VICTOR, N.Y., JULY 1, 2015 – Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading beverage alcohol company, reported today its first quarter 2016 results.
“Our excellent first quarter results reflect a great start to our new fiscal year. We delivered exceptional performance for our beer business, which is the primary driver of the upward revision to our EPS outlook for the year, and our brewery expansion continues to proceed as planned. Within our wine and spirits business, we experienced improving market trends for our U.S. wine business, posted better than expected results in Canada and delivered excellent dollar sales and depletion volume growth for our portfolio of spirits brands,” said Rob Sands, president and chief executive officer, Constellation Brands.
“Today, we are also announcing that we have agreed to purchase the Meiomi wine brand, which is a high-growth, high-margin, scale brand that can be effectively integrated into our powerful portfolio of wine brands,” said Sands. Launched in 2006, Meiomi has grown from a 60,000 case brand in 2010 to almost 600,000 cases in 2014 and is experiencing IRI dollar sales growth of more than 50 percent over the last 52 weeks. Meiomi’s pinot noir is also among the fastest-growing, major pinot noir brands in the latest 12-week period. “This strong record of growth demonstrates how well the brand resonates with consumers. We are excited about Meiomi’s prospects going forward under our efficient operating structure and strong route-to-market,” added Sands. The purchase price for the brand is approximately $315 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close around the beginning of August and to be $0.03 - $0.04 accretive to EPS for fiscal 2016.
Net Sales Commentary
For the quarter, the company generated consolidated net sales growth on a constant currency basis of eight percent.
Beer net sales increased 11 percent, primarily due to volume growth. Beer depletions grew 10 percent, reflecting strong consumer demand for the beer portfolio.
“During the first quarter, our beer business kicked off the ‘120 Days of Summer’ selling season by posting double-digit sales and depletion growth, with strong execution across our iconic portfolio led by our two largest brands, Corona Extra, which includes the new can launch, and Modelo Especial,” said Sands. “As a result of this strong performance, we now expect sales growth of approximately 10 percent for our beer business in fiscal 2016.”
Wine and spirits net sales on a constant currency basis increased four percent. This primarily reflects higher shipment volume and favorable mix. Net sales benefited from the overlap of a planned U.S. distributor inventory destocking, net of a related distributor destocking payment, which occurred during first quarter 2015.
“Our U.S. wine and spirits depletions grew 3.5% and gained traction during the quarter led by Kim Crawford, Ruffino, Black Box, Simi, Estancia, Clos du Bois, The Dreaming Tree and Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi,” said Sands. “The strong sales and depletion growth for the spirits business during the quarter was driven by Casa Noble Tequila, Paul Masson Grande Amber Brandy and SVEDKA Vodka.”
Operating Income and Net Income Commentary
For the quarter, consolidated comparable basis operating income increased 12 percent.
Beer operating income increased 17 percent, primarily due to higher volume and pricing for the beer portfolio, partially offset by an increase in marketing spend. The one percent increase in wine and spirits operating income primarily reflects favorable mix and lower cost of product sold.
For first quarter 2016, pre-tax comparable adjustments totaled $27 million. This included $13 million of costs associated with the company’s recently initiated cost effectiveness plan, the goal of which is to streamline and simplify processes, and shift resources and investment to long-term, profitable growth opportunities across the business. The company expects total costs associated with this plan for fiscal 2016 to approximate $20 million.
Interest expense for first quarter 2016 totaled $78 million, a decrease of 10 percent. The decrease was primarily due to lower average interest rates.
The comparable basis effective tax rate for first quarter 2016 was 31.8 percent compared to a 32.5 percent tax rate for the prior year first quarter.
Free Cash Flow Commentary
Free cash flow for first quarter 2016 totaled $76 million as compared to $101 million for the same period last year.
“For fiscal 2016, we continue to expect to generate operating cash flow of $1.15 to $1.35 billion and free cash flow of $100 to $200 million as our brewery capital investments progress as planned,” said David Klein, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Constellation Brands. “Despite our significant level of capital expenditures in fiscal 2016, the initiation of a dividend, and purchase of the Meiomi wine brand, our strong projected earnings and operating cash flow growth position us to cross below the 4X net debt to comparable basis EBITDA mark during fiscal 2016,” added Klein.
Quarterly Dividend
On June 30, 2015, Constellation’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per share of Class A Common Stock and $0.28 per share of Class B Common Stock, payable on August 25, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 11, 2015.
Outlook
The table below sets forth management’s current EPS expectations for fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 actual results, both on a comparable basis and a reported basis.
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | Comparable Basis | Reported Basis |
| | FY16 Estimate | FY15 Actual | FY16 Estimate | FY15 Actual |
| Fiscal Year Ending Feb. 28/29 | $4.80 - $5.00 |
| $4.44 |
| $4.60 - $4.80 |
| $4.17 |
|
For fiscal 2016, the beer business is now targeting mid to high single-digit volume growth, net sales growth of approximately 10 percent, and 13 - 15 percent operating income growth. For the wine and spirits
business, the company continues to expect net sales and operating income growth to be in the low to mid single-digit range before any benefit from the Meiomi acquisition.
Fiscal 2016 guidance also includes the following current assumptions, including the expected acquisition of the Meiomi wine brand:
| |
| • | Interest expense: approximately $325 - $335 million |
| |
| • | Tax rate: approximately 30.5 percent |
| |
| • | Weighted average diluted shares outstanding: approximately 204 million |
| |
| • | Free cash flow: approximately $100 - $200 million |
| |
| • | Operating cash flow: approximately $1.15 - $1.35 billion |
| |
| • | Capital expenditures: approximately $1.05 - $1.15 billion, including $950 million - $1.05 billion for the beer business |
Conference Call

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in millions, except per share data)
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). However, non-GAAP financial measures, as defined in the reconciliation tables below, are provided because we use this information in evaluating the results of our core operations and/or internal goal setting. In addition, we believe this information provides investors better insight on underlying business trends and results in order to evaluate year-over-year financial performance. See the tables below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to our website at http://www.cbrands.com/investors for a more detailed description and further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures.

GUIDANCE - FREE CASH FLOW
(in millions)
Free cash flow, as defined in the reconciliation below, is considered a liquidity measure and is considered to provide useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated, which can then be used, after required debt service and dividend payments, for other general corporate purposes. A limitation of free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flow from operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.
