NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2016
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “CBI,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Constellation Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016 (the “2016 Annual Report”). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
2. INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily computed in accordance with the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Elements of cost include materials, labor and overhead and consist of the following:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
Overview –
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2016. For the three months ended November 30, 2016, in connection with the Canadian Divestiture (as defined in Note 5), we entered into economic hedges totaling an aggregate notional value of C$550.0 million to minimize the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the expected proceeds from the Canadian Divestiture. As of November 30, 2016, these derivative instruments had a fair value of $3.3 million, which was recorded in prepaid expenses and other, with the change in fair value recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

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

Commodity derivative contracts | $ | 168.7 | $ | 198.7 | |||
Interest rate swap contracts | $ | — | $ | 1,000.0 |
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 November 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of derivative instruments in a net liability position due to counterparties was $98.3 million. If we were required to settle the net liability position under these derivative instruments on November 30, 2016, we would have had sufficient availability under our 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 and requires disclosures about fair value measurements for financial instruments. This guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. It establishes 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 interest rates and yield curves that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
• | Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. |
Fair value methodology and assumptions –
The methods and assumptions we use to estimate the fair value for each class of our financial instruments are presented in Notes 1 and 7 of our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report and have not changed significantly for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2016. The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable to banks, approximate fair value as of November 30, 2016, and February 29, 2016, due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

(2) | Preliminary purchase accounting allocations associated primarily with the acquisitions of Prisoner, High West and Charles Smith (all as defined below) (Wine and Spirits). |
As of November 30, 2016, and February 29, 2016, we have accumulated impairment losses associated with goodwill assigned to our Wine and Spirits’ Canadian reporting unit of C$289.1 million, or $215.2 million and $213.5 million, respectively.
Acquisitions –
High West:
In October 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred membership interests of High West Holdings, LLC for $136.5 million, net of cash acquired, subject to post-closing adjustments (“High West”). This transaction primarily includes the acquisition of operations, goodwill, trademarks, inventories and property, plant and equipment. This acquisition includes a portfolio of craft whiskeys and other select spirits. The results of operations of High West are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Charles Smith:
In October 2016, we acquired the Charles Smith Wines, LLC business, a collection of five super and ultra-premium wine brands, for $120.8 million (“Charles Smith”). This transaction primarily includes the acquisition of goodwill, trademarks, inventories and certain grape supply contracts. The results of operations of Charles Smith are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Prisoner:
In April 2016, we acquired The Prisoner Wine Company business, consisting primarily of goodwill, inventories, trademarks and certain grape supply contracts, for $284.9 million (“Prisoner”). This transaction primarily includes the acquisition of a portfolio of five super-luxury wine brands. The results of operations of Prisoner are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Ballast Point:
In December 2015, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common and preferred stock of Home Brew Mart, Inc. d/b/a/ Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits (“Ballast Point”). The following table summarizes the allocation of the estimated fair value for the significant assets acquired:
(in millions) | |||
Goodwill | $ | 763.2 | |
Trademarks | 222.8 | ||
Other | 14.0 | ||
Total estimated fair value | 1,000.0 | ||
Less – cash acquired | (1.5 | ) | |
Purchase price | $ | 998.5 |
Goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future growth opportunities associated with the acquisition of a high-growth premium platform that enables us to compete in the growing craft beer category, further strengthening our position in the high-end U.S. beer market. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of Ballast Point are reported in the Beer segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Meiomi:
In August 2015, we acquired the Meiomi wine business, consisting primarily of goodwill, inventories, the trademark and certain grape supply contracts, for $316.2 million (“Meiomi”). The results of operations of Meiomi
9
are reported in the Wine and Spirits segment and have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Divestiture –
Canadian Divestiture:
On December 17, 2016, we sold our Canadian wine business, which includes Canadian wine brands such as Jackson-Triggs and Inniskillin, wineries, vineyards, offices, facilities and Wine Rack retail stores, at a transaction value of C$1.04 billion, or $776.2 million, (the “Canadian Divestiture”). We received cash proceeds of C$775.1 million, or $581.2 million, net of outstanding debt of C$260.0 million, or $195.0 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. We expect to recognize a net gain in connection with the Canadian Divestiture for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Our preliminary estimate of this net gain is approximately $255 million.
As previously discussed, in connection with the Canadian Divestiture, we entered into economic hedges to minimize the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the expected proceeds from the Canadian Divestiture. As of November 30, 2016, these derivative instruments had a fair value of $3.3 million. At closing, these derivative instruments had a fair value of $4.6 million. In addition, our Wine and Spirits’ U.S. business expects to recognize an impairment of $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 for trademarks associated with certain U.S. brands sold exclusively through the Canadian wine business, which we no longer expect to sell subsequent to the Canadian Divestiture.
As of November 30, 2016, in connection with the Canadian Divestiture, we had $165.5 million of net assets held for sale reported within the Wine and Spirits segment. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as of November 30, 2016, are presented below. Amounts presented below are included within the respective line on our balance sheet.

• | The creation of a new $700.0 million European Term A-1 loan facility maturing on March 10, 2021; |
• | An increase of the European revolving commitment under the revolving credit facility by $425.0 million to $1.0 billion; |

• | The creation of a new $400.0 million European Term A-2 loan facility with CIH as the borrower, maturing on March 10, 2021; |
• | An adjustment of the Incremental Facilities (as defined below) from a fixed amount to a flexible amount; |
• | The addition of CB International as a new borrower under the European revolving commitment; and |
• | The entry into an amended and restated cross-guarantee agreement by the European Borrowers whereby each guarantees the others’ obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement. |
In addition, the European obligations under the 2016 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries. These obligations are also secured by a pledge of (i) 100% of certain interests in certain of the European Borrowers’ subsidiaries and (ii) 100% of the ownership interests in certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the ownership interests in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

The 2016 Credit Agreement also permits us to elect, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase or term loans and other customary conditions, to increase the revolving credit commitments or add one or more tranches of additional term loans (the “Incremental Facilities”). The Incremental Facilities may not exceed $750.0 million plus an unlimited amount so long as our leverage ratio, as defined and computed pursuant to the 2016 Credit Agreement, is no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 for the period defined pursuant to the 2016 Credit Agreement.

Interest rate swap contracts –
In April 2012, we entered into interest rate swap agreements which fixed our interest rates on $500.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt at an average rate of 2.8% (exclusive of borrowing margins) through September 1, 2016. We have entered into additional interest rate swap agreements which fixed our interest rates on $250.0 million of our floating LIBOR rate debt at an average rate of 1.1% (exclusive of borrowing margins) from September 1, 2016, through July 1, 2020.
Senior notes –
In August 2006, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Senior Notes due September 2016 (the “August 2006 Senior Notes”). On August 30, 2016, we repaid the August 2006 Senior Notes primarily with cash flows from operating activities.
In December 2016, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Senior Notes due December 2026 (the “December 2016 Senior Notes”). Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $594.7 million. Interest on the December 2016 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on June 6 and December 6 of each year, beginning June 6, 2017. The December 2016 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to September 6, 2026, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment based on the present value of the future payments at the adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points. On or after September 6, 2026, we may redeem the December 2016 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The December 2016 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Certain of our U.S. subsidiaries guarantee the December 2016 Senior Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
Other –
Canadian credit agreement:
In June 2016, through a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ours, we entered into a new secured Canadian credit agreement which provided for a C$275.0 million term loan facility ($214.1 million at issuance) and a C$50.0 million revolving credit facility which was undrawn at issuance (the “Canadian Credit Agreement”). The interest rate varied based on the subsidiary’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Canadian Credit Agreement) and was a function of a base rate plus a margin. As of November 30, 2016, under the Canadian Credit Agreement, there were outstanding term loan borrowings of C$275.0 million, or $204.7 million (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million), bearing an interest rate of 2.6%. There were no outstanding revolver borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement as of November 30, 2016. In connection with the Canadian Divestiture in December 2016, our obligations associated with the Canadian Credit Agreement terminated.
14
Other long-term debt:
We have outstanding borrowings with our glass production plant joint venture partner, Owens-Illinois, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2016, in accordance with our consolidation of this variable interest entity. These borrowings have a maturity date of December 2064 with both a fixed and variable interest rate component. The variable interest rate is based upon certain performance measures as defined in the contractual agreement. As of November 30, 2016, amounts outstanding under the contractual agreement were $168.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.0%.
Accounts receivable securitization facilities:
On September 27, 2016, we amended our prior trade accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended, the “CBI Facility”) for an additional 364-day term. Under the CBI Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by us and certain of our subsidiaries are sold by us to a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary, the CBI SPV, which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. The CBI Facility provides borrowing capacity of $235.0 million up to $340.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of our business, subject to further limitations based upon various pre-agreed formulas. The remaining provisions of the CBI Facility are substantially identical in all material respects to the prior CBI facility.
Also, on September 27, 2016, Crown Imports amended its prior trade accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended, the “Crown Facility”) for an additional 364-day term. Under the Crown Facility, trade accounts receivable generated by Crown Imports are sold by Crown Imports to its wholly-owned bankruptcy remote single purpose subsidiary, the Crown SPV, which is consolidated by us for financial reporting purposes. The Crown Facility provides borrowing capacity of $120.0 million up to $210.0 million structured to account for the seasonality of Crown Imports’ business. The remaining provisions of the Crown Facility are substantially identical in all material respects to the prior Crown facility.
As of November 30, 2016, our accounts receivable securitization facilities are as follows:

8. INCOME TAXES:
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2016, and November 30, 2015, was 26.7% and 29.2%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2016, and November 30, 2015, was 16.3% and 32.1%, respectively.
Our effective tax rates for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2016, were lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a change in our assertion regarding our ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2015, was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to decreases in uncertain tax positions and lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2015, was lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses.
We have historically provided deferred income taxes for the repatriation to the U.S. of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. In connection with the agreement to divest the Canadian wine business and the ongoing Beer capacity expansion activities in Mexico, including the agreement to acquire the Obregon Brewery (as defined in Note 15), we changed our assertion regarding our ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries during the three months ended November 30, 2016. Approximately $380 million of our estimated earnings for the year ending February 28, 2017, and all future earnings for these foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Our current U.S. cash flow estimates, including proceeds from the Canadian
15
Divestiture, and available borrowing capacity are expected to be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs. Our intent to repatriate historical foreign earnings prior to our third quarter assertion remains unchanged and accordingly, we continue to provide for anticipated tax liabilities on amounts that are still expected to be repatriated to support our U.S. investments in the future.
Because of this assertion, we revised our estimated effective tax rate for the year ending February 28, 2017. Due to the reduction in the full year tax rate, the income tax expense for the three months ended November 30, 2016, includes the effect of this revised tax rate on our cumulative earnings through August 31, 2016. We did not provide income taxes on the indefinitely reinvested earnings. If at some future date these earnings cease to be indefinitely reinvested and are repatriated, we may be subject to additional U.S. income and other taxes on such amounts of approximately $100 million. We continue to provide deferred income taxes, as required, on the undistributed net earnings of those foreign subsidiaries that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.
9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
In April 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2013 Authorization”). The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2013 Authorization have become treasury shares.
Additionally, in November 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Convertible Common Stock (the “2017 Authorization”). The Board of Directors did not specify a date upon which this authorization would expire. Shares repurchased under the 2017 Authorization have become treasury shares.
For the nine months ended November 30, 2016, we repurchased 2,412,193 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the 2013 Authorization at an aggregate cost of $372.6 million through open market transactions. Subsequent to November 30, 2016, we utilized the remaining $296.9 million available under the 2013 Authorization to repurchase 1,988,311 shares of Class A Common Stock through open market transactions.
