Exhibit 99.1

Molson Coors Reports Higher Sales, Underlying After-Tax Income and EBITDA for the Second Quarter 2014

Second Quarter 2014 Highlights (1)

DENVER & MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 6, 2014--Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) today reported a 7.9 percent increase in underlying after-tax income for the second quarter 2014, driven by improved performance from MillerCoors and Europe, along with lower interest expense versus a year ago. Worldwide beer volume decreased 0.9 percent, but net sales increased 0.9 percent in the second quarter of 2014.

Molson Coors president and chief executive officer Peter Swinburn said, “In the second quarter, Molson Coors increased underlying after-tax income nearly 8 percent, grew underlying EBITDA 4 percent, and expanded gross, operating and after-tax margins. Underlying earnings per share increased nearly 7 percent, and U.S. GAAP after-tax earnings increased 9.5 percent versus a year ago. We continued to build a bigger 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 Profit After Capital Charge, or PACC, as the key driver for our cash and capital allocation strategy.”

Swinburn added, “In the second half of 2014, we will manage through the aftermath of the flooding in Central Europe and the loss of the Modelo brands in Canada. We also expect higher brand investments in all of our businesses, which is part of our strong and consistent execution of our brand-led profit growth strategy as a driver of total shareholder return. This strategy is generating steady, growing pretax profit; a strong and increasing EBITDA; and strong cash returns to shareholders and will have an even greater impact as market conditions continue to improve.”


Underlying EBITDA and Free Cash Flow

Underlying EBITDA reached $476.2 million in the second quarter, a 4.0 percent increase from a year ago.

Underlying free cash flow in the first half of 2014 was $331.7 million. This represents a decrease of $34.1 million from the prior year, driven by higher working capital this year, partially offset by higher net income.

Foreign Exchange

The Company’s second quarter underlying consolidated pretax income includes the effect of foreign currency movements that were $4.9 million positive in Europe and $6.3 million negative in Canada.

Effective Income Tax Rates

The Company’s second quarter effective income tax rate was 11 percent on a reported and underlying basis, up from 10 percent a year earlier.

Debt

Total debt at the end of the second quarter was $3.66 billion, and cash and cash equivalents totaled $506.0 million, resulting in net debt of $3.15 billion, which is $612 million lower than the prior year.

Second Quarter Business Segment Results

The following are the Company’s second quarter 2014 results by business segment:

United States Business (MillerCoors)(2)

Molson Coors underlying U.S. segment equity income increased 10.3 percent to $190.3 million in the quarter.


MillerCoors Operating and Financial Highlights

MillerCoors underlying net income for the quarter increased 8.0 percent to $445.7 million, driven by positive pricing, sales mix and cost savings.

MillerCoors domestic sales to retailers (STRs) declined 1.2 percent for the quarter. Domestic sales to wholesalers (STWs) decreased 1.7 percent. Domestic net revenue per hectoliter, which excludes contract brewing and company-owned-distributor sales, grew 3.6 percent primarily due to favorable net pricing and positive brand mix. Total company net revenue per hectoliter, including contract brewing and company-owned distributor sales, increased 3.1 percent. Contract brewing volumes increased 6.4 percent.

Cost of goods sold (COGS) per hectoliter increased 1.9 percent, driven by brand mix, as cost savings offset inflation. Marketing, general and administrative (MG&A) expense increased 0.6 percent, driven primarily by higher media investment and employee-related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for MillerCoors in the second quarter were $77.4 million, and additions to tangible and intangible assets totaled $70.0 million.

Canada Business

Canada underlying pretax income decreased 6.5 percent to $120.9 million in the quarter and decreased 1.6 percent on a constant currency basis. The loss of the Modelo brands this year and unfavorable foreign currency drove all of the decline in U.S. dollar income. Our results for second quarter 2013 benefited from $6.6 million of equity earnings and administrative cost recoveries related to the Modelo brands joint venture, which was terminated at the end of February 2014. A decrease in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar resulted in a $6.3 million negative foreign exchange impact on underlying pretax income in the quarter. These factors were partially offset by cost savings in the quarter.

STRs decreased 3.1 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, entirely due to our sale of the distribution rights to the Modelo brands earlier this year. Our market share(3) declined approximately one-half point. Molson Coors Canada sales volume decreased 2.0 percent in the second quarter. Net sales per hectoliter increased 0.5 percent in local currency, driven by positive net pricing and mix.

COGS per hectoliter increased 0.5 percent in local currency, driven by the loss of the Modelo brands this year and brewing and material inflation, partially offset by cost savings. MG&A expense decreased 1.0 percent in local currency, driven by lower marketing spending.


Europe Business

Europe underlying pretax income increased 13.3 percent to $86.8 million in the quarter and increased 6.9 percent on a constant currency basis. The increase was driven by cost savings and positive geographic mix, along with a $4.9 million benefit from favorable foreign currency movements.

Europe sales volume decreased 1.3 percent, as the region was negatively impacted by devastating flooding in parts of Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Bulgaria. Consumer demand was also weak in Romania due to poor weather in the quarter. Lower volume in these markets was partially offset by strong growth in the U.K., Hungary and Czech Republic. Europe net sales per hectoliter increased 1.9 percent in local currency driven by positive geographic mix, primarily related to higher sales in the U.K.

COGS per hectoliter decreased 0.3 percent in local currency as a result of cost savings and lower logistics expense.

MG&A expense increased 2.3 percent in local currency, due to higher marketing and sales investments, partially offset by cost savings.

International Business

The International segment posted an underlying pretax loss of $3.7 million in the second quarter, versus a loss of $3.1 million a year ago, due to higher marketing investments, which drove strong double-digit top-line growth.

Total International sales volume, including royalty volume, increased 21.6 percent, primarily due to strong Coors Light growth in Mexico and Latin America and significant growth in India, partially offset by continued industry weakness in our Ukraine and Russia license markets. Net sales per hectoliter decreased 6.7 percent, driven by geographic mix and foreign currency movements.

COGS per hectoliter decreased 6.5 percent, due to fixed-cost leverage in India from higher volumes, along with foreign currency movements. International MG&A expense increased 23.5 percent, driven by higher marketing investments.

Corporate

Underlying Corporate pretax expense totaled $63.5 million for the second quarter, a $7.4 million improvement versus the prior year driven by lower interest expense, partially offset by higher incentive compensation.

Change in Interim Period Accounting for Advertising Expenses

Effective the first quarter of 2014, we changed our policy for recognizing advertising expenses during interim periods and have applied this change retrospectively. The change in interim accounting affects the timing of advertising expenses over interim periods but has no impact on full year results. We have provided the impact to fiscal year 2013 quarterly results on our investor relations website.


Special and Other Non-Core Items

The following special and other non-core items have been excluded from underlying pretax earnings.

During the quarter, Molson Coors recognized special items of $2.7 million on a pretax basis. This charge was largely driven by $1.8 million in costs related to the significant flooding in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia and $0.9 million of restructuring costs incurred during the quarter.

MillerCoors reported $0.5 million in special charges for restructuring. Our portion of these charges is $0.2 million at our 42 percent economic ownership share.

Other non-core items resulted in $1.4 million of pretax income, which was driven by unrealized mark-to-market net gains on commodity hedges.

Footnotes:

(1) The Company calculates non-GAAP underlying after-tax income, underlying EBITDA, underlying free cash flow and constant currency results by excluding special and other non-core items from the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, which is net income from continuing operations attributable to MCBC for both underlying after-tax income and underlying EBITDA and net cash provided by operating activities for underlying free cash flow. For further details regarding these adjustments, please see the section “Special and Other Non-Core Items,” along with tables for reconciliations to the nearest U.S. GAAP measures. Unless otherwise indicated, all $ amounts are in U.S. Dollars and all quarterly comparative results are for the Company’s fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to the fiscal second quarter ended June 29, 2013. Additionally, all per-hectoliter calculations exclude contract brewing and non-owned factored beverage volume in the denominator but include the financial impact of these sales in the numerator, unless otherwise indicated.

(2) MillerCoors, a U.S. joint venture of Molson Coors Brewing Company and SABMiller plc, was launched on July 1, 2008. Molson Coors has a 42 percent economic interest in MillerCoors, which is accounted for using the equity method. Molson Coors’ interest in MillerCoors results, along with certain adjustments under U.S. GAAP, is reflected in “Equity Income in MillerCoors.” This release includes reconciliation from MillerCoors Net Income to Molson Coors Brewing Company Equity Income in MillerCoors and Non-GAAP U.S. Segment Underlying Pretax Income (see Table 6).

(3) Excludes the Modelo brands from our Canada STR results in second quarter 2013. The Company terminated on February 28, 2014, its joint venture that sold the Modelo brands in Canada, and control of the brands reverted to Anheuser-Busch InBev.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, the words “believe,” "expect,” "intend,” "anticipate,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historic in nature. Although the Company believes that the assumptions upon which its forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience, and present projections and expectations are disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These factors include, among others, impact of competitive pricing and product pressures; health of the beer industry and our brands in our markets; economic conditions in our markets; pension plan costs; availability or increase in the cost of packaging materials; our ability to maintain manufacturer/distribution agreements; our ability to implement our strategic initiatives, including executing and realizing cost savings; our ability to successfully integrate our Central Europe business; changes in legal and regulatory requirements, including the regulation of distribution systems; increase in the cost of commodities used in the business; our ability to maintain brand image, reputation and product quality; our ability to maintain good labor relations; changes in our supply chain system; additional impairment charges; the impact of climate change and the availability and quality of water; risks relating to operations outside North America; success of our joint ventures; lack of full-control over the operations of MillerCoors; and other risks discussed in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2013, which are available from the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this press release are expressly qualified by such cautionary statements and by reference to the underlying assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 effective tax rate," "underlying free cash flow," and "constant currency," 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 EBITDA, underlying effective tax rate, underlying free cash flow and constant currency as measures of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis; 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 EBITDA, underlying effective tax rate, underlying free cash flow and constant currency 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 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.

(2) The net adjustment is to eliminate all share-based compensation impacts related to pre-existing SABMiller plc equity awards held by former Miller Brewing Company employees employed by MillerCoors.

Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure utilized by Molson Coors management to measure performance, excluding the impact of foreign currency movements. As we operate in various foreign countries where the local currency may strengthen or weaken significantly versus the U.S. dollar or other currencies used in operations, we utilize a constant currency measure as an additional metric to evaluate the underlying performance of each business without consideration of foreign currency movements. This information is non-GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to (not a substitute for) our reported results of operations under U.S. GAAP. We calculate the impact of foreign exchange on net sales, pretax income and non-GAAP underlying pretax income using the following steps:

  1.     Multiply our current period local currency operating results (that also include the impact of the comparable prior-period currency hedging activities) by the weighted average foreign exchange rates used to translate the financial statements in the comparable prior year period. The result is the current-period operating results in U.S. dollars, as if foreign exchange rates had not changed from the prior-year period.
 
2. Subtract the result in #1 from the unadjusted current-period reported operating result in U.S. dollars (U.S. GAAP measure). This difference reflects the impact of foreign currency translational gains/losses included in the current-period results.
 
3. Determine the amount of actual non-operating foreign currency gains/losses realized as a result of hedging activities and activities transacted in a currency other than the functional currency of each legal entity.
 
4. Add the results of steps 2 and 3 above. This sum equals the total impact of foreign currency translational gains/losses and realized gains/losses from foreign currency transactions. This is the value shown in the “Foreign Exchange $ Impact” column within the table above.
