DENVER & MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) today reported results for the 2017 third quarter. Molson Coors president and chief executive officer Mark Hunter said:

"In reviewing our performance in the quarter, as well as year to date, we are building traction against our strategic priorities, as indicated by delivering growth in global brand volume, net sales per hectoliter and underlying EBITDA margin. Despite challenging market conditions in North America, we remain on track to deliver our 2017 business and financial plans and exceed our original cost savings targets and cash flow goals, as well as maintain our investment-grade debt ratings.

Mark added, "Year to date, we have delivered worldwide brand volume growth, driven by our global priority brands, and on a constant-currency basis, NSR per hectoliter is up more than 2 percent, as our focus on portfolio premiumization has driven pricing and mix benefits. Our above-premium brands have grown more than 20 percent year to date and now represent nearly one-fifth of our global volume. We have also improved our EBITDA margins this year while investing in the business.

"For the medium term, we continue to expect underlying EBITDA margins to increase an annual average of 30 to 60 basis points over the next three to four years. For 2017, we anticipate margins being in this range.

"One year on from the close of the MillerCoors transaction, Molson Coors is driving a cohesive First Choice commercial agenda, an expanded international business, a more efficient global organization, and a relentless focus on financial performance, all underpinned by highly engaged employees who are playing to win."

Quarterly Highlights (versus Third Quarter 2016 Pro Forma Results, unless otherwise noted)

• Net sales: $2.88 billion, decreased 2.1 percent, due to lower financial volumes, partially offset by positive global pricing, sales mix, royalty volume and foreign currency movements. Net sales in constant currency declined 3.0 percent.
• Net sales per HL: $109.67, increased 2.9 percent, and 1.9 percent in constant currency, driven by higher global pricing and sales mix.
• Volume: Worldwide brand volume of 25.5 million hectoliters increased 0.6 percent due to strong growth in Europe and International, partially as a result of adding the Miller global brands business and also from growth in some of our core brands. Global priority brand volume increased 2.4 percent. Financial volume of 26.3 million hectoliters decreased 4.8 percent, driven by the U.S. and Canada, which were adversely impacted by reductions in wholesaler inventories, contract brewing and brand volumes. These volume declines were partially offset by growth in both Europe and International due to added Miller International brand volumes, as well as positive organic brand performance.
• U.S. GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to MCBC decreased 12.1 percent as a result of a higher tax rate, lower financial volume, higher brand amortization, and higher general and administrative costs, partially offset by positive pricing and mix, cost savings, lower interest expense and unrealized mark-to-market gains on our commodity positions.
• Underlying net income (non-GAAP) decreased 3.5 percent, driven by lower financial volume, along with higher brand amortization expense, general and administrative costs, and effective tax rate, partially offset by positive pricing and mix, cost savings and lower interest expense.
• The company looks at value creation from the MillerCoors transaction through the lens of the sum of three numbers. In the third quarter, these numbers were:
  • Underlying net earnings of $289.7 million, plus…
  • $109 million of transaction-related cash tax benefits and…
  • $11 million of transaction-related after-tax book amortization.
  • To calculate this measure on a per-share basis, the company had 216.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the third quarter.
• Underlying EBITDA: Decreased 0.4 percent on a reported basis and decreased 1.2 percent on a constant-currency basis.
• U.S. GAAP cash from operations: Net cash from operating activities for the first three quarters of 2017 was $1,145.4 million, which represents an increase of $515.2 million from actual prior year results, driven by the addition of the other 58 percent of MillerCoors cash flows, as well as lower cash paid for taxes, which were partially offset by higher cash paid for interest.
• Underlying free cash flow: $836.4 million for the first three quarters of 2017, a 78.2 percent increase from actual prior year results of $469.4 million, driven by the same factors as cash from operations, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.
• Debt: Total debt at the end of the third quarter was $12.319 billion, and cash and cash equivalents totaled $971.3 million, resulting in net debt of $11.348 billion, which is $164 million lower than at the beginning of the year. As planned, we also made an additional, discretionary contribution of $200 million to our U.S. defined-benefit pension plan in the third quarter as part of our deleveraging goals.

United States Business (MillerCoors) (versus Third Quarter 2016 Pro Forma Results)

• Volume: U.S. domestic sales-to-retailers volume (STRs, trading-day-adjusted) declined 2.9 percent for the quarter, driven by lower volume in the Premium Light and Below Premium segments. Domestic sales-to-wholesalers volume (STWs) decreased 7.2 percent, partially driven by a reduction in distributor inventories and one less trading day this quarter.
• Revenue: Domestic net sales per hectoliter, which excludes contract brewing and company-owned-distributor sales, grew 1.2 percent as a result of higher net pricing, partially offset by negative sales mix.
• Cost of goods sold (COGS) per hectoliter decreased 0.1 percent, driven by cost savings partially offset by volume deleverage and higher input costs.
• Marketing, general and administrative (MG&A) expense decreased 5.5 percent due to lower marketing and information technology investments.
• On a U.S. GAAP basis, United States income from continuing operations before income taxes increased 5.3 percent to $365.1 million, primarily due to higher net pricing; cost savings; lower MG&A expenses; net interest income as a result of a reduction in mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest liabilities; and lower special charges related to the 2016 Eden, North Carolina, brewery closure.
• United States underlying EBITDA increased 0.8 percent to $475.6 million, driven by higher net pricing, cost savings and lower MG&A expenses, partially offset by the impact of lower shipment volumes.

Canada Business

• Volume: Canada brand volume decreased 1.7 percent in the third quarter, as a result of lower domestic volumes, partially offset by the return of the Miller brands to our portfolio. Canada financial volume, which includes contract brewing volume, decreased 4.7 percent primarily due to a timing-related reduction in wholesale inventories, as well as lower contract brewing volume.
• Revenue: Net sales per hectoliter increased 2.0 percent in local currency, primarily due to positive pricing and brand mix.
• COGS per hectoliter increased 3.1 percent in local currency due to volume deleverage, mix shift, and unfavorable transactional foreign currency impacts, partially offset by cost savings.
• MG&A expense increased 5.9 percent in local currency, driven primarily by higher brand amortization expense of approximately $10 million related to changing the Molson brands to definite-lived intangible assets last year.
• On a U.S. GAAP basis, Canada reported a 15.5 percent decrease in income from continuing operations before income taxes to $76.3 million, compared to the prior year, which was attributable to lower domestic volume and higher brand amortization expense.
• Canada underlying EBITDA decreased 0.5 percent to $112.1 million in the quarter, driven by the impact of lower domestic volume and fixed-cost deleverage, partially offset by positive pricing and favorable foreign currency.

Europe Business

• Volume: Europe brand volume increased 9.6 percent in the third quarter versus a year ago, primarily driven by the transfer of royalty and export brand volume across Europe from our International business and the addition of the Miller brands, along with growth from our core and above-premium brands. Europe financial volume, which includes contract brewing and factored brands but excludes royalty volume, increased 2.7 percent.
• Revenue: Europe net sales per hectoliter increased 4.1 percent in local currency, due to positive mix and net pricing.
• COGS per hectoliter increased 2.2 percent in local currency, primarily driven by mix shift to higher-cost brands and geographies, partially offset by higher net pension benefit this year.
• MG&A expense increased 7.4 percent in local currency, due to higher brand investments and general and administrative costs, including related to the addition of the Miller brands this year.
• On a U.S. GAAP basis, Europe reported income from continuing operations before income taxes of $98.3 million, a 0.2 percent decrease compared to the prior year due to cycling a gain on the sale of a non-operating asset in the U.K. and the receipt of net insurance proceeds last year related to the Balkan floods in 2014.
• Europe underlying EBITDA increased 13.6 percent to $140.3 million, driven by higher volume, positive sales mix and pricing, increased net pension benefit and favorable foreign currency.

International Business

• Volume: International brand volume increased by 64.7 percent in the third quarter, driven by the transfer of the Puerto Rico business from MillerCoors, Coors Light growth primarily in Latin America, and the addition of the Miller global brands business.
• Revenue: Net sales per hectoliter decreased 11.6 percent, driven by sales mix changes, partially offset by positive pricing.
• COGS per hectoliter decreased 2.8 percent, due to sales mix changes.
• MG&A expense increased 69.8 percent, driven by increased brand investments, including higher brand amortization expense, along with higher organization and integration costs related to the acquisition of the Miller global brands business.
• On a U.S. GAAP basis, International segment reported a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $6.0 million versus a loss of $2.7 million a year ago, driven by higher brand amortization and integration costs related to the acquisition of the Miller global brands business, along with the loss of the Modelo contract in Japan, partially offset by higher volume and positive pricing.
• International underlying EBITDA was a loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter, versus a loss of $1.8 million a year ago, driven by higher volume and positive pricing, partially offset by higher MG&A expense and the loss of the Modelo contract in Japan.

Corporate

• On a U.S. GAAP basis, Corporate loss from continuing operations on a reported basis was $102.1 million in the third quarter compared to a loss of $119.6 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher unrealized mark-to-market gains on commodity swaps and lower costs this year related to the MillerCoors acquisition, partially offset by higher investments in our global growth initiatives.
• Corporate underlying EBITDA was a loss of $47.3 million for the third quarter versus a $26.7 million loss in the prior year, driven primarily by higher global investments in commercial, supply chain and information technology, as well as unfavorable foreign currency impacts and certain cost transfers from business units.

U.S. GAAP effective tax rate		33.7	%		22.8	%

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 third quarter, MCBC recognized a net special charge of $4.1 million, primarily driven by accelerated depreciation related to the planned closure of breweries in Canada and the U.K., partially offset by a gain on the sale of brewery property in Bulgaria.
• Additionally during the third quarter, we recorded other non-core net benefits of $29.8 million, primarily driven by unrealized mark-to-market gains on commodity hedges, partially offset by Acquisition-related expenses.

The pro forma financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of MCBC and MillerCoors, both prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and gives effect to the acquisition of the remaining 58 percent interest of MillerCoors and the completed financing as if they were completed on January 1, 2016. Our U.S. segment pro forma information has been updated from the version previously provided on February 14, 2017, to reflect the removal of the Puerto Rico business effective as of January 1, 2017, from the results of the MillerCoors business, which were previously reported as part of the U.S. segment, and are now reported within the International segment. Pro forma adjustments are based on items that are factually supportable, are directly attributable to the acquisition or the related completed financing, and are expected to have a continuing impact on MCBC's results of operations and/or financial position. Any nonrecurring items directly attributable to the acquisition or the related completed financing are excluded in the pro forma statements of operations. Pro forma information does not include adjustments for costs related to integration activities following the completion of the acquisition, synergies or other cost savings that have been or may be achieved by the combined businesses. The pro forma information is unaudited, based on significant estimates. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the results of operations of MCBC that actually would have resulted, had the acquisition and the related financing occurred at the date indicated, nor does this information project the results of operations of MCBC for any future dates or periods.

Actual and Pro Forma Worldwide Brand and Financial Volumes

As a result of the Acquisition, we aligned our volume reporting policies resulting in adjustments to our historically reported volumes. Specifically, financial volume for all consolidated segments has been recast to include contract brewing and wholesaler non-owned brand volumes (including factored brands in Europe and non-owned brands distributed in the U.S.), as the corresponding sales are reported within our gross sales amounts. Additionally, financial volumes continue to include our owned brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographic markets, net of returns and allowances.

Worldwide brand volume reflects only owned 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. 2017 and pro forma worldwide brand volume includes 100 percent of MillerCoors brand volume. Contract brewing and wholesaler volume is included within financial volume as noted above, but is removed from worldwide brand volume as this is non-owned volume for which we do not directly control performance. We also modified our worldwide brand volume definition to include an adjustment from Sales-to-Wholesaler (STW) volume to Sales-to-Retailer (STR) volume. We believe the STR metric is important because, unlike STWs, it provides the closest indication of the performance of our brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends. Prior periods presented have been revised to reflect these changes. We believe this definition of worldwide brand volume more closely aligns with how we measure the performance of our owned brands within the markets in which they are sold. Effective January 1, 2017, European markets, including Sweden, Spain, Germany, Ukraine and Russia, which were previously reported under our International segment, are now presented within our Europe segment. Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, the results of the MillerCoors Puerto Rico business, which were previously reported as part of the U.S. segment, are now reported within the International segment.

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 "underlying pretax and net income," "underlying income per diluted share," "underlying effective tax rate," and "underlying free cash flow," 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, 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. 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 acquisition and integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, 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 Corporate MG&A, underlying depreciation and amortization, underlying EBITDA margin, underlying free cash flow, underlying effective tax rate, and underlying Corporate net interest expense 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 acquisition and integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, 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.
