Class A Exchangeable shares—2,896,939 shares

Class B Exchangeable shares—18,846,136 shares

These Class A and Class B exchangeable shares offer substantially the same economic and voting rights as the respective classes of common shares of the registrant.

(a subsidiary of the registrant), respectively, may exercise their voting rights with respect to the registrant. The special Class A and Class B voting stock are entitled to one vote for each of the exchangeable shares, respectively, excluding shares held by the registrant or its subsidiaries, and generally vote together with the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, on all matters on which the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to vote. The trustee holder of the special Class A voting stock and the special Class B voting stock has the right to cast a number of votes equal to the number of then outstanding Class A exchangeable shares and Class B exchangeable shares, respectively.

MOLSON COORS BREWING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

References to Central Europe reflect our operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia, as a result of our acquisition (the "Acquisition") of StarBev Holdings S.à r.l. ("StarBev") from StarBev L.P. (the "Seller") on June 15, 2012, and the results of these operations are included within our Europe segment.

Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$") and comparisons are to comparable prior periods as noted below.

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 United States of America ("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 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, 2013 ("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 2014, with the exception of a change to our policy for recognizing advertising expenses in interim periods as discussed below. Additionally, in order to provide further clarity around our policy regarding the classification of special items in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, we have expanded our related disclosure as reflected below.

Special Items

Our special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized 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; specifically, such items are considered to be one of the following:

•infrequent or unusual items,

•impairment or asset abandonment-related losses,

•restructuring charges and other atypical employee-related costs, or

•fees on termination of significant operating agreements and gains (losses) on disposal of investments.

The items classified as special items are not necessarily non-recurring, however, they are deemed to be incremental to income earned or costs incurred by the Company in conducting normal operations, and therefore are presented separately from other components of operating income.

Our Fiscal Year

On November 14, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to change MCBC's fiscal year from a 52/53 week fiscal year to a calendar year. As such, our 2013 fiscal year was extended from December 28, 2013, to December 31, 2013, with subsequent fiscal years beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year. Beginning January 1, 2014, quarterly results reflect the three month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. This change aligned our fiscal year and interim reporting periods with our Central Europe business and MillerCoors, which were already following a monthly fiscal reporting calendar. Unless otherwise indicated, and with the exception of the Central Europe business and MillerCoors, the second quarter of 2013 and the three months ended June 29, 2013, refer to the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2013. The first half of 2013 and the six months ended June 29, 2013, refer to the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2013. The

Table of Contents

second quarter and first half of 2014 refer to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Fiscal year 2014 refers to the 12 months ending December 31, 2014, and fiscal year 2013 refers to the period from December 30, 2012, to December 31, 2013. The impact of the additional days in fiscal year 2013 is immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Change in Interim Period Accounting for Advertising Expenses

In previous years' interim periods, including the quarterly periods within fiscal year 2013, we recognized advertising costs in expense during the fiscal year based on the proportion of sales volumes for the interim period in relation to the estimated annual sales volumes. U.S. GAAP permits the allocation of advertising costs across interim periods within a fiscal year when future periods benefit from the expenditure. Advertising expenses were not deferred from one fiscal year to the next. Effective beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we changed our method of accounting for advertising expenses for interim periods such that advertising expense is now recognized as incurred. We adopted this change as a result of management’s belief that the new method is preferable and results in a more objective measure of quarterly expense that will better support planning and resource allocation decisions by management, results in improved financial statements for investor analysis, and further aligns our treatment with that of our U.S. operations within MillerCoors. The new policy of expensing advertising costs as incurred additionally eliminates the uncertainty in estimating overall expected sales volumes, advertising expenses, and the benefit period of the advertising on an interim basis, and conforms our interim accounting policy with that used to prepare the annual financial statements. The change has been applied retrospectively to all prior interim periods presented. The quarterly impact of the change in accounting policy on marketing, general and administrative expenses and the associated impact on income tax expense, as well as the impact to certain subtotals and diluted earnings per share within our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, is as follows:

As noted above, under our historical treatment, advertising expenses were not deferred from one fiscal year to the next. Therefore, the change in interim accounting had no impact on full year consolidated results.

The following table shows the impact to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by segment as a result of the change in accounting policy for advertising expense. The full impact of this change in presentation is reflected within marketing, general and administrative expenses.

Foreign Currency Translation Tax Adjustment

During the third quarter of 2013, we identified that we had incorrectly recorded tax adjustments related to certain foreign currency movements in the financial statements for both the first and second quarters of 2013 that misstated non-current deferred tax assets, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and comprehensive income by immaterial amounts. We have revised the foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax, included in other comprehensive income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013. These errors were corrected in the third quarter of 2013 and therefore had no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. Note that the as adjusted amounts below also reflect the adjustments related to the change in interim accounting for advertising expense as discussed above.

Unrecognized Tax Benefit Adjustments

During the second quarter of 2014, we identified that we had incorrectly omitted the recognition of a liability for specific uncertain tax positions related to fiscal year 2010 that resulted in an immaterial misstatement of unrecognized tax benefits and retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013, and December 29, 2012, included in our Annual Report. We determined the impact of the correction of this error to be too significant to record within our second quarter 2014 results and, therefore, have revised our historical balance sheets accordingly. To correct for this error, we have revised the unrecognized tax benefits and retained earnings in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, included herein. This correction resulted in an increase in the current portion of unrecognized tax benefits included within accounts payable and other current liabilities of $19.3 million, an increase in noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits of $14.4 million and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings of $33.7 million. These unrecognized tax benefits remain in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014. These items relate to tax years that are currently open, and amounts may differ from those to be determined upon closing of the positions.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Joint and Several Liability Arrangements

In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results from operations.

Table of Contents

Cumulative Translation Adjustment

In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This update also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results from operations.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

In April 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to clarify when it is appropriate to apply the liquidation basis of accounting. Additionally, the update provides guidance for recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the amendment, entities are required to prepare their financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting when a liquidation becomes imminent. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results from operations.

Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits

In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The update requires that the entity present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward in the statement of financial position. The guidance does not apply to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward at the reporting date is not available under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. As a result of adopting this guidance, we have presented deferred tax assets net of unrecognized tax benefits, as appropriate, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this guidance impacted the classification of our outstanding unrecognized tax benefits and resulted in a reclassification of $37.8 million from the unrecognized tax benefits line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet upon adoption in the first quarter of 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity

In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The update limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This update requires expanded disclosures related to assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of discontinued operations. This update also requires the disclosure of pretax profit or loss and the financial effects of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods thereafter. We do not anticipate that this guidance will have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

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. The requirements of the new standard are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance.

Share-Based Payments

In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The requirements of the new standard are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not anticipate that this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

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 or segmented sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Net sales represent sales to third-party external customers. Inter-segment sales revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, other than those to MillerCoors (see Note 4, "Investments" for additional detail), are insignificant 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, 2014, or December 31, 2013. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the quarter 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, 2014, and December 31, 2013, our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K.") and Grolsch. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers' Retail Inc. ("BRI"), Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL") and Molson Modelo Imports L.P. ("MMI"). See further discussion below.

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 ("CBC") 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.

Termination of MMI Operations

On November 5, 2013, Anheuser-Busch Inbev ("ABI") and MCBC entered into an agreement providing for the accelerated termination of MMI, a 50% - 50% joint venture with Grupo Modelo S.A.B. de C.V. ("Modelo"), which provided for the import, distribution, and marketing of the Modelo beer brand portfolio across all Canadian provinces and territories. The joint venture, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, was originally a 10 year agreement ending January 1, 2018. In June 2013, ABI completed its combination with Modelo, including Modelo’s interest in MMI. Following negotiations with ABI, MCC consented to change the effective termination date of the agreement from January 1, 2018, to February 28, 2014, upon successful close and completion of the transition period, at which time MCC would receive payment from Modelo for the early termination of the original agreement. In conjunction with these negotiations, ABI also agreed that we will continue to represent the Modelo brands in the U.K. and Japan through the end of 2014.

The transition period was successfully completed on February 28, 2014, at which time we recognized income of $63.2 million (CAD 70.0 million) within special items, reflective of the agreed upon payment received from Modelo. Additionally we recorded a charge of $4.9 million representing the accelerated amortization of the remaining carrying value of our definite-lived intangible asset associated with the agreement. In accordance with the termination agreement, MMI continued to operate in its historical capacity through the end of the transition period. Effective end of day on February 28, 2014, MMI ceased all operations and will be dissolved during the second half of 2014 upon final agreement with ABI on the distribution amount of the joint venture's remaining net assets. As a result, our first half of 2014 results reflect our proportionate ownership interest of the MMI activity during the first quarter of 2014 through end of day February 28, 2014. Under the MMI arrangement, we recognized equity earnings within cost of goods sold of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and $4.5 million and $5.1 million during the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and three and six months ended June 29, 2013, MCC recognized marketing and administrative cost recoveries related to the promotion, sale and distribution of Modelo products under our agency and services agreement with MMI of $1.1 million, $3.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively. These cost recoveries are recorded within marketing, general and administrative expenses. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet includes our investment in MMI of $10.6 million and $21.2 million, respectively, and an affiliate net payable to MMI of $4.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

In accordance with the early termination agreement, the book value of the joint venture's net assets is required to be distributed to the respective joint venture partners for the owners' proportionate ownership interest at the end of the transition period, which we expect to occur in the second half of 2014. Concurrently, we will derecognize our equity investment within other non-current assets and recognize a gain (loss), if any, within special items resulting from the excess (deficit) of the total proceeds, consisting of our proportionate ownership interest in the book value of the joint venture’s assets, over our equity investment and joint venture related net asset balances upon final distribution.

5. Share-Based Payments

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, 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 Molson Coors Brewing Company Incentive Compensation Plan ("Incentive Compensation Plan"): restricted stock units ("RSU"), deferred stock units ("DSU"), performance share units ("PSU"), performance units ("PU") and stock options. 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:



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 30, 2014			June 29, 2013
	(In millions)
Pretax compensation expense	$	3.8		$	4.3		$	12.1		$	15.4
Tax benefit	(1.2		)	(1.1		)	(3.9		)	(4.5		)
After-tax compensation expense	$	2.6		$	3.2		$	8.2		$	10.9

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2014, there was $24.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from all share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan, related to unvested shares. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

The following table represents the summary of stock options and stock-only stock appreciation rights ("SOSAR") outstanding as of June 30, 2014, and the activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	Shares outstanding	Weighted-average exercise price per share	Weighted-average remaining contractual life (years)	Aggregate intrinsic value

Exercisable at June 30, 2014	2.3	$43.34	4.00	$	69.5

The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, were $15.0 million and $23.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, cash received from stock option exercises was $27.7 million and $63.1 million, respectively, and the total excess tax benefit from these stock option exercises and other awards was $3.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

The following table represents non-vested RSUs, DSUs, PSUs and PUs as of June 30, 2014, and the activity during the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	RSUs and DSUs			PUs			PSUs

Non-vested as of June 30, 2014	0.7		$47.42	0.5		$0.45	0.4	$50.49

The weighted-average fair value per unit for the non-vested PSUs is $46.10 as of June 30, 2014.

The fair value of each option granted in the first half of 2014 and 2013 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, 2014	June 29, 2013
Risk-free interest rate	2.29%	1.43%
Dividend yield	2.57%	2.88%
Volatility range	22.66%-26.57%	22.39%-25.90%
Weighted-average volatility	25.59%	25.02%
Expected term (years)	7.5	7.7
Weighted-average fair market value	$12.78	$8.39

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.

Weighted-average fair market value	$58.69	$43.10

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, 2014, there were 7.4 million shares of the Company's Class B common stock available for issuance as awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.

On July 24, 2014, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2014, Peter Swinburn, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, informed the Corporate Secretary and the Board of Directors of the Company his intention to retire as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and as a member of the Board effective December 31, 2014. In addition, on July 24, 2014, the Board appointed Mark Hunter as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President to replace Mr. Swinburn effective on January 1, 2015. Mr. Hunter currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and President of Molson Coors Europe. Mr. Hunter will also serve as a member of Board effective January 1, 2015. We do not anticipate a significant impact to our results, specifically related to share-based compensation expense, as a result of this change.

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. As such, we have separately classified these charges (benefits) as special items. The table below summarizes special items recorded by segment:

(2)	During 2009, we established a non-income-related tax reserve of $10.4 million that was recorded as a special item. In the first quarter of 2013, the remaining outstanding amount of this non-income-related tax reserve was fully released.


(3)	During the second quarter of 2014, we incurred costs and recorded losses in our Europe business associated with significant flooding in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. We are currently in the process of evaluating the full impact of these floods which may result in additional special items in future periods.

Restructuring Activities

In 2012, we introduced several initiatives focused on increasing our efficiencies and reducing costs across all functions of the business in order to develop a more competitive supply chain and global cost structure. Included in these initiatives is a long-term focus on reducing labor and general overhead costs through restructuring activities. We view these restructuring activities as actions to allow us to meet our long-term growth targets by generating future cost savings within cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses and include organizational changes that strengthen our business and accelerate efficiencies within our operational structure. As a result of these restructuring activities, we have reduced headcount and consequently recognized severance and other employee-related charges, which we have recorded as special items. As we continually evaluate our cost structure and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings, we may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future; however, we are unable to estimate the amount of charges at this time.

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 12-24 months. The table below summarizes the activity in the restructuring accruals by segment:



	Canada			Europe			MCI			Corporate			Total

Included in this amount are gains of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and unrealized losses of $10.1 million and gains of $10.0 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, related to foreign currency movements on foreign-denominated financing instruments entered into in conjunction with the closing of the Acquisition. These amounts were partially offset by unrealized gains of $3.9 million and losses of $6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, related to foreign cash positions and foreign exchange contracts entered into to hedge our risk associated with payments of this foreign-denominated debt. Additionally, we recorded net gains of $0.5 million and $0.8 million related to other foreign exchange and derivative activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. We recorded net losses related to other foreign exchange and derivative activity of $2.6 million and $9.4 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively.

8. Income Tax

Our effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 were approximately 11% and 10%, respectively. For the first half of 2014 and 2013, our effective tax rates were approximately 8% and 10%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first half of 2013 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion. Our effective tax rates were significantly lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower statutory income tax rates applicable to our Canada and Europe businesses, tax planning strategies, as well as the discrete items further discussed below. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased versus the three months ended June 29, 2013, primarily due to decreased discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year as compared to 2013. Our total net discrete tax benefit was $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, which reduced our quarterly effective tax rate by 4 percentage points. In April 2014, we finalized our advanced pricing agreement between the U.S. and Canada tax authorities. The implementation of our new agreement and reversal of the related unrecognized tax benefits resulted in a net discrete income tax benefit of approximately $21 million. Additionally, tax years 2007 and 2008 are now closed in the U.S. following the execution of this agreement and subsequent Internal Revenue Service resolution. This was partially reduced by an immaterial out of period adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2014 of $8.7 million related to our deferred tax liabilities. This out of period adjustment primarily relates to immaterial errors for the fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 and is unrelated to the unrecognized tax benefit adjustment associated with the 2010 fiscal year further discussed below.

During the second quarter of 2014, we identified that we had incorrectly omitted uncertain tax positions related to fiscal year 2010 that resulted in an immaterial misstatement of unrecognized tax benefits and retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheets included in our Annual Report. We have revised our current presentation of these amounts to correct for this error, which resulted in an increase in current unrecognized tax benefits of $19.3 million and noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits of $14.4 million as of December 31, 2013. These items relate to tax years that are currently open and amounts may differ from those to be determined upon closing of the positions. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information.

As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had unrecognized tax benefits including interest, penalties and offsetting positions of $81.1 million and $149.6 million, respectively. The allocation of these balances between current and noncurrent has not changed materially since December 31, 2013. The decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets from December 31, 2013, to June 30, 2014, was primarily due to the previously discussed favorable resolution of unrecognized tax positions and the reclassification of certain unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of the recently issued guidance related to the presentation of these items. See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements" for further discussion.

9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("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 includes stock options, stock-only stock appreciation rights ("SOSARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance units ("PUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred stock units ("DSUs"). 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:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2014		June 29, 2013(1)		June 30, 2014			June 29, 2013(1)

(2)

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 reporting period. 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.

The following anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of the effect of dilutive securities on diluted earnings per share:



	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2014	June 29, 2013	June 30, 2014	June 29, 2013

Convertible Notes

In June 2007, we issued $575 million Convertible Senior Notes ("$575 million convertible bonds") due July 2013. On July 30, 2013, these notes matured and were repaid for their face value of $575 million. The required premium payment was settled in cash and entirely offset by the cash proceeds received from the settlement of the call options we purchased in 2007 related to these notes. As a result, these notes and related call options did not impact our shares outstanding. Additionally, the potential impacts of these notes and related call options had no impact on diluted income per share for any period in which they were outstanding. Simultaneously with the issuance of these notes, we issued warrants which began expiring in December 2013 and the final warrants expired February 6, 2014, all of which were out-of-the-money upon settlement. The potential impacts of these warrants had no impact on diluted income per share and were excluded from the computation of the effect of dilutive securities on diluted earnings per share for all periods during which they were outstanding.

In June 2012, we issued a €500 million Zero Coupon Senior Unsecured Convertible Note ("€500 million convertible note"). On August 13, 2013, the embedded put option was exercised and we subsequently settled the note using cash. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion. As a result, the €500 million convertible note did not impact our shares outstanding and was excluded from the computation of the effect of diluted securities on diluted earnings per share for all periods presented.

10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following summarizes the change in goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2014:



	Canada			Europe		MCI		Consolidated

	(Years)	(In millions)
Intangible assets subject to amortization:
Brands	3 - 40	$	537.5	$	(224.7	)	$	312.8

Other	Indefinite	15.2		—			15.2
Total		$	7,338.8	$	(513.7	)	$	6,825.1

The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangibles from December 31, 2013, to June 30, 2014, are primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangibles are denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, upon termination of MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014, we accelerated the amortization of the remaining $4.9 million net carrying value of the related definite-lived intangible asset and wrote-off its gross value of $40.5 million. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.

Based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2014, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows:



Fiscal year	Amount
	(In millions)
2014 - remaining	$	21.3
2015	$	40.2
2016	$	40.2
2017	$	14.1
2018	$	12.3

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $10.4 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively, and $21.0 million and $23.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. This expense is presented within marketing, general and administrative expenses and excludes the accelerated amortization recognized for the write-off of the intangible asset associated with the termination of MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.

We completed our required 2013 annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing as of June 30, 2013, the first day of our fiscal year 2013 third 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, with the exception of the Jelen and Ostravar brand intangibles as discussed below. We expect to finalize our 2014 annual impairment test in the third quarter of 2014.

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 2013 annual goodwill impairment testing determined that our Europe and Canada reporting units were 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 11% and 16% in excess of carrying value, respectively, as of the testing date. The risk in the Europe

Table of Contents

reporting unit is due to continued adverse impacts of a weak economy in Europe, partially offset by the realized benefits of combining our U.K. and Central Europe businesses. The Canada reporting unit had a marginal improvement over the prior year primarily as a result of incremental anticipated cost savings and improvements to market multiples more than offsetting the continued competitive pressures and challenging macroeconomic conditions in the Canada market.

Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

In 2013, our annual indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing determined that the fair values of the Jelen and Ostravar indefinite-lived brand intangibles within our Europe segment were below their respective carrying values. As a result, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $150.9 million within special items in the third quarter of 2013. Additionally, two brands, Ozujsko in Croatia and Branik in Czech Republic, were determined to be at risk of future impairment as a result of discount rate pressures due to country specific macroeconomic risk factors that were more than offset by improved cash flow projections driven by post-acquisition performance and innovations. The Jelen, Ozujsko and Branik brands are, therefore, at risk of future impairment with an aggregate fair value estimated at approximately 1% in excess of their aggregate carrying value as of the June 30, 2013 impairment testing date. As of June 30, 2014, these at-risk intangible assets had a carrying value of $1,302.5 million. Additionally, in conjunction with the brand impairment test completed in 2013, we reclassified Ostravar as a definite-lived intangible asset.

During the second quarter of 2014, severe weather in the Balkans region resulted in significant flooding throughout the area, adversely impacting our Serbian and Bosnian markets, for which Jelen is our primary brand. This natural disaster has exacerbated the ongoing macroeconomic challenges in the area, and we are evaluating the immediate and long-term implications of these floods, and specifically the impact to the future cash flows associated with the Jelen brand. We are unable at this time to fully evaluate the extent of the damage, its impact on the Jelen brand's performance, or the effect that the potential risk of a prolonged recovery in one or both of these markets could have on the long-term value of the brand. This increases the previously disclosed risk of future impairment for Jelen, and if, upon conclusion of our evaluation, we determine that an impairment is necessary, it may be material to our financial results. We expect that we will be able to complete our thorough assessment of the impact of the floods in conjunction with our annual impairment test, which we expect to finalize in the third quarter of 2014.

Separately, our Molson core brand intangible continues to be at risk of future impairment with a fair value estimated at approximately 10% in excess of its carrying value as of the impairment testing date, as the Molson core brands have continued to face significant competitive pressures and challenging macroeconomic conditions in the Canada market. These challenges were partially offset by anticipated cost savings initiatives. As of June 30, 2014, the Molson core brand intangible had a carrying value of $2,845.0 million.

Regarding definite-lived intangibles, we continuously monitor the performance of the underlying asset for potential triggering events suggesting an impairment review should be performed. No such triggering events were identified in the second quarter of 2014. However, recent litigation related to the licensing agreement with Miller in Canada resulted in a $17.9 million impairment charge of our definite-lived intangible asset related to our licensing agreement in December 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the intangible has a remaining carrying value of $32.0 million with an estimated remaining life of approximately three years. The outcome of the litigation or any future settlement discussions with Miller could result in additional impairments. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.

(1)	On June 15, 2012, we issued a €500 million convertible note due December 31, 2013, which included a put conversion feature to the Seller. On August 13, 2013, the conversion feature was exercised for an agreed-upon value upon exercise of €510.9 million, consisting of €500 million in principal and €10.9 million for the conversion feature.

On September 3, 2013, we paid the Seller in cash a total of €466.0 million ($614.7 million) consisting of €455.1 million ($600.3 million) in principal and €10.9 million ($14.4 million) for the conversion feature. Separate from the Seller's notice to put, we had made claims with regard to the representations and warranties provided to us upon close of the Acquisition related to local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods. As of December 31, 2013, we had withheld €44.9 million ($61.8 million) from the €500 million in principal related to these outstanding claims. During the first half of 2014, we released the €44.9 million ($61.4 million at settlement) withheld to the Seller as a result of the settlement of these claims. We did not incur any interest on amounts withheld.

The €500 million convertible note's embedded conversion feature was determined to meet the definition of a derivative required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, we recognized an unrealized gain of $2.7 million and an unrealized loss of $26.8 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of the conversion feature. The cash and non-cash interest, excluding the change in fair value of the convertible feature, resulted in an immaterial impact to our effective interest rate for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013.

(2)

In the second quarter of 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert a portion of our fixed rate $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 ("$500 million notes") to floating rate debt. This resulted in an effective interest rate of 3.31% and 3.40%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. As a result of this hedge program, the carrying value of the $500 million note includes a $1.2 million adjustment for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.

Table of Contents

(3)

During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a five-year, $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility, which provides a $100 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit. This $750 million revolving facility replaced our existing $400 million and $550 million revolving credit facilities, which had maturities in the second quarters of 2015 and 2016, respectively. As a result, we made a reduction to the size of our existing commercial paper program to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $750 million. Concurrent with the transaction, we incurred $1.8 million of issuance costs related to the $750 million revolving credit facility which are being amortized over the term of the agreement and recognized $1.3 million of accelerated amortization related to the termination of the pre-existing facilities. There were no outstanding borrowings under our $750 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2014, or under our pre-existing credit facilities upon termination or as of December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, we have $448.9 million available to draw on under our $750 million revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program discussed above.

As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $4.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, under the Japanese Yen line of credit and no borrowings under the GBP and CAD facilities.

Our Europe segment has a notional cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for the majority of its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2014, we had $134.2 million in bank overdrafts and $166.9 million in bank cash related to the pool for a net positive position of $32.7 million. As of December 31, 2013, we did not have bank overdrafts related to the cash pool. Also included in short-term borrowings is $11.9 million and $4.8 million related to factoring arrangements and other short-term borrowings within our Europe business as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.

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, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including current portion) was $3,368.9 million and $3,359.1 million, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and would be 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.

Other

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 and transfers of assets. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations.

13. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 17 of the Notes included in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first half of 2014. As noted in Note 17 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 gross in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our significant derivative/hedge positions have not changed significantly since year-end, except as noted below.

Interest Rate Swaps

In the second quarter of 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional of $300 million to economically convert that portion of our fixed rate $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 ("$500 million notes") to floating rate debt. We will receive fixed interest payments semi-annually at a rate of 3.5% per annum and pay a rate to our counterparties based on a credit spread plus the three month LIBOR rate, thereby effectively exchanging a fixed interest obligation for a floating interest obligation. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we entered into incremental interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional of $200 million thus economically converting all of the $500 million notes to floating rate debt.

We entered into these interest rate swap agreements to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of our $500 million notes that results from fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate, specifically LIBOR, and have designated these swaps as fair value hedges and determined that there is zero ineffectiveness. The changes in fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged item are recognized in earnings. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps and the offsetting changes in fair value of the $500 million notes attributable to the benchmark interest rate was a gain of $1.2 million and a loss of $1.2 million respectively, both recorded in interest expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2014, such adjustments had increased the carrying value of our $500 million notes by $1.2 million. See Note 11, "Debt" for additional details.

Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps

In the second quarter of 2014, we began to enter into forward starting interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to the volatility of the interest rates associated with future interest payments on a forecasted debt issuance. As of June 30, 2014, we had entered into one swap agreement having a total notional of CAD 40 million with a fixed interest rate of 3.11%. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we entered into additional forward starting interest rate swaps totaling CAD 120 million and we intend to enter into multiple additional forward starting interest rate swaps up to the date of the forecasted issuance. The forward starting interest rate swaps have an effective date of September 2015 and a termination date of September 2025 mirroring the terms of the forecasted debt issuance. Under the agreements we are required to early terminate these swaps in 2015 at the time we expect to issue the forecasted debt. We have designated these contracts as cash flow hedges.

Cross Currency Swaps

In the first quarter of 2014, we early settled the final remaining CAD 241 million notional of our outstanding currency swaps designated as a net investment hedge of our Canadian operations for $65.2 million. As of June 30, 2014, we do not have any cross currency swap positions outstanding.

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, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

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 exposures related to certain 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 statement of operations. There have been no changes in the underlying liabilities from the year ended December 31, 2013, therefore all changes in the current and non-current liabilities of discontinued operations during the first half of 2014 are due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2013, to June 30, 2014. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, we recognized gains of $0.2 million and $1.7 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, 2014, and June 29, 2013, we recognized losses of $1.7 million and gains of $0.8 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 $158.1 million as of June 30, 2014.

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. 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 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 consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

Related to guarantees, other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include $5.7 million as of June 30, 2014, and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2013, both of which are non-current.

Litigation and Other Disputes and Environmental

Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have accrued an aggregate of $17.1 million as of June 30, 2014, and $14.0 million as of December 31, 2013. We believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the specific case 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, none of these disputes or legal actions is 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.

In 2013, we became aware of potential liabilities in several Central European countries primarily related to local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods. We recorded liabilities related to these matters in the second quarter of 2013 as we finalized purchase price accounting related to the Acquisition. During the first quarter of 2014, these matters were favorably resolved and we released the associated indirect tax and income tax related reserves, inclusive of post-acquisition accrued interest, resulting in a gain of $13.0 million, recorded within marketing, general and administrative expenses and an income tax benefit of $18.5 million. As a result of the resolution, in the first quarter of 2014 we released amounts previously withheld with regard to these matters to the Seller. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion.

While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for environmental and related matters in which we are currently involved, 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. We believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable.

Litigation and Other Disputes

In December 2012, Miller Brewing Company (“Miller”) orally informed us of its intent to terminate the license agreement between Miller and us whereby we have exclusive rights to distribute certain Miller products in Canada (the “License Agreement”). Miller alleges that we failed to meet certain volume sales targets under the License Agreement. We do not believe Miller has any right under the License Agreement or otherwise to terminate the License Agreement. We filed a lawsuit in Ontario, Canada (Molson Canada 2005 v. Miller Brewing Company, Sup. Ct. of Justice-Ontario, CV-12-470589) seeking an injunction preventing Miller from terminating the License Agreement and ordering Miller to abide by its contractual terms. On January 18, 2013, Miller sent written notice to us purporting to terminate the License Agreement. On June 20, 2013, we were granted an injunction preventing Miller's termination of the License Agreement, pending a trial on the merits, originally scheduled for December 2013. During December 2013, upon completion of discovery and exchange of affidavits, both parties requested an extension of the trial and entered into private settlement discussions. The parties have been unable to reach a settlement at this time. On May 2, 2014, the court set a new trial date for November 2014.

At trial we intend to vigorously assert and defend our rights in this lawsuit. The ultimate outcome of the litigation could result in a materially different outcome than currently estimated by management, including the potential of further impairment beyond the $17.9 million non-cash charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, or possible recovery of previously impaired amounts. We recognized net sales related to the License Agreement of $25.5 million and $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively, and net sales of $39.4 million and $47.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, we had a definite-lived intangible asset related to the License Agreement with a carrying value of $32.0 million and a remaining life of approximately three years.

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 pre-tax 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 2.94% risk-free rate of return.

Based on these assumptions, the present value and gross amount of the costs at June 30, 2014, are approximately $2.2 million and $5.3 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 have been 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 sold (excluding the property of the former Chamblee site) in the mid-1990s, 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 second quarter or first half of 2014 capital expenditures, results of operations or our financial or competitive position, and we do not anticipate that they will do so during the remainder of the year.

16. Supplemental Guarantor Information

For purposes of this Note 16, including the tables, "Parent Guarantor and 2012 Issuer" shall mean MCBC and "Subsidiary Guarantors" shall mean certain Canadian, U.S. and European subsidiaries reflecting the substantial operations of each of our Canadian and U.S. segments, as well as our U.K. operations of our European segment.

SEC Registered Securities

On May 3, 2012, MCBC issued $1.9 billion of senior notes, in a registered public offering, consisting of $300 million 2.0% senior notes due 2017, $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. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Guarantor. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

Other Debt

On September 22, 2005, MC Capital Finance ULC ("MC Capital Finance") issued $1.1 billion of senior notes consisting of $300 million 4.85% U.S. publicly registered notes due 2010 and CAD 900 million 5.0% privately placed notes maturing on September 22, 2015. These CAD 900 million senior notes were subsequently exchanged for substantially identical CAD 900 million senior notes which were quantified by way of a prospectus in Canada. In connection with an internal corporate reorganization, Molson Coors International LP ("MCI LP") was subsequently added as a co-issuer of the CAD 900 million senior notes in 2007. The $300 million senior notes were repaid in 2010. The continuous disclosure requirements applicable to MC Capital Finance in Canada are satisfied through the consolidating financial information in respect of MC Capital Finance, MCI LP and other subsidiary guarantors of the CAD 900 million senior notes as currently presented within the Subsidiary Guarantors column.

None of our other outstanding debt is publicly registered, and it is all guaranteed on a senior and unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantors. 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, 2014.

Presentation

During the second quarter of 2014, we identified an immaterial error related to unrecognized tax benefits in previous years and have revised our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 to correct for this error. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information. We have revised our guarantor condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included herein, to reflect the correction of this error and we do not consider the impacts material to the presentation.

Effective the first quarter of 2014, we changed our interim accounting for advertising expenses and have applied the change to our historical interim periods retrospectively. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information. Note that we do not consider the impacts material to the presentation of our interim guarantor condensed consolidating statements of operations or condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.

During the third quarter of 2013, we identified that we had incorrectly recorded tax adjustments related to certain foreign currency movements in the financial statements for both the first and second quarters of 2013. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information. We have revised comprehensive income (loss) attributable to MCBC in the condensed consolidating statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013. These errors were corrected in the third quarter of 2013 and therefore had no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. This revision, in addition to the change in accounting described above, resulted in adjustments to comprehensive income (loss) attributable to MCBC within the condensed consolidating statement of operations for the Parent Guarantor from $225.9 million, as previously reported, to $180.6 million, as adjusted, for the three months ended June 29, 2013, and $19.7 million, as previously reported, to $(52.1) million, as adjusted, for the six months ended June 29, 2013.

The following information sets forth the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, condensed consolidating balance sheets as of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013. 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, 2013 ("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 noted below.

Our Fiscal Year

On November 14, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to change MCBC's fiscal year from a 52/53 week fiscal year to a calendar year. As such, our 2013 fiscal year was extended from December 28, 2013, to December 31, 2013, with subsequent fiscal years beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year. Beginning January 1, 2014, quarterly results reflect the three month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. This change aligned our fiscal year and interim reporting periods with our Central Europe business and MillerCoors, which were already following a monthly fiscal reporting calendar. Unless otherwise indicated, and with the exception of the Central Europe business and Miller Coors, the second quarter of 2013 and the three months ended June 29, 2013, refer to the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2013. The first half of 2013 and the six months ended June 29, 2013, refer to the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2013. The second quarter and first half of 2014 refer to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Fiscal year 2014 refers to the 12 months ending December 31, 2014, and fiscal year 2013 refers to the period from December 30, 2012, to December 31, 2013. The impact of the additional days in fiscal year 2013 is immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Change in Interim Period Accounting for Advertising Expenses

Effective beginning the first quarter of 2014, we changed our method of accounting for advertising expenses during interim periods. The change has been applied retrospectively to all prior interim periods, and advertising expense for such interim periods has been recast within our current quarterly financial statements. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the change in accounting policy, as well as a summary of the impact to fiscal year 2013 quarterly consolidated and segment results.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), we also present pretax and after-tax "underlying income," "underlying income per diluted share," "underlying effective tax rate," and "underlying free cash flow," which are non-GAAP measures and should be viewed as supplements to (not substitutes for) our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. We also present underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("underlying EBITDA") as a non-GAAP measure. Our management uses underlying income, underlying income per diluted share, underlying EBITDA, underlying effective tax rate and underlying free cash flow as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis;

Table of Contents

as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations; in communications with the board of directors, stockholders, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance; as useful comparisons to the performance of our competitors; and as metrics of certain management incentive compensation calculations. We believe that underlying income, underlying income per diluted share, underlying EBITDA, underlying effective tax rate and underlying free cash flow performance are used by and are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because they provide an additional tool to evaluate our performance without regard to special and non-core items, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and capital structure. We have provided reconciliations of all non-GAAP measures to their nearest U.S. GAAP measures and have consistently applied the adjustments within our reconciliations in arriving at each non-GAAP measure. These adjustments consist of special items from our U.S. GAAP financial statements (see Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes for additional discussion) as well as other non-core items, such as acquisition and integration related costs, unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, and gains and losses on sales of non-operating assets, included in our U.S. GAAP results that warrant adjustment to arrive at non-GAAP results. We consider these items to be necessary adjustments for purposes of evaluating our ongoing business performance and are often considered non-recurring. Such adjustments are subjective and involve significant management judgment.

In addition to the non-GAAP measures noted above, 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. 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. The STR metric is important because, unlike STWs, it provides the closest indication of the performance of our brands in relation to market and competitor sales trends.

Executive Summary

We are one of the world's largest brewers and have a diverse portfolio of owned and partner brands, including signature brands Carling, Coors Light, Molson Canadian and Staropramen, as well as craft and specialty beers such as Blue Moon, Cobra, Creemore Springs and Doom Bar. For more than 350 combined years, we have been brewing, innovating and delighting the world's beer drinkers. Our success depends on our ability to make our products available to meet a wide range of consumer segments and occasions.

Second Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights:

Net income from continuing operations attributable to MCBC of $290.7 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, increased $25.1 million or 9.5%, primarily driven by overall improved underlying performance. Underlying after-tax income increased 7.9%, to $292.7 million, or $1.57 per diluted share. This growth was driven by improved performance by MillerCoors and our Europe segment, partially offset by Canada and MCI results. Additionally, lower interest expense contributed to the increase in underlying income, driven by a decrease in total debt outstanding of $907.9 million compared to June 29, 2013. We also grew underlying EBITDA by 4.0% and expanded gross, operating and after-tax margins. Our worldwide beer volume decreased 0.9%, while net sales increased 0.9%. Additionally, we generated $331.7 million in underlying free cash flow during the second quarter of 2014, which represents a decrease in cash generated of $34.1 million from the prior year, driven by higher working capital, partially offset by higher net income. During the quarter we continued to build a larger and stronger brand portfolio that is delivering value-added innovation, continued investment in our core brands, and increased our share in above premium. As a result, we achieved positive pricing and mix, resulting in higher net sales in the quarter. We also continued to improve our operations by reducing costs, implementing common processes, and focusing on generating higher returns on our invested capital, managing our working capital and ensuring a greater return on investment for our shareholders.

Regional financial highlights include:

•

In our Canada segment, income from continuing operations before income taxes and underlying pretax income decreased 6.1% and 6.5% to $120.8 million and $120.9 million, respectively. Both income from continuing operations before income taxes and underlying pretax income were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency movements, along with the loss of the Modelo brands as a result of the termination of the Molson Modelo Imports L.P. ("MMI") joint venture this year. These factors were partially offset by cost savings in the quarter.

Table of Contents


•	In our U.S. segment, equity income in MillerCoors increased 10.1% to $190.1 million and underlying equity income in MillerCoors increased 10.3% to $190.3 million, both increases driven by positive pricing, sales mix and cost savings.

•

In our Europe segment, income from continuing operations before income taxes of $84.5 million increased 11.5% and underlying pre-tax income of $86.8 million increased 13.3%, both increases driven by cost savings and positive geographic mix, along with favorable foreign currency movements. These factors offset the negative impacts of the severe flooding that occurred in the Balkans region during the second quarter.


•	In our MCI segment, loss from continuing operations before income taxes improved 7.5% to $3.7 million, due to cycling the $0.8 million special charge related to our China joint venture in the second quarter of 2013. Underlying pretax loss increased 19.4% to $3.7 million due to higher marketing investments, which drove strong double-digit top-line growth.

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

Core brand highlights include:


•	Carling, the number one beer brand in the U.K. and the largest brand in our Europe segment, continued to grow volume during the second quarter of 2014.

•

Coors Light global volume (including our proportional percentage of MillerCoors' Coors Light volumes) increased 4.8% versus the second quarter of 2013. The overall volume increase was primarily driven by significant increases in the U.K., Mexico and Latin America, partially offset by slight decreases in Canada and the U.S. We continue to implement plans developed to reverse the negative volume trends in Canada and the U.S.


•	Molson Canadian volume in Canada remained consistent with the second quarter of 2013.


•	Staropramen volume decreased overall versus the second quarter of 2013 as a result of lower volumes in Russia and Ukraine related to political and economic turmoil. Despite severe flooding in Central Europe this year, above-premium Staropramen (outside of Czech Republic) maintained volume in the region.

(1)	Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.


(2)	See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Special Items" of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The six months ended June 30, 2014 includes the $4.9 million write-off of the remaining carrying value of the Molson Modelo L.P. ("MMI") definite-lived intangible asset, recognized as accelerated amortization expense.


(3)	See "Results of Operations" - "United States Segment" - "Special Items, net" below for additional information. The tax effect related to our share of MillerCoors special items was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.


(4)	In connection with the Acquisition, we recognized fees in marketing, general and administrative expenses of $2.1 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, of which $0.5 million was recorded as depreciation expense for the three months ended June 29, 2013.

(5)

During the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, we recognized an unrealized gain of $3.2 million and an unrealized loss of $26.5 million, respectively, recorded as interest expense related to changes in the fair value of the conversion feature on the €500 million convertible note. Within other income (expense), we recorded unrealized gains of $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, and an unrealized loss of $10.1 million and gain of $10.0 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, related to foreign currency movements on the

Table of Contents

€500 million convertible note. We additionally recorded unrealized gains of $3.9 million and losses of $6.7 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, related to foreign exchange contracts entered into to hedge our risk associated with the payment of this foreign denominated debt. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt" and Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Additionally, the changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships 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. Related to these derivatives, we recorded unrealized gains of $1.4 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and unrealized losses of $0.9 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively.


(6)	In the first quarter of 2014, we recognized a gain of $11.3 million within marketing, general and administrative expenses related to the release of an indirect tax reserve recorded in conjunction with the initial purchase accounting for the Acquisition and is related to the settlement of certain local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods.

In the first quarter of 2013, we recognized a gain of $1.2 million within other income for proceeds received related to a non-income-related tax settlement resulting from historical activity within our former investment in the Montréal Canadiens.

(7)

The effect of taxes on the adjustments used to arrive at underlying income, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated based on applying the estimated underlying full-year effective tax rate to actual underlying earnings, excluding special and non-core items. The effect of taxes on special and non-core items is calculated based on the statutory tax rate applicable to the item being adjusted for in the jurisdiction from which each adjustment arises. Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2014, includes an income tax benefit of $16.2 million recognized in the first quarter of 2014 related to the release of an income tax reserve recorded in conjunction with the initial purchase accounting for the Acquisition and is related to the settlement of certain local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods.

Worldwide beer volume

Worldwide beer volume (including adjacencies, such as cider) is composed of our financial volume, royalty volume and proportionate share of equity investment sales-to-retail. 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 sales-to-retail brand volume represents our ownership percentage share of volume in our subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method, including MillerCoors and MMI, our former joint venture in Canada with Grupo Modelo S.A.B. de C.V. ("Modelo"). We finalized the termination of our MMI joint venture in the first quarter of 2014. As such, our worldwide beer volume for the six months ended June 30, 2014, includes our percentage share of volume in MMI through the transition period ended February 28,

(1)	Includes a portion of our MCI segment volume that is primarily in Russia, Ukraine and Mexico and a portion of our Europe segment volume in Republic of Ireland.


(2)	Reflects the addition of our proportionate share of equity method investments sales-to-retail for the periods presented.

Our worldwide beer volume decreased 0.9% and 0.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, primarily due to lower sales volume in Canada and the U.S., partially offset by higher owned volume in MCI and, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, higher volumes in Europe.

Income taxes

Our effective tax rates were approximately 11% and 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rates were 8% and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, have been adjusted to reflect the impact from the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion. 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 Canada and Europe businesses, tax planning strategies, as well as the discrete items further discussed below. The tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased versus the three months ended June 29, 2013, primarily due to decreased discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year as compared to 2013. Our total net discrete tax benefit was $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, of which approximately $21 million represents the net tax benefit arising from the implementation of our advanced pricing agreement between the U.S. and Canada tax authorities, as well as the reversal of the related unrecognized tax benefit, partially reduced by an immaterial out of period adjustment of our deferred tax liabilities of $8.7 million. The net discrete tax benefit reduced our quarterly effective tax rate by 4 percentage points. See Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 8, "Income Tax" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Our underlying effective tax rates, a non-GAAP measure, were approximately 11% and 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Our underlying effective tax rates were approximately 9% and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Our underlying effective tax rate was higher for the three months ended June 30, 2014, due to discrete tax benefits in the second quarter of 2013 that did not exist in 2014.

Foreign currency impact on results

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Canadian Dollar ("CAD") depreciated versus the USD on an average basis, resulting in a decrease of $6.3 million to both our USD earnings before income taxes and USD underlying pretax income, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the CAD also depreciated versus the USD on an average basis, resulting in a decrease of $14.2 million and $8.7 million to our USD earnings before income taxes and USD underlying pretax income, respectively.

Volume and net sales

Our Canada STRs decreased 3.1% and 4.2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, driven by the loss of the Modelo brands associated with the termination of the MMI joint venture. Our Canada sales volume decreased 2.0% and 3.4% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Our net sales per hectoliter increased 0.5% and 0.9% in local currency during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, driven by positive net pricing and mix.

Table of Contents

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold per hectoliter in local currency increased 0.5% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, driven by the loss of the Modelo brands and brewing and material inflation, partially offset by cost savings. Under the MMI arrangement, we recognized equity earnings within cost of goods sold of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and $4.5 million and $5.1 million during the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Our marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.0% and 5.5% in local currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, driven by lower marketing spend, along with cycling administrative cost recoveries from MMI. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, and three and six months ended June 29, 2013, MCC recognized administrative cost recoveries under our agency and services agreement with MMI of $0.7 million, $2.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

Special items, net

During the first quarter of 2014, we finalized the termination of our MMI joint venture and concurrently recognized a charge of $4.9 million for the accelerated amortization of the remaining carrying value of our definite-lived intangible asset associated with the agreement, as well as recorded a gain of $63.2 million for the payment received upon termination. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized charges of $0.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively, associated with a restructuring program focused on labor savings across all functions. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, we recognized restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as well as special termination charges of $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as eligible employees elected to take early retirement. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Special Items" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Other income (expense), net

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized foreign currency gains of $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to movements on foreign denominated transactions. In the first quarter of 2013, we recognized a $1.2 million gain for proceeds received related to a non-income-related tax settlement resulting from historical activity within our former investment in the Montréal Canadiens, partially offset by foreign currency losses of $0.2 million related to movements on foreign denominated transactions.

Volume and net sales

MillerCoors domestic STRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, declined 1.2% and 2.2%, respectively. Domestic STWs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively.

Domestic net sales per hectoliter, which excludes contract brewing and company-owned distributor sales, increased 3.6% and 3.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, primarily due to favorable net pricing and positive brand mix. Total net sales per hectoliter, including contract brewing and company-owned distributor sales, increased 3.1% and 3.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Contract brewing volumes increased 6.4% and 1.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold per hectoliter increased 1.9% and 2.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was driven primarily by brand mix, as cost savings offset inflation. The six months ended June 30, 2014, were also impacted by higher costs associated with brand innovation.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 0.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, driven primarily by higher media investment and employee related expenses. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, driven primarily by the timing of marketing investments and lower employee related expenses.

Special items, net of tax

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, MillerCoors recognized restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The tax effect of MillerCoors special items was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Gross segment sales include intercompany sales to MCI consisting of $1.5 million of net sales and 0.016 million hectoliters and $2.7 million of net sales and 0.029 million hectoliters for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Gross segment sales include intercompany sales to MCI consisting of $1.4 million of net sales and 0.016 million hectoliters and $2.2 million of net sales and 0.037 million hectoliters for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively. The offset is included within MCI cost of goods sold. These amounts are eliminated in the consolidated totals.


(3)	Interest income is earned on trade loans to on-premise customers exclusively in the U.K. and is typically driven by note receivable balances outstanding from period to period.

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 favorably impacted our Europe USD income from continuing operations before income taxes and USD underlying pre-tax income by $4.8 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Foreign currency movements favorably impacted our Europe USD income from continuing operations before income taxes and USD underlying pre-tax income by $8.0 million and $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

Volume and net sales

Europe sales volume decreased 1.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2014, as severe weather in the Balkans region resulted in significant flooding throughout the area, adversely impacting our markets in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Bulgaria. Consumer demand was also weak in Romania due to poor weather in the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2013. Lower volume in these markets was partially offset by strong growth in the U.K., Hungary and Czech Republic. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Europe sales volume increased 1.4%, as the negative impact of the floods in the second quarter was more than offset by positive performance in the majority of our markets in the first quarter of 2014. See Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the potential impact of the floods.

Net sales per hectoliter increased in local currency by 1.9% and 0.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, primarily driven by positive geographic mix, primarily related to higher sales in the U.K.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold per hectoliter decreased 0.3% and 3.5% in local currency in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as a result of cost savings and lower logistics expense. Cost of goods sold per hectoliter was further decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2014, by fixed-cost leverage in the first quarter of 2014.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 2.3% and decreased 1.9% in local currency during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The increase in the second quarter is primarily due to increased marketing and sales investments, partially offset by cost savings. The increase in marketing and sales investments during the six months ended June 30, 2014, was more than offset by a non-core gain related to the favorable resolution of an indirect-tax reserve during the first quarter of 2014.

Special items, net

During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded losses and incurred costs of $1.8 million in our Europe business associated with significant flooding in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized charges of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, associated with a restructuring program focused on labor savings across all functions. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, we recognized a restructuring benefit of $0.3 million and charge of $3.0 million, respectively. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2013, we recognized gains of $4.2 million related to the full release of the remaining portion of a non-income-related-tax reserve that was recorded as a special charge in 2009.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense) changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, are due to the impact of foreign currency movements on foreign denominated transactions.

The offset is included within Europe net sales. These amounts are eliminated in the consolidated totals.

Foreign currency impact on results

Our MCI segment operates in numerous countries around the world, and each country's operations utilize distinct currencies. MCI's USD losses before income taxes and USD underlying pre-tax loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, were not significantly impacted by foreign currency movements.

Volume and net sales

Including royalty volumes, MCI total sales volume increased 21.6% and 18.2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, due to strong Coors Light growth in Mexico and Latin America, significant growth in India, and the addition of the Australia market, partially offset by continued industry weakness in our Ukraine and Russia license markets.

Net sales per hectoliter decreased 6.7% and 0.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily driven by geographic mix and foreign currency movements. The decrease in net sales per hectoliter in the six months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by higher net pricing in China, the addition of Australia, and contract brewing sales in India, which began in the second quarter of 2013.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold per hectoliter decreased 6.5% and 0.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, due to fixed-cost leverage in India from higher volumes, along with foreign currency movements. Additionally, the decrease in cost of goods

sold per hectoliter in the six months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by the addition of Australia and contract brewing volume in India, which began in the second quarter of 2013.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 23.5% to $20.0 million and 11.3% to $34.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, driven by higher marketing investments. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2014, was partially offset by lower overhead expenses.

Marketing, general and administrative expenses

Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.9% to $26.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily related to timing. Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased 8.8% to $53.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, driven in part by higher acquisition related costs in the first quarter of 2013.

Special items, net

During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized charges of $0.3 million associated with a restructuring program focused on labor savings across all functions. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, we recognized restructuring charges of $0.3 million. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 6, "Special Items" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Interest expense, net

Net interest expense decreased 11.8% to $37.4 million and 37.6% to $73.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These decreases are driven by our ongoing efforts focused on deleveraging over the last year, which resulted in lower interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings. Additionally, the three and six months ended June 29,

Table of Contents

2013, include the change in fair value on the conversion feature related to the €500 million convertible note for which we recognized an unrealized gain of $3.2 million and an unrealized loss of $26.5 million, respectively.

Other income (expense), net

Other expense was $0.1 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily driven by foreign exchange movements on foreign denominated transactions. Included in this amount are unrealized gains of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, related to foreign currency movements on foreign-denominated financing instruments entered into in conjunction with the closing of the Acquisition.

Other expense was $6.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, primarily driven by foreign exchange movements. Included in this amount is an unrealized loss of $10.1 million and unrealized gain of $10.0 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, related to foreign currency movements on foreign-denominated financing instruments entered into in conjunction with the closing of the Acquisition. This was partially offset by an unrealized gain of $3.9 million and unrealized loss of $6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, related to foreign exchange contracts to hedge our risk associated with payments of this foreign-denominated debt. See Note 12, "Debt" and Note 14, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further discussion of financing activities related to the Acquisition. Additionally, we recorded a $0.1 million net gain and $3.8 million net loss for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, which include losses of $1.3 million and $5.6 million, respectively, related to other foreign exchange activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash provided by operating activities, access to external borrowings and monetization of assets. 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 and capital expenditures for the next twelve months, and our long-term liquidity requirements. 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, 2014, approximately 85% 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. 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, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 29, 2013, we had debt-free net working capital of positive $140.2 million, negative $36.8 million and positive $423.8 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, British Pound, Euro, Czech Koruna, Croatian Kuna, Serbian Dinar, New Romanian Leu, Bulgarian Lev and Hungarian Forint, while financial results are reported in USD. Below is a table outlining our current and historical net working capital levels:



	As of
	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013(1)			June 29, 2013
	(In millions)
Current assets	$	1,800.3		$	1,537.7		$	2,071.3
Less: Current liabilities	(2,111.7		)	(2,161.4		)	(2,919.9		)
Add: Current portion of long-term debt and short-term borrowings	451.6			586.9			1,272.4
Net working capital	$	140.2		$	(36.8	)	$	423.8


(1)	Current liabilities as of December 31, 2013, have been adjusted to reflect the correction of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. See Part I-Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

The decrease in net working capital from $423.8 million at June 29, 2013, to $140.2 million at June 30, 2014, is primarily related to a net reduction in our cash balances due to the repayment of the $575 million 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes ("$575 million convertible bonds") and the settlement of the €500 million convertible note (less the €10.9 million withheld as of March 31, 2014) in the third quarter of 2013. The reduction in our cash balances due to debt repayments was partially offset by increases in cash related to an increase in accounts payable and accrued trade payables as we have increased our focus on managing working capital through increased vendor terms, in addition to cash raised through issuances under our commercial paper program during the second half of 2013, of which we have an outstanding balance of $301.1 million at June 30, 2014. See additional discussion below and Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the current portion of long-term debt and short-term borrowings.

The increase in net working capital from negative $36.8 million at December 31, 2013, to positive $140.2 million at June 30, 2014, is due to an increase in current receivables, inventory and cash, driven by seasonality of working capital movements, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued trade payables.

Cash Flows

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.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of $576.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $15.0 million compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013. This decrease was due to higher net working capital, offset by higher net income, adjusted for increased non-cash add-backs, along with lower cash paid for pension contributions, interest, taxes and restructuring.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $194.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, decreased by $50.8 million compared to the six months ended June 29, 2013, driven by lower capital expenditures and lower net investments in MillerCoors.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $323.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased by $179.0 million compared to the $144.1 million used in financing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2013.

Table of Contents

•

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had additional net payments on revolving credit facilities and commercial paper of $211.4 million primarily driven by net repayments on our commercial paper of $78.7 million and reducing our Euro-denominated revolving credit facility to zero. Additionally, our overdraft balances on our Europe segment's notional cross-border, cross currency cash pool and outstanding borrowings related to factoring arrangements within our Europe business increased by $132.8 million, including foreign exchange impacts, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 in comparison to the six months ended June 29, 2013. We were not in an overdraft position as of December 29, 2012 or as of June 29, 2013 and thus the net overdraft activity was zero for the six months ended June 29, 2013.


•	During the first half of 2014, we released $61.4 million (€44.9 million) of the amounts previously withheld on the €500 million convertible note to the Seller, compared to the repayment of our Euro denominated term loan of $52.0 million during the second quarter of 2013.


•	Additionally, in the first quarter of 2014, we settled the final remaining cross currency swaps for $65.2 million, which were extended and designated as a net investment hedge in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to only $35.1 million in net interest and notional payments made during the six months ended June 29, 2013.


•	The increase in cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was also due to a $37.6 million decrease in the proceeds from exercise of stock options, including excess tax benefits, as well as a $19.9 million increase in dividends paid.

Underlying Free Cash Flow

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we generated $331.7 million of underlying free cash flow due to normal seasonality. This represents a decrease of $34.1 million from the six months ended June 29, 2013, driven by higher net working capital, partially offset by higher net income, after considering non-cash adjustments, along with increased returns from our investment in MillerCoors, lower cash paid for capital expenditures, pension contributions, interest, taxes and the cash impact of special items, in the first half of 2014.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Underlying Free Cash Flow to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure (net cash provided by operating activities):

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of June 30, 2014, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $506.0 million, compared to $442.3 million at December 31, 2013, and $801.6 million at June 29, 2013. The decrease versus June 29, 2013 was driven by the use of a

Table of Contents

significant amount of cash to repay the debt obligations further discussed below. 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 a cash pooling arrangement to facilitate the access to cash across Europe.

Borrowings

The majority of our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2014, consisted of senior notes, with maturities ranging from 2015 to 2042. Long-term debt was $3,208.6 million, $3,213.0 million and $3,295.7 million at June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Not included in these amounts are current portions of long-term debt and short-term borrowings. Current portions of long-term debt were zero, $61.8 million, and $1,258.6 million as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Short-term borrowings, not including current portions of long-term debt, were $451.6 million, $525.1 million, and $13.8 million as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and June 29, 2013, respectively. 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, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program were $301.1 million and $379.8 million, respectively, with a weighted average effective interest rate and tenor for these outstanding borrowings of 0.38%; 29.6 days and 0.49%; 47.2 days, respectively. Based on the credit profile of our lenders that are party to our credit facilities, we are confident in our ability to draw on such credit facilities if the need arises. During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a five-year, $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility which provides a $100 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit. This $750 million revolving facility replaced our existing $400 million and $550 million revolving credit facilities, which had maturities in the second quarters of 2015 and 2016, respectively. As a result, we made a reduction to the size of our existing commercial paper program to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $750 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under our $750 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2014, or under our pre-existing credit facilities upon termination or as of December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, we have $448.9 million available to draw on under our $750 million revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program. We also have uncommitted lines of credit with several banks should we need additional short-term liquidity. We have a revolving credit facility in Europe to provide €150 million on an uncommitted basis through September 2014.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2014, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to the volatility of the interest rates associated with future interest payments on a forecasted debt issuance and also entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert a portion of our fixed rate $500 million note to floating rate debt. See Note 11, "Debt" and Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.

Under the terms of some 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. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations.

Use of Cash

As discussed above, during the first half of 2014, we released the final principal payments of €44.9 million ($61.4 million at settlement) for amounts withheld on the €500 million convertible note. Additionally, during the first half of 2014 we had net repayments of $78.7 million and $137.4 million under our commercial paper program and our Euro-denominated revolving credit facility, respectively. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

In the first half of 2014, we also early settled the final CAD 241 million notional of our outstanding currency swaps designated as a net investment hedge of our Canadian operations for $65.2 million. As of June 30, 2014, we no longer have cross currency swap positions outstanding. See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 11, "Debt" and Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

As we continue to evaluate opportunities to deleverage, we may consider additional prepayment of our debt.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we made contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of $23.8 million.

In 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1.2 billion of our Class A and Class B common stock. There were no repurchases in fiscal year 2013 or in the first half of 2014, and we do not expect further repurchases until our debt ratios return closer to levels maintained prior to the financing activities related to the Acquisition.

Credit Rating

Our current long-term credit ratings are BBB-/Positive Outlook, Baa2/Stable Outlook, BBB/Stable Outlook and BBB/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-2, F2 and R-2, respectively. The BBB-/Positive Outlook rating from Standard & Poor's is one notch above "below investment grade." 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.

MillerCoors

MillerCoors distributes its excess cash to its owners, SABMiller and MCBC, on a 58%/42% basis, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, MillerCoors had cash of $15.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, MillerCoors total debt was $9.7 million and $10.6 million, respectively. There are no restrictions from external sources on its ability to make cash distributions to its owners.

MillerCoors recognized $77.4 million and $69.7 million of depreciation and amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively, and $156.5 million and $139.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively.

MillerCoors contributed $64.5 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2014. For 2014, MillerCoors' contributions to its defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $90 million to $110 million (our 42% share is $38 million to $46 million), which are not included in our contractual cash obligations.

MillerCoors delivered incremental cost savings of approximately $82 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. We benefit from 42% of the MillerCoors cost savings.

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 17, "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 exchange rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, 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.

Capital Expenditures

We spent $126.4 million on capital improvement projects worldwide in the six months ended June 30, 2014, excluding capital spending by MillerCoors and other equity method joint ventures, representing a decrease of $23.3 million from the $149.7 million of capital expenditures in the six months ended June 29, 2013. We expect to incur total capital expenditures for 2014 of approximately $315 million based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2014, excluding capital spending by MillerCoors and other equity method joint ventures. 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.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Contractual Cash Obligations as of June 30, 2014

A summary of our consolidated contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2014, and based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2014, is as follows:



	Payments due by period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3 - 5 years		More than 5 years

See Part I - Item 1.

(1)

The "debt obligations" line item includes the principal payment obligations related to our short-term commercial paper borrowings assuming repayment at maturity, as well as other short-term borrowings assuming repayment in the next twelve months. The "interest payments on debt obligations" line item includes floating-rate interest payments estimated using interest rates effective as of June 30, 2014, as appropriate. The "debt obligations" line item excludes unamortized discounts and adjustments for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate, and also excludes capital leases obligations which are immaterial for the current quarter.

Table of Contents

(2)

Represents expected contributions under our defined benefit pension plans in the next twelve months and our benefits payments under postretirement benefit plans for all periods presented. The net unfunded liability at June 30, 2014, of our defined benefit pension plans (excluding our overfunded plans) and postretirement benefit plans is $292.8 million and $162.5 million, respectively. Contributions in future fiscal years will vary as a result of a number of factors, including actual plan asset returns and interest rates, and as such, have been excluded from the above table. We fund pension plans to meet the requirements set forth in applicable employee benefits laws. We may also voluntarily increase funding levels to meet financial goals. Excluding MillerCoors, BRI and BDL, we expect to make contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of approximately $35 million, based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2014, and benefit payments for our other postretirement benefit plans of approximately $10 million in 2014.

Our U.K. pension plan is subject to a statutory valuation for funding purposes every three years. The valuation as of June 30, 2013, was completed during the first quarter of 2014. The valuation resulted in a long-term funding commitment plan consisting of an MCBC guarantee of a GBP 150 million lump-sum contribution to be made in 2015 and GBP 24 million annual contributions to be made from January 2017 through December 2026. We have taken numerous steps in recent years to reduce our exposure to these long-term pension obligations, including the closure of the U.K. pension plan to future earning of service credit in early 2009 and benefit modifications in several of our Canada plans. However, given the net liability of these plans and their dependence upon the global financial markets for their financial health, the plans will continue to periodically require potentially significant amounts of cash funding.

(3)

The "other long-term obligations" line primarily includes non-cancellable purchase commitments as of June 30, 2014, that are enforceable and legally binding, the majority of the balance relating to commitments associated with our distribution agreements, long-term supply contracts with third parties to purchase raw materials, packaging materials and energy used in production and commitments for advertising and promotions, including sports sponsorships. The remaining amounts relate to sales and marketing, distribution, information technology services, open purchase orders, payment obligations to be paid to counterparties under our derivative contracts and other commitments. Included in other long-term obligations are $61.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits and $18.5 million of indemnities provided to FEMSA for which we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of future cash flows, and therefore we have included these amounts in the longer than five year bucket.

Other commercial commitments as of June 30, 2014

Contingencies

We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, environmental litigation and indemnities associated with our sale of Kaiser to FEMSA. See 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 19, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report for further discussion of these off-balance sheet arrangements. As of June 30, 2014, 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 2014

In the second half of 2014, we will continue to drive organizational focus on cash generation, raising returns on capital, and delivering total shareholder return. We also intend to continue to invest in our core brands, innovation and above premium to deliver long-term returns to our shareholders.

In Canada, we have more retail channel and in-case promotional activity for Coors Light this summer, and our latest Molson Canadian advertising is working well, with the Beer Fridge campaign continuing to exceed expectations. We also have a strong innovation pipeline led by the expansion of Coors Banquet, which was introduced into the Quebec market at the end of

Table of Contents

July, along with the recent roll out of Mad Jack Apple Ale, Molson Canadian Cider and Molson Canadian 67 Tangerine to new markets. Looking to the second half of this year, we anticipate that the termination of our MMI joint venture for the distribution of the Modelo brands across Canada will continue to significantly impact our volume and profit performance, as we will be cycling equity earnings and administrative cost recoveries totaling CAD 6.0 million and CAD 4.4 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2013, respectively. Other expected difficulties in the second half of 2014 include the increase in excise taxes in Quebec, effective August 1, 2014, the impact of cycling unusually low incentive compensation expense in the third quarter of 2013 and expected unfavorable foreign currency versus last year.

In the U.S., we are executing our strategy to migrate our portfolio to the above premium, bringing consumers exciting new innovations and craft brands that satisfy consumers' search for authenticity, new flavors and styles. We will be developing new advertising for Coors Light and changing all Miller Lite packaging and signage to the original white design that has worked well on the can. We will also launch and support Redd's Wicked Ale. General and administrative expenses are also expected to increase as we continue to make progress against our business transformation initiative, which we believe will provide a strong foundation for growth in future years. As a result, we expect marketing expenses to be higher in the second half and full year 2014 versus 2013.

Our Europe segment was disproportionately affected by the flooding in the Balkans region in the second quarter, and we are expecting the aftermath of the floods to impact our volume and profit for at least the second half of 2014. We also anticipate less benefit from overhead cost reductions in the second half of the year. Despite weather challenges and weak consumer demand in Central Europe, our team continues to improve our brand health and sales execution across Europe, and we anticipate a return to positive market share performance in the second half of 2014.

Our International segment plans to continue to drive strong growth in Coors Light, expand key brands in select markets, and make additional progress towards its goal of achieving profitability by 2016.

Across all of our segments, we anticipate higher brand investments in the second half of 2014 versus last year.

We expect 2014 marketing, general and administrative expense in Corporate to be approximately $110 million, excluding foreign exchange movements.

We currently anticipate approximately $35 million of cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2014, based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2014. MillerCoors, BRI and BDL pension expense and contributions to their respective defined benefit pension plans are excluded here, as they are not consolidated in our financial statements.

Interest

We anticipate 2014 consolidated net interest expense of approximately $135 million, based on foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2014.

Tax

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 or positions are otherwise effectively settled. In April 2014, we finalized our advanced pricing agreement between the U.S. and Canada tax authorities, which resulted in a decrease to our 2014 full year effective tax rate. We expect our 2014 underlying tax rate to be in the range of 12% to 16% and near the low end of our long-term range of 20% to 24% for 2015, assuming no further changes in tax laws, settlement of tax audits, or adjustments to our uncertain tax positions. 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 underlying effective tax rate.

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 2014. Additionally, refer to Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of risks related to our indefinite-lived intangible brand assets and goodwill amounts associated with our reporting units.

Revenue Recognition

See Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements, 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- 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, 2014, are as follows:



Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years			3 - 5 years		More than 5 years
(In millions)
$	7.4	$	6.4	$	(0.2	)	$	—	$	1.2

Sensitivity Analysis

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

Table of Contents

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 portfolios:



	As of
	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
	(In millions)
Estimated fair value volatility
Foreign currency risk:
Forwards	$	(61.3	)	$	(69.2	)
Commodity Swaps	$	(2.6	)	$	(16.7	)
Interest Rate Swaps	$	(0.1	)	$	—

Interest Rate Swaps	$	(167.1	)	$	(1.8	)
Commodity price risk:
Commodity Swaps	$	(7.4	)	$	(7.4	)

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, 2014, 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, 2014, 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

In December 2012, Miller Brewing Company (“Miller”) orally informed us of its intent to terminate the license agreement between Miller and us whereby we have exclusive rights to distribute certain Miller products in Canada (the “License Agreement”) including Miller Lite, Miller High Life, Milwaukee's Best, Mickey's, Olde English, Miller Genuine Draft, and Miller Chill. Miller alleges that we failed to meet certain volume sales targets under the License Agreement. We do not believe Miller has any right under the License Agreement or otherwise to terminate the License Agreement. We filed a lawsuit in Ontario, Canada (Molson Canada 2005 v. Miller Brewing Company, Sup. Ct. of Justice-Ontario, CV-12-470589) seeking an injunction preventing Miller from terminating the License Agreement and ordering Miller to abide by its contractual terms. On January 18, 2013, Miller sent written notice to us purporting to terminate the License Agreement. On June 20, 2013, we were granted an injunction preventing Miller's termination of the License Agreement, pending a trial on the merits, originally scheduled for December 2013. During December 2013, upon completion of discovery and exchange of affidavits, both parties

Table of Contents

requested an extension of the trial and entered into private settlement discussions. The parties have been unable to reach a settlement at this time. On May 2, 2014, the court set a new trial date for early November 2014.

At trial we intend to vigorously assert and defend our rights in this lawsuit. The ultimate outcome of the litigation could result in a materially different outcome than currently estimated by management, including the potential of further impairment, or possible recovery of previously impaired amounts. At this time we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or the impact, if any, of an adverse outcome on our business and results of operations, including any possible future asset impairment. We recognized net sales related to the License Agreement of $25.5 million and $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively, and net sales of $39.4 million and $47.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and June 29, 2013, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, we had a definite-lived intangible asset related to the License Agreement with a carrying value of $32.0 million and a remaining life of approximately three years.

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 is 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. 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.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved and authorized a program to repurchase up to $1.2 billion of our Class A and Class B common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The number, price, and timing of the repurchases will be at our sole discretion and will be evaluated depending on market conditions, liquidity needs or other factors. Our Board of Directors may suspend, modify, or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. We did not make any share repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
