection with the assessment of the same events and circumstances that resulted in the wine and spirits goodwill carrying value being written down to zero, we completed a quantitative assessment of our wine trademarks. We re-evaluated the wine units of account in contemplation of the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction and determined it was appropriate to have two reporting units, (i) held for sale brands and (ii) remaining brands. As a result, the held for sale brands trademark unit with a $ 182.8 million carrying value was written down to its estimated fair value of $ 125.8 million, resulting in a $ 57.0 million impairment. This loss was included in goodwill and intangible assets impairment within our consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2025.

 When performing the quantitative assessment, the estimated fair value of the trademarks is calculated based on an income approach using the relief from royalty method. The most significant assumptions used in the relief from royalty method to determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets with indefinite lives in connection with this impairment testing were: (i) a 3 % royalty rate (held for sale brands trademark unit) and a 7 % royalty rate (remaining brands trademark unit), (ii) an 11 % discount rate, (iii) a 1.5 % expected long-term growth rate, and (iv) the annual revenue projections.

 For the year ended February 28, 2023, in connection with certain continued negative trends within our Beer segment's Funky Buddha and Four Corners craft beer portfolios, we updated our long-term financial forecasts for these portfolios. As a result, the Funky Buddha and Four Corners craft beer trademark assets with a carrying value of $ 13.0 million were written-off, resulting in an impairment of $ 13.0 million. This loss was included in goodwill and intangible assets impairment within our consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2023. The estimated fair value of these trademark assets was determined based on our updated cash flow projections. Additionally, in June 2023, we completed the Funky Buddha Divestiture and the Four Corners Divestiture.

 As of February 28, 2025, August 31, 2024, November 30, 2023, and August 31, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function within the Corporate Operations and Other segment, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance. These losses from impairment were included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the respective periods. The estimated fair values for the equity method investments evaluated as of February 28, 2025, August 31, 2024, and November 30, 2023, were based largely on the cash flows expected to be generated by the investment using unobservable data points. The estimated fair value for the equity method investments evaluated as of August 31, 2023, was based largely on observable prices for similar assets. In October 2023, we exited one of these equity method investments in exchange for a note receivable.

 We evaluated our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment as of May 31, 2023, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the fair value being less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy's stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recorded significant costs in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 results designed to align its Canadian cannabis operations and resources in response to continued unfavorable market trends, (iii) the substantial doubt about Canopy's ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, and (iv) Canopy's identification of material misstatements in certain of its previously reported financial results related to sales in its BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. reporting unit that were accounted for incorrectly, including the recording of a goodwill impairment during its restated second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying value of $ 266.2 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $ 142.7 million, resulting in an impairment of $ 123.5 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the year ended February 29, 2024. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of May 31,

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 81

 2023. Additionally, we no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy following the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares. For additional information, refer to Note 10.

 As of August 31, 2022, we evaluated our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the period of time for which the fair value had been less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy's stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recording a significant impairment of goodwill related to its cannabis operations during its first quarter of fiscal 2023, and (iii) the uncertainty of U.S. federal cannabis permissibility. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying value of $ 1,695.1 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $ 634.8 million, resulting in an impairment of $ 1,060.3 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the year ended February 28, 2023. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of August 31, 2022.

 Long-lived assets
 For the year ended February 28, 2023, in connection with certain continued negative trends within our Beer segment's craft beer business, management updated its long-term financial forecasts for this business and determined it was no longer part of the beer asset group. This change in financial forecasts indicated it was more likely than not the fair value of our long-lived assets associated with the craft beer business might be below its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative assessment for impairment. As a result, certain long-lived assets with a carrying value of $ 59.8 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $ 6.3 million, resulting in a loss of $ 53.5 million. This loss was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 28, 2023. These assets consisted primarily of property, plant, and equipment, including the Daleville Facility. Our estimated fair value was primarily based on the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Additionally, in May 2023, we sold the Daleville Facility in connection with our decision to exit the craft beer business.

 Other investments in debt and equity securities
 We have multiple investments through our corporate venture capital function in debt and equity securities. As of February 28, 2025, we evaluated certain investments, primarily driven by business underperformance and solvency concerns, and concluded they should be written down to zero resulting in a loss of $ 47.9 million. This loss on securities measured at fair value was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the year ended February 28, 2025.

 Exchangeable Shares
 As of November 30, 2024, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the business and industry factors that led to the decline in Canopy's common share price since the date of conversion and exchange. We concluded that an impairment did exist and wrote down the Exchangeable Shares to their estimated fair value. Due to the continued decline in Canopy's common share price, as of February 28, 2025, we evaluated the Exchangeable Shares for an additional impairment. We concluded an impairment did exist, and accordingly, the Exchangeable Shares with a $ 97.3 million carrying value at the April 2024 date of conversion and exchange were written down to $ 21.2 million, their estimated fair value as of February 28, 2025, resulting in a $ 76.1 million total impairment. The estimated fair values were determined using the same valuation model as of the date of conversion and exchange as noted below. This total loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the year ended February 28, 2025. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

 In April 2024, we elected to convert our 17.1 million Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, in April 2024, we exchanged C$ 81.2 million of the principal amount of the C$ 100.0 million 4.25 % promissory note issued to us by Canopy for 9.1 million Exchangeable Shares and forgave all accrued but unpaid interest together with the remaining principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $ 83.3 million net gain in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the year ended February 28, 2025. The fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy's common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy's common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As the Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for the Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method.

 Senior credit facility
 In October 2022, the Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders agreed to amend the 2022 Credit Agreement. The October 2022 Credit Agreement Amendment revised certain defined terms and covenants and became effective in April 2024 following the (i) amendment by Canopy of its Articles of Incorporation, (ii) conversion of our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares, and (iii) resignation of our nominees from the board of directors of Canopy.

 In April 2022, the Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into the 2022 Restatement Agreement that amended and restated our then-existing senior credit facility (as

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 85

 amended and restated by the 2022 Restatement Agreement, the 2022 Credit Agreement). The principal changes effected by the 2022 Restatement Agreement were the:

 • refinance and increase of the existing revolving credit facility from $ 2.0 billion to $ 2.25 billion and extension of its maturity to April 14, 2027;
 • refinement of certain negative covenants; and
 • replacement of LIBOR rates with rates based on term SOFR.

 April 2022 Term Credit Agreement
 In April 2022, the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Lender amended our then-existing credit agreement (as amended, the April 2022 Term Credit Agreement). The April 2022 Term Credit Agreement provided for a $ 491.3 million five year term loan facility. The principal changes effected by the amendment were the refinement of certain negative covenants and replacement of LIBOR rates with rates based on term SOFR. In August 2023, we repaid the outstanding five-year term loan facility borrowings under the April 2022 Term Credit Agreement with proceeds from commercial paper borrowings.

 August 2022 Term Credit Agreement
 In August 2022, the Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement. The August 2022 Term Credit Agreement provided for a $ 1.0 billion term loan facility and was not subject to amortization payments, with the balance due and payable three years after the November 10, 2022, funding date. The proceeds from the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement were used to partially fund the aggregate cash payment to holders of Class B Stock in connection with the Reclassification and to pay related fees as well as fees related to closing the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement. In February 2023, we repaid a portion of our indebtedness under the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement with proceeds from senior notes issued in February 2023. In May 2023, we repaid the remaining outstanding borrowings under the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement with proceeds from senior notes issued in May 2023. For additional information, refer to "Senior notes" below.

 We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary 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.

 Our senior credit facility permits us to elect, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase and other customary conditions, to increase the revolving credit commitments. The increased commitments may be an unlimited amount so long as our net leverage ratio, as defined and computed pursuant to our senior credit facility, is no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 subject to certain limitations for the period defined pursuant to our senior credit facility.

 We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 2.25 billion of commercial paper.

 Indentures
 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.

 Subsidiary credit facilities
 We have additional credit arrangements totaling $ 46.7 million and $ 67.7 million as of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, respectively. As of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, amounts outstanding under these arrangements were $ 8.7 million and $ 17.8 million, respectively, the majority of which is classified as long-term as of the respective date. These arrangements primarily support the financing needs of our domestic and foreign subsidiary operations. Interest rates and other terms of these borrowings vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions.

 Debt payments
 As of February 28, 2025, the required principal repayments under long-term debt obligations (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $ 47.0 million and $ 20.7 million, respectively) for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income. Additionally, we have provided deferred income taxes, consisting primarily of foreign withholding and state taxes, on all applicable unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, except for those earnings that we consider to be indefinitely reinvested.

 Significant components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following:

 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this assessment, we consider the projected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income as well as tax planning strategies. Based upon this assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of any valuation allowances.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 91

 As of February 28, 2025, operating loss carryforwards, which are primarily state and foreign, totaling $ 3.2 billion are being carried forward in a number of jurisdictions where we are permitted to use tax operating losses from prior periods to reduce future taxable income. Of these operating loss carryforwards, $ 1.7 billion will expire by fiscal 2032, $ 850.0 million will expire between fiscal 2033 and fiscal 2045, and $ 650.0 million may be carried forward indefinitely in certain jurisdictions. Additionally, as of February 28, 2025, federal capital losses totaling $ 1.4 billion are being carried forward in multiple jurisdictions; and will expire, if unused, between Fiscal 2029 and fiscal 2034.

 We have recognized valuation allowances for operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets when we believe it is more likely than not that these items will not be fully realized. The increase in our valuation allowances as of February 28, 2025, primarily related to operating loss carryforwards.

 The liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties, and a reconciliation of the beginning and ending unrecognized tax benefit liabilities is as follows:

 As of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, we had $ 438.4 million and $ 488.5 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, including interest and penalties, recognized on our balance sheets. These liabilities are primarily recorded as non-current as of the balance sheet date.

 As of February 28, 2025, we had $ 318.9 million of unrecognized tax benefit liabilities, of which $ 183.4 million if recognized would decrease the effective tax rate in the year of resolution. As of February 29, 2024, we had $ 416.1 million of unrecognized tax benefit liabilities that if recognized would decrease the effective tax rate in the year of resolution.

 We file U.S. federal income tax returns and various state, local, and foreign income tax returns. Major tax jurisdictions where we are subject to examination by tax authorities include Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the U.S. Various U.S. state and foreign income tax examinations are currently in progress. It is reasonably possible that the liability associated with our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities will increase or decrease within the next 12 months as a result of these examinations or the expiration of statutes of limitation. As of February 28, 2025, we estimate that unrecognized tax benefit liabilities could change by a range of $ 100 million to $ 250 million. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign income tax examinations for fiscal years prior to February 28, 2022.

 We provide for additional tax expense based on probable outcomes of ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. While it is often difficult to predict the outcome or the timing of resolution of any tax matter, we believe the reserves reflect the probable outcome of known tax contingencies. Unfavorable settlement of any particular issue would require the use of cash.

 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 Purchase commitments and contingencies
 We have entered into various long-term contracts in the normal course of business. As of February 28, 2025, the estimated aggregate minimum purchase commitments under these contracts through the date of the last contractual commitment are as follows:

 Type
 Commitment Date

 Raw materials and supplies (1)

 (1)Certain grape purchasing arrangements include the purchase of grape production yielded from specified blocks of a vineyard. The actual tonnage and price of grapes that we purchase will vary each year depending on certain factors, including weather, time of harvest, overall market conditions, and the agricultural practices and location of the vineyard. Amounts included herein for the estimated aggregate minimum grape purchase commitments consist of estimates for the purchase of the grapes and the implicit leases of the land. Certain grape purchasing arrangements classified as leases have not resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet due to their variable nature.
 (2)Consists of purchase commitments entered into primarily in connection with the Mexico Beer Projects.

 We expect a portion of our purchase commitments under these contracts to transfer with the 2025 Wine Divestitures Transaction.

 Indemnification liabilities
 In connection with prior divestitures, we have indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise subsequent to the divestiture. As of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, these liabilities consist primarily of indemnifications related to certain income tax matters and lease contracts. As of February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, the carrying amount of our indemnification liabilities was $ 18.4 million and $ 32.9 million, respectively, and are included in other accrued expenses and liabilities and deferred income taxes and other

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 95

 liabilities. We do not expect to be required to make material payments under the indemnifications and we believe that the likelihood is remote that the indemnifications could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

 Supply chain finance program
 We have an agreement with a financial institution for payment services and facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program through this participating financial institution. The program is available to certain of our suppliers allowing them the option to manage their cash flow. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institution and the suppliers in connection with the program. Our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. We account for payments made under the supply chain finance program the same as our other accounts payable, as a reduction to our cash flow from operating activities.

 (2)Reflects amount payable to the participating financial institution for suppliers who voluntarily participated in the supply chain finance program and was included in accounts payable within our consolidated balance sheets.

 Legal matters
 In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to lawsuits, arbitration, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with our business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages and/or injunctive relief. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Management believes that we have adequate legal defenses with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and that the outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows. However, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

 Regulatory matters
 We are in discussions with various governmental agencies concerning matters raised during regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to such agencies' inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines, or other sanctions. Management believes the outcome of any pending regulatory matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows. However, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

 During the year ended February 29, 2024, we recorded $ 56.3 million of business interruption and other recoveries from our insurance carriers. These recoveries related to an outage at our Nava Brewery due to severe winter weather events in early 2021. These proceeds are included in our consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 29, 2024.

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 96

 17. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 Common stock
 We have one class of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class A Stock. Holders of Class A Stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, we have a class of common stock with an immaterial number of shares outstanding: Class 1 Stock. Shares of Class 1 Stock generally have no voting rights. Class 1 Stock shares are convertible into shares of Class A Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder immediately sells the Class A Stock acquired upon conversion. Because shares of Class 1 Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Stock, for each share of Class 1 Stock issued, we must reserve one share of Class A Stock for issuance upon the conversion of the share of Class 1 Stock. Holders of Class 1 Stock do not have any preference as to dividends, but may participate in any dividend if and when declared by the Board of Directors. If we pay a cash dividend on Class 1 Stock, each share of Class A Stock will receive an amount at least 10 % greater than the amount of cash dividend per share paid on Class 1 Stock. In addition, the Board of Directors may declare and pay a dividend on Class A Stock without paying a dividend on Class 1 Stock.

 Prior to the Reclassification, we had an additional class of common stock with a material number of shares outstanding: Class B Stock. Shares of Class B Stock were convertible into shares of Class A Stock on a one-to-one basis at any time at the option of the holder. Holders of Class B Stock were entitled to 10 votes per share. See "Reclassification" below for additional information.

 The number of shares of common stock issued and treasury stock, and associated share activity, are as follows:

 Reclassification
 In November 2022, we completed the Reclassification at the Effective Time as contemplated by the Reclassification Agreement. Pursuant to the Reclassification, each share of Class B Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was reclassified, exchanged, and converted into one share of Class A Stock and the right to receive $ 64.64 in cash, without interest. The aggregate cash payment to holders of Class B Stock at the Effective Time was $ 1.5 billion. We utilized our $ 1.0 billion delayed draw three-year term loan facility under the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement and borrowings under our commercial paper program to fund the aggregate cash payment to holders of Class B Stock.

 Common stock dividends
 In April 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $ 1.02 per share of Class A Stock and $ 0.92 per share of Class 1 Stock payable in the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.

 In October 2024, we purchased the remaining 25 % noncontrolling interest in Nelson's Green Brier, a portfolio of Tennessee-based craft bourbon and whiskey products.

 Under our Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units, and other stock-based awards may be granted to our employees, officers, and directors. The aggregate number of shares of our Class A Stock and Class 1 Stock available for awards under our Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan is 108,000,000 shares.

 The exercise price, vesting period, and term of nonqualified stock options granted are established by the committee administering the plan (the "Committee"). The exercise price of any nonqualified stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our Class A Stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options generally vest and become exercisable over a three-year period from the date of grant and expire as established by the Committee, but not later than 10 years after the grant date.

 Grants of restricted stock units, performance share units, and other stock-based awards may contain such vesting periods, terms, conditions, and other requirements as the Committee may establish. Restricted stock unit awards are based on service and generally vest over one to three years from the date of grant. Performance share unit awards are based on service and the satisfaction of certain performance conditions, and vest over a required employee service period, generally from one to three years from the date of grant, which closely matches the performance period. The performance conditions include the achievement of specified financial or operational performance metrics, or market conditions which require the achievement of specified levels of stockholder return relative to other companies as defined in the applicable performance share unit agreement. The actual number of shares to be awarded upon vesting of a performance share unit award will range between 0 % and 200 % of the target award, based upon the measure of performance as certified by the Committee.

 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which 9,000,000 shares of Class A Stock may be issued. Under the terms of the plan, eligible employees may purchase shares of our Class A Stock through payroll deductions. The purchase price is the lower of 85 % of the fair market value of the stock on the first or last day of the purchase period. For the years ended February 28, 2025, February 29, 2024, and February 28, 2023, employees purchased 67,405 shares, 59,408 shares, and 57,284 shares, respectively, under this plan.

 Other
 As of February 28, 2025, there was $ 57.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock-based employee compensation plans. This cost is expected to be recognized in our results of operations over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. With respect to the issuance of shares under any of our stock-based compensation plans, we have the option to issue authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

Net sales to customers which individually amount to

 #WORTHREACHINGFOR I 104

 Net sales for the above customers are primarily reported within the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments, respectively. Our arrangements with certain of our customers may, generally, be terminated by either party with prior notice. The majority of our accounts receivable balance is generated from sales to independent distributors with whom we have a predetermined collection date arranged through electronic funds transfer. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial position, and management is of the opinion that any risk of significant loss is reduced due to the diversity of our customers and geographic sales area.

 22. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

 Our internal management financial reporting consists of two business divisions: (i) Beer and (ii) Wine and Spirits and we report our operating results in three segments: (i) Beer, (ii) Wine and Spirits, and (iii) Corporate Operations and Other. In the Beer segment, our portfolio consists of high-end imported beer brands and ABAs. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to produce our Mexican beer portfolio and to import, market, and sell such portfolio in the U.S. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a portfolio that includes higher-end wine brands complemented by certain higher-end spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate communications, corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy and growth, executive management, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public affairs, as well as our Canopy investment and 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. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. 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. Our CODM utilizes segment comparable operating income (loss) performance in deciding how to deploy capital in line with disciplined and balanced priorities. These priorities largely include investing in our people and our brands, making capital investments and strategic acquisitions, providing a cash dividend program, and from time-time time, repurchasing shares of our common stock. Our CODM also monitors budgeted versus actual results in assessing segment operating performance and understanding underlying business trends.

 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 does not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments, collectively referred to as comparable operating income (loss). We evaluate segment operating performance based on comparable operating income (loss) of the respective business units.

 The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described for the Company in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Note 1. Segment information is as follows:

 Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value given the substantial doubt about Canopy's ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, prior to the maturity of the note. Accordingly, the fair value of the remaining balance for this instrument was determined to be zero. In April 2024, we exchanged the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares. Additionally, as of November 30, 2024 and February 28, 2025, we impaired our Exchangeable Shares.
