Molson Coors Accused of Misrepresenting Its Financial Condition
According to the complaint, since 2017, Molson attested to the accuracy
of its financial reporting and internal control over financial
reporting. Therefore, it came as a surprise to investors when Molson
revealed in February 2019 that its financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017, would be restated because
the company found a material weakness in its internal control over
financial reporting. The company cited errors in the accounting for
income taxes related to the deferred tax liabilities for its partnership
in MillerCoors, LLC. As a result, Molson would need to increase its
deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax expense by $399.1 million,
with a corresponding decrease in net income and earnings per share. On
this news, Molson’s stock fell over 9% to close at $59.19 per share on
February 12, 2019, and has yet to recover.
