Our Wine and Spirits Business further advanced its strategy with our largest higher-end brands delivering growth significantly above the category segments. Looking ahead, we remain confident that we can continue to build on our strong track-record of solid growth and value creation."

Bill Newlands

President and Chief Executive Officer

"The solid top-line performance of our Beer Business has given us confidence to again raise our outlook for the full-year increasing the low-end of our net sales and operating income growth ranges. And, the capacity added by productivity initiatives at our existing brewery operations gave us flexibility in our capex plans, yielding a higher free cash flow estimate for the year. We are also now on-track to surpass our goal to return $5 billion to shareholders by fiscal year-end upon payment of this quarter's declared dividend."

95.2		$1,752.6	$723.6
2.7%	5.7%	8%	(2%)

HIGHLIGHTS

• Constellation's Beer Business posted depletion growth of almost 6%, driven by the continued growth of Modelo Especial and strong momentum in the Modelo Chelada brands. Depletion volume selling days were flat year-over-year.
• In IRI channels, our Beer Business continued to outpace the entire beer and high-end categories in dollar sales growth and volume growth; Constellation was the #1 share gainer in market dollars for a sixth consecutive quarter, adding 1.5 points in the beer category and 2.3 points in the high-end segment, and now has 5 of the top 15 share gaining high-end brands.
• Modelo Especial grew depletions by over 4% and remained the #1 brand in the high-end and #1 brand share gainer in the entire U.S. beer category in IRI dollar sales.
• Modelo Chelada brands continued to be the #1 chelada in the U.S. beer market, posting over 40% depletion growth and held 60% market share of the entire chelada segment.
• Corona Extra reported depletion growth of more than 1% and remained the #3 share gainer in the entire U.S. beer category in IRI channels.
• Pacifico accelerated depletion growth to more than 40% and rose to #7 top share gainer in the U.S. beer category in IRI channels.

• Operating margin decreased 380 basis points to 37.5% as benefits from net sales growth were more than offset by increased raw materials, packaging, and logistics costs due to ongoing inflationary pressures, incremental operating costs from brewery capacity expansions, and increased marketing spend as a result of shifts in timing due to sports advertisement investments.
• The Beer Business now expects net sales and operating income growth of 9 - 10% and 4 - 5%, respectively, for fiscal 2023 reflecting the strong performance of the core beer portfolio.

1. Three months ended November 30, 2021, includes $17.4 million of net sales and $10.6 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the wine and spirits segment results due to the 2022 Wine Divestiture.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Constellation's Aspira portfolio (fine wine and craft spirits brands) posted 9% depletion growth, driven by 7% depletion growth from The Prisoner brand family and double-digit depletion growth from Mi CAMPO Tequila, High West Whiskey, and Casa Noble Tequila.
• In IRI channels, our premium wine and craft spirits portfolios outperformed their corresponding segments in dollar sales growth; our premium wine portfolio also gained share in the entire U.S. wine category.

• International tequila shipments grew five times, driven by the continued success of Casa Noble and Mi CAMPO in our targeted international metropolitan markets.
• Our DTC channels delivered organic net sales growth of 23%; our 3-Tier eCommerce continues to lead with dollar sales growth 9 points ahead of the market.
• Innovation in our Wine and Spirits Business continues to succeed with Kim Crawford Sparkling Prosecco as the #2 new wine brand and Meiomi Red Blend as the #2 new wine SKU.
• Operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 24.8% as benefits from mix improvement and a planned decrease in marketing spend were more than offset by decreased shipment volumes including the most recent wine divestiture, increased COGS driven by higher transportation costs, and increased compensation and benefit expenses primarily related to DTC investments.
• The Wine and Spirits Business continues to expect fiscal 2023 organic net sales decline of 0 - 2% and operating income growth of 3 - 5%; see Fiscal 2023 Guidance Assumptions under Outlook for more information.

outlook

The table sets forth management's current EPS expectations for fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 actual results, on a reported basis, a comparable basis, and a comparable basis excluding Canopy equity earnings (losses) and related activities.

	Reported Basis			Comparable Basis
				FY23 Estimate		FY22 Actual
	FY23 Estimate	FY22 Actual		(Excl. Canopy)	FY22 Actual	(Excl. Canopy)
Fiscal Year Ending February 28	$0.15 - $0.35	$(0.22)	$11.00 - $11.20	$10.20	$10.99

Fiscal 2023 Guidance Assumptions:

•Beer: net sales growth 9 - 10%; operating income growth 4 - 5%

• Wine and Spirits: organic net sales decline 0 - 2% and operating income growth 3 - 5%, excluding $44 million of net sales and $26 million of gross profit less marketing that are no longer part of the Wine and Spirits Business results

•Interest expense: approximately $390 - $400 million

•Tax rate: reported approximately 74%; comparable excluding Canopy equity earnings impact approximately 20%

•Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 186.5 million

•Operating cash flow: $2.6 - $2.8 billion

•Capital expenditures: $1.1 - $1.2 billion, including approximately $1.0 billion targeted for Mexico beer operations expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities

•Free cash flow: $1.5 - $1.6 billion

The reported basis EPS guidance includes the fiscal 2023 year to date Canopy equity earnings and related activities impact. Our guidance does not reflect future changes in the fair value of the company's investment in Canopy's warrants and debt securities. 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.

BEER BUSINESS CAPITAL EXPANSION

The company plans to invest in the next increment of capacity in Mexico that will provide the long-term flexibility needed to support the expected future growth of its high-end Mexican beer portfolio. As previously announced, total capital expenditures for the Beer Business are expected to be $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion over fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2026, with the majority of the spend expected to occur in the first three years of that timeframe. The investment will support the addition of up to 30 million hectoliters of modular capacity and includes the construction of a new brewery in Southeast Mexico in the state of Veracruz, as well as continued modular capacity expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities at the company's existing sites in Nava and Obregon.

As of August 31, 2022, we evaluated our equity method investment in Canopy and determined there was an other-than-temporary impairment based on several contributing factors, including: (i) the period of time for which the fair value had been less than the carrying value and the uncertainty surrounding Canopy's stock price recovering in the near-term, (ii) Canopy's goodwill impairment of their cannabis operations, and (iii) the uncertainty of U.S. federal cannabis permissibility. As a result, a $1,060.3 million impairment was recorded for the second quarter fiscal 2023, which is included above in the fiscal 2023 reported basis EPS outlook.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND

On January 4, 2023, Constellation's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.80 per share of Class A Common Stock payable on February 22, 2023, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 8, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Reported basis ("reported") are amounts as reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. 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, including statements regarding our business strategy, future operations, business, financial position, expected net sales and operating income, projected costs and expenses, expected effective tax rates and anticipated tax liabilities, estimated diluted EPS and shares outstanding, expected capital expenditures, operating cash flow, and free cash flow, future payments of dividends, amount, manner, and timing of share repurchases under the share repurchase authorization, consumer demand, ESG goals and efforts, and prospects, plans, and objectives of management, as well as information concerning expected actions of third parties, are forward-looking statements (collectively, "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 may reiterate the Projections. Prior to the start of the company's quiet period, which will begin at the close of business on February 28, 2023, the public can continue to rely on the Projections as still being Constellation's current expectations on the matters covered, unless the company publishes a notice stating otherwise. During Constellation's 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, investment, merger, or any other business combination, divestiture, restructuring or other strategic business realignments, financing or share repurchase that may be completed after the issuance of this release, or the amount of incremental contingent consideration payment paid or received in association with divestitures. The Projections should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results will in fact occur.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations, the Projections contained in this news release are subject to risk uncertainty, and possible variance from management's expectations regarding:

• water, agricultural and other raw material, and packaging material supply, production, and/or shipment difficulties which could adversely affect our ability to supply our customers;
• inflationary pressures and our ability to pass along rising costs to consumers through increased selling prices;
• actual impact to supply, production levels, and costs from global supply chain logistics, transportation challenges, wildfires, and severe weather events, due to, among other reasons, actual supply chain and transportation performance and the actual severity and geographical reach of wildfires and severe weather events;
• actual balance of supply and demand for our products and percentage of our portfolio distributed through any particular distributor;
• actual demand, net sales, channel proportions, and volume trends for our products;
• beer operations expansion, optimization, and/or construction activities, scope, capacity, costs (including impairments), capital expenditures, and timing due to, among other reasons, market conditions, our cash and debt position, receipt of required regulatory approvals in accordance with expected dates and terms, results of discussions with government officials in Mexico, the actual amount of non-recoverable brewery construction assets and other costs, and other factors determined by management;
• duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to new variants, vaccine efficacy and immunization rates, closures of non-essential businesses, which may include our manufacturing facilities, and other associated governmental containment actions, and the increase in cyber-security attacks that have occurred while non-production employees work remotely;
• impact of the military conflict in Ukraine and associated geopolitical tensions and responses, including on inflation, supply chains, commodities, energy, and cyber-security;
• amount, timing, and source of funds for any share repurchases, exact duration of share repurchase programs, and number of shares outstanding;
• amount and timing of future dividends which are subject to the determination and discretion of our Board of Directors and may be

impacted if our ability to use cash flow to fund dividends is affected by unanticipated increases in total net debt, we are unable to generate cash flow at anticipated levels, or we fail to generate expected earnings;

• fair value and accuracy of projections relating to the Canopy investment, including Canopy's plan to create an exchangeable share structure, conversion of our securities and related matters;
• amount of contingent consideration, if any, received in divestitures depending upon actual future brand performance;
• expected impacts of wine and spirits portfolio refinement activities;
• accuracy of supply projections, including relating to beer operations expansion, optimization, and construction activities, wine and spirits operating activities, product inventory levels, and glass sourcing;
• operating cash flow, free cash flow, effective tax rate, and capital expenditures to support long-term growth;
• accuracy of projections associated with market opportunities, new products, and previously announced acquisitions, investments, and divestitures;
• general economic, geopolitical, domestic, international, and regulatory conditions, world financial market instability, economic slowdown or recession, health epidemics or pandemics, litigation risks, unanticipated environmental liabilities and costs, or enhanced competitive activities;
• changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, accounting standards, elections, assertions, or policies, tax laws, or other governmental regulations, and other factors which could impact the company's reported financial position, results of operations, effective tax rate, or accuracy of any associated Projections;
• changes in interest rates and the inherent unpredictability of currency fluctuations, commodity prices, and raw materials;
• long-termimpacts of the reclassification; and
• other factors and uncertainties disclosed in company filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2022, which could cause actual future performance to differ from current expectations.
