Cybersecurity Incident
During March 2021, we experienced a systems outage that was caused by a cybersecurity incident. We engaged leading forensic information technology firms and legal counsel to assist our investigation into the incident and we restored our systems after working to get the systems back up as quickly as possible. Despite these actions, we experienced some delays and disruptions to our business, including brewery operations, production and shipments. This incident caused us to not produce or ship as much as we would have in the first quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, we made progress recovering from the incident with increased shipments and continue to expect to recover fully by the end of 2021. In addition, we incurred certain incremental net one-time costs of $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts, net of insurance recoveries.

In 2021, we have begun to see initial improvements in the marketplace related to the coronavirus global pandemic as on-premise locations begin to open around the world at varying degrees. The extent to which our operations will continue to be impacted by the pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the outbreakpandemic, including outbreaks of variants, the rate of vaccination and actions by government authoritiesthe efficacy of vaccines against the coronavirus and related variants. We continue to containactively monitor the ongoing evolution of the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.and resulting impacts to our business.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded charges of $15.5 million within cost of goods sold related to temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees. Additionally, in order to support and demonstrate our commitment to the continued viability of the many bars and restaurants which have beenwere negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, during the first quarter of 2020, we initiated temporary keg relief programs in many of our markets. As part of these voluntary programs, weWe committed to provide customers with reimbursements for untapped kegs that meetmet certain established return requirements.requirements in conjunction with the voluntary programs. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a reduction to net sales of $31.8 million, substantially all of which was recognized in the first quarter of 2020 other than immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates during the second quarter of 2020, reflecting estimated sales returns and reimbursements through these keg relief programs. This estimate was derived considering various factors, including but not limited to, the actual amount of previously sold keg product eligible for reimbursement, along with the assumed length of time the product has been at a customer location to estimate the number of kegs that remain untapped.

Further, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized charges of $16.8 million substantially all of which was recognized in the first quarter of 2020 other than immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates during the second quarter of 2020, within cost of goods sold related to obsolete finished goods keg inventories that arewere not expected to be sold within our freshness specifications, as well as the estimated costs to facilitate the above mentioned keg returns. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our aggregate allowance for
11


obsolete inventories was approximately $15 million and $11 million, respectively. These estimates are subject to change, and actual results could deviate from our current estimates due to many factors, including, but not limited to, the number of customers ultimately participating in the voluntary keg relief programs and the number of untapped kegs in the market relative to our expectations. Further, theThe actual duration of the coronavirus pandemic includingas a result of the lengthevolution of variants, the rate of vaccination and the efficacy of vaccines against the coronavirus and related variants coupled with the severity of government-mandated closures or ceased sit-down service limitations at bars and restaurants coupled with the subsequent economic recovery period relative to the assumptions utilized to derive these estimates,as well as large events, could result in furtherfuture charges due to incremental finished goods keg inventory becoming obsolete in future periods.
Additionally, we
We continue to monitor the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on our customers’ liquidity and capital resources and therefore our ability to collect, or the timeliness of collection of our accounts receivable. While these receivables are not concentrated inwith any specific customer and our allowance on these receivables factors in expected credit loss, continued disruption and declines in the global economy could result in difficulties in our ability to collect and require increases to our allowance for doubtful accounts. As of both June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, our allowance for trade receivables was approximately $12$16 million and $18 million, respectively, and allowance activity was immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.2021.
Further, inIn response to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, various governmental authorities globally have announced relief programs which among other items, provideprovided temporary deferrals of income and non-income based tax payments, which have positively impacted our operating cash flows in the first half of 2020. These temporary deferrals of over $500approximately $130 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 arewere included within accounts payable and other current liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.sheets.
Finally, we continue to protectWe protected and supportsupported our liquidity position in response to the global economic uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic. DuringBeginning with the second quarter of 2020 through the second quarter of 2021, our board of directors suspended our regular quarterly dividends on our Class A and Class B common and exchangeable shares otherwise payableshares. A quarterly dividend was reinstated in fiscal year 2020.the third quarter of 2021.
For considerations of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and related potential impairment risks to our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, see Note 7, "Goodwill and IntangibleIntangible Assets."
Revitalization Plan
On October 28, 2019, we initiated a revitalization plan designed to allow us to invest across our portfolio to drive long-term, sustainable success. As part of ourThe revitalization plan we made the determination to establishestablished Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, closeheadquarters. We closed our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidateconsolidated certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations. As discussed above, in connection with these consolidation activities, effectiveof January 1, 2020, we changed our name to Molson Coors Beverage Company and changed our management structure to 2 segments - North America and Europe. We began to incur charges related to these restructuring activities during the fourth quarter of 2019 and have continuedwill continue to incur charges in the first half of 2020.through fiscal year 2021.
We also changed our name from Molson Coors Brewing Company to Molson Coors Beverage Company in January 2020 in order to better reflect our strategic intent to expand beyond beer and into other growth adjacencies in the beverage industry. SeeNote 3, "Segment Reporting," Note 5, "Special Items" and Note 7, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion of the impacts of this plan.
Non-Cash Activity
Non-cash activity includes non-cash issuances of share-based awards, as well as non-cash investing activities related to movements in our guarantee of indebtedness of certain equity method investments. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion. We also had non-cash activities related to capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $135.4$164.2 million and $149.9$135.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2019,2020, respectively.
In June 2021, we rolled forward our July 2021 $250.0 million forward starting interest rate swap to May 2022 through a cashless settlement. The unrealized loss on the 2021 forward starting interest rate swap at the time of the transaction was factored into the effective interest rate assigned to the new May 2022 forward starting interest rate swap. See Note 11, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.
Other than the activity mentioned above and the supplemental non-cash activity related to the recognition of leases further discussed in Note 13, "Leases," there was no other significant non-cash activity during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2019.2020, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
During the first half of 2021 and 2020, we granted stock options, RSUs and PSUs to certain officers and other eligible employees, and recognized share-based compensation expense of $5.9$8.2 million and $7.2$5.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2019,2020, respectively, and $11.8$16.5 million and $18.6$11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2019,2020, respectively. The reduction in share-based compensation expense in the first half of 2020 was driven primarily by a decline in 2020 in immediate expense recognition for awards granted to certain retirement eligible employees, as well as a reduction in expense relative to performance-based awards as a result of the achievement of certain performance conditions no longer being deemed probable.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In June 2016,December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changesintended to simplify the impairmentaccounting for income taxes. This guidance eliminated certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model used to measure credit losses for most financial instruments. Theand added new guidance replacesto reduce the existing incurred credit loss model, and requires the application of a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which will generally resultcomplexity in earlier recognition of allowancesaccounting for credit losses for financial instruments that are in scope of the new guidance, including trade receivables.income taxes. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2020,2021, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance also requires presentation of the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position and in the statement of cash flows in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented, and the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs to be presented in the same line item in the statement of operations as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement. We adopted this guidance prospectively in the first quarter of 2020, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. However, the adoption of this guidance resulted in the change in presentation of capitalized implementation costs related to hosting arrangements from properties to other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, as well as the expense related to such costs no longer being classified as depreciation expense and cash flows related to those costs no longer being presented as investing activities beginning in the first quarter of 2020.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and are effective for all entities upon issuance, March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, which2022. However, it is a full year afterpossible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. If LIBOR is not available, our financial contracts contain fallback provisions to determine the current expected discontinuation dateapplicable replacement base rate. We anticipate managing the transition to an alternative rate using the language set out in our agreements and through potentially modifying the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. However, future market conditions may not allow immediate implementation of LIBOR.our desired modifications and we may incur significant costs in connection with doing so. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model, and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance and do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
3. Segment Reporting
Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate, and previously includedinclude the U.S. segment, Canada segment, Europe segment and International segment. As part of our revitalization plan announced in the fourth quarter of 2019, we made the determination to establish Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, close our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidate certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations. In connection with these consolidation activities, effective January 1, 2020, we changed our management structure from a corporate center and 4 segments to 2 segments - North America and Europe. The North America segment consolidates the United States, Canada and corporate center, with a centralized North American leadership team, integrated North American supply chain network and centralized marketing and support functions, enabling us to move more quickly with an integrated portfolio strategy. The Europe segment allows for standalone operations, developed and supported by a European-based team, including local leadership, commercial, supply chain and support functions. The previous International segment was reconstituted to more effectively grow our global brands with the Africa and Asia Pacific businesses reporting into the Europe segment and the remaining International business reporting into the North America segment. As a result of these structural changes, the review of discrete financial information by our chief operating decision maker, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is now performed only at the consolidated North America and Europe geographicsegments. Our North America segment level, which isoperates in the basis on whichU.S., Canada and various countries in Latin and South America and our chief operating decision maker evaluatesEurope segment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the performanceRepublic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the businessU.K., various other European countries, and allocates resources accordingly.certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
We also have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as “Unallocated” below. Specifically, "Unallocated" activity primarily includes financing relatedfinancing-related costs such as interest expense and income, foreign
13


exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances related to financing and other treasury-related activities, and the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment, and all other components remain unallocated.
Historical results have been recast to retrospectively reflect these changes in segment reporting.
Summarized Financial Information
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 or June 30, 2019.2020. Consolidated net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting net sales revenues and income (loss) before income taxes eliminate upon consolidation and are primarily related to North America segment sales to the Europe segment.

(1)  The decrease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was driven primarily by the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic including gross profit decline due to the closure of the on-premise channel, the estimated keg sales returns and finished good obsolescence reserves recognized primarily during the first quarter of 2020 and increased special charges.
(2) During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we completed the sale of our Montreal brewery for $96.2 million (CAD 126.0 million), resulting in a $61.3 million gain.

4. Investments
Our investments include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as VIEs have been evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. The VIEs included under "Consolidated VIEs" below are those for which we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and accordingly, we have consolidated these entities. None of our consolidated VIEs held debt as of June 30, 20202021 or December 31, 2019.2020. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the year that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide. Amounts due to and due from our equity method investments are recorded as affiliate accounts payable and affiliate accounts receivable.
Authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs requires that we continually reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in which we have an interest. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and we continually evaluate circumstances that could require consolidation or deconsolidation. Our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K."), Rocky Mountain Metal Container ("RMMC"), Rocky Mountain Bottle Company ("RMBC") and Truss LP ("Truss"), as well as other immaterial entities. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI") and Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL"), as well as other immaterial investments.
Both BRI and BDL have outstanding third party debt which is guaranteed by their respective shareholders. As a result, we have a guarantee liability of $57.3$46.8 million and $37.7$38.2 million recorded as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, which is presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of these debt instruments. The carrying value of the guarantee liability equals fair value, which considers an adjustment for our own non-performance risk and is considered a Level 2 measurement. The offset to the guarantee liability was recorded as an adjustment to our respective equity method investment within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting change in our equity method investments during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.

Remaining net special charges associated with the planned closure are expected to be approximately $10 million to $15 million, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges.

Restructuring Activities
On October 28, 2019, as part of our revitalization plan, we made the determination to establishestablished Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, closeclosed our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidateconsolidated certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations. In connection with these consolidation activities, certain impacted employees have beenwere extended an opportunity to continue their employment with MCBC in the new organization and locations and, for those not continuing with MCBC, certain of such employees have beenwere asked to provide transition assistance and offered severance and retention packages in connection with their termination of service. We expect the costs associated with the restructuring to be substantially recognized by the end of fiscal year 2021. After taking into account all changes in each of the
16


business units, including Europe, the revitalization plan is expected to reducereduced employment levels, in aggregate, by approximately 600 employees globally.
In connection with these consolidation activitiesthe revitalization plan, we incurred and related organizational and personnel changes,expect we currently expectmay continue to incur certain cash and non-cash restructuring charges related to severance, retention and transition costs, employee relocation, non-cash asset related costs, lease impairment and exit costs in connection with our office lease in Denver, Colorado, and other transition activities currently estimatedrelated to the
15



consolidation activities and related organizational and personnel changes of the revitalization plan through 2021 which is expected to aggregate in the range of approximately $90$100 million to $120 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized severance and retention charges of $1.1 million inand $2.6 million, respectively, and our remaining accrued restructuring balance related to the aggregate, the majorityrevitalization plan as of which will be cash charges that we began recognizing in the fourth quarter of 2019, and will be further recognized through the balance of fiscal years 2020 and 2021.June 30, 2021 was approximately $10 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized severance and retention charges of $8.4 million and $31.1 million, respectively, and our remaining accrued restructuring balance related to the revitalization plan as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $33 million.respectively. Actual severance and retention costs related to this restructuring, which are primarily being recognized ratably over the employees' required future service period, may differ from original estimates based on actual employee turnover levels prior to achieving severance and retention eligibility requirements. Employee relocation charges are recognized in the period incurred and totaled $4.4 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2020, we recognized an aggregate impairment loss of $7.6 million related to the closure of the office facility in Denver, Colorado, including our lease right-of use asset, in light of the sublease market outlook as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Should our ability to obtain future subtenant occupancy for the office location significantly differ from the estimates and assumptions used to determine its fair value, which represent Level 3 measurements, additional impairment losses may be recognized in the future.
Other than those noted above, there were no material changes to our restructuring activities since December 31, 2019,2020, as reported in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 7, "Special Items" in our Annual Report. We continually evaluate our cost structure and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings as part of ongoing and new initiatives. As such, we may incur additional restructuring related charges or adjustments to previously recorded charges in the future, however, we are unable to estimate the amount of charges at this time.
The accrued restructuring balances as of June 30, 20202021 represent expected future cash payments required to satisfy our remaining obligations to terminated employees, the majority of which we expect to be paid in the next 12 months.

The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate forduring the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the prior year was primarily drivendue to a decrease in net discrete tax expense, partially offset by approximatelythe effect of proportionally higher pretax income in jurisdictions with a higher tax rate. We recognized $38.5 million of net discrete tax expense through the second quarter of 2021 versus $121.7 million net discrete tax expense through the second quarter of 2020. The difference is primarily due to the $135 million of discrete tax expense recognized in the second quarter of 2020, which was related to the enactment of the hybrid regulations as further discussed below.
During the second quarter of 2021, the U.K. government enacted, and royal assent was received for, legislation to increase the corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25%. Remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities under the higher income tax rate resulted in the recognition of additional discrete tax expense of approximately $18 million in the second quarter of 2020, as further discussed below. The increase in the effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was further driven by lower pretax income during the first half of 2020.
Since 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury has continued to issue proposed, temporary and final regulations to implement provisions of the 2017 Tax Act. We have continued to monitor these regulations, and on April 7, 2020, the U.S.
17


Department of Treasury enacted final hybrid regulations with full retroactive application to January 1, 2018, with a few exceptions. We have reviewed the final regulations and their impact on our tax positions and financial statements. The final regulations, associated with the taxability of certain interest, impact tax positions we took in 2018 and 2019 and have resulted in additional income tax expense of approximately $135 million, which was recognized upon enactment in the second quarter of 2020. The impact of the finalized regulations could result in cash tax outflows up to this amount in 2021. We continue to analyze the potential cash impacts of the final regulations to minimize any cash outflows.
In July 2020, the U.K. government enacted legislation to repeal the previously enacted reduction to the corporate income tax rate that was due to take effect April 1, 2020, which will change the previously anticipated corporate income tax rate from 17% to 19%. We anticipate the impact to estimated income tax expense in the third quarter of 2020 will be immaterial.
Our tax rate is volatile and may increase or decrease with changes in, among other things, the amount and source of income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are

proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Due to anticipated settlements and expected expiration of statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $250 million within the next 12 months.
Since 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury has continued to issue proposed, temporary and final regulations to implement provisions of the 2017 Tax Act. We will continue to monitor these regulations. The final hybrid regulations issued in April 2020 resulted in recognition of approximately $135 million of tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2020. We currently estimate the impact of the final regulations to be cash tax outflows of approximately $100 million in 2021. We continue to analyze the potential cash impacts of the final regulations to minimize cash outflows over time.

The gross amount of goodwill totaled approximately $8.2 billion and $8.3$8.4 billion as of both June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019, respectively.2020. Accumulated impairment losses as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 totaled $651.9$2,276.0 million and $681.3$2,264.5 million, respectively, and are comprised of a full impairment taken on the Europe reporting unit and a partial impairment taken on the North America reporting unit as well as our historic India reporting unit, which was fully impaired in 2019.
As of the date of our annual impairment test, performed as of October 1, 2020, the North America reporting unit goodwill balance was at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in assumptions including the forecasted cash flows (including company-specific risks like the performance of our above premium transformation efforts and overall market performance of new innovations like hard seltzers, along with macro-economic risks such as the continued prolonged weakening of economic conditions, or significant unfavorable changes in tax rates, environmental or other regulations, including interpretations thereof), terminal growth rates, market multiples and/or weighted-average cost of capital utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses. For testing purposes of our reporting units, management's best estimates of the expected future results are the primary driver in determining the fair value. Current projections used for our North America reporting unit testing reflect growth assumptions associated with our revitalization plan to build on the strength of our iconic core brands, aggressively grow our above premium portfolio, expand beyond the beer aisle, invest in our capabilities and support our people and our communities all of which are intended to benefit the projected cash flows of the business. The cash flow assumptions were tempered somewhat by the impacts the coronavirus has had on our overall business and specifically our more profitable on-premise business.
We determined that there was related tono triggering event that occurred during the first half of 2021 that would indicate the carrying value of our North America segment.goodwill was greater than its fair value.

The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangible assets from December 31, 20192020 to June 30, 20202021 are primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangible assets are denominated in foreign currencies.
Based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2020,2021, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows:

This expense is primarily presented within marketing, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Reporting Unit Changes and Interim Impairment Testing
As of the date of completionour annual impairment test of our 2019indefinite-lived intangible assets, performed as of October 1, 2020, the fair value of the indefinite-lived Miller, Coors and Carling brands and distribution networks were sufficiently in excess of their carrying values. We determined at the annual impairment testing discussed above, the operations in each of the specific regions within our historical U.S., Canada, Europe and International segments were considered components based on the availability of discrete financial information and the regular review by segment management. We had further concludeddate that the components within the U.S., Canada andStaropramen indefinite-lived brand intangible asset in Europe segments each met the criteria of having similar economic characteristics and therefore we previously aggregated these components into the U.S., Canada and Europe reporting units, respectively. Additionally, we previously determined that the components within our International segment did not meet the criteria for aggregation, and therefore, the operations of our India business constituted a separate reporting unit at the component level, however, the associated goodwill balance was fully impaired in the third quarter of 2019.
As discussed in Note 3, "Segment Reporting," effective January 1, 2020, we changed our management structure from a corporate center and 4 segments to 2 segments - North America and Europe. These structural changes included leadership re-alignment with a centralized North America leadership team, an integrated North American supply chain network, and centralized marketing and innovations functions including movement to a single brand manager and North America marketing strategy for our major brands. Additionally, as part of our leadership re-alignment, we moved from two separate U.S. and Canada segment managers, to a single North America segment manager, our President and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews discrete financial information only at the consolidated North America segment level. As a result of these changes, we re-evaluated our historical reporting unit conclusions and have consolidated our previously separate U.S. and Canada reporting units into a single North America reporting unit effective January 1, 2020. There were no changes to our existing Europe reporting unit, which was considered to be at risk of future impairment followingas a result of the completion of our October 1, 2019 annual impairment testing.coronavirus' impact on the on-premise

business throughout Europe that commenced in 2020 and is continuing in 2021. No triggering events occurred during the first half of 2021 that would indicate the carrying value of these indefinite-lived assets was greater than their fair value.
We completed an interim impairment assessmentcontinuously monitor the performance of the underlying definite-lived intangible assets for our U.S. and Canada reporting units as of January 1, 2020 immediately prior to the reporting unit change, as well aspotential triggering events suggesting an impairment assessment of the combined North America reporting unit immediately after the change, and determined thatreview should be performed. While no impairments existed. Additionally, as the changes resultedtriggering events have occurred in the combinationfirst half of our historical U.S. and Canada reporting units into a single North America reporting unit, no further reallocation of goodwill was required.
Additionally, as a result of the structural changes discussed above, including the centralization of the brand management and strategy for our Coors brands across North America,2021, we have aggregated our Coors brand indefinite-lived intangible asset in the U.S. and Coors Light distribution agreement indefinite-lived intangible asset in Canada into a single unit of accounting for the purpose of testing for impairment, effective January 1, 2020. We completed an interim impairment assessment for each individual indefinite-lived intangible asset immediately prior to aggregation, and determined that no impairments existed.
We have further evaluated whether the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, and related impacts to the interest rate environment as well as market multiples, required an additional interim impairment assessment as of June 30, 2020. While factors are present that indicate that triggering events may exist, such as the decline in our market capitalization since the pandemic began in March 2020 combined with recent weakened financial performance, current circumstances do not indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets have fallen below their carrying values. Therefore, an interim impairment assessment was not performed as of June 30, 2020. However, we believe that the effects of the coronavirus pandemic may, depending on severity and duration, place our North America and Europe reporting units and certain of our indefinite-lived intangible assets at risk of future impairment. We will continue to monitor the length and severity of the impacts of the pandemic tocoronavirus in our business, and if the duration is prolongedkey markets and the severitypotential implications that may have on the values of its impacts continues or worsens, this may indicate the need to perform future interim impairment analyses that could result in material impairments.definite-lived intangible assets.
KeyFair Value Assumptions
Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. The key assumptions used to derive the estimated fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets are discussed in Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements, Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in our Annual Report, and represent Level 3 measurements.
Overall Considerations
Based on known facts and circumstances, we evaluate and consider recent events and uncertain items, as well as the related potential implications, as part of our annual and interim assessments and incorporate into the analyses as appropriate. These facts and circumstances are subject to change and may impact future analyses. For example, we continue to monitor the progress we are making against our revitalization plan, challenges within the beer industry for further weakening or additional systemic structural declines, as well as for adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions such as the coronavirus pandemic that could significantly impact our immediate and long-range results. Specifically, subsequent to the January 1, 2020 interim impairment assessments, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the coronavirus disease as a global pandemic as further discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Our business has been, and could continue to be, materially and adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The related weakening of economic conditions during a prolonged pandemic could lead to a material impairment as the duration and severity of the pandemic and resulting impacts to our financial projections are further understood. Additionally, we are monitoring the impacts the coronavirus pandemic has on the market inputs used in calculating our discount rates, including risk-free rates, equity premiums and our cost of debt, which could result in a meaningful change to our weighted-average cost of capital calculation, as well as the market multiples used in our impairment assessment. Furthermore, increased volatility in the equity and debt markets or other country specific factors, including, but not limited to, extended or future government intervention in response to the pandemic, could also result in a meaningful change to our weighted-average cost of capital calculation and other inputs used in our impairment assessment.
Separately, the Ontario government in Canada adopted a bill that, if enacted, could adversely impact the existing terms of the beer distribution and retail systems in the province, as further described in Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies."
While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets equal to or in excess of carrying values, if our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that an impairment loss may need to be recorded in the future.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets
Regarding definite-lived intangible assets, we continuously monitor the performance of the underlying assets for potential triggering events suggesting an impairment review should be performed. No such triggering events were identified in the first half of 2020 that resulted in an impairment loss.

(1)The fair value hedges related to these notes have been settled and are being amortized over the life of the respective note.
(2)We repaid our $500 million 2.25% notes upon maturity in March 2020, at which time we also settled the associated cross currency swaps resulting in cash receipts of $3.2 million, which were classified as financing and investing activities in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we havehad cross currency swaps associated with our $1.0 billion 2.1% senior notes due July 2021 in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts of our European investment. As a result of the swaps, we have economically converted a portion of these notes and associated interest to EUR denominated, which results in a EUR interest rate to be received of 0.71%.
(3) See Note 11, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details. We maintainrepaid our $1.0 billion 2.1% notes at maturity on July 15, 2021 using a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity datecombination of July 7, 2024, that allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion in commercial paper or other borrowings at any time at variable interest rates. We use this financing from time to time to leverage cash needs including debt repayments. During the first half of 2020, we utilized borrowings from this facility in order to fund the repayment of our $500 million 2.25% notes upon maturity in March 2020, for working capital and general purposes, as well as a precautionary measure in order to provide enhanced financial flexibility due to uncertain market conditions arising from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, as further discussed in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."These borrowings were subsequently repaid during the second quarter of 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $1.3 billion available to draw on the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is also reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program. The outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program had a weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor of 1.05% and 31 days, respectively, as of June 30, 2020. We had 0 borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility and 0 commercial paper borrowings as of December 31, 2019.

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we had net commercial paper payments of approximately $25 million, for a total amount outstanding of approximately $175 million as of July 30, 2020. As such, as of July 30, 2020, we have approximately $1.3 billion available to draw on our total $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Additionally, we expect to use commercial paper issuances and cash on hand to fundand also settled the upcoming repayment of our CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due September 2020, which we began purchasing CAD in anticipation of this upcoming maturity during July 2020.associated cross currency swap.

Commercial paper issuances under the CCFF Program do not impact the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.
In connection with the CCFF Program, MCBC U.K. and MCBC entered into a Dealer Agreement (the “Dealer Agreement”) with Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets PLC (“Lloyds”), as both the arranger and dealer, pursuant to which notes may be issued to Lloyds at such prices and upon such terms as MCBC U.K. and Lloyds may agree. The maturitieslife of the notes vary but will not be less than seven days nor greater than 364 days. The Dealer Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions typical for the issuance of commercial paper of this type. In addition, MCBC entered into a Deed of Guarantee to guarantee the payment of all sums payable from time to time by MCBC U.K. in respect of the notes to the holders of any notes.

Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $8.7$8.9 billion and $9.2$9.1 billion, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt Covenants

On June 19, 2020, we entered into to an amendment to our existing
Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper
We maintain a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility agreement, which amongwith a maturity date of July 7, 2024 that allows us to issue a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion in commercial paper or other things, revised theborrowings at any time at variable interest rates. We use this facility from time to time to leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant for each fiscal quarter endingcash needs including debt repayments. We had 0 borrowings drawn on or after June 30, 2020 through the maturity of the credit facility. The maximum leverage ratio, as defined by the amendedthis revolving credit facility agreementand 0 commercial paper borrowings as of June 30, 2020 is 4.75x2021 or December 31, 2020.
Subsequent to June 30, 2021, we had net debt to EBITDA, with an increase to 5.25x net debt to EBITDAcommercial paper borrowings of approximately $140 million, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021, followed by a 0.50x reduction to 4.75x net debt to EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending June 30,July 29, 2021.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented within Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 16, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first half of 2020.2021. As noted in Note 16 of the Notes included in our Annual Report, due to the nature of our counterparty agreements, and the fact that we are not subject to master netting arrangements, we are not able to net positions with the same counterparty and, therefore, present our derivative positions on a gross basis in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. OurExcept as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since year-end.December 31, 2020.
Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps
During the third quarter of 2018, we entered into forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional amount totaling $1.5 billion with termination dates of July 2021, May 2022 and July 2026. The swaps had effective dates mirroring the terms of the forecasted debt issuances. Under the agreements, we are required to early terminate these swaps at the time we expect to issue the related forecasted debt. We have designated these contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses will be recorded to AOCI until termination at which point the realized gain or loss of these swaps at issuance of the hedged debt will be reclassified from AOCI and amortized to interest expense over the term of the hedged debt.
23In June 2021, we early terminated our $250.0 million forward starting interest rate swap that was set to terminate in July 2021. This forward starting interest rate swap was rolled forward to May 2022 through a cashless settlement. The new May 2022 forward starting interest rate swap is incremental to our existing May 2022 forward starting interest rate swap that was executed in 2018, both of which are hedging our forecasted debt issuance expected to occur next year. At the time of the transaction, there was approximately $33.4 million of unrealized losses recorded in AOCI. Approximately $1.7 million was recorded to interest expense in the second quarter when it became probable that one of the forecasted interest payments originally hedged would not occur. The remaining $31.7 million will be amortized to interest expense throughout the term of the respective debt unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time. The new forward starting interest rate swap has an effective date of June 2021, with a termination date of May 2022 and an effective interest rate of approximately 3.22%.
Cash settlements related to interest rate contracts are generally classified as operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. However, due to an other-than-insignificant financing element in the May 2022 forward starting interest rate swap that was designated in June 2021, the cash flow related to this contract will be classified as financing activities.


Derivative Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as our own non-performance risk, as appropriate. The fair value of our warrants to acquire common shares of HEXO Corp. ("HEXO") at a strike price of CAD 6.0024.00 per share are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The table below summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Disputes and Environmental
Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have an aggregate accrued contingent liability of $20.6$15.7 million and $16.2$17.9 million as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for litigation, other disputes and environmental matters in which we are currently involved, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. Additionally, as noted below, there are certain loss contingencies that we deem reasonably possible for which a range of loss is not estimable at this time; for all other matters, we
29


believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Our litigation, other disputes and environmental issues are discussed in further detail within Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements, Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first half of 2020,2021, except as noted below.
Other than those disclosed below, we are also involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, other than as noted, none of these disputes or legal actions are expected to have a material impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
On February 12, 2018, Stone Brewing Company filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of California against Molson Coors Beverage Company USA LLC ("MCBC USA" formerly known as MillerCoors LLC) alleging that the Keystone brand has “rebranded” itself as “Stone” and is marketing itself in a manner confusingly similar to Stone Brewing Company's registered Stone trademark. Stone Brewing Company seeks treble damages in the amount of MCBC USA's profit from Keystone sales. MCBC USA subsequently filed an answer and counterclaims against Stone Brewing Company. On May 31, 2018, Stone Brewing Company filed a motion to dismiss MCBC USA's counterclaims and for a preliminary injunction seeking to bar MCBC USA from continuing to use “STONE” on Keystone Light cans and related marketing materials. In March 2019, the court denied Stone Brewing Company’s motion for preliminary injunction and its motion to dismiss MCBC USA's counterclaims. Discovery is closed andThe jury trial is currently scheduled to begin inon October 2020.13, 2020 was continued by the court and has now been reset to begin on November 8, 2021. We intend to vigorously assert and defend our rights in this lawsuit. A range of potential loss is not estimable at this time.
In December 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued a regulation that impacts our ability to claim a refund of certain federal duties, taxes, and fees paid for beer sold between the U.S. and certain other countries effective in February 2019. As a result, based on the terms of the regulation, it is the U.S. Department of Treasury's position that future claims will no longer be accepted, and we may be further unable to collect previously claimed, but not yet received, refunds. In January 2020, the United States Court of International Trade issued an opinion and order ruling the challenged portions of this regulation dealing with refunds of certain federal duties, taxes and fees paid with respect to certain imported beer, to the extent of certain exported beer, to be unlawful. On April 17, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury appealed this ruling as well as filed a motion for stay of the enforcement of judgment and suspension of claims pending appeal. The U.S. Department of Treasury's motion to stay was denied pending appeal and they were ordered to pay on all claims under the accelerated payment program. As a result, we have collected approximately $24 million of previously filed claims during the second quarter of 2020, and have previously claimed, but not yet received, refunds of approximately $20 million recorded within other receivables, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. On July 23, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury filed its opening appellate brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We will continue to monitor this matter including our ability to collect the remainder of our previously claimed refunds, our potential liability to repay refunds received, as well our ability to claim ongoing refunds as the appeal process progresses.
On February 15, 2019, 2 purported stockholders filed substantially similar putative class action complaints against the Company, Mark R. Hunter, and Tracey I. Joubert (the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Colorado District Court”), and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Illinois District Court”). On February 21, 2019, another purported stockholder filed a substantially similar complaint in the Colorado District Court. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of the Company’s stockholders and assert that the Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by allegedly making false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company’s restatement of consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017, and that the Company purportedly lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, an unspecified amount of damages and attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs. On April 16, 2019, motions to consolidate and appoint a lead plaintiff were filed in each case. On May 24, 2019, the securities class action suit filed with the Illinois District Court was transferred to the Colorado District Court, and subsequently was voluntarily dismissed on July 25, 2019. On October 2, 2019, the class action lawsuits originally filed in Colorado District Court were consolidated, and, on October 3, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel for the consolidated case. On December 9, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed its amended complaint alleging that the Defendants made false statements and material omissions to the market beginning in February 2017 and ending in February 2019, which, it alleges, misled the market as to the strength of our financial condition and internal control processes related to financial accounting. The amended complaint further alleges that the Company and the Defendants caused the Company to falsely report its financial results by overstating retained earnings, net income, and tax benefits and understating deferred tax liabilities in an effort to inflate the price of our common stock. We filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 23, 2020; the plaintiff subsequently filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss on March 9, 2020; and we filed our reply brief in support of our motion to dismiss on April 8, 2020. The motion remains pending before the trial judge. We intend to defend the claims vigorously. A range of potential loss is not estimable at this time.

On March 26, 2019, a purported stockholder filed a purported shareholder derivative action in Colorado District Court against the Company’s board of directors and certain officers (the “Individual Defendants”), and the Company as a nominal defendant. On May 14, 2019, another purported stockholder filed a substantially similar complaint in the Colorado District Court. On August 12, 2019, a third derivative complaint was filed in Colorado District Court by a purported stockholder. All 3 derivative complaints assert claims against the Individual Defendants for breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment arising out of the Company’s dissemination to shareholders of purportedly materially misleading and inaccurate information in connection with the Company’s restatement of consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017. The complaints further allege that the Company lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting. The third derivative complaint filed in August also alleges the Individual Defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by issuing misleading statements in the Company’s proxy statement. The relief sought in the complaints include changes to the Company’s corporate governance procedures, unspecified damages, restitution, and attorneys’ fees, expert fees, other costs and such other relief as the court deems proper. All 3 derivative actions have been administratively closed subjectand stayed. The Schmier derivative case was dismissed on June 3, 2021 and the Murr derivative case was dismissed on June 28, 2021. Plaintiffs in the lone remaining derivative case, Fong, filed a motion to being reopeneddismiss that case on June 25, 2021. The court has not yet ruled on that motion. Relatedly, but in a different action, the United States District Court for good cause shown. Athe District of Colorado dismissed with prejudice on December 2, 2020 a putative class action complaint filed against the Company, Mark Hunter, and Tracey Joubert asserting largely the same allegations as those in the above mentioned purported derivative suits. No appeal was taken and that case is now fully resolved and closed. In the lone remaining administratively closed purported derivative suit, a range of potential loss is not estimable at this time.

Regulatory Contingencies
In December 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued a regulation that impacts our ability to claim a refund of certain federal duties, taxes and fees paid for beer sold between the U.S. and certain other countries effective in February 2019. As a result, based on the terms of the regulation, it is the U.S. Department of Treasury's position that future claims will no longer be accepted, and we may be further unable to collect previously claimed, but not yet received, refunds. In January 2020, the United States Court of International Trade issued an opinion and order ruling the challenged portions of this regulation dealing with refunds of certain federal duties, taxes and fees paid with respect to certain imported beer, to the extent of certain exported beer, to be unlawful. On April 17, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury appealed this ruling as well as filed a motion for stay of the enforcement of judgment and suspension of claims pending appeal. The U.S. Department of Treasury's motion to stay was denied pending appeal and they were ordered to pay on all claims under the accelerated payment program. As a result, we have collected approximately $51 million of previously filed claims through the second quarter of 2021, and have previously claimed, but not yet received, refunds of approximately $8 million recorded within other receivables, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. On July 23, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury filed its opening appellate brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. An opposition/response brief was filed on October 1, 2020 and final reply brief was submitted on December 11, 2020. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on March 1, 2021 and took the matter under advisement. We will continue to monitor this matter including our ability to collect the remainder of our previously claimed refunds, our potential liability to repay refunds received, as well our ability to claim ongoing refunds as the appeal process progresses.
In June 2019, the Ontario government adopted a bill that, if enacted, would terminate a 10-year Master Framework Agreement that was originally signed between the previous government administration and Molson Canada 2005, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Sleeman Breweries Ltd., and Brewers Retail Inc. in 2015 and dictates the terms of the beer distribution and retail systems in Ontario through 2025. The government has not yet proclaimed the bill as law. The impacts of these potential legislative changes are unknown at this time, but could have a negative impact on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the North America segment. While discussions remain ongoing with the government to reach a mutually agreeable alternative to the enactment of the law, it is unclear how the coronavirus pandemic will impact these discussions. Molson Canada 2005 and the other Master Framework Agreement signatories are prepared to vigorously defend our rights and pursue legal recourse, should the Master Framework Agreement be unilaterally terminated by the enactment of the legislation.
Guarantees and Indemnities
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include liabilities related to these guarantees of $57.3$46.8 million and $37.7$38.2 million, respectively. See Note 4, "Investments" for further detail.
Separately, related to our Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") indemnities, we have accrued $10.4$11.5 million and $14.2$7.7 million, in aggregate, as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The maximum potential claims amount remaining for the Kaiser-related purchased tax credits was $64.0$70.4 million, based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2020.2021. Our Kaiser liabilities are discussed in further detail within Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements, Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first half of 2020.2021.

For purposes of this Note 14, including the tables, "Parent Issuer" shall mean MCBC. "Subsidiary Guarantors" shall mean certain Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries reflecting the substantial operations of our North America segment.
SEC Registered Securities
On May 3, 2012, MCBC issued $1.9 billion of senior notes, in a registered public offering, consisting of $300 million 2.0% senior notes due 2017 (subsequently repaid in the second quarter of 2017), $500 million 3.5% senior notes due 2022, and $1.1 billion 5.0% senior notes due 2042. Additionally, on July 7, 2016, MCBC issued $500 million 1.45% senior notes due 2019 (subsequently repaid in the third quarter of 2019), $1.0 billion 2.10% senior notes due 2021, $2.0 billion 3.0% senior notes due 2026, $1.8 billion 4.2% senior notes due 2046 and EUR $800.0 million 1.25% senior notes due 2024, in a registered public offering. "Parent Issuer" in the below tables is specifically referring to MCBC in its capacity as the issuer of these 2012 and 2016 issuances. These senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Issuer. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
None of our other outstanding debt is registered with the SEC, and such other outstanding debt is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent and/or Subsidiary Guarantors. These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. See Note 8, "Debt" for details of all debt issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020.
Presentation
The following information sets forth the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Issuer and all of our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries are reflected in the eliminations column. In the opinion of management, separate complete financial statements of MCBC and the Subsidiary Guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing their financial composition.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and the MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20192020 ("Annual Report"), as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.report. Due to the seasonality of our operating results, quarterly financial results are not an appropriate basis from which to project annual results.
Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "we," "us" or "our" includes Molson Coors Beverage Company ("MCBC" or the "Company") (formerly known as Molson Coors Brewing Company), principally a holding company, and its operating and non-operating subsidiaries included within our reporting segments. As further discussed below, on January 1, 2020, we changed our management structure from a corporate center and fourOur reporting segments to two segments -include North America and Europe. Our International segment was reconstituted with the Africa and Asia Pacific businesses reporting into the Europe segment and the remaining International business reporting into the North America segment. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2020, our reporting segments include: North America (North America segment), operatingsegment operates in the U.S., Canada and various countries in Latin and South America;America and our Europe (Europe segment), operatingsegment operates in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, the Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the U.K., various other European countries, and certain countries within the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. We have recast the historical presentation of segment information as a result of these reporting segment changes accordingly.
Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in USD and comparisons are to comparable prior periods. Our primary operating currencies, other than the USD, include the CAD, the GBP, and our Central European operating currencies such as the EUR, CZK, HRK and RSD.
Operational Measures
We have certain operational measures, such as STWs and STRs, which we believe are important metrics. STW is a metric that we use in our business to reflect the sales from our operations to our direct customers, generally wholesalers. We believe the STW metric is important because it gives an indication of the amount of beer and adjacent products that we have produced and shipped to customers. STR is a metric that we use in our business to refer to sales closer to the end consumer than STWs, which generally means sales from our wholesalers or our company to retailers, who in turn sell to consumers. 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.
Executive Summary
We are one of the world's largest brewers andFor over two centuries, we have a diverse portfolio of owned and partner brands, including global brands Blue Moon, Coors Banquet, Coors Light, Miller Genuine Draft, Miller Lite, and Staropramen, regional champion brands Carling, Molson Canadian and other leading country-specific brands, as well as craft and specialty beers such as Creemore Springs, Cobra, Sharp's Doom Bar and Leinenkugel's. With centuries ofbeen brewing heritage, we craft high-quality, innovative beverages with the purpose of unitingthat unite people to celebrate all life'slife’s moments. From Coors Light, Miller Lite, Molson Canadian, Carling and Staropramen to Coors Banquet, Blue Moon Belgian White, Blue Moon LightSky, Vizzy, Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, Creemore Springs, Hop Valley and more, we produce many beloved and iconic beer brands. While the company’s history is rooted in beer, Molson Coors offers a modern portfolio that expands beyond the beer aisle as well. As a business, our ambition is to be the first choice for our people, our consumers and our customers, and our success depends on our ability to make our products available to meet a wide range of consumer segments and occasions.
Cybersecurity Incident
During March 2021, we experienced a systems outage that was caused by a cybersecurity incident. We engaged leading forensic information technology firms and legal counsel to assist our investigation into the incident and we restored our systems after working to get the systems back up as quickly as possible. Despite these actions, we experienced delays and disruptions to our business, including brewery operations, production and shipments. This incident caused a shift in our production and shipments from the first quarter of 2021 to the balance of fiscal year 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, we made progress recovering from the incident with increased shipments and continue to expect to recover fully by the end of 2021. In addition, we incurred certain incremental net one-time costs of $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts, net of insurance recoveries.
Coronavirus Global Pandemic
On March 11, 2020,Starting at the World Health Organization characterized the outbreakend of the novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. We are actively monitoring the impactfirst quarter of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic which has had and we currently expect will continue to have, a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, financial condition and financial results for our full year 2020 and, possibly, beyond.of operations in 2020. In 2021, we have begun to see improvements in the marketplace related to the coronavirus global pandemic as on-premise locations begin to open across the world, including in the U.S. which led to a shift in revenue from off-premise to on-premise during the second quarter of 2021. The extent to which our operations will continue to be impacted by the pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the outbreakpandemic, including outbreaks of variants, the rate of vaccination and actions by government authoritiesthe efficacy of vaccines against the coronavirus and related variants. We continue to containactively monitor the ongoing evolution of the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.and resulting impacts to our business.

Despite the improvements in re-openings of on-premise locations, closures and openings with restrictions impacted the financial results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Certain governmental entities across North America and Europe, particularly throughout the U.K., required that bars and restaurants close or cease sit-down service forduring the majorityfirst quarter of 2021 which continued to negatively impact the on-premise sales of our beverages. Certain countries in Europe slowly started to reopen in the second quarter of 2020,2021 with a partial re-opening with restrictions in the U.K. In addition, during the first quarter of 2021 and second quarter of 2021, certain provinces of Canada, including the most populous provinces, continued to endure lockdowns pursuant to which has negatively impacted,bars and we currently expect will continuerestaurants were required to negatively impact, on-premiseclose. Throughout the first six months of 2021, while the U.S. started to reopen, sales of our beverages and previously led to the incurrence of costs to repurchase products that on-premise accounts or distributors were unable or prohibited from selling as a result of the governmental regulations. Other restaurants and bars have also implemented closures and/or modified their hours, either voluntarily or as a result of governmental orders or quarantines. While we did see some restaurants and bars begin to reopen late in the second quarter of

Certain sporting events, festivals and other large public gatherings where our products are served have started to return with reduced capacities or other restrictions and other events have been canceled throughout North America and Europe.postponed. See "Outlook" for additional details. Sales to on-premise customers tend to be higher margin than sales to off-premise (retail outlets) customers. Additionally, these and otherThroughout the world, any governmental or societal impositions of restrictions on public gatherings, especially if prolonged in nature whether government or self-imposed, will have adverse effects oncontinue to impact on-premise traffic and, in turn, our business.
As expected, we experienced a significant adverse volume impact in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the closure of the on-premise channel in nearly all of our markets for most of the quarter. Specifically, for the second quarter of 2020, we estimate that nearly all of our consolidated net sales resulted from off-premise consumption. This compares to our previously provided estimate that approximately 23% of our 2019 consolidated net sales resulted from on-premise consumption, with approximately 17% of our North America net sales and approximately 50-55% of our Europe net sales each coming from this important part of the industry, and in many of our markets the on-premise business had been reduced to zero for much of the second quarter. See further discussion below under "Results of Operations" regarding the historical percentage of volume and net sales represented in the on-premise within our North America and Europe segment businesses and resulting implications to expected profitability as a result of the effective closures of the on-premise in the markets in which we operate. While we began to see some of the on-premise return in June in many of these markets, with the notable exception of the U.K. which did not reopen until early July, business and consumer behavior in the channel has been slow and remains uncertain. Therefore, as a result of this uncertainty, along with the growing risk of a return of shutdowns in certain markets, we currently continue to expect a significant adverse impact to both net sales and profit performance for the third quarter and fiscal year 2020, and, possibly, beyond.
In addition, where we have seen shifts in demand to the off-premise, and certain package types, this has strained our supply chain and package availability, particularly with aluminum can demand and other packaging materials, requiring that we strategically prioritize certain brands and package types. Our supply chain continues to work diligently to ensure sufficient supply of these high demand brand and packages as we adjust to these changing consumer dynamics.
Further, duringDuring the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded charges of $15.5 million within cost of goods sold related to temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees. Additionally, in order to support the challenges facingand demonstrate our on-premise customers and retailers, and our overall commitment to quality,the continued viability of the many bars and restaurants which were negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, during the first quarter of 2020, we initiated voluntary temporary keg relief programs in many of our markets which willmarkets. We committed to provide customers with reimbursements for untapped kegs that meetmet certain established return requirements.requirements in conjunction with the voluntary programs. As a result, our results forduring the six months ended June 30, 2020, further include aggregate charges of $48.6 million, inclusive ofwe recognized a reduction to net sales of $31.8 million, substantially all of which was recognized in the first quarter of 2020 other than immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates during the second quarter of 2020, reflecting estimated sales returns and reimbursements through these keg relief programs, as well asprograms.
Further, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized charges of $16.8 million substantially all of which was recognized in the first quarter other than immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates during the second quarter of 2020, within cost of goods sold related to obsolete finished goods keg inventories that arewere not expected to be sold within our freshness specifications, as a result of the ongoing on-premise impacts, as well as the estimated costs to facilitate the above mentioned keg returns. These keg return and inventory obsolescence charges were recognized primarily during the first quarter of 2020. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional details.
With the continued spread of the coronavirus and the reversal of certain on-premise re-openings, the extent, severity and duration to which our operations will be impacted by the pandemic remains uncertain. Therefore, we previously withdrew our financial outlook for 2020 and beyond and have determined that the market remains too unpredictable to provide an updated detailed financial outlook at this time.
As a result of the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, during the second quarter of 2020 we continuedcontinue to take various mitigating actions to offset some of the implications to our employees and communities, as well as the immediate challenges to performance, while also ensuring liquidity and deleverage remain key priorities as further discussed within "Outlook" below. In additionpriorities. We continue to actions already taken,monitor the pandemic and will take additional actions may be necessary.as necessary if the pandemic takes a negative turn. Such potential actions may include, but are not limited to, drawing on our revolving line of credit facility, issuing additional commercial paper under our U.S. commercial paper program issuing commercial paper under the recently established COVID Corporate Financing Facility in the U.K. (see Part I—Item 1.

Revitalization Plan
On October 28, 2019, we initiated a revitalization plan designed to allow us to invest across our portfolio to drive long-term, sustainable success. As part of this plan, we planned to accelerate investments behind our largest brands, invest significantly in the above premium segment, and invest more in whitespace and beyond beer opportunities. We were making progress against these ambitions before the impact of the coronavirus pandemic became widespread throughout North America and Europe. As a result of this pandemic and resulting uncertainty in the economy, we are making adjustments in the short-term and intend to use the savings we continue to generate from theThe revitalization plan to help protect our cash and liquidity position. See additional discussion of the implications of the pandemic above.
We also made the determination to establishestablished Chicago, Illinois as our North American operational headquarters, closeheadquarters. We closed our existing office in Denver, Colorado and consolidateconsolidated certain administrative functions into our other existing office locations. EffectiveAs of January 1, 2020, we changed our name to Molson Coors Beverage Company and changed our management structure from a corporate center and four segments to two segments - North America and Europe. The North America segment consolidates the United States, Canada and corporate center, enabling usWe began to move more quickly with an integrated portfolio strategy. The Europe segment allows for standalone operations, developed and supported by a European-based team, including local leadership, commercial, supply chain and support functions. The existing International team was reconstituted to more effectively grow our global brands - with the Africa and Asia Pacific businesses reporting into the European segment and the remaining International business reporting into the North America segment.
We also have certain activity that is not allocated to our segments, which has been reflected as “Unallocated”. Specifically, "Unallocated" activity primarily includes financing related costs such as interest expense and income, foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances related to financing and other treasury-related activities, and the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension and OPEB cost is reported within each operating segment, and all other components remain unallocated. We have recast the historical presentation of segment information as a result of these reporting segment changes accordingly.
In connection with these consolidation activities, we currently expect to incur certain cash and non-cash restructuring charges related to severance, retention and transition costs, employee relocation, non-cash asset related costs, lease exit costs in connection with our office lease in Denver, Colorado, and other transitionthese restructuring activities currently estimated in the range of approximately $90 million to $120 million in the aggregate, the majority of which will be cash charges that we began recognizing induring the fourth quarter of 2019 and will be further recognizedcontinue to incur charges through the balance of fiscal years 2020 andyear 2021. In the second quarter and first half of 2020, we recognized severance and retention charges of $8.4 million and $31.1 million, respectively, bringing the aggregate of such charges to approximately $72 million since the plan was initiated. Actual severance and retention costs related to this restructuring, which are primarily being recognized ratably over the employees' required future service period, may differ from original estimates based on actual employee turnover levels prior to achieving severance and retention eligibility requirements. Employee relocation charges are recognized in the period incurred and totaled $4.4 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2020, we recognized aggregate impairment losses of $7.6 million related to the closure of the office facility in Denver, Colorado, including our lease right-of use asset, in light of the sublease market outlook as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Should our ability to obtain future subtenant occupancy for the office location significantly differ from the estimates and assumptions used to determine its fair value, additional impairment losses may be recognized in the future. We recorded these charges as special items within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5, "Special Items”Items" for additionalfurther details.
After taking into account all changes in each of the business units, including Europe, the plan is expected to reduce employment levels, in aggregate, by approximately 600 employees globally. We currently expect the costs associated with the restructuring to be substantially recognized by the end of fiscal year 2021.

Second Quarter 20202021 Financial Highlights
Net sales of approximately $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2021 increased 17.4% from the prior year, primarily due to higher financial volumes, favorable brand and channel mix as well as positive pricing. Financial volume growth of 5.5% was primarily due to improved brand volume growth, particularly in Europe as a result of an increase in on-premise re-openings, as well as favorable shipment timing in the U.S., higher contract brewing and wholesaler volumes. Improved brand volume growth, particularly in Europe, was due to on-premise re-openings, higher above premium and core brand volumes, partially offset by lower economy brand volumes.

During the second quarter of 2020,2021, we recognized net income attributable to MCBC of $195.0$388.6 million compared to net income of $329.4$195.0 million in the prior year. This decreaseThe increase was driven by an increase inprimarily due to higher financial volumes, favorable net pricing, positive brand and channel mix, lower tax expense, lower special items charges, of approximately $114 million resulting from charges associated with the revitalization plan, the Irwindale brewery closure and cycling the gain on sale of the Montreal brewery, lower financial volume and unfavorable mix, partially offset by lower marketing, general and administrative expense, favorable impacts to cost of goods sold related to unrealized mark-to-market changes on our commodity positions and cost savings, as well as favorable unrealized gains in our mark-to-market changes on our HEXO Corp. ("HEXO") warrants within other income (expense), net. The significant decline incommodity positions, partially offset by higher marketing, general and administrative ("MG&A") expense was driven by prioritizing and shifting spendhigher cost of goods sold inflation, including media to platforms with higher audiences in the current environment, while suspending on-premise activation spendingtransportation, brewery and reducing or eliminating spend in areas that have been significantly impacted, such as sports and in-market activations. We also adjusted timing of spend behind brands and packs that were constrained by supply. Further, we also realized cost savings related to the revitalization plan. Finally, net income was adversely impacted by the increase in the effective tax rate to 51% driven by approximately $135 million of discrete tax expense recognized in the second quarter of 2020 related to hybrid regulations enacted by the U.S. Department of Treasury in the second quarter of 2020.
Net sales of approximately $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2020 decreased 15.1% from the prior year, driven by financial volume declines related to on-premise closures resulting from the coronavirus pandemic across all of our major markets, as well as unfavorable global mix, partially offset by higher net pricing in the U.S. and Canada.packaging material costs.
Regional financial highlights:
In our North America segment, income before income taxes decreased 8.2%increased 4.1% to $411.5$428.2 million in the second quarter of 2020,2021, compared to $411.5 million in the prior year primarily driven bydue to net pricing increases, lower special items charges, favorable brand mix in the U.S., cost savings in cost of goods sold, higher special charges, lower financial volumevolumes and the costcycling of prior year charges for temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, partially offset by lower marketing, generalhigher MG&A expense and administrative expense, cost savings ininflation within cost of goods sold, including higher transportation, brewery and packaging material costs, increased inventory obsolescence, as well as the cycling of favorable prior year resolution of oura property tax appeal for ourthe Golden, Colorado brewery andbrewery.

Brand highlights:
Blue Moon global brand volume decreased 19.9% in the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019, driven by declines in North America, specifically in the U.S. primarily as a result of the on-premise impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
Carling brand volume in Europe decreased 34.5% during the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019, due to lower volumes in the U.K., the brand's primary market as a result of the on-premise impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
Coors global brand volume - Coors Light global brand volume decreased 10.9% during the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019. The overall volume decrease in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by declines across North America and Europe primarily as a result of the on-premise impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite volume declines in the U.S., Coors Light gained share of the U.S. premium light segment for the fifth consecutive quarter. Coors Banquet and Coors Original in Canada and Latin America brand volume, on an aggregate basis, increased 0.7% during the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019.
Miller global brand volume - Miller Lite global brand volumes decreased 6.5% during the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019, primarily driven by declines in the U.S. and Latin America primarily as a result of the on-premise impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, partially offset by growth in Canada. However, Miller Lite gained share of the U.S. premium light segment for the twenty-third consecutive quarter. Miller Genuine Draft global brand volume decreased 21.2% during the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019, primarily due to a decrease in Latin America as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Staropramen global brand volume, including royalty volume, decreased 25.1% during the second quarter of 2020 versus 2019, primarily due to lower volumes in all European markets as a result of the on-premise impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
Worldwide Brand and Financial Volume
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 an adjustment from STWs to STRs calculated consistently with MCBC owned volume. Contract brewing and wholesaler volume is removed from worldwide brand volume as this is non-owned volume for which we do not directly control performance. We believe this definition of worldwide brand volume more closely aligns with how we measure the performance of our owned
33



brands within the markets in which they are sold. 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. 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. The adjustment from STWs to STRs provides the closest indication of the performance of our owned brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends, as it reflects sales volume one step closer to the end consumer and generally means sales from our wholesalers or our company to retailers.

This reflectsThe growth in the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the increase in re-openings of the on-premise channel, particularly in our Europe segment as well as favorable shipment timing. The decline for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic andwhich had a greater impact in the related closure of2021 first quarter due to on-premise outletsrestrictions in both North America and Europe, particularly in the U.K. and Canada as well as market share declines in part due to prioritization of certain key brands and package types to meet off-premise demand, and lower contract brewing volumes in North America. Despite this and the gradual re-opening of on-premise locations in certain geographies, the increase in off-premise brand volumes was not sufficient to offset the volume losses experienced related to the closurecycling of the on-premise, resulting in overall brand volume declines. This has continued into JulyMarch 2020 as we see further uncertainty aroundpantry loading at the re-openingonset of the on-premise across North America and Europe. As a result, we do not expect off-premise volumes to fully offset the loss of the on-premise volume due to closures related to thecoronavirus pandemic.

The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate forduring the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the prior year was primarily drivendue to a decrease in net discrete tax expense, partially offset by approximatelythe effect of proportionally higher pretax income in jurisdictions with a higher tax rate. We recognized $38.5 million net discrete tax expense through second quarter of 2021 versus $121.7 million net discrete tax expense through second quarter of 2020. The difference is primarily due to the $135 million of discrete tax expense recognized in the second quarter of 2020, which was related to the enactment of the hybrid regulations enacted inas further discussed below.
During the second quarter of 2020, as further discussed below. The increase in the effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was further driven by lower pretax income during the first half of 2020.
Since 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury has continued to issue proposed, temporary and final regulations to implement provisions of the 2017 Tax Act. We have continued to monitor these regulations, and on April 7, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury enacted final hybrid regulations with full retroactive application to January 1, 2018, with a few exceptions. We have reviewed the final regulations and their impact on our tax positions and financial statements. The final regulations, associated with the taxability of certain interest, impact tax positions we took in 2018 and 2019 and have resulted in additional income tax expense of approximately $135 million, which was recognized upon enactment in the second quarter of 2020. The impact of the finalized regulations could result in cash tax outflows up to this amount in 2021. We continue to analyze the potential cash impacts of the final regulations to minimize any cash outflows.
In July 2020,2021, the U.K. government enacted, and royal assent was received for, legislation to repeal the previously enacted reduction toincrease the corporate income tax rate that was duefrom 19% to take effect April 1, 2020, which will change25%. Remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities under the previously anticipated corporatehigher income tax rate from 17% to 19%. We anticipateresulted in the impact to estimated incomerecognition of additional discrete tax expense of approximately $18 million in the thirdsecond quarter of 2020 will be immaterial.2021.
Our tax rate is volatile and may increase or decrease with changes in, among other things, the amount and source of income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate.
Due to anticipated settlements and expected expiration of statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $250 million within the next 12 months.
Since 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury has continued to issue proposed, temporary and final regulations to implement provisions of the 2017 Tax Act. We will continue to monitor these regulations. The final hybrid regulations issued in April 2020 resulted in recognition of approximately $135 million of tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2020. We currently estimate the impact of the final regulations to be cash tax outflows of approximately $100 million in 2021. We continue to analyze the potential cash impacts of the final regulations to minimize cash outflows over time.

Significant events
In March 2021, we experienced a systems outage that was caused by a cybersecurity incident. We engaged leading forensic information technology firms and legal counsel to assist our investigation into the incident and we restored our systems after working to get the systems back up as quickly as possible. Despite these actions, we experienced delays and disruptions to our business, including brewery operations, production and shipments. This incident caused a shift in our production and shipments from the first quarter of 2021 to the balance of fiscal year 2021.
In February 2021, a winter ice storm severely impacted the southern United States. In particular, local government authorities in Texas were forced to impose energy restrictions, causing the Fort Worth brewery to be offline which resulted in our inability to produce or ship product during the downtime.
We continue to monitor the coronavirus pandemic, which has had and we currently expect will continue to have, a material adverse effect on our North America results of operations for fiscal year 2020, and, possibly, beyond. As expected, we experienced a significant adverse impact instarting at the end of the first halfquarter of 2020, resulting from the closureand we expect it will continue to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in 2021. While we have begun to see the on-premise channel for the majority of the second quarter. While we beganreopen, due to see some of the on-premise return in June, businesslimitations and restrictions as well as consumer behavior in the channel has been uncertain anduncertainty, volume has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. For the second quarter of 2020, we estimate that nearly all of our North America volume and net sales was from the off-premise channel. This compares to our 2019 estimate that approximately 16% and 17% of our North America volume and net sales, respectively, was from the on-premise channel, which tends to be more profitable than the off-premise channel as a result of its higher above premium brand mix. We have seen some of the on-premise demand shift to the off-premise; however, this shift has not been proportionate to the severe declines in volume lost from the on-premise closures and weakened demand. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting government-imposed restrictions and related on-premise closures, this portion of our business effectively ceased entirely from the middle of March and into June. Additionally, continuing governmental or societal impositions on bars and restaurants and restrictions on public gatherings including the growing risk of a returnvariants, the rate of vaccination, the effectiveness and prompt distribution of vaccines and further shutdowns, especially if prolongedspecifically in nature, we expectcertain populous provinces of Canada, will continue to have adverse effects on on-premise traffic and, in turn, our business performance, cash flows and liquidity. Further, the CAD has recently become volatile as a result of the ongoing uncertainties and impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Any significant weakening of the CAD to the USD could have an adverse impact on our results due to the relative magnitude of our Canadian business.
Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includeincluded a reduction to net sales of $19.6 million and charges to cost of goods sold of $12.2 million related to the recognition of estimated sales returns and finished good obsolescence reserves and related costs resulting from the on-premise impacts at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. These charges were primarily recognized during the first quarter of 2020, with immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates recognized in the second quarter.quarter of 2020. We also recognized charges to cost of goods sold of $15.5 million related to temporary "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees.employees during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Following management approval in December 2019, in January 2020, we announced plans to cease production at our Irwindale, California brewery and entered into an option agreement with Pabst Brewing Company, LLC ("Pabst"), granting Pabst an option to purchase our Irwindale, California brewery, including plant equipment and machinery and the underlying land for $150 million, subject to adjustment as further specified in the option agreement. Pursuant to the option agreement, on May 4, 2020, Pabst exercised its option to purchase the Irwindale Brewery which is expected to bebrewery and the purchase was completed in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to2020. Production at the satisfactionIrwindale brewery ceased during the third quarter of certain customary closing conditions.2020.

The volatility of aluminum prices, inclusive of Midwest Premium and tariffs, continued to significantly impact our results during the first half of 2020.2021. To the extent these prices continue to fluctuate, our business and financial results could be materially adversely impacted. We continue to monitor these risks and rely on our risk management hedging program to help mitigate price risk exposure for commodities including aluminum and fuel.
In further efforts to help optimize the North America brewery network, in the third quarter of 2017, we announced a plan to build a more efficient and flexible brewery in Longueuil, Quebec. During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our Montreal brewery for $96.2 million, (CAD 126.0 million), resulting in a $61.3 million gain, which was recorded as a special item. In conjunction with the sale, we agreed to lease back the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis until the new brewery is operational, which we currently expect to occur in 2021. However, due to the uncertainty inherent in our estimates, and the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic potentially delaying construction of the new brewery, the timing of the brewery closure is subject to change. We will continue to incur significant capital expenditures associated with the construction of the new brewery in Longueuil, Quebec, through its estimated completion in late 2021.
In June 2019, the Ontario government adopted a bill that, if enacted, would terminate a 10-year Master Framework Agreement that was originally signed between the previous government administration and Molson Canada 2005, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Labatt Brewing Company Limited, Sleeman Breweries Ltd., and Brewers Retail Inc. in 2015 and governsdictates the terms of the beer distribution and retail systems in Ontario through 2025. The government has not yet proclaimed the bill as law. The impacts of these potential legislative changes are unknown at this time, but could have a negative impact on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of the North America segment. While discussions remain ongoing with the government to reach a mutually agreeable alternative to the enactment of the law, it is unclear how the coronavirus pandemic will impact these discussions. Molson Canada 2005 and the other Master Framework Agreement signatories are prepared to vigorously defend theirour rights and pursue legal recourse, should the Master Framework Agreement be unilaterally terminated by the enactment of the legislation. For additional information, see Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies."
In June 2019, Health Canada released final regulations resulting in the legalization of new classes of cannabis products including edibles and cannabis infused beverages on October 17, 2019, with product sales being permitted sixty days after submission of the beverage formulations to Health Canada and satisfaction of all other licensing and regulatory preconditions. Truss, our joint venture with HEXO in Canada, launched its first cannabis infused product, Veryvell Drops, across the Canadian market and we expect it will launch its ready to drink beverage portfolio throughout the remainder of 2020. Separately, in April 2020, we completed the formation of a new joint venture with HEXO to explore opportunities for non-alcohol hemp-derived CBD beverages in Colorado.
Foreign currency impact on results
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, foreign currency movements favorably impacted our North America USD income (loss) before income taxes by $1.1$0.7 million and during the six months ended June 30, 2020, foreign currency movements unfavorably impacted our North America USD income before income taxes by $1.3 million.$0.9 million, respectively. Included in this amountthese amounts are both translational and transactional impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates. The impact of transactional foreign currency gains and losses is recorded within other income (expense) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Significant events
We continue to monitor the coronavirus pandemic, which has had a material adverse effect on our Europe results of operations in 2020 and we currently expect it will continue to have a material adverse effect on our Europe results of operations for fiscal yearin 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2020, a new pandemic wave triggered new lockdowns with different levels of restrictions in Europe from one market to another and possibly, beyond. As expected, we experienced a significant adverse impact incontinued through the first half of 2020 resulting from2021. The additional lockdowns, particularly in the closure ofU.K, had

an adverse effect on on-premise sales during the on-premise channel for the majorityfirst quarter and part of the second quarter. While we began to see some of the on-premise return in June, with the notable exception of the U.K., businessquarter and consumer behavior in the channel has been uncertain and has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. For the second quarter of 2020, we estimate that nearly all of our Europe volume and net sales, respectively, was from the off-premise channel. This compares to our 2019 estimate that approximately 40% and 50-55% of our Europe volume and net sales, respectively, was from the on-premise channel, which tends to be more profitable than the off-premise channel. In addition, the U.K. is further negatively being impacted by the on-premise restrictions as the U.K. comprises approximately 55% of our Europe net sales, which were $1,986.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the Europe net sales includes the U.K. factored brand business, which represents approximately 17% of this amount), and, we estimate, nearly 60% and approximately 70-75% of the U.K. volume and net sales revenue, respectively, originate from the U.K. on-premise channel. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting government-imposed restrictions and related on-premise closures, this portion of our business has effectively ceased entirely from the middle of March through early June across all of Europe and continuing into early July in the U.K. Additionally, the governmental or societal impositions on bars and restaurants and restrictions on public gatherings including the growing risk of a return of shutdowns, especially if prolonged in nature, we expect will continue to have adverse effects on on-premise traffic and, in turn, our business performance, cash flows and liquidity.   liquidity until on premise locations fully reopen and all restrictions are lifted.
Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includeincluded a reduction to net sales of $12.2 million and charges to cost of goods sold of $4.6 million related to the recognition of estimated sales returns and finished good obsolescence reserves and related costs resulting from the on-premise impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. These charges were primarily recognized during the first quarter of 2020, with immaterial adjustments for changes in estimates recognized in the second quarter.quarter of 2020.
As part of our revitalization plan announced during the fourth quarter of 2019, we initiated restructuring activities and continue to incur severance and other employee-related costs as special items.

The GBP has recently become volatile as a result of the government discussions related to the uncertainty and terms of the exit as well as from the ongoing uncertainties and impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. Any significant weakening of the GBP to the USD could have an adverse impact on our results due to the importance and relative magnitude of U.K. sales.2021.
Foreign currency impact on results

Interest income (expense), net
Net interest expense decreased duringfor the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the prior year, primarily driven bydue to the repayment of debt as part of our deleveraging commitments. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 8, "Debt" for further details.
Other pension and postretirement benefit (costs), net
Unallocated other pension and postretirement benefits increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year primarily due to lower pension and postretirement non-service costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity have included cash provided by operating activities and access to external capital. However, athe continued worldwide disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic could materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity. In the event of a sustained market deterioration and continued declines in net sales, profit and operating cash flow, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and cash provided by short-term and long-term borrowings, when necessary, will be adequate to meet our ongoing operating requirements, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, capital expenditures and other obligations for the twelve months subsequent to the date of the issuance of this quarterly report,
51


and our long-term liquidity requirements. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2020, as part of our planned actions
We continue to mitigate liquidity considerations related to the coronavirus pandemic, we amended our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility to revise the leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant upwards for the six fiscal quarters beginning second quarter 2020 to consider the effects of the pandemic on our business. Separately we have entered into the COVID Corporate Financing Facility commercial paper program in the U.K. allowing for an incremental borrowing capacity of up to GBP 300 million as further discussed below.
We are currently focusedfocus on navigating the recentlingering challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flow through taking preemptive action to enhance our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Specifically, we have taken several actions and considered various potential actions that may be needed to meet short-term and mid-term liquidity needs and have resources in place should we need to act on any of these quickly. Such potential actions include, but are not limited to, drawing on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, including issuing commercial paper
40



under our U.S. commercial paper program issuing, as necessary, up to GBP 300 million in commercial paper under the COVID Corporate Financing Facility in the U.K. (see Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 8, "Debt" regarding details of our current borrowings and remaining capacities under these programs), further accessing the capital markets, reducing discretionary spending including marketing, general and administrative as well as capital expenditures, asset monetization, and taking advantage of certain governmental programs such as furloughs in the U.K. and government relief and payment deferral programs, for example by the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), discussed below, and other such government-sponsored legislation and programs. In addition, we and our board of directors continue to actively evaluate various capital allocation considerations, which most recently led to taking the action in late May 2020 to suspend our regular quarterly dividends otherwise payable in fiscal year 2020. considerations.
While we currently expect to have the necessary cash on hand to repay obligations when due, continued declines in net sales and profit could have a material adverse effect on our financial operations, cash flow and our ability to raise capital. The effects of the coronavirus pandemic isare ongoing, and because of its dynamic nature, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate spread of variants, the virus,rate of vaccinations and the severityefficacy of the disease,vaccines, the duration of the pandemic, the duration of on-premise restrictions and closures and related prolonged weakening of economic or other negative conditions, and governmental reactions, we cannot fully anticipate future conditions given the substantial uncertainties in the economy in general. We may have unexpected costs and liabilities; revenue and cash provided by operations may decline; macroeconomic conditions may continue to weaken; prolonged and severe levels of unemployment may negatively impact our consumers; and competitive pressures may increase. These factors may result in difficulty maintaining liquidity, meeting our deleverage commitments and complying with our revolving credit facility covenants. As a result, our credit ratings could be downgraded, which would increase our costs of future borrowing and harm our ability to refinance our debt in the future on acceptable terms or at all. However, in anticipation of these uncertainties, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility on June 19, 2020. While the amendment did not increase our borrowing capacity or extend the term of the facility, it, among other things, (i) temporarily increasesincreased certain levels of the applicable rate by 25 basis points for the period beginning June 19, 2020 and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, and (ii) revisesrevised the leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant for each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2020 through the maturity of the Credit Agreement.credit agreement.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional liquidity if our revolving credit facility is fully drawn, the capital markets become inaccessible or if our credit rating is adversely impacted, which may result in difficulties in accessing debt markets or increase our debt costs. Even if we have access to the capital markets, we may not be able to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to maintain or access adequate liquidity, our ability to timely pay our obligations when due could be adversely affected.
Continued disruption and declines in the global economy could also impact our customers' liquidity and capital resources and therefore our ability to collect, or the timeliness of collection of our accounts receivable from them, which may have a material adverse impact on our performance, cash flows and capital resources. We continue to monitor our accounts receivable aging and have recorded reserves as appropriate. In addition, measures taken by governmental agencies to provide relief to businesses could further impact our ability to collect from customers. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional discussion related to our accounts receivable and associated reserves.
Additionally, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, various governmental authorities globally have announcedimplemented relief programs which we continue to monitor and evaluate, such as the CARES Act in the U.S. Certain of these relief programs provide temporary deferrals of income and non-income based tax payments, which have positively impacted our operating cash flows in 2020. Of the first half of 2020. We anticipate that a significant portion of the over $500approximate $130 million of cash flow benefits recognized through the second quarter ofin 2020 resulting from these temporary deferrals, will reversethe majority is expected to be paid in the second half of 2020, with the remaining amounts reversing beyond this fiscal year as these deferred payments programs end and payments are due.

2021.
While a significant portion of our cash flows from operating activities is generated within the U.S., our cash balances may be comprised of cash held outside the U.S. and in currencies other than USD. As of June 30, 2020,2021, approximately 69%35% of our cash and cash equivalents waswere located outside the U.S., largely denominated in foreign currencies. The recent fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may have a material impact on these foreign cash balances. We accrue for tax consequences on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries upon repatriation. When the earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the U.S., we do not accrue taxes. To the extent necessary, we accrue for tax consequences on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries upon repatriation. However, we continue to assess the impact of the 2017 Tax Act and related U.S. Department of Treasury proposed, temporary and final regulations, on the tax consequences of future cash repatriations. We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. We periodically review and evaluate these strategies, including external committed and non-committed credit agreements accessible by MCBC and each of our operating subsidiaries. We believe these financing arrangements, along with the cash generated from the operations of our U.S. business and other liquidity measures resulting from considerations of the on-going coronavirus global pandemic, as discussed above, are sufficient to fund our current cash needs in the U.S.U.S..
Additionally, our cash balances in foreign countries are often subject to additional restrictions and covenants. We may, therefore, have difficulties repatriating cash held outside of the U.S. which would also be subject to various repatriation taxes. In some countries repatriation of certain foreign balances is restricted by local laws and could have adverse tax consequences if
41



we were to move the cash to another country. These limitations may affect our ability to fully utilize our cash resources for needs in the U.S. or other countries and may adversely affect our liquidity.
Separately, as discussed in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Income Tax", the U.S. Department of Treasury recently enactedissued final hybrid regulations which impact tax positions we took in 2018 and 2019 and haveApril 2020, which resulted in additional income tax expenserecognition of approximately $135 million recognized duringin the second quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2020. TheWe currently estimate the impact of the finalizedfinal regulations could result into be cash tax outflows up to this amountof approximately $100 million in 2021. We continue to analyze the potential cash impacts of the final regulations to minimize any cash outflows.outflows over time.
Cash Flows and Use of Cash
Our business generates positive operating cash flow each year, and our debt maturities are of a longer-term nature. However, our liquidity could be impacted significantly by the risk factors we described in Part I—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report, Part II-Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report and the items listed above.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1.1 billionwas $748.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $231.92021 compared to $1,059.9 million compared tofor the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $828.0$311.4 million was primarily due to the unfavorable timing of working capital and higher cash paid for taxes partially offset by higher net income adjusted for non-cash add-backs and lower interest paid during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This benefit was primarily driven by favorable2021. The unfavorable timing of working capital lower cash paid for taxes and lower interest paid, partially offsetwas impacted by lower net income adjusted for non-cash add-backs duringprior year tax payment deferrals, timing of receipts related to higher volumes as well as incentive payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2020. Notably,2020, working capital and cash paid for taxes benefited from over $500 million in deferred tax paymentspayment deferrals from various government-sponsored payment deferral programs initiated in response to the coronavirus pandemic, of which we currently anticipate a significant portion to be paid in the second half of 2020 with the remaining amounts to be paid beyond this fiscal year.pandemic.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $341.5$200.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased2021 decreased by $173.7$141.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, driven2020, primarily by the receipt of $94.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of our Montreal brewery during the second quarter of 2019, higherdue to lower capital expenditures and lower net cashhigher inflows from other investing activities, including the proceedssale of approximately $47 million received from the voluntary settlementIndia disposal group. The decrease in capital expenditures was primarily due to the timing of our cross currency swaps during the second quarter of 2019.capital projects.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $449.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to2020. The decrease in the net cash used in financing activities of approximately $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily driven bydue to lower net debt repayments, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 and lower dividends paid resulting fromdividend payments as a result of the suspension of our dividend payments infrom May 2020 through the second quarter of 2020,2021 and lower net cash outflows from other financing activities, partially offset by an increase inlower borrowings under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program.
Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $780.8$1,308.9 million, compared to $523.4$770.1 million as of December 31, 20192020 and $490.2$780.8 million as of June 30, 2019.2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents from both prior periodsDecember 31, 2020 was primarily driven bydue to the cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by capital expenditures. The increase in cash and cash equivalents from June 30, 2020 was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities and the proceeds from the sale of properties and other assets, including the above-mentioned deferred tax payments fromprior year Irwindale brewery sale, partially offset by capital expenditures, the repayment of debt and repayment of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program.

Based on the credit profile of our lenders that are party to our credit facilities, we are confident in our ability to continue to draw on our revolving credit facility if the need arises. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $1.3$1.5 billion available to draw on our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is also reduced by borrowings under ourthere were no outstanding revolving credit facility or commercial paper program. As of June 30, 2020, we had total outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program of approximately $200 million.borrowings. Subsequent to June 30, 2020,2021, we had net commercial paper paymentsborrowings of approximately $25 million, for a total amount outstanding of approximately $175$140 million as of July 30, 2020.29, 2021. As such, as of July 30, 2020,29, 2021, we have approximately $1.3$1.4 billion available to draw on our total $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. We had no borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility and no commercial paper borrowings as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, we expect to use commercial paper issuances and cash on hand to fund the upcoming repayment of our CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due September 2020, which we began purchasing CAD in anticipation of this upcoming maturity during July 2020.
Separately, on May 26, 2020, Molson Coors Brewing Company (UK) Limited (“MCBC U.K.”), a subsidiary of MCBC that operates and manages the Company’s business in the U.K., established a commercial paper facility for the purpose of issuing short-term, unsecured Sterling-denominated notes that are eligible for purchase under the Joint HM Treasury and Bank of England’s COVID Corporate Financing Facility commercial paper program (the “CCFF Program”) in an aggregate principal amount up to GBP 300 million, which may be increased from time to time as provided in the Dealer Agreement (as defined in Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 8, "Debt"). Commercial paper issuances under the CCFF Program do not impact the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. We had no borrowings outstanding under the CCFF Program as of June 30, 2020 or July 30, 2020.
In addition, we intend to further utilize our cross-border, cross currency cash pool as well as our commercial paper programs for liquidity as needed. We also have JPY, CAD, GBP and USD overdraft facilities as well as an additional JPY line of credit across several banks should we need additional short-term liquidity.
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations, warranties and covenants, as well as covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness (certain thresholds of secured consolidated net tangible assets), certain leverage threshold percentages, create or permit liens on assets and restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and certain types of sale lease-back transactions.
On June 19, 2020, we entered into to an amendment to our existing Additionally, under the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, agreement, which among other things, revised the leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant for each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2020 through the maturity of the credit facility. The maximum leverage ratio as defined by the amended revolving credit facility agreement as of June 30, 20202021 is 4.75x net debt to EBITDA with an increase to 5.25x net debt to EBITDA as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021, followed by a 0.50x0.25x reduction to 4.75x4.50x net debt to EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending JuneSeptember 30, 2021. The leverage ratio requirement as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 is reduced by 0.25x to 4.50x net debt to EBITDA, with a further 0.50x reduction to 4.00x net debt to EBITDA as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 through maturity of the credit facility. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions, have met such financial ratios and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of June 30, 20202021 rank pari-passu.

notes due 2046 and 1.25% senior notes due 2024. The senior notes issued under the May 2012 Indenture and the July 2016 Indenture were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries of MCBC, which are listed on Exhibit 22 of our Annual Report (the "Subsidiary Guarantors", and together with the Parent Issuer, the "Obligor Group"). "Parent Issuer" in this section is specifically referring to MCBC in its capacity as the issuer of the senior notes under the May 2012 Indenture and the July 2016 Indenture. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Issuer. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
None of our other outstanding debt was issued in a transaction that was registered with the SEC, and such other outstanding debt is issued or otherwise generally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Obligor Group or other consolidated subsidiaries of MCBC. These other guarantees are also full and unconditional and joint and several.
The senior notes and related guarantees rank pari-passu with all other unsubordinated debt of the Obligor Group and senior to all future subordinated debt of the Obligor Group. The guarantees can be released upon the sale or transfer of a Subsidiary Guarantors' capital stock or substantially all of its assets, or if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a guarantor under our other outstanding debt.

Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange risk is inherent in our operations primarily due to the significant operating results that are denominated in currencies other than USD. Our approach is to reduce the volatility of cash flows and reported earnings which result from currency fluctuations rather than business related factors. Therefore, we closely monitor our operations in each country and seek to adopt appropriate strategies that are responsive to foreign currency fluctuations. Our financial risk management policy is intended to offset a portion of the potentially unfavorable impact of exchange rate changes on net income and earnings per share. See Part II—Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 16, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" of our Annual Report for additional information on our financial risk management strategies.
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is our reporting currency. Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies that are the functional currencies for the respective operations are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period throughout the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in earnings for the period. The significant exchange rates to the USD used in the preparation of our consolidated financial results for the primary foreign currencies used in our foreign operations (functional currency) are as follows:

operations of the USD equivalent. During the first half of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in increased volatility in exchange rates including the weakening of the CAD and GBP versus the USD. If foreign currencies in the countries in which we operate devalue significantly in future periods, most significantly the CAD, GBP, EUR and other European operating currencies included in the above table, then the impact on USD reported earnings may be material.
Capital Expenditures
We incurred $271.4$204.3 million, and have paid $345.1$211.9 million, for capital improvement projects worldwide in the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, excluding capital spending by equity method joint ventures, representing an increasea decrease of $27.9$67.1 million from the $243.5$271.4 million of capital expenditures incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. This increasedecrease was primarily due to the timing of projects, including the on-going construction of the new brewery in Longueuil, Quebec and increased investments to modernize our Golden, Colorado brewery.
As a partial mitigating action to prepare to offset some of the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, we have reduced ourexpenditures for capital expenditure plans by approximately $200 million for full year 2020, based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2020. This expectation includes capital expenditures associated with the construction of our new Longueuil, Quebec brewery, which is under construction and not currently expected to be completed until 2021, and increased investment to modernize our Golden, Colorado brewery, which began in the fourth quarter of 2019. However, certain aspects of both projects are currently delayed and mayprojects. We continue to be delayed as a result of the pandemic.
We are currently focused on navigating the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, we have considered various actions that may be needed in relation to mitigation efforts, such as, but not limited to, reducing and/or delaying discretionary capital expenditure spend.
In light of this, we have heightened our focus on where and how we employ our remaining planned capital expenditures, with an emphasis on strengthening our focus on required returns on invested capital as we determine how to best allocate cash within the business.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business or due to factors similar in nature to inflation, changing prices on operations or changes in the remaining terms of the contracts since December 31, 2019,2020, as reported in Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments in our Annual Report with the exception of the repayment of our $500 million 2.25%$1.0 billion 2.1% notes during the first quarter of 2020. However, wein July 2021. We continue to review and monitor our contractual obligations and commitments relative to the potential considerations resulting from the on-going coronavirus pandemic.
Guarantees
We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. See Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.
Contingencies
We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, environmental litigation and indemnities associated with our sale of Kaiser to FEMSA. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.

Outlook
While the first quarter of 2021 was a challenge with the February 2021 Texas winter storm, the March 2021 cybersecurity incident, and the continued government restrictions related to the pandemic, including those that shut down the entire on-premise channel in the U.K., the second quarter of 2021 showed improvements in our performance. We have seencontinue to strive to build on the benefitsstrength of our workiconic core brands, grow our above premium portfolio, expand beyond the beer aisle, invest in response to the short-term impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and are confident in how we are positioning the business for the long term. However, we are still actively monitoring the continued evolution of the coronavirus pandemic and resulting impacts to our business. While we began to see some of the on-premise return in June in many of our markets, with the notable exception of the U.K. which remained closed until early July, business in the channel has been slow, remains uncertain and has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, as a result of this uncertainty, along with the growing risk of a return of shutdowns in certain markets, we currently continue to expect a

significant adverse impactcapabilities and support our people and communities. While uncertainty still exists in the severity and duration of the pandemic, including outbreaks of variants, the rate of vaccination and the efficacy of vaccines against the coronavirus and related variants we continue to both net salesmake progress under the revitalization plan, and profit performance forcontinue to reinvest in the thirdbusiness to drive sustainable top- and bottom-line growth.
We experienced delays and disruptions to our business, including brewery operations, production and shipments in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the March 2021 cybersecurity incident. This incident caused a shift in our production and shipments from the first quarter of 2021 to the balance of fiscal year 2020,2021. During the second quarter of 2021, we made progress recovering from the incident with increased shipments and possibly, beyond.
The coronavirus pandemic continuesexpect to impact our business due to on-premise losses across all our geographies, and disproportionately in Europe, andrecover fully by the end of the year. In addition, we expect negative trends in volume, net sales revenue, mix, and unfavorable fixed cost absorption in cost of goods sold will continue for the foreseeable future. Off-premise demand has been strong, but it has not fully offset the on-premise losses and, while the current on-premise trends continue, we do not expect that any increaseto improve in total off-premise volumes due to channel shifting will be sufficient to offset the on-premise losses. In addition, where we have seen shifts in demand to the off-premise, and certain package types, this has strained our supply chain and package availability, particularly with aluminum can demand and other packaging materials, requiring that we strategically prioritize certain brands and package types. Our supply chain continues to work diligently to ensure sufficient supply of these high demand brands and packages as we adjust to these changing consumer dynamics. We currently expect these supply constraints to remain a challenge for the third quarter of 2020. However, in the U.S., we expect domestic shipment trends to be higher than brand volume trends as we build distributor inventories for the balance of the year.
We expect our marketing investment to increaseyear as we lap restrictions in the second half of 2020 in North America as further discussed below, but some of this spend will be dependent on a number of factors including the anticipated return of live sports. Additionally, we will be cycling lower incentive compensation, particularly long-term incentive compensation, from the prior year comparison period.
We plan to build on the strength of our core brands, Coors Light and Miller Lite, by putting even more marketing behind these two iconic brands in both2021.
Our revitalization plan continues to deliver results as we grow our above premium portfolio and expand beyond the third and fourth quarters, as well as a non-recurring vendor benefitbeer aisle. We delivered positive brand mix in the U.S. in the fourthsecond quarter of 2020.
Further,2021 which was driven by strong growth in responseour U.S. hard seltzer portfolio. To continue to grow our share of the coronavirus pandemic, various governmental authorities globally have announced relief programs which among other items, provide temporary deferralshard seltzer market, we introduced line extensions of incomeour hard seltzer Vizzy and non-income based tax payments, which have positively impactedimproved the supply of Topo Chico Hard Seltzer to meet the demand. In addition, we expanded our operating cash flowshard seltzer portfolio around the world with Vizzy and Coors Seltzer recently launching in Canada. We launched the Three Fold hard seltzer brand in the first half of 2020.U.K. and extended seltzers into Central Europe as well. We anticipate that a significant portionare also investing in our hard seltzer production capacity in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. which will drive efficiencies and improve our profit margin. We plan to continue to grow our share of the over $500 million of cash flow benefits recognized through the first half of 2020 resulting from these temporary deferrals will reversehard seltzer market.
We also expect to have further growth opportunities in 2021 as we bring Yuengling brands west in the second half of 2020,U.S. under our new joint venture, which will oversee any new market expansion outside Yuengling's current 22-state footprint and New England, beginning with the remaining amounts reversing beyond this fiscal year as these deferred payments programs end and payments are due.
With the continued spread of the coronavirus and the reversal of certain on-premise re-openings, the extent, severity and durationplans to which our operations will be impacted by the pandemic remains uncertain. Therefore, we previously withdrew our financial outlook for 2020 and beyond and have determined that the market remains too unpredictablebring Yuengling to provide an updated detailed financial outlook at this time.
Despite these obstacles, we continue to effectively navigate the coronavirus pandemic taking numerous actions to protect our employees and mitigate short-term challenges while simultaneously working to position our business to succeedTexas in the longer term including:third quarter of 2021.
We expect this expansion beyond beer to continue throughout 2021. In early 2021, we commenced our new energy drink partnership with We institutedZOA and provided approximately $16 million of "thank you" pay for certain essential North America brewery employees which concluded inco-owner Dwayne Johnson continues to amplify the second quarterproduct across his social media presence as well as a paid leave policy and voluntary paid leave program, while also taking necessary steps to protect our employees by implementing additional health and safety measures in breweries and distribution centers,through new TV campaigns that will debut during the Olympics.
We prioritized and shifted our marketing spend significantly including shifting media to platforms with higher audiences in the current environment while suspending on-premise activation spending and reducing or eliminating spend in areas that have been significantly impacted, for example sports and in-market activations. We also adjusted the timing of spend behind brands and packs that were constrained by supply. These actions resulted in significant reductions in spend in the second quarter of 2020 versus the second quarter of 2019. With the expected improvement in availability of our brands, as well as the very successful launch of Vizzy and Blue Moon LightSky as well as the upcoming launch of Coors Seltzer, we currently anticipate marketing spend in the third and fourth quarter of 2020 to be above the prior year in North America,
While second quarter of 2020 shipments were below desired levels driven in part by the on-premise closures, we strategically prioritized brands and package types to meet off-premise demand leading to positive mix in the U.S. and continue to work diligently to deliver product to meet these evolving shifts in demand,
We reduced discretionary spending, limited new hiring and restricted travel,
We reduced our planned 2020 capital expenditures by approximately $200 million and those reductions remain on target without sacrificing our ability to invest in necessary safety and maintenance projects and return-focused capital investments to our breweries, such as our Fort Worth, Texas seltzer expansion,
We entered into an amendment to our existing $1.5 billion revolving credit facility agreement, which among other things, favorably revises the leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant for each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2020 through the maturity of the credit facility giving us greater financial flexibility,
We established a commercial paper facility in the U.K. for the purpose of issuing short-term, unsecured GBP-denominated notes that are eligible for purchase under the Joint HM Treasury and Bank of England’s COVID Corporate Financing Facility commercial paper program in an aggregate principal amount up to GBP 300 million adding incremental borrowing capacity,

Our board of directors suspended our regular quarterly dividends on our Class A and Class B common and exchangeable shares otherwise payable in the 2020 fiscal year, and
We remain committed to maintaining our investment grade debt rating.
Amidst the backdrop of this global pandemic, we are very pleased with our second quarter of 2020 financial performance, our progress in improving liquidity, and efforts to advance our long-term goals for the business. While we are confident in our ability to achieve long-term success, we are mindful of the continued challenges and continuedthe uncertainty that lie ahead. During this time of great uncertainty, our managementremains and board will continue to take prudent and proactive actions which are in the best interests of the Company, our employees, consumers, customers and our stockholders. Our decisions will be guided by, and consistent with, the Company’s overall financial discipline, ensuring adequate liquidity and our continued desire to maintain our investment grade rating. Our actions remain focused on doing what is best not only in the near-term, but also positioning the business for mediummedium- and long-term success. Our improved financial flexibility has enabled us to invest in our business while continuing to de-lever our balance sheet and to reinstate a dividend.
Interest
We anticipate 2021 consolidated net interest expense of approximately $270 million, plus or minus 5%.
Deleverage & Dividends
We repaid in full our $1.0 billion 2.1% notes at maturity on July 15, 2021 using a combination of commercial paper borrowings and cash on hand and also settled the associated cross currency swap. In addition, a quarterly dividend was reinstated in the third quarter of 2021. We currently intend to maintain our investment grade debt rating and we are committed to further deleveraging in 2021 in accordance with our plans.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, we actively manage our exposure to various market risks by entering into various supplier-based and market-based hedging transactions, authorized under established risk management policies that place clear
48



controls on these activities. Our objective in managing these exposures is to decrease the volatility of our earnings and cash flows due to changes in underlying rates and costs.
The counterparties to our market-based transactions are generally highly rated institutions. We perform assessments of their credit risk regularly. Our market-based transactions include a variety of derivative financial instruments, none of which are used for trading or speculative purposes.
For details of our derivative instruments that are presented on the balance sheet, including their fair values as of period end, see Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." On a rolling twelve-month basis, maturities of derivative financial instruments held on June 30, 2020,2021, based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2020,2021, are as follows:

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 20202021 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
49



allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures that, by their nature, can only provide reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the three months ended June 30, 20202021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Litigation and other disputes
For information regarding litigation, other disputes and environmental and regulatory proceedings see Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies."
We are also involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, none of these disputes and legal actions are expected to have a material impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

These breaches may result from human errors, equipment failure, or fraud or malice on the on-premise channel, including staged on premise re-openings and subsequent closurepart of on-premise accounts, the delay of, and potential increased costs related to, inventory production and fulfillment, including packaging availability impacted by package mix shifts related to off-premise demand, including significantly increased need for aluminum cans and paperboard, and lower return ratesemployees or third parties.

Management's Discussion and costAnalysis of goods globallyFinancial Condition and potential incremental costs associated with mitigating the effectsResults of the pandemic,Operations in this report, could subject us to litigation, including increased raw materials, freightclass action or derivative lawsuits, regulatory fines, and logistics costs and other expenses. Packaging material supply shortages and supply chain constraints have impacted andpenalties, any of which could continue to negatively impact our ability to meet increased demand in off-premise channels or particular packages, which in turn could impact our net sales revenues and market share. Continued disruption and declines in the global economy have impacted and could continue to impact our customers’ liquidity and capital resources and therefore our ability to collect, or the timeliness of collection of our accounts receivable from them, which may have a material adversesignificant negative impact on our performance, cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations. If our information systems suffer outages, we could experience delays and capital resources. The coronavirus pandemic is ongoing,disruptions in our business, including brewery operations, production and its dynamic nature, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the pandemic and related prolonged weakening of economic or other negative conditions,shipments, such as a recessionthose we experienced with the March 2021 cybersecurity incident. In addition, if our information systems suffer severe damage, disruption or slowed economic growthshutdown, such as those we experienced with the March 2021 cybersecurity incident, we could experience delays in reporting our markets, and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the pandemic or to mitigate its impact, makes it difficult to forecast any effects on ourfinancial results, of operations for 2020 and in subsequent years. However, our results of operations have been negatively affected and we currently expectmay lose revenue and profits as a result of our resultsinability to timely invoice and collect payments from our customers. We have seen an increase in the number of operations for the remaindersuch attacks recently as a large number of 2020 to be significantlyour employees are working remotely and adversely affected.
Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions inaccessing our markets, such as further decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment or a further decline in consumer confidencetechnology infrastructure remotely as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as limitedpandemic. In addition, the March 2021 cybersecurity incident may embolden other individuals or significantly reduced points of access ofgroups to target our product, could continueinformation systems and impact the costs or ability for us to have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products. Under difficult economic conditions, consumersobtain adequate insurance coverages moving forward. Further, such attacks may continue to seek to reduce discretionary spendingoriginate from nation states or attempts by forgoing purchases of our products, by shifting away from our above-premium products to lower-priced products offered by usoutside parties, hackers, criminal organizations or other companies orthreat actors.
We expend significant financial resources to protect against threats and cyber-attacks and may be required to further expend financial resources to alleviate problems caused by shiftingphysical, electronic and cyber security breaches, including the potential for increased ongoing expenses related to off-premise from on-premise consumption, negatively impacting our net salesthe March 2021 cybersecurity incident and margins. Softer consumer demand for our products, particularly in North America, could reduce our profitability and could negatively affect our overall financial performance. A significant portion of our consolidated net sales revenues are concentrated in the United States and Europe, where the coronavirus pandemic impacts have been significant. Therefore, unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, in the U.S. and Europe, includingto address possible increased information system attacks as a result of the coronavirus pandemicincident. As techniques used to breach security are growing in frequency and any resulting recessionsophistication and are generally not recognized until launched against a target, regardless of our expenditures and protection efforts, we may not be able to implement security measures in a timely manner or, slowed economic growth, have had,if and when implemented, these measures could continuebe circumvented. We could also be required to have, an outsized negative impact on us. In addition, difficult economic conditions may have a negative impact on our ability to access capital marketsspend significant financial and other funding sources, on acceptable termsresources to remedy the damage caused by a security breach or at all, should we seek future financing. Additionally, we may have unexpected coststo repair or replace networks and liabilities; revenue and cash provided by operations may decline; macroeconomic conditions may continue to weaken; prolonged and severe levels of unemployment may negatively impact our consumers; and competitive pressures may increase, resulting in difficulty maintaining adequate liquidity and meeting our deleverage commitments and as a result, our credit ratingsinformation systems, which could be downgraded, which would adversely impact our business, including by increasing our costs of future borrowing and harming our ability to refinance our debt in the future on acceptable terms or access the capital markets, if we are able to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us at all. Further, notwithstanding the amendment to our revolving credit facility on June 19, 2020 to revise the leverage ratios under the financial maintenance covenant upwards for the six fiscal quarters beginning second quarter 2020, should the impacts of the pandemic and resulting performance adversely affect our ability to remain compliant with our covenants in our revolving credit facility agreement and absent another amendment or waiver from participating lenders, the outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility agreement may become immediately due. Such events may additionally trigger an event of default on our senior notes resulting in the potential acceleration of amounts due thereunder.

In addition, the coronavirus pandemic and related efforts to mitigate its spread, have impacted, and may continue to impact for the foreseeable future, customer traffic to the on-premise channel, which includes bars, restaurants and sporting, festival and other large venues. Many governmental authorities in our North America and Europe businesses have required that bars and restaurants close or cease sit-down service, which has negatively impacted and we expect will continue to negatively impact on-premise sales of our beverages and previously led to the incurrence of costs to repurchase products that on-premise accounts or distributors were unable or prohibited from selling as a result of the governmental regulations. Despite the limited reopening of on-premise accounts in certain of our markets in in the second quarter, sales to restaurants and bars have not returned to pre-pandemic levels and in many instances, the reopened on-premise accounts have been subsequently forced to close in certain of our markets as a result of an increase in the spread of the coronavirus. We currently expect that closures and reduced on-premise consumption may continue for an unknown period, negatively impacting our net sales and margins. In addition, sporting events, festivals and other large public gatherings where our products are served have been canceled throughout North America and Europe. Additionally, these and other governmental or societal impositions of restrictions on public gatherings, especially if prolonged in nature, will have adverse effects on on-premise traffic and, in turn, our business. Even if such measures are not implemented and coronavirus does not spread more significantly, or if after the pandemic has initially subsided, fear of re-occurrence or the perceived risk of infection or health risk may adversely affect traffic to the on-premise channel and, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business liquidity,and financial conditionresults. For example, we incurred certain incremental net one-time costs of $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to consultants, experts and resultsdata recovery efforts, net of operations, particularly ifinsurance recoveries.
