NOVEMBER 05, 2015 / 4:00PM, TAP - Q3 2015 Molson Coors Brewing Company Earnings Conference Call As you know, Anheuser Busch InBev announced yesterday a further extension of its possible offer for all of the outstanding share capital of SAB Miller and there has been some related press speculation that mentions Molson Coors. As a matter of policy, Molson Coors does not comment on market rumors and we will not be discussing the AB InBev SAB Miller situation on our call this morning, including during the Q&A session at the end. We will devote our time this morning to our third quarter financial results and outlook for the balance of 2015. Now I'd like to turn the call over to Mark Hunter, President and CEO of Molson Coors. Mark Hunter - Molson Coors Brewing Company - President and CEO, Molson Coors Brewing Company Thanks, Dave. Hello, and welcome everybody to the Molson Coors earnings call. We really appreciate your joining us today. With me on the call this morning I have Gavin Hattersley, the CFO of Molson Coors and the CEO of MillerCoors; Stewart Glendinning, our Canada CEO; Simon Cox, our CEO of Europe; Kandy Anand, our International CEO; Sam Walker, our Chief Legal and People Officer; Brian Tabolt, our controller; and, obviously, Dave Dunnewald, who you just heard from, our VP of Investor Relations. In the third quarter, our worldwide volume increased 0.7% driven by strong growth in Europe and international. Underlying earnings were lower due to unfavorable foreign currency, increased brand investment and the termination of our Miller brands agreement in Canada and the Modello brands and Heineken Brewing contracts in the UK earlier this year. We increased gross margins on a consolidated business basis driven by the US and Europe. We invested more in our brands in all of our businesses except international where lower marketing was primarily due to the substantial restructuring of our China business this year. In the quarter, we continued to transform our portfolios towards above premium, craft and cider. We expanded the depth and reach of our international brands in fast- growing markets and we increased our commercial capability. We also continued to drive meaningful cash generation and disciplined cash and capital allocation. More specifically, in the US MillerCoors achieved its best quarterly performance in premium lights in three years as both Coors Light and Miller Lite built momentum and grew share of the segment. We continued to roll out Coors Light's new visual identity and Miller Lite launched its [steiny] bottle and grew quarterly volume for the second time in the past year. Outside of the US and Canada, Coors Light grew strongly. And we'll soon launch our largest global brand into the highly profitable Columbian market. MillerCoors announced acquisition of a majority interest in the Saint Archer Brewing Company, a San Diego based brewer of award-winning craft ales. This acquisition will further strengthen our global craft portfolio which grew nearly 10% in the third quarter. The integration of the Rekorderlig cider business into our UK and Ireland portfolio has gone well and our global cyber portfolio grew a low single-digit rate in the quarter. We continue to restructure our business to ensure we are fit for the future, including the restructuring of our China business, the planned closure of the MillerCoors Eden brewing next year, following the closure of our Alton, UK brewery in May of this year. And importantly we've reached an agreement to sell our Vancouver brewery which will allow us to build a more efficient and flexible brewery in British Columbia. Other third quarter performance headlines are as follows. Worldwide volume increased 0.7% driven by Europe and international and despite the impact of the termination of the Miller brand's agreement in Canada and the Modello brands contract in the UK. Coors Light volume grew 1% globally, driven by nearly 20% volume growth outside of the US and Canada. Our net sales per hectoliter decreased 2.3% in constant currency, driven by mix changes within our Europe and international businesses, including the impact of terminating the Modello brands and Heineken contract brewing agreements in the UK, and we grew net pricing in the US, Canada and Europe in local currency. Constant currency net sales increased 0.7% due to higher volume in Europe and international, along with the positive net pricing in Canada and Europe. By adding in the effect of foreign currency, reported net sales declined 12.9%. Underlying pretax income of $295.4 million was down 10.9%, but decreased 1.7% on a constant-currency basis, with the key drivers being increased brand investment and well-documented contract terminations. 3 THOMSON REUTERS STREETEVENTS | www.streetevents.com | Contact Us ©2015 Thomson Reuters.

NOVEMBER 05, 2015 / 4:00PM, TAP - Q3 2015 Molson Coors Brewing Company Earnings Conference Call Underlying aftertax income deceased 4.3% driven by unfavorable foreign currency, higher brand investments and terminated contracts. And these factors were partially offset by higher volume, positive net pricing, a lower tax rate, and the results of our cost saving initiatives. US GAAP net income from continuing operations increased $49.4 million from a year ago due to lower brand impairment charges this year in Europe. We incurred impairment charges of $275 million this quarter related to some of our Europe brands, including the Jelen brand because of continued economic and competitive challenges and increased discount rates across the region. We have also changed accounting treatment of these brands from indefinite lived to definite lived, which we expect to increase amortization expense by approximately $50 million per year based on current foreign exchange rates. Underlying EBITDA in the quarter was $420.2 million, a 10.4% decrease from a year ago driven almost entirely by unfavorable foreign currency movements. Year-to-date underlying EBITDA was $1.104 billion, down 7.7% from a year ago. We also continued to implement our four-year $1 billion stock buyback program with $50 million of cash used in the third quarter to repurchase more than 689,000 Class B common shares from July through early October. Please note that in August we committed another $50 million of cash to be used for stock repurchases during the fourth quarter under accelerated share repurchase program.

  • Millercoors Reports Lower Third Quarter Underlying Net Income
    MILLERCOORS REPORTS LOWER THIRD QUARTER UNDERLYING NET INCOME BUT HIGHER NET REVENUE PER BARREL Coors Light and Miller Lite Gain Market Share of Premium Light Segment in the Third Quarter November 5, 2015 (London and Denver) – SABMiller plc (LN:SAB; OTC:SABMRY) and Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) reported that third quarter MillerCoors underlying net income declined 8.6 percent to $344.4 million versus the same period in the prior year, driven by lower volume and increased marketing investment, partially offset by lower cost of sales, positive sales mix and net pricing growth. For the second consecutive quarter, Coors Light and Miller Lite both gained market share of the Premium Light segment, with Miller Lite delivering volume growth. Combined, Coors Light and Miller Lite delivered their best quarterly performance in three years. “As we relentlessly pursue total portfolio growth, job number one is taking share and growing our American Light Lagers. This past quarter, we took a step in this direction by taking segment share with both Coors Light and Miller Lite,” said Gavin Hattersley, MillerCoors Chief Executive Officer. “We have a lot of work ahead of us to address our economy segment performance, but all other segments across our portfolio are in good shape as we close out the year. Net income was down this quarter due to lower volume, partially due to bringing distributor inventories down as anticipated coming out of peak-selling season, and increased media investments across our brands.” Third Quarter Highlights Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in U.S. dollars and calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

    MILLERCOORS REPORTS 2015 UNDERLYING NET INCOME OF $1.328 BILLION, IN-LINE WITH PRIOR YEAR Fourth Quarter Underlying Net Income Decreased 10.2%; Coors Light and Miller Lite Gain Market Share of the Premium Light Segment for Quarter and Year February 11, 2016 (London and Denver) – SABMiller plc (LN:SAB; OTC:SABMRY) and Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) reported that MillerCoors underlying net income for the full year was $1.328 billion, which was in-line with 2014. Fourth quarter underlying net income decreased 10.2 percent to $191.5 million versus the same period in the prior year, driven by lower volume and increased marketing and information technology investment, partially offset by lower cost of goods sold, net pricing growth and positive sales mix. For the third consecutive quarter, Coors Light and Miller Lite each gained share of the Premium Light segment. Domestic net revenue per barrel increased 1.5% for both the quarter and year. “We began to drive substantial improvements to our business in the latter half of 2015 that were necessary to create the foundation for growth we aim to achieve in the years ahead,” said Gavin Hattersley, MillerCoors Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, there were a number of positives in the fourth quarter as our net revenue per barrel again increased, and we invested significantly more in our brands, which resulted in our flagship brands taking further share in the Premium Light segment, while a number of our Above Premium brands also continued their growth.” Full Year and Fourth Quarter Highlights Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in U.S.
