As of October 31, 2024, the following number of exchangeable shares were outstanding for Molson Coors Canada, Inc.:
Class A Exchangeable shares — 2,678,963 shares
Class B Exchangeable shares — 7,205,946 shares
The Class A exchangeable shares and Class B exchangeable shares are shares of the share capital in Molson Coors Canada Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. They are publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols TPX.A and TPX.B, respectively. These shares are intended to provide substantially the same economic and voting rights as the corresponding class of Molson Coors common stock in which they may be exchanged. In addition to the registered Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, the registrant has also issued and outstanding one share each of a Special Class A voting stock and Special Class B voting stock. The Special Class A voting stock and the Special Class B voting stock provide the mechanism for holders of Class A exchangeable shares and Class B exchangeable shares to be provided instructions to vote with the holders of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock, respectively. The holders of the Special Class A voting stock and Special Class B voting stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding Class A exchangeable share and Class B exchangeable share, respectively, excluding shares held by the registrant or its subsidiaries, and generally vote together with the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, on all matters on which the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to vote. The Special Class A voting stock and Special Class B voting stock are subject to a voting trust arrangement. The trustee which holds the Special Class A voting stock and the Special Class B voting stock is required to cast a number of votes equal to the number of then-outstanding Class A exchangeable shares and Class B exchangeable shares, respectively, but will only cast a number of votes equal to the number of Class A exchangeable shares and Class B exchangeable shares as to which it has received voting instructions from the owners of record of those Class A exchangeable shares and Class B exchangeable shares, other than the registrant or its subsidiaries, respectively, on the record date, and will cast the votes in accordance with such instructions so received.

On July 18, 2024, our Company's Board of Directors ("Board") declared a dividend of $0.44 per share, paid on September 20, 2024 to shareholders of Class A and Class B common stock of record on August 30, 2024. Shareholders of exchangeable shares received the CAD equivalent of dividends declared on Class A and Class B common stock, equal to CAD 0.60 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, dividends declared to eligible shareholders were $1.32 per share, with the CAD equivalent equal to CAD 1.78 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2023, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of our Company's Class B common stock, excluding brokerage commissions and excise taxes, with an expected program term of five years. This repurchase program replaces and supersedes any repurchase program previously approved by our Board.
The following table presents the shares repurchased and aggregate cost, including brokerage commissions and excise taxes incurred, under the current and superseded share repurchase programs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Non-Cash Activity
Non-cash investing activities include movements in our guarantee of indebtedness of certain equity method investments. See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion. We also had non-cash activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $119.7 million and $168.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, we had non-cash activities related to certain issuances of share-based awards.
Other than the activity mentioned above and the supplemental non-cash activity related to the recognition of leases further discussed in Note 6, "Leases" there was no other significant non-cash activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables was $13.4 million and $12.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Supplier Financing
We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. with $172.8 million and $147.5 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisition
On August 7, 2023, we acquired a 75% equity interest in Blue Run Spirits, Inc., a U.S. based high end whiskey business, for a purchase price of $77 million, which included cash paid of $64 million. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond the beer aisle and enhance our presence in the spirits category.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with $88 million allocated to a definite-lived brand intangible asset to be amortized over a 15-year period and the remainder primarily allocated to other working capital balances and goodwill for the amount in excess of the net identifiable assets acquired. An NCI was recognized at fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets based on the contractual terms of the agreement. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the impact is not material to our results of operation or financial position.
Purchases of Annuity Contracts
On September 26, 2024, we purchased annuity contracts for two of our Canadian pension plans which transferred approximately $344 million of pension plan liabilities, along with the associated administration of benefits, to an insurance company using the plan's respective pension plan assets. This transaction had no impact on the amount, timing or form of the retirement benefit payments to the affected retirees and beneficiaries. As a result of the transaction, we reduced the respective pension plan liabilities and assets and remeasured any remaining pension plan liabilities and assets using updated actuarial assumptions. We elected the practical expedient to perform the remeasurement as of the nearest calendar month-end date, which was September 30, 2024. A total settlement loss of $34.0 million was recorded to other pension and postretirement benefit (costs), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of 2024. See the impacts of the pension plan remeasurement and settlement on AOCI in Note 11, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)."

Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. Buyout
Out of Period Adjustment
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we identified certain errors in the historical accounting for NCI with redemption features outside of our control under the terms of our Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K." or "CBPL") partnership agreement and within certain other immaterial investments. Since the inception of these partnerships dating back to as early as 2002, we had historically accounted for the NCI within permanent equity with no adjustments to redemption value. Rather, our partners' shares should have been presented as redeemable NCI through the date of exercise of the redemption feature, with adjustments to the redemption value being recorded each reporting period as necessary. Specific to CBPL, since the option redemption price was not at fair value, the historical adjustments should have been recorded to net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, based on our accounting policy to reflect the entire change in the redemption amount as a deemed dividend and earnings per share adjustment (resulting from the redemption feature) as part of the attribution of consolidated net income to the noncontrolling interest (as reported on the face of the income statement). Furthermore, in March 2024, our CBPL partner exercised its put option requiring us to acquire their 49.9% ownership interest. Since the exercise was irrevocable, the NCI became mandatorily redeemable at that time and should have been reclassified to accounts payable and other current liabilities. These errors resulted in a reclassification of $65 million from noncontrolling interests, of which $49 million was reclassified to accounts payable and other current liabilities for CBPL and $16 million was reclassified to redeemable noncontrolling interests for the other immaterial investments in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the errors resulted in a cumulative understatement of $34.5 million to net income attributable to NCI and a corresponding cumulative overstatement to net income attributable to MCBC in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The errors were corrected through an out of period adjustment as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Management assessed the impact of the errors and deemed them to not be material to any prior periods or to forecasted results for 2024. In October 2024, we obtained a final redemption value that would be due to acquire the 49.9% NCI of the CBPL partnership. As a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an adjustment of $45.8 million to increase the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability to the final redemption value, with the adjustment recorded to interest expense.
Subsequent Events
The CBPL buyout was finalized on October 21, 2024, resulting in a cash payment of $89 million which will be recorded as a cash outflow from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the fourth quarter of 2024.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, aimed at enhancing transparency in income statement disclosures by requiring entities to disclose additional disaggregated information about significant expenses included in our results of operations. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2027 and the subsequent interim periods, with prospective or retrospective application allowed and early adoption permitted. We are still assessing the impact of the ASU, including the timing and method of adoption, however, we expect the guidance to impact disclosures only and not to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the guidance should be applied prospectively. We are permitted to early adopt and can choose to apply the guidance retrospectively. When adopted, we expect the guidance to have an impact on disclosures only and to not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We are still considering if we will apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosures and to enhance disclosures about significant reportable segment expenses. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim periods and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Because the amendments do not change the methodology for the identification of operating segments, the aggregation of those operating segments or the application of the quantitative thresholds to determine reportable segments, we do not expect the guidance to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
15

Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Investments
Our investments include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as VIEs have been evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. The VIEs included under "Consolidated VIEs" below are those for which we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and accordingly, we have consolidated these entities. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide. Amounts due to and due from our equity method investments are recorded as affiliate accounts payable and affiliate accounts receivable which are presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities and trade receivables, net, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs requires that we continually reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in which we have an interest. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and we continually evaluate circumstances that could require consolidation or deconsolidation. Our consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2024 are Cobra U.K., Rocky Mountain Metal Container ("RMMC"), and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company ("RMBC"), as well as other immaterial entities. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI"), Brewers Distributor Ltd. ("BDL") and The Yuengling Company LLC, as well as other immaterial investments.
Under our CBPL U.K. partnership agreement, our partner exercised a put option which has resulted in our acquisition of the remaining 49.9% ownership interest. In October 2024, we obtained a final valuation of the redemption value that would be due to acquire the remaining 49.9%. The transaction was finalized on October 21, 2024, resulting in a cash payment of $89 million. See further discussion of this transaction in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Both BRI and BDL have outstanding third party debt which is guaranteed by their respective shareholders. As a result, we had a guarantee liability of $32.0 million and $35.4 million recorded as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of these debt instruments. The offset to the guarantee liability was recorded as an adjustment to our respective equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting change in our equity method investments during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.
ZOA Energy, LLC
During the third quarter of 2023, we increased our investment in ZOA Energy, LLC ("ZOA"), an energy drink company operating in the U.S. and Canada, bringing our ownership interest to 40%, on a fully diluted basis. The increase in ownership resulted in the transition of accounting for our investment from the fair value method under ASC 321 to equity method investment accounting under ASC 323 on a prospective basis and the cash outflow associated with the investment is reflected within other in the investing activities section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Subsequent to the investment, the carrying value of our recorded ownership investment exceeds our ratable portion of underlying equity in the net assets of ZOA, and this basis difference has been fully allocated to equity method goodwill.
In October 2024, we increased our investment in ZOA for cash consideration of $53 million, bringing our ownership interest to 51% subsequent to the closing of the transaction. The transaction will be recorded as a business combination, and ZOA will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition within the Americas reporting segment. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond beer. Based on the timing of the transaction, we are still in the preliminary stages of accounting for this transaction and expect to complete our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as other consolidation adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2024.

(1)Accumulated impairment losses for the Americas segment was $1,513.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The EMEA&APAC goodwill balance was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2020 with an accumulated impairment loss of $1,484.3 million.
(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we divested of certain of our U.S. craft businesses and allocated a portion of goodwill to the disposal group based on the relative fair values of the disposal group and the reporting unit.
As of the date of our annual impairment test performed as of October 1, 2023, the fair value of the Americas reporting unit goodwill balance was in excess of its carrying value by slightly less than 15%, and as such, the reporting unit continues to be at heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions. We continue to focus on growing our core power brands net sales, aggressively premiumizing our portfolio and scaling and expanding beyond beer. While progress has been made on these strategies over recent years, including the strengthening of our core power brands, the growth targets included in management’s forecasted future cash flows are inherently at risk given that the strategies are still in progress. Additionally, the fair value determinations are sensitive to changes in the beer industry environment, broader macroeconomic conditions and market multiples or discount rates that could negatively impact future analyses, including the impacts of cost inflation, increases to interest rates and other external industry factors impacting our business.
17

We determined that there was no triggering event that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that would indicate the carrying value of our Americas reporting unit was greater than its fair value. Our goodwill annual impairment analysis as of October 1, 2024 is currently in progress, and we have not yet finalized our results. For all of the reasons described in the preceding paragraph, our goodwill balance continues to be at risk of future impairment.

The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 were primarily driven by the disposal of brands related to certain of our U.S. craft businesses, along with the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangible assets, other than goodwill, are denominated in foreign currencies.
Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2024, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets was as follows.

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $50.7 million and $52.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $155.3 million and $154.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. This expense was presented within MG&A expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of the date of our annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets, performed as of October 1, 2023, the carrying value of the Staropramen family of brands in EMEA&APAC was determined to be in excess of its fair value such that an impairment loss was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2023. As this was a partial impairment, the intangible asset is considered to be at a heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions, including forecasted future cash flows based on execution of strategic initiatives for expansion and distribution of the brand, as well as discount rates and other macroeconomic factors. Our indefinite-lived intangible asset annual impairment analysis as of October 1, 2024 is currently in progress, and we have not yet finalized our results.
The fair value of the Coors brands in the Americas, the Miller brands in the U.S. and the Carling brands in EMEA&APAC all exceeded their respective carrying values by over 15% as of the October 1, 2023 annual testing date.
No triggering events were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that would indicate the carrying values of our indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets were greater than their fair values.
Fair Value Assumptions
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. The key assumptions used to derive the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets are discussed in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in our Annual Report, and represent Level 3 measurements.

(2)On May 29, 2024, MCBC issued EUR 800 million 3.8% senior notes with a maturity of June 15, 2032 ("EUR 2032 Senior Notes"). The issuance resulted in total proceeds of $863.7 million, net of underwriting fees and discounts. Total debt discounts and debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with these senior notes, including underwriting fees, were approximately $7.1 million, and are being amortized over the term of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes. The EUR 2032 Senior Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with interest payments due annually. Additionally, upon issuance we designated the EUR 2032 Senior Notes as a hedge of our investment in a EUR functional currency subsidiary. See Note 8, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.
(3)Our short-term borrowings include bank overdrafts, borrowings on our overdraft facilities and other items.
20

As of September 30, 2024, we had $22.4 million in bank overdrafts and $126.2 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $103.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had $16.5 million in bank overdrafts and $75.5 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $59.0 million.
In addition, we have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities under which we had no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion related to letters of credit.
Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations using observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $6.0 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
On June 3, 2024, we amended our existing $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date from June 26, 2028 to June 26, 2029. The amendment did not change the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility, which allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in commercial paper or other borrowings at any time at variable interest rates. Similarly, the $150.0 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit remains unchanged. We use this facility from time to time to leverage cash needs to fund the repayment of debt upon maturity and for working capital or general purposes.
We had no borrowings drawn on the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Debt Covenants
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets, and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
Under the amended and restated $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, calculated as net debt to EBITDA (as defined in the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement) of 4.00x, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity of the credit facility. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and covenants, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of September 30, 2024 rank pari-passu.
8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As noted in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report, due to the nature of our counterparty agreements, and the fact that we are not subject to master netting arrangements, we are not able to net positions with the same counterparty and, therefore, present our derivative positions on a gross basis in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Except as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since December 31, 2023.
Net Investment Hedges
On May 29, 2024, concurrent with the issuance of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes, we designated the principal of the senior notes as a non-derivative net investment hedge of our investment in a EUR functional currency subsidiary in order to hedge a portion of the related foreign currency translational impacts. Accordingly, we will record the changes in the carrying value of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes due to fluctuations in the spot rate to AOCI. See Note 7, "Debt" for further discussion of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes.
21

Additionally, on May 29, 2024, we de-designated the principal of the EUR 800 million 1.25% senior notes and as a result, the associated net investment hedge was discontinued. The accumulated gains and losses associated with the settled net investment hedge will remain in AOCI until a liquidation or deconsolidation event at which point the accumulated gains and losses will be reclassified into earnings.
Foreign Currency Forwards
In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into approximately CAD 260 million (approximately 195 million USD) of foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations related to the repayment of our CAD 500 million 2.84% senior notes that matured on July 15, 2023. These contracts were not designated in hedge accounting relationships and, as such, changes in the fair value were recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These contracts settled on July 12, 2023 for an immaterial amount in advance of the senior notes being repaid.
Derivative Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as our own non-performance risk, as appropriate.
The table below summarizes our derivative assets (liabilities) that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value for all derivative contracts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were valued using significant other observable inputs, which are Level 2 inputs.

As of September 30, 2024, we expect net losses of approximately $3 million (pretax) recorded in AOCI that will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. For derivatives designated in cash flow hedge relationships, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged as of September 30, 2024 is approximately 3 years.

The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year, was partly due to the impact of a valuation allowance that was recorded on deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2024 related to the divestment of certain of our U.S. craft businesses. The divestment resulted in the realization of a capital loss for U.S. tax purposes. We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset generated by the capital loss will not be recognized, and as a result, a $16.4 million valuation allowance was recorded for the year to date period. The higher effective tax rate was also due to the $45.8 million increase in the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability of CBPL to the final redemption value, which was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 and is non-deductible for tax purposes. Finally, the higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was partly driven by a decrease in discrete tax benefit.
Our effective tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Recently, intergovernmental entities such as the Organization for Economic Development ("OECD") and European Union ("EU") have proposed changes to the existing tax laws of member countries, including model rules introduced by the OECD for a new 15% global minimum tax. In December 2022, the EU member states agreed to incorporate the 15% global minimum tax into their respective domestic laws effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. In addition, several non-EU countries, including Canada and the U.K., have proposed and/or adopted legislation consistent with the OECD global minimum tax framework. The global minimum tax, which is now effective in countries with enacted legislation, did not materially impact our financial or cash tax position in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024. We continue to evaluate the impact on future periods as previously-enacting countries issue related guidance and additional countries consider adoption of the global minimum tax rules.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Disputes and Environmental
Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have an aggregate accrued contingent liability of $72.3 million and $70.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for litigation, other disputes and environmental matters in which we are currently involved, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. For all matters unless otherwise noted below, we believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our litigation, other disputes and environmental issues are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other than those disclosed below, we are also involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, other than as noted, none of these disputes or legal actions are expected to have a material impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
On February 12, 2018, Stone Brewing Company filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of California against Molson Coors Beverage Company USA LLC ("MCBC USA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, alleging that the Keystone brand had "rebranded" itself as "Stone" and was marketing itself in a manner confusingly similar to Stone Brewing Company's registered Stone trademark. In the first quarter of 2022, a jury returned a verdict in which it concluded that trademark infringement had occurred and awarded Stone Brewing Company $56.0 million in damages. After denial of post-trial motions, in the fourth quarter of 2023, MCBC USA filed a notice of appeal in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is scheduled to be heard in November 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a recorded accrued liability of $60.1 million and $58.5 million, respectively, within other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the best estimate of probable loss in this case based on the judgment plus associated post-judgment interest. However, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change in the near term based on the progression of the case, including the 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 the loss for this matter.

Regulatory Contingencies
The Province of Ontario and Molson Canada 2005, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of our Company, Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Sleeman Breweries Ltd. (collectively, the "Representative Owners") and BRI, operating under the name The Beer Store ("TBS"), are parties to a Master Framework Agreement ("MFA") that dictates the terms of the beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario. In December 2023, the Province of Ontario notified the Representative Owners and TBS that it would not be renewing the MFA after the initial term which expires on December 31, 2025. The Province of Ontario simultaneously announced a set of non-binding key principles ("Key Principles") agreed upon between the Province of Ontario, the Representative Owners and TBS, concerning the intended features of the future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario. Under the Key Principles, TBS will be permitted to continue its retail operations and will continue to be the primary distributor of beer in the Province of Ontario through at least 2031. The Key Principles also state grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and big-box retailers in the Province of Ontario will be able to apply for licenses to sell beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails starting no later than January 1, 2026. On May 23, 2024, the Representative Owners, TBS and the Province of Ontario (collectively, the "Parties") entered into an Early Implementation Agreement ("EIA") which aligns to the Key Principles that were derived in December of 2023 and replaces the MFA agreement. The EIA was effective August 1, 2024 with provisions continuing until December 31, 2030. In summary, the EIA allows for the expansion of the licensed sale of beer, wine and ready-to-drink cocktails to all convenience stores which began on September 5, 2024 and all grocery stores which began on October 31, 2024. In addition, under the EIA, the Province of Ontario will provide financial support to TBS and the representative owners of up to CAD 225 million through reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the early implementation and to TBS in connection with the operation of the agreed upon retail footprint during the interim period between the commencement date of the EIA and the original expiration date of the MFA. We continue to evaluate the impacts of the EIA and the expected future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario on our results of operations.
Guarantees and Indemnities
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include liabilities related to these guarantees of $34.7 million and $36.9 million, respectively.
Separately, related to our Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") indemnities, we accrued $10.5 million and $11.8 million, in aggregate, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. Our Kaiser liabilities are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We expect to continue to incur incremental restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 through completion of wind down and closure of certain remaining U.S. craft facilities. Remaining charges are estimated to total approximately $95 million to $115 million, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges.
(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold our 57.5% controlling interest in Truss LP ("Truss") in Canada to Tilray Brands and recognized a loss of $11.1 million upon deconsolidation of the business.
13. Segment Reporting
Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate and include the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments. Our Americas segment operates in the U.S., Canada and various countries in the Caribbean, Latin and South America and our EMEA&APAC segment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries and certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
We also have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as "Unallocated" below. Specifically, Unallocated primarily includes certain financing-related activities such as interest expense and interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, realized and unrealized changes in fair value on derivative instruments not designated in hedging relationships related to financing and other treasury-related activities and the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment and all other components remain in Unallocated.
Summarized Financial Information
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Consolidated net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting net sales and income (loss) before income taxes eliminate upon consolidation and are primarily related to the Americas segment royalties received from, and sales to the EMEA&APAC segment.

Items Affecting the Consolidated Results of Operations
Purchases of Annuity Contracts
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased annuity contracts for two of our Canadian pension plans. As a result, on September 30, 2024, we remeasured both pension plans and recorded the offset to AOCI in addition to recording a total settlement loss of $34.0 million. See Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Part I. — Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" for further information.
Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. Buyout
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we adjusted our NCI by $34.5 million to our best estimate of the redemption value that existed at the time of the put option exercise in March 2024 by increasing our net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and decreasing our net income attributable to MCBC. In addition, the final determination of the redemption value was received in October 2024, and we recorded an adjustment of $45.8 million to interest expense in the EMEA&APAC segment with the offset to the mandatorily redeemable NCI that was recorded to accounts payable and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. See further discussion of this transaction in Part I. — Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

Foreign currency impacts on results
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, foreign currency movements had the following impacts on our USD consolidated results:
Net sales - Favorable impact of $1.2 million (favorable impact for EMEA&APAC of $8.6 million, partially offset by the unfavorable impact for Americas of $7.4 million).
Cost of goods sold - Unfavorable impact of $1.1 million (unfavorable impact for EMEA&APAC of $5.7 million, partially offset by the favorable impact for Americas and Unallocated of $4.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively).
MG&A - Unfavorable impact of $0.4 million (unfavorable impact for EMEA&APAC of $1.9 million, partially offset by the favorable impact for Americas of $1.5 million).
Income (loss) before income taxes - Unfavorable impact of $0.1 million (unfavorable impact for Americas of $1.5 million, partially offset by the favorable impact of EMEA&APAC and Unallocated of $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively).
32

The impacts of foreign currency movements on our consolidated USD results described above for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily due to the weakening of the USD compared to the GBP, partially offset by the strengthening of the USD compared to the CAD.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, foreign currency movements had the following impacts on our USD consolidated results:
Net sales - Favorable impact of $1.6 million (favorable impact for EMEA&APAC of $15.1 million, partially offset by the unfavorable impact for Americas $13.5 million).
Cost of goods sold - Unfavorable impact of $1.7 million (unfavorable impact for EMEA&APAC of $10.4 million, partially offset by the favorable impact for Americas and Unallocated of $8.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively).
MG&A - Unfavorable impact of $0.7 million (unfavorable impact for EMEA&APAC of $3.8 million, partially offset by the favorable impact for Americas of $3.1 million).
Income (loss) before income taxes - Unfavorable impact of $5.1 million (unfavorable impact for Americas and EMEA&APAC of $3.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, partially offset by the favorable impact for Unallocated of $1.6 million).
The impacts of foreign currency movements on our consolidated USD results described above for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily due to the weakening of the USD compared to the GBP, partially offset by the strengthening of the USD compared to the CAD and CZK.
Included in these amounts are both translational and transactional impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates. We calculate the impact of foreign exchange by translating our current period local currency results at the average exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year period during the respective period throughout the year and comparing that amount with the reported amount for the period. The impact of transactional foreign currency gains and losses, including the impact of undesignated foreign currency forwards, is recorded within other non-operating income (expense), net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Volume
Financial volume represents owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets (net of returns and allowances), as well as contract brewing, wholesale/factored non-owned volume and company-owned distribution volume. This metric is presented on an STW basis to reflect the sales from our operations to our direct customers, generally distributors. We believe this metric is important and useful for investors and management because it gives an indication of the amount of beer and adjacent products that we have produced and shipped to customers. This metric excludes royalty volume, which consists of our brands produced and sold under various license and contract brewing agreements. 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.
Net Sales

Financial volumes decreased 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to lower shipments, including lower contract brewing volumes in the Americas.
Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 by 4.5%, primarily due to increased net pricing as well as favorable sales mix for both segments, including as a result of lower contract brewing volumes in the U.S.

A discussion of currency impacts on net sales is included in the "Foreign currency impacts on results" section above.
Cost of goods sold
We utilize cost of goods sold per hectoliter, as well as the year over year changes in this metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. This metric is calculated as cost of goods sold per our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations divided by financial volume for the respective period. We believe this metric is important and useful for investors and management because it provides an indication of the trends of sales mix and other cost impacts on our cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods sold decreased 5.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to lower financial volumes, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold per hectoliter. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter increased 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to volume deleverage in the Americas segment, unfavorable mix driven by lower contract brewing volumes in the Americas segment, unfavorable changes in our unrealized mark-to-market commodity derivative positions of $34.4 million and cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.
Cost of goods sold decreased 3.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to lower financial volumes, partially offset by higher cost of goods sold per hectoliter. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter increased 1.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses, unfavorable mix driven by lower contract brewing volumes in the Americas segment and volume deleverage, partially offset by favorable changes in our unrealized commodity mark-to-market derivative positions of $109.7 million and cost savings initiatives.
A discussion of currency impacts on cost of goods sold is included in the "Foreign currency impacts on results" section above.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses
MG&A expenses decreased 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to prior year, primarily due to lower marketing investment resulting from cycling higher spend levels in the prior year and lower incentive compensation expense.
MG&A expenses decreased 1.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to prior year, primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by increased marketing investment to support our brands and innovations.
A discussion of currency impacts on MG&A expenses is included in the "Foreign currency impacts on results" section above.
Other operating income (expense), net
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we made the decision to wind down or sell certain of our U.S. craft businesses and related facilities and recorded employee-related and asset abandonment charges, including accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation. We recognized a loss of $41.1 million related to the disposal of the sold businesses. See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, "Other Operating Income (Expense), net" for detail of our other operating income (expense), net.
34

Total non-operating income (expense), net
Total non-operating expense, net increased 148.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to higher interest expense driven by a $45.8 million adjustment to increase our mandatorily redeemable NCI liability to the final redemption value related to the CBPL buyout and a settlement loss of $34.0 million recorded as a result of Canadian pension plan annuity purchases.
Total non-operating expense, net increased 37.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to prior year, primarily due to higher interest expense driven by a $45.8 million adjustment to increase our mandatorily redeemable NCI liability to the final redemption value related to the CBPL buyout and a settlement loss of $34.0 million recorded as a result of Canadian pension plan annuity purchases in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by higher interest income from higher cash balances and higher pension and OPEB non-service benefit.

Effective tax rate31 %21 %25 %22 %
The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year, was partly due to the impact of a valuation allowance that was recorded on deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2024 related to the divestment of certain of our U.S. craft businesses. The divestment resulted in the realization of a capital loss for U.S. tax purposes. We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset generated by the capital loss will not be recognized, and as a result, a $16.4 million valuation allowance was recorded for the year to date period. The higher effective tax rate was also due to the $45.8 million increase in the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability of CBPL to the final redemption value, which was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 and is non-deductible for tax purposes. Finally, the higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was partly driven by a decrease in discrete tax benefit.
Our effective tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Refer to Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9, "Income Tax" for discussion regarding our effective tax rate.
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $28.1 million and $24.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the recording of an out of period adjustment to increase the noncontrolling interest to the best estimate of the redemption value that existed at the time of the put option exercise in March 2024. See further discussion in Part I. — Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

Unallocated Segment
We have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as "Unallocated" below. Specifically, Unallocated primarily includes certain financing-related activities such as interest expense and interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances and realized and unrealized changes in fair value on instruments not designated in hedging relationships related to financing and other treasury-related activities. Unallocated activity also includes the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment, and all other components remain unallocated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash provided by operating activities and access to external capital. We continue to monitor world events which may create credit or economic challenges that could adversely impact our profit or operating cash flows and our ability to obtain additional liquidity. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and cash provided by short-term and long-term borrowings, when necessary, will be adequate to meet our ongoing operating requirements, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, capital expenditures and other obligations for the twelve months subsequent to the date of the issuance of this quarterly report and our long-term liquidity requirements. We do not have any restrictions that prevent or limit our ability to declare or pay dividends.
While a significant portion of our cash flows from operating activities are generated within the U.S., our cash balances include cash held outside the U.S. and in currencies other than the USD. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 58% of our cash and cash equivalents were located outside the U.S., largely denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have had and may continue to have a material impact on these foreign cash balances. Cash balances in foreign countries are often subject to additional restrictions. We may, therefore, have difficulties timely repatriating cash held outside the U.S., and such repatriation may be subject to tax. These limitations may affect our ability to fully utilize our cash resources for needs in the U.S. and other countries and may adversely affect our liquidity. To the extent necessary, we accrue for tax consequences on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as they are earned. We may utilize tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. We periodically review and evaluate these plans and strategies, including externally committed and non-committed credit agreements accessible by our Company and each of our operating subsidiaries. We believe these financing arrangements, along with cash flows from operating activities within the U.S., are sufficient to fund our current cash needs in the U.S.
Cash Flows and Use of Cash
Our business historically generates positive operating cash flows each year and our debt maturities are generally of a longer-term nature. However, our liquidity could be impacted significantly by the risk factors we described in Part I—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report, Part II.—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report and the items listed above.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,415.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $188.7 million compared to $1,604.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the unfavorable timing of working capital, partially offset by higher net income adjusted for non-cash addbacks and the timing of income taxes paid. The unfavorable timing of working capital was primarily driven by the timing of cash paid for our payables as well as higher payments for 2023 annual incentive compensation, partially offset by the timing of cash receipts.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $530.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $138.2 million compared to $668.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash paid in the prior year for an acquisition, partially offset by higher capital expenditures as a result of the timing of capital projects.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $744.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $16.2 million compared to $728.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher Class B common stock share repurchases and higher dividend payments, partially offset by lower net debt repayments.

Capital Resources, including Material Cash Requirements
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of September 30, 2024, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $1,021.7 million, compared to $868.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and $801.7 million as of September 30, 2023. The increase in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the net cash provided by operating activities, as well as the issuance of new EUR 800 million 3.8% senior notes due 2032, partially offset by net debt repayments, including the repayment of our EUR 800 million 1.25% senior notes which matured in July 2024, capital expenditures, Class B common stock share repurchases and dividend payments.
Borrowings
We repaid our EUR 800 million 1.25% senior notes upon their maturity on July 15, 2024 using the cash proceeds from our EUR 800 million 3.8% senior notes issued on May 29, 2024 and cash on hand. Refer to Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, "Debt" for details.

Based on the credit profile of our lenders that are party to our credit facilities, we are confident in our ability to draw on our revolving credit facility if the need arises. On June 3, 2024, we amended our existing $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date from June 26, 2028 to June 26, 2029. As of September 30, 2024, we had $2.0 billion available to draw on our amended and restated $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had no borrowings drawn on this amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings.
We intend to further utilize our cross-border, cross currency cash pool as well as our commercial paper programs for liquidity as needed. We also have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities across several banks should we need additional short-term liquidity.
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
The maximum net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, as defined by the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement, was 4.00x as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and covenants, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of September 30, 2024 rank pari-passu.
See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, "Debt" for further discussion of our borrowings and available sources of borrowings, including lines of credit.
Guarantees
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. See Part I.Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.
Material Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations
There were no material changes, except for the cash payment required for the mandatory purchase of the remaining 49.9% ownership interest in Cobra U.K. of $89 million which was made on October 21, 2024, to our material cash requirements from contractual and other obligations outside the ordinary course of business or due to factors similar in nature to inflation, changing prices on operations or changes in the remaining terms of the contracts since December 31, 2023, as reported in Part II.— Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, "Material Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other Obligations" in our Annual Report.

Credit Rating
Our current long-term credit ratings are BBB/Stable Outlook, Baa1/Stable Outlook and BBB/Stable Outlook with Standard & Poor's, Moody's and DBRS, respectively. Our short-term credit ratings are A-2, Prime-2 and R-2, respectively. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and it may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the applicable rating agency.
Guarantor Information
SEC Registered Securities
For purposes of this disclosure, including the tables, "Parent Issuer" shall mean MCBC in its capacity as the issuer of the senior notes under the May 2012 Indenture, the July 2016 Indenture and the May 2024 Indenture. "Subsidiary Guarantors" shall mean certain Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries reflecting the substantial operations of our Americas segment.
Pursuant to the indenture dated May 3, 2012 (as amended, the "May 2012 Indenture"), MCBC issued its outstanding 5.0% senior notes due 2042. Additionally, pursuant to the indenture dated July 7, 2016 ("July 2016 Indenture"), MCBC issued its outstanding 3.0% senior notes due 2026, 4.2% senior notes due 2046 and 1.25% senior notes due 2024 (subsequently repaid upon maturity on July 15, 2024). Further, pursuant to the indenture dated May 29, 2024 ("May 2024 Indenture"), MCBC issued its outstanding 3.8% senior notes due 2032. The issuances of the senior notes under the May 2012 Indenture, the July 2016 Indenture and the May 2024 Indenture were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries of MCBC, which are listed in Exhibit 22 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Subsidiary Guarantors, and together with the Parent Issuer, the "Obligor Group"). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Issuer. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
None of our other outstanding debt was issued in a transaction that was registered with the SEC, and such other outstanding debt is issued or otherwise generally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Obligor Group or other consolidated subsidiaries of MCBC. These other guarantees are also full and unconditional and joint and several.
As of September 30, 2024, the senior notes and related guarantees rank pari-passu with all other unsubordinated debt of the Obligor Group and senior to all future subordinated debt of the Obligor Group. The guarantees can be released upon the sale or transfer of a Subsidiary Guarantors' capital stock or substantially all of its assets, or if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a guarantor under our other outstanding debt.
See Part I.—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7, "Debt" for details of all debt issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
The following summarized financial information relates to the Obligor Group as of September 30, 2024 on a combined basis, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances between the Obligor Group, and excluding the investments in and equity in the earnings of any non-guarantor subsidiaries. The balances and transactions with non-guarantor subsidiaries have been separately presented.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures that, by their nature, can only provide reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our reporting segments include the Americas and EMEA&APAC. Our Americas segment operates in the U.S., Canada and various countries in the Caribbean, Latin and South America, and our EMEA&APAC segment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries and certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in USD and comparisons are to comparable prior year periods. Our primary operating currencies, other than the USD, include the CAD, the GBP and our Central European operating currencies such as the EUR, CZK, RON and RSD.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, except as noted in Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements".
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any other future period.
Anti-Dilutive Securities
Anti-dilutive securities from share-based awards excluded from the computation of diluted EPS were 1.5 million and 0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and 1.3 million and 0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Dividends
On July 18, 2024, our Company's Board of Directors ("Board") declared a dividend of $0.44 per share, paid on September 20, 2024 to shareholders of Class A and Class B common stock of record on August 30, 2024. Shareholders of exchangeable shares received the CAD equivalent of dividends declared on Class A and Class B common stock, equal to CAD 0.60 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, dividends declared to eligible shareholders were $1.32 per share, with the CAD equivalent equal to CAD 1.78 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2023, our Board approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of our Company's Class B common stock, excluding brokerage commissions and excise taxes, with an expected program term of five years. This repurchase program replaces and supersedes any repurchase program previously approved by our Board.
The following table presents the shares repurchased and aggregate cost, including brokerage commissions and excise taxes incurred, under the current and superseded share repurchase programs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

Aggregate cost (in millions)$62.7 $34.5 $437.2 $61.2 
Non-Cash Activity
Non-cash investing activities include movements in our guarantee of indebtedness of certain equity method investments. See Note 3, "Investments" for further discussion. We also had non-cash activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $119.7 million and $168.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, we had non-cash activities related to certain issuances of share-based awards.
Other than the activity mentioned above and the supplemental non-cash activity related to the recognition of leases further discussed in Note 6, "Leases" there was no other significant non-cash activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables was $13.4 million and $12.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Supplier Financing
We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. with $172.8 million and $147.5 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Acquisition
On August 7, 2023, we acquired a 75% equity interest in Blue Run Spirits, Inc., a U.S. based high end whiskey business, for a purchase price of $77 million, which included cash paid of $64 million. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond the beer aisle and enhance our presence in the spirits category.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with $88 million allocated to a definite-lived brand intangible asset to be amortized over a 15-year period and the remainder primarily allocated to other working capital balances and goodwill for the amount in excess of the net identifiable assets acquired. An NCI was recognized at fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation model and is recorded as redeemable noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheets based on the contractual terms of the agreement. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the impact is not material to our results of operation or financial position.
Purchases of Annuity Contracts
On September 26, 2024, we purchased annuity contracts for two of our Canadian pension plans which transferred approximately $344 million of pension plan liabilities, along with the associated administration of benefits, to an insurance company using the plan's respective pension plan assets. This transaction had no impact on the amount, timing or form of the retirement benefit payments to the affected retirees and beneficiaries. As a result of the transaction, we reduced the respective pension plan liabilities and assets and remeasured any remaining pension plan liabilities and assets using updated actuarial assumptions. We elected the practical expedient to perform the remeasurement as of the nearest calendar month-end date, which was September 30, 2024. A total settlement loss of $34.0 million was recorded to other pension and postretirement benefit (costs), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of 2024. See the impacts of the pension plan remeasurement and settlement on AOCI in Note 11, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)."
Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. Buyout
Out of Period Adjustment
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we identified certain errors in the historical accounting for NCI with redemption features outside of our control under the terms of our Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K." or "CBPL") partnership agreement and within certain other immaterial investments. Since the inception of these partnerships dating back to as early as 2002, we had historically accounted for the NCI within permanent equity with no adjustments to redemption value. Rather, our partners' shares should have been presented as redeemable NCI through the date of exercise of the redemption feature, with adjustments to the redemption value being recorded each reporting period as necessary. Specific to CBPL, since the option redemption price was not at fair value, the historical adjustments should have been recorded to net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, based on our accounting policy to reflect the entire change in the redemption amount as a deemed dividend and earnings per share adjustment (resulting from the redemption feature) as part of the attribution of consolidated net income to the noncontrolling interest (as reported on the face of the income statement). Furthermore, in March 2024, our CBPL partner exercised its put option requiring us to acquire their 49.9% ownership interest. Since the exercise was irrevocable, the NCI became mandatorily redeemable at that time and should have been reclassified to accounts payable and other current liabilities. These errors resulted in a reclassification of $65 million from noncontrolling interests, of which $49 million was reclassified to accounts payable and other current liabilities for CBPL and $16 million was reclassified to redeemable noncontrolling interests for the other immaterial investments in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the errors resulted in a cumulative understatement of $34.5 million to net income attributable to NCI and a corresponding cumulative overstatement to net income attributable to MCBC in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The errors were corrected through an out of period adjustment as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Management assessed the impact of the errors and deemed them to not be material to any prior periods or to forecasted results for 2024. In October 2024, we obtained a final redemption value that would be due to acquire the 49.9% NCI of the CBPL partnership. As a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an adjustment of $45.8 million to increase the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability to the final redemption value, with the adjustment recorded to interest expense.
Subsequent Events
The CBPL buyout was finalized on October 21, 2024, resulting in a cash payment of $89 million which will be recorded as a cash outflow from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the fourth quarter of 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, aimed at enhancing transparency in income statement disclosures by requiring entities to disclose additional disaggregated information about significant expenses included in our results of operations. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2027 and the subsequent interim periods, with prospective or retrospective application allowed and early adoption permitted. We are still assessing the impact of the ASU, including the timing and method of adoption, however, we expect the guidance to impact disclosures only and not to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the guidance should be applied prospectively. We are permitted to early adopt and can choose to apply the guidance retrospectively. When adopted, we expect the guidance to have an impact on disclosures only and to not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We are still considering if we will apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosures and to enhance disclosures about significant reportable segment expenses. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim periods and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Because the amendments do not change the methodology for the identification of operating segments, the aggregation of those operating segments or the application of the quantitative thresholds to determine reportable segments, we do not expect the guidance to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Investments Investments
Our investments include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as VIEs have been evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. The VIEs included under "Consolidated VIEs" below are those for which we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and accordingly, we have consolidated these entities. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide. Amounts due to and due from our equity method investments are recorded as affiliate accounts payable and affiliate accounts receivable which are presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities and trade receivables, net, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs requires that we continually reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in which we have an interest. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and we continually evaluate circumstances that could require consolidation or deconsolidation. Our consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2024 are Cobra U.K., Rocky Mountain Metal Container ("RMMC"), and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company ("RMBC"), as well as other immaterial entities. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI"), Brewers Distributor Ltd. ("BDL") and The Yuengling Company LLC, as well as other immaterial investments.
Under our CBPL U.K. partnership agreement, our partner exercised a put option which has resulted in our acquisition of the remaining 49.9% ownership interest. In October 2024, we obtained a final valuation of the redemption value that would be due to acquire the remaining 49.9%. The transaction was finalized on October 21, 2024, resulting in a cash payment of $89 million. See further discussion of this transaction in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
Both BRI and BDL have outstanding third party debt which is guaranteed by their respective shareholders. As a result, we had a guarantee liability of $32.0 million and $35.4 million recorded as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of these debt instruments. The offset to the guarantee liability was recorded as an adjustment to our respective equity method investment on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting change in our equity method investments during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.
ZOA Energy, LLC
During the third quarter of 2023, we increased our investment in ZOA Energy, LLC ("ZOA"), an energy drink company operating in the U.S. and Canada, bringing our ownership interest to 40%, on a fully diluted basis. The increase in ownership resulted in the transition of accounting for our investment from the fair value method under ASC 321 to equity method investment accounting under ASC 323 on a prospective basis and the cash outflow associated with the investment is reflected within other in the investing activities section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Subsequent to the investment, the carrying value of our recorded ownership investment exceeds our ratable portion of underlying equity in the net assets of ZOA, and this basis difference has been fully allocated to equity method goodwill.
In October 2024, we increased our investment in ZOA for cash consideration of $53 million, bringing our ownership interest to 51% subsequent to the closing of the transaction. The transaction will be recorded as a business combination, and ZOA will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition within the Americas reporting segment. The acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand beyond beer. Based on the timing of the transaction, we are still in the preliminary stages of accounting for this transaction and expect to complete our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as other consolidation adjustments during the fourth quarter of 2024.

(1)Accumulated impairment losses for the Americas segment was $1,513.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The EMEA&APAC goodwill balance was fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2020 with an accumulated impairment loss of $1,484.3 million.
(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we divested of certain of our U.S. craft businesses and allocated a portion of goodwill to the disposal group based on the relative fair values of the disposal group and the reporting unit.
As of the date of our annual impairment test performed as of October 1, 2023, the fair value of the Americas reporting unit goodwill balance was in excess of its carrying value by slightly less than 15%, and as such, the reporting unit continues to be at heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions. We continue to focus on growing our core power brands net sales, aggressively premiumizing our portfolio and scaling and expanding beyond beer. While progress has been made on these strategies over recent years, including the strengthening of our core power brands, the growth targets included in management’s forecasted future cash flows are inherently at risk given that the strategies are still in progress. Additionally, the fair value determinations are sensitive to changes in the beer industry environment, broader macroeconomic conditions and market multiples or discount rates that could negatively impact future analyses, including the impacts of cost inflation, increases to interest rates and other external industry factors impacting our business.
We determined that there was no triggering event that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that would indicate the carrying value of our Americas reporting unit was greater than its fair value. Our goodwill annual impairment analysis as of October 1, 2024 is currently in progress, and we have not yet finalized our results. For all of the reasons described in the preceding paragraph, our goodwill balance continues to be at risk of future impairment.

The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 were primarily driven by the disposal of brands related to certain of our U.S. craft businesses, along with the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangible assets, other than goodwill, are denominated in foreign currencies.
Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2024, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets was as follows.

2025$203.1 
2026$186.2 
2027$127.2 
2028$125.7 
Amortization expense of intangible assets was $50.7 million and $52.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $155.3 million and $154.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. This expense was presented within MG&A expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of the date of our annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets, performed as of October 1, 2023, the carrying value of the Staropramen family of brands in EMEA&APAC was determined to be in excess of its fair value such that an impairment loss was recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2023. As this was a partial impairment, the intangible asset is considered to be at a heightened risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions, including forecasted future cash flows based on execution of strategic initiatives for expansion and distribution of the brand, as well as discount rates and other macroeconomic factors. Our indefinite-lived intangible asset annual impairment analysis as of October 1, 2024 is currently in progress, and we have not yet finalized our results.
The fair value of the Coors brands in the Americas, the Miller brands in the U.S. and the Carling brands in EMEA&APAC all exceeded their respective carrying values by over 15% as of the October 1, 2023 annual testing date.
No triggering events were identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that would indicate the carrying values of our indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets were greater than their fair values.
Fair Value Assumptions
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. The key assumptions used to derive the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets are discussed in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in our Annual Report, and represent Level 3 measurements.

(2)On May 29, 2024, MCBC issued EUR 800 million 3.8% senior notes with a maturity of June 15, 2032 ("EUR 2032 Senior Notes"). The issuance resulted in total proceeds of $863.7 million, net of underwriting fees and discounts. Total debt discounts and debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with these senior notes, including underwriting fees, were approximately $7.1 million, and are being amortized over the term of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes. The EUR 2032 Senior Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with interest payments due annually. Additionally, upon issuance we designated the EUR 2032 Senior Notes as a hedge of our investment in a EUR functional currency subsidiary. See Note 8, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.
(3)Our short-term borrowings include bank overdrafts, borrowings on our overdraft facilities and other items.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $22.4 million in bank overdrafts and $126.2 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $103.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had $16.5 million in bank overdrafts and $75.5 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $59.0 million.
In addition, we have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities under which we had no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion related to letters of credit.
Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations using observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $6.0 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
On June 3, 2024, we amended our existing $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date from June 26, 2028 to June 26, 2029. The amendment did not change the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility, which allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in commercial paper or other borrowings at any time at variable interest rates. Similarly, the $150.0 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit remains unchanged. We use this facility from time to time to leverage cash needs to fund the repayment of debt upon maturity and for working capital or general purposes.
We had no borrowings drawn on the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Debt Covenants
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets, and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
Under the amended and restated $2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, calculated as net debt to EBITDA (as defined in the amended and restated multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement) of 4.00x, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity of the credit facility. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and covenants, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of September 30, 2024 rank pari-passu.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As noted in Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report, due to the nature of our counterparty agreements, and the fact that we are not subject to master netting arrangements, we are not able to net positions with the same counterparty and, therefore, present our derivative positions on a gross basis in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Except as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since December 31, 2023.
Net Investment Hedges
On May 29, 2024, concurrent with the issuance of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes, we designated the principal of the senior notes as a non-derivative net investment hedge of our investment in a EUR functional currency subsidiary in order to hedge a portion of the related foreign currency translational impacts. Accordingly, we will record the changes in the carrying value of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes due to fluctuations in the spot rate to AOCI. See Note 7, "Debt" for further discussion of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes.
Additionally, on May 29, 2024, we de-designated the principal of the EUR 800 million 1.25% senior notes and as a result, the associated net investment hedge was discontinued. The accumulated gains and losses associated with the settled net investment hedge will remain in AOCI until a liquidation or deconsolidation event at which point the accumulated gains and losses will be reclassified into earnings.
Foreign Currency Forwards
In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into approximately CAD 260 million (approximately 195 million USD) of foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations related to the repayment of our CAD 500 million 2.84% senior notes that matured on July 15, 2023. These contracts were not designated in hedge accounting relationships and, as such, changes in the fair value were recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These contracts settled on July 12, 2023 for an immaterial amount in advance of the senior notes being repaid.
Derivative Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as our own non-performance risk, as appropriate.
The table below summarizes our derivative assets (liabilities) that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value for all derivative contracts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were valued using significant other observable inputs, which are Level 2 inputs.

As of September 30, 2024, we expect net losses of approximately $3 million (pretax) recorded in AOCI that will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. For derivatives designated in cash flow hedge relationships, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged as of September 30, 2024 is approximately 3 years.

Effective tax rate31 %21 %25 %22 %
The higher effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year, was partly due to the impact of a valuation allowance that was recorded on deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2024 related to the divestment of certain of our U.S. craft businesses. The divestment resulted in the realization of a capital loss for U.S. tax purposes. We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset generated by the capital loss will not be recognized, and as a result, a $16.4 million valuation allowance was recorded for the year to date period. The higher effective tax rate was also due to the $45.8 million increase in the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability of CBPL to the final redemption value, which was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 and is non-deductible for tax purposes. Finally, the higher effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was partly driven by a decrease in discrete tax benefit.
Our effective tax rate can be volatile and may change with, among other things, the amount and source of pretax income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, could have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Recently, intergovernmental entities such as the Organization for Economic Development ("OECD") and European Union ("EU") have proposed changes to the existing tax laws of member countries, including model rules introduced by the OECD for a new 15% global minimum tax. In December 2022, the EU member states agreed to incorporate the 15% global minimum tax into their respective domestic laws effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. In addition, several non-EU countries, including Canada and the U.K., have proposed and/or adopted legislation consistent with the OECD global minimum tax framework. The global minimum tax, which is now effective in countries with enacted legislation, did not materially impact our financial or cash tax position in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024. We continue to evaluate the impact on future periods as previously-enacting countries issue related guidance and additional countries consider adoption of the global minimum tax rules.

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Disputes and Environmental
Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have an aggregate accrued contingent liability of $72.3 million and $70.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for litigation, other disputes and environmental matters in which we are currently involved, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. For all matters unless otherwise noted below, we believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our litigation, other disputes and environmental issues are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other than those disclosed below, we are also involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, other than as noted, none of these disputes or legal actions are expected to have a material impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
On February 12, 2018, Stone Brewing Company filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of California against Molson Coors Beverage Company USA LLC ("MCBC USA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, alleging that the Keystone brand had "rebranded" itself as "Stone" and was marketing itself in a manner confusingly similar to Stone Brewing Company's registered Stone trademark. In the first quarter of 2022, a jury returned a verdict in which it concluded that trademark infringement had occurred and awarded Stone Brewing Company $56.0 million in damages. After denial of post-trial motions, in the fourth quarter of 2023, MCBC USA filed a notice of appeal in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which is scheduled to be heard in November 2024. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a recorded accrued liability of $60.1 million and $58.5 million, respectively, within other liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the best estimate of probable loss in this case based on the judgment plus associated post-judgment interest. However, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of the loss could change in the near term based on the progression of the case, including the 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 the loss for this matter.
Regulatory Contingencies
The Province of Ontario and Molson Canada 2005, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of our Company, Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Sleeman Breweries Ltd. (collectively, the "Representative Owners") and BRI, operating under the name The Beer Store ("TBS"), are parties to a Master Framework Agreement ("MFA") that dictates the terms of the beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario. In December 2023, the Province of Ontario notified the Representative Owners and TBS that it would not be renewing the MFA after the initial term which expires on December 31, 2025. The Province of Ontario simultaneously announced a set of non-binding key principles ("Key Principles") agreed upon between the Province of Ontario, the Representative Owners and TBS, concerning the intended features of the future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario. Under the Key Principles, TBS will be permitted to continue its retail operations and will continue to be the primary distributor of beer in the Province of Ontario through at least 2031. The Key Principles also state grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and big-box retailers in the Province of Ontario will be able to apply for licenses to sell beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails starting no later than January 1, 2026. On May 23, 2024, the Representative Owners, TBS and the Province of Ontario (collectively, the "Parties") entered into an Early Implementation Agreement ("EIA") which aligns to the Key Principles that were derived in December of 2023 and replaces the MFA agreement. The EIA was effective August 1, 2024 with provisions continuing until December 31, 2030. In summary, the EIA allows for the expansion of the licensed sale of beer, wine and ready-to-drink cocktails to all convenience stores which began on September 5, 2024 and all grocery stores which began on October 31, 2024. In addition, under the EIA, the Province of Ontario will provide financial support to TBS and the representative owners of up to CAD 225 million through reimbursement of costs incurred in connection with the early implementation and to TBS in connection with the operation of the agreed upon retail footprint during the interim period between the commencement date of the EIA and the original expiration date of the MFA. We continue to evaluate the impacts of the EIA and the expected future marketplace for beer distribution and retail systems in the Province of Ontario on our results of operations.
Guarantees and Indemnities
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include liabilities related to these guarantees of $34.7 million and $36.9 million, respectively.
Separately, related to our Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") indemnities, we accrued $10.5 million and $11.8 million, in aggregate, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. Our Kaiser liabilities are discussed in further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(1)Our partner in the CBPL U.K. partnership agreement exercised a put option in March 2024 which triggered the NCI to become mandatorily redeemable and require reclassification to accounts payable and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cumulative translation adjustment recorded on the mandatorily redeemable NCI was reclassified to AOCI. See further discussion of this transaction in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
(2)On September 26, 2024, we purchased annuity contracts for two of our Canadian pension plans which transferred pension plan liabilities, along with the associated administration of benefits, to an insurance company using the plan's respective pension plan assets. As a result, on September 30, 2024, we remeasured both pension plans and recorded the offset to AOCI.

We recognized a loss of $41.1 million related to the disposal of the sold businesses. We expect to continue to incur incremental restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 through completion of wind down and closure of certain remaining U.S. craft facilities. Remaining charges are estimated to total approximately $95 million to $115 million, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges.
(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold our 57.5% controlling interest in Truss LP ("Truss") in Canada to Tilray Brands and recognized a loss of $11.1 million upon deconsolidation of the business.

Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate and include the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments. Our Americas segment operates in the U.S., Canada and various countries in the Caribbean, Latin and South America and our EMEA&APAC segment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries and certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
We also have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as "Unallocated" below. Specifically, Unallocated primarily includes certain financing-related activities such as interest expense and interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, realized and unrealized changes in fair value on derivative instruments not designated in hedging relationships related to financing and other treasury-related activities and the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment and all other components remain in Unallocated.
Summarized Financial Information
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Consolidated net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting net sales and income (loss) before income taxes eliminate upon consolidation and are primarily related to the Americas segment royalties received from, and sales to the EMEA&APAC segment.
The following tables present net sales and income (loss) before income taxes by segment:

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, aimed at enhancing transparency in income statement disclosures by requiring entities to disclose additional disaggregated information about significant expenses included in our results of operations. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2027 and the subsequent interim periods, with prospective or retrospective application allowed and early adoption permitted. We are still assessing the impact of the ASU, including the timing and method of adoption, however, we expect the guidance to impact disclosures only and not to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the guidance should be applied prospectively. We are permitted to early adopt and can choose to apply the guidance retrospectively. When adopted, we expect the guidance to have an impact on disclosures only and to not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. We are still considering if we will apply the standard prospectively or retrospectively.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures intended to improve reportable segment disclosures and to enhance disclosures about significant reportable segment expenses. This guidance is effective for us starting with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the subsequent interim periods and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Because the amendments do not change the methodology for the identification of operating segments, the aggregation of those operating segments or the application of the quantitative thresholds to determine reportable segments, we do not expect the guidance to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2)On May 29, 2024, MCBC issued EUR 800 million 3.8% senior notes with a maturity of June 15, 2032 ("EUR 2032 Senior Notes"). The issuance resulted in total proceeds of $863.7 million, net of underwriting fees and discounts. Total debt discounts and debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with these senior notes, including underwriting fees, were approximately $7.1 million, and are being amortized over the term of the EUR 2032 Senior Notes. The EUR 2032 Senior Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with interest payments due annually. Additionally, upon issuance we designated the EUR 2032 Senior Notes as a hedge of our investment in a EUR functional currency subsidiary. See Note 8, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.
(3)Our short-term borrowings include bank overdrafts, borrowings on our overdraft facilities and other items.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $22.4 million in bank overdrafts and $126.2 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $103.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, we had $16.5 million in bank overdrafts and $75.5 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $59.0 million.
In addition, we have CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities under which we had no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See further detail within Part II.—Item 8. Financial Statements, Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion related to letters of credit.

(1)Our partner in the CBPL U.K. partnership agreement exercised a put option in March 2024 which triggered the NCI to become mandatorily redeemable and require reclassification to accounts payable and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The cumulative translation adjustment recorded on the mandatorily redeemable NCI was reclassified to AOCI. See further discussion of this transaction in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
(2)On September 26, 2024, we purchased annuity contracts for two of our Canadian pension plans which transferred pension plan liabilities, along with the associated administration of benefits, to an insurance company using the plan's respective pension plan assets. As a result, on September 30, 2024, we remeasured both pension plans and recorded the offset to AOCI.

(1)During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we made the decision to wind down or sell certain of our U.S. craft businesses and related facilities and recorded employee-related and asset abandonment charges, including accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation. We recognized a loss of $41.1 million related to the disposal of the sold businesses. We expect to continue to incur incremental restructuring charges during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 through completion of wind down and closure of certain remaining U.S. craft facilities. Remaining charges are estimated to total approximately $95 million to $115 million, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges.
(2)During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold our 57.5% controlling interest in Truss LP ("Truss") in Canada to Tilray Brands and recognized a loss of $11.1 million upon deconsolidation of the business.
