G.Third-party production prepayments

 

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company brewed and packaged approximately 54% of its volume at Company-owned breweries.  In the normal course of its business, the Company has historically entered into various production arrangements with other brewing companies.  Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company generally supplies raw materials and packaging to those brewing companies, and incurs conversion fees for labor at the time the liquid is produced and packaged. The Company has made

payments for capital improvements at these third-party brewing facilities that it expenses over the period of the contracts. As of June 26, 2021, and December 26, 2020 total third-party production prepayments were as follows:

Effective March 27, 2021, the Company began classifying third-party production prepayments solely as non-current assets and reclassed the $14.8 million of third-party production prepayments at December 26, 2020 from current assets to non-current assets. The Company will expense the total prepaid amount of $88.7 million as a component of cost of goods sold over the contractual period ending December 31, 2025.

 

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company entered into a master transaction agreement with one of its existing brewing services providers to ensure access to capacity at a new location and continued access at certain existing locations.  Upon the closing of the purchase of the new location by the third-party brewing services provider, the agreement became effective during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. As part of the master transaction agreement, the Company paid $10.0 million for capital improvements for the new location, which is included within the third-party production prepayments balance as of June 26, 2021. The Company is required to pay an additional $17.9 million to ensure access to capacity once certain conditions are met. The agreement additionally includes monthly shortfall fees beginning January 1, 2023.  

 

During the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as a result of lower than anticipated demand for certain Truly brand styles and packages, the Company adjusted its volume plans for production at certain third-party facilities. This adjustment is expected to result in shortfall fees related to one facility of $0.6 million of which has been expensed during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. Based on current production volume projections, the Company believes that it will meet all other future annual volume commitments under its third party production arrangements and will not incur any additional shortfall fees. If future volume projections are further reduced-below the minimum annual volume commitments and the Company estimates that shortfall fees will be incurred, the Company will expense the estimated shortfall fees in the period when incurring the shortfall fees becomes probable.  As of June 26, 2021, if volume for the remaining term of the production arrangements was zero, the contractual shortfall fees would total $63.4 million through December 31, 2026.
