Molson Coors Provides Historical Pro Forma Financial Results For Its Recently Acquired Central Europe Business

Footnotes:

⁽¹⁾ Unless otherwise indicated, all $ amounts are in U.S. Dollars. The pro forma statements of operations include adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition of StarBev. Pro forma amounts include the results of operations for Central Europe for the periods indicated on each statement. These amounts also include pro forma adjustments as if MCCE had been acquired on December 26, 2010, the first day of our 2011 fiscal year, including the effects of on-going acquisition accounting impacts and eliminating operating costs and expenses directly related to the transaction, but do not include adjustments for costs related to integration activities following the completion of the Aquisition, cost savings or synergies that have been or may be achieved by the combined businesses. Pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had we operated the businesses since December 26, 2010, and do not purport to be indicative of future operating results.

⁽²⁾ Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), excluding special and other non-core items. The Company calculates non-GAAP underlying pro forma EBITDA and pretax income by excluding special and other non-core items from the nearest U.S. GAAP earnings measure, which is income before income taxes.
