Molson Coors Reports 2021 Second Quarter Results

Q2 Delivers Best Quarterly Top-line Growth in More Than a Decade as Company Continues to Deliver on its Revitalization Plan and Premiumize its Portfolio

Improves Financial Flexibility, Deleverages the Balance Sheet and Reinstates a Dividend

Reaffirms 2021 Financial Guidance as Company Reinvests in the Business to Drive Long-term Revenue and Underlying EBITDA Growth

GOLDEN, Colo. & MONTREAL--()--Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE: TAP, TAP.A; TSX: TPX.A, TPX.B) today reported results for the 2021 second quarter.

2021 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net sales revenue increased 17.4% reported and 13.7% in constant currency, primarily due to higher financial volumes [North America increased 1.9% and Europe increased 17.8%] and higher net sales per hectoliter.
  • Net sales revenue per hectoliter increased 5.0%, on a brand volume basis, primarily due to positive mix in North America and Europe, driven by channel mix and historic improvement in brand mix in the U.S., positive brand mix in Europe, plus higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable geographic mix.
  • U.S. GAAP net income attributable to MCBC of $388.6 million, $1.79 per share on a diluted basis. Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.58 per share increased 1.9%.
  • Underlying (Non-GAAP) EBITDA of $697.8 million decreased 1.3% in constant currency.

CEO AND CFO PERSPECTIVES

In the second quarter, we made significant progress against our revitalization plan that we laid out nearly two years ago. Above premium brand volumes reached a record-high portion of our U.S. portfolio compared to any prior quarter since the creation of the MillerCoors joint venture in 2008 and a record-high portion of our European portfolio, while we continued to invest in our capabilities, including the announcement of a new hard seltzer canning line in the U.K. and investments to quadruple our production of hard seltzer in Canada. We’re continuing to succeed in emerging markets and beyond beer, as our Latin America volume grew by triple digits versus prior year and non-alc brands like ZOA have already surpassed our expectations for the entire year. We’re also delivering on our commitment to invest in our communities and people, as we recently announced another $1.5 million investment in 33 organizations across North America dedicated to empowerment, equity and justice.

Gavin Hattersley, President and Chief Executive Officer Statement:

“This quarter represents the best results we have had since implementing our revitalization plan nearly two years ago, and it delivered the most top-line growth of any quarter in over a decade. We’ve reached the point where the investments, partnerships and product launches that were byproducts of the revitalization plan are now bearing results, and we plan to put our foot even more firmly on the gas pedal as we drive towards sustainable top- and bottom-line growth for this business.”

Tracey Joubert, Chief Financial Officer Statement:

“We are proud of our second quarter operating performance, which underscores our progress in premiumizing our product portfolio. Our work under the revitalization plan coupled with our improved financial flexibility has enabled us to invest in our business, continue to de-lever our balance sheet and to reinstate a dividend, while reaffirming our financial guidance for 2021.”

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS)

  • Net sales revenue: increased 17.4% on a reported basis, and 13.7% in constant currency primarily due to financial volume growth in the quarter, favorable brand and channel mix and positive net pricing in North America and Europe. Financial volume increased 5.5% due to improving levels of on-premise re-openings, higher above premium and core brand volumes, as well as favorable shipment timing in the U.S., partially offset by lower economy brand volumes. Net sales per hectoliter on a brand volume basis grew 5.0% in constant currency as a result of positive brand and channel mix through premiumization of the portfolio, increased on-premise re-openings and positive net pricing in North America and Europe, partially offset by unfavorable geographic mix due to the strong brand volume growth in Latin America and Europe.
  • Cost of goods sold (COGS) per hectoliter: increased 8.6% on a reported basis primarily due to cost inflation, including higher transportation and packaging materials costs, unfavorable brand and channel mix associated with higher above premium volumes and on-premise re-openings, increased inventory obsolescence, cycling the prior year favorable resolution of a property tax appeal for the Golden, Colorado brewery and unfavorable foreign exchange movements, partially offset by changes to unrealized mark-to-market commodity positions, cost savings, volume leverage and cycling prior year charges for temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees. Underlying COGS per hectoliter: increased 8.0% in constant currency primarily due to cost inflation, unfavorable brand and channel mix, increased inventory obsolescence and cycling the above-mentioned prior year favorable property tax appeal resolution, partially offset by cost savings and volume leverage.
  • Marketing, general & administrative (MG&A): increased 30.0% on a reported basis. Underlying MG&A: increased 25.3% in constant currency due to higher investments behind our core brands and new innovations, as well as cycling targeted reductions and shifts in timing of marketing spend related to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions in the prior year.
  • U.S. GAAP pretax income: increased 30.1% due to higher volumes, favorable net pricing, positive brand and channel mix, lower special items, as well as favorable unrealized mark-to-market changes on commodity positions, partially offset by higher marketing investment, as detailed above, and COGS inflation.
  • Underlying EBITDA: decreased 1.3% in constant currency, due to increased marketing investment behind our core brands and new innovations, cycling targeted cost reductions in the prior year and COGS inflation, partially offset by the net sales revenue growth discussed above.
  • U.S. GAAP cash from operations: net cash provided by operating activities was $748.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021compared to $1,059.9 million in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable timing of working capital and higher cash paid for taxes. Notably, working capital and cash paid for taxes benefited in the prior year from over $500 million of tax deferrals from various government-sponsored payment deferral programs initiated in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
  • Underlying free cash flow: cash received of $558.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which represents a decrease in cash received of $238.2 million from the prior year, primarily due to the unfavorable timing of working capital and higher cash paid for taxes discussed above, partially offset by favorable timing of cash paid for capital expenditures.
  • Debt: Total debt at the end of the second quarter of 2021 was $8.2 billion, and cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.3 billion, resulting in net debt of $6.9 billion. Continuing our commitment to deleverage, in July 2021, we repaid in full $1.0 billion 2.1% senior notes that matured on July 15, 2021 using a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from commercial paper issuances.

QUARTERLY SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS (VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS)

North America Business

  • Revenue: Net sales on a reported basis, increased 10.1% and 8.3% in constant currency due to higher net sales per hectoliter and a 1.9% increase in financial volume driven by favorable shipment timing in the U.S. where domestic shipments increased 1.2%, as well as strong performance in Latin America. North America brand volumes decreased 1.0% including a 4.0% decrease in the U.S. driven by de-prioritization of non-core SKUs in the economy segment while the above premium and premium segments grew versus prior year. Canada brand volume decreased 5.1% with continued on-premise restrictions, while Latin America grew triple digits primarily due to the lower impact of on-premise restrictions in the current quarter.

    Net sales per hectoliter on a brand volume basis increased 4.7% in constant currency due to positive brand mix in the U.S. and net pricing increases in the U.S. and Canada, partially offset by unfavorable geographic mix attributed to growing license volume in Latin America. In the U.S., net sales per hectoliter on a brand volume basis increased 6.9% including positive brand mix as we continue to premiumize our portfolio aided by innovation brands. The rate favorability, coupled with financial volume increases, resulted in an 8.2% increase in net sales revenue in the U.S. Net sales per hectoliter on a brand volume basis also increased in Canada, due to higher net pricing and positive sales mix, and in Latin America due to positive sales mix.
  • U.S. GAAP pretax income: increased 4.1% on a reported basis due to net pricing increases, lower special charges, favorable brand mix in the U.S., cost savings in COGS, higher financial volumes and cycling prior year charges for temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees, partially offset by higher MG&A expense and inflation within COGS, including higher transportation, brewery, and packaging materials costs, increased inventory obsolescence, as well as cycling the prior year favorable resolution of a property tax appeal for the Golden, Colorado brewery. The higher MG&A expense reflects increased marketing investment on innovation brands as well as cycling lower prior year marketing spend in areas impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
  • Underlying EBITDA: decreased 10.7% in constant currency due to the same factors as U.S. GAAP pretax income results with the exception of the lower special charges and the prior year "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees. The prior year "thank you" pay and related program costs were approximately $16 million and were excluded as non-GAAP adjustments for underlying results.

Europe Business

  • Revenue: Net sales on a reported basis, increased 69.5% and 52.3% in constant currency due to higher volumes and higher net sales per hectoliter. Financial volume increased 17.8% and brand volumes increased 15.4%, due to progressive re-opening of the on-premise channel during the quarter compared to greater restrictions in the same period of the prior year. Net sales per hectoliter on a brand volume basis increased 16.6% in constant currency due to favorable channel, geographic and brand mix and positive net pricing.
  • U.S. GAAP pretax income: income of $47.4 million compared to a loss of $11.0 million in the prior year due to higher financial volumes as a result of less severe restrictions in the on-premise channel related to the coronavirus pandemic across Europe, favorable channel, geographic and brand mix, positive net pricing, and the impacts of favorable foreign currency movements, partially offset by higher MG&A expenses due to lower spend in the prior year driven by cost mitigation efforts as a result of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and higher special items charges.
  • Underlying EBITDA: increased 189.0% in constant currency due to the gross profit impacts of higher financial volumes, favorable mix and positive net pricing, partly offset by higher MG&A expense.

See Appendix for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

  • The decrease in our second quarter U.S. GAAP effective tax rate was primarily due to lower net discrete tax expense recognized in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by the effect of proportionally higher pretax income in jurisdictions with a higher tax rate. The decrease in discrete income tax expense is primarily due to approximately $135 million of discrete tax expense related to the enactment of the final hybrid regulations by the U.S. Department of the Treasury recognized in the second quarter of 2020, partly offset by approximately $18 million of discrete tax expense related to remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities due to an increase in the U.K. corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25% recognized in the second quarter of 2021.

Special and Other Non-Core Items

The following special and other non-core items have been excluded from underlying results. See the Appendix for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.

  • During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized net special charges of $9.0 million, primarily due to asset abandonment charges related to previously disclosed brewery closures in our North America and Europe segments as well as restructuring charges related to the revitalization plan.
  • Additionally during the second quarter of 2021, we recorded other non-core net benefits of $98.4 million primarily due to changes in our unrealized mark-to-market positions on commodity hedges.

2021 OUTLOOK

While uncertainty remains regarding the coronavirus pandemic, including the timing and strength of the recovery, we continue to expect the following results for the full year 2021, which we consider a year of investment:

  • Net sales revenue: mid-single digit increase versus 2020 on a constant currency basis.
  • Underlying EBITDA: approximately flat compared to 2020 on a constant currency basis.
  • Deleverage: We intend to maintain our investment grade rating as demonstrated by our continued deleveraging actions. We expect to achieve a net debt to underlying EBITDA ratio of approximately 3.25x by the end of 2021 and below 3.0x by the end of 2022.
  • Underlying depreciation and amortization: approximately $800 million.
  • Consolidated net interest expense: approximately $270 million, plus or minus 5%.
  • Underlying effective tax rate: in the range of 20% to 23% for 2021.

On July 15, 2021, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend on its Class A and Class B common shares of $0.34 per share, payable September 17, 2021, to shareholders of record on August 30, 2021. Similarly, the board of directors of Molson Coors Canada Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the company, on July 15, 2021, declared a quarterly dividend of approximately CDN$0.42 per share (the Canadian dollar equivalent of the dividend declared on Molson Coors stock) payable on September 17, 2021, to its Class A and Class B exchangeable shareholders of record on August 30, 2021. The board believes the quarterly dividend amount declared is sustainable and gives room for future increases as business performance improves.

Includes gross inter-segment volumes, sales and purchases, which are eliminated in the consolidated totals. The unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps, which are economic hedges, are recorded as cost of goods sold within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility.

Worldwide brand volume (or "brand volume" when discussed by segment) reflects owned or actively managed brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets (net of returns and allowances), royalty volume and our proportionate share of equity investment worldwide brand volume calculated consistently with MCBC owned volume. Financial volume represents owned brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographical markets, net of returns and allowances as well as contract brewing, wholesale non-owned brand volume and company-owned distribution volume. Contract brewing and wholesaler 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. 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.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"), we also present constant currency, "underlying COGS per hectoliter" (COGS adjusted for non-GAAP items divided by reported financial volume), "underlying MG&A," "underlying net income," "underlying income per diluted share," "underlying effective tax rate" and "underlying free cash flow" as well as net sales and pre-tax income in constant currency, among others, which are non-GAAP measures and should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. We also present underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("underlying EBITDA") as a non-GAAP measure. Our management uses underlying income, underlying income per diluted share, underlying EBITDA and underlying effective tax rate as measures of operating performance, as well as underlying free cash flow in the measure of cash generated from core operations, 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 that underlying income, underlying income per diluted share, underlying EBITDA and underlying effective tax rate performance are used by, and are useful to, investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance, as well as underlying free cash flow in evaluating our generation of cash from core operations, because they provide an additional tool to evaluate our performance without regard to special and non-core items, the related tax effects and certain discrete tax items, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and capital structure. In addition to the reasons discussed above, we consider underlying free cash flow an important measure of our ability to generate cash, grow our business and enhance shareholder value, driven by core operations and after adjusting for non-core items. In addition, constant-currency results exclude the impact of foreign currency movements. For discussion and analysis of our liquidity, see the consolidated statements of cash flows and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our latest Form 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC.

We have provided reconciliations of all historical non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measure and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure. These adjustments consist of special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements as well as other non-core items, such as integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, the related tax effects and certain discrete tax items included in our U.S. GAAP results that warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment.

Our guidance for underlying depreciation and amortization, underlying effective tax rate and underlying EBITDA are also non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise have been adjusted for special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements as well as other non-core items, such as integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, the related tax effects and certain discrete tax items included in our U.S. GAAP results that warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment. We are unable to reconcile the above described guidance measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of the special and other non-core items. By their very nature, special and other non-core items are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures.

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure utilized by Molson Coors management to measure performance, excluding the impact of translational and certain transactional foreign currency movements, and is intended to be indicative of results in local currency. As we operate in various foreign countries where the local currency may strengthen or weaken significantly versus the U.S. dollar or other currencies used in operations, we utilize a constant currency measure as an additional metric to evaluate the underlying performance of each business without consideration of foreign currency movements. This information is non-GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to (not a substitute for) our reported results of operations under U.S. GAAP. We present all percentage changes for net sales, underlying COGS, underlying MG&A and underlying EBITDA in constant currency and calculate the impact of foreign exchange by translating our current period local currency results (that also include the impact of the comparable prior-period currency hedging activities) at the average exchange rates during the respective period throughout the year used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year period. The result is the current-period results in U.S. dollars, as if foreign exchange rates had not changed from the prior-year period. Additionally, we exclude any non-operating transactional foreign currency impacts, reported within the Other Income/Expense, net line item, from our current period results.

Adjustments related to the tax effect of special and non-core items as well as discrete tax items excluded from our underlying effective tax rate such as those related to legislative activity, including expense recognized due to remeasurement of our deferred tax balances as a result of tax rate changes.

(2)

 

The decrease in discrete income tax expense is primarily due to approximately $135 million of discrete tax expense related to the enactment of the final hybrid regulations by the U.S. Department of the Treasury recognized in the second quarter of 2020, partly offset by approximately $18 million of discrete tax expense related to remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities due to an increase in the U.K. corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25% recognized in the second quarter of 2021.

The unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps, which are economic hedges, are recorded as cost of goods sold within Unallocated. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility.

(3)

 

See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5, "Special Items" of the Form 10-Q for detailed discussion of special items. Special items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, includes accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation of $4.9 million and $9.7 million, respectively. These accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation are included in our adjustments to arrive at underlying EBITDA.

(4)

 

Represents adjustments to remove amounts related to interest, depreciation and amortization included in the adjustments to underlying income above, as these items are added back as adjustments to net income attributable to MCBC.
