AWARDS + RECOGNITION | ![]() | ![]() | “The double digit EPS growth we delivered in the second quarter is top-tier for consumer product companies. Constellation remains the high-end leader and the most significant growth contributor in the U.S. beer market, and we’re seeing strong growth trends for the super-premium plus segment of our wine portfolio. Our $4 billion investment in Canopy Growth provides us with a strong foothold in the emerging global cannabis market, which could be one of the most significant growth opportunities of the next decade.” | |||
The Beverage Information Group recognized Constellation Brands in October 2018 with six Growth Brands Awards for calendar year 2017: Modelo Especial Chelada, Modelo Especial, Modelo Negra, Corona Extra, Corona Light and Pacifico. | ||||||

• | The Modelo and Corona brand families drove strong portfolio performance and market share gains with depletion growth of 10%. |
• | The beer business achieved record operating margin of 41.3%, an increase of 10 basis points, as benefits from favorable pricing and operational performance were offset by higher transportation costs and marketing investments. |
• | Marketing as a percent of net sales increased to almost 9% for second quarter and nearly 10% for first half fiscal 2019. The increases are primarily driven by upfront marketing investments for the Corona Premier and Corona Familiar product introductions, as well as ongoing investments to sustain the growth momentum within the existing portfolio. The company continues to target fiscal 2019 marketing as a percent of net sales in the range of 9.5% - 10%. |
● Depletion growth for the Corona Brand family has accelerated from 4% for fiscal 2018 to 8% for first half fiscal 2019 driven by the new Corona Premier and Corona Familiar product launches, which continue to exceed expectations. ● During second quarter, the beer business was the number one share gainer in the U.S. beer industry driven by accelerating Corona brand family dollar trends and Modelo Especial’s position as the #1 growth brand in the market. | |

% Change | 8.8% | 0.2% | 9.3% | 8.5% |
• | Focus on higher retail price points for the wine business is paying off with strong depletion growth trends of more than 6% for the >$11 price category, driven by the Meiomi, Kim Crawford, Simi and Prisoner brands. |
• | Net sales benefited from strong shipment volume growth primarily due to timing, as shipments outpaced depletion volume to ensure the wine and spirits portfolio is well positioned heading into the holiday selling season; most of this shipment timing benefit is expected to reverse in third quarter. |
“Our share repurchases to date of more than $500 million reflect confidence in our ability to drive double digit EPS growth for our core business well into the future. And, our strong cash generation capabilities allow financial flexibility to make strategic investments in long-term growth opportunities that have the potential for significant upside.” | ![]() | |

● The wine and spirits business operating margin decreased 20 basis points to 26.1%, as higher COGS, driven primarily by increased grape and transportation costs, and marketing investments, were mostly offset by pricing and SG&A favorability. ● The wine and spirits innovation pipeline is driving growth and primed for the holiday selling season with brands like Meiomi Sparkling, The Snitch, Cooper & Thief Rye Barrel Aged Cabernet, as well as Black Box Spirits. | ||

OUTLOOK The table below sets forth management’s current EPS expectations for fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 actual results, both on a reported basis and a comparable basis. Excludes impact from the pending additional Canopy Growth investment. | ||||||||
Reported Basis | Comparable Basis | |||||||
FY19 Estimate | FY18 Actual | FY19 Estimate | FY18 Actual | |||||
Fiscal Year Ending February 28 | $14.10 - $14.25 | $11.47 | $9.60 - $9.75 | $8.70 | ||||
For fiscal 2019, the beer business continues to target net sales and operating income growth to be in the range of 9 - 11 percent. For the wine and spirits business, the company continues to expect net sales and operating income growth to be in the range of 2 - 4 percent. Fiscal 2019 guidance also includes the following current assumptions: | ||||||||
● Interest expense: $335 - $345 million ● Tax rate: approximately 18 percent ● Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 196 million; assumes no additional share repurchases for fiscal 2019 | ● Operating cash flow: $2.35 - $2.55 billion ● Capital expenditures: $1.15 - $1.25 billion, including approximately $900 million targeted for Mexico beer operations expansion activities ● Free cash flow: $1.2 - $1.3 billion | |||||||
The pending $4 billion Canopy Growth investment is expected to close at the end of October and to be financed using debt. The company estimates the interest expense associated with this transaction to approximate $60 million before tax with an approximate $0.25 - $0.30 impact on fiscal 2019 comparable basis EPS results. The company continues to evaluate the potential equity in earnings impact from the pending Canopy Growth investment and related items. In addition, Constellation’s reported EPS guidance does not assume future changes in the fair value of the company’s investments in Canopy Growth. |
