THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

A.Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The Boston Beer Company, Inc. and certain subsidiaries (the “Company”) are engaged in the business of selling alcohol beverages throughout the United States and in selected international markets, under the trade names “The Boston Beer Company®”, “Twisted Tea Brewing Company®”, “Hard Seltzer Beverage Company”, “Angry Orchard® Cider Company”, “Dogfish Head® Craft Brewery”, “Dogfish Head® Craft Distillery”, “Angel City® Brewing Company”, “Coney Island® Brewing Company” and “American Fermentation Company”.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 26, 2021, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 26, 2021 and the results of its condensed consolidated operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented.  The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Among the reclassifications is the separate presentation of third-party production prepayments.

As the COVID-19 pandemic slowly winds down, the Company’s primary focus continues to be on operating its breweries and business safely and working hard to meet customer demand.  The Company is very proud of the passion, creativity and commitment to community that coworkers demonstrated during this pandemic.  The Company began seeing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business in early March 2020.  The direct financial impact of the pandemic primarily included significantly reduced keg demand from the on-premise channel and higher labor and safety-related costs at the Company’s breweries. In addition to these direct financial impacts, COVID-19 related safety measures resulted in a reduction of brewery productivity. This has shifted more volume to third-party breweries, which increased production costs and negatively impacted gross margin rates.  In the first half of 2020, the Company recorded COVID-19 related pre-tax reductions in net revenue and increases in other costs that total $14.1 million of which $10.0 million was recorded in the first quarter and $4.1 million was recorded in the second quarter.  The total amount consists of a $5.8 million reduction in net revenue for estimated keg returns from distributors and retailers and $8.3 million for inventory write-downs for obsolescence, increased costs for health and safety, increased salaries and benefits and other COVID-19 related direct costs, of which $5.6 million are recorded in cost of goods sold and $2.7 million are recorded in operating expenses.  In 2021 and going forward, the Company will not report COVID-19 related direct costs separately as they are viewed to be a normal part of operations.

D.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard includes multiple key provisions, including removal of certain exceptions to ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and recorded an adjustment of $0.1 million to retained earnings. .

E. Revenue Recognition

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, approximately 95% of the Company’s revenue was from shipments of its products to domestic distributors, 4% from shipments to international distributors, primarily located in Canada, and less than 1% was from retail beer, cider, and merchandise sales at the Company’s retail locations.    

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue until all conditions are met. As of June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company has deferred $17.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in revenue related to product shipped prior to these dates.  These amounts are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

 

Customer promotional discount programs are entered into by the Company with distributors for certain periods of time.  The reimbursements for discounts to distributors are recorded as reductions to net revenue and were $18.4 million and $41.8 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, respectively, and were $20.4 million and $28.6 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, respectively. The agreed-upon discount rates are applied to certain distributors' sales to retailers, based on volume metrics, in order to determine the total discounted amount.  The computation of the discount allowance requires that management make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the timing and amounts of revenue and liabilities recorded.  Actual promotional discounts owed and paid have historically been in line with allowances recorded by the Company; however, the amounts could differ from the estimated allowance.

Customer programs and incentives are a common practice in the alcohol beverage industry. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses, based on the nature of the expenditure.  Customer incentives and other payments made to distributors are primarily based upon performance of certain marketing and advertising activities.  Depending on applicable state laws and regulations, these activities promoting the Company's products may include, but are not limited to point-of-sale and merchandise placement, samples, product displays, promotional programs at retail locations and meals, travel and entertainment. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs that were recorded as reductions to revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 were $13.2 million and $23.3 million, respectively.  For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 the Company recorded certain of these costs in the total amounts of $10.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, as reductions to net revenue. Amounts paid to customers in connection with these programs for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020 were $5.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively.  For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded certain of these costs in the total amount of $4.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively as reductions to net revenue. Costs recognized in net revenues include, but are not limited to, promotional discounts, sales incentives and certain other promotional activities. Costs recognized in advertising, promotional and selling expenses include point of sale materials, samples and media advertising expenditures in local markets.  These costs are recorded as incurred, generally when invoices are received; however certain estimates are required at the period end.  Estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of program or customer and have historically been in line with actual costs incurred.

 

F. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods.  Raw materials, which principally consist of hops, flavorings, apple juice, other brewing materials and packaging, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. The Company’s goal is to maintain on hand a supply of at least one year for essential hop varieties, in order to limit the risk of an unexpected reduction in supply. Inventories are generally classified as current assets. The Company classifies hops inventory in excess of two years of forecasted usage in other long-term assets. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead.  Inventories consist of the following:

G.Third-party production prepayments

 

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company brewed and packaged approximately 54% of its volume at Company-owned breweries.  In the normal course of its business, the Company has historically entered into various production arrangements with other brewing companies.  Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company generally supplies raw materials and packaging to those brewing companies, and incurs conversion fees for labor at the time the liquid is produced and packaged. The Company has made

payments for capital improvements at these third-party brewing facilities that it expenses over the period of the contracts. As of June 26, 2021, and December 26, 2020 total third-party production prepayments were as follows:

Effective March 27, 2021, the Company began classifying third-party production prepayments solely as non-current assets and reclassed the $14.8 million of third-party production prepayments at December 26, 2020 from current assets to non-current assets. The Company will expense the total prepaid amount of $88.7 million as a component of cost of goods sold over the contractual period ending December 31, 2025.

 

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company entered into a master transaction agreement with one of its existing brewing services providers to ensure access to capacity at a new location and continued access at certain existing locations.  Upon the closing of the purchase of the new location by the third-party brewing services provider, the agreement became effective during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. As part of the master transaction agreement, the Company paid $10.0 million for capital improvements for the new location, which is included within the third-party production prepayments balance as of June 26, 2021. The Company is required to pay an additional $17.9 million to ensure access to capacity once certain conditions are met. The agreement additionally includes monthly shortfall fees beginning January 1, 2023.  

 

During the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as a result of lower than anticipated demand for certain Truly brand styles and packages, the Company adjusted its volume plans for production at certain third-party facilities. This adjustment is expected to result in shortfall fees related to one facility of $0.6 million of which has been expensed during the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021. Based on current production volume projections, the Company believes that it will meet all other future annual volume commitments under its third party production arrangements and will not incur any additional shortfall fees. If future volume projections are further reduced-below the minimum annual volume commitments and the Company estimates that shortfall fees will be incurred, the Company will expense the estimated shortfall fees in the period when incurring the shortfall fees becomes probable.  As of June 26, 2021, if volume for the remaining term of the production arrangements was zero, the contractual shortfall fees would total $63.4 million through December 31, 2026.

 

H.Net Income per Share

The Company calculates net income per share using the two-class method, which requires the Company to allocate net income to its Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares and unvested share-based payment awards that participate in dividends with common stock, in the calculation of net income per share.

The Class A Common Stock has no voting rights, except (1) as required by law, (2) for the election of Class A Directors, and (3) that the approval of the holders of the Class A Common Stock is required for (a) certain future authorizations or issuances of additional securities which have rights senior to Class A Common Stock, (b) certain alterations of rights or terms of the Class A or Class B Common Stock as set forth in the Articles of Organization of the Company, (c) other amendments of the Articles of Organization of the Company, (d) certain mergers or consolidations with, or acquisitions of, other entities, and (e) sales or dispositions of any significant portion of the Company’s assets.

The Class B Common Stock has full voting rights, including the right to (1) elect a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and (2) approve all (a) amendments to the Company’s Articles of Organization, (b) mergers or consolidations with, or acquisitions of, other entities, (c) sales or dispositions of any significant portion of the Company’s assets, and (d) equity-based and other executive compensation and other significant corporate matters. The Company’s Class B Common Stock is not listed for trading.  Each share of the Class B Common Stock is freely convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock, upon request of the respective Class B holder, and participates equally in dividends.  

The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards include unvested shares (1) issued under the Company’s investment share program, which permits employees who have been with the Company for at least one year to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and to purchase those shares at a discount ranging from 20% to 40% below market value based on years of employment starting after two years of employment, and (2) awarded as restricted stock awards at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The investment shares and restricted stock awards generally vest over five years in equal number of shares.  The unvested shares participate equally in dividends.  See Note N for a discussion of the current year unvested stock awards and issuances.

Table of Contents

 

Included in the computation of net income per diluted common share are dilutive outstanding stock options and restricted stock that are vested or expected to vest.  At its discretion, the Board of Directors grants stock options and restricted stock to senior management and certain key employees.  The terms of the employee stock options are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.  To date, stock options granted to employees vest over various service periods and/or based on the attainment of certain performance criteria and generally expire after ten years. In December 2018, the Employee Equity Incentive Plan was amended to permit the grant of restricted stock units. The restricted stock units generally vest over four years in equal number of shares. Each restricted stock unit represents an unfunded and unsecured right to receive one share of Class A Stock upon satisfaction of the vesting criteria.  The unvested shares participate equally in dividends and are forfeitable. Prior to March 1, 2019, the Company granted restricted stock awards, generally vesting over five years in equal number of shares. The Company also grants stock options to its non-employee directors upon election or re-election to the Board of Directors.  The number of option shares granted to non-employee directors is calculated based on a defined formula and these stock options vest immediately upon grant and expire after ten years.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, in accordance with the treasury stock method, weighted-average stock options to purchase approximately 20,000 and 13,000 shares of Class A Common stock were outstanding but not included in computing dilutive income per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. In accordance with the two-class method, weighted average stock options to purchase approximately 23,000 and 16,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020 but not included in computing dilutive income per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive. Additionally, performance-based stock awards of approximately 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding as of June 26, 2021, but not included in computing diluted income per common share because the performance criteria of these awards were not met as of the end of the reporting period.

I.Comprehensive Income or Loss

Comprehensive income or loss represents net income or loss and foreign currency translation adjustment.  The foreign currency translation adjustments for the interim periods ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were not material.

due to decreases in number of shares exercised. The benefit of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, increased by $4.7 million to $9.0 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 as compared to $4.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to increases in stock price.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, excluding the impact of ASU 2016-09, increased to 26.6% from 26.4% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to an increase in state taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, excluding the impact of ASU 2016-09, increased to 26.1% from 25.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to an increase in state taxes.

L.Revolving Line of Credit

In March 2018, the Company amended its existing credit facility that provides for a $150.0 million revolving line of credit to extend the scheduled expiration date to March 31, 2023. As of June 26, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants to the lender under the credit facility and the full balance of $150.0 million under the line of credit was available to the Company for future borrowing.        

M.Fair Value Measures

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s money market funds are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The money market funds are invested substantially in United States Treasury and government securities.  The Company does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. Cash, receivables and payables are carried at their cost, which approximates fair value, because of their short-term nature.

At June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company had money market funds with a “Triple A” rated money market fund.  The Company considers the “Triple A” rated money market fund to be a large, highly-rated investment-grade institution.  As of June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $103.0 million and $163.3 million, respectively, including money market funds amounting to $100.7 million and $157.6 million, respectively.

Net revenue.  Net revenue increased by $150.7 million, or 33.3%, to $602.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $452.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily as a result of an increase in shipments.

Volume. Total shipment volume increased by 27.4% to 2,447,000 barrels for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to 1,921,000 barrels for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to increases in shipments of Truly Hard Seltzer, Twisted Tea, Samuel Adams and Dogfish Head brand products that were only partially offset by decreases in the Angry Orchard brand products.

Depletions, or sales by distributors to retailers, of the Company’s products for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021 increased by approximately 24% compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to increases in depletions of Truly Hard Seltzer, Twisted Tea, Samuel Adams and  Dogfish Head brand products that were only partially offset by decreases in the Angry Orchard brand products.

Shipment volume for the first half was significantly higher than depletions volume and resulted in higher distributor inventory as of June 26, 2021 when compared to June 27, 2020.  The Company believes distributor inventory as of June 26, 2021 averaged approximately 5 weeks on hand and was at an appropriate level for each of its brands except for Twisted Tea, which has significantly lower than planned distributor inventory levels for certain styles and packages. The Company expects wholesaler inventory levels in terms of weeks on hand to be between 3 and 7 weeks for the remainder of the year.

Net revenue per barrel. Net revenue per barrel increased by 4.7% to $246.35 per barrel for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $235.34 per barrel for the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to price increases and product mix.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold was $133.68 per barrel for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $126.23 per barrel for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.  The 2021 increase in cost of goods sold of $7.45 per barrel was primarily the result of higher processing and other costs due to increased production at third party breweries, partially offset by cost saving initiatives at Company-owned breweries.

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $112.67 per barrel for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $109.11 per barrel for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.

The Company includes freight charges related to the movement of finished goods from its manufacturing locations to distributor locations in its advertising, promotional and selling expense line item.  As such, the Company’s gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities that classify costs related to distribution differently.

Advertising, promotional and selling.  Advertising, promotional and selling expenses increased by $61.3 million, or 61.1%, to $161.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $100.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased brand investments of $41.2 million, mainly driven by higher media, production and local marketing costs and increased freight to distributors of $20.1 million that was primarily due to higher rates and volumes.

Advertising, promotional and selling expenses were 26.8% of net revenue, or $66.05 per barrel, for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to 22.2% of net revenue, or $52.23 per barrel, for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.  This increase per barrel is primarily due to advertising, promotional and selling expenses growing at a higher rate than shipments.  The Company invests in advertising and promotional campaigns that it believes will be effective, but there is no guarantee that such investments will generate sales growth.

The Company conducts certain advertising and promotional activities in its distributors’ markets, and the distributors make contributions to the Company for such efforts.  These amounts are included in the Company’s statements of comprehensive income as reductions to advertising, promotional and selling expenses.  Historically, contributions from distributors for advertising and promotional activities have amounted to between 2% and 3% of net sales.  The Company may adjust its promotional efforts in the distributors’ markets, if changes occur in these promotional contribution arrangements, depending on industry and market conditions.

General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 11.0%, to $33.0 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $29.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020.  The increase was primarily due to increases in external services and salaries and benefits costs.

Impairment of assets.  Impairment of long-lived assets increased by $0.2 million from the comparable period of 2020, primarily due to increased write-downs of brewery equipment at Company-owned breweries.

 

Income tax expense.  During the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company recorded a net income tax expense of $20.9 million which consists of $21.3 million income tax expenses partially offset by an $0.4 million tax benefit related to stock option exercises in accordance with ASU 2016-09.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2021, excluding the impact of ASU 2016-09, increased to 26.6% from 26.4% for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to an increase in state taxes.

Net revenue.  Net revenue increased by $365.2 million, or 46.7%, to $1,148.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $782.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily as a result of an increase in shipments.

Volume. Total shipment volume increased by 41.3% to 4,725,000 barrels for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to 3,345,000 barrels for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to increases in shipments of Truly Hard Seltzer, Twisted Tea, Samuel Adams and  Dogfish Head brand products that were only partially offset by decreases in the Angry Orchard brand products.

Depletions, or sales by distributors to retailers, of the Company’s products for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 increased by approximately 33% compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to increases in shipments of Truly Hard Seltzer, Twisted Tea, Samuel Adams and  Dogfish Head brand products that were only partially offset by decreases in the Angry Orchard brand products.

Net revenue per barrel. Net revenue per barrel increased by 3.8% to $242.96 per barrel for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $234.02 per barrel for the comparable period in 2020, primarily due to price increases and $5.8 million reduction to net revenue for estimated keg returns from distributors and retailers related to COVID-19 in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold was $131.77 per barrel for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $127.10 per barrel for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.  The 2021 increase in cost of goods sold of $4.67 per barrel was primarily the result of higher processing costs due to increased production at third-party breweries, partially offset by cost saving initiatives at the Company-owned breweries and $5.6 million of COVID-19 related direct costs recorded in cost of goods sold in the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.

Gross profit.  Gross profit was $111.19 per barrel for the twenty six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $106.92 per barrel for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.

Advertising, promotional and selling.  Advertising, promotional and selling expenses increased by $104.3 million, or 52.6%, to $302.5 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $198.2 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased brand investments of $62.2 million, mainly driven by higher media, production and local marketing costs and increased freight to distributors of $42.0 million that was primarily due to higher rates and volumes.

19


Table of Contents

 

Advertising, promotional and selling expenses were 26.4% of net revenue, or $64.02 per barrel, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to 22.2% of net revenue, or $59.27 per barrel, for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.  This increase per barrel is primarily due to advertising, promotional and selling expenses growing at a higher rate than shipments.  The Company invests in advertising and promotional campaigns that it believes will be effective, but there is no guarantee that such investments will generate sales growth.

General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased by $8.2 million, or 14.4%, to $64.9 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $56.7 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.  The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and external services.

Impairment of assets.  Impairment of long-lived assets decreased $1.1 million from the first half of 2020, primarily due to lower write-downs of brewery equipment at Company-owned breweries.

 

Income tax expense.  During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company recorded a net income tax expense of $31.9 million which consists of $40.9 million income tax expenses partially offset by an $9.0 million tax benefit related to stock option exercises in accordance with ASU 2016-09.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, excluding the impact of ASU 2016-09, increased to 26.1% from 25.8% for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to an increase in state taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased to $103.0 million as of June 26, 2021 from $163.6 million as of December 26, 2020, reflecting purchases of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities.

Cash provided by operating activities consists of net income, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, other non-cash items included in operating results, and changes in operating assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 was $31.0 million and primarily consisted of net income of $124.8 million and non-cash items of $49.4 million, partially offset by a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $143.1 million. Cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2020 was $104.0 million and primarily consisted of net income of $78.4 million and non-cash items of $58.5 million, partially offset by a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $32.9 million. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 compared to the prior period is primarily due to the increase in Truly brand finished goods inventory. This inventory was produced to support demand during the summer peak period and is expected to be sold during the second half of 2021.

The Company used $83.0 million in investing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $59.8 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.  Investing activities primarily consisted of capital investments made mostly in the Company’s breweries to drive efficiencies and cost reductions and support product innovation and future growth.

Cash used by financing activities was $8.4 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, as compared to $5.8 million provided by financing activities during the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.  The $14.2 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities in 2021 from 2020 is primarily due to $15.5 million in payments of tax withholding on stock-based payment awards and investment shares.

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 and the period from June 27, 2021 through July 16, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A Common Stock.  As of July 16, 2021, the Company had repurchased a cumulative total of approximately 13.8 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $840.7 million and had approximately $90.3 million remaining on the $931.0 million stock repurchase expenditure limit set by the Board of Directors.

The Company expects that its cash balance as of June 26, 2021 of $103.0 million, along with future operating cash flow and the unused balance of the Company’s line of credit of $150.0 million, will be sufficient to fund future cash requirements.  The Company’s $150.0 million credit facility has a term not scheduled to expire until March 31, 2023.  As of the date of this filing, the Company was not in violation of any of its covenants to the lender under the credit facility.

2021 Outlook

Year-to-date depletions through the twenty-eight weeks ended July 10, 2021 are estimated to have increased approximately 32% from the comparable period in 2020.

20


Table of Contents

 

The Company is currently estimating 2021 depletions and shipments growth of between 25% and 40%, a decrease from the previously communicated range of between 40% and 50%.  The Company is targeting national price increases of between 1% and 3. Full-year 2021 gross margins are currently expected to be between 45% and 47%.  The Company intends to increase advertising, promotional and selling expenses by between $80 million and $100 million for the full year 2021, a decrease from the previously communicated range of between $130 million and $150 million, not including any changes in freight costs for the shipment of products to Distributors.  The Company intends to increase its investment in its brands in 2021, commensurate with the opportunities for growth that it sees, but there is no guarantee that such increased investments will result in increased volumes.

 

The Company currently projects Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which excludes the impact of ASU 2016-09, for 2021 of between $18.00 and $22.00, a decrease from the previously communicate range of between $22.00 and $26.00, but actual results could vary significantly from this target.  The Company estimates a full-year 2021 Non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 26.0%, which excludes the impact of ASU 2016-09.  Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and Non-GAAP effective tax rate are not defined terms under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for diluted earnings per share and effective tax rate data prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies. Management believes these Non-GAAP measures provide meaningful and useful information to investors and analysts regarding our outlook and facilitate period to period comparisons of our forecasted financial performance. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share and Non-GAAP effective tax rate exclude the potential impact of ASU 2016-09, which could be significant and will depend largely upon unpredictable future events outside the Company’s control, including the timing and value realized upon exercise of stock options versus the fair value of those options when granted. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the impact of ASU 2016-09, the Company is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a reconciliation of these Non-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis.

The Company is continuing to evaluate 2021 capital expenditures.  Its current estimates are between $180 million and $230 million, a decrease of the previously communicated range of between $250 million and $350 million, consisting mostly of investments in capacity and supply chain efficiency improvements. The actual total amount spent on 2021 capital expenditures may well be different from these estimates.  Based on information currently available, the Company believes that its capacity requirements for 2021 can be covered by its Company-owned breweries and existing contracted capacity at third-party brewers.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents incorporated herein, as well as in oral statements made by the Company, statements that are prefaced with the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “designed” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect the Company’s future plans of operations, business strategy, results of operations and financial position. These statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and estimates as to prospective events and circumstances about which the Company can give no firm assurance. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual future financial condition or results. These forward-looking statements, like any forward-looking statements, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include the factors set forth below in addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since December 26, 2020, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposures to interest rate or foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company currently does not enter into derivatives or other market risk sensitive instruments for the purpose of hedging or for trading purposes.

Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of  June 26, 2021, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain employees of the Company began working remotely in March 2020 but these changes to the working environment did not have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There was no other change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, there were no material changes to the disclosure made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

Item 1A.RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results.  The risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that it currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

As of July 16, 2021, the Company had repurchased a cumulative total of approximately 13.8 million shares of its Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $840.7 million and had $90.3 million remaining on the $931.0 million share buyback expenditure limit set by the Board of Directors.  During the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its Class A Common Stock under the previously announced repurchase program.
