Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On October 20, 2025, Molson Coors Beverage Company (the “Company”) announced a corporate restructuring plan designed to create a leaner, more agile Americas organization while advancing its ability to reinvest in the business and position the Company for future growth. The restructuring involves the planned elimination of approximately 400 salaried positions across the Company’s Americas business by the end of December 2025, estimated at approximately 9% of its Americas business salaried workforce, including hundreds of salaried positions that were already open from role prioritization efforts put in place earlier this year and those who may be granted voluntary severance as part of this restructuring.
In connection with the corporate restructuring, the Company currently expects to incur certain restructuring charges, which are expected to be primarily cash charges, in the range of $35 million to $50 million. Substantially all of the charges are expected to be related to severance payments and post-employment benefits to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2025. Of the estimated aggregate amount of charges, the Company expects that approximately $35 million to $50 million will be in future cash expenditures to be made over the next twelve months. These one-time costs will vary based on specific employee elections during the workforce reduction.
The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the corporate restructuring.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
A copy of the Company’s news release dated October 20, 2025, regarding the corporate restructuring is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Forward-Looking Statements.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Words such as “expects,” “intend,” “goals,” “plans,” “believes,” “continues,” “may,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “outlook,” “trends,” “future benefits,” “potential,” “projects,” “strategies,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. From time to time, the Company may also provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials the Company releases to the public. Such forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that refer to characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements, and include, but are not limited to, the expected benefits of the organizational restructuring, the estimated range of restructuring charges and timing of cash charges and position eliminations related to the organizational restructuring, including the amount and timing of such figures. In addition, statements that the Company makes in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not statements of historical fact may also be forward-looking statements.
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 include, but are not limited to, the potential for increased restructuring costs or difficulty retaining key employees due to the restructuring; and other risk factors described from time to time in the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K 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. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
