FARMER BROS. CO.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation

Farmer Bros. Co., a Delaware corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” or “Farmer Bros.”), is a leading coffee roaster, wholesaler, equipment servicer and distributor of coffee, tea and other allied products. The Company serves a wide variety of customers, from small independent restaurants and foodservice operators to large institutional buyers like restaurants, department and convenience store retailers, hotels, casinos, healthcare facilities, and gourmet coffee houses, as well as grocery chains with private brand and consumer-branded coffee and tea products, and foodservice distributors.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of the Company related to its direct ship and private label business, including the Company’s production facility and corporate office building in Northlake, Texas, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 6, 2023, by and between the Company and TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (the "Buyer"), as amended by that certain Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2023.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2024, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on October 25, 2024 (as amended, the “2024 Form 10-K”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results may differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Cash Equivalents

At December 31, 2024, we had $5.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $0.2 million in restricted cash on deposit in broker accounts to satisfy margin requirements associated with certain coffee-related derivative instruments resulting from an increase in the “C” market price of green coffee during the six months ended December 31, 2024. Further changes in commodity prices and the number of coffee-related derivative instruments held could have an impact on cash deposit requirements under our broker and counterparty agreements and may adversely affect our liquidity.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash in financial institutions (in excess of federally insured limits), derivative instruments and trade receivables.

Farmer Bros. Co.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The Company does not have any credit-risk related contingent features that would require it to post additional collateral in support of its net derivative liability positions.

The Company estimates its credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The accounts receivable are generally short-term and all estimated credit losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for credit losses. There were no individual customers with balances over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The following table provides a brief description of the recent ASUs applicable to the Company:

Standard

Description

Effective Date

Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

The amendments in this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information.

Effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

The Company is still evaluating the impact of this standard.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)”, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.

The amendments in this Update are to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.

Effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023.

The Company is still evaluating the impact of this standard.

Note 3. Leases

The Company has entered into leases for building facilities, vehicles and other equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining contractual terms through April 30, 2030, some of which have options to extend the lease for up to 10 years. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease renewal until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

Note 4. Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments Held

Coffee-Related Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk associated with its price to be fixed green coffee purchase contracts, which are described further in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K. The Company utilizes forward and option contracts to manage exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows from forecasted purchases of green coffee attributable to commodity price risk. Certain of these coffee-related derivative instruments utilized for risk management purposes have been designated as cash flow hedges, while other coffee-related derivative instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting despite hedging the Company’s future cash flows on an economic basis.

The following table summarizes the notional volumes for the coffee-related derivative instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024:

Multiemployer Pension Plans

The Company participates in one multiemployer defined benefit pension plan that is union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, called the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan (“WCTPP”). The Company makes contributions to this plan generally based on the number of hours worked by the participants in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts. The company also contributes to two defined contribution pension plans (“All Other Plans”) that are union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Contributions made by the Company to the multiemployer pension plans were as follows:

Multiemployer Plans Other Than Pension Plans

The Company participates in nine multiemployer defined contribution plans other than pension plans that provide medical, vision, dental and disability benefits for active, union-represented employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. The plans are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and provide that participating employers make monthly contributions to the plans in an amount as specified in the collective bargaining agreements. Also, the plans provide that participants make self-payments to the plans, the amounts of which are negotiated through the collective bargaining process. The Company’s participation in these plans is governed by collective bargaining agreements which expire on or before September 30, 2027.

401(k) Plan

Farmer Bros. Co. 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) is available to all eligible employees. The Company has a matching program that is available to all eligible employees who have worked more than 1,000 hours during a calendar year and were employed at the end of the calendar year. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may choose to contribute a percentage of their annual pay subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's matching contribution is discretionary, based on approval by the Company's Board of Directors.

Effective January 1, 2024, the Company amended the 401(k) matching program, whereby the Company on an annual basis will contribute cash for 100% of the first 3% each eligible employee contributes plus 50% on the next 2% they contribute.

Effective August 1, 2024, the Company temporarily suspended the 401(k) matching program.

Revolver Facility

The Company maintains a senior secured credit facility composed of (a) the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Revolver Credit Facility Agreement") and various loan documents relating thereto including the Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2021 (the “Revolver Security Agreement” and, together with the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, the “Revolver Agreements”), by and among the Borrowers, as grantors, and Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and (b) a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2021 (the “Term Credit Facility Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers, MGG Investment Group LP. (“MGG”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, and various loan documents relating thereto including the Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2021 (the “Term Security Agreement”), by and among the Borrowers, as grantors, and MGG, as administrative agent. The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement was subsequently amended by (i) that certain Increase Joinder and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated August 8, 2022, (ii) that certain Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated August 31, 2022, (iii) that certain Consent and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement, dated June 30, 2023 and (iv) that certain Consent and Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement, dated December 4, 2023. The Company has no outstanding loans under the Term Credit Facility Agreement. For a detailed discussion about the Company’s Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and Term Credit Facility Agreement, see Note 13, “Debt Obligations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.

The following is a summary description of the key terms of the Revolver Agreements as in effect as of the date hereof.

The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, among other things, include:

1.a commitment of up to $75.0 million (“Revolver”) calculated as the lesser of (a) $75.0 million or (b) the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable (less a dilution reserve), plus (ii) the lesser of: (a) 80% of eligible raw material inventory, eligible in-transit inventory and eligible finished goods inventory (collectively, “Eligible Inventory”), and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory, minus (c) applicable reserve;

2.sublimit on letters of credit of $10.0 million;

3.maturity date of April 26, 2027 and has no scheduled payback required on the principal prior to the maturity date;

4.fully collateralized by all existing and future capital stock of the Borrowers (other than the Company) and all of the Borrowers' personal and real property;

5.interest under the Revolver is either  if the relevant Obligation is a SOFR Loan, at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus the SOFR Margin (1.75%), and otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (the greater of the Federal Funds Rate + 0.5% or Term SOFR +1%) plus the Base Rate Margin (0.75%).; and

6.in the event that Borrowers’ availability to borrow under the Revolver falls below $9.375 million, the financial covenant requires the Company to meet or exceed a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 at all such times.

The Revolver Agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants and restrict the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, repurchase its stock and prepay certain indebtedness, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of its business, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments.

There are no required principal payments on the Revolver debt obligation.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.4 million of the letters of credit sublimit. At December 31, 2024, we had $23.7 million available for borrowing under our Revolver Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement. Furthermore, the Company believes it will be in compliance with the related financial covenants under this agreement for the next 12 months.

Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units (“CSRSUs”)

CSRSUs vest in equal installments over a three-year period from the grant date, and are cash-settled upon vesting based on the closing share price of Common Stock on the vesting date.

Farmer Bros. Co.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The CSRSUs are accounted for as liability awards, and compensation expense is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period net of forfeitures. Compensation expense is remeasured at each reporting date with a cumulative adjustment to compensation cost during the period based on changes in the closing share price of Common Stock.

The following table summarizes CSRSU activity for the six months ended December 31, 2024:


Outstanding and Nonvested CSRSUs:	CSRSUs Awarded	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value ($)
Outstanding and nonvested at June 30, 2024	619,327	2.94

Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(81)		$	164		$	52		$	32
Effective tax rate	(62.8)		%	5.7		%	(1.1)		%	2.2		%

The Company’s interim tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjusted for discrete taxable events that may occur during the quarter. The Company recognizes the effects of tax legislation in the period in which the law is enacted. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are remeasured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the Company estimates the related temporary differences to reverse. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required. In making such assessment, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, such as recent operating results, and less consideration is given to less objective indicators such as future income projections.

Farmer Bros. Co.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Tax benefit in the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $81 thousand compared to tax expense of $164 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2023, which primarily relates to state income tax. Tax expense in the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $52 thousand compared to $32 thousand in the six months ended December 31, 2023, which primarily relates to state income tax.

The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities. With limited exceptions, as of December 31, 2024, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits by taxing authorities for any years prior to June 30, 2021. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any future audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 16. Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is calculated by dividing diluted net (loss) income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect, if dilutive, of the exercise of in-the-money stock options, unvested performance-based restricted stock units, and RSUs, during the periods presented. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes out-of-the-money stock options (i.e., such option’s exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period). Potentially dilutive securities include unvested RSUs and performance-based restricted stock units. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, shares of the Company’s outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) income per common share as their effects were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, shares of the Company’s outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) income per common share as their effects were anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net earnings income (loss) per common share:

Note 17. Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are sales of coffee, tea and culinary products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer and in amounts that the Company expects to collect. The timing of revenue recognition takes into consideration the various shipping terms applicable to the Company’s sales.

The Company delivers products to customers through Direct-store-delivery (“DSD”) to the Company’s customers at their place of business and directly from the Company’s warehouse to the customer’s warehouse, facility or address. Each delivery or shipment made to a third party customer is to satisfy a performance obligation. Performance obligations generally occur at a point in time and are satisfied when control of the goods passes to the customer. The Company is entitled to collection of the sales price under normal credit terms in the regions in which it operates.

Item 2.			Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the SEC contain “forward-looking statements” withing the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, our financial condition, our products, our business strategy, our beliefs and our management’s assumptions. In addition, we, or others on our behalf, may make forward-looking statements in press releases or written statements, or in our communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words like “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “intends,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “assumes” and other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on management’s beliefs, assumptions, estimates and observations of future events based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made and include any statements that do not relate to any historical or current fact. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and they involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast by our forward-looking statements due in part to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 filed with the SEC on September 12, 2024, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on October 25, 2024 (as amended, the “2024 Form 10-K”), as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, severe weather; levels of consumer confidence in national and local economic business conditions; developments related to pricing cycles and volumes; the impact of labor market conditions; the increase of costs due to inflation; an economic downturn caused by any pandemic, epidemic or other disease outbreak; the success of our turnaround strategy; the impact of capital improvement projects; the adequacy and availability of capital resources to fund our existing and planned business operations and our capital expenditure requirements; our ability to meet financial covenant requirements in our Credit Facility, which could impact, among other things, our liquidity; the relative effectiveness of compensation-based employee incentives in causing improvements in our performance; the capacity to meet the demands of our large national account customers; the extent of execution of plans for the growth of our business and achievement of financial metrics related to those plans, our success in retaining and/or attracting qualified employees; our success in adapting to technology and new commerce channels; the effect of the capital markets as well as other external factors on stockholder value; fluctuations in availability and cost of green coffee; competition; organizational changes; the effectiveness of our hedging strategies in reducing price; changes in consumer preferences; our ability to provide sustainability in ways that do not materially impair profitability; changes in the strength of the economy, including any effects from inflation; business conditions in the coffee industry and food industry in general; our continued success in attracting new customers; variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rates; weather and special or unusual events, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any other public statement made by us, including by our management, may turn out to be incorrect. We are including this cautionary note to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2023

Net Sales

Net sales in the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased $0.6 million, or 0.6%, to $90.0 million from $89.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher pricing compared to the prior period.

Net sales in the six months ended December 31, 2024 increased $3.7 million, or 2.2%, to $175.1 million from $171.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher pricing compared to the prior period.

The following table presents the effect of changes in unit sales, and unit pricing and product mix in the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (in millions):


	Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 vs. 2023		Six Months Ended December 31, 2024 vs. 2023
Effect of change in unit sales	$	(9.9)	$	(19.7)
Effect of pricing and product mix changes	10.5		23.4
Total increase in net sales	$	0.6	$	3.7

Unit sales decreased 10.0%, and average unit price increased by 12.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, resulting in an increase in our net sales of 0.6%. Average unit price increased during the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to price increases.

Unit sales decreased 10.3%, and average unit price increased by 13.9% in the six months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, resulting in an increase in our net sales of 2.2%. Average unit price increased during the six months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to price increases. There were no new product category introductions which had a material impact on our net sales in the six months ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased to $38.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $36.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin increased to 43.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from 40.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved pricing compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit increased to $76.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $66.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin increased to 43.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 from

39.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved pricing compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Operating Expenses

In the three months ended December 31, 2024, operating expenses increased $6.2 million to $37.8 million, or 42.0% of net sales, from $31.7 million, or 35.4% of net sales in the prior year period. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, there was a $1.5 million loss on disposal of assets compared to a $6.1 million gain on disposal of assets for three months ended December 31, 2023 as there were no branch sales during the six months ended December 31, 2024. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales excluding net losses (gains) on disposal of assets was 40.3% and 42.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There was a $1.4 million decrease in selling expenses and a $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in selling expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to compensation related cost. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in severance costs offset by an increase in insurance related costs.

In the six months ended December 31, 2024, operating expenses increased $13.4 million to $78.0 million, or 44.5% of net sales, from $64.5 million, or 37.7% of net sales in the prior year period. For the six months ended December 31, 2024, there was a $3.2 million loss on disposal of assets compared to a $12.9 million gain on disposal of assets for six months ended December 31, 2023 as there were no branch sales during the six months ended December 31, 2024. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales excluding net losses (gains) on disposal of assets was 42.7% and 45.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There was a $1.0 million decrease in selling expenses and a $1.7 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. The decrease in selling expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to compensation related cost. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in severance costs offset by an increase in insurance related costs.

Total Other Expense

Interest expense in the three months ended December 31, 2024 remained flat at $1.9 million compared to the prior year period.

Other, net was a gain of $1.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0.3 million gain in the prior year period. The $0.7 million change was primarily a result of a $1.9 million legal settlement offset by net losses on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in the current period compared to net gains in the prior year period.

Interest expense in the six months ended December 31, 2024 decreased $0.4 million to $3.7 million from $4.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily related to lower supplier interest expense.

Other, net was a gain of $0.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to $3.2 million gain in the prior year period. The $2.4 million change was primarily related to net losses on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in the current period compared to net gains in the prior year period.

Income Taxes

In the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recorded income tax benefit of $81 thousand and an income tax expense of $164 thousand, respectively. In the six months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $52 thousand and $32 thousand, respectively. See Note 15, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to net income (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating performance:

“EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) excluding the impact of:

•income tax expense (benefit);

•interest expense; and

•depreciation and amortization expense.

“EBITDA Margin” is defined as EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) excluding the impact of:

•income tax expense (benefit);

•interest expense;

•depreciation and amortization expense;

•401(k) and share-based compensation expense;

•net losses (gains) on disposal of assets; and

•severance costs.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.

For purposes of calculating EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, we have excluded the impact of interest expense resulting from non-cash pretax pension and postretirement benefits. For purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, beginning with the period ended June 30, 2024 and any period thereafter, we are also excluding the impact of the loss related to sale of business, as this item is not reflective of our ongoing operating results.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company’s operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, management utilizes these measures, in addition to GAAP measures, when evaluating and comparing the Company’s operating performance against internal financial forecasts and budgets.

We believe that EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present EBITDA and EBITDA Margin because (i) we believe that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, (ii) we believe that investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) we use these measures internally as benchmarks to compare our performance to that of our competitors.

EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We do not intend for non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our product categories consist of a robust line of roast and ground coffee, including organic, Direct Trade, Project D.I.R.E.C.T.®, Fair Trade Certified™ ® and other sustainably-produced offerings; frozen liquid coffee; flavored and unflavored iced and hot teas; including organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified™; culinary products including premium spices, pancake and biscuit mixes, gravy and sauce mixes, soup bases, dressings, syrups and sauces, and coffee-related products such as coffee filters, cups, sugar and creamers; and other beverages including cappuccino, cocoa, granitas, and other blender-based beverages and concentrated and ready-to-drink cold brew and iced coffee. We offer a comprehensive approach to our customers by providing not only a breadth of high-quality products, but also value added services such as market insight, beverage planning, and equipment placement and service.

We operate a production facility in Portland, Oregon. We distribute our products from our Portland, Oregon production facility, as well as separate distribution centers in Northlake, Illinois; Moonachie, New Jersey; and Rialto, California. Our products reach our customers primarily through our nationwide DSD network of 239 delivery routes and 100 branch warehouses as of December 31, 2024. DSD sales are primarily made “off-truck” to our customers at their places of business. We operate a large fleet of trucks and other vehicles to distribute and deliver our products through our DSD network, and we rely on 3PL service providers for our long-haul distribution.

The revolver under the Credit Facility has a commitment of up to $75.0 million and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Availability under the revolver is calculated as the lesser of (a) $75.0 million or (b) the amount equal to the sum of (i) 85% of eligible accounts receivable (less a dilution reserve), plus (ii) the lesser of: (a) 80% of eligible raw material inventory, eligible in-transit inventory and eligible finished goods inventory (collectively, “Eligible Inventory”), and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory, minus (c) applicable reserve. The Term Loan under the Term Credit Facility was fully paid down on June 30, 2023.

The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Credit Facility becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments. As of and through December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility provides us with increased flexibility to proactively manage our liquidity and working capital, while maintaining compliance with our debt financial covenants, and preserving financial liquidity to mitigate the impact of the uncertain business environment and continue to execute on key strategic initiatives.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.4 million of the letters of credit sublimit.

Liquidity

We generally finance our operations through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility described above. In light of our financial position, operating performance and current economic conditions, including the state of the global capital markets, there can be no assurance as to whether or when we will be able to raise capital by issuing securities. We believe that the Credit Facility, to the extent available, in addition to our cash flows from operations, collectively, will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.

At December 31, 2024, we had $5.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $0.2 million in restricted cash. Further changes in commodity prices and the number of coffee-related derivative instruments held could have a significant impact on cash deposit requirements under our broker and counterparty agreements and may adversely affect our liquidity. At December 31, 2024, we had $23.7 million available on our Revolver Credit Facility.

Cash Flows

The significant captions and amounts from our consolidated statements of cash flows are summarized below:


	Six Months Ended December 31,
	2024		2023
Consolidated Statements of cash flows data (in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	5,046	$	(10,867)
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(5,197)		12,430
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(120)		125
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(271)	$	1,688

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $5.0 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $10.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023, an increase in cash provided by operations of $15.9 million. The change was driven primarily from an increase in gross profit and a decrease in inventories partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $5.2 million as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $12.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The net change in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease of $20.3 million related to less proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment in the current period compared to the prior year period.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $0.1 million as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily due to net borrowing proceeds of $0.3 million under the Credit Facility in the prior year period.

Capital Expenditures

For the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our capital expenditures paid were $5.4 million and $6.9 million, respectively. In fiscal 2025, we anticipate paying between $9.0 million to $11.0 million in capital expenditures. We expect to finance these expenditures through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.8 million and $5.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had operating and finance lease payment commitments totaling $37.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates or judgments, however, are both subjective and subject to change, and actual results may differ from our assumptions and estimates. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. For a summary of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of our 2024 Form 10-K. For a summary of our critical accounting estimates, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates" in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 3.			Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

At December 31, 2024, we had outstanding borrowings on our Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.4 million of the letters of credit sublimit. The weighted average interest rate on our Revolver Credit Facility was 6.75%.

The following table demonstrates the impact of interest rate changes on our annual interest expense on outstanding borrowings subject to interest rate variability under these Credit Facility based on the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024:


(In thousands)	Principal	Interest Rate	Annual Interest Expense
–150 basis points	$23,300	5.25%	$1,223
–100 basis points	$23,300	5.75%	$1,340
Unchanged	$23,300	6.75%	$1,572
+100 basis points	$23,300	7.75%	$1,806
+150 basis points	$23,300	8.25%	$1,922

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to commodity price risk arising from changes in the market price of green coffee. We value green coffee inventory on the FIFO basis. In the normal course of business we hold a large green coffee inventory and enter into forward commodity purchase agreements with suppliers. We are subject to price risk resulting from the volatility of green coffee prices. Due to competition and market conditions, volatile price increases cannot always be passed on to our customers. See Note 4, Derivative Instruments, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussions of our derivative instruments.

The following table summarizes the potential impact as of December 31, 2024 to net gain (loss) and AOCI from a hypothetical 10% change in coffee commodity prices. The information provided below relates only to the coffee-related derivative instruments and does not include, when applicable, the corresponding changes in the underlying hedged items:


	Increase (Decrease) to Net Gain(Loss)				Increase (Decrease) to AOCI

(1) The Company’s purchase contracts that qualify as normal purchases include green coffee purchase commitments for which the price has been locked in as of December 31, 2024. These contracts are not included in the sensitivity analysis above as the underlying price has been fixed.
