Aluminium

Raw materials and inputs

DriverNegative impact: weakens

“Modifications of laws and policies governing international trade and investment, including tariffs, such as aluminum tariffs, and trade agreements such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and the European Union-United Kingdom Trade and Cooperating Agreement ("TCA"), could adversely affect our supply chain, business and results of operations. For example, the U.S. tariffs on aluminum imports imposed in June 2018 (and partially lifted in May 2019) created volatility in the price of aluminum in the U.S. and increased the price of aluminum used in some of our product packaging. Ongoing or additional U.S. tariffs, including on aluminum, retaliatory tariffs or related actions from trade partners, and related uncertainty may continue to increase the cost of certain of our imported materials and, adversely affect our profitability.”

“In addition, our Americas segment is exposed to variability in the market price of a regional premium differential (referred to as “Midwest Premium” in the U.S.) charged by industry participants to deliver aluminum from the smelter to the manufacturing facility. This premium differential also fluctuates in relation to several conditions, including based on the supply of and demand for aluminum in a particular region, associated transportation costs and warehouse financing transactions, which limit the amount of physical aluminum available to consumers and increases the price differential as a result.”

Regulation

DriverNegative impact: weakens

“In Canada, changes to provincial trade rules and regulations, distribution models and packaging requirements, such as the use of government-owned retail outlets and industry standard returnable bottles, may be disadvantageous to us and adversely impact our business and financial results. In the second half of 2024, the Province of Ontario expanded the licensed sale of beer, wine and RTDs to all convenience stores and all eligible grocery and big-box grocery stores. This ongoing evolution of the Ontario beer market may have a significant impact on the financial results of our ownership in Brewers Retail, Inc. and adversely affect our financial results.”

“In addition, a number of governmental authorities, in the U.S. and internationally (including the U.K. and the EU), have enacted, are considering, or plan to introduce legislation targeting packaging materials. These initiatives include efforts to reduce plastic and other materials, eliminate single-use packaging, and expand funding for recycling infrastructure. The requirements of Extended Producer Responsibility ("EPR") and deposit return system ("DRS") legislation and regulations vary by jurisdiction, and such legislation, as well as voluntary initiatives aimed at reducing packaging waste, could reduce demand for our products, increase our compliance and other costs or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

In the event that such regulation is more stringent than current regulatory obligations, or the measures that we are currently undertaking to monitor and improve our resource efficiency are insufficient, we may experience disruptions in, or increases in our costs of, operation and delivery to comply with new regulatory requirements due to investments in facilities and equipment or the relocation of our facilities.”

“The expansion of the number of retail points of sale relative to the number of return locations could interrupt the flow of returnable-refillable bottles and may impact the quality of the returnable-refillable bottle. While the volume of beer sold in the industry standard returnable-refillable bottle has diminished due to consumer preference for one-way aluminum cans, a disruption to the return rate could result in inefficiencies in our operations.”
