Brand volumes decreased 4.5%, including a 4.3% decrease in the Americas segment as well as a 5.0% decrease in the EMEA&APAC segment.Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales by 3.7%, primarily due to favorable sales mix and increased net pricing. Net sales per hectoliter increased 5.5% reported and 4.1% on a constant currency basis.COGS per hectoliter: increased 8.1% on a reported basis, primarily due to unfavorable mix driven by premiumization and lower contract brewing volume in the Americas segment, cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses including an approximate $20 million unfavorable impact to COGS attributable to Midwest Premium pricing which is a surcharge added to the base price of aluminum, intended to reflect the cost of delivering aluminum in the U.S., volume deleverage and unfavorable foreign currency impact, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.Underlying (Non-GAAP) COGS per hectoliter: increased 6.6% in constant currency primarily due to unfavorable mix, cost inflation related to materials and manufacturing expenses including an approximate $20 million unfavorable impact to COGS attributable to Midwest Premium pricing as well as volume deleverage, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.The following table highlights the Americas segment results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.For the three months ended($ in millions) (Unaudited)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024Reported % ChangeFX ImpactConstant Currency % Change (2)Net sales(1)$2,066.2$2,173.9(5.0)%$1.0(5.0)%Income (loss) before income taxes(1)$254.3$361.8(29.7)%$0.2(29.8)%Underlying income (loss) before income taxes (1)(2)$293.2$362.0(19.0)%$0.4(19.1)%For the years ended($ in millions) (Unaudited)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024Reported % ChangeFX ImpactConstant Currency % Change (2)Net sales(1)$8,712.8$9,240.2(5.7)%$(21.4)(5.5)%Income (loss) before income taxes(1)$(2,343.6)$1,523.3N/M$—N/MUnderlying income (loss) before income taxes (1)(2)$1,398.0$1,590.3(12.1)%$(1.6)(12.0)%N/M = Not meaningfulThe reported percent change and the constant currency percent change in the above table are presented as (unfavorable) favorable.(1)Includes gross inter-segment volumes, sales and purchases, which are eliminated in the consolidated totals.(2)Represents income (loss) before income taxes adjusted for non-GAAP items.

The decrease was also driven by the cycling of a $45.8 million increase in the mandatorily redeemable NCI liability of CBPL to its final redemption value, which was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 and was nondeductible for tax purposes. These decreases were offset in part by the cycling of a $77.9 million nontaxable gain recognized upon the consolidation of ZOA in the fourth quarter of 2024.We expect to achieve the following targets for full year 2026 despite the inherent uncertainties that exist with inflationary commodity cost pressures and a softer beer industry.On February 18, 2026, our Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share, to be paid on March 20, 2026, to shareholders of Class A and Class B common stock of record on March 6, 2026. Shareholders of exchangeable shares will receive the CAD equivalent of dividends earned on Class A and Class B common stock.On February 18, 2026, our Company announced a three-year cost savings program targeting up to $450 million with savings beginning in 2026. The cost savings program, inclusive of the Americas Restructuring Plan announced in the fourth quarter of 2025, is intended to mitigate inflation impacts and enable continued investment at levels necessary to fuel our business. The savings will be driven by many areas of the business and will impact both the Americas and EMEA&APAC segments.Unless otherwise indicated in this release, all $ amounts are in U.S. Dollars, and all comparative results are for the Company’s fourth quarter or full year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the fourth quarter or full year ended December 31, 2024.

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 non-owned brand volume and company-owned distribution volume. Contract brewing and wholesale/factored volume is included within financial volume, but is removed from worldwide brand volume, as this is non-owned volume for which we do not directly control performance. Factored volume in our EMEA&APAC segment represents the distribution of beer, wine, spirits and other products owned and produced by other companies to the on-premise channel such as bars and restaurants, which is a common arrangement in the U.K. Royalty volume consists of our brands produced and sold by third parties under various license and contract brewing agreements and, because this is owned volume, it is included in worldwide brand volume. Our worldwide brand volume definition also includes an adjustment from Sales-to-Wholesaler (“STW”) volume to Sales-to-Retailer (“STR”) volume. We believe the brand volume metric is important because, unlike financial volume and STWs, it provides the closest indication of the performance of our brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends.We also utilize net sales per hectoliter and COGS per hectoliter, as well as the year over year changes in this metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. These metrics are calculated as net sales and COGS per our consolidated statements of operations divided by financial volume for the respective period. We believe these metrics are important and useful for investors and management because it provides an indication of the trends of price and sales mix on our net sales and the trends of mix and other cost impacts on our COGS.In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we also use non-GAAP financial measures, as listed and defined below, for operational and financial decision making and to assess Company and segment business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. We provided reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure.Our management uses these metrics to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the Board of Directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe these measures are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance.We also use underlying COGS per hectoliter, as well as the year over year change in such metric, as a key metric for analyzing our results. This metric is calculated as underlying COGS divided by financial volume for the respective period.Our guidance or long-term targets for any of the measures noted above are also non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been adjusted for non-GAAP adjustment items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements. When we provide guidance for any of the various non-GAAP metrics described above, we do not provide reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures as we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the non-GAAP adjustment items. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjustment items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our Company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable efforts.RECONCILIATION TO NEAREST U.S. GAAP MEASURESReconciliation by Line Item(In millions, except per share data) (Unaudited)For the three months ended December 31, 2025Cost of goods soldMarketing, general and administrative expensesIncome (loss) before income taxesNet income (loss) attributable to MCBCDiluted earnings per shareReported (U.S. GAAP)$(1,694.1)$(610.9)$266.3$238.3$1.22Non-GAAP adjustments (pre-tax)Restructuring(1)——35.034.90.18Unrealized mark-to-market (gains) losses(11.4)—(11.4)(11.4)(0.06)Other items(2)—0.36.96.00.03Tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and other discrete tax items———(7.8)(0.04)Redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments(3)———(22.8)(0.12)Underlying (Non-GAAP)$(1,705.5)$(610.6)$296.8$237.21.21(1)On October 20, 2025, we announced an Americas Restructuring Plan designed to create a leaner, more agile Americas segment while advancing our ability to reinvest in the business and position our Company for future growth.
