Cautionary Statement Pursuant to Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). From time to time, we may also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements, and include, but are not limited to, statements under the headings "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and under the heading "Outlook for 2016 " therein, relating to the pending acquisition of the remaining 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors LLC and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, overall volume trends, consumer preferences, pricing trends, industry forces, cost reduction strategies, anticipated results, anticipated synergies, expectations for funding future capital expenditures and operations, debt service capabilities, shipment levels and profitability, market share and the sufficiency of capital resources. In addition, statements that we make in this report that are not statements of historical fact may also be forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects," "goals," "plans," "believes," "continues," "may," "anticipate," "seek," "estimate," "outlook," "trends," "future benefits," "potential," "projects," "strategies," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from those indicated (both favorably and unfavorably). These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to those described under the heading "Risk Factors," elsewhere throughout this report, and those described from time to time in our past and future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when made and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Market and Industry Data

The market and industry data used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on independent industry publications, customers, trade or business organizations, reports by market research firms and other published statistical information from third parties, as well as information based on management’s good faith estimates, which we derive from our review of internal information and independent sources. Although we believe these sources to be reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information.

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "we," "us" or "our" includes Molson Coors Brewing Company ("MCBC" or the "Company"), principally a holding company, and its operating and non-operating subsidiaries included within our reporting segments and Corporate. Our reporting segments include: Molson Coors Canada ("MCC" or Canada segment), operating in Canada; MillerCoors LLC ("MillerCoors" or U.S. segment), which is accounted for by us under the equity method of accounting, operating in the United States ("U.S."); Molson Coors Europe (Europe segment), operating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and the United Kingdom ("U.K."); and Molson Coors International ("MCI"), operating in various other countries. Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$") and comparisons are to comparable prior periods.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). Such unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 ("Annual Report"), and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements ("Notes") included in our Annual Report. Our accounting policies did not change in the first half of 2016 .

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify and improve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The new guidance includes amendments to share-based accounting for income taxes, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a company's payments for tax withholdings should be classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Additionally, this guidance will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users to better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. The guidance should be applied under a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the adoption-period financial statements. Any leases that expire before the initial application date will not require any accounting adjustment. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance.

In July 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the measurement of inventory. The amendment requires entities to measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and replaces the current requirement to measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost or market, which considers replacement cost, net realizable value, and net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendment should be

applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance, but anticipate that such impact would be minimal.

In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to new accounting requirements for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. Subsequent to the release of this guidance, the FASB has issued additional updates intended to provide interpretive clarifications and to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue recognition standard both at transition and on an ongoing basis. The new standard and related amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual reporting period. Upon adoption of the new standard, the use of either a full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method is permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Segment Reporting

Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate, which are the basis on which our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the business. Our reporting segments consist of Canada, the U.S., Europe and MCI. Corporate is not a segment and primarily includes interest and certain other general and administrative costs that are not allocated to any of the operating segments. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , respectively. Net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting sales revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes are insignificant (other than those with MillerCoors, see Note 4, "Investments" for additional detail) and eliminated in consolidation.

The following table presents net sales by segment:

4. Investments

Our investments include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as variable interest entities ("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, consolidate these entities. None of our consolidated VIEs held debt as of June 30, 2016 , or December 31, 2015 . 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. As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K.") and Grolsch U.K. Ltd. ("Grolsch"). Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI") and Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL").

In June 2016, our equity method investment, BRI, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) entered into an agreement to extend the term of BRI's CAD 150 million revolving credit facility for an additional year. The extended agreement matures in June 2017, with one -year renewal options subject to approval by CIBC. MCBC, along with two additional shareholders of BRI, each guarantee BRI’s obligations under the facility, with our proportionate share of the guarantee totaling 45.9% . As a result of this guarantee, we have a current liability of $18.8 million and $16.9 million as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of the guarantee equals its 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 equity method investment within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The guarantee liability was calculated based on our proportionate 45.9% share of BRI’s total revolving credit facility outstanding balance at June 30, 2016 . The resulting change in our equity method investment during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.

In 2015, we, along with the other owners of BRI and the Province of Ontario, agreed to revise the ownership structure of BRI. The new BRI shareholder agreement (“New Shareholder Agreement”) incorporating these changes became effective at the beginning of 2016, at which time BRI converted all existing capital stock into a new share class, as well as created a separate share class to facilitate new and existing brewer participation and governance. While governance and board of director participation continues to have the ability to fluctuate based on market share relative to the other owners, our equity interest has become fixed under the New Shareholder Agreement. We have evaluated the changes within the New Shareholder Agreement from a primary beneficiary perspective and concluded that we will continue to account for BRI as an equity method investment, as control of BRI continues to be shared under the New Shareholder Agreement.

Equity Investments

Investment in MillerCoors

On November 11, 2015, we entered into a purchase agreement with Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV to acquire all of SABMiller plc's (“SABMiller”) 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico as described in the Purchase Agreement (the "Acquisition"). Following the closing of the pending Acquisition, we will own 100% of the outstanding equity and voting interests of MillerCoors. See further details regarding the pending Acquisition in Note 16, "Pending Acquisition" .

Summarized financial information for MillerCoors is as follows:

(1)

Our net investment in MillerCoors is based on the carrying values of the net assets contributed to the joint venture which is less than our proportionate share of underlying equity ( 42% ) of MillerCoors (contributed by both Coors Brewing Company and Miller Brewing Company ("Miller")). This basis difference, with the exception of certain non-amortizing items (goodwill, land, etc.), is being amortized as additional equity income over the remaining useful lives of the contributed long-lived amortizing assets.

Represents an $11.1 million benefit associated with an anticipated refund to Coors Brewing Company ("CBC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Molson Coors, of U.S. federal excise tax paid on products imported by CBC based on qualifying volumes exported by CBC from the U.S. Due to administrative restrictions outlined within the legislation enacted in 2016, the anticipated refund is not expected to be received until 2018. Accordingly, the anticipated refund amount represents a non-current receivable which has been recorded within other non-current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 .

5. Share-Based Payments

We have one incentive compensation plan, the MCBC Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Incentive Compensation Plan"), and all outstanding equity awards were issued under the Incentive Compensation Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , we recognized share-based compensation expense related to the following Class B common stock awards to certain directors, officers and other eligible employees, pursuant to the Incentive Compensation Plan: restricted stock units ("RSUs"), deferred stock units ("DSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and stock options. Additionally, we recognized share-based compensation expense related to performance units ("PUs") during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . These awards fully vested in the first quarter of 2015 and no further PUs have since been issued. The settlement amount of the PSUs is determined based on market and performance metrics, which include our total shareholder return performance relative to the S&P 500 and specified internal performance metrics designed to drive greater shareholder return. PSU compensation expense is based on a fair value assigned to the market metric using a Monte Carlo model, which will remain constant throughout the vesting period of three years, and a performance multiplier, which will vary due to changing estimates of the performance metric condition.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense and includes share-based compensation related to pre-existing MCBC equity awards held by former MCBC employees that have transferred to MillerCoors:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2016			June 30, 2015			June 30, 2016			June 30, 2015
	(In millions)
Pretax compensation expense	$	6.4		$	4.9		$	13.1		$	8.1
Tax benefit	(1.9		)	(1.3		)	(3.8		)	(2.1		)
After-tax compensation expense	$	4.5		$	3.6		$	9.3		$	6.0

The increase in expense in the first half of 2016 was primarily driven by performance metrics increasing the fair value of our PSUs.

As of June 30, 2016 , there was $45.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense from all share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan, related to unvested awards. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Exercisable at June 30, 2016	1.0	$47.81	4.1	$	51.4

The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , were $9.9 million and $25.7 million , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , cash received from stock option exercises was $5.4 million and $28.6 million , respectively, and the total excess tax benefit from these stock option exercises and other awards was $4.4 million and $7.6 million , respectively.

The fair value of each option granted in the first half of 2016 and 2015 was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:



	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015
Risk-free interest rate	1.40%	1.70%
Dividend yield	1.81%	2.20%
Volatility range	23.16%-24.64%	21.65%-29.90%
Weighted-average volatility	23.53%	23.71%
Expected term (years)	5.2	5.7
Weighted-average fair market value	$16.65	$13.98

The risk-free interest rates utilized for periods throughout the contractual life of the stock options are based on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security yield at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and implied volatility of our stock. The expected term of stock options is estimated based upon observations of historical employee option exercise patterns and trends of those employees granted options in the respective year.

Table of Contents

The fair value of the market metric for each PSU granted in the first half of 2016 and 2015 was determined on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model to simulate total shareholder return for MCBC and peer companies with the following weighted-average assumptions:



	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015
Risk-free interest rate	1.04%	1.06%
Dividend yield	1.81%	2.20%
Volatility range	14.10%-77.11%	12.73%-62.28%
Weighted-average volatility	23.68%	21.53%
Expected term (years)	2.8	2.8
Weighted-average fair market value	$90.49	$74.42

The risk-free interest rates utilized for periods throughout the expected term of the PSUs are based on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security yield at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock as well as the stock of our peer firms, as shown within the volatility range above, for a period from the grant date consistent with the expected term. The expected term of PSUs is calculated based on the grant date to the end of the performance period.

As of June 30, 2016 , there were 6.4 million shares of the Company's Class B common stock available for issuance as awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.

6. Special Items

We have incurred charges or realized benefits that either we do not believe to be indicative of our core operations, or we believe are significant to our current operating results warranting separate classification.

(1)	Based on an interim impairment assessment performed during the second quarter of 2016, which was triggered by the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India on April 5, 2016, we recorded an impairment loss in the second quarter of 2016. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for additional details.

During the second quarter of 2015, we announced our decision to substantially restructure our business in China and consequently, recognized employee-related charges and asset write-off charges, including $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 .


(2)	As a result of the ongoing strategic review of our Canadian supply chain network, in October 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell our Vancouver brewery for CAD 185.0 million , with the intent to use the proceeds from the sale to help

fund the construction of an efficient and flexible brewery in British Columbia. The sale was fully completed on March 31, 2016, resulting in a $110.4 million gain, which was recorded as a special item in the first quarter of 2016. The net cash proceeds of CAD 183.1 million ( $140.8 million ), which remained in trust following the completion of the sale, were received on April 1, 2016, and are reflected as a cash inflow from investing activities on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

Further, in conjunction with the Vancouver brewery sale, we agreed to leaseback the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis, while the new brewery is being constructed, for a cost of approximately CAD 5 million per annum. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we also incurred other abandonment charges, including accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation of $1.3 million and $2.4 million , respectively, related to equipment that continues to be owned by the Company and utilized during the leaseback period to support ongoing operations. We currently plan to dispose of this equipment following the brewery closure. We expect to incur additional special charges, including estimated accelerated depreciation charges of approximately CAD 16 million , through final closure of the brewery, which is currently anticipated to occur at the end of 2018. We have evaluated this transaction pursuant to the accounting guidance for sale-leaseback transactions, and concluded that the relevant criteria had been met for full gain recognition.

Separately, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred special charges related to the closure of a bottling line within our Toronto brewery as part of an ongoing strategic review of our Canadian supply chain network, including accelerated depreciation of $7.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 .

(3)

As part of our continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred special charges associated with the closure of our Burton South, Plovdiv and Alton breweries, including $2.0 million and $3.9 million , respectively, of accelerated depreciation charges in excess of our normal depreciation associated with the Burton South brewery. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we incurred $8.0 million and $19.8 million , respectively, of accelerated depreciation in excess of our normal depreciation in addition to other costs incurred associated with the closure of the Alton brewery.

We expect to incur additional future accelerated depreciation in excess of our normal depreciation of approximately GBP 7 million related to the Burton South brewery through the third quarter of 2017. We do not expect to incur future accelerated depreciation on the Alton and Plovdiv breweries. We may recognize other charges or benefits related to these brewery closures, which cannot currently be estimated and will be recorded within special items.

(4)

In December 2013, we entered into an agreement with Heineken to early terminate our contract brewing and kegging agreement with Heineken under which we produced and packaged the Foster's and Kronenbourg brands in the U.K. As a result of the termination, Heineken agreed to pay us an aggregate early termination payment of GBP 13.0 million , of which we received GBP 5.0 million in 2014 and the remaining GBP 8.0 million on April 30, 2015. The full amount of the termination payment received ( $19.4 million upon recognition) is included as income within special items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Separately, in June 2015, we terminated our agreement with Carlsberg whereby it held the exclusive distribution rights for the Staropramen brand in the U.K. As a result of this termination, we agreed to pay Carlsberg an early termination payment of GBP 19.0 million ( $29.4 million at payment date), which was recognized as a special charge during the second quarter of 2015. The transition period concluded on December 27, 2015, and we now have the exclusive distribution rights of the Staropramen brand in the U.K.

Restructuring Activities

We have continued our ongoing assessment of our supply chain strategies across our segments in order to align with our cost saving objectives. As part of this strategic review, which began in 2014, we have started closing certain breweries including the Alton and Plovdiv breweries and the planned closures of the Vancouver and Burton South breweries. As a result of these restructuring activities, we have reduced employment levels by approximately 380 employees, of which approximately 308 and 72 relate to 2015 and 2014 restructuring programs, respectively. Consequently, we recognized severance and other employee-related charges, which we have recorded as special items within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We will continue to evaluate our supply chain network and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings, and we therefore may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future.

Table of Contents

The accrued restructuring balances represent expected future cash payments required to satisfy the remaining severance obligations to terminated employees, the majority of which we expect to be paid in the next 12 to 30 months. The table below summarizes the activity in the restructuring accruals by segment:

(1)

During the first half of 2016, we recognized amortization of commitment fees and other financing costs incurred in connection with our bridge loan agreement entered into subsequent to the announcement of the pending Acquisition of MillerCoors. In conjunction with the July 7, 2016, issuance of the 2016 Notes, as defined in Note 11, "Debt" , we terminated the bridge loan agreement and accelerated the remaining unamortized fees of approximately $24 million associated with the bridge loan to other income (expense) during the third quarter of 2016. All related financing fees ceased upon termination of the bridge loan. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion.

(2)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded unrealized losses of approximately $11.6 million related to the foreign currency forwards we entered into in the second quarter of 2016, in connection with our July 7, 2016, debt issuance as discussed within Note 11, "Debt" . See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details regarding these foreign currency forwards.

8. Income Tax

Our effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 were approximately 11% and 20% , respectively. For the first half of 2016 and 2015, our effective tax rates were approximately 11% and 19% , respectively. Our effective tax rates were significantly lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective income tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, driven by lower statutory income tax rates and tax planning impacts on statutory taxable income, as well as the impact of discrete items. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the second quarter and first half of 2016 versus 2015 , is primarily driven by tax benefits recognized from transaction-related costs resulting from the pending Acquisition, favorable tax treatment associated with the sale of the Vancouver brewery, as well as higher net discrete tax benefits in 2016. Specifically, our total net discrete tax benefit was $6.5 million and $8.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2016 , respectively, versus a $0.2 million net discrete tax expense and a $4.3 million net discrete tax benefit recognized in the second quarter and

Table of Contents

first half of 2015 , respectively. The net discrete tax benefit recognized in 2016 was primarily due to the release of certain valuation allowances.

9. Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

Basic EPS was computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the additional dilutive effect of our potentially dilutive securities, which include RSUs, DSUs, PUs, PSUs, stock options and SOSARs. The dilutive effects of our potentially dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method. The following summarizes the effect of dilutive securities on diluted EPS:

The sum of the quarterly net income per share amounts may not agree to the full year net income per share amounts. We calculate net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding shares during the period for each reporting period presented. The average number of shares fluctuates throughout the year and can therefore produce a full year result that does not agree to the sum of the individual quarters.

Class B Common Stock Equity Issuance

On February 3, 2016, we completed an underwritten public offering of our Class B common stock, which increased the number of Class B common shares issued and outstanding by 29.9 million shares. See Note 16, "Pending Acquisition" for further details.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2015, we announced that our board of directors approved and authorized a new program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our Class A and Class B common stock. During the last three quarters of 2015, we purchased approximately 2 million shares of our Class B common stock under three separate share repurchase agreements (“ASRs”) for an aggregate of approximately $150 million . We reflected each ASR as a repurchase of common stock in the period delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as forward contracts indexed to our own common stock. Each ASR met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and therefore, was not accounted for as a derivative instrument. As a result of the pending Acquisition, we suspended the share repurchase program and thus, there have been no shares of Class A or Class B common stock repurchased in 2016.

10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following summarizes the change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2016 :

(2)	The MCI goodwill impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , resulted from an interim goodwill impairment assessment for the India reporting unit performed during the second quarter of 2016, triggered by the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India on April 5, 2016.

Other	Indefinite	17.5		—			17.5
Total		$	5,087.5	$	(341.8	)	$	4,745.7

The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangibles from December 31, 2015 , to June 30, 2016 , are primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangibles are denominated in foreign currencies, as well as the definite-lived brand intangible asset impairments and the associated write-off of the gross value and accumulated amortization recorded related to certain India brands in the second quarter of 2016 as discussed below.

Based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2016 , the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows:



Fiscal year	Amount
	(In millions)
2016 - remaining	$	20.0
2017	$	29.4
2018	$	27.9
2019	$	27.9
2020	$	27.7

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $10.1 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , respectively, and $19.7 million and $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , respectively. This expense is presented within marketing, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We completed our required annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing as of October 1, 2015, the first day of our fourth quarter, and concluded there were no impairments of goodwill within our Europe, Canada or India reporting units or impairments of our indefinite-lived intangible assets. As further discussed below, we identified a triggering

Table of Contents

event in our India reporting unit in April 2016, and as a result, completed an interim impairment assessment which resulted in an impairment loss recognized in the second quarter of 2016 .

Reporting Units and Goodwill

The operations in each of the specific regions within our Canada, Europe and MCI segments are considered components based on the availability of discrete financial information and the regular review by segment management. We have concluded that the components within the Canada and Europe segments each meet the criteria as having similar economic characteristics and therefore have aggregated these components into the Canada and Europe reporting units, respectively. Additionally, we determined that the components within our MCI segment do not meet the criteria for aggregation, and therefore, the operations of our India business constitute a separate reporting unit at the component level.

Our 2015 annual goodwill impairment testing determined that while our Canada reporting unit improved from the prior year, our Europe reporting unit declined and was determined to be at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test. Specifically, the fair value of the Europe and Canada reporting units were estimated at approximately 9% and 20% in excess of carrying value, respectively, as of the October 1, 2015, testing date. The fair value of the India reporting unit was deemed to approximate the carrying value of the reporting unit due to purchase price accounting performed as of April 1, 2015, for the Mount Shivalik acquisition, which comprised the majority of the India reporting unit. In April 2016, the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in Bihar, India, triggered an interim impairment assessment for the goodwill of the India reporting unit. Refer to the India Triggering Event and Interim Impairment Assessment section below for the details regarding the interim assessment and the associated impairment charge.

Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

Our Molson core brands intangible asset continues to be at risk of future impairment with a fair value estimated at approximately 3% in excess of its carrying value as of the impairment testing date of October 1, 2015. The fair value of the Molson core brands continues to face significant competitive pressures and challenging macroeconomic conditions in the Canada market. These challenges continue to be offset by anticipated cost savings initiatives and supply chain optimization, including the monetization and optimization of our Vancouver brewery location. As of June 30, 2016 , the Molson core brands intangible had a carrying value of $2,349.0 million . The value of our other indefinite-lived intangibles continued to be sufficiently in excess of their carrying values as of the October 1, 2015, testing date.

We utilized Level 3 fair value measurements in our impairment analysis of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which utilizes an excess earnings approach to determine the fair values of the assets as of the testing date. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections based on our long range plans and include significant assumptions by management as noted below.

Key Assumptions

The Europe reporting unit goodwill and the Molson core brands intangible asset are at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in the forecasted cash flows (including prolonged, or further weakening of, adverse economic conditions or significant unfavorable changes in tax, 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, management's best estimates of the expected future results are the primary driver in determining the fair value. Current projections used for our Europe reporting unit testing reflect continued challenging environments in the future followed by growth resulting from a longer-term recovery of the macroeconomic environment, as well as the benefit of anticipated cost savings and specific brand-building and innovation activities. Our Molson core brands projections also reflect a continued challenging environment that has been adversely impacted by a weak economy across all industries, as well as weakened consumer demand driven by increased competitive pressures, partially offset by anticipated cost savings and specific brand-building and innovation activities. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume and increase in costs that could significantly impact our immediate and long-range results, a decrease in sales volume driven by a prolonged weakness in consumer demand or other competitive pressures adversely affecting our long-term volume trends, a continuation of the trend away from core brands in certain of our markets, especially in markets where our core brands represent a significant portion of the market, unfavorable working capital changes and an inability to successfully achieve our cost savings targets, (ii) adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions or an economic recovery that significantly differs from our assumptions in timing and/or degree (such as a recession or worsening of the overall European economy), (iii) volatility in the equity and debt markets or

Table of Contents

other country specific factors which could result in a higher weighted-average cost of capital, (iv) sensitivity to market multiples; and (v) regulation limiting or banning the manufacturing, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages.

Based on known facts and circumstances, we evaluate and consider other recent events and uncertain items, as well as related potential implications, as part of our annual assessment and incorporate into the analyses as appropriate. These facts and circumstances are subject to change and may impact future analyses.

While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of our reporting units in excess of carrying values in our annual impairment test, if our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future.

Definite-Lived Intangibles

Regarding definite-lived intangibles, we continuously monitor the performance of the underlying asset for potential triggering events suggesting an impairment review should be performed. Excluding the definite-lived intangible asset impairment charge associated with the triggering event which occurred in Bihar, India further discussed below, no such triggering events were identified in the first half of 2016 .

India Triggering Event and Interim Impairment Assessment

In the fourth quarter of 2015, a newly elected government in the state of Bihar, India announced plans to ban the sale of "country" liquor and to limit the sale of other forms of alcohol, such as beer, to certain government owned outlets, effective April 1, 2016. On April 5, 2016, four days after the start of the ban on "country" liquor, the government of the state of Bihar announced immediate changes to the ban, implementing a complete prohibition of the sale and consumption of all forms of alcohol. Due to this triggering event, and as the expected length of the prohibition is unclear and currently is expected to remain in effect for the foreseeable future, we have performed an interim impairment assessment for the impacted tangible assets, intangible assets and the India reporting unit goodwill. Specifically, upon identification of the triggering event we completed step one of the goodwill impairment test comparing the fair value of the India reporting unit to its carrying value using a combination of discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches, which resulted in the need to complete step two. Upon completion of step two, we recorded an impairment of tangible assets of $11.0 million and impairment of goodwill and definite-lived intangibles of $19.8 million within special items. The remaining goodwill attributable to the India reporting unit of $6.5 million , based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2016, is associated with cash flows in other states in India, where alcohol sales are not prohibited. In addition, if the facts or circumstances associated with the expected collectibility of certain Bihar receivables due from the government of $6.9 million adversely change or if future cash flows are adversely impacted relative to the projected cash flows used in the impairment analysis, we may incur additional impairment or other losses in future periods.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, we settled our interest rate swaps that were in fair value hedge accounting relationships related to these notes at which time we ceased adjusting the carrying value of the related notes for the fair value movements of these swaps and began amortizing the cumulative adjustments to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective note. At the time of settlement, cumulative adjustments to the carrying value of the notes were $0.7 million and $18.1 million related to the $300 million and $500 million notes, respectively. See Note 12 "Debt" of the Notes included in our Annual Report for additional detail.


(2)	As of June 30, 2016 , we had $18.5 million in bank overdrafts and $38.5 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $20.0 million . As of December 31, 2015 , we had $18.7 million in bank overdrafts and $39.6 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $20.9 million .


(3)	We had total outstanding borrowings of $11.6 million and $7.5 million under our two Japanese Yen ("JPY") overdraft facilities as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. In addition, we have GBP and CAD lines of credit under which we had no borrowings as of June 30, 2016 , or December 31, 2015 .

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, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including current portion) was $3,168.2 million and $2,883.4 million , 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.

In connection with the pending Acquisition announced during the fourth quarter of 2015, we entered into a 364 -day bridge loan agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The bridge loan agreement provided for a 364 -day bridge loan facility of up to $9.3 billion which was subsequently reduced to $6.8

Table of Contents

billion as a result of the net proceeds received from our equity offering in the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, in connection with the pending Acquisition, we also entered into a term loan agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent during the fourth quarter of 2015. The term loan agreement provides for total term loan commitments of $1.5 billion in a 3 -year tranche and $1.5 billion in a 5 -year tranche, for an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion .

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , $20.2 million and $38.6 million , respectively, was recorded to other income (expense) related to amortization of commitment fees as well as other financing costs associated with the bridge loan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , $1.9 million and $3.7 million , respectively, was recorded to interest expense related to amortization of issuance and other financing costs associated with the term loan. As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , there were no outstanding borrowings on the bridge loan or on the term loan.

Subsequent to June 30, 2016 , on July 7, 2016, after the issuance of the senior notes discussed below under Debt Issuance Subsequent to Quarter End , the Company terminated the bridge loan agreement, and accelerated the remaining unamortized fees of approximately $24 million associated with the bridge loan to other income (expense) during the third quarter of 2016. MCBC did not borrow any amounts under the bridge loan agreement, and no payments were due as a result of such termination. Additionally, all related financing fees ceased upon termination of the bridge loan. See Note 16, "Pending Acquisition" for further details regarding the pending Acquisition.

On July 7, 2016, MCBC issued $5.3 billion senior notes with portions maturing from July 15, 2019 through July 15, 2046 (“USD Notes”), and EUR 800.0 million senior notes maturing July 15, 2024 (“EUR Notes”), and Molson Coors International LP, a Delaware limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBC ("Molson Coors International LP"), completed a private placement of CAD 1.0 billion senior notes maturing July 15, 2023, and July 15, 2026 (“CAD Notes”), in order to partially fund the financing of the pending Acquisition (USD Notes, EUR Notes and CAD Notes, collectively, the “2016 Notes”). These issuances resulted in total proceeds of $6.9 billion , net of underwriting fees and discounts of $36.5 million and $17.7 million , respectively. Total estimated debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with these notes including underwriting fees, discounts as well as other financing related costs are $64.2 million and will be amortized over the respective terms of the 2016 Notes. The 2016 Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with semi-annual interest payments due on the USD Notes and CAD Notes in January and July beginning in 2017, and annual interest payments due on the EUR Notes in July beginning in 2017. Our 2016 Notes are subject to a special mandatory redemption in the event that (i) we do not complete the pending Acquisition on or prior to November 11, 2016 (or, if pursuant to the purchase agreement the termination date is automatically extended, the date (not later than 18 months after November 11, 2015) to which the termination date is so extended) or (ii) if, prior to such date, we notify the trustee in writing that we will not pursue the pending Acquisition. The special mandatory redemption price will be equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the issue date of the notes, up to, but excluding, the date of such special mandatory redemption. See Note 16, "Pending Acquisition" for further details regarding the pending Acquisition.

Prior to issuing the EUR Notes and the CAD Notes, we entered into foreign currency forward agreements to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure of a portion of the respective notes, which were subsequently settled on July 7, 2016, concurrent with the issuance of the 2016 Notes. Additionally, upon issuance we designated the EUR Notes as a net

investment hedge of our Europe business. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for additional information.

Other

As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , we had $750 million available to draw under our $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility, as there were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility nor was there any outstanding commercial paper. As part of our anticipated financing for the pending Acquisition, we amended our $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility during the fourth quarter of 2015, effective following the completion of the pending Acquisition to increase the maximum leverage ratio to 5.75x debt to EBITDA, with a decline to 3.75x debt to EBITDA in the fourth year following the closing of the pending Acquisition.

13. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes included in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first half of 2016 . 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. Except as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since year-end.

Derivative Activity Related to the Pending Acquisition

During the first quarter of 2016, we entered into swaption agreements with a total notional amount of $855.0 million to economically hedge a portion of our long-term debt issuance with which we expect to partially fund the pending Acquisition. We paid upfront premiums of $37.8 million for the option to enter into and exercise swaps with a forward starting effective date. These swaptions were not designated in hedge accounting relationships as the hedges were entered into in association with the pending Acquisition and, accordingly, all mark-to-market fair value adjustments were reflected within interest expense. During the second quarter of 2016, we terminated and cash settled these swaptions in anticipation of the issuance of the 2016 Notes, resulting in cash proceeds of $1.4 million .

Separately, prior to issuing the EUR Notes and the CAD Notes on July 7, 2016, we entered into foreign currency forward agreements in the second quarter of 2016 with a total notional amount of EUR 794.6 million and CAD 965.5 million , representing a majority of the anticipated net proceeds from the issuance of the respective CAD Notes and EUR Notes, to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure of the associated notes against the USD prior to issuance and to convert the

Table of Contents

proceeds to USD upon issuance through gross settlement. We settled these foreign currency forwards on July 7, 2016, resulting in a loss of $3.6 million , and received the USD necessary, along with the USD Notes, to complete our financing needs for the pending Acquisition. These foreign currency forwards were not designated in hedge accounting relationships, and, accordingly, the mark-to-market fair value adjustments and resulting unrealized losses were recorded to other income (expense) in the second quarter of 2016.

On July 7, 2016, concurrent with the issuance of the EUR Notes, we designated the principal EUR 800.0 million of the EUR Notes as a net investment hedge of our investment in our Europe business in order to hedge a portion of the related foreign currency translational impacts, and, accordingly, will record changes in the carrying value of the EUR Notes due to fluctuations in the spot rate to AOCI. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion of the EUR Notes.

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. The table below summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 .



				Fair value measurements as of June 30, 2016

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Discontinued Operations

Kaiser

In 2006, we sold our entire equity interest in our Brazilian unit, Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") to FEMSA Cerveza S.A. de C.V. ("FEMSA"). The terms of the sale agreement require us to indemnify FEMSA for certain exposures related to tax, civil and labor contingencies arising prior to FEMSA's purchase of Kaiser. In addition, we provided an indemnity to FEMSA for losses Kaiser may incur with respect to tax claims associated with certain previously utilized purchased tax credits. The discontinued operations balances within the current and non-current liabilities of our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets consist entirely of our estimates of these liabilities. These liabilities are denominated in Brazilian Reais and are therefore subject to foreign exchange gains or losses, which are recognized in the discontinued operations section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. There have been no changes in the underlying liabilities since December 31, 2015 ; therefore, all changes in the current and non-current liabilities of discontinued operations during the first half of 2016 are due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2015 , to June 30, 2016 . During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , we recognized losses of $1.8 million and $0.3 million , respectively, from discontinued operations associated with foreign exchange gains and losses related to indemnities we provided to FEMSA, and during the six months ended June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2015, we recognized losses of $2.3 million and gains of $1.6 million , respectively. Our exposure related to the tax, civil and labor indemnity claims is capped at the amount of the sales price of the 68% equity interest of Kaiser, which was $68.0 million . Separately, the maximum potential claims amount remaining for the purchased tax credits was $109.0 million , based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2016 .

Future settlement procedures and related negotiation activities associated with these contingencies are largely outside of our control. Due to the uncertainty involved with the ultimate outcome and timing of these contingencies, significant adjustments to the carrying values of the indemnity obligations have been recorded to date, and additional future adjustments may be required.

Guarantees

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, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , accounts payable and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets includes $18.8 million and $16.9 million , respectively, related to the guarantee of the indebtedness of our equity method investments. See Note 4, "Investments" for further detail. Additionally, related to our previous ownership in the Montréal Canadiens, we guarantee its obligations under a ground lease for the Bell Centre Arena (the "Ground Lease Guarantee"). Upon sale of our interest, the new owners agreed to indemnify us in connection with the liabilities we may incur under the Ground Lease Guarantee and provided us with a CAD 10 million letter

Table of Contents

of credit to guarantee such indemnity. This transaction did not materially affect our risk exposure related to the Ground Lease Guarantee, which continues to be recognized as a liability on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include $4.7 million as of June 30, 2016 , and $4.4 million as of December 31, 2015 , related to the Ground Lease Guarantee, both of which are classified as non-current.

Litigation, Other Disputes and Environmental

Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have accrued an aggregate of $12.2 million as of June 30, 2016 , and $13.1 million as of December 31, 2015 . While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for environmental and related matters in which we are currently involved, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. Further, we believe that any payments, if required, for these matters would be made over a period of time in amounts that would not be material in any one year to our results from operations, cash flows or our financial or competitive position. Additionally, we believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as noted below.

In addition to the specific cases discussed below, we are 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 discussed below, 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, first quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016, we received assessments from a local country regulatory authority related to indirect tax calculations in our Europe operations during the 41 month period prior to receipt of the most recent assessment. The aggregate amount of the assessments received is approximately $106 million , based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2016 . While we intend to vigorously challenge the validity of these assessments and defend our position regarding the method of calculation, if the assessments, as issued, are ultimately upheld, they could materially affect our results of operations. Specifically, if fully upheld, we would be required to record a charge at the high-end of the below range of loss, and this charge and on-going implications to our tax calculations would negatively impact our current and future operating income, respectively. Based on the assessments received and related impacts, we estimate a current range of loss of zero to approximately $122 million , based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2016 . We continue to apply the methodology challenged in the assessments while the regulatory appeal process remains ongoing, and, as a result, the related range of loss is expected to increase until ultimately resolved. We continue to follow the required regulatory procedures in order to proceed with our appeal of the assessments. We currently believe this appeal process will take several months to reach a formal conclusion. No provision is currently recorded for these assessments or the related range of loss.

Litigation and Other Disputes

On December 12, 2014, a notice of action captioned David Hughes and 631992 Ontario Inc. v. Liquor Control Board of Ontario ("LCBO"), Brewers Retail Inc., Labatt Breweries of Canada LP, Molson Coors Canada and Sleeman Breweries Ltd. No. CV-14-518059-00CP was filed in Ontario, Canada in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. BRI and its owners, including Molson Coors Canada, as well as the LCBO are named as defendants in the action. The plaintiffs allege that The Beer Store (retail outlets owned and operated by BRI) and LCBO improperly entered into an agreement to fix prices and market allocation within the Ontario beer market to the detriment of licensees and consumers. The plaintiffs seek to have the claim certified as a class action on behalf of all Ontario beer consumers and licensees and, among other things, damages in the amount of CAD 1.4 billion . We note that The Beer Store operates according to the rules established by the Government of Ontario for regulation, sale and distribution of beer in the province. Additionally, prices at The Beer Store are independently set by each brewer and are approved by the LCBO on a weekly basis. As such, we currently believe the claim has been made without merit, and we intend to vigorously assert and defend our rights in this lawsuit.

Environmental

Canada

Our Canada brewing operations are subject to provincial environmental regulations and local permit requirements. Our Montréal and Toronto breweries have water treatment facilities to pre-treat waste water before it goes to the respective local governmental facility for final treatment. We have environmental programs in Canada including organization, monitoring and verification, regulatory compliance, reporting, education and training, and corrective action.

We sold a chemical specialties business in 1996. We are still responsible for certain aspects of environmental remediation, undertaken or planned, at those chemical specialties business locations. We have established provisions for the costs of these remediation programs.

Table of Contents

United States

We were previously notified that we are or may be a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or similar state laws for the cleanup of sites where hazardous substances have allegedly been released into the environment. We cannot predict with certainty the total costs of cleanup, our share of the total cost, the extent to which contributions will be available from other parties, the amount of time necessary to complete the cleanups or insurance coverage.

Lowry

We are one of a number of entities named by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as a PRP at the Lowry Superfund site. This landfill is owned by the City and County of Denver ("Denver") and is managed by Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. ("Waste Management"). In 1990, we recorded a pretax charge of $30 million , a portion of which was put into a trust in 1993 as part of a settlement with Denver and Waste Management regarding the then-outstanding litigation. Our settlement was based on an assumed remediation cost of $120 million (in 1992 adjusted dollars). We are obligated to pay a portion of future costs, if any, in excess of that amount.

Waste Management provides us with updated annual cost estimates through 2032. We review these cost estimates in the assessment of our accrual related to this issue. We use certain assumptions that differ from Waste Management's estimates to assess our expected liability. Our expected liability (based on the $120 million threshold being met) is based on our best estimates available.

The assumptions used are as follows:


•	trust management costs are included in projections with regard to the $120 million threshold, but are expensed only as incurred;


•	income taxes, which we believe are not an included cost, are excluded from projections with regard to the $120 million threshold;


•	a 2.5% inflation rate for future costs; and


•	certain operations and maintenance costs were discounted using a 1.9% risk-free rate of return.

Based on these assumptions, the present value and gross amount of the costs at June 30, 2016 , are approximately $4 million and $6 million , respectively. We did not assume any future recoveries from insurance companies in the estimate of our liability, and none are expected.

Considering the estimates extend through the year 2032 and the related uncertainties at the site, including what additional remedial actions may be required by the EPA, new technologies and what costs are included in the determination of when the $120 million is reached, the estimate of our liability may change as further facts develop. We cannot predict the amount of any such change, but additional accruals in the future are possible.

Other

In prior years, we were notified by the EPA and certain state environmental divisions that we are a PRP, along with other parties, at the Cooper Drum site in southern California, the East Rutherford and Berry's Creek sites in New Jersey and the Chamblee and Smyrna sites in Georgia. Certain former non-beer business operations, which we discontinued use of and subsequently sold, were involved at these sites. Potential losses associated with these sites could increase as remediation planning progresses.

We are aware of groundwater contamination at some of our properties in Colorado resulting from historical, ongoing, or nearby activities. There may also be other contamination of which we are currently unaware.

Europe and MCI

We are subject to the requirements of governmental and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations within each of the countries in which we operate. Compliance with these laws and regulations did not materially affect our capital expenditures, results of operations or our financial or competitive position for the second quarter and first half of 2016, and we do not anticipate that they will do so during the remainder of the year.

In September 2015, the Environment Agency in the U.K. charged one of our subsidiaries with causing or contributing to a sewage fungus problem in a freshwater drain near the Alton brewery, which we closed in the second quarter of 2015. This dispute was settled in the first quarter of 2016 for an immaterial amount.

16. Pending Acquisition

On November 11, 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“ABI”) announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SABMiller. The resulting transaction (“ABI/SABMiller transaction”) is currently expected to be finalized in the second half of 2016 subject to, and contingent on, the successful closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction, which requires ABI and SABMiller shareholder approval amongst other conditions. Concurrently, on November 11, 2015, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ABI to acquire, contingent upon the closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction, all of SABMiller’s 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico for $12.0 billion in cash, subject to downward adjustment as described in the Purchase Agreement. Following the closing of the pending Acquisition, we will own 100% of the outstanding equity and voting interests of MillerCoors. Further, as we plan to elect to treat the pending Acquisition as an asset acquisition for U.S. tax purposes, we expect to receive substantial cash tax benefits for the first 15 years after completion of the pending Acquisition. The pending Acquisition is based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On March 25, 2016, we executed an amendment to the Purchase Agreement that establishes certain rights and assets that were unintentionally omitted from the Purchase Agreement and clarifies certain other items. The net $6.9 billion received from the issuance of the 2016 Notes on July 7, 2016, along with borrowings available under the term loan and the net proceeds from the February 3, 2016, equity offering are sufficient to fund the $12.0 billion purchase price of the pending Acquisition.

In connection with the pending Acquisition, on December 16, 2015, MCBC entered into a $9.3 billion , 364 -day bridge loan agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Additionally, on December 16, 2015, MCBC also entered into a $3.0 billion term loan agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. These agreements were entered into to provide the immediate funding requirements to facilitate the financial commitments in the Purchase Agreement.

Subsequently, on February 3, 2016, we received proceeds of $2.5 billion , net of issuance costs from our equity offering of 29.9 million shares of our Class B common stock. The shares issued had a par value of $0.01 per share totaling $0.3 million , and an impact to paid-in capital of $2.5 billion . The equity issuance reduced the commitment on our bridge loan agreement to $6.8 billion , which was the amount available under the bridge loan agreement as of June 30, 2016. The bridge loan agreement was terminated as a result of our July 7, 2016, issuance of the 2016 Notes in which we received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $6.9 billion , which along with our equity offering and term loan effectively completed our long-term financing requirements related to the pending Acquisition. See Note 11, "Debt" for further details and Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details regarding the swaption agreements entered into to economically hedge a portion of our interest rate exposure in anticipation of the issuance of the 2016 Notes and subsequent settlement, as well as the net investment hedge designation on our EUR senior notes and the foreign currency forwards entered into in conjunction with the July 7, 2016, CAD and EUR debt issuances.

Additionally, in order to maximize the yield on the cash received from the equity issuance, while maintaining the ability to readily access these funds, MCBC has strategically invested the proceeds in various fixed rate deposit and money market accounts with terms of one month or less as of June 30, 2016. We have similarly invested a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2016 Notes in the third quarter of 2016.

Related to the pending Acquisition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we have recorded $19.6 million and $34.5 million , respectively, of transaction related costs within marketing, general and administrative expenses, $31.8 million and $50.2 million , respectively, of derivative losses and financing costs related to our bridge loan within other income (expense), and $13.3 million and $33.7 million , respectively, of financing costs related to our term loan, losses on our swaptions, and interest income related to our fixed rate deposit and money market accounts within interest income (expense) net.

Total cash paid included within cash flows from operating activities related to the pending Acquisition was $51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 .

At this time, we anticipate the pending Acquisition will close in the second half of 2016, subject to, and contingent on, the successful closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction. As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in that transaction, including delay or a failure to consummate the ABI/SABMiller transaction, for reasons outside of our control.

17. Supplemental Guarantor Information

For purposes of this Note 17 , including the tables, "Parent Guarantor and 2012 Issuer" shall mean MCBC. "Subsidiary Guarantors" shall mean certain Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries reflecting the substantial operations of each of our Canada and U.S. segments.

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, $500 million 3.5% senior notes due 2022, and $1.1 billion 5.0% senior notes due 2042. These senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, and, no later than 30 days after the consummation of the pending Acquisition, are required to be guaranteed by MillerCoors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Guarantor. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

Additionally, on July 7, 2016, MCBC issued the USD Notes and the EUR Notes, in a registered public offering, as detailed within Note 11, "Debt" . Both the USD Notes and EUR Notes are also guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Guarantor, and, no later than 30 days after the consummation of the pending Acquisition, the USD Notes and EUR Notes are required to be guaranteed by MillerCoors. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

None of our other outstanding debt is publicly registered, and such other outstanding debt is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantors, and, no later than 30 days after the consummation of the pending Acquisition, are required to be guaranteed by MillerCoors. This includes the privately placed CAD Notes issued by Molson Coors International LP on July 7, 2016. These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. See Note 11, "Debt" for details of all debt issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2016 .

Presentation

In conjunction with the issuance of the 2016 Notes, and as disclosed within Exhibit 99.1 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2016, we released Molson Coors Brewing Company (U.K.) Limited, our primary U.K. operating entity, Golden Acquisition and Molson Coors Holdings Limited as subsidiary guarantors of our existing and future debt obligations, as evidenced by the supplemental indentures dated May 13, 2016. Accordingly, the 2015 financial information included below has been recast to reflect the release of these entities as subsidiary guarantors.

The following information sets forth the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , and unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 . Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Guarantor 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") in this 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, 2015 ("Annual Report"), as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q. Due to the seasonality of our operating results, quarterly financial results are not an appropriate basis from which to project annual results.

Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$") and comparisons are to comparable prior periods. Our primary operating currencies, other than USD, include the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"), the British Pound ("GBP"), and our Central European operating currencies such as the Euro ("EUR"), Czech Koruna ("CZK"), Croatian Kuna ("HRK") and Serbian Dinar ("RSD").

Operational Measures

We have certain operational measures, such as sales-to-wholesalers (“STWs”) and sales-to-retailers (“STRs”), which we believe are important metrics. STW is a metric that we use in our U.S. 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 Canada and U.S. businesses 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.

Pending Acquisition

On November 11, 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (“ABI”) announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire SABMiller plc (“SABMiller”). The resulting transaction (“ABI/SABMiller transaction”) is expected to be finalized in the second half of 2016 subject to, and contingent on, the successful closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction, which requires ABI and SABMiller shareholder approval amongst other conditions. As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in that transaction, including delay or a failure to consummate the ABI/SABMiller transaction, for reasons outside of our control. Concurrently, on November 11, 2015, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with ABI to acquire, contingent upon the closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction, all of SABMiller’s 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico for $12.0 billion in cash, subject to downward adjustment as described in the Purchase Agreement (the "Acquisition"). Following the closing of the pending Acquisition, we will own 100% of the outstanding equity and voting interests of MillerCoors. The pending Acquisition is based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On March 25, 2016, we executed an amendment to the Purchase Agreement that establishes certain rights and assets that were unintentionally omitted from the Purchase Agreement and clarifies certain other items.

Under the Purchase Agreement, we will retain the rights to all of the brands currently in the MillerCoors portfolio for the U.S. and Puerto Rican markets, including import brands such as Peroni and Pilsner Urquell , as well as full ownership of the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Additionally, in consolidating control of MillerCoors, we expect we will further improve our scale and agility, benefit from significantly enhanced cash flows, and capture substantial operational synergies. The purchase of the Miller brand trademarks outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico provides a strategic opportunity to leverage the iconic Miller trademark globally alongside Molson Coors’ trademarks for Coors and Staropramen, and presents volume and profit growth opportunities for Molson Coors in both core markets, as well as emerging markets.

On July 7, 2016, MCBC issued $5.3 billion senior notes with portions maturing from July 15, 2019, through July 15, 2046 (“USD Notes”), and EUR 800.0 million senior notes maturing July 15, 2024 (“EUR Notes”), and Molson Coors International LP, a Delaware limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBC, completed a private placement of

Table of Contents

CAD 1.0 billion senior notes maturing July 15, 2023, and July 15, 2026 (“CAD Notes”), in order to partially fund the financing of the pending Acquisition (USD Notes, EUR Notes and CAD Notes, collectively, the “2016 Notes”).

We expect to fund the pending Acquisition through cash on hand, including proceeds received from our first quarter 2016 equity issuance, and our 2016 Notes issuance on July 7, 2016, as well as borrowings on our term loan which we expect to draw on upon close of the pending Acquisition. Further, as we plan to elect to treat the pending Acquisition as an asset acquisition for U.S. tax purposes, we expect to receive substantial cash tax benefits for the first 15 years after completion of the pending Acquisition. At this time, we anticipate the pending Acquisition will close in the second half of 2016, subject to, and contingent on, the successful closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction. As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in that transaction, including delay or a failure to consummate the ABI/SABMiller transaction, for reasons outside of our control.

Executive Summary

We are one of the world's largest brewers and have a diverse portfolio of owned and partner brands, including core brands Carling , Coors Light , Molson Canadian and Staropramen , as well as craft and specialty beers such as Blue Moon , Creemore Springs , Cobra and Doom Bar . With centuries of brewing heritage, we have been crafting high-quality, innovative products with the purpose of delighting the world's beer drinkers and with the goal to be the first choice for our consumers and customers. Our success depends on our ability to make our products available to meet a wide range of consumer segments and occasions.

Summary of Consolidated Results of Operations:

The following table highlights summarized components of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 . See Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements for additional details of our U.S. GAAP results.



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2016		June 30, 2015		% change		June 30, 2016		June 30, 2015		% change

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights:

During the second quarter of 2016 , we recognized net income from continuing operations attributable to MCBC of $174.1 million , or $0.81 per diluted share, representing a decrease of $55.2 million , or 24.1% , versus the prior year. The decrease is the result of higher marketing, general and administrative ("MG&A") expenses, other expense as well as interest expense driven by costs incurred related to the pending Acquisition, which were partially offset by lower cost of goods sold resulting from gains on our commodity hedges recorded in the second quarter of 2016. Specifically, in the second quarter of 2016, we recorded costs associated with the pending Acquisition of $19.6 million within MG&A, $31.8 million within other income (expense), and $13.3 million within interest expense, net. Additionally, net income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2016 includes $34.5 million of special charges, primarily related to asset impairment charges associated with the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India, compared to special charges of $33.7 million recorded in the prior year primarily related to costs incurred on the closure of our Alton brewery and bottling line within our Toronto brewery, as well as net termination fee charges as further discussed below.

Table of Contents

Net sales of $986.2 million decreased $19.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $1,005.7 million in the prior year driven by foreign currency movements which had a negative impact of $38.7 million , as well as lower volumes in all segments except Europe. Specifically, in addition to increased volumes, our Europe segment had an overall favorable sales mix that partially offset the decrease in global net sales. During the second quarter of 2016, we continued to focus on building our brand strength and transforming our portfolio toward the above premium, flavored malt beverages, craft and cider segments. Further, we continued to focus on generating higher returns on our invested capital, managing our working capital and delivering a greater return on investment for our shareholders. Additionally, in relation to the pending Acquisition, we have further progressed our integration planning during the second quarter of 2016 and, subsequent to quarter end, successfully issued long-term debt for total net proceeds of approximately $6.9 billion . These proceeds, along with borrowings available under the term loan and the net proceeds from the February 3, 2016, equity offering are sufficient to fund the $12.0 billion purchase price of the pending Acquisition.

Regional financial highlights:


•	In our Canada segment, income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by 16.6% to $88.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year, driven by incremental brand investment and input cost inflation, partially offset by the results of cost savings initiatives.

•

In our U.S. segment, equity income decreased 6.6% to $191.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the timing of shipments due to calendar shifts and higher special charges of $16.5 million , due to the planned closure of the Eden, North Carolina, brewery slightly offset by lower costs of goods sold, higher net pricing and positive sales mix. Additionally, our U.S. segment equity income in the second quarter of 2016 benefited from an $11.1 million benefit of Coors Brewing Company ("CBC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Molson Coors, associated with an anticipated refund of U.S. federal excise tax paid on products imported by CBC based on qualifying volumes exported from the U.S. by CBC.

•

In our Europe segment, income from continuing operations before income taxes increased by 20.4% to $59.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the prior year, primarily driven by lower special charges and higher sales volume, including the addition of the Staropramen and Rekorderlig brands in the U.K., partially offset by higher brand investments, amortization expense and a lower net pension benefit along with unfavorable foreign currency movements. In the second quarter of 2016, we incurred special charges associated with the closure of our Burton South, Plovdiv and Alton breweries, including $2.0 million of accelerated depreciation on the Burton South brewery. This compared to the second quarter of 2015, in which we recognized special charges related to the closure of the Alton brewery in the U.K., including accelerated depreciation of $8.0 million , as well as net termination charges of $10.0 million including fees incurred to terminate our contract with Carlsberg to obtain the full exclusive distribution rights of the Staropramen brand in the U.K., partially offset by the termination fee income recorded from our agreement with Heineken to early terminate a contract brewing and kegging agreement.

•

Our MCI segment reported a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $33.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $12.2 million in the prior year, primarily driven by higher special charges recorded as a result of the $30.8 million impairment of certain tangible and intangible assets resulting from the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India, during the second quarter of 2016, compared to $6.4 million of special charges recorded in the prior year related to the substantial restructuring in China. This loss was partially offset by volume growth in Latin America and Japan, favorable mix, and lower price promotion and overhead expenses due to the restructure of our China business last year, which resulted in a $3.6 million price promotion expense in the second quarter of 2015.

See "Results of Operations" below for further analysis of our segment results.

Core brand highlights:


•	Volume for Carling , the number one beer brand in the U.K. and the largest brand in our Europe segment, decreased by 1.4% during the second quarter of 2016, due to continued decline in the mainstream lager market; however, the brand gained share within its segment compared to the prior year.

Table of Contents

•

Coors Light global volume (including our proportionate percentage of MillerCoors' Coors Light volumes) increased during the second quarter of 2016 by 4.1% versus the second quarter of 2015. The overall volume increase in the second quarter of 2016 was driven by higher volumes in Europe and MCI, slightly offset by lower volumes in Canada. Volumes in the U.S. were slightly higher than prior year when excluding Coors Light Citrus Radler, which was discontinued in the second half of the prior year. The declines in Canada are the result of ongoing competitive pressures as well as a shift in preference to value brands in Alberta resulting from a weaker economy; however, our new packaging, advertising and in-pack sales promotions are driving improved consumer purchase intent and other brand health scores.


•	Molson Canadian volume in Canada decreased by 1.8% during the second quarter of 2016 versus the prior year, primarily driven by challenging economic conditions and competitive pressures in Alberta.


•	Staropramen volume, including royalty volume, decreased by 5.5% during the second quarter of 2016, versus the second quarter of 2015, driven by lower volumes in Czech Republic as well as Ukraine.

Worldwide beer volume

Worldwide beer volume (including adjacencies, such as cider) is comprised of our financial volume, royalty volume and proportionate share of equity investment STRs. Financial volume represents owned beer brands sold to unrelated external customers within our geographical markets, net of returns and allowances. Royalty beer volume consists of our brands produced and sold by third parties under various license and contract-brewing agreements. Equity investment STR brand volume represents our ownership percentage share of volume in our subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method, including MillerCoors.

The following table highlights summarized components of our worldwide beer volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 .

Our worldwide beer volume decreased 0.8% and was flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year due to lower volume in all segments with the exception of Europe, which almost fully offset the lower volume on a year-to-date basis.

Income taxes

Our effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 were approximately 11% and 20% , respectively. For the first half of 2016 and 2015, our effective tax rates were approximately 11% and 19% , respectively. Our effective tax rates were significantly lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective income tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, driven by lower statutory income tax rates and tax planning impacts on statutory taxable income, as well as discrete items. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the second quarter and first half of 2016 versus 2015 is primarily driven by tax benefits recognized from transaction-related costs resulting from the pending Acquisition, favorable tax treatment associated with the sale of the Vancouver brewery, as well as higher net discrete tax benefits in 2016. Specifically, our total net discrete tax benefit was $6.5 million and $8.3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2016 , respectively, versus a $0.2 million net discrete tax expense and a $4.3 million net discrete tax benefit recognized in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively. The net discrete tax benefit recognized in 2016 was primarily due to the release of certain valuation allowances.

Our tax rate is volatile and may move up or down with changes in, among other things, the amount and source of income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, 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 in which we do business that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate. For example, on April 4, 2016, the United States Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released proposed regulations (REG-108060-15) under Section 385 (the “Proposed Regulations”) which provide rules addressing whether certain related-party debt instruments would be treated as equity rather than debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Proposed Regulations have not been finalized and are subject to change. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our future effective tax rate if the Proposed Regulations are issued as final. Additionally, the pending Acquisition, if completed, is expected to increase our effective tax rate.

Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations are associated with the formerly-owned Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") business in Brazil. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussions of the nature of amounts recognized in discontinued operations, which consist of amounts associated with indemnity obligations to FEMSA Cerveza S.A. de C.V. ("FEMSA") related to purchased tax credits and other tax, civil and labor issues.

Significant events

We continued our ongoing assessment of our supply chain strategies in order to align with our cost saving objectives. As part of this process, in October 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell our Vancouver brewery for CAD 185.0 million , with the intent to use the proceeds from the sale to help fund the construction of an efficient and flexible brewery in British Columbia. We believe the decision to sell the brewery will help optimize the western Canada brewery network and allow for greater flexibility and future cost savings. The sale was fully completed on March 31, 2016, resulting in a $110.4 million gain on sale, which was recorded as a special item in the first quarter of 2016. The net cash proceeds of CAD 183.1 million ( $140.8 million ), which remained in trust following the completion of the sale, were received on April 1, 2016. Separately, during the second quarter of 2016, we reached an agreement to purchase land in British Columbia for the site of the new brewery. The land purchase is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2016.

Further, in conjunction with the sale of the Vancouver brewery, we agreed to leaseback the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis while the new brewery is being constructed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we also incurred other abandonment charges, including accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation of $1.3 million and $2.4 million , respectively, related to equipment that continues to be owned by the Company and utilized during the leaseback period to support ongoing operations. We currently plan to dispose of this equipment following the brewery closure. We expect to incur additional special charges, including estimated accelerated depreciation charges of approximately CAD 16 million , through final closure of the brewery, which is currently anticipated to occur at the end of 2018. The ongoing costs of leasing the existing facility through the estimated closure date will be approximately CAD 5 million per annum. We also expect to incur significant capital expenditures associated with the construction of the new brewery, most of which we expect to be funded with the proceeds from the sale of the Vancouver brewery.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we entered into an agreement with Miller Brewing Company ("Miller") for the accelerated termination of our license agreement, effective March 2015, under which we had exclusive rights to distribute certain Miller products in Canada. As a result, beginning in the second quarter of 2015, we no longer distribute the Miller brands in Canada, which has adversely impacted our volume and sales prospectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we recognized net sales under this agreement of $11.5 million . The pending Acquisition, if completed, would result in the return of these Miller brands to our Canada business.

Foreign currency impact on results

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 , the CAD depreciated versus the USD on an average basis, resulting in a decrease of $1.9 million to our USD earnings before income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the CAD also depreciated versus the USD on an average basis, resulting in a decrease of $8.4 million to our USD earnings before income taxes. Included in these amounts are both translational and transactional impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates. The impact of transaction gains and losses is recorded within other income (expense) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Volume and net sales

Our Canada STRs decreased 0.1% and 2.3% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, versus prior year, primarily due to increased competitor trade spending and pricing activities, as well as weak economic conditions in Alberta, partially offset by favorable timing of the Canada Day holiday. The decrease in STRs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , were also driven by the termination of our Miller brand license agreement.

Our net sales per hectoliter increased 1.2% and 0.3% in local currency during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, driven by positive pricing. Net sales per hectoliter for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , was partially offset by negative mix.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold per hectoliter in local currency increased 6.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, versus prior year, due to input cost inflation, in pack promotions, foreign currency movements and impacts from volume deleverage, partially offset by ongoing cost savings initiatives. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter decreased 0.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , versus prior year, primarily due to a temporary reduction in distribution costs, lower pension expense, along with the effects of our ongoing cost saving initiatives, partially offset by the factors discussed above.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Our marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 9.2% and 4.7% in local currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, driven by higher brand investments, partially offset by lower overhead costs.

Represents an $11.1 million benefit associated with an anticipated refund to CBC of U.S. federal excise tax paid on products imported by CBC based on qualifying volumes exported by CBC from the U.S. Due to administrative restrictions outlined within the legislation enacted in 2016, the anticipated refund is not expected to be received until 2018. Accordingly, the anticipated refund amount represents a non-current receivable which has been recorded within other non-current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 .

Significant events

During the third quarter of 2015, MillerCoors announced plans to close its brewery in Eden, North Carolina, in an effort to optimize the brewery footprint and streamline operations for greater efficiencies. Products currently produced in Eden will be transitioned to other breweries in the MillerCoors network and the Eden brewery is anticipated to be closed in September 2016. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , MillerCoors recognized $33.0 million and $68.9 million , respectively, of accelerated depreciation charges and $6.4 million and $7.4 million of other charges, respectively. MillerCoors will continue to incur special charges throughout 2016 related to the planned closure of the brewery. Total special charges associated with the planned Eden closure are expected to be approximately $150 million to $200 million, of which $144 million have been incurred through June 30, 2016 , consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation. However, this estimated range contains significant uncertainty, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates due to uncertainty regarding the ultimate net cost associated with the disposition of assets, restructuring charges, contract termination costs, and other costs associated with the planned closure.

Volume and net sales

MillerCoors domestic STRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , declined 1.7% and 1.6%, respectively, on a trading-day-adjusted basis compared to prior year. Domestic STWs decreased 4.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to prior year, driven by year-over-year calendar shifts. Domestic STWs decreased 1.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to prior year.

Domestic net sales per hectoliter, which excludes contract brewing and company-owned distributor sales, increased 0.7% and 1.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year due to favorable net pricing and positive sales mix. Total net sales per hectoliter, including contract brewing and company-owned distributor sales, increased 0.6% and 0.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year. Contract brewing volumes decreased 1.3% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold per hectoliter decreased 1.3% and 3.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, driven by lower aluminum and fuel pricing, along with supply chain costs savings, partially offset by brewery inflation and lower fixed-cost absorption due to lower volumes.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 1.8% and 3.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year. The three month period increase was driven primarily by higher marketing investment and higher employee-related expenses, and the six month period increase was driven primarily by information technology investments.

Other information

MillerCoors recognized $116.0 million and $233.1 million of depreciation and amortization during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to $77.4 million and $154.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. The charges incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , include the accelerated depreciation related to the planned closure of the Eden brewery discussed above.

MillerCoors delivered incremental cost savings of approximately $40 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , primarily related to brewery efficiencies and procurement savings. We benefit from 42% of the MillerCoors cost savings due to our proportionate equity investment in MillerCoors.

MillerCoors distributes its excess cash to its owners, SABMiller and MCBC, on a 58%/42% basis, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , MillerCoors had cash of $16.2 million and $15.6 million , respectively. MillerCoors had total debt of $2.0 million as of both June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 . There are no restrictions from external sources on its ability to make cash distributions to its owners.

MillerCoors contributed $68.3 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2016 . For 2016 , MillerCoors' contributions to its defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $90 million to $110 million (our 42% share is approximately $38 million to $46 million ), which are not included in our contractual cash obligations.

Significant events

As part of our continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we incurred special charges associated with the closure of our Burton South, Plovdiv and Alton Breweries, including $2.0 million and $3.9 million , respectively, of accelerated depreciation charges in excess of our normal depreciation associated with the Burton South brewery. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we incurred $8.0 million and $19.8 million , respectively, of accelerated depreciation in excess of our normal depreciation in addition to other costs incurred associated with the Alton brewery.

During the first quarter of 2016, first quarter of 2015 and fourth quarter of 2014, we received assessments from a local country regulatory authority in Europe related to indirect tax calculations. While we intend to vigorously challenge the validity of the assessments and defend our position, if the assessments, as issued, are ultimately upheld, they could materially affect our results of operations. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.

Table of Contents

In the second quarter of 2015, we terminated our agreement with Carlsberg whereby it held the exclusive distribution rights for the Staropramen brand in the U.K. This gave us the exclusive distribution rights for the Staropramen brand in the U.K. by the end of 2015. Additionally, the termination of our contract brewing arrangement with Heineken in the U.K. became effective at the end of April 2015. Related to these contract terminations, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we recorded net termination fees of $10.0 million within special items, net. To lessen the impact of the lost revenue associated with the Heineken contract, we closed certain breweries as noted above. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2015, we sold our U.K. malting facility and purchased the Rekorderlig cider brand distribution rights in the U.K. and Ireland.

Foreign currency impact on results

Our Europe segment operates in numerous countries within Europe, and each country's operations utilize distinct currencies. Foreign currency movements unfavorably impacted our Europe USD income from continuing operations before income taxes by $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . Included in these amounts are both translational and transactional impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates. The impact of transactional gains and losses is recorded within other income (expense) in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, as a result of the referendum held on June 23, 2016, in which a majority of voters in the U.K. voted in favor of the U.K. leaving the European Union, the GBP had weakened as of June 30, 2016 , and subsequently continues to be volatile. Any significant weakening of the GBP to the USD will have an adverse impact on our European revenues as reported in USD due to the importance of U.K. sales.

Volume and net sales

Europe sales volume increased by 1.6% and 3.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, versus prior year, driven mainly by volume growth in the U.K. as well as the addition of the Staropramen and Rekorderlig brands.

Net sales per hectoliter increased in local currency by 1.3% and 0.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, primarily driven by positive brand and geographic mix, partially offset by negative net pricing. The increase in net sales per hectoliter for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , was also partially offset by lower contract brewing volume.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold per hectoliter increased 2.2% and 1.7% in local currency in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , versus prior year, driven by mix shift to higher-cost brands and geographies as well as a lower net pension benefit.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 6.0% and 5.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , in local currency, compared to prior year, driven by higher marketing investments and brand amortization expenses.

Significant events

In the fourth quarter of 2015, a newly elected government in the state of Bihar, India, announced plans to ban the sale of "country" liquor and to limit the sale of other forms of alcohol, such as beer, to certain government owned outlets, effective April 1, 2016. On April 5, 2016, four days after the start of the ban on "country" liquor, the government of the state of Bihar announced immediate changes to the ban, implementing a complete prohibition of the sale and consumption of all forms of alcohol. Due to this triggering event, and as the expected length of the prohibition is unclear and currently is expected to remain in effect for the foreseeable future, we have performed an interim impairment assessment for the impacted tangible assets, intangible assets and the India reporting unit goodwill. Specifically, upon identification of the triggering event, we completed step one of the goodwill impairment test comparing the fair value of the India reporting unit to its carrying value using a combination of discounted cash flow analyses and market approaches, which resulted in the need to complete step two. Upon completion of step two, we recorded an impairment of tangible assets of $11.0 million and impairment of goodwill and definite-lived intangibles of $19.8 million within special items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The remaining goodwill attributable to the India reporting unit of $6.5 million , based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2016, is associated with cash flows in other states in India, where alcohol sales are not prohibited. In addition, if the facts or circumstances associated with the expected collectibility of certain Bihar receivables due from the government of $6.9 million adversely change or if future cash flows are adversely impacted relative to the projected cash flows used in the impairment analysis we may incur additional impairment or other losses in future periods.

Foreign currency impact on results

Our MCI segment operates in numerous countries around the world, and each country's operations utilize distinct currencies. Foreign currency movements favorably impacted MCI's USD loss before income taxes by $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. Included in these 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.

Volume and net sales

Including royalty volumes, MCI total volume decreased 9.3% and 5.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, primarily due to the enactment of total alcohol prohibition implemented in the state of Bihar, India, the repatriation of our U.K. Staropramen rights to our European segment along with the substantial restructure of our business in China. This decrease was partially offset by volume growth in Latin America, including our launch in Colombia, as well as volume growth in Japan.

Net sales per hectoliter increased 42.5% and 27.7% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, primarily due to favorable sales mix changes. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2016, is also driven by the recognition of price promotion expenses related to the substantial restructure of our business in China in the second quarter of 2015.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold per hectoliter increased 25.5% and 19.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, primarily driven by sales mix changes.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 3.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to prior year, driven by higher brand investments. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased 4.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to prior year, driven by lower overhead costs primarily related to the substantial restructure of our business in China, partially offset by higher brand investments.

Significant events

In connection with the pending Acquisition, we have, and will continue to incur various transaction and financing costs as further discussed below. See

Note 16, "Pending Acquisition" for further details.

Cost of goods sold

The unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps, which are economic hedges, are recorded as cost of goods sold within our Corporate business activities. As the exposure we are managing is realized, we reclassify the gain or loss to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides, allowing our segments to realize the economic effects of the derivative without the resulting unrealized mark-to-market volatility. The amounts included for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , include the unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on these commodity swaps.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 80.5% and 77.9% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to prior year, primarily due to transaction costs associated with the pending Acquisition of $19.6 million and $34.5 million , respectively.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense increased 31.0% to $41.4 million and 44.8% to $89.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the realized loss recorded on our swaption and other net interest costs associated with the pending Acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, of $13.3 million and $33.7 million , respectively. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and Note 11, "Debt" for further details.

Other income (expense), net

The increase in other income (expense), net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to prior year, is primarily driven by $31.8 million and $50.2 million , respectively, of financing costs incurred on our bridge loan and

unrealized losses on foreign currency forwards which are economic hedges entered into during the second quarter of 2016 in connection with the issuance of our 2016 Notes on July 7, 2016. See

Note 7, "Other Income and Expense" , Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and Note 11, "Debt" for further details.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we issued and sold equity securities as further discussed below and on July 7, 2016, we issued our 2016 Notes, both to fund a portion of the $12.0 billion pending Acquisition, as well as the related transaction costs. See below for additional information on the pending Acquisition.

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash provided by operating activities and access to external borrowings. We believe that cash flows from operations, including distributions from MillerCoors, and cash provided by short-term and long-term borrowings, when necessary, will be more than adequate to meet our ongoing operating requirements, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt, anticipated dividend payments, potential stock repurchases and capital expenditures for the next twelve months, and our long-term liquidity requirements. However, the long-term liquidity requirements of our 2016 Notes are dependent upon the successful close of the pending Acquisition. If the pending Acquisition does not occur, these senior notes are subject to a special mandatory redemption as discussed below.

A significant portion of our trade receivables are concentrated in Europe. While these receivables are not concentrated in any specific customer and our allowance on these receivables factors in collectibility, we may encounter difficulties in our ability to collect due to the impact to our customers of any further economic downturn within Europe.

A significant portion of our cash flows from operating activities are generated outside the U.S. in currencies other than USD. As of June 30, 2016 , approximately 11% of our cash and cash equivalents were located outside the U.S., largely denominated in foreign currencies. Most of the amounts held outside of the U.S. could be repatriated to the U.S. but under current law would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. We accrue for U.S. federal and state 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 for U.S. federal and state tax consequences. 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. These strategies are continually reviewed and may be impacted by proposed or pending tax law changes. For example, on April 4, 2016, the United States Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service released proposed regulations (REG-108060-15) under Section 385 (the “Proposed Regulations”), which provide rules addressing whether certain related-party debt instruments should be treated as equity rather than debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Proposed Regulations have not been finalized and are subject to change. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on the Company, including potential impacts on our ability to access cash in a tax efficient manner, if the Proposed Regulations are issued as final. We periodically review and evaluate these strategies, including external committed and non-committed credit agreements accessible by MCBC and each of our operating subsidiaries. These financing arrangements, along with the distributions received from MillerCoors, are sufficient to fund our current cash needs in the U.S.

Net Working Capital

As of June 30, 2016 , December 31, 2015 , and June 30, 2015 , we had debt-free net working capital of $2,750.1 million , $70.3 million and negative $42.3 million , respectively. Short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt are excluded from net working capital, as they are not reflective of the ongoing operational requirements of the business. The levels of working capital required to run our business fluctuate with the seasonality in our business. Our working capital is also sensitive to foreign exchange rates, as a significant portion of our current assets and current liabilities are denominated in either CAD or our European operating currencies such as, but not limited to, Euro, British Pound, Czech Koruna, Croatian Kuna, Serbian Dinar, New Romanian Leu, Bulgarian Lev and Hungarian Forint, while financial results are reported in USD. While we continue to work towards improving our working capital, we may be unable to maintain these working capital benefits in the long term. Below is a table outlining our current and historical net working capital levels:

Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of the authoritative guidance requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the related debt. Separately, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we prospectively adopted authoritative guidance requiring all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to be presented as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. Because we adopted this guidance prospectively, the prior period balances have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to reflect current and non-current classification as historically presented. See Note 2 of the Notes included in our Annual Report for further discussion on the adoption of these pronouncements.

The increase in net working capital from December 31, 2015 , to June 30, 2016 , and from June 30, 2015 , to June 30, 2016 , is primarily related to an overall increase in cash balances resulting from the approximate $2.5 billion of net proceeds received from our February 3, 2016, equity offering as further described below.

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 as well as the additional risk factor discussed in Part II—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" within this Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $264.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to $198.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase of $66.3 million was driven by higher cash paid for pension contributions in 2015, including a $227.1 million discretionary payment to our U.K. pension plan, partially offset by higher cash paid for taxes, from a $38.8 million tax payment related to the pending Acquisition, higher cash paid for interest as a result of a net $36.4 million premium payment on our swaptions related to the pending Acquisition, as well as lower net income adjusted for non-cash add backs in the first half of 2016.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $60.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , decreased by $197.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 , driven primarily by the receipt of CAD 183.1 million ( $140.8 million ) of proceeds from the sale of our Vancouver brewery during the first half of 2016, as well as the cash outflows during the first half of 2015 related to our acquisition of Mount Shivalik. This decrease was partially offset by higher net investments in MillerCoors.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,356.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , compared to net cash used in financing activities of $124.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . This increase was driven primarily by the approximate $2.5 billion of net proceeds received from our February 3, 2016, equity offering of 29.9 million shares of our Class B common stock to partially fund the pending Acquisition. Additionally, we paid $50.1 million to repurchase shares of our Class B common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . We did not have any stock repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2016 . We also had lower net overdraft payments on our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool of approximately $36 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

This increase was partially offset by the increase to our dividends paid of $24.2 million related to the incremental shares outstanding resulting from our February 3, 2016, equity offering, lower proceeds received from the exercise of stock options of $23.2 million , as well as $15.0 million of debt issuance costs related to our financing of the pending Acquisition, and by $67.2 million of proceeds from our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper during the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 30, 2016 , we had total cash and cash equivalents of $2,990.3 million , compared to $430.9 million at December 31, 2015 , and $413.8 million at June 30, 2015 . The increase in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 , from December 31, 2015 , was primarily driven by the approximate $2.5 billion of net proceeds from our February 3, 2016, equity offering of 29.9 million shares of our Class B common stock related to the pending Acquisition. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we received approximately $6.9 billion of net proceeds from the issuance of the 2016 Notes on July 7, 2016, thus, these proceeds are not included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016. The net proceeds received from the issuance of the 2016 Notes, along with borrowings available under the term loan and the net proceeds from the February 3, 2016, equity offering are sufficient to fund the $12.0 billion purchase price of the pending Acquisition.

Table of Contents

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested in a variety of highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. These investments are viewed by management as low-risk investments and on which there are little to no restrictions regarding our ability to access the underlying cash to fund our operations as necessary. We also utilize cash pooling arrangements to facilitate the access to cash across our geographies. Additionally, in order to maximize the yield on the cash received from the equity issuance, while maintaining the ability to readily access these funds, MCBC has strategically invested the proceeds in various fixed rate deposit and money market accounts with terms of one month or less as of June 30, 2016. We have similarly invested a portion of the proceeds received from our July 7, 2016, debt issuance in the third quarter of 2016.

Borrowings

On July 7, 2016, MCBC issued the 2016 Notes in order to partially fund the financing of the pending Acquisition. This issuance resulted in total proceeds of approximately $6.9 billion , net of underwriting fees and discounts of $36.5 million and $17.7 million , respectively. Total estimated amounts capitalized in connection with the 2016 Notes, including underwriting fees, discounts as well as other financing related costs, were $64.2 million and will be amortized over the terms of the 2016 Notes. The 2016 Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with semi-annual payments due on the USD Notes and CAD Notes in January and July beginning in 2017, and annual payments on our EUR Notes beginning July 2017. Our 2016 Notes are subject to a special mandatory redemption in the event that (i) we do not complete the pending Acquisition on or prior to November 11, 2016 (or, if pursuant to the purchase agreement the termination date is automatically extended, the date (not later than 18 months after November 11, 2015) to which the termination date is so extended) or (ii) if, prior to such date, we notify the trustee in writing that we will not pursue the pending Acquisition. The special mandatory redemption price will be equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the issue date of the 2016 Notes, up to, but excluding, the date of such special mandatory redemption.

As a result of the issuance of our 2016 Notes, we have terminated our outstanding 364 -day bridge loan agreement concurrent with the receipt of these proceeds. We also have a term loan agreement to partially fund the pending Acquisition that provides for access to a total term loan commitment of up to $1.5 billion in a 3 -year tranche and up to $1.5 billion in a 5 -year tranche, for an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.0 billion . We had not drawn on the bridge loan or the term loan as of June 30, 2016 .

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2016 , consisted of fixed-rate senior notes, with maturities ranging from 2017 to 2042. We also hold short-term borrowings primarily related to overdrafts on our cross-border cross-currency cash pool arrangement and overdraft facilities. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details of our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 .

Based on the credit profile of our lenders that are party to our credit facilities, we are confident in our ability to draw on our term loan agreement, as required upon close of the pending Acquisition, and on our $750 million revolving credit facility if the need arises. There were no outstanding borrowings under our $750 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2016 . As we had no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2016 , under our commercial paper program, we have $750 million available to draw on under this revolving credit facility. We also have Japanese Yen ("JPY") overdraft facilities, CAD and British Pound ("GBP") lines of credit with several banks should we need additional short-term liquidity. We also currently utilize and will further utilize our cross-border, cross currency cash pool as well as our commercial paper program for liquidity needs after this revolving credit facility expires in 2019.

Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include restrictions on priority indebtedness (certain threshold percentages of secured consolidated net tangible assets), leverage thresholds, liens, and restrictions on certain types of sale lease-back transactions. The covenants specify that our leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.5x debt to earnings before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as defined in our credit agreement. As of June 30, 2016 , we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations. The restrictions related to our 2016 Notes issued subsequent to quarter end are substantially similar as those of our outstanding senior notes as of June 30, 2016 , which all rank pari-passu. As part of our financing for the pending Acquisition, we amended our $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility during the fourth quarter of 2015, effective following the completion of the pending Acquisition to increase the maximum leverage ratio to 5.75x debt to EBITDA, with a decline to 3.75x debt to EBITDA in the fourth year following the closing of the pending Acquisition.

Credit Rating

Our current long-term credit ratings are BBB-/Stable Outlook, Baa3/Stable Outlook, BBB-/Stable Outlook and BBB(Low)/Stable Outlook with Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Fitch Ratings and DBRS, respectively. Similarly, our short-term credit ratings are A-3, Prime-3, F3 and R-2(low), respectively. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and it may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the rating agency.

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 period. 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:

The weighted-average exchange rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , and June 30, 2015 , have been calculated based on the average of the foreign exchange rates during the relevant period and have been weighted according to the foreign denominated earnings before interest and taxes of the USD equivalent.

If foreign currencies in the countries in which we operate devalue significantly in future periods, most significantly the CAD and European operating currencies included in the above table, then the impact on USD reported earnings may be material. For example, as a result of the referendum held on June 23, 2016, in which a majority of voters in the U.K. voted in favor of the U.K. leaving the European Union, the GBP had weakened as of June 30, 2016 , and subsequently continues to be volatile. Any significant weakening of the GBP to the USD will have an adverse impact on our European revenues as reported in USD due to the importance of U.K. sales.

Capital Expenditures

We incurred $95.5 million, and have paid $121.6 million , for capital improvement projects worldwide in the six months ended June 30, 2016 , excluding capital spending by MillerCoors and other equity method joint ventures, representing a decrease of $21.1 million from the $116.6 million of capital expenditures incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2015 . We currently expect to incur total capital expenditures for 2016 of approximately $220 million, based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2016 , excluding capital expenditures associated with the new construction intended to replace the Vancouver brewery as well capital spending by MillerCoors and other equity method joint ventures or consideration of the potential implications of the pending Acquisition. We have increased our focus on where and how we employ our planned capital expenditures, specifically strengthening our focus on required returns on invested capital as we determine how to best allocate cash within the business.

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. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2016, first quarter of 2015 and fourth quarter of 2014, we received assessments from a local country regulatory authority related to indirect tax calculations in our Europe operations. While we intend to vigorously challenge the validity of the assessments and defend our position, if the assessments, as issued, are ultimately upheld, they could materially affect our results of operations. See further discussion as described in Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., our operating leases are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements, Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion of these off-balance sheet arrangements. As of June 30, 2016 , we did not have any other material off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).

Outlook for 2016

In the second half of 2016, we will continue to drive our first choice for consumer and customer agenda in the geographies and segments in which we operate, ensuring that we build a broader, stronger and more premium portfolio, while driving best-in-class customer service and partnerships. With the necessary financing now secure as a result of issuance of the 2016 Notes on July 7, 2016, we continue to anticipate the pending Acquisition to close in the second half of 2016, subject to, and contingent on, the successful closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction. In the past few months, we have made substantial progress on the pending Acquisition as further discussed below.

In Canada, we are continuing to invest behind new advertising focused on product quality, and improved sales execution by way of our field sales management program. These efforts are aimed not only at improving our performance in the premium segment, but also at continuing to accelerate our growing above premium portfolio. We will continue our push in the hard soda space with Mad Jack Root Beer and Ginger Ale , the first major hard soda entries in Canada. Additionally, we signed a partnership agreement in May with Brasseur de Montreal to leverage its craft and specialty beers in Quebec and across our strong Canada distribution network. Following the close of the pending Acquisition, we are also looking forward to bringing the Miller brands back into our Canada portfolio.

In the U.S., MillerCoors remains focused on its strategy to drive total volume growth by 2019. For the first time in many years, our largest business is in line with its volume expectations through the first six months. The second quarter of 2016 also provided additional steps toward its growth ambition, with strengthened marketing behind flagship brands Coors Light and Miller Lite , and we are starting to see the positive impact. We continue to see success in the innovation space. In above premium, we remain bullish on the potential of Henry’s as the hard soda category continues to grow. In the second quarter of 2016, Henry's became the number-one hard soda franchise and MillerCoors plans to roll out Henry’s Hard Cherry Cola this month. In the craft segment, MillerCoors will continue to invest behind advertising support for Blue Moon and Leinenkugel’s during the balance of the peak beer selling season. MillerCoors also recently announced that it has agreed to purchase a majority interest in Oregon-based Hop Valley Brewing Company and to increase its ownership of the Georgia-based Terrapin Beer Company from a minority stake to a majority interest. These are highly regarded brewers in both their regions and nationwide further strengthening our leading U.S. craft portfolio, which also includes Blue Moon, Leinenkugel's and Saint Archer brands. Additionally, next month at its fall meeting with distributors, the U.S. team will share plans to improve the performance of its below premium portfolio. The team also continues to expand its Building with Beer retail strategy beyond the on-premise to additional channels to build first choice customer partnerships. With changes pending in the MillerCoors ownership structure, the mood is not one of apprehension, but of excitement. In the meantime, MillerCoors remains disciplined, decisive and accountable for growing our business, transforming our portfolio, and driving shareholder value.

In Europe, we achieved strong top-line and market-share performance in the second quarter of 2016 on the strength of our core and above premium brands and the addition of the Rekorderlig cider and Staropramen brands in the U.K. Increased brand amortization expense will continue to present a headwind for one more quarter, and we intend to continue to invest in our core brand portfolio across Europe to grow share of segment, which includes our ambition to leverage our English Premier League sponsorship well beyond Carling in the U.K. to many high-potential brand and market opportunities. We will also continue to premiumise our portfolio, with Coors Light , the Sharp's portfolio led by Doom Bar , Cobra , Rekorderlig and Staropramen in the U.K. as well as and Republic of Ireland's leading craft brand, Franciscan Well .

In a referendum held on June 23, 2016, a majority of voters in the U.K. voted in favor of the U.K. leaving the European Union. The U.K. vote to leave the European Union triggered a decline in the GBP in comparison to USD and EUR. Weakening of economic conditions or economic uncertainties tend to harm the beer business, and if such conditions emerge in the U.K. or in the rest of Europe, it may have a material adverse effect on our Europe segment. In addition, any significant weakening of the GBP to the USD will have an adverse impact on our European revenues as reported in USD due to the importance of U.K. sales.

In MCI, we are focused on continuing to accelerate our overall growth in existing and select new markets while attaining profitability in 2016 on a constant currency basis versus 2013, when we originally made this commitment, excluding the impact of the Bihar total alcohol prohibition. Upon closing on the pending Acquisition, we are planning to integrate the Miller international brands into our portfolio and leverage a footprint that complements our growth strategy and allows us to gain entrance into high-priority markets, while increasing our business scale in current markets. We also intend to continue to drive

Table of Contents

rapid growth for Coors Light in Latin America. In the future, we expect the Coors , Miller and Staropramen brands to be the priorities of our international brand portfolio. In India, we expect to continue to add scale through our Mount Shivalik business.

We expect 2016 marketing, general and administrative expense in Corporate to be approximately $120 million, excluding costs related to the pending Acquisition.

We currently anticipate up to approximately $20 million of cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2016 , based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2016 , which includes $10.4 million of contributions made in the first half of 2016. MillerCoors, BRI and BDL contributions to their respective defined benefit pension plans are excluded here, as they are not consolidated in our financial statements.

Pending Acquisition

In 2015 we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the remaining 58% of SABMiller’s economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors, as well as all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, which we expect to significantly advance our ambition to be the first choice for consumers and customers. We currently anticipate the pending Acquisition to close in the second half of 2016, subject to, and contingent on, the successful closing of the ABI/SABMiller transaction. As a result, we are subject to the risks inherent in that transaction, including delay or a failure to consummate the ABI/SABMiller transaction, for reasons outside of our control. In the past few months, we have made substantial progress on the pending Acquisition. Specifically, on July 7, 2016, we replaced the outstanding commitment on our bridge loan with long-term financing in the form of the 2016 Notes. The net proceeds received from the issuance of the 2016 Notes, along with borrowings available under the term loan and the net proceeds from the February 3, 2016, equity offering are sufficient to fund the $12.0 billion purchase price of the pending Acquisition. We continue to expect to incur increased general and administrative expenses as well as non-operating expenses as a result of the pending Acquisition including transactional costs and temporary financing costs until the pending Acquisition closes.

Interest

We anticipate 2016 consolidated net interest expense of approximately $110 million, excluding interest expense and interest income related to the pending Acquisition, based on foreign exchange and interest rates at June 30, 2016 .

Dividends

As a result of the pending Acquisition, we plan to maintain our current quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share as we pay down debt, and we will revisit our dividend policy once deleveraging is well underway.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our accounting policies and accounting estimates critical to our financial condition and results of operations are set forth in our Annual Report and did not change during the first half of 2016 , except in connection with the total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India for which an interim impairment review was performed during the second quarter of 2016 for tangible assets, intangible assets and the India reporting unit goodwill. Refer to Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements,

Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the results of this interim review and 2015 annual impairment testing analysis and the related risks to our indefinite-lived intangible brand assets and goodwill amounts associated with our reporting units.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of all new accounting pronouncements.

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 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 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. On a rolling twelve-month basis, maturities of derivative financial instruments held on June 30, 2016 , based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2016 , are as follows:



Total			Less than 1 year			1 - 3 years			3 - 5 years		More than 5 years

Sensitivity Analysis

Our market sensitive derivative and other financial instruments, as defined by the SEC, are debt, foreign currency forward contracts and commodity swaps. We monitor foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, commodity risk, and related derivatives using a sensitivity analysis.

The following table presents the results of the sensitivity analysis, which reflects the impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in each of these risks to our derivative and debt portfolio:



	As of
	June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
	(In millions)
Estimated fair value volatility
Foreign currency risk:

Commodity price risk:
Swaps	$	(13.0	)	$	(9.4	)


(1)	Prior to issuing our EUR notes and CAD notes on July 7, 2016, we entered into foreign currency forward agreements to economically hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposure on the notes prior to issuance. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for additional information.

The volatility of the applicable rates and prices are dependent on many factors that cannot be forecast with reliable accuracy. Therefore, actual changes in fair values could differ significantly from the results presented in the table above.

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 item 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, 2016 , to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports 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 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, 2016 , 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

On December 12, 2014, a notice of action captioned David Hughes and 631992 Ontario Inc. v. Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Brewers Retail Inc., Labatt Breweries of Canada LP, Molson Coors Canada and Sleeman Breweries Ltd. No. CV-14-518059-00CP was filed in Ontario, Canada in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI") and its owners, including Molson Coors Canada, as well as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario ("LCBO") are named as defendants in the action. The plaintiffs allege that The Beer Store (retail outlets owned and operated by BRI) and LCBO improperly entered

Table of Contents

into an agreement to fix prices and market allocation within the Ontario beer market to the detriment of licensees and consumers. The plaintiffs seek to have the claim certified as a class action on behalf of all Ontario beer consumers and licensees and, among other things, damages in the amount of Canadian Dollar ("CAD") 1.4 billion . We note that The Beer Store operates according to the rules established by the Government of Ontario for regulation, sale and distribution of beer in the province. Additionally, prices at The Beer Store are independently set by each brewer and are approved by the LCBO on a weekly basis. Accordingly, we intend to vigorously assert and defend our rights in this lawsuit. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements,

Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

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.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I—Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or future results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report with the exception of the additional risk factor included below. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or future results.

The vote in the U.K. to leave the European Union could adversely affect us. Approximately 34% of our consolidated net sales in 2015 came from the U.K., which is our largest market in Europe. In a referendum held on June 23, 2016, a majority of voters in the U.K. voted in favor of the U.K. leaving the European Union. The U.K. vote to leave the European Union triggered a decline in the GBP in comparison to USD and EUR. Weakening of economic conditions or economic uncertainties tend to harm the beer business, and if such conditions emerge in the U.K. or in the rest of Europe, it may have a material adverse effect on our Europe segment. In addition, any significant weakening of the GBP to the USD will have an adverse impact on our European revenues as reported in USD due to the importance of U.K. sales.
