NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2016
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “CBI,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Constellation Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q and reflect, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016 (the “2016 Annual Report”). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. During the three months ended August 31, 2016, we recorded an immaterial adjustment on our balance sheet for the conversion of noncontrolling equity interest to long-term debt of $132.0 million related to a prior period (see Note 7).
2. INVENTORIES:
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 and consist of the following:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
Overview –
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016.
The aggregate notional value of outstanding derivative instruments is as follows:
August 31, 2016 | February 29, 2016 | ||||||
(in millions) | |||||||
Derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments | |||||||
Foreign currency contracts | $ | 899.2 | $ | 731.6 | |||

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 August 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $69.6 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2016, we would have had sufficient availability under our available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.
Results of period derivative activity –
The estimated fair value and location of our derivative instruments on our balance sheets are as follows (see Note 4):

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements for financial instruments. This guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. It establishes 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 interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset and 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 and assumptions –
The methods and assumptions we use to estimate the fair value for each class of our financial instruments are presented in Notes 1 and 7 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016. The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable to banks, approximate fair value as of August 31, 2016, and February 29, 2016, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of August 31, 2016, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7,914.7 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $8,111.3 million. As
7
of February 29, 2016, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $7,672.9 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $7,252.0 million.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis:

(1) | Purchase accounting allocations associated with the acquisitions of Ballast Point (as defined below) (Beer) and Meiomi (as defined below) (Wine and Spirits). |
(2) | Preliminary purchase accounting allocations associated primarily with the acquisition of Prisoner (as defined below) (Wine and Spirits). |
As of August 31, 2016, and February 29, 2016, we have accumulated impairment losses associated with goodwill assigned to our Wine and Spirits’ Canadian reporting unit of C$289.1 million, or $220.6 million and $213.5 million, respectively.
Prisoner –
In April 2016, we acquired The Prisoner Wine Company business, consisting primarily of trademarks, related inventories and certain grape supply contracts, for $284.9 million (“Prisoner”). The results of operations of Prisoner are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Ballast Point –
In December 2015, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of Home Brew Mart, Inc. d/b/a/ Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits (“Ballast Point”). The following table summarizes the allocation of the estimated fair value for the significant assets acquired:
(in millions) | |||
Goodwill | $ | 761.7 | |

Other | 15.5 | ||
Total estimated fair value | 1,000.0 | ||
Less – cash acquired | (1.5 | ) | |
Purchase price | $ | 998.5 |
Goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future growth opportunities associated with the acquisition of a high-growth premium platform that enables us to compete in the fast-growing craft beer category, further strengthening our position in the high-end U.S. beer market. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of Ballast Point are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Meiomi –
In August 2015, we acquired the Meiomi wine business, consisting primarily of the trademark, related inventories and certain grape supply contracts, for $316.2 million (“Meiomi”). The results of operations of Meiomi are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Senior credit facility –
In March 2016, the Company, CIH International S.à r.l., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ours (“CIH”), CIH Holdings S.à r.l., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ours (“CIHH”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and certain other lenders entered into a Restatement Agreement (the “2016 Restatement Agreement”) that amended and restated our prior senior credit facility (as amended and restated by the 2016 Restatement Agreement, the “2016 Credit Agreement”). The principal changes effected by the 2016 Restatement Agreement were:
• | The creation of a new $700.0 million European Term A-1 loan facility maturing on March 10, 2021; |
• | An increase of the European revolving commitment under the revolving credit facility by $425.0 million to $1.0 billion; |
• | The addition of CIHH as a new borrower under the new European Term A-1 loan facility and the European revolving commitment; and |
• | The entry into a cross-guarantee agreement by CIH and CIHH whereby each guarantees the other’s obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement. |
In addition, the European obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. These obligations are also secured by a pledge of (i) 100% of certain interests in certain of CIH’s subsidiaries, (ii) 100% of certain interests in certain of CIHH’s subsidiaries and (iii) 100% of the ownership interests in certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the ownership interests in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.
Proceeds from borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement were used to refinance outstanding obligations under our prior senior credit facility and short-term borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facilities, and for other general corporate purposes.

Interest rate swap contracts –
In April 2012, we entered into interest rate swap agreements which fixed our interest rates on $500.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt at an average rate of 2.8% (exclusive of borrowing margins) through September 1, 2016. We have entered into $250.0 million of additional one-month LIBOR base rate delayed-start interest rate swap agreements effective September 1, 2016, which are designated as cash flow hedges for $250.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt. As a result, we have fixed our interest rates on $250.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt at an average rate of 1.1% (exclusive of borrowing margins) from September 1, 2016, through July 1, 2020.
Senior notes –
In August 2006, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Notes due September 2016 (the “August 2006 Senior Notes”). On August 30, 2016, we repaid the August 2006 Senior Notes primarily with cash flows from operating activities.
Other –
Canadian credit agreement:
In June 2016, through a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ours, we entered into a new secured Canadian credit agreement which provides for a C$275.0 million term loan facility ($214.1 million at issuance) and a C$50.0 million revolving credit facility which was undrawn at issuance (the “Canadian Credit Agreement”). The interest rate varies based on the subsidiary’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Canadian Credit Agreement) and is a function of a base rate plus a margin. The Canadian Credit Agreement has a maturity of June 21, 2018. Proceeds from borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement were used for general corporate purposes. As of August 31, 2016, under the Canadian Credit Agreement, there were outstanding term loan borrowings of C$275.0 million, or $209.8 million (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.9 million), bearing an interest rate of 2.64%. There were no outstanding revolver borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement as of August 31, 2016.
Other long-term debt:
We have outstanding borrowings with our glass production plant joint venture partner, Owens-Illinois, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2016, in accordance with our consolidation of this variable interest entity. These borrowings have a maturity date of December 2064 with both a fixed and variable interest rate component. The variable interest rate is based upon certain performance measures as defined in the contractual agreement. As of August 31, 2016, amounts outstanding under the contractual agreement were $158.5 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%.
Accounts receivable securitization facilities:
On September 28, 2015, we amended our prior trade accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended, the “CBI Facility”) for an additional 364-day term. Under the CBI Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by us and certain of our subsidiaries are sold by us to a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary, the CBI SPV, which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. The CBI Facility provides borrowing capacity of $235.0 million up to $330.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of our business, subject to further limitations based upon various pre-agreed formulas.
Also, on September 28, 2015, Crown Imports amended its prior trade accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended, the “Crown Facility”) for an additional 364-day term. Under the Crown Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by Crown Imports are sold by Crown Imports to its wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary, the Crown SPV, which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. The Crown Facility provides borrowing capacity of $100.0 million up to $190.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of Crown Imports’ business.

(in millions) | ||||||||||
CBI Facility | $ | — | — | % | $ | 300.0 | ||||
Crown Facility | $ | 70.0 | 1.5 | % | $ | 105.0 |
On September 27, 2016, our existing accounts receivable securitization facilities were amended, resulting in the extension of each facility for an additional 364-day term. In addition, the newly amended CBI Facility provides borrowing capacity of $235.0 million up to $340.0 million and the newly amended Crown Facility provides borrowing capacity of $120.0 million up to $210.0 million. The remaining provisions of the amended facilities are substantially identical in all material respects to the prior facilities.
8. INCOME TAXES:
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, was 31.8% and 27.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, was 31.7% and 24.2%, respectively.
Our effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016, were lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. Our effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2015, were lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to decreases in uncertain tax positions and lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.
During the three months ended August 31, 2015, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concluded its examination of our fiscal years ended February 28, 2010, and February 28, 2011. We received a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) from the IRS proposing tax assessments for those years. We disagree with certain assessments in this report and have submitted a written protest stating our formal disagreement with the conclusions presented in the RAR. We believe that our position will be successfully sustained.
9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
In April 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2013 Authorization”). The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2013 Authorization have become treasury shares.
For the six months ended August 31, 2016, we repurchased 34,500 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2013 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $5.5 million through open market transactions. Additionally, we entered into a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 effective for repurchases on and after August 31, 2016, through October 7, 2016. Subsequent to August 31, 2016, we repurchased 133,311 shares of Class A Common Stock at an aggregate cost of $21.9 million through open market transactions.
As of October 5, 2016, total shares repurchased under the 2013 Authorization are as follows:

10. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI:
For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, net income per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock has been computed using the if-converted method and assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock as this method is more dilutive than the two-class method. For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, net income per common share – diluted for Class B Convertible Common Stock has been computed using the two-class method and does not assume conversion of Class B Convertible Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

12. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The following information sets forth the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of August 31, 2016, and February 29, 2016, the condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, for the parent company, our combined subsidiaries which guarantee our senior notes (“Subsidiary Guarantors”), our combined subsidiaries which are not Subsidiary Guarantors (primarily foreign subsidiaries) (“Subsidiary Nonguarantors”) and the Company. The Subsidiary Guarantors are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the parent company and the guarantees are joint and several obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The guarantees are full and unconditional, as those terms are used in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, except that a Subsidiary Guarantor can be automatically released and relieved of its obligations under certain
18
customary circumstances contained in the indentures governing our senior notes. These customary circumstances include, so long as other applicable provisions of the indentures are adhered to, the termination or release of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of other indebtedness or upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of our senior notes. Separate financial information for our Subsidiary Guarantors is not presented because we have determined that such financial information would not be material to investors. The accounting policies of the parent company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary Nonguarantors are the same as those described for the Company in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report. There are no restrictions on the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.

13. 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 and craft beer brands. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to import, market and sell in the U.S. our Mexican beer portfolio. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a large number of wine brands across all categories – table wine, sparkling wine and dessert wine – and across all price points – popular, premium and luxury categories, primarily within the $5 to $25 price range at U.S. retail – complemented by certain premium spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal, public relations and information technology. The amounts 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
24
reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our chief operating decision maker’s evaluation of the operating income 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.
In addition, management excludes items that affect comparability (“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 segment management compensation are evaluated based upon core segment operating income (loss). As such, the performance measures for incentive compensation purposes for segment management do not include the impact of these items.
We evaluate segment operating performance based on operating income (loss) of the respective business units. Comparable Adjustments that impacted comparability in our segment operating income (loss) for each period are as follows:

14. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED:
Revenue recognition –
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A five step process will be utilized to recognize revenue, as follows: (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We are required to adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2018,
26
utilizing one of two methods: retrospective restatement for each reporting period presented at time of adoption, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We are currently assessing the financial impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Leases –
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for leases. Under this guidance, a lessee will recognize assets and liabilities for most leases, but will recognize expense similar to current lease accounting guidance. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. We are required to adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the financial impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Stock compensation –
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payment transactions. The guidance requires, among other things, the recognition of the income tax effect of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thereby eliminating the recording of the income tax effect in additional paid-in capital. The guidance also requires cash flows from excess tax benefits along with other income tax cash flows to be classified as cash flows from operating activities. We are required to adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginning March 1, 2017. We are currently assessing the financial impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
High West –
In September 2016, we signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred membership interests of High West Holdings, LLC, for approximately $160 million, subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments (“High West”). The acquisition includes a portfolio of high-end craft whiskeys and other select spirits offerings. The transaction is expected to close by the end of October. The results of operations of High West will be reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and will be included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

27
Overview
We are a leading international beverage alcohol company with a broad portfolio of consumer-preferred high-end imported and craft beer brands, premium wine and spirits brands, and other select beverage alcohol products. We are the third-largest producer and marketer of beer for the U.S. market and the world’s leading premium wine company. We are the largest multi-category supplier (beer, wine and spirits) of beverage alcohol in the U.S., the leading producer and marketer of wine in Canada, and a leading supplier of wine from New Zealand and Italy to our core North American markets.
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 and craft beer brands. We have an exclusive perpetual brand license to import, market and sell in the U.S. our Mexican beer portfolio. In the Wine and Spirits segment, we sell a large number of wine brands across all categories – table wine, sparkling wine and dessert wine – and across all price points – popular, premium and luxury categories, primarily within the $5 to $25 price range at U.S. retail – complemented by certain premium spirits brands. Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of executive management, corporate development, corporate finance, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, legal, public relations and information technology. The amounts 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 chief operating decision maker’s evaluation of the operating income performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management and the structure of our internal financial reporting.
Strategy
Our business strategy in the Beer segment focuses on leading the high-end of the U.S. beer market. In connection with this strategy, we completed the expansion of our brewery located in Nava, Coahuila, Mexico (the “Nava Brewery”) from 10 million hectoliters production capacity to 20 million hectoliters production capacity in June 2016. In addition, our business strategy includes:
• | continued focus on growing our Mexican beer portfolio in the U.S. through expanding distribution for key brands, as well as new product development and innovation within the existing portfolio of brands; |
• | completion of an additional 7.5 million hectoliters production capacity expansion of the Nava Brewery, from 20 million to 25 million by summer of calendar 2017 and from 25 million to 27.5 million by early calendar 2018; |
• | construction of a new, state-of-the-art brewery located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico (the “Mexicali Brewery”); and |
• | participation in the fast-growing craft beer category. |
Our business strategy in the Wine and Spirits segment is centered on continued focus on consumer-preferred premium wine brands, complemented by premium spirits. In this segment, we continue to focus on the premiumization of our branded wine and spirits portfolio (see “Recent Development” below). In markets where it is feasible, we have a consolidated U.S. distribution network in order to obtain dedicated distributor selling resources which focus on our U.S. wine and spirits portfolio to drive organic growth. This consolidated U.S. distribution network currently represents about 70% of our branded wine and spirits volume in the U.S. Throughout the terms of these contracts, we generally expect shipments on an annual basis to these distributors to essentially equal the distributors’ shipments to retailers. In addition, we dedicate a large share of our sales and marketing resources to some of our well-known wine and spirits brands sold in the U.S., which comprise our U.S. Focus Brands (“Focus Brands”), as they represent a majority of our U.S. wine and spirits revenue and profitability, and generally have strong positions in their respective price categories. These brands include: Black Box, Clos du Bois,
28
Estancia, Franciscan Estate, Inniskillin, Kim Crawford, Mark West, Meiomi, Mount Veeder, Nobilo, Robert Mondavi, Ruffino, Saved, Simi, SVEDKA Vodka, The Dreaming Tree, The Prisoner Brands and Wild Horse.
Marketing, sales and distribution of our products are managed on a geographic basis in order to fully leverage leading market positions. In addition, market dynamics and consumer trends vary across each of our markets. Within our primary market in the U.S., we offer a range of beverage alcohol products across the imported beer, craft beer, branded wine and spirits categories, with separate distribution networks utilized for our imported and craft beer portfolio and our wine and spirits portfolio. Within our next largest market, Canada, we offer a range of beverage alcohol products primarily across the branded wine category. 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 achieve earnings per share growth, reduce borrowings and pay quarterly cash dividends.
Recent Development
High West
In September 2016, we signed a definitive agreement and plan of merger to acquire High West for approximately $160 million, subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments. The acquisition includes a portfolio of high-end craft whiskeys and other select spirits offerings. The transaction is expected to close by the end of October. The results of operations of High West will be reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and will be included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Potential Canadian Wine Business Initial Public Offering
In April 2016, we announced our plan to evaluate the merits of executing an initial public offering for a portion of our Canadian wine business in order to create better visibility to this business and additional capital to develop higher growth, higher margin opportunities across our businesses. A decision regarding whether to pursue a potential initial public offering is expected to be made during calendar 2016.
Acquisitions
Wine and Spirits Segment
Prisoner Acquisition
In April 2016, we acquired Prisoner, which primarily included the acquisition of trademarks, related inventories and certain grape supply contracts. This acquisition, which includes a portfolio of five fast-growing, higher-margin, super-luxury wine brands, aligns with our portfolio premiumization strategy and strengthens our position in the super-luxury wine category. The results of operations of Prisoner are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Meiomi Acquisition
In August 2015, we acquired Meiomi, which primarily included the acquisition of the trademark, related inventories and certain grape supply contracts. The acquisition of this higher-margin, luxury growth brand has complemented our existing portfolio and further strengthened our position in the U.S. pinot noir category. The results of operations of Meiomi are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
29
Beer Segment
Ballast Point Acquisition
In December 2015, we acquired Ballast Point for $998.5 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill, trademarks and property, plant and equipment. This acquisition provides us with a high-growth premium platform that enables us to compete in the fast-growing craft beer category, further strengthening our position in the high-end U.S. beer market. The results of operations of Ballast Point are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Results of Operations
Financial Highlights
References to organic throughout the following discussion exclude the impact of acquired brand activity in connection with the acquisitions of Prisoner and Meiomi (wine), and the acquisition of Ballast Point (beer), as appropriate.
For the three months ended August 31, 2016 (“Second Quarter 2017”), and August 31, 2015 (“Second Quarter 2016”):
• | Our results of operations benefited from improvements in both the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments. |
• | Net sales increased 17% primarily due to strong consumer demand within the Mexican beer portfolio, organic volume growth within our branded wine and spirits portfolio and net sales from the acquired Ballast Point and Meiomi brands. |
• | Operating income increased 27% primarily due to the strong consumer demand and the favorable impact from pricing in select markets within the Mexican beer portfolio and organic branded wine and spirits growth. |
• | Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI increased 19% and 17%, respectively, primarily due to the items discussed above, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes. |
For the six months ended August 31, 2016 (“Six Months 2017”), and August 31, 2015 (“Six Months 2016”):
• | Our results of operations benefited from improvements in both the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments. |
• | Net sales increased 16% primarily due to strong consumer demand within the Mexican beer portfolio, net sales from the acquired Ballast Point and Meiomi brands, and organic volume growth within our branded wine portfolio. |
• | Operating income increased 28% primarily due to the strong consumer demand and the favorable impact from pricing in select markets within the Mexican beer portfolio, benefits from the acquisitions of Ballast Point, Meiomi and Prisoner, and lower Comparable Adjustments. |
• | Net income attributable to CBI and diluted net income per common share attributable to CBI increased 25% and 24%, respectively, primarily due to the items discussed above and lower growth in interest expense as compared with growth in operating income, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes. |
30
Comparable Adjustments
Management excludes items that affect comparability from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these Comparable Adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and segment management compensation are evaluated based on core segment operating income (loss).

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.
Inventory Step-Up
In connection with acquisitions, the allocation of purchase price in excess of book value for certain inventory 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 company prior to acquisition. Flow through of inventory step-up was associated with the Meiomi and Prisoner acquisitions.
31
Favorable Interim Supply Agreement
In connection with the June 2013 acquisition of the beer business, a temporary supply agreement was negotiated under a favorable pricing arrangement for the required volume of beer needed to fulfill expected U.S. demand in excess of the Nava Brewery’s capacity. Amortization of favorable interim supply agreement reflects amounts associated with non-Nava Brewery product purchased from the date of acquisition which has been sold to our U.S. customers during the respective period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Costs Associated With A Potential Initial Public Offering
Costs associated with a potential initial public offering represent costs incurred in connection with our continuing evaluation of the merits of executing an initial public offering for a portion of our Canadian wine business.
Transaction, Integration And Other Acquisition-Related Costs
Transaction, integration and other acquisition-related costs primarily represent costs associated with the continuing integration of the June 2013 beer business and the December 2014 glass production plant acquisitions.
Restructuring And Related Charges
Restructuring and related charges consist primarily of employee termination benefit costs recognized in connection with our plan initiated in May 2015 to streamline and simplify processes, and shift resources and investment to long-term, profitable growth opportunities across the business.

The increase in Wine and Spirits’ net sales is primarily due to (i) organic branded wine and spirits volume growth, (ii) net sales from the acquired Meiomi and Prisoner brands of $26.0 million and (iii) favorable product mix shift (predominantly within the U.S. organic branded wine portfolio).
For Second Quarter 2017, U.S. shipment volume growth has outpaced depletion volume growth primarily due to timing of shipments. Accordingly, shipment volume growth is expected to lag depletion volume growth in the last half of fiscal 2017 as we expect U.S. shipment volume growth to be generally aligned with depletion volume growth for Fiscal 2017.

Consolidated gross profit | $ | 969.0 | $ | 775.6 | 25 | % |
Gross profit increased $193.4 million due to an increase in Beer of $122.3 million and Wine and Spirits of $58.4 million, combined with a decrease in Comparable Adjustments of $12.7 million. The increase in Beer is primarily due to (i) the volume growth and the favorable impact from pricing in select markets within our Mexican beer portfolio, (ii) gross profit from the acquired Ballast Point brand and (iii) lower cost of product sold for our organic beer business. The lower cost of product sold is primarily due to lower freight costs and a favorable impact from foreign currency, partially offset by higher depreciation expense. The increase in Wine and Spirits is primarily due to growth from the organic wine and spirits business, including (i) the branded wine and spirits volume growth, (ii) the favorable product mix shift and (iii) lower cost of product sold; combined with gross profit from the acquired Meiomi and Prisoner brands.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 47.9% for Second Quarter 2017 compared with 44.7% for Second Quarter 2016 primarily due to (i) lower cost of product sold across both segments, (ii) the favorable impact from Beer pricing in select markets and (iii) the decrease in Comparable Adjustments.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 358.1 | $ | 296.2 | 21 | % |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $61.9 million primarily due to increases in Wine and Spirits of $28.6 million, Beer of $27.5 million and Corporate Operations and Other of $5.3 million.
The increase in Wine and Spirits is primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses of $19.1 million and marketing spend of $9.7 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses is predominantly driven by higher compensation and benefits supporting the organic growth of the business and an overlap of prior year foreign currency transaction gains with current year foreign currency transaction losses. The increase in marketing spend is due largely to planned investment to support the growth of our branded wine and spirits portfolio.
The increase in Beer is primarily due to increases in marketing spend of $14.6 million and general and administrative expenses of $12.9 million. The increase in marketing spend is due largely to planned investment to support the growth of our Mexican beer portfolio. The increase in general and administrative expenses is predominantly driven by (i) higher compensation and benefits supporting the organic growth of the business and (ii) the acquired Ballast Point business.
34
The increase in Corporate Operations and Other is due to higher general and administrative expenses largely attributable to (i) an overlap of prior year foreign currency transaction gains with current year foreign currency transaction losses and (ii) increased consulting and compensation and benefits primarily supporting the growth of the business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 17.7% for Second Quarter 2017 as compared with 17.1% for Second Quarter 2016 primarily due to the growth of Wine and Spirits’ selling, general and administrative expenses exceeding the growth in net sales for the Wine and Spirits segment.

Operating income increased $131.5 million primarily due to the growth in our Beer and Wine and Spirits segments due largely to the factors discussed above. In addition, the decrease in Comparable Adjustments contributed to an increase in operating income of $12.2 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $94.1 million for Second Quarter 2017 from $77.3 million for Second Quarter 2016, an increase of $16.8 million, or 22%. This increase was primarily due to higher average borrowings in connection with the issuance of the December 2015 senior notes, the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Ballast Point. In addition, interest expense increased in connection with the conversion of noncontrolling equity interest to long-term debt associated with our glass production plant joint venture (refer to Notes 1 and 7 of the Financial Statements).
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for Second Quarter 2017 and Second Quarter 2016 was 31.7% and 24.2%, respectively. For Second Quarter 2017, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. For Second Quarter 2016, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to a decrease in uncertain tax positions and lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.
We continue to expect our effective tax rate for Fiscal 2017 to be in the range of 28% to 31%. The lower end of our range currently reflects our expectation that certain factors may be resolved later in Fiscal 2017 which will allow us to assert our intent that certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested.
Net Income Attributable to CBI
As a result of the above factors, net income attributable to CBI increased to $358.9 million for Second Quarter 2017 from $302.4 million for Second Quarter 2016, an increase of $56.5 million, or 19%.

The increase in Beer is primarily due to increases in general and administrative expenses of $29.4 million and marketing spend of $22.6 million. The increase in general and administrative expenses is predominantly driven by the acquired Ballast Point business and higher compensation and benefits supporting the organic growth of the business. The increase in marketing spend is due largely to planned investment to support the growth of our Mexican beer portfolio.

Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our ability to consistently generate cash flow from operating activities is one of our most significant financial strengths. Our strong cash flows enable us to invest in our people and our brands, make appropriate capital investments, provide a quarterly cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock and make strategic acquisitions that we believe will enhance stockholder value. Our primary source
39
of liquidity has been cash flow from operating activities. Our principal use of cash in our operating activities is for purchasing and carrying inventories and carrying seasonal accounts receivable. Historically, we have used cash flow from operating activities to repay our short-term borrowings and fund capital expenditures. We will continue to use our short-term borrowings, including our accounts receivable securitization facilities, to support our working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
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 activities and financing activities, primarily short-term borrowings, will provide adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments and anticipated capital expenditure requirements for both our short-term and long-term capital needs, including (i) our Nava Brewery and glass production plant expansions and (ii) our Mexicali Brewery construction.
Senior Credit Facility
In March 2016, we entered into a Restatement Agreement that amended and restated our prior senior credit facility. Among other things, the Restatement Agreement created a new $700.0 million European Term A-1 loan facility maturing on March 10, 2021. Proceeds from borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement were used to refinance outstanding obligations under our prior senior credit facility and short-term borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facilities, and for other general corporate purposes.
For additional information with respect to this and other borrowings, refer to Note 7 of the Financial Statements.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $241.8 million for Six Months 2017 driven largely by strong cash flow from the Beer and Wine and Spirits segments. The increase in Beer was primarily due to strong volume growth and favorable pricing in the Mexican beer portfolio, partially offset by (i) an increase in prepaid value-added taxes predominately attributable to timing and (ii) an increase in beer inventory levels to support the continuing growth within the Mexican beer portfolio. The increase in Wine and Spirits resulted primarily from (i) accounts receivable inflows from strong net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, (ii) an increase in distributor payments due largely to timing of receipt of payments in fiscal 2017 and (iii) inflows from lower inventory in connection with the strong Second Quarter 2017 net sales.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased $44.6 million for Six Months 2017. This increase resulted primarily from additional purchases of property plant and equipment for Six Months 2017 driven largely by the Nava Brewery and glass production plant expansions and Mexicali Brewery construction. This increase was partially offset by the slightly lower purchase price for the April 2016 acquisition of Prisoner as compared with the August 2015 acquisition of Meiomi.
40
In connection with a shift in the timing of spend associated with our Nava Brewery expansion activities, we have revised our planned capital expenditures for Fiscal 2017 to be in the range of $1.125 billion to $1.225 billion, including from $1.025 billion to $1.125 billion for the Beer Segment associated primarily with (i) the Nava Brewery and the adjacent glass plant facility expansions and (ii) the Mexicali Brewery build.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased $326.3 million for Six Months 2017 primarily from the following:
• | Six Months 2017 principal payments of long-term debt for the repayment of the August 2006 Senior Notes of $700.0 million; |
• | Six Months 2017 net repayments of notes payable of $295.8 million compared with Six Months 2016 net repayments of notes payable of $18.5 million; |
• | Increased quarterly cash dividend payments; and |
• | Increased payments of minimum tax withholdings on stock-based payment awards; |
partially offset by:
• | Six Months 2017 proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $700.0 million from term loan borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement (used to refinance borrowings under our prior senior credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facilities, and for other general corporate purposes); |
• | Six Months 2017 proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of C$275.0 million ($214.1 million at issuance) from term loan borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement (used for general corporate purposes); compared with |
• | Six Months 2016 proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $200.0 million from term loan borrowings under our prior senior credit facility (used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Meiomi). |
Debt
Total debt outstanding as of August 31, 2016, amounted to $8,029.0 million, a decrease of $52.2 million from February 29, 2016. This decrease was due largely to the repayment of the August 2006 Senior Notes and the net repayments of notes payable, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of the European Term A-1 loan borrowings under the 2016 Credit Agreement.
The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of August 31, 2016, consisted of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from calendar 2017 to calendar 2025, and variable-rate senior secured term loan facilities under our 2016 Credit Agreement, with maturities ranging from calendar 2020 to calendar 2021.
We had the following borrowing capacity available under our 2016 Credit Agreement and our accounts receivable securitization facilities:
Remaining Borrowing Capacity | |||||||
August 31, 2016 | September 30, 2016 | ||||||
(in millions) | |||||||
Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 1,133.2 | $ | 1,133.2 | |||
CBI Facility | $ | 300.0 | $ | 300.0 | |||
Crown Facility | $ | 105.0 | $ | 22.0 |
The financial institutions participating in our 2016 Credit Agreement and our accounts receivable securitization facilities have complied with all prior funding requests and we believe such financial institutions will
41
comply with any future funding requests. However, there can be no assurances that any particular financial institution will continue to do so.
As of August 31, 2016, we also have additional credit arrangements totaling $807.2 million, with $461.6 million outstanding under these arrangements. These arrangements primarily support the financing needs of our domestic and foreign subsidiary operations, as well as our glass production plant joint venture.
We have entered into various interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to the volatility of the interest rates associated with our variable-rate senior secured term loan facilities. As a result of these hedges, we have fixed our interest rates on $250.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt at an average rate of 1.1% (exclusive of borrowing margins) through July 1, 2020.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2016 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees of indebtedness), additional liens, mergers and consolidations, the payment of dividends, the making of certain investments, prepayments of certain debt, transactions with affiliates, agreements that restrict our non-guarantor subsidiaries from paying dividends, and dispositions of property, 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 debt coverage ratio, both as defined in the 2016 Credit Agreement. As of August 31, 2016, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net debt coverage ratio was 5.5x.
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 August 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under both our 2016 Credit Agreement and our indentures, and have met all debt payment obligations.
For a complete discussion and presentation of all borrowings and available sources of borrowing, refer to Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and Note 7 of the Financial Statements included herein.
Common Stock Dividends
On October 4, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of Class A Common Stock, $0.36 per share of Class B Convertible Common Stock and $0.36 per share of Class 1 Common Stock payable on November 22, 2016, to stockholders of record of each class on November 8, 2016.
We currently expect to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock in the future, but such payments are subject to approval of our Board of Directors and are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2016 Annual Report.
Share Repurchase Program
Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock under the 2013 Authorization. Shares repurchased under this authorization have become treasury shares.
As of October 5, 2016, total shares repurchased under this authorization are as follows:
42
Class A Common Shares | |||||||||
Repurchase Authorization | Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased | Number of Shares Repurchased | |||||||
(in millions, except share data) | |||||||||
2013 Authorization | $ | 1,000.0 | $ | 357.9 | 14,437,939 |
Share repurchases under the 2013 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 under the accounts receivable securitization facilities or proceeds from revolver borrowings under our senior credit facility. Any repurchased shares will become treasury shares.
For additional information, refer to Note 14 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and Note 9 of the Financial Statements included herein.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation (I) the statements under Part I – Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding (i) our business strategy, future financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management, (ii) information concerning expected or potential actions of third parties, (iii) timing and source of funds for operating activities, (iv) the duration of the share repurchase program and source of funds for share repurchases, and (v) the amount and timing of future dividends, (II) the statements regarding our Mexicali Brewery construction and the expansions of our Nava Brewery and our glass production plant, including anticipated costs and timeframes for completion, (III) the statements regarding the acquisition of High West Holdings, LLC, and (IV) the statements regarding a decision whether to pursue an initial public offering for a portion of our Canadian wine business are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations and conditions in the general economy and markets in which we compete, our forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are also subject to the risk and uncertainty that (i) the actual demand for our products will vary from current expectations due to, among other reasons, actual shipments to distributors and actual consumer demand, (ii) the amount and timing of and source of funds for any share repurchases may vary due to market conditions, our cash and debt position, the impact of the acquisition of the beer business, Mexicali Brewery construction and Nava Brewery and glass production plant expansions, and other factors as determined by management from time to time, (iii) the amount and timing of future dividends may differ
43
from our current expectations if our ability to use cash flow to fund dividends is affected by unanticipated increases in total net debt, we are unable to generate cash flow at anticipated levels, or we fail to generate expected earnings, (iv) the timeframe and actual costs associated with the Mexicali Brewery construction and the expansions of our Nava Brewery and our glass production plant may vary from management’s current expectations due to market conditions, our cash and debt position, receipt of all required permits and regulatory approvals by the expected dates and on the expected terms, and other factors as determined by management, (v) the acquisition of High West Holdings, LLC is subject to regulatory approvals and certain closing conditions, and (vi) the decision whether to pursue an initial public offering of a portion of our Canadian wine business is subject to the determination and discretion of the Company. For additional information about risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our forward-looking statements, please refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2016 Annual Report.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
As a result of our global operating, acquisition 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 agreements and interest rate swap agreements. 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 acquisitions or joint venture investments outside the U.S. As of August 31, 2016, we had exposures to foreign currency risk primarily related to the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar and euro. Approximately 69% of our balance sheet exposures and forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining six months of fiscal 2017 were hedged as of August 31, 2016.
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 August 31, 2016, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging primarily include diesel fuel, heating oil, corn and aluminum prices. Approximately 74% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining six months of fiscal 2017 were hedged as of August 31, 2016.
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. Losses or gains from the revaluation or settlement of the related underlying positions would substantially offset such gains or losses on the derivative instruments. The aggregate notional value, estimated fair value and sensitivity analysis for our open foreign currency and commodity derivative instruments are summarized as follows:
Aggregate Notional Value | Fair Value, Net Liability | Increase in Fair Value – Hypothetical 10% Adverse Change | |||||||||||||||||||||
August 31, 2016 | August 31, 2015 | August 31, 2016 | August 31, 2015 | August 31, 2016 | August 31, 2015 | ||||||||||||||||||

Interest Rate Risk
The estimated fair value of our fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk. In addition, we also have variable interest rate debt outstanding (primarily LIBOR-based), certain of which includes a fixed margin subject to the same risks identified for our fixed interest rate debt.
As of August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, we had outstanding cash flow designated interest rate swap agreements which fixed LIBOR interest rates (to minimize interest rate volatility) on $750.0 million and $500.0 million, respectively, of our floating LIBOR rate debt. In addition, as of August 31, 2016, and August 31, 2015, we had outstanding offsetting undesignated interest rate swap agreements.
We have performed a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk of interest rates reflecting the impact of a hypothetical 1% increase in the prevailing interest rates. The volatility of the applicable rates is dependent on many factors which cannot be forecasted with reliable accuracy. The aggregate notional value, estimated fair value and sensitivity analysis for our outstanding fixed and variable interest rate debt, including current maturities, and open interest rate derivative instruments are summarized as follows:
Aggregate Notional Value | Fair Value, Net Liability | Decrease in Fair Value – Hypothetical 1% Rate Increase | |||||||||||||||||||||

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the foregoing evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, no changes were identified in the Company’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As previously reported, an action had been filed by private parties against the Company, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“ABI”), and Grupo Modelo, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Modelo”) alleging certain antitrust claims and seeking to enjoin the proposed transaction between ABI and Modelo. On June 4, 2013, the United States District Court of the Northern District of California (“Northern District”) denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and the transaction between ABI and Modelo was consummated on June 7, 2013. Plaintiffs’ Second Amended and Supplemental Complaint was filed June 25, 2013, and dismissed by the Northern District on September 13, 2013, and the district judge denied Plaintiffs’ other procedural motions. Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Relief from Judgment Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) or 60(b), or in the alternative, Rule 60(d) on November 11, 2013 and the Motion was denied by the Northern District on January 24, 2014. Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal on February 21, 2014. Plaintiffs, now Appellants, filed their opening brief on August 29, 2014, and the Company and ABI/Modelo filed their answering briefs on October 29, 2014. Appellants’ reply brief was filed January 21, 2015. Oral argument was conducted before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on March 15, 2016. On April 4, 2016, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the Northern District’s dismissal of the Complaint without leave to amend and affirmed that the Northern District was within its discretion to deny Plaintiffs’ motion. On April 18, 2016, the Ninth Circuit approved Appellants’ motion to extend the date by which Appellants must file any petition for rehearing and/or rehearing en banc and ordered that any petition be filed on or before May 4, 2016. As previously reported on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2016, Appellants filed on May 4, 2016, their petition for rehearing with a suggestion for rehearing en banc. On August 30, 2016, Appellants petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States (the “U.S. Supreme Court”) for a Writ of Certiorari, which the U.S. Supreme Court denied on October 3, 2016. Consequently, the decision of the Ninth Circuit, affirming the Northern District’s dismissal of the Complaint, remains unchanged.
