NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company," "TreeHouse," "we," "us," or "our"), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes 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 December 31, 2024. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A detailed description of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

3. RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS
The Company’s restructuring and margin improvement activities ("Restructuring Programs") are part of an enterprise-wide transformation to improve the long-term profitability of the Company. As part of our Restructuring Programs, we generally incur expenses that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include severance, employee separation costs, and other exit costs. Severance and employee separation costs primarily relate to cash severance, non-cash severance, including accelerated equity award compensation expense, and other termination benefits. Other exit costs typically relate to lease and contract terminations. We also incur expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, our restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include asset-related costs and other costs. Asset-related costs primarily relate to inventory write-downs, accelerated depreciation, and certain long-lived asset impairments. Other costs primarily relate to start-up costs of new facilities, consulting and professional fees, retention costs, organizational redesign, information technology system implementation, asset relocation costs, and costs to exit facilities or production.
Organizational Restructuring
In April 2025, the Company announced a restructuring of our current business, including a reorganization of our corporate support functions, to drive greater operational efficiency, achieve significant cost-savings, and enhance profitability and cash flow, while improving quality and service levels. This resulted in employee-related severance costs which are included within Accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Ready-to-drink Business Exit
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company made the decision to exit the Ready-to-drink ("RTD") business as part of the Company's portfolio optimization strategy to focus on higher-growth, higher margin categories. During the first quarter of 2025, production for the RTD business ceased, and the Company sold the related machinery and equipment for a loss of $0.6 million. The loss on sale of the RTD assets was recorded within Other operating expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total costs related to the business exit are expected to be approximately $5.0 million, and the cumulative costs incurred to date are $3.8 million. These costs include the decommissioning and disposal of related assets and inventory, as well as other transitioning costs. The costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1.9 million.
Facility Closures
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company announced the closure of its New Hampton, Iowa facility in response to sustained shifts in consumer demand in the non-dairy creamer ("NDC") category and ongoing efforts to optimize our manufacturing footprint. Production at the facility is expected to cease in the third quarter of 2025. The Company will be consolidating NDC production into two existing facilities: Wayland, Michigan, and Pecatonica, Illinois. The Company expects the total costs related to the New Hampton facility closure and transition of production from New Hampton to the two existing facilities to be approximately $13.0 million. The costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $3.2 million.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company announced the closure of its Sioux Falls, South Dakota facility in connection with the integration of the Seasoned Pretzel Capability and has transitioned production from Sioux Falls to its Hanover, Pennsylvania facility. The costs related to this closure and the related production transition were insignificant.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed the closure of its Dallas, Texas Coffee facility in connection with the integration of the Coffee Roasting Capability and transitioned production from Dallas to its Northlake, Texas facility during the first half of 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company exited a distribution center in Grand Prairie, Texas as it continued to execute upon integration activities associated with the Coffee Roasting Capability acquisition. The Company expects the total costs related to the Dallas facility closure and associated distribution network optimization to be approximately $14.0 million, and the cumulative costs incurred to date are $12.9 million. The costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were $0.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Expenses associated with these activities are recorded in Cost of sales and Other operating expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4. RECEIVABLES SALES PROGRAM
The Company has entered into an agreement to sell certain trade accounts receivable to an unrelated, third-party financial institution at a discount (collectively, the "Receivables Sales Program"). The agreement can be terminated by either party with 60 days' notice. The Receivables Sales Program is used by the Company to manage liquidity in a cost-effective manner. The Company has no retained interest in the receivables sold under the Receivables Sales Program; however, under the agreement, the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. Under the Receivables Sales Program, the current operating limit of outstanding accounts receivables sold at any time is $397.5 million.
The following table includes the outstanding amount of accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Sales Program and the receivables collected from customers and not remitted to the financial institution:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
| | (In millions) |
Outstanding accounts receivable sold | | $ | 282.5 | | | $ | 375.0 | |
Receivables collected and not remitted to financial institution | | 159.0 | | | 237.7 | |
Receivables sold under the Receivables Sales Program are derecognized from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time of the sale and the proceeds from such sales are reflected as a component of the change in receivables in the operating activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The receivables collected and not remitted to the financial institution are included in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table summarizes the cash flows of the Company's accounts receivable associated with the Receivables Sales Program:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 |
| | (In millions) |
Receivables sold | | $ | 420.3 | | | $ | 243.2 | |
Receivables collected and remitted to financial institution | | (512.8) | | | (343.8) | |
The loss on sale of receivables represents the discount taken by the third-party financial institution and was $2.9 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has not recognized any servicing assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

6. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Private Brand Tea Business
On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of certain subsidiaries that operate the private brand tea business of Harris Freeman & Co, Inc. ("Harris Tea"), a leading private brand tea manufacturer in the U.S., for approximately $207.6 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In addition to private brand tea, Harris Tea manufactures specialty retail tea brands and foodservice tea products for the restaurant and hospitality industries. The acquisition aligns with our long-term strategy to build capabilities in our higher-growth, higher-margin categories.
The acquisition is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the results of operations were included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are Harris Tea’s net sales of approximately $38.6 million and income before income taxes of $1.9 million from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2025. The Company incurred approximately $3.0 million in acquisition-related costs, of which $0.3 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. These costs are included in General and administrative expense of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The acquired receivables includes gross amounts due of $11.4 million which were determined to be collectible. The operating lease right-of-use assets acquired of $25.7 million includes a $6.5 million off-market lease fair value adjustment. The intangible assets acquired include $65.0 million of customer relationships with an estimated life of 20 years and $12.9 million of trademarks with an estimated life of 10 years. The aforementioned intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company increased the cost of acquired inventories by approximately $1.9 million and expensed this amount as a component of Cost of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025, for the amortization of the inventory fair value step up adjustment. The Company recognized $69.7 million of goodwill relating to the acquisition. The primary factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill are growth opportunities provided by vertical integration and customer synergies from its existing coffee and tea businesses. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition is tax deductible, as it is considered an asset acquisition for tax purposes.

Personal property fair values were determined using the cost approach, and the real estate lease fair values were determined using the income approach. The fair values for customer relationships at the acquisition date were determined using the excess earnings method under the income approach, while trademark fair values were determined using the relief from royalty method. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates.
The purchase price allocation in the table above is preliminary and subject to the finalization of the Company's valuation analysis.
The following unaudited pro forma information shows the results of operations for the Company as if its Harris Tea acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2024. Adjustments have been made for the pro forma effects of depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets recognized as part of the business combination, the amortization of the inventory fair value step-up, the amortization of off-market lease adjustments, acquisition-related costs, and related income taxes. The pro forma results may not necessarily reflect actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

Smucker Co., a North American producer of coffee, consumer foods, dog snacks, and cat food. The acquisition is consistent with our strategy and builds depth in our Pickles category by expanding into Canada. The total purchase consideration transferred was approximately $25.9 million in cash. The purchase of the Pickle Branded Assets was accounted for as an Asset Acquisition.

9. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes were recognized at effective rates of 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 23.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024 is primarily driven by changes in the amounts of executive compensation that is not deductible for tax purposes and the estimated amount of annual pre-tax earnings. Our effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors, including the jurisdictional mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state income taxes, settlement of tax audits, and the expiration of the statute of limitations in relation to unrecognized tax benefits.
Management estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $0.4 million within the next 12 months, primarily as a result of the lapsing of statutes of limitations. Approximately all of the $0.4 million could affect net income when settled. The timing of cash settlement, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated for uncertain tax benefits.

The Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Company’s prior Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2017 (as amended from time to time prior to January 17, 2025), pursuant to which the Company obtained a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), a $500.0 million term A loan (the "Term Loan A") and a $900.0 million tranche A-1 term loan (the "Term Loan A-1" and, together with the Term Loan A, the "Term Loans"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company (i) continued and extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans, (ii) decreased the aggregate size of the Term Loan A to $480.0 million and (iii) decreased the aggregate size of the Term Loan A-1 to $425.0 million.

On March 14, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which amends and restates the defined term "Existing Letters of Credit." The material terms and conditions under the Credit Agreement are otherwise substantially consistent with those contained in the Credit Agreement prior to Amendment No. 1.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt — During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $2.6 million representing the write-off of deferred financing costs in connection with the Credit Agreement refinancing in January 2025.
Revolving Credit Facility — As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $25.0 million drawn from its $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Company had remaining availability of $443.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, and there were $31.9 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility that were issued but undrawn, which have been included as a reduction to the calculation of available credit. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 17, 2030.
Interest is payable in arrears the earlier of the end of the applicable interest period, quarterly, or the maturity date on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The interest rates for the Revolving Credit Facility are determined by Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.00%, through the second quarter of 2025. Thereafter, the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.50% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Company will also pay an unused fee on the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, with the initial unused fee set at 0.30%. The Revolving Credit Facility includes sub-facilities for swing line loans and letters of credit.
The Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally, as well as jointly and severally, guaranteed by our 100% owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries: Bay Valley Foods, LLC; Cottage Bakery, Inc.; Harris Tea Company LLC; Linette Quality Chocolates, Inc.; Pickles Manufacturing LLC; Protenergy Holdings, Inc.; Protenergy Natural Foods, Inc.; Ralcorp Frozen Bakery Products, Inc.; Refrigerated Dough, Inc.; Southern Tea, LLC; Sturm Foods, Inc.; TreeHouse Foods Services, LLC; TreeHouse Private Brands, Inc.; and certain other domestic subsidiaries that may become guarantors in the future, which are collectively known as the "Guarantor Subsidiaries." The Credit Agreement contains various financial and restrictive covenants and requires that the Company maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of no greater than 4.50 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments in the event TreeHouse or the Guarantor Subsidiaries (i) fails to make a payment when due in respect of any indebtedness or guarantee having an aggregate principal amount greater than $75.0 million or (ii) fails to observe or perform any other agreement or condition related to such indebtedness or guarantee as a result of which the holder(s) of such debt are permitted to accelerate the payment of such debt.
Term Loan A — On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into a $480.0 million Term Loan A with a maturity date of January 17, 2030. The interest rates for Term Loan A are determined by Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.275%, through the second quarter of 2025. Thereafter, Term Loan A will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.525% to 2.775% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.525% to 1.775% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio; provided that the Company and Term Loan A lenders may agree to a quoted fixed rate for the Term Loan A at a future date. The principal balance is due at maturity. Interest is payable in arrears the earlier of the end of the applicable interest period, quarterly, or the maturity date on any outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan A. Term Loan A is subject to substantially the same covenants as the Revolving Credit Facility, and also has the same Guarantor Subsidiaries.
Term Loan A-1 — On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into a $425.0 million Term Loan A-1. The maturity date and interest rates applicable to Term Loan A-1 are the same as those applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest is payable in arrears the earlier of the end of the applicable interest period, quarterly, or the maturity date on any outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan A-1. Principal payments are due on a quarterly basis, beginning June 30, 2025, in an amount equal to (i) 0.25% of the $425.0 million original commitment for the first eight quarterly installments and (ii) 1.25% of the $425.0 million original commitment thereafter until maturity. Term Loan A-1 is subject to substantially the same covenants as the Revolving Credit Facility, and has the same Guarantor Subsidiaries.
2028 Notes — On September 9, 2020, the Company completed its public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes (the "2028 Notes"). The 2028 Notes pay interest at the rate of 4.000% per annum and mature on September 1, 2028. Interest is payable on the 2028 Notes on March 1 and September 1 of each year.

Fair Value — At March 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of the Company's total debt was $1,382.0 million and its carrying value was $1,430.0 million. At December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of the Company's total debt was $1,359.8 million and its carrying value was $1,405.0 million. The fair values of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan A-1 were estimated using present value techniques and market-based interest rates and credit spreads. The fair value of the Company's 2028 Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments due to their infrequent trading volume. Accordingly, the fair value of the Company's debt is classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
Deferred Financing Costs — As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred financing costs of $11.5 million and $6.7 million were included as a direct deduction from outstanding long-term debt, respectively. Fees associated with the Revolving Credit Facility are presented in Other assets, net. Deferred financing costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives based on the terms of their respective agreements.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Authorization — On November 13, 2024, the Company announced that the Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a $400 million stock repurchase program. This authorization is open ended, and any repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made by means of open market transactions, negotiated block transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on price, market and business conditions, and other factors. The Company has the ability to make discretionary repurchases up to an annual cap of $150 million, and $393.5 million remained available under the $400 million total authorization of the stock repurchase program as of March 31, 2025.

Performance Units — Performance unit awards, which are granted to certain members of management, contain both service, performance, and market conditions as described below.
•For performance unit awards granted in 2022 through 2023, performance goals are set and measured annually with one-quarter of the units eligible to accrue for each year in the three-year performance period. Accrued shares are earned at the end of each performance period but remain subject to forfeiture until the third anniversary of the grant date.
•For performance unit awards granted in 2024 and 2025, performance goals were established upfront and will be measured over a cumulative three-year performance period. The units will accrue each month, multiplied by a predefined percentage between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures. Accrued shares are not earned until the end of the full three-year performance period and remain subject to forfeiture until the third anniversary of the grant date.
The performance unit awards include a tranche measured using a relative total shareholder return ("TSR") market condition over a three-year performance goal. The units will accrue, multiplied by a predefined percentage between 0% and 150% for years 2022 through 2023 and between 0% and 200% for 2024 and 2025, for the relative TSR measure, depending on the achievement attainment over the three-year performance period based on the Company's absolute annualized TSR relative to the annualized TSR of a Peer Group. These awards will be converted to stock or cash, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, generally, on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company intends to settle these awards in stock and has the shares available to do so.
Performance unit awards with market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price or the average Peer Group stock price. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant with a term equivalent to the expected term of the award. The expected term is the time period from the grant date to the end of the performance period. The fair value of the portion of the awards based on relative TSR was valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model with a grant-date fair value of $38.26 on approximately 32,900 units granted in 2025. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Griddle Product Recall and Related Costs
On October 18, 2024, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of certain frozen waffle products produced at its Brantford, Ontario, Canada facility, and on October 22, 2024, the Company expanded its voluntary recall to include all products manufactured at the Brantford facility that are still within their shelf-life. These frozen griddle products may have had the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The Company recorded a product recall liability for estimated product returns and claims, which is included within Accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, of $12.8 million as of March 31, 2025 and $9.6 million as of December 31, 2024.
The Company is seeking to recover the recall-related costs through its insurance coverage, and such recoveries are recorded in the period in which the recoveries are determined to be probable of realization. The amount of the product recall liability represents the probable and reasonably estimable costs directly associated with the recall. However, the total actual costs could differ materially due to uncertainties related to customer return rates, additional recall expenses, litigation, or other unforeseen events.
Shareholder Derivative Actions
The Company, as nominal defendant, and certain of its former officers are parties to a consolidated shareholder derivative suit captioned Wells and the City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement System v. Reed, et al., Case Nos. 2016-CH-16359 and 2019-CH-06753 (Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois).
The consolidated lawsuit alleges that TreeHouse, under the authority and control of the individual defendants: (i) made certain false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and future prospects; and (ii) failed to disclose that (a) the Company's private label business was underperforming; (b) the Company's Flagstone Foods business was underperforming; (c) the Company's acquisition strategy was underperforming; (d) the Company had overstated its full-year 2016 guidance; and (e) TreeHouse's statements lacked reasonable basis. The complaints allege, among other things, that these actions artificially inflated the market price of TreeHouse common stock and resulted in harm to the Company.
On August 26, 2022, plaintiffs in the consolidated Wells case filed a second consolidated amended complaint, which was dismissed in its entirety with prejudice on March 15, 2023. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on March 16, 2023. On March 22, 2024, the Appellate Court reversed the state trial court’s dismissal of the consolidated amended complaint and remanded to the state trial court for further proceedings. On October 1, 2024, the parties advised the state trial court of their agreement in principle to settle the action, and on the same day, the court entered an order staying all proceedings pending the submission of a motion for preliminary settlement approval. On December 18, 2024, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, and final settlement approval was granted on April 2, 2025.
Other Claims
In February 2014, TreeHouse, along with its 100% owned subsidiaries, Bay Valley Foods, LLC and Sturm Foods, Inc., filed suit against Keurig Dr. Pepper Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, Keurig Green Mountain ("KGM"), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned TreeHouse Foods, Inc. et al. v. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. et al. asserting claims under the federal antitrust laws, various state antitrust laws and unfair competition statutes, contending that KGM had monopolized alleged markets for single serve coffee brewers and single serve coffee pods. The Company is seeking monetary damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees, which monetary damages, in August 2020, were estimated by the Company's economic expert to be in the range of $719.4 million to $1.5 billion for the Company's antitrust claims, before trebling, and $358.0 million for a subset of the Company's false advertising claims, without accounting for discretionary trebling by the Court. The matter remains pending, with summary judgment motions fully briefed. On March 28, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued an Opinion and Order granting in part and denying in part the TreeHouse sanctions motion against KGM and denying the KGM sanctions motion against TreeHouse. KGM has appealed a portion of the Opinion and Order awarding sanctions to the Company. On January 3, 2025, the Court denied KGM's motions to exclude the opinions of the Company's experts and granted Plaintiffs' motion to exclude the opinion of KGM's sham litigation expert. KGM is denying the allegations made by the Company in the litigation. The Company has not recorded any amount in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025.

In addition, the Company is party in the ordinary course of business to certain claims, litigation, audits, and investigations. The Company will record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has established adequate accruals for liabilities that are probable and reasonably estimable that may be incurred in connection with any such currently pending or threatened matter. In the Company's opinion, the eventual resolution of such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
17. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Interest Rate Swap Agreements — The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.
The Company has entered into long-term interest rate swap agreements to lock into a fixed interest rate base that have a notional value of $875.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and $1,750.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Under the terms of the agreements, $875.0 million in variable-rate debt is swapped for a weighted average fixed interest rate base of approximately 3.69% through February 29, 2028.
Commodity Contracts — Certain commodities the Company uses in the production and distribution of its products are exposed to market price risk. The Company utilizes derivative contracts to manage this risk. The majority of commodity forward contracts are not derivatives, and those that are generally qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities and, therefore, are not subject to its provisions. For derivative commodity contracts that do not qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception, the Company accounts for the contracts as derivatives.
The Company's derivative commodity contracts may include contracts for diesel, oil, plastics, resin, and other commodity contracts that do not meet the requirements for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception. Diesel contracts are used to manage the Company's risk associated with the underlying cost of diesel fuel used to deliver products. Contracts for oil, plastics, and resin are used to manage the Company's risk associated with the underlying commodity cost of a significant component used in packaging materials. Other commodity contracts that are derivatives that do not meet the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are used to manage the price risk associated with raw material costs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the notional value of the commodity contracts outstanding was $90.4 million and $61.5 million, respectively. These commodity contracts have maturities expiring throughout 2025 and 2026 as of March 31, 2025.
The following table identifies the fair value of each derivative instrument:

18. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment Information —The Company has one reportable segment, which manufactures and distributes private brands food and beverages. Our products are primarily shelf stable and share similar customers and distribution. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. Those business activities include selling snacking offerings, beverages and drink mix offerings, and other grocery offerings across various channels including retail grocery, co-manufacturing, and food-away-from-home customers in shelf stable, refrigerated, and frozen formats. The majority of our manufacturing plants each produce one food or beverage category. We operate our business with a centralized financial systems infrastructure, and we share centralized resources for procurement and general and administrative activities. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for the Company and can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
The Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") has been identified as our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). We have one segment manager who reports directly to the CODM, with their incentive compensation based on the consolidated results of the Company. The Company manages operations on a company-wide basis, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources as one segment. The annual operating plan is prepared and approved by the CODM based on consolidated results of the Company. The CODM uses discrete financial information at the consolidated level to assess performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on the Company's consolidated Net loss, which is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Total assets.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to those Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. See Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with these statements.
Recent Developments
Organizational Restructuring
In April 2025, the Company announced a restructuring of our current business, including a reorganization of our corporate support functions, to drive greater operational efficiency, achieve significant cost-savings, and enhance profitability and cash flow, while improving quality and service levels. Refer to Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
New Hampton, Iowa Facility Closure
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company announced the closure of its New Hampton, Iowa facility in response to sustained shifts in consumer demand in the non-dairy creamer ("NDC") category and ongoing efforts to optimize our manufacturing footprint. Production at the facility is expected to cease in the third quarter of 2025. The Company will be consolidating NDC production into two existing facilities: Wayland, Michigan, and Pecatonica, Illinois. Refer to Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Debt Refinancing
On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.
The Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Company’s prior Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2017 (as amended from time to time prior to January 17, 2025), pursuant to which the Company obtained a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), a $500.0 million term A loan (the "Term Loan A") and a $900.0 million tranche A-1 term loan (the "Term Loan A-1" and, together with the Term Loan A, the "Term Loans"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company (i) continued and extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans, (ii) decreased the aggregate size of the Term Loan A to $480.0 million and (iii) decreased the aggregate size of the Term Loan A-1 to $425.0 million. Refer to Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Acquisition of Private Brand Tea Business
On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of certain subsidiaries that operate the private brand tea business of Harris Freeman & Co, Inc. ("Harris Tea"), a leading private brand tea manufacturer in the U.S., for approximately $207.6 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In addition to private brand tea, Harris Tea manufactures specialty retail tea brands and foodservice tea products for restaurant and hospitality industries. The acquisition aligns with our long-term strategy to build capabilities in our higher-growth, higher-margin categories. Refer to Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Impact of Griddle Voluntary Recall
In the third quarter of 2024, our results of operations were impacted by a voluntary recall of frozen griddle products produced at our Brantford, Ontario, Canada facility that were still within their shelf-life, which required us to perform plant restoration activities during the fourth quarter of 2024. As of the first quarter of 2025, we have resumed production of frozen griddle products at the Brantford facility and are continuing to advance production capacity and capability. Given the facility has not yet reached full capacity, we expect to have impacts to our sales volumes during the first half of 2025. Refer to Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The Company is seeking to recover the recall-related costs through its insurance coverage, and such recoveries are recorded in the period in which the recoveries are determined to be probable of realization.
RTD Business Exit
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company made the decision to exit the RTD business as part of the Company's portfolio optimization strategy to focus on higher-growth, higher margin categories. During the first quarter of 2025, production for the RTD business ceased, and the Company sold the related machinery and equipment. Refer to Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Macroeconomic Conditions and Trends
Persistent inflationary pressures on U.S. households are contributing to sluggish overall food and beverage consumption trends. In the categories where TreeHouse operates, private brands have consistently gained unit market share when compared to national brands, which we believe demonstrates the advantages of the private brands market. We continue to monitor consumption trends including the increased use and/or prevalence of certain weight loss drugs, which may or may not impact consumer preferences and consumption patterns. Additionally, economic uncertainty may further impact consumer spending and thus, consumption trends.
Many of our ingredients and packaging input costs remain elevated when compared to historical levels, including the prices of coffee and cocoa. In response, from time to time we will implement pricing actions to recover these higher costs. We will continue to monitor the inflationary environment, as well as regulatory impacts on food ingredients, to determine if additional pricing actions will be necessary.
As it relates to tariffs, our manufacturing footprint consists of 22 production facilities in the United States and five in Canada. A substantial portion of our products manufactured in Canada that are shipped to the United States qualify for duty-free treatment under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"). However, we do incur tariffs on certain finished goods imported into Canada, and we source a portion of our raw materials and packaging from international suppliers, which may be subject to additional duties or trade-related costs. We are actively implementing alternative sourcing strategies and pricing actions to help mitigate these impacts.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Net Sales — Net sales for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $792.0 million compared to $820.7 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $28.7 million, or 3.5%. The change in net sales from 2024 to 2025 was due to the following:

| | | | |
| | | | |
(1)Adjusted net sales is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section for additional information.
| | |
The net sales decrease of 3.5% was primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix related to planned margin management actions, broader macroeconomic consumption trends, and service impacts related to the voluntary recall of frozen griddle products. Additionally, the RTD business exit contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by the acquisition of the private brand tea business, favorable pricing to recover commodity inflation, and distribution gains. |
|
Gross Profit — Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 14.5% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 13.6% in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 0.9 percentage points. The increase in Gross profit is primarily due to the execution of supply chain savings initiatives, favorable pricing to recover commodity inflation, and a mix benefit from Harris Tea. |
|
Total Operating Expenses — Total operating expenses were $120.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $117.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $3.5 million. The increase is due to increased restructuring costs primarily related to severance expense, which was partially offset by lower freight and commission costs. |
|
Total Other Expense — Total other expense was $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase in expense of $28.0 million. This was primarily due to a $24.0 million unfavorable change in non-cash mark-to-market impact from hedging activities, largely driven by interest rate swaps. Additionally, the Company had an increase of $3.7 million in interest expense primarily due to an increase in borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by a favorable currency exchange rate impact of $3.7 million between the U.S. and Canada. |
|
Income Taxes — Income taxes were recognized at an effective rate of 27.1% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 23.5% recognized in the first quarter of 2024. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily driven by changes in the amounts of executive compensation that is not deductible for tax purposes and the estimated amount of annual pre-tax earnings. |
|
Our effective tax rate may change from period to period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the jurisdictional mix of earnings, enacted tax legislation, state income taxes, settlement of tax audits, and the expiration of the statute of limitations in relation to unrecognized tax benefits. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management assesses the Company's liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing, and financing activities. The Company remains in a strong financial position, with resources available for reinvesting in existing businesses, conducting acquisitions, and managing its capital structure on a short and long-term basis.
Receivables Sales Program
The Company achieves a more efficient cash conversion cycle while strategically managing customer payment terms and counterparty risk through its Receivables Sales Program. Our Receivables Sales Program provides us timely and lower cost access to liquidity that is more effective than other working capital tools, including offering early payment discounts, negotiating shorter payment terms, or drawing on our Revolving Credit Facility.
Approximately $115.0 million was available under the Receivables Sales Program operating limit as of March 31, 2025. See Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our Receivables Sales Program.
Revolving Credit Facility
If additional borrowings are needed, approximately $443.1 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025. See Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Facility. We are in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and expect to meet foreseeable financial requirements.
Cash Flow
The following table is derived from our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 |
| | (In millions) |
Net Cash Flows (Used In) Provided By: | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | (53.5) | | | $ | (52.4) | |
Investing activities | | (231.1) | | | (28.1) | |
Financing activities | | 11.2 | | | (47.8) | |
| | | | |
Operating Activities
| | |
Net cash used in operating activities was $53.5 million in the first three months of 2025 compared to $52.4 million in the first three months of 2024, an increase in cash used of $1.1 million, which was mostly attributable to timing of working capital. |
Investing Activities
| | |
Net cash used in investing activities was $231.1 million in the first three months of 2025 compared to $28.1 million in the first three months of 2024, an increase in cash used of $203.0 million. The increase in cash used for investing activities in the first three months of 2025 was primarily driven by the $209.3 million of cash used for the acquisition of the private brand tea business in the first quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by proceeds of $4.1 million from the sale of machinery and equipment related to the RTD business exit and lower capital expenditures of $2.4 million during the first three months of 2025. |
Financing Activities
| | |
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.2 million in the first three months of 2025 compared to $47.8 million net cash used in financing activities in the first three months of 2024, an increase in cash provided of $59.0 million. The increase in cash provided is primarily due to $43.9 million of non-recurring common stock repurchases during the first three months of 2024 and cash inflows from the Revolving Credit Facility of $25.0 million in the first three months of 2025. This was partially offset by debt issuance costs related to the debt refinancing that occurred in January 2025. |
Debt Obligations
On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. The Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces the prior Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company (i) continued and extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans, (ii) decreased the aggregate size of the Term Loan A to $480.0 million and (iii) decreased the aggregate size of the Term Loan A-1 to $425.0 million.
At March 31, 2025, we had $480.0 million outstanding under Term Loan A, $425.0 million outstanding under Term Loan A-1, $500.0 million of the 2028 Notes outstanding, and $4.3 million of finance lease obligations.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $25.0 million drawn from its $500.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Company had remaining availability of $443.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, and there were $31.9 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility that were issued but undrawn, which have been included as a reduction to the calculation of available credit.
The Company has long-term interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate base in order to mitigate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2025, we have an outstanding variable-rate debt balance of $930.0 million, and our interest rate swap agreements have a notional value of $875.0 million. Under the terms of the agreements, these interest rate swaps mature on February 29, 2028. As a result, our variable-rate debt is nearly fully hedged with our fixed rate interest rate swaps through 2028.
The Credit Agreement contains various financial and restrictive covenants and requires that the Company maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of no greater than 4.50 to 1.0, and our debt obligations contain customary representations and events of default. We are in compliance with all applicable debt covenants as of March 31, 2025.
See Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our debt obligations.

Non-GAAP Measures
We have included in this report measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP ("Non-GAAP"). A Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As described further below, we believe these measures provide useful information to the users of the financial statements.
For each of these Non-GAAP financial measures, we provide a reconciliation between the Non-GAAP measure and the most directly comparable GAAP measure, an explanation of why management believes the Non-GAAP measure provides useful information to financial statement users, and any additional purposes for which management uses the Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information for the financial statement users and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability
EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted net sales. EBITDA represents net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to identify items that, in management’s judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s earnings performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as Company management. As the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of charges that include, but are not limited to, items such as product recalls and related costs, restructuring programs, acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability, management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company’s performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are performance measures commonly used by management to assess operating performance and incentive compensation, and the Company believes they are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company’s operating performance between periods and as a component of our debt covenant calculations.
Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Total Operating Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Total Other Expense, Adjusted Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability
Adjusted net sales, adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted total other expense, adjusted income tax (benefit) expense, and adjusted net income (loss) represent their respective GAAP presentation line item adjusted for items such as product recalls and related costs, restructuring programs, acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability. Management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company’s performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s earnings performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as Company management. The Company has presented each of these adjusted Non-GAAP measures as a percentage of adjusted net sales compared to its respective reported GAAP presentation line item as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share ("Adjusted diluted EPS") is determined by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects adjustments to GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods.
The following table reconciles the Company's net loss as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the relevant GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Free Cash Flow
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a Non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash used in operating activities, less capital expenditures and proceeds from sales of fixed assets. We believe free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt, repurchasing public debt, and repurchasing our common stock.
The following table reconciles cash flow used in operating activities (a GAAP measure) to our free cash flow (a Non-GAAP measure).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
From time to time, we and our representatives may provide information, whether orally or in writing, including certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are deemed to be "forward-looking" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Litigation Reform Act"). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.
The words "believe," "estimate," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "intend," "foresee," "should," "would," "could," and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, or intended. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements following the date of this report. In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other public statements we make. Such factors include, but are not limited to: risks related to quality issues, disruptions, or inefficiencies in our supply chain and/or operations; product recalls; loss or consolidation of key suppliers; raw material and commodity costs due to inflation; labor strikes or work stoppages; multiemployer pension plans; labor shortages and increased competition for labor; success of our restructuring programs; our level of indebtedness and related obligations; disruptions in the financial markets; uncertain effects, both direct and indirect, of changes and volatility in tariffs and trade policies; interest rates; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; customer concentration and consolidation; competition; our ability to execute on our business strategy; our ability to continue to make acquisitions and execute on divestitures or effectively manage the growth from acquisitions; impairment of goodwill or long lived assets; changes and developments affecting our industry, including customer preferences and the prevalence of weight loss drugs; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we and/or our customers may be a party; changes in laws and regulations applicable to us; shareholder activism; disruptions in or failures of our information technology systems; geopolitical events; changes in weather conditions, climate changes, and natural disasters; and other risks that are set forth in the Risk Factors section, the Legal Proceedings section, the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section, and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to certain market risks, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations. The Company uses derivative instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Refer to Note 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these derivative instruments.
For additional information regarding the Company's exposure to certain market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, within the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the Company's portfolio of financial instruments or market risk exposures from the 2024 year-end.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of March 31, 2025, management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures includes all of the Company’s subsidiaries with the exception of the internal control over financial reporting of the operations of the acquisition of the private brand tea business, which was completed on January 2, 2025. This exclusion is in accordance with the general guidance from the Staff of the SEC that an assessment of a recently acquired business's internal control over financial reporting may be omitted from the scope of management’s assessment for a period of up to one year following the acquisition. We are in the process of implementing the Company’s internal control over financial reporting of the acquisition. The net sales and total assets of the acquisition represented approximately 4.9% and 6.1%, respectively, of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement amounts as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
