In addition to the risks and uncertainties of ordinary business operations and conditions in the general economy and markets in which we compete, our forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are also subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to the impact and severity of new variants, vaccine efficacy and immunization rates, the closure of non-essential businesses, which may include our manufacturing facilities, and other associated governmental containment actions, quarantines, or curfews, and the increase in cyber-security attacks that have occurred while non-production employees work remotely; raw material and water supply, production, or shipment difficulties could adversely affect our ability to supply our customers; the actual impact to supply, production levels, and costs due to wildfires, severe weather events, global supply chain logistics, and transportation challenges may vary from current expectations due to, among other reasons, the actual severity and geographical reach of wildfires and severe weather events and actual supply chain and transportation performance; the actual balance of supply and demand for our products and percentage of our portfolio distributed through any particular distributor may vary from current expectations due to, among other reasons, actual raw material and water supply, actual shipments to distributors, and actual consumer demand;

expected benefits of the investment in Canopy may not materialize in the manner or timeframe expected or at all; the fair value of our investment in Canopy may vary due to market and economic conditions in Canopy's markets and business locations; amount and timing of future Constellation dividends are subject to the determination and discretion of our Board of Directors; changes to international trade agreements or tariffs; beer operations expansion, optimization, and construction activities take place on expected scope, terms, costs and timeframe, and amount of impairment from non-recoverable brewery construction assets and other costs and expenses in Mexico may vary from current estimates due to market conditions, our cash and debt position, receipt of regulatory approvals by the expected dates and on the expected terms, results of discussions with government officials in Mexico, actual amount of non-recoverable brewery construction assets and other costs and expenses, and other factors determined by management;
