Forward Guidance
Molson Coors expects to achieve key financial targets for full year 2022, but macroeconomic uncertainties, including cost inflation and weakening demand in Central and Eastern Europe, could impact financial performance.
Positive Outlook
- Net sales: mid single-digit increase versus 2021 on a constant currency basis.
- Underlying income (loss) before income taxes: high single-digit increase compared to 2021 on a constant currency basis.
- Deleverage: We expect to achieve a net debt to underlying EBITDA ratio below 3.0x by the end of 2022.
- Underlying free cash flow: $1.0 billion, plus or minus 10%.
- Consolidated net interest expense: approximately $265 million, plus or minus 5%.
Challenges Ahead
- The inherent uncertainties that exist in the macroeconomic environment, including continued significant cost inflation, weakening demand in Central and Eastern Europe and the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar could impact our financial performance.
- Due to increased inflationary cost pressures and weakening demand in Central and Eastern Europe, we expect underlying income (loss) before income taxes to be at the lower end of the range.
- Underlying depreciation and amortization: approximately $700 million, plus or minus 5% from our previous guidance of $750 million, plus or minus 5%.
- Underlying effective tax rate: in the range of 21% to 22% for 2022 from our previous guidance range of 22% to 24%.
- Continued significant cost inflation
