Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
On
April 4, 2019
, Constellation Brands, Inc. (“Constellation” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, issued a news release (the “release”) announcing its financial condition and results of operations as of and for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended
February 28, 2019
. A copy of the release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. The projections constituting the guidance included in the release involve risks and uncertainties, the outcome of which cannot be foreseen at this time; therefore, actual results may vary materially from these forecasts. In this regard, see the information included in the release under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements.”
The information in the release is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is not otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information may be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 only if and to the extent such subsequent filing specifically references the information incorporated by reference herein.
The release contains non-GAAP financial measures; in the release these are referred to as “comparable” or “organic” measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Comparable measures, including those presenting the impact of the Company’s equity method investment in Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy”), and organic net sales and operating income measures are provided because management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating the results and underlying business trends of the core operations of the Company and/or in internal goal setting. In addition, the Company believes this information provides investors valuable insight on underlying business trends and results in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance. As such, the following items, including any related income tax effect, are excluded from comparable basis results, when appropriate: accelerated depreciation in connection with certain restructuring and other strategic business development costs; settlements of undesignated commodity derivative contracts; flow through of inventory step-up associated with acquisitions; loss on inventory write-down; net gain (loss) on the mark to fair value of undesignated commodity derivative contracts; certain other cost of product sold losses; impairment of certain intangible assets; net loss on change in fair value of derivative instrument entered into to hedge the U.S. dollar cost of a foreign currency denominated investment; restructuring and other strategic business development costs; a prior period adjustment for deferred compensation related to certain employment agreements; transaction, integration and other acquisition-related costs recognized in connection with acquisitions and investments; loss associated with the restructuring of an agreement; net costs in connection with the sale of the Canadian wine business and related activities; certain other selling, general and administrative gains; unrealized net gain from the mark to fair value of securities measured at fair value and related activities; net gain on the sale of our remaining interest in our previously-owned Australian and European business; other net gains related to an equity method investment; net gain on change in fair value of a derivative instrument entered into to hedge the Company’s exposure to interest rate volatility associated with debt financing of investment; bridge commitment fees associated with debt financing of investment; loss on extinguishment of debt; net income tax benefit recognized for the reversal of a valuation allowance originally established in connection with a change in accounting principle; and net income tax benefit recognized in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In addition, comparable measures for Canopy equity losses, including any related income tax effect, are also excluded from certain comparable basis results. The Company has signed an agreement to sell a portion of its wine and spirits business which is expected to close at the end of the Company’s first quarter ended May 31, 2019 (the “Wine and Spirits Transaction”).
Accordingly, for the indicated period, organic net sales and operating income measures exclude the estimated net sales and associated operating income for the products expected to be divested as part of the Wine and Spirits Transaction.

FISCAL YEAR 2019 HIGHLIGHTS
|
|
|
|
•
|
Constellation’s Beer portfolio was the
#1 growth contributor
to the U.S. beer market with all import brand families achieving record volume levels.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Corona brand family
shipment volume reached the 150 million case milestone and the
Modelo brand family
crossed the 125 million case mark, driving strong portfolio performance and share gains with depletion growth of 7% and 12%, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Held gross margin of
54.4%
in a rising cost environment.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Operating margin decreased slightly to
39.3%
, as favorable pricing was more than offset by higher marketing spend and transportation costs.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Marketing as a percent of net sales increased 30 basis points to 9.3% driven primarily by marketing initiatives for successful brand innovation launches.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Combined Nava and Obregon
brewery capacity reaches 34 million hectoliters
with completion of final capacity expansion at Nava Brewery.
|
FOURTH QUARTER 2019 HIGHLIGHTS
|
|
|
|
•
|
Strong portfolio depletion performance was driven by the
Modelo
and
Corona
brand families
.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
The beer business was the top U.S. share gainer during the winter holiday season driven by
Modelo Especial
,
Corona Premier
and
Corona Familiar
.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Q4 shipment volume was strong and exceeded expectations primarily due to timing. February 2019 distributor inventory levels are higher than planned due to muted depletion trends at the end of the quarter driven primarily by poor weather conditions for the West Coast during February. This shipment timing benefit is expected to reverse during fiscal 2020.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Operating margin increased
250
basis points to
40.5%
, as benefits from pricing and lower marketing spend were partially offset by higher transportation costs.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Marketing as a percent of net sales was 6.4% versus 8.0% for fourth quarter fiscal 2018.

FISCAL YEAR 2019 HIGHLIGHTS
|
|
|
|
•
|
While depletion performance was below expectations, efforts to increase points of distribution for key brands has resulted in double-digit distribution gains for
Kim Crawford
,
Meiomi
,
Ruffino Sparkling
,
Cooper & Thief
and
High West
, which positions the higher-end of the portfolio for improved marketplace performance heading into fiscal 2020.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Innovation efforts are paying off with
Robert Mondavi Private Selection Rum Barrel Aged Merlot
showing momentum in the marketplace, and strong depletion growth for brands including
7 Moons
and
Cooper & Thief
, which was the
#1 growth driver
in the Super Luxury Wine Segment.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Operating margin decreased
70
basis points to
26.5%
, reflecting higher COGS driven primarily by increased grape and transportation costs, and unfavorable mix, partially offset by favorable pricing.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Shipment volume exceeded depletions volume, which is expected to reverse in first quarter fiscal 2020.

Several high-end wine and spirits brands posted double-digit consumer takeaway trends in IRI channels including
Kim Crawford

Meiomi

Prisoner
portfolio and
High West
.

Fiscal Year 2020 Guidance Assumptions
|
|
|
●
Beer: net sales and operating income growth 7 - 9%
●
Wine and Spirits: net sales decline 25 - 30% and operating income decline 30 - 35%
●
Interest expense: $420 - $430 million; includes incremental interest of $105 million associated with the financing of the 2018 Canopy investment
●
Tax rate: approximately 17%
|
●
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 195 million; assumes no share repurchases for fiscal 2020
●
Operating cash flow: $1.9 - $2.1 billion
●
Capital expenditures: $800 - $900 million, including approximately $600 million targeted for Mexico beer operations expansion activities
●
Free cash flow: $1.1 - $1.2 billion
|
|
Additionally, the company continues to evaluate the future potential equity earnings impact from the Canopy equity method investment and related activities and, as such, these items have been excluded from the guidance assumptions noted above. The EPS guidance also does not assume future changes in the fair value of the company’s investments in Canopy’s warrants and convertible debt securities.
|
The wine and spirits guidance includes the estimated impact from the wine and spirits transaction to sell a portion of the business to E. & J. Gallo Winery for $1.7 billion, subject to closing adjustments (the “Transaction”), but excludes any expected gain or loss. Proceeds from the Transaction are expected to be used primarily for the repayment of debt. This is expected to have an approximate $40 million favorable impact on fiscal 2020 interest expense, which is included in the guidance assumptions noted above. The Transaction is expected to close at the end of first quarter fiscal 2020. See related press release issued April 3, 2019. The following table presents selected wine and spirits segment financial information included in our historical consolidated financial statements that will no longer be part of our consolidated results after the Transaction.

As a result of the Transaction, a cost reduction plan is expected to be implemented for fiscal 2020 and 2021 to address stranded costs. The table below sets forth management’s current estimate of the total annual stranded costs expected from the Transaction, and the estimated fiscal year timing of when these costs will be removed from our remaining wine and spirits business. Amounts shown for fiscal 2020 are included in the guidance assumptions noted above.

We expect to incur a restructuring charge for first quarter fiscal 2020 after the development of the cost reduction plan. We have not included this in the guidance assumptions noted above. This expected charge will be excluded from comparable basis results.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Reported basis (“reported”) are amounts as reported under generally accepted accounting principles. Comparable basis (“comparable”) are amounts which exclude items that affect comparability (“comparable adjustments”), as they are not reflective of core operations of the segments. The company’s measure of segment profitability excludes comparable adjustments, which is consistent with the measure used by management to evaluate results. The company discusses various non-GAAP measures in this news release. Financial statements, as well as supplemental schedules and tables reconciling non-GAAP measures, together with definitions of these measures and the reasons management uses these measures, are included in this news release.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements made under the heading Outlook, and all statements other than statements of historical fact set forth in this news release regarding Constellation Brands’ business strategy, future operations, future financial position, expected effective tax rates and anticipated tax liabilities, estimated revenues, projected costs, expected net sales and operating income, estimated diluted EPS, expected cash flow, future payments of dividends, prospects, plans and objectives of management, and manner and timing of share repurchases pursuant to the share repurchase authorization, as well as information concerning expected actions of third parties, are forward-looking statements (collectively, the “Projections”) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the Projections.
During the current quarter, Constellation Brands may reiterate the Projections. Prior to the start of the company’s quiet period, which will begin at the close of business on
May 31, 2019
, the public can continue to rely on the Projections as still being Constellation Brands’ current expectations on the matters covered, unless the company publishes a notice stating otherwise. During Constellation Brands’ “quiet period,” the Projections should not be considered to constitute the company’s expectations and should be considered historical, speaking as of prior to the quiet period only and not subject to update by the company.
The Projections are based on management’s current expectations and, unless otherwise noted, do not take into account the impact of any future acquisition, merger or any other business combination, divestiture, restructuring or other strategic business realignments, financing or share repurchase that may be completed after the date of this release. The Projections should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results will in fact occur. The pending Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, receipt of required regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance the Transaction will occur or will occur on the terms or timetable contemplated hereby.
In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations, the Projections of the company contained in this news release are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including:
|

|
completion of the pending Transaction;

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in millions, except per share data)
(unaudited)
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). However, non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation tables below, are provided because we use this information in evaluating the results of our core operations and/or internal goal setting. In addition, we believe this information provides investors valuable insight on underlying business trends and results in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance. See the tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to our website at http://www.cbrands.com/investors/reporting for a more detailed description and further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures.

These gains were partially offset by transaction and other acquisition-related costs recognized in connection with the November 2018 investment in Canopy, including (i) a net loss on the settlement of foreign currency option contracts entered into to fix the U.S. dollar cost of the transaction, (ii) bridge commitment fees associated with debt financing of our investment and (iii) direct acquisition costs.

Free Cash Flow Guidance
Free cash flow, as defined in the reconciliation below, is considered a liquidity measure and is considered to provide useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated, which can then be used, after required debt service and dividend payments, for other general corporate purposes. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flow from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.
