CEO AND CFO PERSPECTIVES
Molson Coors delivered against its revitalization plan in the
first quarter of 2022 as the Company continues driving towards its
goal of sustainable long-term top and bottom-line growth while
managing global inflationary pressures. The Company grew its top
line for a fourth consecutive quarter - the highest quarterly
top-line growth in over a decade. It grew revenue of its core
brands, Coors Light and Miller Lite, on the heels of doing the same
in 2021. Fewer on-premise restrictions led to significant growth in
European markets on the strength of flagship brands like Carling.
The global above premium portfolio continued to grow and reached
its highest percentage of total trailing twelve month net sales
since the 2016 MillerCoors acquisition fueled in part by the
national launch of Topo Chico Hard Seltzer.
Gavin Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer
Statement:
“The start of 2022 brought continued momentum for Molson Coors.
Many of our core brands continued to outperform their peers, we
again earned the largest growth in U.S. hard seltzers among major
brewers and our expansion beyond beer continued to track ahead of
our $1 billion revenue target. All were factors in delivering not
just a successful quarter, but the most quarterly top-line growth
this company has had in more than ten years."
Tracey Joubert, Chief Financial Officer Statement:
“We had a strong first quarter, delivering double-digit top and
bottom-line growth on a U.S. GAAP basis and triple-digit
bottom-line growth on an underlying basis. Our performance
benefited from strong pricing and sales mix and our efforts to
mitigate the challenging inflationary environment, while still
increasing investments behind our core brands and key innovations.
Under our revitalization plan, we have built a strong foundation
for future growth that has positioned us to manage through
challenging times. This gives us the confidence to reaffirm our
2022 guidance for top and bottom-line growth."

Our net sales per hectoliter performance

reflects owned or actively managed brand volume, along with royalty
volume, in the denominator, as well as the financial impact of
these sales (in constant currency) in the numerator, unless
otherwise indicated.
QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2021
RESULTS)
- Net sales: increased 16.7% on a reported basis, and
17.6% in constant currency primarily due to positive net pricing,
positive sales mix, including favorable brand mix from portfolio
premiumization and favorable channel mix from fewer on-premise
channel restrictions, as well as higher financial volumes.
Financial volumes increased 5.1%, primarily due to higher brand
volumes in EMEA&APAC, higher factored volumes and the cycling
of lower U.S. distributor inventory levels in the prior year
attributed to the March 2021 cybersecurity incident and the
February 2021 Fort Worth, Texas brewery shutdown due to a winter
storm, partially offset by lower brand volumes in the Americas.
Brand volumes increased 1.7% primarily due to a 19.8% increase in
brand volumes in EMEA&APAC, including the cycling of
significant on-premise closures that occurred during the first
quarter of 2021, particularly in the U.K. This was partially offset
by a 3.1% decrease in Americas brand volumes driven by a decline in
the economy portfolio including the de-prioritization and
rationalization of non-core SKUs, which more than offset growth in
the above premium portfolio. Net sales per hectoliter on a brand
volume basis in constant currency increased 10.2%, primarily due to
positive net pricing and favorable brand and channel mix resulting
from portfolio premiumization and fewer on-premise channel
restrictions.
- Cost of goods sold (COGS) per hectoliter: increased 4.9%
on a reported basis primarily due to cost inflation mainly on input
materials and transportation costs and the mix impacts of portfolio
premiumization and higher factored volumes, partially offset by
changes to our unrealized mark-to-market commodity positions, lower
depreciation expense and favorable foreign currency impact.
Underlying COGS per hectoliter: increased 8.6% in constant
currency due to cost inflation mainly on input materials and
transportation costs, as well as the mix impacts of portfolio
premiumization and higher factored brand volumes, partially offset
by lower depreciation expense.
- Marketing, general & administrative (MG&A):
increased 24.5% on a reported basis, which includes a $56 million
accrued liability related to potential losses as a result of the
ongoing Keystone litigation case. Underlying MG&A:
increased 15.7% in constant currency primarily due to higher
marketing spend to support core brands and new innovations,
increased local sponsorship and events as the pandemic related
restrictions have continued to ease, and the cycling of lower
people related costs, including travel and entertainment
costs.
- U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: increased
37.5% on a reported basis primarily due to higher net sales,
changes in our unrealized mark-to-market commodity positions and
lower depreciation expense, partially offset by cost inflation
mainly on input materials and transportation costs, higher general
and administrative costs driven by a $56 million accrued liability
related to potential losses as a result of the ongoing Keystone
litigation case, increased marketing investment behind our brands
and higher special items, net.
- Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: income of
$83.5 million improved $66.3 million from $17.2 million, primarily
due to higher net sales and lower depreciation expense, partially
offset by cost inflation, increased marketing investment behind our
brands and higher general and administrative costs.
QUARTERLY SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2021
RESULTS)
Americas Segment
- Net sales: increased 8.5% on a reported basis and 8.6%
in constant currency primarily due to positive net pricing and
favorable sales mix, partially offset by a 0.8% decrease in
financial volumes. Lower financial volumes were primarily due to
lower brand volumes, partially offset by the cycling of lower U.S.
distributor inventory levels in the prior year attributed to the
March 2021 cybersecurity incident and the February 2021 Fort Worth,
Texas brewery shutdown due to a winter storm. Americas brand
volumes decreased 3.1% primarily due to a 4.3% decline in the U.S.,
which was driven by a decline in the economy portfolio attributed
to the de-prioritization and rationalization of non-core SKUs,
partially offset by growth in the above premium portfolio driven by
hard seltzers. Canada brand volumes reflected softer industry
performance in the first quarter of 2022 and declined 4.5%, while
Latin America brand volumes grew 13.8%. Net sales per hectoliter on
a brand volume basis in constant currency increased 9.8% for the
Americas segment and 11.2% in the U.S. primarily due to positive
net pricing and favorable brand mix.
- U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: decreased
39.6% on a reported basis primarily due to a $56 million accrued
liability related to potential losses as a result of the ongoing
Keystone litigation case, higher marketing spend, cost inflation
mainly on input materials and transportation costs, higher special
items, net driven by a non-cash impairment charge taken on our
Truss LP joint venture asset group and lower financial volumes,
partially offset by positive net pricing, favorable sales mix and
lower depreciation expense. The increased marketing spend includes
higher spend behind innovation brands, Coors Light, and Miller
Lite, as well as higher localized spend as pandemic related
restrictions eased compared to the prior year.
- Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: increased
9.0% in constant currency primarily due to positive net pricing,
favorable sales mix and lower depreciation expense, partially
offset by increased marketing investment, cost inflation mainly on
input materials and transportation costs and lower financial
volumes.
EMEA&APAC Segment
- Net sales: increased 84.2% on a reported basis and 92.3%
in constant currency, primarily due to higher financial volumes,
favorable sales mix and positive net pricing. Financial volumes
growth of 29.4% was driven by brand volume growth of 19.8%,
primarily due to growth in our core brands and above premium
portfolio including the cycling of significant on-premise closures
that occurred during the first quarter of 2021, particularly in the
U.K., as well as higher factored volumes. Net sales per hectoliter
on a brand volume basis in constant currency increased 30.1%
primarily due to favorable sales mix as well as positive net
pricing.
- U.S. GAAP income (loss) before income taxes: loss of
$32.2 million improved 64.0% on a reported basis, primarily due to
higher financial volumes, favorable sales mix and positive net
pricing, partially offset by cost inflation mainly on input
materials and transportation costs and higher MG&A spend.
Higher MG&A spend was primarily due to increased marketing
spend to support our brands and the cycling of lower spend in the
prior year due to cost mitigation efforts.
- Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: loss of
$31.2 million improved 62.1% in constant currency, primarily due to
higher financial volumes, favorable sales mix and positive net
pricing, partially offset by cost inflation mainly on input
materials and transportation costs and higher MG&A spend.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY HIGHLIGHTS
- U.S. GAAP cash from operations: net cash used in
operating activities was $119.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2022, compared to $190.9 million in the prior year. The
decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to
the favorable timing of working capital payments driven by
increased MG&A spend and COGS inflation in the current year as
well as lower payments for incentive compensation and higher net
income, partially offset by timing of receipts due to higher
financial volumes.
- Underlying free cash flow: cash used of $358.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represents an increase in
cash used of $270.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to
higher capital spend, partially offset by lower cash used in
operating activities.
- Debt: Total debt at the end of the first quarter of 2022
was $7,313.4 million, and cash and cash equivalents totaled $358.7
million, resulting in net debt of $6,954.7 million and a net debt
to underlying EBITDA ratio of 3.28x. As of March 31, 2021, our net
debt to underlying EBITDA ratio was 3.74x.
- Dividends: On February 22, 2022, our Company's Board of
Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.38 per share, paid on
March 18, 2022, to shareholders of Class A and Class B common
stock. Shareholders of exchangeable shares received the CAD
equivalent of dividends declared on Class A and Class B common
stock, equal to CAD 0.48 per share.
- Share Repurchase Program: On February 17, 2022, our
Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program up
to an aggregate of $200 million of our Company's Class B common
stock through March 31, 2026, with repurchases primarily intended
to offset annual employee equity award grants. For the three months
ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 280,000 shares under the share
repurchase program at a weighted average price of $50.40 per share
for an aggregate value of $14.1 million.

See Appendix for definitions and

- The decrease in our first quarter U.S. GAAP effective
tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in net discrete tax
expense. We recognized discrete tax benefit of $0.9 million in the
first quarter of 2022 versus discrete tax expense of $18.1 million
in the prior year.
- The decrease in our first quarter underlying effective tax
rate was primarily due to higher underlying income before
income taxes in the first quarter of 2022 compared to prior year as
well as a decrease in net discrete tax expense. We recognized
discrete tax expense of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2022
compared to $14.1 million in the prior year. In addition, for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, there was a disproportionate
impact from the discrete tax expense recorded during the first
quarter on our underlying effective tax rate due to the lower
underlying income before income taxes for the first quarter of
2022.
Special and Other Non-Core Items
The following special and other non-core items have been
excluded from underlying results. See the Appendix for
reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.
- During the first quarter of 2022, we recognized net special
items charges of $27.6 million, primarily consisting of a
non-cash impairment on our Truss LP joint venture asset group
within our Americas segment.
- Additionally during the first quarter of 2022, we recorded
other non-core net benefits of $117.8 million consisting of
gains in our unrealized mark-to-market positions on commodity
hedges, partially offset by the recording of a charge related to
the ongoing Keystone litigation case. As of March 31, 2022, we
accrued a liability of $56.0 million within other liabilities on
our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as the best
estimate of probable loss in the Keystone litigation case based on
the jury verdict. However, the estimate of the loss could change
based on the progression of the case, including the resolution of
remaining defenses and other post-trial issues as well as any
appeals process. We will continue to monitor the status of the case
and will adjust the accrual in the period in which any significant
change occurs which could impact the estimate of loss.
2022 OUTLOOK
We continue to expect to achieve the following targets for full
year 2022. However, the inherent uncertainties that exist in the
macroeconomic environment, including significant cost inflation,
the extent and duration of the ongoing Québec collective bargaining
negotiations and related strike and the ongoing coronavirus
pandemic could impact our financial performance.
- Net sales: mid single-digit increase versus 2021 on a
constant currency basis.
- Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: high
single-digit increase compared to 2021 on a constant currency
basis.
- Deleverage: We expect to achieve a net debt to
underlying EBITDA ratio below 3.0x by the end of 2022.
- Underlying free cash flow: $1.0 billion, plus or minus
10%.
- Underlying depreciation and amortization: approximately
$750 million, plus or minus 5%.
- Consolidated net interest expense: approximately $265
million, plus or minus 5%.
- Underlying effective tax rate: in the range of 22% to
24% for 2022.
We repaid our $500 million 3.5% USD notes upon their maturity on
May 1, 2022 using a combination of commercial paper borrowings and
cash on hand.

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 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
is the distribution of beer, wine, spirits and other products owned
and produced by other companies to the on-premise channel, 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.
As part of the revitalization plan strategy to grow our above
premium portfolio and expand beyond the beer aisle, we have
de-prioritized and rationalized certain non-core economy SKUs. This
strategy is intended to drive sustainable net sales growth and
earnings growth, despite potential volume declines as the portfolio
mix shifts towards a higher composition of above premium
products.
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.
- Underlying Income (Loss) before Income Taxes (Closest GAAP
Metric: Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes) – Measure of
Company’s income (loss) before income taxes excluding the impact of
special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements as well as
other pre-tax non-core items. These pre-tax non-core items, as
referred to throughout the definitions below, include integration
related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses,
potential or incurred losses related to certain litigation accruals
and settlements and gains and losses on sales of non-operating
assets, among other items included in our U.S. GAAP results that
warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these
items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our
ongoing business performance and are often considered
non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve
significant management judgment.
- Underlying COGS (Closest GAAP Metric: COGS) – Measure of
Company’s COGS adjusted to exclude any special or non-core items
(as defined above) which impact the reported GAAP COGS balance.
These non-core items include the impact of unrealized
mark-to-market gains and losses on our commodity derivative
instruments, which are economic hedges, and are recorded through
COGS within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is
realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which
the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize
the economic effects of the derivatives without the resulting
unrealized mark-to-market volatility.
- Underlying MG&A (Closest GAAP Metric:
MG&A) – Measure of Company’s MG&A expense excluding the
impact of certain special and non-core items (as defined
above).
- Underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC (Closest
GAAP Metric: Net income (loss) attributable to MCBC) – Measure
of net income (loss) attributable to MCBC excluding the impact of
special and non-core items (as defined above), the related tax
effects of special and non-core items, and certain other discrete
and other non-core tax items.
- Underlying net income (loss) attributable to MCBC per
diluted share (Closest GAAP Metric: Net Income (Loss) attributable
to MCBC per diluted share)– Measure of underlying net income
(loss) attributable to MCBC as defined above per diluted
share.
- Underlying effective tax rate (Closest GAAP Metric:
Effective Tax Rate)– Measure of the Company’s effective tax
rate excluding the related tax impact of pre-tax special and
non-core items and certain other discrete and non-core tax items.
Discrete and other non-core tax items include significant tax audit
and prior year reserve adjustments, impact of significant tax
legislation and tax rate changes and significant non-recurring and
period specific tax items.
- Underlying free cash flow (Closest GAAP Metric: Net Cash
Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities) – Measure of the
Company’s operating cash flow calculated as Net Cash Provided by
(Used In) Operating Activities less Additions to Properties and
excluding the pre-tax impact of certain special and non-core items
(as defined above). We consider underlying free cash flow an
important measure of our ability to generate cash, grow our
business and enhance shareholder value, driven by core operations
and after adjusting for non-core items, which can vary
substantially from company to company depending upon accounting
methods and book value of assets and capital structure.
- Underlying depreciation and amortization (Closest GAAP
Metric: Depreciation & Amortization) – Measure of the
Company’s depreciation and amortization excluding the impact of
special and non-core items (as defined above). These adjustments
primarily consist of accelerated depreciation or amortization taken
related to the Company’s strategic exit or restructuring
activities.
- Net debt to underlying earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization ("underlying EBITDA")
(Closest GAAP Metrics: Cash, Debt, & Income (Loss) Before
Income Taxes) – Measure of the Company’s leverage calculated as
Net debt (defined as current portion of long-term debt and
short-term borrowings plus long-term debt less cash and cash
equivalents) divided by the trailing twelve month underlying
EBITDA. Underlying EBITDA is calculated as Net Income (Loss)
excluding Interest expense (income), income tax expense (benefit),
depreciation and amortization, and the impact of special and
non-core items (as defined above). This measure does not represent
the company’s maximum leverage ratio as defined under its revolving
credit facility, which allows for other adjustments in the
calculation of net debt to EBITDA.
- Constant currency - Constant currency is a non-GAAP
measure utilized to measure performance, excluding the impact of
translational and certain transactional foreign currency movements,
and is intended to be indicative of results in local currency. As
we operate in various foreign countries where the local currency
may strengthen or weaken significantly versus the U.S. dollar or
other currencies used in operations, we utilize a constant currency
measure as an additional metric to evaluate the underlying
performance of each business without consideration of foreign
currency movements. We present all percentage changes for net
sales, underlying COGS, underlying MG&A and underlying income
(loss) before income taxes in constant currency and calculate the
impact of foreign exchange by translating our current period local
currency results (that also include the impact of the comparable
prior period currency hedging activities) at the average exchange
rates during the respective period throughout the year used to
translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year
period. The result is the current period results in U.S. dollars,
as if foreign exchange rates had not changed from the prior year
period. Additionally, we exclude any non-operating transactional
foreign currency impacts, reported within the Other Income/Expense,
net line item, from our current period results.
Our guidance for any of the measures noted above are also
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been
adjusted for special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements
as well as other non-core items as described above. 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 special and other non-core items. By their
very nature, special and other non-core 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.

prior year reserve adjustments, impact of significant tax
legislation and tax rate changes and significant non-recurring and
period specific tax items.
(2)
The decrease in the tax effect of special
and other non-core items is primarily due to higher underlying
income before income taxes in the first quarter of 2022 compared to
prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there was a
disproportionate impact from the discrete tax expense recorded
during the first quarter on our underlying effective tax rate due
to the significantly lower underlying income before income taxes
for the first quarter of 2021.
(3)
The increase in discrete and other
non-core tax expense in 2022 compared to the decrease in 2021 is
primarily due to the removal of other non-core tax benefits in 2022
as compared to the removal of other non-core tax expense in
2021.
