1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC 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 Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2021 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

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.    ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Acquisitions
My Favorite Neighbor
In November 2021, we acquired the remaining 65% ownership interest in My Favorite Neighbor, a super-luxury, DTC focused wine business. This transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill, trademarks, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. In addition, the My Favorite Neighbor transaction includes an earn-out over 10 years based on performance, with a 50% minimum guarantee due at the end of the earn-out

period. The results of operations of My Favorite Neighbor are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

We recognized a gain of $13.5 million for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2021, related to the remeasurement of our previously held 35% equity interest in My Favorite Neighbor to the acquisition-date fair value. This gain is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within our consolidated results of operations. See Note 8 for further discussion.

Copper & Kings
In September 2020, we acquired the remaining ownership interest in Copper & Kings. This acquisition included a collection of traditional and craft batch-distilled American brandies and other select spirits. The transaction primarily included the acquisition of inventory and property, plant, and equipment. The results of operations of Copper & Kings are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Empathy Wines
In June 2020, we acquired Empathy Wines, including the acquisition of a digitally-native wine brand which strengthened our position in the DTC and other eCommerce markets. This transaction primarily included the acquisition of goodwill, trademarks, and inventory. In addition, the purchase price for Empathy Wines includes an earn-out over five years based on performance. The results of operations of Empathy Wines are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Divestitures
Paul Masson Divestiture
On January 12, 2021, we sold the Paul Masson Grande Amber Brandy brand, related inventory, and interests in certain contracts. The cash proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

4.    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 2021 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2021.

We have an investment in certain equity securities and other rights which provide us with the option to purchase an additional ownership interest in the equity securities of Canopy (see Note 8). This investment is included in securities measured at fair value and is accounted for at fair value, with the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of this investment recognized in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments (see Note 5).

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

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 November 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $20.1 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on November 30, 2021, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

5.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Authoritative guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, including a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy includes three levels:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as volatility, interest rates, and yield curves that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Fair value methodology
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value for each class of our financial instruments:

Foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts
The fair value is estimated using market-based inputs, obtained from independent pricing services, entered into valuation models. These valuation models require various inputs, including contractual terms, market foreign exchange prices, market commodity prices, interest-rate yield curves, and currency volatilities, as applicable (Level 2 fair value measurement).

Canopy investment
Equity securities, WarrantsThe November 2018 Canopy Warrants consist of three tranches of warrants, including 88.5 million Tranche A Warrants expiring November 1, 2023, which are currently exercisable, 38.4 million Tranche B Warrants expiring November 1, 2026, and 12.8 million Tranche C Warrants expiring November 1, 2026.

(2)In connection with the Acreage Transaction, we obtained other rights which include a share repurchase credit. If Canopy has not purchased the lesser of 27,378,866 Canopy common shares, or C$1,583.0 million worth of Canopy common shares for cancellation between April 18, 2019, and two-years after the full exercise of the Tranche A Warrants, we will be credited an amount that will reduce the aggregate exercise price otherwise payable upon each exercise of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants. The credit will be an amount equal to the difference between C$1,583.0 million and the actual price paid by Canopy in purchasing its common shares for cancellation. The likelihood of receiving the share repurchase credit if we were to fully exercise the Tranche A Warrants is remote, therefore, no fair value has been assigned.
(3)The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement).
(4)The fair value is estimated using Monte Carlo simulations (Level 2 fair value measurement).
(5)Based on the exercise price from the applicable underlying agreements.
(6)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common stock on the TSX as of the applicable date.

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

Debt securities, ConvertibleWe have elected the fair value option to account for the Canopy Debt Securities acquired in June 2018 for C$200.0 million, or $150.5 million. Interest income on the Canopy Debt Securities is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognized separately from the changes in fair value in interest expense. The Canopy Debt Securities have a contractual maturity of five years from the date of issuance but may be converted prior to maturity by either party upon the occurrence of certain events. At settlement, the Canopy Debt Securities can be settled at the option of the issuer, in cash, equity shares of the issuer, or a combination thereof. The fair value is estimated using a binomial lattice option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement), which includes an estimate of the credit spread based on market spreads using bond data as of the valuation date.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Short-term borrowings
Our short-term borrowings consist of our commercial paper program and the revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement. 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.

Long-term debt
The term loan under our June 2021 Term Credit Agreement is a variable interest rate bearing note with a fixed margin, adjustable based upon our debt rating. The carrying value approximates the fair value of the term loan. The fair value of the remaining fixed interest rate long-term debt is estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 fair value measurement).

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value as of November 30, 2021, and February 28, 2021, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of November 30, 2021, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,089.5 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,995.5 million. As of February 28, 2021, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,442.3 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $11,580.9 million.

Long-lived assets
In April 2021, our Board of Directors authorized management to sell or abandon the Mexicali Brewery. Subsequently, management determined that we will be unable to use or repurpose certain assets at the Mexicali Brewery. Accordingly, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, long-lived assets with a carrying value of $685.9 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $20.0 million, resulting in an impairment of $665.9 million. This impairment was included in impairment of brewery construction in progress within our consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2021. Our estimate of fair value was determined based on the expected salvage value of the assets. The Mexicali Brewery is a component of the Beer segment. We continue to work with government officials in Mexico to (i) determine next steps for our suspended Mexicali Brewery construction project, (ii) pursue various forms of recovery for capitalized costs and additional expenses incurred in establishing the brewery, however, there can be no assurance of any recoveries, and (iii) explore options to add further capacity at other locations in Mexico, including the construction of the Southeast Mexico Brewery where there is ample water and a skilled workforce to meet our long-term needs. In the medium-term, under normal operating conditions, we have ample capacity at the Nava and Obregon breweries to meet consumer needs based on current growth forecasts and current and planned production capabilities. Expansion and optimization efforts continue at our current brewery locations under our Mexico Beer Projects to align with our anticipated future growth expectations.

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, in connection with the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and the Concentrate Business Divestiture, long-lived assets held for sale were written down to their estimated fair value, less cost to sell, resulting in a loss of $25.0 million. For the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, a reduction to the loss on long-lived assets held for sale of $22.0 million was recognized. Subsequently, for the third quarter of Fiscal 2021, primarily in connection with the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and the Concentrate Business Divestiture, long-lived

assets held for sale were written down to their estimated fair value, less costs to sell, resulting in a loss of $21.0 million. The long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying value of $736.4 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $712.4 million, less costs to sell, resulting in a total loss of $24.0 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2020. This loss was included in impairment of assets held for sale within our consolidated results of operations. These assets consisted primarily of goodwill, intangible assets, and certain winery and vineyard assets which had satisfied the conditions necessary to be classified as held for sale. Our estimated fair value was determined based on the expected proceeds primarily from the Wine and Spirits Divestitures and the Concentrate Business Divestiture as of November 30, 2020, excluding the contingent consideration, which we will recognize when it is determined to be realizable.

Canopy Equity Method Investment
We complement our beverage alcohol strategy with our investment in Canopy, a leading provider of medicinal and recreational cannabis products. Equity in earnings (losses) from the Canopy Equity Method Investment and related activities (see table below) include, among other items, restructuring and other strategic business development costs, the amortization of the fair value adjustments associated with the definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, and unrealized gains (losses) associated with changes in our Canopy ownership percentage resulting from periodic equity issuances made by Canopy. Amounts included in our consolidated results of operations for each period are as follows:

Canopy has various equity and convertible debt securities outstanding, including primarily equity awards granted to its employees, and options and warrants issued to various third parties, including our November 2018 Canopy Warrants, Canopy Debt Securities, and the Acreage Financial Instrument. As of November 30, 2021, the exercise and/or conversion of certain of these outstanding securities could have a significant effect on our share of Canopy’s reported earnings or losses and our ownership interest in Canopy.

We have evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of November 30, 2021, and determined that there was not an other-than-temporary-impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the period of time for which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (ii) an expectation that Canopy’s results will improve, (iii) an expectation that the Canopy stock price will recover in the near term, and (iv) our ability and intent to hold the investment until that recovery. We will continue to review the Canopy

There may be a future impairment of our Canopy Equity Method Investment if Canopy’s stock price does not recover in the near term or our expectations about Canopy’s prospective results and cash flows decline, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including adverse market conditions and the economic impact of COVID-19.

The following table presents summarized financial information for Canopy prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recognize our equity in earnings (losses) for Canopy on a two-month lag. Accordingly, we recognized our share of Canopy’s earnings (losses) for the periods January through September 2021 and January through September 2020 in our nine months ended November 30, 2021, and November 30, 2020, results, respectively.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2020 Credit Agreement and the June 2021 Term Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program
We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2020 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility. As of November 30, 2021, we had $243.0 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 0.3% and a weighted average remaining term of six days.

Senior notes
In July 2021, we issued $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% senior notes due August 2031. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $987.2 million. Interest on the 2.25% July 2021 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2022. The 2.25% July 2021 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to May 1, 2031, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment based on the present value of the future payments at the adjusted treasury rate, as defined in the applicable indenture, plus 15 basis points. On or after May 1, 2031, we may redeem the 2.25% July 2021 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2.25% July 2021 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

In May 2017, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.70% senior notes due May 2022. In November 2017, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.65% senior notes due November 2022. On August 25, 2021, we repaid the 2.70% May 2017 Senior Notes and 2.65% November 2017 Senior Notes with proceeds from the 2.25% July 2021 Senior Notes and cash on hand. These notes were redeemed prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a $26.6 million make-whole payment. The make-whole payment is included in loss on extinguishment of debt within our consolidated results.

11.    INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, and November 30, 2020, was (115.8)% and 20.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2021, and November 30, 2020, was 17.1% and 12.0%, respectively.

For the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2021, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (i) valuation allowances on the unrealized net loss from the changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and Canopy equity in earnings (losses), (ii) a benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, and (iii) recognition of a net income tax benefit from stock-based compensation award activity. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, our effective rate was also impacted by the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress.

For the nine months ended November 30, 2020, our effective tax rate approximated the federal statutory rate of 21% as the effective rate of tax benefit from our foreign businesses and the recognition of a net income tax benefit from stock-based compensation award activity was largely offset by the net income tax expense recognized on the unrealized net gain from the changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy.

For the three months ended November 30, 2020, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (i) the removal of valuation allowances due to the unrealized net gain from the changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy and (ii) lower effective tax rates from our foreign businesses.

For the nine months ended November 30, 2021, net income (loss) per common share – diluted for Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock have been computed using the two-class method. For the three months ended November 30, 2021, and for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2020, net income (loss) 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 three months ended November 30, 2021, and for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2020, net income (loss) 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.

15.    BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

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

In addition, management excludes Comparable Adjustments from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these Comparable Adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and the incentive compensation of segment management are evaluated based on core segment operating income (loss) which do not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.
