Capital Expenditure Plans

Capex planned
  • Brown-Forman has reduced its full-year fiscal 2026 capital expenditure outlook to a range of $110 million to $120 million, down from the prior range of $125 million to $135 million.
  • The reduction reflects completion of several projects and expansions, providing sufficient distilling, warehousing, and bottling capacities to support future demand.
  • The company is focusing on reducing finished goods inventory, which will lower working capital needs and improve cash flow.
  • Capital allocation balances ongoing investments in organic growth and acquisitions with shareholder returns (dividends, share repurchases).
