NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
i
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 restaurant, 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.
On
June 30, 2023, the Company completed its 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 (the "Sale"). The Sale and the related direct ship and private label operations are reported in loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations for more information related to the Sale and the discontinued operations.
All other footnotes present results of the continuing operations.
i
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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
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, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2023, as amended
by the Form 10-K/A filed on October 27, 2023 (as amended, the “2023 Form 10-K”).
i
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. Certain amounts disclosed in fiscal 2023 have been reclassified to conform
with the discontinued operations.
i
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.
Correction of an Immaterial
Error
/
In conjunction with our close process for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company identified an error related to certain vehicle operating leases which were not properly recorded as a right of use asset and right of use liability in accordance with ASC Topic 842 and were corrected as of December 31, 2023. The correction of this error had no impact on the statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss), or the statement of cash flows. No adjustments were necessary for prior periods as the effects were immaterial.
i
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 2023 Form 10-K.
During the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
i
Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 2023 and June 30,
2023, 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.
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.
i
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 March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”)
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is being discontinued between December 2021 and June 2023. The Company has not entered into any new contracts after December 31, 2021 subject to LIBOR. With the overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR rates being published through June 30, 2023, we will continue to leverage these
for the existing contracts.
ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rate.
The Company does not anticipate any material impacts on its consolidated
financial statements.
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.
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.
The Company is still evaluating the impact of this standard.

Note
3. Discontinued Operations
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 accounting requirements for reporting the Sale as a discontinued operation were met when the Sale was completed as of June 30, 2023. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Sale as a discontinued operation. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $i1.2 million
related to a working capital adjustment.
The Company also entered into (i) a Transition Services Agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which the Company will provide the Buyer certain specified services on a temporary basis, (ii) a Co-Manufacturing Agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which the Company and Buyer will manufacture certain products for each other on a temporary basis and (iii) a Lease Agreement with the Buyer pursuant to which the Company will lease office and warehouse space from the Buyer on a temporary basis.

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 2023 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.

Interest Rate Swap Derivative Instruments
Pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement, which was effective March 20, 2019, the Company on March 27, 2019, entered into an interest rate swap transaction utilizing
a notional amount of $i80.0 million, with an effective date of April 11, 2019 and a maturity date of October 11, 2023 (the “Original Rate Swap”). In December 2019, the Company amended the notional amount to $i65.0
million. The Original Rate Swap was intended to manage the Company’s interest rate risk on its floating-rate indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
The Company had designated the Original Rate Swap derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge; however, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company de-designated the Original Rate Swap derivative instruments. On May 16, 2023, the Company settled
the Original Rate Swap. The net settlement of the Original Rate Swap was a $i13 thousand loss.

Offsetting
of Derivative Assets and Liabilities
The Company has agreements in place that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and liabilities at settlement or in the event of default under the agreements. Additionally, under certain coffee derivative agreements, the Company maintains accounts with its counterparties to facilitate financial derivative transactions in support of its risk management activities.
ii
The
following table presents the Company’s net exposure from its offsetting derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral on deposit with its counterparties as of the reporting dates indicated:
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold in the same period or periods in which the hedged forecasted purchases affect earnings, or when it is probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Based on recorded values at December 31, 2023, $i0.1
million of net gains on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are expected to be reclassified into cost of goods sold within the next 12 months. These recorded values are based on market prices of the commodities as of December 31, 2023.

Weighted-Average Assumptions Used to Determine Net Periodic Benefit Cost
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.

Multiemployer
Plans Other Than Pension Plans
The Company participates in inine 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 March 31, 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 i1,000
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.
Beginning in January 2022, the Company amended the 401(k) matching program, whereby the Company on a quarterly basis, will contribute, instead of cash, shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $i1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) with a value equal to i50% of any non-union employee's annual contribution to the
401(k) Plan, up to i6% of such employee's eligible income. The terms of the match are substantially the same as the safe-harbor non-elective contribution. On January 1, 2023, the Company changed its match to i100%
of the first i3% each eligible employee contributes plus i50%

the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Increase Joinder and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”), with Wells Fargo, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group and as a lender. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement (the “3rd Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for each member of the lender group and as a lender.
On June 30, 2023, the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into that certain Consent and Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group. The Fourth Amendment amends that certain Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, originally entered into by and among the parties on April 26, 2021. The Fourth Amendment includes a consent to the Sale by the administrative agent and the lenders and amends certain terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement by, among other things: (i) reflecting the payoff in full, with proceeds from the Sale, of the $i47.0 million
outstanding amount of the Term Loan, (ii) reflecting the paydown, with proceeds from the Sale, of the Revolver Credit Facility (and a reduction of the maximum commitment of the lenders under the Revolver Credit Facility to $i75.0 million), (iii) releasing liens of the administrative agent securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement on assets sold pursuant to the Sale, and (iv) amending the Credit Agreement so that the Company's financial covenant (i.e., fixed charge coverage ratio)
is only in effect during such times when the Company's liquidity falls below certain thresholds.
On December 4, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries entered into that certain Consent and Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement (the “Consent and Amendment”), with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for each member of the lender group (in such capacity, the “Agent”) to amended certain terms of the agreement, including the definition of specified real property and the release of security interests
in certain real properties. The Consent and Amendment amends that certain Credit Agreement, originally entered into by the parties on April 26, 2021, which governs the Company’s revolving credit facility (as amended or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”).
The following is a summary description of the Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and the Revolver Security Agreement (the "Revolver Security Facility") key items.
The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement, among other things include:
1.a commitment of up to $i75.0
million (“Revolver”) calculated as the lesser of (a) $i75.0 million or (b) the amount equal to the sum of (i) i85% of eligible accounts receivable (less a dilution reserve), plus (ii) the lesser of: (a)
i80% of eligible raw material inventory, eligible in-transit inventory and eligible finished goods inventory (collectively, “Eligible Inventory”), and (b) i85% of the net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory, minus (c) applicable reserve;

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 (i1.75%),
and otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate (the greater of the Federal Funds Rate + i0.5% or Term SOFR +i1%) plus the Base Rate Margin (i0.75%).;
and
6.in the event that Borrowers’ availability to borrow under the Revolver falls below $i9.375 million, the financial covenant requires the Company to meet or exceed a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least i1.00:1.00
at all such times.
The Revolver Credit Facility Agreement and the Revolver Security Agreement 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, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $i23.3
million and had utilized $i4.6 million of the letters of credit sublimit. At December 31, 2023, we had $i24.5
million available for borrowing under our Revolver Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 2023, 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 ithree-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.
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, 2023:
The
weighted average grant date fair value of CRSUs granted during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $i2.42 and $i6.40,

Note 14. Other Current Liabilities
i
Other
current liabilities consist of the following:
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.
Tax expense in the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $i164 thousand compared to $i40 thousand in the three
months ended December 31, 2022, which primarily relates to state income tax, the change in previously recorded valuation allowance and the change in our estimated deferred tax liability.
Tax expense in the six months ended December 31, 2023 was $i32 thousand compared to $i83 thousand
in the six months ended December 31, 2022, which primarily relates to state income tax, the change in previously recorded valuation allowance and the change in our estimated deferred tax liability.
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, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits by taxing authorities for any years prior to 2020. 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 17. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic
net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing diluted net income (loss) 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, RSUs and shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Participating Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $i1.00
per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), as converted, 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, 2022, shares of the Company’s outstanding RSUs, PBRSUs and stock options were not included in the computation of diluted loss per common share as their effects were anti-dilutive.

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
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) contain forward-looking statements 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, 2023 filed with
the SEC on September 12, 2023, as amended by the Form 10-K/A filed on October 27, 2023 (as amended, the “2023 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. The Company’s results of operations for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the discontinued operations related to the Sale.
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, 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, comparable or similar to COVID-19, 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 and interest rate risk, 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.

Results of
Operations
The following table sets forth information regarding our consolidated results of continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except percentages):
Net sales in the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased $0.5 million, or 0.6%, to $89.5 million from $88.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to higher pricing and product mix compared to the prior period.
Net sales in the six months ended December 31, 2023
increased $2.6 million, or 1.5%, to $171.3 million from $168.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2023 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 three and six months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (in millions):
Unit sales decreased 8.5% and average unit price increased by 9.5% in the three months ended December 31, 2023 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, 2023 due to price increases.
Unit sales decreased 7.6% and average unit price increased by 9.5% in the six months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, resulting in an increase in our net sales of 1.5%. Average unit price increased during the six months ended December 31, 2023 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, 2023 or 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross
profit increased to $36.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $31.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Gross margin increased to 40.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 from 34.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved pricing and a decrease in underlying commodities pricing compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit increased to $66.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $58.0 million for the
24
six
months ended December 31, 2022. Gross margin increased to 39.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2023 from 34.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to improved pricing and a decrease in underlying commodities pricing compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Operating Expenses
In the three months ended December 31, 2023, operating expenses decreased $2.6 million to $31.7 million, or 35.4% of net sales, from $34.3 million, or 38.5% of net sales in the prior year period. This decrease was due to $6.2 million increase in net gains from the sale of branch properties and other assets during the three months ended December 31,
2023 offset by a $2.5 million increase in selling expenses and a $1.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to additional spend related to healthcare benefits, an increase in incentive compensation expense and rent, partially offset by a decrease in advertising related expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation expense and severance-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in IT and consulting related costs.
In the six months ended December 31, 2023, operating expenses increased $2.5 million to $64.5 million, or 37.7% of net sales,
from $62.1 million, or 36.8% of net sales in the prior year period. This increase was due to $4.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses and a $3.6 million increase in selling expenses, offset by a $5.8 million increase in net gains from the sale of branch properties and other assets during the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in selling expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to additional spend on healthcare benefits, an increase in incentive compensation, facility and vehicle rent expense, partially offset by a decrease in advertising related expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to severance-related costs of a $2.9 million. Further, the increase was impacted by the
non-recurrence of a $1.9 million gain related to the settlement of the Boyd’s acquisition, offset slightly by an increase in contract services in the prior period.
Total Other Expense
Total other expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 decreased $3.8 million to expense of $1.6 million compared to $5.4 million of expense in the three months ended December 31, 2022. Total other expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023 decreased $5.2 million to expense of $0.9 million compared to $6.1 million of expense in the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Interest
expense in the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased $49 thousand to $1.9 million from $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily related to higher interest rates compared to the prior year period. Interest expense in the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased $0.2 million to $4.1 million from $3.9 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily related to higher interest rates compared to the prior year period.
Other, net in the three months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $3.9 million to $0.3 million gain compared to $3.5 million loss in the prior year period. The change was primarily a result of higher mark-to-market net gains on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in the current period
compared to the prior year period.
Other, net in the six months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $5.4 million to $3.2 million gain compared to $2.2 million loss in the prior year period. The change was primarily a result of higher mark-to-market net gains on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges in the current period compared to the prior year period.
Income Taxes
In the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of $164 thousand and $40 thousand, respectively. In the six months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31,
2022, we recorded income tax expense of $32 thousand and $83 thousand, respectively. See Note 16, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
25
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to net 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) from continuing operations excluding the impact of:
•income tax expense;
•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) from continuing operations excluding the impact of:
•income tax (benefit) expense;
•interest
expense;
•depreciation and amortization expense;
•401(k), ESOP and share-based compensation expense;
•gain on settlement with Boyd’s sellers;
•net (gains) losses from sales of assets;
•loss related to sale of business; 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 and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, we have not adjusted
for the impact of interest expense on our pension and postretirement benefit plans.
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 Business
We are a leading coffee roaster, wholesaler, equipment servicer and distributor of coffee, tea and other allied products manufactured under our owned brands, as well as under private labels on behalf of certain customers. We were founded in 1912, incorporated in California in 1923, and reincorporated in Delaware in 2004. Our principal office is located in Northlake, Texas. We operate in one business segment.
We serve 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. Through our sustainability, stewardship, environmental efforts, and leadership we are not only committed to serving the finest products available, considering the cost needs of the customer, but also focus on their sustainable cultivation, manufacture and distribution whenever possible.
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, Texas; Portland, Oregon; Northlake, Illinois; Moonachie, New Jersey; and Rialto, California. Our products reach our customers primarily through our nationwide DSD network of 243 delivery routes and 105 branch warehouses as of December 31,
2023. 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.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
The following table summarizes our debt obligations:
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%
27
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, 2023, 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.
Pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.
Master Agreement (“ISDA”) effective March 20, 2019, the Company on March 27, 2019, entered into a swap transaction utilizing a notional amount of $80.0 million, with an effective date of April 11, 2019 and a maturity date of October 11, 2023 (the “Original Rate Swap”). On May 16, 2023, the Company settled the Original Rate Swap. The net settlement of the Original Rate Swap was a $13 thousand loss. There was no remaining balance frozen in AOCI as of June 30, 2023.
At
December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings on the Revolver Credit Facility of $23.3 million and had utilized $4.6 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.
At December 31, 2023, we had $6.9 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, 2023, we had $24.5 million available on our Revolver Credit Facility.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2023 was $10.9 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $17.1 million in the six months ended December 31,
2022, an increase in cash used by operations of $27.9 million. The change was driven by a pay down of accounts payable, an increase in inventory and partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivables.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2023 was $12.4 million as compared to $4.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022. The net change in investing activities was primarily due to an increase of $10.6 million related to proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in fixed asset purchases during the six months ended December 31, 2023.
Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2023 was $0.1 million as compared to $4.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $4.0 million was primarily due to net

borrowing proceeds of $0.3 million under the Credit Facility this period compared to $4.6 million in the prior year period.
Capital Expenditures
For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our capital expenditures paid were $6.9 million and $7.7 million,
respectively. In fiscal 2024, we anticipate paying between $12.0 million to $15.0 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 $6.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 2023 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 2023 Form 10-K.

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 5, 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, 2023 to net gain (loss) and AOCI from a hypothetical 10% change in coffee commodity prices.
