\nBROWN-FORMAN DELIVERS STRONG NET SALES RESULTS AND RAISES FULL YEAR OUTLOOK<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nBrown-Forman Corporation (NYSE: BFA, BFB) announced financial results for its second quarter and first half of fiscal 2022. For the second quarter, the company\u2019s net sales1<\/sup> of $994 million increased 1% (+7% on an underlying basis2<\/sup>) compared to the same prior-year period. In the quarter, operating income decreased 2% to $322 million (+10% on an underlying basis) and diluted earnings per share decreased 2% to $0.49.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor the first six months of the fiscal year, the company\u2019s net sales increased 9% to $1,900 million (+12% on an underlying basis) compared to the same prior-year period. In the first half, operating income decreased 15% to $611 million (+13% on an underlying basis) and diluted earnings per share declined 24% to $0.89 primarily due to the gain from the sale of the Canadian Mist, Early Times, and Collingwood brands in the prior year.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDespite the many challenges and ongoing uncertainties created by the pandemic, Brown-Forman\u2019s business remains incredibly strong,\u201d said Lawson Whiting, Brown-Forman\u2019s President and Chief Executive Officer. Whiting added, \u201cWe are pleased with the strong first half of the fiscal year and remain confident in our ability to deliver sustainable long-term growth, particularly given consumers\u2019 increasing preference for premium spirits and our strength in the growing American whiskey and tequila categories.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
