Welcome to our dedicated page for BF SEC filings (Ticker: BF), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
The Brown-Forman (BF) SEC filings page on Stock Titan provides structured access to the company’s regulatory disclosures filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Brown-Forman Corporation, a Louisville, Kentucky–based global spirits company with NYSE-listed Class A (BFA) and Class B (BFB) shares, files a range of documents that detail its financial condition, governance, and material events.
Current and periodic reports such as Form 8-K, Form 10-K, and Form 10-Q are central to understanding Brown-Forman’s business. Recent 8-K filings have covered quarterly and half-year operating results, annual meeting voting outcomes, the adoption of an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan, the announcement of a share repurchase program, and the planned retirement of the company’s chief financial officer. These reports often incorporate or reference press releases that describe brand performance across whiskey, tequila, ready-to-drink (RTD), Rest of Portfolio, and non-branded and bulk categories, as well as geographic and channel trends.
Annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (referenced in the company’s risk discussions) contain detailed financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, and the “Risk Factors” section. Brown-Forman uses these filings to describe risks related to dependence on the Jack Daniel’s family of brands, competition, trade policies, consumer preferences, supply chain, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory changes, tax matters, and cyber and data protection, among others.
Stock Titan’s platform surfaces these filings as they are made available through EDGAR and pairs them with AI-powered summaries that highlight key points, such as changes in net sales by brand grouping, updates to capital allocation (dividends and repurchases), governance decisions, and executive compensation or severance arrangements disclosed in proxy materials and related exhibits.
Investors can also review proxy statements (DEF 14A), which outline Board composition, committee structures, executive compensation programs, and matters submitted to stockholders for a vote. Together, these documents provide a detailed regulatory record of Brown-Forman’s operations, governance, and financial reporting over time.

Brown‑Forman Corporation reported mixed results for the nine months ended January 31, 2026. Net sales were $3.0 billion, down 2%, as lower U.S. and developed international revenue and the loss of divested brands offset growth in emerging markets and travel retail. Gross profit was $1.8 billion, down 1%, but gross margin improved to 59.9% on portfolio changes and foreign exchange.
Operating income was essentially flat at $905 million, with margin rising to 30.0% helped by lower restructuring costs, an $18 million substitution drawback benefit, and lower advertising and SG&A spending. Diluted EPS fell to $1.41 from $1.53, mainly because last year included a $78 million gain on the Duckhorn investment and lower non‑operating postretirement expense than this year.
Cash flow from operations strengthened to $709 million, driven by working capital improvements. The company completed a $400 million share repurchase program in December 2025 and paid $321 million in dividends, while continuing a multi‑year restructuring that has incurred $67 million of charges to date and included the sale of the Brown‑Forman Cooperage and related assets.
Brown-Forman Corporation reported mixed fiscal 2026 results but reaffirmed its full-year outlook. For the third quarter ended January 31, 2026, net sales rose 2% to $1.1 billion, operating income increased 21% to $340 million, and diluted EPS edged up 1% to $0.58.
For the first nine months, net sales declined 2% to $3.0 billion, operating income was flat at $905 million, and diluted EPS fell 8% to $1.41, hurt by the absence of a prior-year investment gain and lower non‑branded and bulk sales. Growth came from Emerging markets, Travel Retail, whiskey and ready‑to‑drink brands, while the end of the Korbel Champagne relationship and softer U.S. and Developed International markets weighed on results.
Gross margin expanded to 59.9% and operating margin to 30.0%, supported by portfolio changes, lower restructuring costs, and cost controls. Cash flow from operations increased to $709 million and free cash flow to $628 million. The company completed a $400 million share repurchase program, declared a $0.2310 quarterly dividend, and continues to expect low‑single‑digit declines in organic net sales and operating income, with capital spending of $110–$120 million and an effective tax rate of about 19%–21%.

Gross profit fell 4% to $1.17 billion, though gross margin inched up to 59.5% as divestitures and mix slightly improved profitability.
