(unaudited)

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 2024 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Reclassification

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

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:


	August 31, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)
Raw materials and supplies	$	238.2	$	254.1
In-process inventories	1,121.4		1,096.0

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, 2024, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $21.0 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on August 31, 2024, we would have had sufficient 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, including a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy includes three levels:

•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 inputs include data points that are observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) such as volatility, interest rates, and yield curves that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Fair value methodology

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:

Foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts

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

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 fair value of our fixed interest rate long-term debt is estimated by discounting cash flows using interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 fair value measurement). As of August 31, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,088.3 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,516.2 million. As of February 29, 2024, the carrying amount of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $11,637.9 million, compared with an estimated fair value of $10,775.8 million.

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate fair value as of August 31, 2024, and February 29, 2024, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Goodwill

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

impairment. This assessment indicated that the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill impairment within our consolidated results for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2024. See Notes 5, 6, and 9 for further discussion.

When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment of goodwill, we measure the amount of impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on the discounted cash flow calculation. The most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow calculation were: (i) a 9% discount rate, (ii) a 1.5% expected long-term growth rate, and (iii) the annual cash flow projections. If there are adverse deviations from our expectations about our Wine and Spirits business or the macroeconomic environment, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including if broader industry and market conditions continue to decline and/or our expectations of future performance as reflected in our current strategic operating plans are not fully realized, a future impairment of the Wine and Spirits goodwill is reasonably possible.

Equity method investments

As of August 31, 2024, we evaluated an equity method investment, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment due to business underperformance. 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, 2024. The estimated fair value was based largely on the cash flows expected to be generated by the investment using unobservable data points.

As of August 31, 2023, we evaluated certain equity method investments, made through our corporate venture capital function, and determined there were other-than-temporary impairments due to business underperformance. Investments with a $14.9 million carrying value were written down to $2.6 million, their estimated fair value, resulting in a $12.3 million impairment. These investments are part of the Corporate Operations and Other segment. 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, 2023. The estimated fair value was based largely on observable prices for similar assets.

We evaluated the Canopy Equity Method Investment as of May 31, 2023, and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the fair value being less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy’s stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy recorded significant costs in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 results designed to align its Canadian cannabis operations and resources in response to continued unfavorable market trends, (iii) the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, and (iv) Canopy’s identification of material misstatements in certain of its previously reported financial results related to sales in its BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. reporting unit that were accounted for incorrectly, including the recording of a goodwill impairment during its restated second quarter of fiscal 2023. As a result, the Canopy Equity Method Investment with a $266.2 million carrying value was written down to $142.7 million, its estimated fair value, resulting in a $123.5 million impairment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for the six months ended August 31, 2023. The estimated fair value was determined based on the closing price of the underlying equity security as of May 31, 2023. We no longer apply the equity method to our investment in Canopy following the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares. See Note 7 for further discussion.

(1)Purchase accounting allocations associated with the June 2023 acquisition of the Domaine Curry wine business.

(2)Preliminary purchase accounting allocations associated with the Sea Smoke acquisition.

Acquisition

Sea Smoke

In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility for $170.0 million, subject to adjustments. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Divestiture

Craft Beer Divestitures

In June 2023, we completed the Craft Beer Divestitures. Prior to the Craft Beer Divestitures, we recorded the results of operations of such craft beer brands in the Beer segment.

6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

We did not incur costs to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023. Net carrying amount represents the gross carrying value net of accumulated amortization.

Additionally, as of August 31, 2024, in connection with the assessment of the same events and circumstances triggering the interim goodwill impairment test for the Wine and Spirits reporting unit, we completed an interim impairment test of our wine and spirits trademarks. We performed qualitative evaluations considering the results of the most recent fair value measurements as of January 1, 2024, and the likely impact of the negative trends for our Wine and Spirits business on the fair values of the trademarks and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair values of these intangible assets exceeded their carrying amounts.

7. OTHER ASSETS

The major components of other assets are as follows:


	August 31, 2024		February 29, 2024
(in millions)

Operating lease right-of-use asset	$	579.5	$	615.3

(in millions)
Canopy Equity Method Investment (1)	$	—	$	42.5
Other equity method investments	128.7		128.1
	$	128.7	$	170.6

(1)Following the April 2024 conversion to Exchangeable Shares we no longer apply the equity method.

Exchangeable Shares

In April 2024, we elected to convert our 17.1 million Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, in April 2024, we exchanged C$81.2 million of the principal amount of the C$100.0 million 4.25% promissory note issued to us by Canopy for 9.1 million Exchangeable Shares and forgave all accrued but unpaid interest together with the remaining principal amount of the note. As a result of these transactions, we (i) have 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares and (ii) recognized an $83.3 million net gain in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended August 31, 2024. The fair value of Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy’s common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy’s common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As the Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for the Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program

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

9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2024, was 30.0% of tax benefit compared with 22.1% of tax expense for the six months ended August 31, 2023. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2024, was 11.4% of tax benefit compared with 17.4% of tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2023.

For the six months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses, partially offset by a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 16


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS			Table of Contents

For the three months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment.

For the six months ended August 31, 2023, 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 (i) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses and (ii) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of a change in tax entity classification.

For the three months ended August 31, 2023, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a 15% global minimum tax rate. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and currently do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.

10. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AND OTHER LIABILITIES

The major components of deferred income taxes and other liabilities are as follows:

Stock repurchases

In each of January 2021 and November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our publicly traded common stock. The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which these authorizations would expire. Shares repurchased under these authorizations become treasury shares.

For the six months ended August 31, 2024, we repurchased 1,778,281 shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the 2021 Authorization through open market transactions at an aggregate cost of $449.2 million.

As of August 31, 2024, total shares repurchased under our board authorizations are as follows:

12. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI

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


	For the Six Months Ended August 31,				For the Three Months Ended August 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

13. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO CBI

14. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

(i)Effective as of May 31, 2023, we determined that the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note did not have future economic value given the substantial doubt about Canopy’s ability to continue as a going concern, as disclosed by Canopy, prior to the maturity of the note. Accordingly, the fair value of the remaining balance for this instrument was determined to be zero. In April 2024, we exchanged the 2023 Canopy Promissory Note for Exchangeable Shares.

15. ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED

Segment reporting

In November 2023, the FASB issued a standard requiring disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM as well as the title and position of the CODM. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2025, and interim periods beginning March 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Income taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued a standard aimed at improving tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2026, with early adoption permitted and this standard may be applied retrospectively. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Climate

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules will require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks, how the board of directors and management oversee and manage such risks, and the actual and potential material impacts of such risks on us. The rules also require disclosure about material climate-related targets and goals, Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and the financial impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The SEC has indicated that it will publish a new effective date for the rules, if ultimately implemented, at the conclusion of the stay. These rules will be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of these rules on our SEC filings.

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

Introduction

This MD&A provides additional information on our businesses, current developments, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2024 Annual Report. This MD&A is organized as follows:

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

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

Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of our results of operations presented on a business segment basis for the three months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, and six months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023. In addition, a brief description of significant transactions and other items that affect the comparability of the results is provided.

Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows, outstanding debt, and liquidity position. Included in the analysis of outstanding debt is a discussion of the financial capacity available to fund our on-going operations and future commitments, as well as a discussion of other financing arrangements.

Overview

We are an international producer and marketer of beer, wine, and spirits with operations in the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, and Italy with powerful, consumer-connected, high-quality brands like Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Robert Mondavi Winery, Kim Crawford, Meiomi, The Prisoner Wine Company, High West, Casa Noble, and Mi CAMPO. In the U.S., we are one of the top growth contributors at retail among beverage alcohol suppliers. We are the second-largest beer company in the U.S. and continue to strengthen our leadership position as the #1 share gainer in the high-end beer segment and the overall U.S. beer market. In Fiscal 2024, Modelo Especial became the #1 beer brand in the U.S. beer market in dollar sales and continues to hold that position. Within wine and spirits, we have reshaped our brand portfolio to a higher-end focused business and continue our efforts to expand our supply channels through DTC and international markets. The strength of our brands makes us a supplier of choice to many of our consumers and our customers, which include wholesale distributors, retailers, and on-premise locations. We conduct our business through entities we wholly own as well as through a variety of joint ventures and other entities.

Amounts included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment consist of costs of corporate development, corporate finance, corporate strategy, executive management, growth, human resources, internal audit, investor relations, IT, legal, and public relations, as well as our Canopy investment and investments made through our corporate venture capital function. All costs included in the Corporate Operations and Other segment are general costs that are applicable to the consolidated group and are, therefore, not allocated to the other reportable segments. All costs reported within the Corporate Operations and Other segment are not included in our CODM’s evaluation of the operating income (loss) performance of the other reportable segments. The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management, and the structure of our internal financial reporting.

Goodwill impairment

As of August 31, 2024, in connection with negative trends within our Wine and Spirits business primarily attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, management updated its Fiscal 2025 outlook for this reporting unit. Based on the aforementioned factors, we performed an interim quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment which indicated that the carrying value of the Wine and Spirits reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a $2,250.0 million goodwill impairment. This loss from impairment was included in goodwill impairment within our consolidated results for Second Quarter 2025 and Six Months 2025. See Notes 4, 5, and 9 for further discussion.

Strategy

Business strategy

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

•continue building strong brands people love with advantaged routes to market;

•build a culture that is consumer-obsessed and leverages robust innovation capabilities to stay on the forefront of consumer trends;

•deploy capital in line with disciplined and balanced priorities;

•deliver on impactful ESG initiatives that we believe are not only good business, but also good for the world; and

•empower the whole enterprise to achieve best-in-class operational efficiency.

We will continue to strive for success by ensuring consumer-led decision making drives all aspects of our business; building a diverse talent pipeline with best-in-class people development; investing in infrastructure that supports and enables our business, including data systems and architecture; and exemplifying intentional and proactive fiscal management. We place focus on positioning our portfolio on higher-margin, higher-growth categories of the beverage alcohol industry to align with consumer-led premiumization, product, and purchasing trends, which we anticipate will continue to drive faster relative growth rates across beer, wine, and spirits. To continue capitalizing on consumer-led premiumization trends, become more competitive, and grow our business, we have employed a strategy dedicated to organic growth and supplemented by targeted investments and acquisitions. We also believe a key component to driving faster relative growth rates is to invest and strengthen our position within the DTC and 3-tier eCommerce channels. We intend for our multi-year Digital Business Acceleration initiative to enable us to drive results by enhancing our technology capabilities in key areas. In Fiscal 2025, we continue to focus on end-to-end digital supply chain planning, logistics, and procurement, as well as introducing a new focus area, revenue growth management. Additionally, we believe our continued focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet provides a solid financial foundation to support our broader strategic initiatives.

Our business strategy for the Beer segment focuses on upholding our leadership position in the U.S. beer market, including the high-end segment, and continuing to grow our high-end imported beer brands through maintenance of leading margins, enhancements to our results of operations and operating cash flow, and exploring new avenues for growth. This includes continued focus on growing our beer portfolio in the U.S. through expanding distribution for key brands, including within the 3-tier eCommerce channel, as well as investing in the next increment of modular capacity additions required to sustain our momentum. We continue to focus on consumer-led innovation by creating new line extensions behind celebrated, trusted brands and package formats, as well as new to world brands, that are intended to meet emerging needs. Additionally, expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities continue under our Mexico Beer Projects to align with our anticipated future growth expectations.

Our business strategy for the Wine and Spirits segment continues to focus on delivering growth and improving margins by driving our higher-end brands and operating efficiencies, while also seeking to enhance the performance of our mainstream brands. We have reshaped our portfolio primarily through an enhanced focus on higher-margin, higher-growth wine and spirits brands. Our business is organized into three distinct category-based teams focused on (i) U.S. wine, (ii) international wine, and (iii) spirits. While each team has its own distinct brand execution strategy, all three remain aligned to the goal of accelerating performance by growing organic net sales and expanding margins. In addition, we are advancing our aim to become a global, omni-channel competitor in line with consumer preferences. Our business continues its efforts to progressively expand into DTC channels (including hospitality), 3-tier eCommerce, and international markets, while remaining a major supplier in U.S. 3-tier brick-and-mortar distribution. In markets where it is feasible, we entered into a contractual arrangement with Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits to consolidate our U.S. distribution in order to obtain dedicated distributor selling resources which focus on our U.S. wine and spirits portfolio to drive organic growth.

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

We remain committed to our long-term financial model of: growing sales, expanding margins, and increasing cash flow in order to continue to achieve comparable earnings per share growth as well as our target net leverage ratio on a comparable basis and dividend payout ratio; investing to support the growth of our business; and delivering additional returns to stockholders through periodic share repurchases. Our results of operations and financial condition have been affected by macroeconomic headwinds, including rising unemployment, inflation, changing prices, other unfavorable global and regional economic conditions, global supply chain disruptions and constraints, and geopolitical events, as well as reductions in the discretionary income of consumers available to purchase our products and shifting consumer behaviors. Additionally, ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, particularly rising unemployment, have led to a recent deceleration in the rate of growth of consumer demand for our products. We expect some or all of these impacts to continue during the remainder of Fiscal 2025 which could have a material impact on our results of operations. We intend to continue to monitor the economic environment, the shifting behavior of consumers, and their impacts on our business. In addition, we are continuing our commodity and foreign exchange hedging programs while also seeking to identify additional cost savings and efficiency initiatives. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate rising costs through increased selling prices and/or cost savings and efficiency initiatives. Furthermore, to the extent climate-related severe weather events, such as droughts, floods, wildfires, extreme heat, and/or late frosts, or other weather conditions that constrain consumer purchasing occasions, continue to occur or accelerate in future periods, it could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

ESG strategy

During the course of our history, we have been committed to safeguarding our environment, making a positive difference in our communities, and advocating for responsible consumption of beverage alcohol products.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 28


MD&A			Table of Contents

We believe our ESG strategy enables us to better meet stakeholder expectations and create and protect value for our business, reflects our Company values, and directly addresses pressing environmental and societal needs that are important to our stockholders, communities, consumers, and employees.

Specifically, we have focused on areas where we believe we have the greatest opportunities to make meaningful, positive impacts for people and the planet in a manner that strengthens our Company, and we dedicate our resources towards:

Serving as good stewards of our environment and natural resources

Improving water availability and resilience for our communities where we operate; reducing GHG emissions through energy conservation and renewable energy initiatives; and reducing operational waste and enhancing our use of returnable, recyclable, or renewable packaging

Enhancing social equity within our industry and communities

Championing the professional development and advancement of women in the beverage alcohol industry and our communities; enhancing economic development and prosperity in disadvantaged communities; and championing an inclusive workplace culture, characterized by diversity in background and thought, which reflects our consumers and the communities where we live and work

Promoting responsible beverage alcohol consumption

Ensuring the responsible promotion and marketing of our products; and empowering adults to make responsible choices in their alcohol (substance) consumption by supporting fact-based education, engagement programs, and policies

Divestitures, Acquisitions, and Investments

Beer segment

Mexicali Brewery

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

Craft Beer Divestitures

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

Daleville Facility

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

Wine and Spirits segment

Sea Smoke acquisition

In June 2024, we acquired the Sea Smoke business, including a California-based luxury wine brand, vineyards, and a production facility. This transaction also included the acquisition of goodwill, inventory, and a trademark. The results of operations of Sea Smoke are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. This acquisition supports our strategic focus on consumer-led premiumization trends and meeting the evolving needs of our consumers.

estimated fair value, resulting in a $12.3 million impairment. This loss from impairment was included in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results for Second Quarter 2024 and Six Months 2024.

Canopy investment

We have an investment in Canopy, a North American cannabis and CPG company providing medical and adult-use cannabis products, which expands our portfolio into adjacent categories.

Exchangeable Shares —

Canopy Equity Method Investment —

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

Other Canopy investments —

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

For additional information on these divestitures, acquisitions, and investments refer to Notes 4, 5, and 7.

Results of Operations

Financial Highlights

Second Quarter 2025 compared with Second Quarter 2024

•Our results of operations were negatively impacted by the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by improvements within the Beer segment driven by a successful execution of cost savings initiatives and 4.6% shipment volume growth.


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 30


MD&A			Table of Contents

•Net sales increased 3% largely due to an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by shipment volume growth and favorable impact from pricing, partially offset by a decline in Wine and Spirits net sales led by a decrease in branded shipment volume and unfavorable product mix.

•Net loss attributable to CBI and diluted net loss per common share attributable to CBI increased largely due to the items discussed above, partially offset by a benefit from income taxes as compared to a provision for income taxes for Second Quarter 2024.

Six Months 2025 compared to Six Months 2024

•Our results of operations were negatively impacted by the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by Canopy-related activities, including (i) no longer recognizing equity losses from Canopy’s results following the conversion of our Canopy common shares to Exchangeable Shares, (ii) an impairment of our then-existing Canopy Equity Method Investment (Six Months 2024), (iii) a decrease in unrealized net losses from the changes in fair value of our investment in Canopy, and (iv) a net gain on the common shares conversion and 2023 Canopy Promissory Note exchange to Exchangeable Shares during the Six Months 2025, and improvements within the Beer segment driven by 6.0% shipment volume growth and the successful execution of cost savings initiatives.

•Net sales increased 4% largely due to an increase in Beer net sales driven primarily by shipment volume growth and favorable impact from pricing, partially offset by a decline in Wine and Spirits net sales led by a decrease in branded shipment volume and unfavorable product mix.

•Operating loss increased largely due to the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by the improvements within the Beer segment resulting from shipment volume growth, favorable pricing, and lower cost of product sold, driven by the successful execution of cost savings initiatives.

Comparable Adjustments

Management excludes items that affect comparability from its evaluation of the results of each operating segment as these Comparable Adjustments are not reflective of core operations of the segments. Segment operating performance and the incentive compensation of segment management are evaluated based on core segment operating income (loss) which does not include the impact of these Comparable Adjustments.

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

Cost of product sold

Undesignated commodity derivative contracts

Net gain (loss) on undesignated commodity derivative contracts represents a net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of undesignated commodity derivative contracts. The net gain (loss) is reported outside of segment operating results until such time that the underlying exposure is recognized in the segment operating results. At settlement, the net gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the undesignated commodity derivative contracts is reported in the appropriate operating segment, allowing the results of our operating segments to reflect the economic effects of the commodity derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility.

Flow through of inventory step-up

In connection with acquisitions, the allocation of purchase price in excess of book value for certain inventories on hand at the date of acquisition is referred to as inventory step-up. Inventory step-up represents an assumed manufacturing profit attributable to the acquired business prior to acquisition.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Restructuring and other strategic business development costs

We recognized costs in connection with certain activities which are intended to streamline, increase efficiencies, and reduce our cost structure primarily within our Wine and Spirits segment.

Transition services agreements activity

We recognized costs in connection with transition services agreements related to the previous sale of a portion of our wine and spirits business.

Transaction, integration, and other acquisition-related costs

We recognized costs in connection with our investments, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Other gains (losses)

We recognized other gains (losses) primarily from (i) a net loss on foreign currency as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments (Second Quarter 2025, Six Months 2025), (ii) losses on the sales of the Daleville Facility and Craft Beer Divestitures (Second Quarter 2024, Six Months 2024), and (iii) recognition of a previously deferred gain upon release of a related indemnity (Second Quarter 2024, Six Months 2024).

MD&A			Table of Contents

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is largely driven by (i) a $34.5 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) $28.9 million of unfavorable product mix, primarily driven by a decline in demand for certain of our mainstream and premium brands, and (iii) a $7.9 million decrease in non-branded net sales led by a decline in bulk wine sales, partially offset by $14.3 million from higher contractual distributor payments as compared to Second Quarter 2024. The decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume is attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, primarily driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, as well as retailer inventory destocking. For Second Quarter 2025, the depletions decline outpaced the U.S. Wholesale shipments decline largely driven by challenging U.S. market conditions.

Comparable Adjustments	(18.6)		23.9		(42.5)		NM
Consolidated gross profit	$	1,511.8	$	1,449.9	$	61.9	4	%


			The increase in Beer gross profit is due to (i) $55.9 million of shipment volume growth, (ii) the $50.2 million favorable impact from pricing, and (iii) $44.5 million of reduced cost of product sold, partially offset by $12.9 million of unfavorable product mix. The reduced cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $18.8 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to increased production levels as compared to Second Quarter 2024, (ii) $12.7 million of decreased transportation costs and $7.7 million of lower material costs, including cartons, aluminum, and lumber, each driven by efficiency initiatives, and (iii) $16.2 million of Second Quarter 2024 costs related to a voluntary product recall of select kegs, partially offset by (i) $5.8 million of higher depreciation resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects and (ii) a $5.0 million increase in brewery costs, including compensation and benefits. To partially offset the expected increases in cost of product sold we are executing efficiency initiatives focused largely on logistics and procurement that resulted in over $65 million of cost savings for Second Quarter 2025.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is attributable to (i) $32.5 million of unfavorable product mix from lower-margin net sales and (ii) an $18.4 million decline in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, partially offset by (i) the $14.3 million favorable impact from higher contractual distributor payments and (ii) $2.3 million of reduced cost of product sold. The decrease in cost of product sold was largely attributable to lower operational costs, including short-term incentive accruals, and transportation and warehousing costs as compared to Second Quarter 2024, partially offset by increased raw materials costs, including grapes.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 51.8% for Second Quarter 2025 compared with 51.1% for Second Quarter 2024. This increase was largely due to (i) approximately 155 basis points of rate growth from lower cost of product sold within the Beer segment, (ii) 85 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing, and (iii) approximately 30 basis points of favorable impact driven by higher contractual distributor payments within the Wine and Spirits segment, partially offset by (i) an unfavorable change of approximately 150 basis points in Comparable Adjustments and (ii) approximately 65 basis points of rate decline resulting from unfavorable product mix within the Wine and Spirits segment.

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative expenses	$	491.2	$	471.2	$	20.0	4	%


			The increase in Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $22.6 million of additional marketing spend primarily led by advertising campaigns to support our high-end imported beer brands as well as new product launches, partially offset by $8.9 million of decreased general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower short-term incentive accruals as compared to Second Quarter 2024.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to (i) $17.4 million of decreased general and administrative expenses primarily due to lower short-term incentive accruals and litigation expenses as compared to Second Quarter 2024 and (ii) $5.2 million of lower marketing spend. Marketing as a percentage of net sales remained consistent year-over-year.


			The decrease in Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely due to a tax credit resulting from our Second Quarter 2025 corporate headquarters relocation. Compensation and benefits remained relatively flat as compared to Second Quarter 2024, as higher stock-based compensation expense and merit increases were offset by lower short-term incentive accruals.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 16.8% for Second Quarter 2025 as compared to 16.6% for Second Quarter 2024. The increase is largely driven by an unfavorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 110 basis points of rate growth, partially offset by approximately (i) 40 basis points and 25 basis points of rate declines from Wine and Spirits’ and Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, and (ii) 25 basis points of rate decline as the increase in Beer net sales exceeded the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased to $104.0 million for Second Quarter 2025 as compared to $110.6 million for Second Quarter 2024. This decrease of $6.6 million, or 6%, is largely due to (i) approximately $195 million of lower average borrowings driven by the term loan facility repayment during Second Quarter 2024 and (ii) an increase in capitalized interest in connection with the Mexico Beer Projects as compared to the Second Quarter 2024. For additional information, refer to Note 8.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The (provision for) benefit from income taxes increased to $152.2 million for Second Quarter 2025 from $(147.2) million for Second Quarter 2024. Our effective tax rate for Second Quarter 2025 was 11.4% as compared with 17.4% for Second Quarter 2024. In comparison to prior year, our income taxes were impacted primarily by the net income tax impacts resulting from the (i) non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and (ii) sale of the remaining assets at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

For additional information, refer to Note 9.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI decreased to $(1,199.0) million for Second Quarter 2025 from $690.0 million for Second Quarter 2024. This decrease of $1,889.0 million is largely attributable to the Second Quarter 2025 Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by the benefit from income taxes and improvements within the Beer segment driven by the successful execution of cost savings initiatives, shipment volume growth, and favorable pricing.

Depletions (1)								4.2	%

(1)Includes an adjustment to remove volumes associated with the Craft Beer Divestitures for the period March 1, 2023, through May 31, 2023.

The increase in Beer net sales is due to (i) $265.4 million of shipment volume growth, which benefited from continued consumer demand, and (ii) $85.2 million of favorable impact from pricing in select markets, partially offset by $38.9 million of unfavorable product mix primarily from a shift in package types. We expect shipments to generally align with depletions for Fiscal 2025.

Shipments		11.1		12.0				(7.5	%)


U.S. Wholesale shipments		9.8		10.5				(6.7	%)






Depletions								(15.1	%)

The decrease in Wine and Spirits net sales is largely driven by (i) a $58.1 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, (ii) $37.0 million of unfavorable product mix, primarily driven by a decline in demand for certain of our mainstream and premium brands, and (iii) an $8.2 million decrease in non-branded net sales led by a decline in bulk wine sales, partially offset by $18.6 million from higher contractual distributor payments as compared to Six Months 2024. The decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume is attributable to our U.S. wholesale market, primarily driven by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, as well as retailer inventory destocking. For Six Months 2025, the depletions decline outpaced the U.S. Wholesale shipments decline largely driven by challenging U.S. market conditions. We expect U.S. Wholesale shipment volume to generally align with depletion volume for Fiscal 2025.

Gross profit

Comparable Adjustments	3.4		(10.9)		14.3		NM
Consolidated gross profit	$	2,915.6	$	2,707.7	$	207.9	8	%


			The increase in Beer gross profit is primarily due to (i) $141.2 million of shipment volume growth, (ii) the $85.2 million of favorable impact from pricing, and (iii) $52.6 million of reduced cost of product sold, partially offset by $26.9 million of unfavorable product mix. The reduced cost of product sold is primarily due to (i) $31.3 million of favorable fixed cost absorption related to increased production levels as compared to Six Months 2024, (ii) $23.5 million of decreased transportation costs and $15.7 million of lower material costs, including aluminum, glass, cartons, and lumber, each driven by efficiency initiatives, and (iii) $16.2 million due to costs related to a voluntary product recall of select kegs for Six Months 2024, partially offset by (i) an $11.8 million increase in brewery costs, including compensation and benefits, and (ii) $10.8 million of higher depreciation resulting from the Mexico Beer Projects. To partially offset the increases in cost of product sold we are executing initiatives focused largely on logistics and procurement that resulted in nearly $115 million of cost savings for Six Months 2025.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits gross profit is attributable to (i) $38.2 million of unfavorable product mix from lower-margin net sales, (ii) a $30.4 million decrease in branded wine and spirits shipment volume, and (iii) $10.6 million of increased cost of product sold, partially offset by the $18.6 million favorable impact from higher contractual distributor payments. The increase in cost of product sold was largely attributable to unfavorable fixed cost absorption related to decreased production levels as compared to Six Months 2024 and increased raw materials costs, including grapes, partially offset by lower operational costs, including short-term incentive accruals, and decreased transportation and warehousing costs.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 52.2% for Six Months 2025 compared with 50.6% for Six Months 2024. This increase was largely due to (i) 95 basis points of rate growth from lower cost of product sold within the Beer segment, (ii) 75 basis points of favorable impact from Beer pricing, (iii) a favorable change of approximately 25 basis points in Comparable Adjustments, and (iv) approximately 20 basis points of favorable impact driven by higher contractual distributor payments within the Wine and Spirits segment, partially offset by 35 basis points and approximately 20 basis points of rate declines resulting from unfavorable product mix and higher cost of product sold, respectively, both within the Wine and Spirits segment.

MD&A			Table of Contents


			The increase in Beer selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $14.1 million of additional marketing spend primarily led by advertising campaigns to support our high-end imported beer brands as well as new product launches, predominantly offset by $10.9 million of decreased general and administrative expenses primarily due to decreased legal expenses and lower short-term incentive accruals, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense.


			The decrease in Wine and Spirits selling, general, and administrative expenses is largely driven by $22.9 million and $5.6 million of decreased general and administrative expenses and marketing spend, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to (i) compensation and benefits, driven by lower short-term incentive accruals and reduced headcount as compared to Six Months 2024 and (ii) lower litigation expenses. Marketing spend as a percentage of net sales remained relatively consistent year-over-year.


			Corporate Operations and Other selling, general, and administrative expenses remained relatively flat compared to Six Months 2024 as higher stock-based compensation expense and merit increases were offset by a tax credit resulting from our Second Quarter 2025 corporate headquarters relocation and decreased costs associated with lower short-term incentive accruals.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales decreased to 17.1% for Six Months 2025 as compared with 18.0% for Six Months 2024. The decrease is largely driven by (i) approximately 95 basis points of rate decline as the increase in Beer net sales exceeded the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses and (ii) approximately 25 basis points of rate decline from a decrease in Wine and Spirits’ selling, general, and administrative expenses, partially offset by an unfavorable change in Comparable Adjustments, contributing approximately 25 basis points of rate growth.

Consolidated operating income (loss)	$	(287.8)	$	1,743.4	$	(2,031.2)	(117	%)


			The increase in Beer operating income is largely attributable to the shipment volume growth, cost savings initiatives, and favorable impacts from pricing and fixed cost absorption, partially offset by the unfavorable product mix as describe above.


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


			As previously discussed, the Corporate Operations and Other operating loss remained relatively flat as compared to Six Months 2024 as the higher net compensation and benefit expenses were offset by the tax credit.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased to $206.8 million for Six Months 2025 as compared to $229.5 million for Six Months 2024. This decrease of $22.7 million, or 10%, is due to (i) approximately $380 million of lower short-term and long-term average borrowings, (ii) an increase in capitalized interest in connection with the Mexico Beer Projects as compared to Six Months 2024, and (iii) approximately 5 basis points of lower weighted average interest rates. For additional information, refer to Note 8.

(Provision for) benefit from income taxes

The (provision for) benefit from income taxes increased to $124.2 million for Six Months 2025 from $(238.4) million for Six Months 2024. Our effective tax rate for Six Months 2025 was 30.0% as compared with 22.1% for Six Months 2024. In comparison to prior year, our income taxes were impacted primarily by:

•a Six Months 2025 net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods; partially offset by

•the net income tax impacts resulting from the (i) non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment and (ii) sale of the remaining assets at the canceled Mexicali Brewery.

For additional information, refer to Note 9.

We expect our reported effective tax rate for Fiscal 2025 to be in the range of 8% to 10%.

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI

Net income (loss) attributable to CBI decreased to $(322.0) million for Six Months 2025 from $825.9 million for Six Months 2024. This decrease of $1,147.9 million is largely attributable to the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment, partially offset by (i) the favorable impact from Canopy-related activities, (ii) the benefit from income taxes, and (iii) Six Months 2025 improvements within the Beer segment driven by shipment volume growth and the successful execution of cost savings initiatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operating activities. Our ability to consistently generate robust cash flow from our operations is one of our most significant financial strengths; it enables us to invest in our people and our brands, make capital investments and strategic acquisitions, provide a cash dividend program, and from time-to-time, repurchase shares of our common stock. Our largest use of cash in our operations is for purchasing and carrying inventories and carrying seasonal accounts receivable. Historically, we


Constellation Brands, Inc. Q2 FY 2025 Form 10-Q			#WORTHREACHINGFOR I 40


MD&A			Table of Contents

have used this cash flow to repay our short-term borrowings and fund capital expenditures. Additionally, our commercial paper program is used to fund our short-term borrowing requirements and to maintain our access to the capital markets. We use our short-term borrowings, including our commercial paper program, to support our working capital requirements and capital expenditures, among other things.

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

We have an agreement with a financial institution for payment services and to facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program through this participating financial institution. The program is available to certain of our suppliers allowing them the option to manage their cash flow. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial institution and the suppliers in connection with the program. Our rights and obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. As of August 31, 2024 and February 29, 2024, the amount payable to this participating financial institution for suppliers who voluntarily participate in the supply chain finance program was $7.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and was included in accounts payable within our consolidated balance sheets. We account for payments made under the supply chain finance program the same as our other accounts payable, as a reduction to our cash flow from operating activities.

The $54.5 million net change in operating assets and liabilities was largely driven by higher (i) accounts payable for the Beer segment resulting from the timing of payments and (ii) inventory levels for the Wine and Spirits segment led by declines in both the overall wine market and in our mainstream and premium wine brands, as well as retailer inventory destocking. These changes were offset by lower (i) inventory levels for the Beer segment driven by higher demand for our products and (ii) accounts receivable for the Wine and Spirits segment resulting from reduced net sales. Additionally, net cash provided by operating activities was negatively impacted by higher Six Months 2025 income tax payments following the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments as compared to Six Months 2024.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $857.6 million for Six Months 2025 from $600.9 million for Six Months 2024. This increase of $256.7 million, or 43%, was primarily due to a $150.8 million increase in business acquisitions, driven by the June 2024 Sea Smoke acquisition, and $121.1 million of additional capital expenditures, largely related to the Mexico Beer Projects. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by $18.0 million in higher proceeds from the sale of assets for Six Months 2025 as compared to Six Months 2024.

Bank facilities

General

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of August 31, 2024, consisted of fixed-rate senior unsecured notes, with maturities ranging from calendar 2024 to calendar 2050.

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

We do not have purchase commitments from buyers for our commercial paper and, therefore, our ability to issue commercial paper is subject to market demand. If the commercial paper market is not available to us for any reason when commercial paper borrowings mature, we will utilize unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 Credit Agreement to repay commercial paper borrowings. We do not expect that fluctuations in demand for commercial paper will affect our liquidity given our borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility.

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

Revolving credit facility (1)	$	1,729.7	$	1,877.7

The financial institutions participating in our 2022 Credit Agreement have complied with prior funding requests and we believe they will comply with any future funding requests. However, there can be no assurances that any particular financial institution will continue to do so.

As of August 31, 2024, we and our subsidiaries were subject to covenants that are contained in our 2022 Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio, both as defined in our 2022 Credit Agreement. As of August 31, 2024, under our 2022 Credit Agreement, the minimum interest coverage ratio was 2.5x and the maximum net leverage ratio was 4.0x.

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

As of August 31, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants under our 2022 Credit Agreement and our indentures, and have met all debt payment obligations.

Common Stock Dividends

On October 1, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.01 per share of Class A Stock and $0.91 per share of Class 1 Stock payable on November 21, 2024, to stockholders of record of each class as of the close of business on November 5, 2024.

We currently expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock in the future, but such payments are subject to approval of our Board of Directors and are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report as supplemented by the additional factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in this Form 10-Q.

Share Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our publicly traded common stock of up to $2.0 billion under the 2021 Authorization and an additional repurchase of up to $2.0 billion under the 2023 Authorization.

As of August 31, 2024, total shares repurchased under the 2021 Authorization and the 2023 Authorization are as follows:


			Class A Stock
	Repurchase Authorization		Dollar Value of Shares Repurchased		Number of Shares Repurchased
(in millions, except share data)
2021 Authorization	$	2,000.0	$	1,835.5	7,653,557
2023 Authorization	$	2,000.0	$	—	—

Share repurchases under the 2021 Authorization and 2023 Authorization may be accomplished at management’s discretion from time to time based on market conditions, our cash and debt position, and other factors as determined by management. Shares may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions. We may fund future share repurchases with cash generated from operations and/or proceeds from borrowings. Any repurchased shares will become treasury shares, including shares previously repurchased under the 2021 Authorization.

We currently expect to continue to repurchase shares in the future, but such repurchases are dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report as supplemented by the additional factors set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Foreign currency and commodity price risk

Foreign currency derivative instruments are or may be used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, forecasted foreign currency denominated sales/purchases to/from third parties as well as intercompany sales/purchases, intercompany principal and interest payments, and in connection with investments, acquisitions, or divestitures outside the U.S. As of August 31, 2024, we had exposures to foreign currency risk primarily related to the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, euro, and New Zealand dollar. Approximately 100% of our balance sheet exposures and 89% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2025 were hedged as of August 31, 2024.

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, 2024, exposures to commodity price risk which we are currently hedging include aluminum, corn, diesel fuel, and natural gas prices. Approximately 87% of our forecasted transactional exposures for the remaining six months of Fiscal 2025 were hedged as of August 31, 2024.

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


	Aggregate Notional Value				Fair Value, Net Asset (Liability)				Increase (Decrease) in Fair Value – Hypothetical 10% Adverse Change
	August 31, 2024		August 31, 2023		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2023		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2023
(in millions)
Foreign currency contracts	$	3,604.0	$	2,715.8	$	53.3	$	322.5	$	(198.6)	$	(173.6)
Commodity derivative contracts	$	342.8	$	344.6	$	(23.9)	$	(10.5)	$	28.1	$	29.3

Interest rate risk

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

There were no cash flow designated or undesignated interest rate swap contracts or Pre-issuance hedge contracts outstanding as of August 31, 2024, or August 31, 2023.

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.

	August 31, 2024		August 31, 2023		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2023		August 31, 2024		August 31, 2023

A 1% hypothetical change in the prevailing interest rates would have increased interest expense on our variable interest rate debt by $2.6 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended August 31, 2024, and August 31, 2023, respectively.

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 Exchange Act 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 Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

For information regarding Legal Proceedings, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to information discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report. The risk factors associated with our business have not materially changed compared to the risk factors disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report except for the updated risk factor below. The risk factor described below and the additional risks described in the 2024 Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations in future periods. The following risk factor is organized under a relevant heading; however, it may be relevant to other headings as well.

Strategic Risks

Dependence upon trademarks and proprietary rights, failure to protect our intellectual property rights

Our future success depends significantly on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. We have been granted numerous trademark registrations and use certain trademarks under license covering our brands and products, and we have filed, and expect to continue to file or have filed on our behalf, trademark applications seeking to protect newly developed brands and products. We cannot be sure that trademark registrations will be issued with respect to any of such trademark applications. We could also, by omission, fail to timely renew or protect a trademark and our competitors could challenge, invalidate, or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us.

Our subsidiaries CB Brand Strategies, LLC, Crown Imports LLC, and Compañía Cervecera de Coahuila, S. de R.L. de C.V. were named as defendants in a lawsuit originally filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 15, 2021, and most recently amended in March 2022, by Cervecería Modelo de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Trademarks Grupo Modelo, S. de R.L. de C.V. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that our sub-license of the trademarks for our Mexican beer brands should not permit us to use the Corona brand name on our Corona Hard Seltzer or the Modelo brand name on our Modelo Ranch Water. At a trial in March 2023, the jury returned a unanimous verdict in our favor on all counts in the plaintiffs’ complaint, and the court entered judgment dismissing the complaint. In May 2023, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In March 2024, the Second Circuit issued an order affirming the judgment of the district court. Plaintiffs did not petition the U.S. Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari prior to the June 24, 2024 deadline. Consequently, the district court’s judgment dismissing this case is final and no longer subject to appeal.

We have been and may continue to be subject to other litigation related to our trademarks and intellectual property rights. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable developments and resolutions could occur. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters or our failure to otherwise protect our intellectual property rights as well as the costs associated with such activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations.

Exhibit 10.1

Description of Compensation Arrangements for Non-Management Directors

As of July 17, 2024

The following is a description of the compensation arrangements for the non-management directors of Constellation Brands, Inc. The Company’s annual compensation program for non-management directors for their service as directors consists of a board cash retainer, a non-executive board chair cash retainer, committee chair fees, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, an annual product allowance, and a matching charitable contribution program.

The board cash retainer consists of an annual retainer equal to $100,000 paid in quarterly installments. The non-executive board chair cash retainer consists of an annual retainer equal to $185,000 to be paid to the Board’s non-executive chair, if any, payable in quarterly installments. The committee chair fees consist of annual fees of $25,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee, $20,000 for the chair of the Human Resources Committee, and $17,500 for the chair of the Corporate Governance, Nominating, and Responsibility Committee, which are paid in quarterly installments.

Long-term incentive awards in the form of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units granted under the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan are another element of non-management director compensation. As approved by the Board of Directors, each non-management director receives the following annually:

1.A non-qualified stock option grant with a grant date fair value of $55,000 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

2.A restricted stock unit award with a grant date fair value of $125,000. (Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.)

The value of long-term incentive awards is pro-rated for new directors. While the Board has the flexibility to determine at the time of each grant the vesting provisions for any grant, whether on-cycle or off-cycle, non-qualified stock options generally vest six (6) months following the date of grant and restricted stock units generally vest on July 10th following the date of grant. The Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, Amended and Restated as of July 18, 2017, is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 18, 2017 and filed July 20, 2017.

Non-management directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board and Committee meetings. They also receive an annual product allowance in the form of a $10,000 cash payment and are eligible to participate in the Company’s charitable matching contribution program whereby they can direct all or a portion of the Company’s charitable matching contributions not in excess of $5,000.

Members of the Board of Directors who are members of management serve without receiving any additional fees or other compensation for their service on the Board.

PREAMBLE

Constellation Brands, Inc. established the Constellation Brands Non-Qualified Savings Plan, effective as of January 1, 2019 as an unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of management and/or highly compensated employees. Under the terms of the Plan, Eligible Individuals may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their Compensation to a later Taxable Year.

Participants shall have no right, either directly or indirectly, to anticipate, sell, assign or otherwise transfer any benefit accrued under the Plan. In addition, no Participant shall have any interest in any assets set aside as a source of funds to satisfy benefit obligations under the Plan. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Plan Sponsor, and the Plan shall constitute an unsecured promise by the Plan Sponsor to make benefit payments in the future.

The Plan is intended to be “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of ERISA Sections 201(2) and 301(a)(3), is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and binding guidance issued thereunder to avoid adverse tax consequences, and shall be interpreted and administered to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

Constellation Brands, Inc. hereby amends and restates the Plan as set forth herein effective as of January 1, 2025.

A Participant who is a common law employee has a Separation from Service if the Participant voluntarily or involuntarily terminates employment with the Plan Sponsor and all Affiliates. A termination of employment occurs if the facts and circumstances indicate that the Plan Sponsor and the Participant reasonably anticipate that no further services will be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform after such date (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) will decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of services if the Participant has been providing services for less than 36 months).

Participants shall have no right, secured or unsecured, to any assets held under the terms of the Trust.

ARTICLE II

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

2.1Eligibility. Eligible Individuals, as designated by the Plan Sponsor, may participate in the Plan. Generally, Eligible Individuals may commence participating in the Plan for Taxable Years commencing after they become Eligible Individuals.

2.2Participation. An Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan is subject to the Plan Administrator providing written notification to such Eligible Individual of his or her eligibility to participate in the Plan.

2.3Compensation Deferral Agreement. In order to defer Compensation under the Plan for a given Taxable Year, an Eligible Individual must enter into a Compensation Deferral Agreement with the Plan Sponsor authorizing the deferral of a portion of the Participant’s Compensation for such Taxable Year.

Upon receipt of a properly completed and executed Compensation Deferral Agreement, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Plan Sponsor to withhold that portion of the Participant’s Compensation specified in the Agreement. In no event will the Participant

be permitted to defer more than 75% of the Participant’s Regular Salary or 100% of the Participant’s Annual Bonus.

Subject to Section 2.6, the Compensation Deferral Agreement shall remain in effect for the duration of the Taxable Year to which it relates. The Compensation Deferral Agreement shall not remain in effect for subsequent Taxable Years. Rather, Participants must make new elections for each year.

A Compensation Deferral Agreement must be completed and returned to the Plan Sponsor prior to the first day of the Taxable Year in which services are performed for the Compensation deferred and shall be irrevocable except as otherwise provided hereunder.

2.4Matching Credits. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Plan Sponsor may credit the Account of a Participant with Matching Credits pursuant to subsection (a) and (b) below.

(a)For each Taxable Year, the Matching Credit under this subsection (a) will be equal to the difference between (i) the matching contribution that would have been credited to the Participant’s account under the Qualified Plan for the applicable year if the Participant’s contributions to the Qualified Plan had included Compensation Deferrals made by the Participant under this Plan for such year but otherwise subject to the applicable limitations of the Qualified Plan such as the maximum compensation limitation of Code Section 401(a)(17) and the maximum annual addition limitation of Code Section 415, and (ii) the matching contribution actually credited to the Participant’s account under the Qualified Plan for the year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant will receive a Matching Credit under this Plan for a Taxable Year only if the Participant has made the maximum salary reduction contributions permitted under the Qualified Plan during the applicable year.

(b)For each Taxable Year for which the Participant makes Compensation Deferrals pursuant to Section 2.3, the Matching Credit under this subsection (b) will equal an amount determined in the same manner as matching contributions are determined under the Qualified Plan, but only on Compensation in excess of the maximum compensation limitation under Code Section 401(a)(17) in effect for the Taxable Year (e.g., if a matching contribution under the Qualified Plan is 50% of the elective deferrals made by the Participant under that plan for the plan year, up to a maximum of six percent (6%) of the Participant’s Qualified Plan compensation, then the Matching Credit under this Plan would also be 50% of the Compensation Deferrals for the Taxable Year under this Plan up to 6% of the Participant’s Compensation in excess of the maximum compensation limitation under Code Section 401(a)(17) in effect for the Taxable Year).

(c)The Matching Credit will be made at such time or times as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion. Adjustments to Participants’ Accounts for Investment Credits or Debits will commence no earlier than the date on which the Matching Credit is actually credited to the Participants’ Accounts.

2.5Discretionary Credits. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Plan Sponsor may credit the Account of a Participant with Discretionary Credits. For each Taxable Year, the Discretionary Credit will be equal to the difference between (a) the Safe Harbor Employer Basic Contributions, as defined under the Qualified Plan, that would have been credited to the Participant’s account under the Qualified Plan for the applicable year if (i) the Participant’s compensation included Compensation Deferrals made by the Participant under this Plan for such year; and (ii) the contribution under the Qualified Plan was calculated without regard to Code limitations, including the maximum compensation limitation of Code Section 401(a)(17) and/or the maximum annual addition limitation of Code Section 415, and (b) the Safe Harbor Employer Basic Contributions actually credited to the Participant’s account under the Qualified Plan for the year. This Discretionary Credit will be made at such time or times as the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion. Adjustments to Participant’s Accounts for Investment Credits or Debits will commence no earlier than the date on which the Discretionary Credits are actually credited to the Participants’ Accounts.

2.6Cancellation of Deferrals. If a Participant has an Unforeseeable Emergency, as defined herein, the Plan Administrator may cancel all future Compensation Deferrals pertaining to Compensation not yet earned and required to be made pursuant to the Participant’s current Compensation Deferral Agreement if reasonably necessary to satisfy the Participant’s financial hardship subject to the standards and requirements for an Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution set forth in Section 6.8. If a Participant receives a hardship distribution from a qualified plan of the Plan Sponsor pursuant to Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(IV), the Plan Administrator shall cancel all future Compensation Deferrals pertaining to Compensation not yet earned and required to be made pursuant to the Participant’s current Compensation Deferral Agreement, and the Participant will be prohibited from making Compensation Deferrals under the Plan for at least six (6) months after receipt of the hardship distribution or such longer period as may be prescribed by the qualified plan. The Participant’s eligibility for Matching Credits and/or Discretionary Credits shall be similarly canceled, and the Participant shall be eligible to defer Compensation again at a later time only as provided under Section 2.3.

ARTICLE III

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS

3.1Establishment of Accounts. The Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain individual recordkeeping Accounts, Class Year Accounts and subaccounts, as applicable, on behalf of each Participant for purposes of determining each Participant’s benefits under the Plan. A Participant’s Account does not represent the Participant’s ownership of, or any ownership interest in, any assets which may be set aside to satisfy the Plan Sponsor’s obligations under the Plan.

3.2Account Maintenance.

(a)As of each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator shall credit each Participant’s Accounts with the following:

(i)An amount equal to any Compensation Deferrals made by the Participant since the last Valuation Date;

(ii)An amount equal to any Matching Credits and/or Discretionary Credits, and any forfeitures, if applicable, since the last Valuation Date; and

(iii)An amount equal to deemed Investment Credits under Section 3.3 since the last Valuation Date.

(b)As of each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator shall debit each Participant’s Accounts with the following:

(i)An amount equal to any distributions from the Plan to the Participant or Beneficiary since the last Valuation Date; and

(ii)An amount equal to deemed Investment Debits under Section 3.3 below since the last Valuation Date.

3.3Investment Credits and Debits. The Accounts of Participants shall be adjusted for Investment Credits and Debits in accordance with this Section 3.3.

Participants shall have the right to specify one or more Benefit Benchmarks in which their Compensation Deferrals, Matching Credits and Discretionary Credits shall be deemed to be invested. The Benefit Benchmarks shall be utilized solely for purposes of adjusting their Accounts in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall provide the Participant with a list of the available Benefit Benchmarks. From time to time, in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, the Benefit Benchmarks available within the Plan may be revised. All Benefit Benchmark selections must be denominated in whole percentages unless the Plan Administrator determines that lower increments are acceptable. A Participant may make changes in the manner in which future Compensation Deferrals, Matching Credits and/or Discretionary Credits are deemed to be invested among the various Benefit Benchmarks available under the Plan in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator. A Participant may re-direct the manner in which earlier Compensation Deferrals, Matching Credits and/or Discretionary Credits, as well as any appreciation (or depreciation), are deemed to be invested among the Benefit Benchmarks available under the Plan in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator.

As of each Valuation Date, the Plan Administrator shall adjust the Accounts of each Participant for interest, earnings or appreciation (less losses and depreciation) with respect to the then balance of the Participant’s Account equal to the actual results of the Participant’s deemed Benefit Benchmark elections.

All notional acquisitions and dispositions of Benefit Benchmarks which occur within a Participant’s Account, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, shall be deemed to occur at such times as the Plan Administrator shall determine to be administratively feasible in its sole discretion, and the Participant’s Account shall be adjusted accordingly. Accordingly, if a distribution or reallocation must occur pursuant to the terms of the Plan and all or some

portion of the Account must be valued in connection with such distribution or reallocation (to reflect Investment Credits and Debits), the Plan Administrator may in its sole discretion, unless otherwise provided for in the Plan, select a date or dates which shall be used for valuation purposes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Investment Credits or Debits made to any Participant’s Account following a Plan termination or a Change in Control Event shall be made in a manner no less favorable to Participants than the practices and procedures employed under the Plan, or as otherwise in effect, as of the date of the Plan termination or the Change in Control Event.

Notwithstanding the Participant’s deemed Benefit Benchmark elections under the Plan, the Plan Sponsor shall be under no obligation to actually invest any amounts in such manner, or in any manner, and such Benefit Benchmark elections shall be used solely to determine the amounts by which the Participant’s Account shall be adjusted under this Article III.

3.4Participant Statements. The Plan Administrator shall provide each Participant with a statement showing the credits to and debits from his or her Account since the last statement date. Such statement shall be provided to Participants as soon as administratively feasible following the end of each Taxable Year and on such other dates as agreed to by the Plan Sponsor and the party maintaining the Participant’s Account records.

ARTICLE IV

WITHHOLDING OF TAXES

4.1Withholding from Compensation. For any Taxable Year in which Compensation Deferrals, Matching Credits and/or Discretionary Credits are made to or vested within the Plan (as applicable), the Plan Sponsor shall withhold the Participant’s share of income, FICA and other employment taxes from the portion of the Participant’s Compensation not deferred. If deemed appropriate by the Plan Sponsor, all or any portion of a benefit under the Plan may be distributed in certain instances where necessary to facilitate compliance with applicable withholding requirements to the extent such distribution would not result in adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A. The amount of any such distribution shall not exceed the amount necessary to comply with applicable withholding requirements.

4.2Withholding from Benefit Distributions. The Plan Sponsor (or the Trustee of the Trust, as applicable) shall withhold from any payments made to a Participant under this Plan all federal, state and local income, employment and other taxes required to be withheld by the Plan Sponsor, in connection with such payments, in amounts and in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Plan Sponsor.

ARTICLE V

VESTING

5.1Vesting in Compensation Deferrals. A Participant shall be immediately vested in (i.e., shall have a non-forfeitable right to) all Compensation Deferrals.

5.2Vesting in Matching and Discretionary Credits. Unless otherwise set forth in the Annual Enrollment Materials for a Taxable Year, a Participant shall also be immediately vested in all Matching Credits and Discretionary Credits credited to his or her Account, including any Investment Credits or Debits associated therewith.

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENTS

6.1Benefits. Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, a Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefit payable under the Plan shall be the value of the Participant’s Class Year Accounts at the time a Distributable Event occurs with respect to such Participant or Beneficiary. In no event will a Participant’s right to a benefit under this Plan give such Participant a secured right or claim on any assets set aside by the Plan Sponsor to meet its obligations under the Plan. All payments from the Plan shall be subject to applicable tax withholding and shall commence (or be fully paid, in the event a lump sum form of distribution was selected) no later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Distributable Event, except as otherwise provided herein.

6.2Timing of Distribution Elections.

(a)Initial Elections. The Participant shall elect the form and timing of payment for each Class Year Account at the time the Participant submits (or is required to submit, in accordance with Section 2.3) his or her Compensation Deferral Agreement for the Taxable Year for which the Class Year Account is established. Such elections must be made consistent with the forms, rules and procedures specified by the Plan Administrator, as well as the requirements of Code Section 409A.

At the time specified above, the Participant may elect for each of his or her Class Year Accounts to receive a benefit in the form of a lump sum distribution or annual installment payments over a period of five (5) or ten (10) years commencing as of the earlier of:

(i)The Interim Distribution Date specified by the Participant; or

(ii)The Participation’s Separation from Service.

Notwithstanding the Participant’s election, in the event of the Participant’s Separation from Service prior to the Participant’s death, or Disability, or the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, all amounts credited to each

Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after occurrence of such Distributable Events. Effective with respect to a Participant’s Class Year Accounts for Taxable Years beginning before January 1, 2025 (the “Pre-2025 Class Year Accounts”), in the event of the Participant’s Separation from Service prior to the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age, all amounts credited to the Participant’s Pre-2025 Class Year Accounts shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after occurrence of the Separation from Service. Additionally, as noted below, special distribution payments may also be made in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency or as a consequence of an Income Inclusion Under Section 409A.

(b)Subsequent Changes in Time and Form of Payment. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, a Participant may elect to change the time or form of payment of amounts distributable upon a Separation from Service or elect to change the time of payment of amounts distributable upon an Interim Distribution Date; provided, however, that any such election shall be effective only if:

(i)the election does not accelerate the time or schedule of any payment within the meaning of Code Section 409A;

(ii)the election does not take effect until at least twelve 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

(iii)the first payment with respect to which such election is made is deferred for a period of 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made; and

(iv)for a change to a payment made upon an Interim Distribution Date, such election is made at least 12 months before such Interim Distribution Date.

The Plan Administrator shall have sole and absolute discretion to decide whether such a request shall be approved but may approve no more than one such request for any Participant with respect to any Class Year Account.

(c)Failures to Elect. If a Participant fails to properly elect the form or time of distribution for his or her Class Year Account, or cannot make a timely election under Code Section 409A, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive his or her Class Year Account in a single lump sum commencing on his or her Separation from Service.

6.3Separation from Service Payment. In the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service, the Participant’s Class Year Account shall be paid in the form of a cash lump sum or, if elected by the Participant, in annual cash payments (over a period of five (5) or ten (10) years) as elected for the Class Year Account. Effective with respect to a Participant’s Pre‑2025 Class Year Accounts (as defined in Section 6.2(a)), the Participant’s election of annual cash payments in lieu of a cash lump sum will have no effect if the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age. For purposes of Code Section 409A, installment payments shall be

treated as a single payment. If applicable, the initial installment shall be based on the value of the Participant’s Class Year Account, measured on the date of his or her Separation from Service, and shall be equal to 1/n (where ‘n’ is equal to the total number of annual benefit payments not yet distributed). Subsequent installment payments shall be computed in a consistent fashion, with the measurement date being the anniversary of the original measurement date and subsequent installment payments being made within 90 days of such anniversary date. Election of the form of the Separation from Service payment with respect to a Class Year Account must be provided to the Plan Administrator at the time required by Section 6.2 of this Plan. The Participant’s election of a Separation from Service payment form is irrevocable, except as provided in Section 6.2(b).

Effective with respect to a Participant’s Pre-2025 Class Year Accounts (as defined in Section 6.2(a)), in the event the Participant incurs a Separation from Service before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age, all of the Participant’s Pre-2025 Class Year Accounts shall be paid in the form of a lump sum payment within ninety (90) days after the Separation from Service, notwithstanding any election that the Participant has made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a distribution resulting from a Separation from Service by a Participant who is a Specified Employee on the date of Separation from Service shall be made within the ninety (90) days following the date that is 6 months after the Separation from Service or, if earlier, following the death of the Specified Employee as specified in Section 6.5. The first payment made following the 6‑month period described in the preceding sentence shall include all payments that otherwise would have been made after Separation from Service but for the delay required by this paragraph.

6.4Interim Distribution Date Payments. A Participant may make an election, at the time required by Section 6.2, to have his or her Class Year Account to which the election relates paid to him or her at an Interim Distribution Date designated by the Participant. Such Class Year Account shall be payable in a single cash lump sum payment or in annual installments of five (5) or ten (10) years, as elected by the Participant. Payments shall commence within ninety (90) days after the applicable Interim Distribution Date as designated by the Participant. If applicable, the initial installment shall be based on the value of the Participant’s Class Year Account, measured on the date of his or her designated Interim Distribution Date, and shall be equal to 1/n (where ‘n’ is equal to the total number of annual benefit payments not yet distributed). Subsequent installment payments shall be computed in a consistent fashion, with the measurement date being the anniversary of the original measurement date and subsequent installment payments being made within ninety (90) days of such anniversary date. Election of the form of the Interim Distribution Date payment must be provided to the Plan Administrator at the time required by Section 6.2 of this Plan. The Participant’s election of an Interim Distribution Date form is irrevocable, except as provided in Section 6.2(b).

For an election to commence distributions at an Interim Distribution Date, such elected Interim Distribution Date must occur before the Participant incurs a Separation from Service, death, or Disability or the occurrence of a Change in Control Event. Additionally, with respect to a Participant’s Pre-2025 Class Year Accounts (as defined in

Section 6.2(a)), in the event the Participant incurs a Separation from Service before the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age and after the commencement of an Interim Distribution Date, all of the Participant’s Pre-2025 Class Year Accounts that have commenced payment shall be paid in the form of a lump sum payment within ninety (90) days after the Separation from Service.

6.5Death Benefit. In the event of the Participant’s death, whether before or after the Participant has otherwise incurred a Distributable Event or commenced receiving payments from the Plan, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the balance of the Participant’s Account in a single lump-sum cash payment as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which death occurs.

6.6Disability Benefit. In the event that a Participant incurs a Disability, whether before or after the Participant has otherwise incurred a Distributable Event or commenced receiving payments from the Plan, the Participant shall receive the balance of the Participant’s Account in a single lump-sum cash payment within ninety (90) days of the Disability. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine whether the circumstances of the Participant constitute a Disability and the time at which such Disability occurs consistent with the terms of the Plan.

6.7Payment upon Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding any provision or election to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control Event, all amounts credited to each Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after the Change in Control Event.

Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, in the event that a Participant is an employee of an Affiliate, other than the Plan Sponsor, and the Affiliate has a Change of Control Event, all amounts credited to such Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after the Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, such distribution shall only occur if neither the Plan Sponsor nor an entity that is an Affiliate after such transaction employs the Participant after such transaction. For this purpose, an Affiliate shall be deemed to have a Change of Control Event with respect to any event that would be a Change of Control Event within the meaning of Section 1.9(a) or (c), if the term “Plan Sponsor” were replaced with the term “Affiliate” each time it is used therein.

6.8Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution. If a Participant has an Unforeseeable Emergency, as defined herein, the Plan Administrator may pay to the Participant that portion of his or her Account which the Plan Administrator determines is reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A. The amounts distributed to the Participant as a result of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not exceed the amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause

severe financial hardship) or by cancellation of Compensation Deferrals pursuant to Section 2.6. A Participant requesting an Unforeseeable Emergency Distribution shall apply for the payment in writing on a form approved by the Plan Administrator and shall provide such additional information as the Plan Administrator may require. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion to determine whether the financial hardship of the Participant constitutes an Unforeseeable Emergency under the Plan. If, subject to the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator, the request for a withdrawal is approved, the distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days after the date of approval by the Plan Administrator.

6.9Payment upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A. To the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, if the Plan Administrator determines at any time that the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A with respect to a Participant, the Plan Administrator shall distribute to the Participant the amount from the Participant’s Account that is required to be included in income as a result of such failure. Such payment shall be made in a single lump-sum payment upon such determination.

6.10Beneficiary Designation. Unless otherwise set forth in the Annual Enrollment Materials for a particular Taxable Year, a Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary and to amend or revoke such designation at any time in writing. Such designation, amendment or revocation shall be effective upon receipt by and acknowledgment from the Plan Administrator. If the Beneficiary is a minor or incompetent, benefits may be paid to a legal guardian, trustee, or other proper representative of the Beneficiary, and such payment shall completely discharge the Plan Sponsor and the Plan of all further obligations hereunder.

If no Beneficiary designation is made, if the Beneficiary designation is held invalid, or if no Beneficiary survives the Participant, and benefits are determined to be payable following the Participant’s death, the Plan Administrator shall direct that payment of benefits be made to the person or persons in the first of the below categories in which there is a survivor. The categories of successor beneficiaries, in order, are as follows:

(a)Participant’s Spouse;

(b)Participant’s Domestic Partner; and

(c)Participant’s estate.

6.11Claims Procedure. All claims for benefits under the Plan, and all questions regarding the operation of the Plan, shall be submitted to the Plan Administrator in writing. The Plan Administrator has complete discretion and authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan, and its decisions regarding claims for benefits hereunder are final and binding.

(a)Presentation of Claim. Any Participant, Beneficiary or person claiming benefits under the Plan (such Participant, Beneficiary or other person being referred to below as a “Claimant”) may deliver to the Plan Administrator a written claim for a determination with respect to benefits distributable to such Claimant from the

Plan. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the Claimant.

Any claim by a Participant that a payment made under the Plan is less than the amount to which the Participant is entitled must be made in writing pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within 180 days after the date of such payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, including the provisions of Section 5.1, a Participant shall forfeit all rights to any amounts claimed if the Participant fails to make claim as provided in the preceding sentence.

(b)Notification of Decision. The Plan Administrator shall consider a Claimant’s claim within a reasonable time, and shall notify the Claimant in writing:

(i)that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been allowed in full; or

(ii)that the Plan Administrator has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant:

(A)the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it;

(B)specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which such denial was based;

(C)a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

(D)a description of the claim review procedure set forth in Section 6.11(c) below, including information regarding any applicable time limits and a statement regarding the Claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse determination on review;

(E)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards, or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon during the claim or, alternatively, a statement that such criteria of the Plan do not exist;

(F)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following (1) the views of a health care professional who treated the Claimant, (2) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan (without regard to whether such advice was relied upon for

the decision), and (3) a determination by the Social Security Administration;

(G)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant and was based on a medical necessity, experimental treatment or similar exclusion/limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the decision (applying the terms of the Plan to Claimant’s medical circumstances) or a statement that Claimant can request a copy of such explanation, free of charge, upon request; and

(H)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, a statement that the Claimant may request access to, and copies of, all relevant documents, free of charge.

The Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of an adverse decision within ninety (90) days after the date the claim was received, unless the Plan Administrator determines there are special circumstances that require an extension of time in which to make a decision. If an extension of time is needed, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of the extension before the expiration of the original 90-day period. The notice will include a description of the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and an estimate of the date it expects a decision to be made. The extension shall not exceed an additional 90-day period.

If the adverse decision relates to a claim involving the Disability of the Participant, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant of an adverse decision within forty-five (45) days after the date the claim was received, unless the Plan Administrator determines that matters beyond its control require an extension of time in which to make a decision. If an extension of time is needed, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of the extension before the expiration of the original 45-day period. The notice will include a description of the circumstances necessitating the extension and an estimate of the date it expects a decision to be made. The extension shall not exceed an additional 30-day period unless, within the 30-day period the Plan Administrator again determines that more time is needed due to matters beyond its control, in which case notice of the need for not more than an additional thirty (30) days is provided to the Claimant before the first 30-day period expires. The notice will include a description of the circumstances requiring the extension and an estimate of the date it expects a decision to be made. Any extension notice will include information regarding the standards on which a determination of Disability will be made, the outstanding issues which prevent a decision from being made, and any additional information which is needed in order to reach a decision. The Claimant will have forty-five (45) days to supply any additional information.

If the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant of the need for an extension of time to make a decision regarding his or her claim in accordance with this

Section 6.11(b), and the extension is needed due to the Claimant’s failure to provide information necessary to decide the claim, the period of time in which the Plan Administrator must make a decision does not include the time between the date the notice of the extension was sent to the Claimant and the date the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.

(c)Review of a Denied Claim. Within sixty (60) days after receiving a notice from the Plan Administrator that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative) may file with the Plan Administrator a written request for a review of the denial of the claim. During the 60-day review period, the Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

(i)may review relevant documents;

(ii)may submit written comments or other documents relating to the claim;

(iii)may request access to and copies of all relevant documents, free of charge;

(iv)may request a hearing, which the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may grant.

The Plan Administrator will consider all documents and other information submitted by the Claimant in reviewing its previous decision, including documents not available to or considered by it during its initial determination.

If the appeal relates to a determination of the Plan Administrator involving the Disability of the Participant, the Claimant will have one-hundred-eighty (180) days following receipt of a denial to file a written request for review. In such event, no deference shall be given to the initial benefit determination, and the review shall be conducted by an appropriate fiduciary who is someone other than the individual who made the initial determination or a subordinate of such individual. If the initial determination was based in whole or in part on a medical judgment, the reviewer shall consult with an appropriately trained and experienced health care professional, and shall disclose the identity of any experts who provided advice with regard to the initial decision. The health care professional whose advice is sought during the appeal process will not be an individual who was consulted during the initial determination, nor a subordinate of such an individual. If the review includes new or additional evidence or rationale considered, relied upon, or generated by the Plan or reviewer, the reviewer shall provide the Claimant with such evidence or rationale, free of charge, sufficiently in advance of issuing a decision on review to allow Claimant time to respond prior to such date.

(d)Decision on Review. The Plan Administrator shall render its decision on review promptly, and not later than sixty (60) days after the filing of a written request for review of the denial, unless a hearing is held or other special circumstances require additional time, in which case the Plan Administrator’s decision must be

rendered within one-hundred-twenty (120) days after such date. If an extension of time is needed, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of the extension before the expiration of the original 60-day period. The notice will include a description of the circumstances requiring the extension and an estimate of the date it expects a decision to be made. Such decision must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and if the decision on review is adverse it must contain:

(i)specific reasons for the decision;

(ii)specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based;

(iii)a statement that the Claimant may receive, upon request and free of charge, access to and copies of relevant documents and information;

(iv)a statement describing any voluntary appeal procedures under the Plan and the Claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA Section 502(a) (and if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, a description of any applicable contractual limitation period that applies to the Claimant’s right to bring an action, including the calendar date on which such contractual limitation period expires);

(v)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, either the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Plan relied upon in denying the claim on appeal or, alternatively, a statement that such criteria of the Plan does not exist;

(vi)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, a statement that the Claimant and the Plan may have other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options, such as mediation, and that the Claimant may find out what options are available by contacting the local U.S. Department of Labor Office and the state insurance regulatory agency;

(vii)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant, a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following (A) the views of a health care professional who treated the Claimant, (B) the views of medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan (without regard to whether such advice was relied upon for the decision), and (C) a determination by the Social Security Administration;

(viii)if the decision involved the Disability of the Participant and was based on a medical necessity, experimental treatment or similar exclusion/limit, an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the decision (applying the terms of the Plan to Claimant’s medical circumstances) or a statement that Claimant can request a copy of such explanation, free of charge, upon request; and

(ix)such other matters as the Plan Administrator deems relevant.

If the appeal involves the Disability of the Participant, the decision of the Plan Administrator will be made within forty-five (45) days after the filing of the written request for review, unless special circumstances require additional time, in which case the Plan Administrator’s decision will be made within ninety (90) days after the date the request was filed. If an extension of time is needed, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Claimant of the extension before the expiration of the original 45-day period. The notice will include a description of the circumstances requiring the extension and an estimate of the date it expects a decision to be made.

If the Plan Administrator notifies the Claimant of the need for an extension of time to make a decision regarding his or her appeal in accordance with this Section 6.11(d), and the extension is needed due to the Claimant’s failure to provide information necessary to decide the appeal, the period of time in which the Plan Administrator must make a decision does not include the time between the date the notice of the extension was sent to the Claimant and the date the Claimant responds to the request for additional information.

(e)Legal Action. No individual claiming any benefit or right under the Plan may bring any legal action without first exhausting the claims and revise procedures described in this Section 6.11 and in any event later than earlier of (i) two (2) years after the claimant (or the Participant or Beneficiary on whose behalf the claim is being made) knew or exercising reasonable diligence should have known of the circumstances giving rise to the claim or (ii) one (1) year after the final decision on review under Section 6.11(d).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Sponsor shall have the right to amend this Plan in any manner whatsoever without the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and any binding guidance thereunder to avoid adverse tax consequences even if such amendment has the effect of reducing a vested benefit or existing right of a Participant or Beneficiary hereunder.

No oral statement regarding the Plan may be relied upon by a Participant or Beneficiary.

10.2Employment Rights. Neither the establishment of this Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any Trust or Account, nor the payment of any benefits, shall be construed as giving a Participant or other person a right to employment with the Plan Sponsor or any Affiliate or any other legal or equitable right against the Plan Sponsor of any Affiliate except as provided in the Plan. In no event shall the terms of employment of any Eligible Individual be modified or in any way be affected by the Plan.

10.3Non-Assignability. None of the benefits, payments, proceeds or claims of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal process by any creditor of such Participant or Beneficiary, nor shall any Participant or Beneficiary have the right to alienate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments or proceeds which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise under the Plan.

The Plan Sponsors or the trustee of the Trust, as the case may be, shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance. The Participant shall have no interest whatsoever in any such policy or policies, and at the request of the Plan Sponsor shall submit to medical examinations and supply such information and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to which the Plan Sponsor have applied for insurance.

10.8Governing Law. Construction, validity and administration of this Plan shall be governed by applicable Federal law and the law of the state of New York without regard to the

conflict of law provisions of such state law. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

Income Taxes	Aug. 31, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2024, was 30.0% of tax benefit compared with 22.1% of tax expense for the six months ended August 31, 2023. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2024, was 11.4% of tax benefit compared with 17.4% of tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2023. For the six months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to (i) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of the resolution of various tax examinations and assessments related to prior periods and (ii) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable for foreign businesses, partially offset by a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment. For the three months ended August 31, 2024, our effective tax rate did not approximate the federal statutory rate of 21% largely due to a net income tax impact resulting from the non-deductible portion of the Wine and Spirits goodwill impairment. For the six months ended August 31, 2023, 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 (i) the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses and (ii) a net income tax benefit recognized as a result of a change in tax entity classification. For the three months ended August 31, 2023, our effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the benefit of lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development introduced a framework under Pillar Two which includes a 15% global minimum tax rate. Many jurisdictions in which we do business have started to enact laws implementing Pillar Two. We are monitoring these developments and currently do not believe these rules will have a material impact on our financial condition and/or consolidated results.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted	ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE NOT YET ADOPTED Segment reporting In November 2023, the FASB issued a standard requiring disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the CODM as well as the title and position of the CODM. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2025, and interim periods beginning March 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this standard will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Income taxes In December 2023, the FASB issued a standard aimed at improving tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We are required to adopt these disclosures for our annual period ending February 28, 2026, with early adoption permitted and this standard may be applied retrospectively. We expect this standard to impact our disclosures with no material impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Climate In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require disclosures about certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order to stay the rules pending the completion of judicial review of multiple petitions challenging the rules. The rules will require disclosure of, among other things, material climate-related risks, how the board of directors and management oversee and manage such risks, and the actual and potential material impacts of such risks on us. The rules also require disclosure about material climate-related targets and goals, Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and the financial impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The SEC has indicated that it will publish a new effective date for the rules, if ultimately implemented, at the conclusion of the stay. These rules will be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of these rules on our SEC filings.

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 2024 Annual Report. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Reclassification We reclassified equity method investments to other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2024, to conform with current year presentation.
