European restrictions lead to Q4 miss (TAP) Molson Coors reported Q4 EPS of $.40, missing consensus expectations of $.77 by a wide margin.

Management said, “Europe alone accounts for 92% of our fourth quarter topline [miss] to plan.” Government restrictions in Europe and the U.K., in particular, caused the shortfall. Europe accounts for 15% of revenue but contributed 61% of the revenue decline for the year and 92% for the quarter. North American sales decreased 0.8%, even with Q3, while volumes declined 6.9%. The U.S. grew 1.9%, with volumes down 6.2% compared to shipment declines of 2.3%. In Europe, revenue decreased 39.4% in constant currencies worsening from -15.3% in Q3. EBITDA of $375M missed consensus expectations of $481M. |
