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 2022 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:

In-process inventories851.6 804.8 
Finished case goods574.4 583.1 
$1,651.0 $1,573.2 

We assess the valuation of our inventories and reduce the carrying value of those inventories that are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on analyses and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical usage, future demand, and market requirements. We evaluated the carrying value of certain inventories and recognized the following in cost of product sold within our consolidated results of operations:

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 2022 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022.

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 7). This investment is

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 4).

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

Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign currency contracts$720.5 $497.6 
Commodity derivative contracts$328.9 $291.1 

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, 2022, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $17.9 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2022, we would have had sufficient available liquidity on hand to satisfy this obligation.

4.    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).

Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2023 Form 10-Q
#WORTHREACHINGFOR    I    10

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Interest rate swap and Pre-issuance hedge contracts
The fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices from respective counterparties. Quotes are corroborated by using discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yield curves, which are obtained from independent pricing services (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.

(1)The exercise price for the Tranche C Warrants is based on the VWAP Exercise Price. The Tranche C Warrants are not included in the table as there is no fair value assigned.
(2)In connection with the Acreage Transaction, we obtained other rights which include a share repurchase credit. If Canopy has not purchased the lesser of 27,378,866 Canopy common shares, or C$1,583.0 million worth of Canopy common shares for cancellation between April 18, 2019, and two-years after the full exercise of the Tranche A Warrants, we will be credited an amount that will reduce the aggregate exercise price otherwise payable upon each exercise of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants. The credit will be an amount equal to the difference between C$1,583.0 million and the actual price paid by Canopy in purchasing its common shares for cancellation. The likelihood of receiving the share repurchase credit if we were to fully exercise the Tranche A Warrants is remote, therefore, no fair value has been assigned.
(3)The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Level 2 fair value measurement).
(4)The fair value is estimated using Monte Carlo simulations (Level 2 fair value measurement).
(5)Based on the exercise price from the applicable underlying agreements.
(6)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common shares on the TSX as of the applicable date.
(7)Based on the expiration date of the warrants.
(8)Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security and limited consideration of historical peer group volatility levels.
(9)Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expiration date of the applicable warrants.
(10)Based on historical dividend levels.

Debt securities We have elected the fair value option to account for the Canopy Debt Securities. 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 settled prior to maturity by either party upon the occurrence of certain events. 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. For additional information on the Canopy Debt Securities refer to Note 7.

In June 2022, the Canopy Debt Securities were amended to remove Canopy’s right to settle the Canopy Debt Securities on conversion into Canopy common shares. As a result, the Canopy Debt Securities may only be settled in cash. Prior to the June 2022 amendment, the Canopy Debt Securities could be settled, at Canopy’s option, in cash, Canopy common shares, or a combination thereof.
(2)Based on the closing market price for Canopy common shares on the TSX as of the applicable date.
(3)Based on the contractual maturity date of the notes.
(4)Based on consideration of historical and/or implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security, adjusted for certain risks associated with debt securities, as appropriate.
(5)Based on the implied yield currently available on Canadian Treasury zero coupon issues with a term equal to the remaining contractual term of the Canopy Debt Securities.
(6)Based on historical dividend levels.

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

Long-term debt
The term loans under our term loan credit agreements are variable interest rate bearing notes with a fixed margin, adjustable based upon our debt rating. The carrying values approximate the fair value of the term loans. 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 August 31, 2022, and February 28, 2022, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As of August 31, 2022, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,286.3 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $9,609.1 million. As of February 28, 2022, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $10,093.5 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,345.3 million.

Long-lived assets$— $— $20.0 $665.9 

Equity method investments
As of August 31, 2022, we evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the period of time for which the fair value had been less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recording a significant impairment of goodwill related to its cannabis operations during its three months ended June 30, 2022, and (iii) the uncertainty of U.S. federal cannabis permissibility. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a carrying value of $1,695.1 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $634.8 million, resulting in an impairment of $1,060.3 million. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of August 31, 2022. There may be a future impairment of our Canopy Equity Method Investment if our expectations about Canopy’s prospective results and cash flows decline, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including adverse market conditions or if Canopy records another significant impairment of goodwill or intangible or other long-lived assets, makes significant asset sales, or has changes in senior management.

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 six months ended August 31, 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. In April 2022, we announced that, with the assistance of the Mexican government and state and local officials in Mexico, we acquired land in Veracruz for the construction of the Veracruz Brewery where there is ample water and we will have a skilled workforce to meet our long-term needs. The design and development process for the Veracruz Brewery is underway. We continue to work with government officials in Mexico to (i) determine next steps for our canceled Mexicali Brewery construction project and (ii) pursue various forms of recovery for capitalized costs and additional expenses incurred in establishing the brewery, however, there can be no assurance of any recoveries. In the medium-term, under normal operating conditions, we have ample capacity at the Nava and Obregon breweries to meet consumer needs based on current growth forecasts and current and planned production capabilities. Expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue at our current brewery locations under our Mexico Beer Projects to align with our anticipated future growth expectations.

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 is determined by recording the effect of basis differences. Amounts included in our consolidated results of operations for each period are as follows:
For the Six Months
Ended August 31,
For the Three Months
Ended August 31,
2022202120222021
(in millions)
Equity in earnings (losses) from Canopy and related activities (1)
$(815.7)$(35.3)$(650.7)$120.5 
(1)Includes a $460.8 million goodwill impairment related to Canopy’s cannabis operations for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022.

We evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of August 31, 2022, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the period of time for which the fair value had been less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recording a significant impairment of goodwill related to its cannabis operations during its three months ended June 30, 2022, and (iii) the uncertainty of U.S. federal cannabis permissibility.

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, and the Acreage Financial Instrument (a call option for Canopy to acquire 70% of the shares of Acreage at a fixed exchange ratio and 30% at a floating exchange ratio). As of August 31, 2022, 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.

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 June 2022 and January through June 2021 in our six months ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, results, respectively. We recognized our share of Canopy’s earnings (losses) for the periods April through June 2022 and April through June 2021 in our three months ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, results, respectively. The six months and three months ended August 31, 2022, includes a goodwill impairment related to Canopy’s cannabis operations. The six months ended August 31, 2022, also includes substantial costs designed to drive efficiency and accelerate Canopy’s path to profitability. The amounts shown represent 100% of Canopy’s reported results of operations for the respective periods.

In April 2022, the Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into the 2022 Restatement Agreement that amended and restated our then-existing senior credit facility (as amended and restated by the 2022 Restatement Agreement, the 2022 Credit Agreement). The principal changes effected by the 2022 Restatement Agreement were:

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

Term loan credit agreements
In April 2022, the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Lender amended the June 2021 Term Credit Agreement (as amended, the April 2022 Term Credit Agreement). The principal changes effected by the amendment were the refinement of certain negative covenants and replacement of LIBOR rates with rates based on term SOFR.

In August 2022, the Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders entered into the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement. The August 2022 Term Credit Agreement provides for a $1.0 billion delayed single draw three-year term loan facility and is not subject to amortization payments, with the balance due and payable on the earliest of (i) three years after the funding date (as defined in the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement) and (ii) December 31, 2025. The proceeds, if drawn, from the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement will be used to partially fund the aggregate cash payment to holders of Class B Stock in connection with the Reclassification and to pay related fees as well as fees related to closing the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement.

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.

2022, we had $663.9 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 3.0% and a weighted average remaining term of 12 days.

Pre-issuance hedge contracts
In connection with the May 2022 Senior Notes, we entered into Pre-issuance hedge contracts, which were designated as cash flow hedges. As a result of these agreements, we hedged the treasury rate volatility on $300.0 million of future debt issuances. In May 2022, we terminated and settled all outstanding Pre-issuance hedge contracts, and recognized an unrealized gain, net of income tax effect, of $15.3 million in AOCI within our consolidated balance sheets. The gain on Pre-issuance hedge contracts is being amortized over 10 years to interest expense within our consolidated results of operations. See “Senior notes” below.

Senior notes

In February 2018, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2023. In May 2013, we issued $1,050.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due May 2023. In May 2022, we used a portion of the proceeds from the May 2022 Senior Notes to complete a series of cash tender offers to purchase the 3.20% February 2018 Senior Notes and the 4.25% May 2013 Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to the tender offers. We settled the tender offers with holders of approximately 67% and 65% of the total outstanding principal amount of the 3.20% February 2018 Senior Notes and the 4.25% May 2013 Senior Notes, respectively. Total cash consideration paid for these purchases was $1,096.0 million and the total carrying amount of the notes was $1,080.7 million, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.3 million (including an immaterial amount of fees and other costs associated with the tender offers), which is included within our consolidated results for the six months ended August 31, 2022. In addition, we paid any accrued interest on the tendered notes up to, but not including the date of settlement. In June 2022, we redeemed the remaining $198.2 million and $369.8 million outstanding principal balance of the 3.20% February 2018 Senior Notes and the 4.25% May 2013 Senior Notes, respectively. Total cash consideration paid was $575.5 million, which included the remaining principal amount of the notes of $568.0 million and a make-whole premium of $7.5 million which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, was (53.3)% and (15.3)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2022, and August 31, 2021, was (13.1)% and 91.7%, respectively.

For the six months and three months ended August 31, 2022, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by a net income tax benefit recognized from the realization of tax losses related to a prior period divestiture.

For the six months ended August 31, 2021, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (i) an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy and (ii) the impact of the long-lived asset impairment of brewery construction in progress.

For the three months ended August 31, 2021, our effective tax rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to our investment in Canopy, partially offset by the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

13.    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

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 does not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.

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