Molson Coors ( (TAP) ) has provided an update.

On February 18, 2026, Molson Coors reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, showing a modest decline in sales and earnings amid a challenging macro backdrop. Fourth-quarter net sales fell 2.7% to $2.66 billion, with U.S. GAAP income before tax down 23.1% to $266.3 million and underlying pre-tax income down 13.8% in constant currency, while diluted underlying EPS slipped 6.9% to $1.21 as both financial and brand volumes declined.

For full-year 2025, net sales decreased 4.2% to $11.14 billion and the company swung to a U.S. GAAP pre-tax loss of $2.52 billion, driven largely by a $3.65 billion partial goodwill impairment and $273.9 million of intangible asset impairments recorded in the third quarter. Despite the headline loss, underlying pre-tax income fell a lesser 14.7% in constant currency to $1.39 billion and underlying diluted EPS declined 9.1% to $5.42, while strong cash generation of $1.78 billion from operations and $1.14 billion of free cash flow supported dividends and share buybacks, reinforcing management’s message of financial resilience but underscoring ongoing pressure from lower volumes and commodity inflation.
