HIGHLIGHTS

•Net sales increased 5% driven by a 5.5% increase in shipment volumes.

•Operating margin decreased 160 bps to 39.0% as lower tariff expenses and favorable fixed cost absorption were more than offset by increased marketing investment and other SG&A spend.

•Depletions decreased 0.6% as declines for Modelo Especial of approximately 2% and Corona Extra of approximately 5% were partially offset by growth from Pacifico, Victoria, and the Modelo Chelada brands of approximately 19%, 15%, and 5%, respectively. One additional sell day during the quarter was largely offset by a shift in the timing of the Labor Day holiday, resulting in minimal impact on underlying depletion trends.

•Our Beer Business ranked as the #1 dollar and volume share gainer in Circana U.S. tracked channels and had 5 of the top-15 dollar share gaining brands across the entire U.S. beer category:

◦Modelo Especial maintained its position as the #1 brand by dollar sales and was the #3 dollar share gainer. Within the brand family, Modelo Chelada Limón y Sal was the #6 dollar share gainer;

◦Corona Extra remained a top-five brand by dollar sales, while Corona Familiar was the #14 dollar share gainer;
