| OTHER ASSETS | OTHER ASSETS The major components of other assets are as follows:
Equity method investments We acquired several investments which are being accounted for under the equity method, largely in connection with prior Wine and Spirits segment acquisitions. The primary investment consists of Opus One Winery, a 50% owned joint venture arrangement. Other investments in debt and equity securities We have multiple investments through our corporate venture capital function in debt and equity securities. As of August 31, 2025, and February 28, 2025, we evaluated certain investments, primarily driven by business underperformance and solvency concerns, and concluded they should be written down to zero. Exchangeable Shares We own 26.3 million Exchangeable Shares. As of November 30, 2024, we evaluated our Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the business and industry factors that led to the decline in Canopy’s common share price since the April 2024 conversion of our Canopy common shares and exchange of a portion of the principal amount of a promissory note issued to us by Canopy. We concluded that an impairment did exist, and accordingly, our Exchangeable Shares with a $97.3 million carrying value were written down to $58.7 million, their estimated fair value, resulting in a $38.6 million impairment. Additionally, as of February 28, 2025, we again evaluated our Exchangeable Shares for impairment primarily due to the continued decline in Canopy’s common share price. We concluded that an impairment did exist, and accordingly, our Exchangeable Shares were written down to their estimated fair value of $21.2 million. The estimated fair values were determined using the same valuation model as of the date of conversion and exchange as noted below. Following the April 2024 conversion and exchange, we recognized a net gain of $83.3 million based on the fair value of our Exchangeable Shares. The fair value of our Exchangeable Shares on the date of the conversion and exchange was estimated using a valuation model based primarily on the following inputs: (i) Canopy’s common share price, (ii) the expected volatility of Canopy’s common shares, and (iii) the probability and timing of U.S. federal legalization of recreational cannabis. As Exchangeable Shares are an equity security without a readily determinable fair value, we elected to account for our Exchangeable Shares under the measurement alternative method. See Note 15 for the net gain (loss) recognized in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments in connection with our Exchangeable Shares for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2024. Future impairments, if any, will also be reported in income (loss) from unconsolidated investments within our consolidated results.
