Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "we," "us" or "our" includes Molson Coors Beverage Company ("MCBC" or the "Company"), principally a holding company, and its operating and non-operating subsidiaries included within our reporting segments. Our reporting segments include 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 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 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any other future period. Cost Inflation We have been experiencing significant cost inflation, including materials and manufacturing expenses, which negatively impacted our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. These impacts were partially driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which commenced in February 2022 and remains ongoing. While cost inflation has been high in all of our markets, the impact to COGS on a percentage basis was higher for our EMEA&APAC segment than our Americas segment. In addition, consumers in certain markets in our EMEA&APAC segment continued to be impacted by local inflation leading to a reduction in their discretionary purchases. We continue to monitor the inflationary environment and currently expect cost inflation to moderate in the second half of 2023 with continued easing into 2024. To the extent materials, manufacturing and logistics prices continue to fluctuate, our business and financial results could continue to be materially adversely impacted. We continue to monitor these risks and rely on our risk management hedging program, increased pricing to our customers, our premiumization strategy and cost savings programs to help mitigate some of the inflationary pressures. Even if we are able to raise the prices of our products, consumers might react negatively to such price increases, which could have a material adverse effect on, among other things, our brands, reputation and sales. If our competitors maintain or substantially lower their prices, we may lose customers or be forced to lower prices to remain competitive. Our profitability may be impacted by prices that do not offset the inflationary pressures, which would negatively impact gross margins. In addition, even if we increase the prices of our products in response to increases in the cost of commodities or other cost increases, we may not be able to sustain our price increases or customers may trade down to cheaper alternatives. Anti-Dilutive Securities Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted EPS were 0.4 million and 1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and 0.6 million and 1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program During the first quarter of 2022, our Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program up to an aggregate of $200 million of our Company's Class B common stock through March 31, 2026, with the program primarily intended to offset annual employee equity award grants.

We also had non-cash activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $204.2 million and $158.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, we had non-cash activities related to certain issuances of share-based awards. During the first quarter of 2022, we recorded a non-cash transaction related to the establishment of an accrued liability of $56.0 million as the best estimate of the probable loss in the Keystone litigation case based on the jury verdict. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a non-cash transaction of $1.0 million in accrued interest associated with this accrued liability. See Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further details. 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Share-Based Compensation During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, we granted stock options, RSUs and PSUs to certain officers and other eligible employees. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $10.5 million and $8.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and $20.3 million and $16.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Supplier Financing We are the buyer under a supplier finance program with Citibank N.A. ("Citi" or "the bank"), with $134.7 million and $135.2 million confirmed as valid and outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognize these unpaid balances in accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the program, we agree to pay the bank the stated amount of confirmed invoices from our designated suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. We have no involvement in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the suppliers and the bank and do not participate in such transactions. Either Citi or us may terminate the agreement upon at least 30 days written notice. We do not provide secured legal assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangement. Our current payment terms with the majority of the suppliers participating in the supplier finance program generally range from 60 to 120 days, which we deem to be commercially reasonable. |
