CEO AND CFO PERSPECTIVES
Gavin Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer Statement:
"The macroeconomic environment and its broad effects on the beer industry and consumer, as well as competitive pressures in EMEA&APAC, impacted our financial results in the first quarter. Additionally, in the quarter we saw expected headwinds, namely cycling the prior year's significant inventory build in the U.S., the discontinuation of our contract brewing arrangements in the Americas, and transition fees related to Fever-Tree.
The global macroeconomic environment is volatile. Uncertainty around the effects of geopolitical events and global trade policy, including the impacts on economic growth, consumer confidence and expectations around inflation, and currencies has pressured the beer industry and consumption trends. Given the uncertainty is ongoing, we have adjusted our 2025 full year guidance.
In this environment, we remain focused on controlling what we can control. We have continued to make progress against our Acceleration Plan. Our core power brands remain healthy. We made a significant step forward in our premiumization initiatives and added meaningful scale to our nonalcoholic operations with our exclusive U.S. partnership with Fever-Tree, the world's leader of premium carbonated mixers. Further, we have strong plans for all of our key brands as we enter our peak selling season.
We are taking actions to help mitigate the short-term challenges in these uncertain times like reducing non-business critical discretionary spend and capital projects while continuing to support the medium and long-term health and growth objectives of the company."
Tracey Joubert, Chief Financial Officer Statement:
"We remain focused on continuing to improve the efficiency of our business through enhanced capabilities to drive margin expansion. Further, we are committed to protecting and growing our Underlying Free Cash Flow while making prudent capital allocation decisions that support our strategic growth initiatives and allow us to return cash to shareholders through a growing dividend and continued share repurchases."

Net sales decreased 12.3%, driven by lower financial volumes and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by favorable price and sales mix. Net sales decreased 11.5% in constant currency.
Financial volumes decreased 15.6%, primarily due to lower brand volumes, the cycling of a higher distributor inventory build in the prior year to mitigate the impact of the Fort Worth brewery strike that commenced in mid-February 2024 and an approximate 4% impact from lower contract brewing volume resulting from the exit of contract brewing arrangements in both the U.S. and Canada. Americas brand volumes decreased 7.4%, including an 8.8% decrease in the U.S., driven by the impacts of the macroeconomic environment resulting in industry softness, the cycling of double-digit growth in our core power brands in the prior year and one less trading day in the current quarter. Canada brand volumes decreased 2.7%.
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales by 4.1%, primarily due to favorable sales mix as a result of lower contract brewing volume and positive brand mix as well as increased net pricing.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY HIGHLIGHTS
2025 OUTLOOK
We have adjusted our 2025 guidance for certain key financial metrics due to the impacts of the global macroeconomic environment on the beer industry and consumer trends. While we have included in our guidance our best estimate of some of these factors, including the direct cost impacts from announced tariffs, the indirect effects of these trends are multi-faceted and include inherent uncertainties that could impact our financial performance beyond what is contemplated in our guidance.

Includes gross inter-segment volumes which are eliminated in the consolidated totals. |
Worldwide brand volume (or "brand volume" when discussed by segment) reflects owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets (net of returns and allowances), royalty volume and our proportionate share of equity investment worldwide brand volume calculated consistently with MCBC owned volume. Financial volume represents owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographical markets, net of returns and allowances as well as contract brewing, wholesale non-owned brand volume and company-owned distribution volume. Contract brewing and wholesale/factored volume is included within financial volume, but is removed from worldwide brand volume, as this is non-owned volume for which we do not directly control performance. Factored volume in our EMEA&APAC segment represents the distribution of beer, wine, spirits and other products owned and produced by other companies to the on-premise channel such as bars and restaurants, which is a common arrangement in the U.K. Royalty volume consists of our brands produced and sold by third parties under various license and contract brewing agreements and, because this is owned volume, it is included in worldwide brand volume. Our worldwide brand volume definition also includes an adjustment from Sales-to-Wholesaler ("STW") volume to Sales-to-Retailer ("STR") volume. We believe the brand volume metric is important because, unlike financial volume and STWs, it provides the closest indication of the performance of our brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends.
We also utilize COGS per hectoliter, as well as the year over year changes in this metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. This metric is calculated as COGS per our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations divided by financial volume for the respective period. We believe this metric is important and useful for investors and management because it provides an indication of the trends of sales mix and other cost impacts on our COGS.
NON-GAAP MEASURES AND RECONCILIATIONS
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we also use non-GAAP financial measures, as listed and defined below, for operational and financial decision making and to assess Company and segment business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. We have provided reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure.
Our management uses these metrics to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe these measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance.
Our guidance or long-term targets for any of the measures noted above are also non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been adjusted for non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. When we provide guidance for any of the various non-GAAP metrics described above, we do not provide reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjustment items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our Company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable efforts.

During the third quarter of 2024, we made the decision to wind down or sell certain U.S. craft businesses and related facilities within the Americas segment. As a result, we recorded employee-related and asset abandonment charges, including accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation of $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. |

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we made an investment in Fevertree Drinks plc and hold a minority interest. As a result, we recorded a gain of $25.7 million as an unrealized fair value adjustment. |
