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 (consisting only of normal recurring accruals, unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.2019. Events occurring subsequent to March 31, 20182019 have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018.2019.
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 2017,2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 28, 201713, 2018 (the “2017“2018 Form 10-K”).
Principles of Consolidation

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


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,to the consolidated financial statements in the 2017Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018,2019, other than as set forth below and the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 815)740): Targeted ImprovementsAmendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting for Hedging Activities”Bulletin No. 118” (“ASU 2017-12”2018-05”), ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 718)715): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2016-09”2017-07”), ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”), ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), and ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”606)” (“ASU 2015-11”2014-09”), there were no significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Interest Rate Swap
The Company follows the guidelines of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), to account for interest rate swap derivative instruments as an accounting hedge. For interest rate swap derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative is reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period or periods when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
The Company’s interest rate swap derivative instruments are model-derived valuations with directly or indirectly observable significant inputs such as interest rate and, therefore, classified as Level 2.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, 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. See Note 6.
At March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, none of the cash in the Company’s coffee-related derivative margin accounts was restricted. Further changes in commodity prices and the number of coffee-related derivative instruments held, could have a significant impact on cash deposit requirements under certain of the Company's broker and counterparty agreements.
Approximately 33% and 20% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance was with five customers at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The Company estimates its maximum credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The trade accounts receivables are generally short-term and all probable bad debt losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Coffee Brewing Equipment and Service
The Company capitalizes coffee brewing equipment and depreciates it over five years and reports the depreciation expense in cost of goods sold. See Note 10. Further, the Company classifies certain expenses related to coffee brewing equipment provided to customers as cost of goods sold. These costs include the cost of the equipment as well as the cost of servicing that equipment (including service employees’ salaries, cost of transportation and the cost of supplies and parts) and are considered directly attributable to the

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


generation of revenues from its customers. Accordingly, such costs included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 were $9.5$12.7 million and $7.0$11.6 million, respectively. Coffee brewing equipment costs included in cost of goods sold in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $23.1 million and $19.9 million, respectively.
The Company capitalizes coffee brewing equipment and depreciates it over five years and reports the depreciation expense in cost of goods sold. Such depreciation expense related to capitalized coffee brewing equipment reported in cost of goods sold in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and $6.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively,accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017. The Company capitalized coffee brewing equipment (included in machinery and equipment) in the amounts of $8.1were $34.0 million and $8.3$29.4 million, in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share
Net (loss) income per share (“EPS”) represents net (loss) income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unallocated shares held by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Dividends on the Company’s outstanding Series A Convertible Participating Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), that the Company has paid or intends to pay are deducted from net (loss) income in computing net (loss) income available to common stockholders.
Under the two-class method, net (loss) income available to nonvested restricted stockholders and holders of Series A Preferred Stock is excluded from net (loss) income available to common stockholders for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS.
Diluted EPS represents net income available to holders of common stock divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the dilutive impact of common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares include potentially dilutive shares from share-based compensation including stock options, unvested restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock units, and shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as converted, because they are deemed participating securities. In the absence of contrary information, the Company assumes 100% of the target shares are issuable under performance-based restricted stock units.
The dilutive effect of Series A Preferred Stock is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the if-converted method. In applying the if-converted method, conversion will not be assumed for purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be anti-dilutive. The Series A Preferred Stock is anti-dilutive whenever the amount of the dividend declared or accumulated in the current period per common share obtainable upon conversion exceeds basic EPS. See Note 19.
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Historically, the Company performed its annual assessment of impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30.  During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company voluntarily changed its annual impairment assessment date from June 30 to January 31.  The Company believes this change in assessment date, which represents a change in the method of applying an accounting principle, is preferred under the circumstances.  Due to recent acquisitions, the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset balances have increased. The Company believes the change in measurement date will provide additional time to complete the annual assessment of impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in advance of year-end reporting. See Note 13.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs incurred through outside carriers are recorded as a component of the Company’s selling expenses and were $7.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, and $19.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively, in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Share-based Compensation
The Company measures all share-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the fair values of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and recognizes that cost as an expense on a straight line-basis in its consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period. Fair value of restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock units is the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of option
9


Farmer Bros. Co.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions for estimating the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. Although the fair value of stock options is determined using an option valuation model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.
In addition, the Company estimates the expected impact of forfeited awards and recognizes share-based compensation cost only for those awards ultimately expected to vest. If actual forfeiture rates differ materially from the Company’s estimates, share-based compensation expense could differ significantly from the amounts the Company has recorded in the current period. The Company periodically reviews actual forfeiture experience and will revise its estimates, as necessary. The Company will recognize as compensation cost the cumulative effect of the change in estimated forfeiture rates on current and prior periods in earnings of the period of revision. As a result, if the Company revises its assumptions and estimates, the Company’s share-based compensation expense could change materially in the future.Revenue Recognition
The Company’s outstanding share-based awards include performance-based non-qualified stock options (“PNQs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) that have performance-based vesting conditions in addition to time-based vesting. Awards with performance-based vesting conditions require the achievement of certain financial and other performance criteriasignificant accounting policy for revenue was updated as a conditionresult of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model prescribed by ASU 2014-09 in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the vesting. performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. See Note 21.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in both cost of goods sold and selling expenses, depending on the nature of such costs. Shipping and handling costs included in cost of goods sold reflect inbound freight of raw materials and finished goods, and product loading and handling costs at the Company’s production facilities to the distribution centers and branches. Shipping and handling costs included in selling expenses consist primarily of those costs associated with moving finished goods to customers. Shipping and handling costs that were recorded as a component of the Company's selling expenses were $2.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Shipping and handling costs that were recorded as a component of the Company's selling expenses were $9.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Effective June 30, 2018, the Company implemented a change in accounting principle for freight costs incurred to transfer goods from a distribution center to a branch warehouse and warehousing overhead costs incurred to store and ready goods prior to their sale, and made certain corrections relating to the classification of allied freight, overhead variances and purchase price variances (“PPVs”) from expensing such costs as incurred within selling expenses to capitalizing such costs as inventory and expensing through cost of goods sold. See Note 3.
Pension Plans
The Company’s defined benefit pension plans are not admitting new participants, therefore, changes to pension liabilities are primarily due to market fluctuations of investments for existing participants and changes in interest rates. The Company’s defined benefit pension plans are accounted for using the guidance of ASC 710, “Compensation-General“ and ASC 715, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits“ and are measured as of the end of the fiscal year.
The Company recognizes the estimated fair valueoverfunded or underfunded status of performance-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures,a defined benefit pension plan as share-based compensation expense over the service period based upon the Company’s determination of whether it is probable that the performance targets will be achieved. At each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance criteria and the performance period required to meet those targets. Determining whether the performance criteria will be achieved involves judgment, and the estimate of share-based compensation expense may be revised periodically basedan asset or liability on changesits condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the probability of achieving the performance criteria. Revisionsfunded status are reflectedrecognized through AOCI, in the periodyear in which the estimate is changed. If performance goals are not met, no share-based compensation expense is recognizedchanges occur. The Company recognizes pension settlements when payments from the plan exceed the sum of service and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost associated with the plan for the cancelled PNQs or PBRSUs, and, to the extent share-based compensation expense was previously recognized for those cancelled PNQs or PBRSUs, such share-based compensation expense is reversed. If performance goals are exceeded and the payout is more than 100% of the target shares, additional compensation expense is recorded in the period when that determination is certified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.fiscal year. See Note 1612.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2017,The Company’s significant accounting policy for pension plans was updated as a result of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuedadoption of ASU 2017-12. ASU 2017-12 amends2017-07, which impacted the hedge accounting model in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 to enable entities to better portraypresentation of the economicscomponents of their risk management activitiesnet periodic benefit cost in the financialcondensed consolidated statements of income. Net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, is retrospectively included in “Interest expense” and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. ASU 2017-12 expands an entity’s ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change“Other, net” in the fair valuecondensed consolidated statements of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, entities will apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach (i.e., with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date). The guidance provides transition relief to make it easier for entities to apply certain amendments to existing hedges (including fair value hedges) where the hedge documentation needs to be modified. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-12 as of September 30, 2017 for its cash flow hedges related to coffee commodity purchases. Adoption of ASU 2017-12 resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $0.3 million to the opening balance of retained earnings as of October 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have any other material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.income.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of the FASB’s Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 requires that the tax impact related to the difference between share-based
10


Farmer Bros. Co.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


compensation for book and tax purposes be recognized as income tax benefit or expense in the reporting period in which such awards vest. ASU 2016-09 also required a modified retrospective adoption for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after  December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 beginning July 1, 2017 on a modified retrospective basis, recognizing all excess tax benefits previously unrecognized, as a cumulative-effect adjustment increasing deferred tax assets by $1.6 million and increasing retained earnings by the same amount as of July 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have any other material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11. ASU 2015-11 simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Entities will continue to apply their existing impairment models to inventories that are accounted for using last-in first-out or LIFO and the retail inventory method or RIM. Under current guidance, net realizable value is one of several calculations an entity needs to make to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance must be applied prospectively after the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 beginning July 1, 2017. Adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
NewRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Standards
In March 2018, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2018-05 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118” (“ASU 2018-05”).  ASU 2018-05which amends ASC 740, (Income Taxes)“Income Taxes,” to provide guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Act”) pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. Under SAB 118, companies are able to record a reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act if one is able to be determined and report it as a provisional amount during the measurement period. The measurement period is not to extend beyond one year from the enactment date. IfThe Company finalized its assessment of the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate for the impactincome tax effects of the Tax Act it should not be recorded until a reasonable estimate can be made duringin the measurement period.  The Company recorded provisional adjustments and expects to finalize the provisional amounts within one year from the enactment date.second quarter of fiscal 2019. See Note 18.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 to amend the requirements in GAAP related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Under ASU 2017-07, an entity must disaggregate and present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization. Other components of net periodic benefit cost must be presented separately from the line items that include the service cost. The guidance in ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to use a retrospective transition method to adopt the requirement for separate income statement presentation of the service cost and other components, and a prospective transition method to adopt the requirement to limit the capitalization of benefit cost to the service component. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 beginning July 1, 2018 using a retrospective transition method to reclassify net periodic benefit cost, other than the service component, from “Cost of goods sold,” “Selling expenses” and “General and administrative expenses” to “Interest expense” and “Other, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Accordingly, “Interest expense” increased by $1.4 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and “Other, net” increased by $1.4 million and $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. “Interest expense” increased by $4.7 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and “Other, net” increased by $4.9 million and $5.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. See Note 3 and Note 6. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, “Interest expense” increased by $6.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and “Other, net” increased by $6.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, due to reclassifications of net periodic benefit cost, other than the service component, as a result of adopting ASU 2017-07.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business. The objective of adding the guidance is to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses and provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The guidance in ASU 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 beginning July 1, 2018. The Company will apply the new guidance to all applicable transactions after the adoption date.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 that requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. An entity with a material balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance in ASU 2016-18 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 beginning July 1, 2018.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to address certain issues where diversity in practice was identified in classifying certain cash receipts and cash payments based on the guidance in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows” (“ASC 230”). ASC 230 is principles based and often requires judgment to determine the appropriate classification of cash flows as operating, investing or financing activities. The application of judgment has resulted in diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified. Certain cash receipts and cash payments may have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies that an entity will first apply any relevant guidance in ASC 230 and in other applicable topics. If there is no guidance that addresses those cash receipts and cash payments, an entity will determine each separately identifiable

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


source or use and classify the receipt or payment based on the nature of the cash flow. If a receipt or payment has aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. The guidance in ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 beginning July 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to amend the accounting guidance which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In 2015 and 2016, the FASB issued additional ASUs related to ASU 2014-09 that delayed the effective date of the guidance and clarified various aspects of the new revenue guidance, including principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations, and accounting for licenses, and included other improvements and practical expedients. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 beginning July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. The Company has included expanded disclosures in this report related to revenue recognition in order to comply with ASU 2014-09. See Note 21.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance in ASU 2018-15 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”). ASU 2018-14 modifies disclosure of other accounting and reporting requirements related to single-employer defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The guidance in ASU 2018-14 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-14 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 improves the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures and modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The guidance in ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”).  ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.  The guidance in ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2019 and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 amends the requirements in GAAP related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. ASU 2017-07 changes the income statement presentation of defined benefit plan expense by requiring separation between operating expense (service cost component) and non-operating expense (all other components, including interest cost, amortization of prior service cost, curtailments and settlements, etc.). The operating expense component is reported with similar compensation costs while the non-operating expense components are reported in other income and expense. In addition, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization as part of an asset such as inventory or property, plant and equipment. The guidance in ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018. Because the expected operating expense component and non-operating expense components of net periodic benefit cost are not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, adoption of ASU 2017-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The amendments in ASU 2017-04 address concerns regarding the cost

quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The guidance in ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2020. Adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). The amendments in ASU 2017-01 clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses and provide a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The guidance in ASU 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in certain circumstances. ASU 2017-01 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The guidance in ASU 2016-18 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in certain circumstances. ASU 2016-18 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2016-18 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 addresses certain issues where diversity in practice was identified in classifying certain cash receipts and cash payments based on the guidance in ASC 230. ASC 230 is principles based and often requires judgment to determine the appropriate classification of cash flows as operating, investing or financing activities. The application of judgment has resulted in diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified. Certain cash receipts and cash payments may have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies that an entity will first apply any relevant guidance in ASC 230 and in other applicable topics. If there is no guidance that addresses those cash receipts and cash payments, an entity will determine each separately identifiable source or use and classify the receipt or payment based on the nature of the cash flow. If a receipt or payment has aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. The guidance in ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in certain circumstances. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which introduces a new lessee model that brings substantially all leases onto the balance sheet. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability, which represents the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments and a related right-of-use asset. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” which provide additional guidance to consider when implementing ASU 2016-02. For public business entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2019. The Company is evaluatingcurrently identifying and compiling all leases and right–of–use terms to evaluate the impact of this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, information systems, business processes, and financial statement disclosures. The Company expects the adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position resulting from the increase in assets and liabilities.liabilities as well as additional disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued accounting guidance which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers under ASU No. 2014-09,

“RevenueNote 3. Changes in Accounting Principles and Corrections to Previously Issued Financial Statements
Effective June 30, 2018, the Company changed its method of accounting for its coffee, tea and culinary products from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): DeferralLIFO basis to the FIFO basis. Total inventories accounted for utilizing the LIFO cost flow assumption represented 91% of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year allowing early adoptionCompany’s total inventories as of June 30, 2018 prior to this change in method. The Company believes that this change is preferable as it better matches revenues with associated expenses, aligns the originalaccounting with the physical flow of inventory, and improves comparability with the Company’s peers.
Additionally, effective date of January 1, 2017. The deferral results in the new accounting standard being effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2014-09 is effective forJune 30, 2018, the Company beginning July 1, 2018.implemented a change in accounting principle for freight costs incurred to transfer goods from a distribution center to a branch warehouse and warehousing overhead costs incurred to store and ready goods prior to their sale, from expensing such costs as incurred within selling expenses to capitalizing such costs as inventory and expensing through cost of goods sold. The Company has evaluateddetermined that it is preferable to capitalize such costs into inventory and expense through cost of goods sold because it better represents the provisionscosts incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location for sale to customers, and it is consistent with the Company’s accounting treatment of similar costs.
In connection with these changes in accounting principles, subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Company determined that freight associated with certain non-coffee product lines ("allied") was incorrectly expensed as incurred in selling expenses, and the overhead variances and purchase price variances (“PPVs”) associated with these product lines were incorrectly expensed as incurred in cost of goods sold for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and for the first three quarters in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. These costs should have been capitalized as inventory costs in accordance with ASC 330, "Inventory." Accordingly, the Company has corrected the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 to capitalize the appropriate portion of these costs in ending inventory and to reclassify remaining allied freight to cost of goods sold.
In accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” the change in method of accounting for coffee, tea and culinary products and the change in accounting principle for freight and warehousing overhead costs have been retrospectively applied, and the corrections relating to the reclassification and capitalization of allied freight and the capitalization of allied overhead variances and PPVs have been made, to all prior periods presented herein.
The cumulative effect on retained earnings for these changes as of July 1, 2017 is $17.6 million.
In addition to the foregoing, during the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company adopted new accounting standards that required retrospective application. The Company updated the condensed consolidated statements of income as a result of adopting ASU 2014-092017-07, and assessed itsupdated the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as a result of adopting ASU 2016-18.

(1) Fair value of Series A Preferred Stock and Holdback Stock as of the Closing Date, estimated as the sum of (a) the present value of the dividends payable thereon and (b) the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock or Holdback Stock, as the case may be, adjusted for both the conversion premium and the discount for lack of marketability arising from conversion restrictions.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $2.9$25.4 million, which is deductible for tax purposes. The Company also recorded $3.0$16.0 million in finite-lived intangible assets that included recipes, a non-compete agreement and customer relationships and $5.1$3.1 million in indefinite-lived intangible assets that included a trade name/trademark. The weighted average amortization period for the finite-lived intangible assets is 8.910.0 years. See Note 1311.
The determination of the fair value of intangible assets acquired was primarily based on significant inputs not observable in an active market and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements as defined under GAAP.
The fair value assigned to the recipes was determined utilizing the replacement cost method, which captures the direct cost of the development effort plus lost profits over the time to re-create the recipes.
The fair value assigned to the non-compete agreement was determined utilizing the with and without method. Under the with and without method, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated based on the difference in projected earnings with the agreement in place versus projected earnings based on starting with no agreement in place. Revenue and earnings projections were significant inputs into estimating the value of China Mist’s non-compete agreement.
The fair value assigned to the customer relationships was determined based on management’smanagement's estimate of the retention rate utilizing certain benchmarks. Revenue and earnings projections were also significant inputs into estimating the value of customer relationships.
The fair value assigned to the trade name/trademark was determined utilizing a multi-period excess earnings approach. Under the multi-period excess earnings approach, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset, and this method utilizes revenue and cost projections including an assumed contributory asset charge.
During the Company’s annual intangible asset impairment test as of January 31, 2018 and assessment of the recoverability of certain finite-lived intangible assets, the Company determined that the fair value of certain China Mist intangible assets was lower than the carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. See Note 13.

The fair value assigned to the non-compete agreements was determined utilizing the with and without method. Under the with and without method, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated based on the difference in projected earnings with the agreements in place versus projected earnings based on starting with no agreements in place. Revenue and earnings projections were significant inputs into estimating the value of West Coast Coffee’s non-compete agreements.
The fair value assigned to the customer relationships was determined utilizing a multi-period excess earnings approach. Under the multi-period excess earnings approach, the fair value of the intangible asset is estimated to be the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset and this method utilizes revenue and cost projections including an assumed contributory asset charge.
The fair values assigned to the trade name and the brand name were determined utilizing the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method is based on the premise that the intangible asset owner would be willing to pay a royalty rate to license the subject asset. The analysis involves forecasting revenue over the life of the asset, applying a royalty rate and a tax rate, and then discounting the savings back to present value at an appropriate discount rate.

Boyd Coffee Company
On October 2, 2017 (“Closing Date”), the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Boyd Coffee Company (“Boyd Coffee” or “Seller”), a coffee roaster and distributor with a focus on restaurants, hotels, and convenience stores on the West Coast of the United States. The acquired business of Boyd Coffee (the “Boyd Business”) is expected to add to the Company’s product portfolio, improve growth potential, increase the density and penetration of the Company’s distribution footprint, and increase capacity utilization at the Company’s production facilities.

At closing, as consideration for the purchase, the Company paid the Seller $38.9 million in cash from borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility (see Note 15), and issued to Boyd Coffee 14,700 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, with a fair value of $11.8 million as of the Closing Date. Additionally, the Company held back $3.2 million in cash (“Holdback Cash Amount”) and 6,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Holdback Stock”) with a fair value of $4.8 million as of the Closing Date, for the satisfaction of any post-closing working capital adjustment and to secure the Seller’s (and the other seller parties’) indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement.

As the Company has not made this payment as of March 31, 2018 and expects settling the pension liability will take greater than twelve months, the Multiemployer Plan Holdback is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2018. See Note 17.

The parties are in the process of determining the final net working capital under the purchase agreement. At March 31, 2018, the Company estimated a net working capital adjustment of $(8.1) million, which is reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation set forth below.

The Company commenced distribution activities at the New Facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and initial production activities late in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company began roasting coffee in the New Facility in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
New Facility Expansion
On February 9, 2018, the Company and Haskell entered into Task Order No. 6 pursuant to the Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Design-Builder (AIA Document A141-2014 Edition) dated October 23, 2017. The Standard Form of Agreement serves as a master service agreement (“MSA”) between the Company and Haskell and does not contain any actual work scope or compensation amounts, but instead contemplates a number of project specific task orders (the “Task Orders”) to be executed between the parties, which will define the scope and price for particular projects to be performed under the pre-negotiated terms and conditions contained in the MSA.  The MSA expires on December 31, 2021 (provided that any Task Order that is not finally complete at such time will remain in effect until completion).
Task Order 6 covers the expansion of the Company’s production lines (the “Expansion Project”) in the New Facility including expanding capacity to support the transition of Boyd Business volumes to the New Facility. Task Order 6 includes (i) pre-construction services to define the Company’s criteria for the industrial capacity Expansion Project, (ii) specialized industrial design services for the Expansion Project, (iii) specialty industrial equipment procurement and installation, and (iv) all construction services necessary to complete any modifications to the New Facility in order to accommodate the production line expansion, and to provide power to that expanded production capability. While the Company and Haskell have previously executed Task Orders 1-5, Task Order 6 includes the work and services to be performed under Task Orders 1-5 and, accordingly, Task Orders 1-5 have been superseded and voided by Task Order 6.
Task Order 6 is a guaranteed maximum price contract. Specifically, the maximum price payable by the Company to Haskell under Task Order 6 for all of Haskell’s services, equipment procurement and installation, and construction work in connection with the Expansion Project is $19.3 million. In fiscal 2018, the Company anticipates paying between $9 million to $14 million in capital expenditures associated with the Expansion Project, of which $2.9 million and $5.6 million has been paid in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, with the balance of up to the guaranteed maximum price of $19.3 million expected to be paid in fiscal 2019.

Note 6. Sales of Assets
Sale of Torrance Facility
On July 15, 2016, the Company completed the sale of the Torrance Facility, consisting of approximately 665,000 square feet of buildings located on approximately 20.3 acres of land, for an aggregate cash sale price of $43.0 million, which sale price was subject to customary adjustments for closing costs and documentary transfer taxes. Cash proceeds from the sale of the Torrance Facility were $42.5 million.
Following the closing of the sale, the Company leased back the Torrance Facility on a triple net basis through October 31, 2016 at zero base rent, and exercised two one-month extensions at a base rent of $100,000 per month. In accordance with ASC 840, “Leases,” due to the Company’s continuing involvement with the property, the Company accounted for the transaction as a financing transaction, deferred the gain on sale of the Torrance Facility and recorded the net sale proceeds of $42.5 million and accrued non-cash interest expense on the financing transaction in “Sale-leaseback financing obligation” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016. The Company vacated the Torrance Facility in December 2016 and concluded the leaseback transaction. As a result, at December 31, 2016, the financing transaction qualified for sales recognition under ASC 840. Accordingly, in the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized the net gain from sale of the Torrance Facility in the amount of $37.4 million, including non-cash interest expense of $0.7 million and non-cash rent expense of $1.4 million, representing the rent for the zero base rent period previously recorded in “Other current liabilities” and removed the amounts recorded in “Assets held for sale” and the “Sale-leaseback financing obligation” on its consolidated balance sheet.
Sale of Northern California Branch Property
On September 30, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its branch property in Northern California for a sale price of $2.2 million and leased it back through March 31, 2017, at a base rent of $10,000 per month. The Company recognized a net gain on sale of the Northern California property in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 in the amount of $2.0 million.

Note 7.6. Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments Held
Coffee-Related Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk associated with its price to be fixed green coffee purchase contracts, which are described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 20172018 Form 10-K. The Company utilizes forward and option contracts to manage exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows from forecasted purchases of green coffee attributable to commodity price risk. Certain of these coffee-related derivative instruments utilized for risk management purposes have been designated as cash flow hedges, while other coffee-related derivative instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting despite hedging the Company’s future cash flows on an economic basis.
The following table summarizes the notional volumes for the coffee-related derivative instruments held by the Company at March 31, 20182019 and June 30, 2017:2018:

Coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of March 31, 20182019 will expire within 1821 months.

Interest Rate Swap Derivative Instruments
Pursuant to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA”) which was 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 “Rate Swap”). The Rate Swap is intended to manage the Company’s interest rate risk on its floating-rate indebtedness under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the Rate Swap, the Company receives 1-month LIBOR, subject to a 0% floor, and makes payments based on a fixed rate of 2.1975%. The Company’s obligations under the ISDA are secured by the collateral which secures the loans under the revolving credit facility on a pari passu and pro rata basis with the principal of such loans. The Company has designated the Rate Swap derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge.
Interest rate swap derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of March 31, 2019 will expire on October 11, 2023.

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 brokerscounterparties to facilitate financial derivative transactions in support of its risk management activities. Based on the value of the Company’s positions in these accounts and the associated margin requirements, the Company may be required to deposit cash into these broker accounts.

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:

Cash Flow Hedges
Changes in the fair value of the Company’s coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are deferred in AOCI and 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 March 31, 2018, $(5.4)2019, $11.6 million of net losses on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into cost of goods sold within the next twelve months. These recorded values are based on market prices of the commodities as of March 31, 2018.2019. Due to the volatile nature of commodity prices, actual gains or losses realized within the next twelve months will likely differ from these values.

At March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 approximately 89% and 94%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding coffee-related derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges.
Note 8. Investments
The following table showsFor interest rate swap derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative is reported in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period or periods when the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2019, $0.1 million of net gains andon interest rate swap are expected to be reclassified into interest expense within the next twelve months assuming no significant changes in the LIBOR rates.

In addition to product cost, inventory costs include expenditures such as direct labor and certain supply, freight, warehousing, overhead variances, PPVs and overheadother expenses incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. See Note 3. The “Unprocessed” inventory values as stated in the above table represent the value of raw materials and the “Processed” inventory values represent all other products consisting primarily of finished goods.
The Company does not expect inventory levels at June 30, 2018 to decrease from the levels at June 30, 2017 and, therefore, recorded no expected beneficial effect of the liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. The Company recorded $0.8 million and $2.5 million in expected beneficial effect of the liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities in cost of goods sold in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. Interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management’s estimates of expected fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to many forces beyond management’s control, interim results are subject to the final fiscal year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 14.12. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides benefit plans for full-time employees who work 30 hours or more per week, including 401(k), health and other welfare benefit plans and, in certain circumstances, pension benefits. Generally, the plans provide health benefits after 30 days and other retirement benefits based on years of service and/or a combination of years of service and earnings. In addition, the Company contributes to two multiemployer defined benefit pension plans, one multiemployer defined contribution pension plan and nine multiemployer defined contribution plans other than pension plans that provide medical, vision, dental and disability benefits for active, union-represented employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. In addition, the Company sponsors a postretirement defined benefit plan that covers qualified non-union retirees and certain qualified union retirees and provides retiree medical coverage and, depending on the age of the retiree,

dental and vision coverage. The Company also provides a postretirement death benefit to certain of its employees and retirees.
The Company is required to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company is also required to recognize in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules.
Single Employer Pension Plans
TheAs of March 31, 2019, the Company has a defined benefit pension plan, the Farmer Bros. Co. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Farmer Bros. Plan”), for Company employees hired prior to January 1, 2010, who are not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The Company amended the Farmer Bros. Plan, freezing the benefit for all participants effective June 30, 2011. After the plan freeze, participants do not accrue any benefits under the Farmer Bros. Plan, and new hires are not eligible to participate in the Farmer Bros. Plan. As all plan participants became inactive following this pension curtailment, net (gain) loss is now amortized based on the remaining life expectancy of these participants instead of the remaining service period of these participants.
The Company also has two defined benefit pension plans for certain employees covered under collective bargaining agreements (the “Brewmatic Plan” and the “Hourly Employees’ Plan”). Effective October 1, 2016, the Company froze benefit accruals and participation in the Hourly Employees’ Plan. After the plan freeze, participants do not accrue any benefits under the plan, and new hires are not eligible to participate in the plan. After
Effective December 1, 2018 the freeze,Company amended and terminated the Farmer Bros. Co. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Farmer Bros. Plan”), a defined benefit pension plan for Company employees hired prior to January 1, 2010 who were not covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The Company previously amended the Farmer Bros. Plan, freezing the benefit for all participants effective June 30, 2011.

Immediately prior to the termination of the Farmer Bros. Plan, the Company spun off the benefit liability and obligations, and all allocable assets for all retirement plan benefits of certain active employees with accrued benefits in excess of $25,000, retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefit payments under the Farmer Bros. Plan, and former employees who have deferred vested benefits under the Farmer Bros. Plan, to the Brewmatic Plan. Upon termination of the Farmer Bros. Plan, all remaining plan participants elected to receive a distribution of his/her entire accrued benefit under the Farmer Bros. Plan in a single cash lump sum or an individual insurance company annuity contract, in either case, funded directly by Farmer Bros. Plan assets.

Termination of the Farmer Bros. Plan triggered re-measurement and settlement of the Farmer Bros. Plan and re-measurement of the Brewmatic Plan. As a result of the distributions to the remaining plan participants of the Farmer Bros. Plan, the Company reduced its overall pension projected benefit obligation by approximately $24.4 million as of December 31, 2018 and recognized a non-cash pension settlement charge of $10.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2019. At December 31, 2018, the new projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan are eligibleassets for the Brewmatic Plan were $114.1 million and $67.4 million, respectively, resulting in a net underfunded status of $46.7 million. This represents a $6.7 million increase from the net underfunded status of the Farmer Bros. Plan and Brewmatic Plan as of June 30, 2018 primarily due to receiveactual losses recognized on plan assets during the Company’s matching contributionssix months ended December 31, 2018. The Hourly Employees’ Plan was not impacted by this transaction.

Basis Used to Determine Expected Long-Term Return on Plan Assets
The expected long-term return on plan assets assumption was developed as a weighted average rate based on the target asset allocation of the plan and the Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions (CMA) 2014.(“CMA”) 2016. The capital market assumptions were developed with a primary focus on forward-looking valuation models and market indicators. The key fundamental economic inputs for these models are future inflation, economic growth, and interest rate environment. Due to the long-term nature of the pension obligations, the investment horizon for the CMA 20142016 is 20 to 30 years. In addition to forward-looking models, historical analysis of market data and trends was reflected, as well as the outlook of recognized economists, organizations and consensus CMA from other credible studies.

Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company participates in two multiemployer defined benefit pension plans that are union sponsored and collectively bargained for the benefit of certain employees subject to collective bargaining agreements, of which the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan (“WCTPP”)WCTPP is individually significant. The Company makes contributions to these plans generally based on the number of hours worked by the participants in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor contracts.
The risks of participating in multiemployer pension plans are different from single-employer plans in that: (i) assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; (ii) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers; and (iii) if the Company stops participating in the multiemployer plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
On October 30, 2017, counsel to theThe Company received written confirmation that the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust (the “WCT Pension Trust”) will be retracting its claim, stated in itsa letter to the Company dated July 10, 2017 (the “WCT2018 from the WCT Pension Trust Letter”), that certainassessing withdrawal liability against the Company for a share of the Company’sWCTPP unfunded vested benefits, on the basis claimed by the WCT Pension Trust that employment actions by the Company in 2015 resulting from2016 in connection with the Corporate Relocation Plan constituted a partial withdrawal from the WCTPP. The written confirmation stated thatCompany agreed with the WCT Pension Trust has determined that a partial withdrawal did not occur in 2015 and further stated that theTrust’s assessment of pension withdrawal liability assessment has been rescinded.  This rescinding of withdrawal liability assessment applies to Company employment actions in 2015 with respect to the bargaining units that were specified in the WCT Pension Trust Letter.  Asamount of $3.4 million, including interest, which is payable in 17 monthly installments of $190,507 followed by a final monthly installment of $153,822, commencing September 10, 2018.

In fiscal 2012, the Company withdrew from the Local 807 Labor-Management Pension Fund (“Local 807 Pension Fund”) and recorded a charge of $4.3 million associated with withdrawal from this plan, representing the present value of the estimated withdrawal liability expected to be paid in quarterly installments of $0.1 million over 80 quarters. On November 18, 2014, the Local 807 Pension Fund sent the Company a notice of assessment of withdrawal liability in the amount of $4.4 million, which the Local 807 Pension Fund adjusted to $4.9 million on January 5, 2015. TheIn April 2015, the Company is in the process of negotiating a reduced liability amount. The Company has commenced quarterly installment payments to the Local 807 Pension Fund of $91,000 pending the final settlement of the liability. The totalCompany recorded $3.8 million in “Other current liabilities” on its consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2018 representing the present value of the Company’s estimated withdrawal liability is $4.0at June 30, 2018.

Farmer Bros. Co. 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On June 20, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Farmer Bros. Co. 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan succeeded the Company’s prior long-term incentive plans, the Farmer Bros. Co. Amended and Restated 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended Equity Plan”) and the Farmer Bros. Co. 2007 Omnibus Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). On the Effective Date, the Company ceased granting awards under the Prior Plans; however, awards outstanding under the Prior Plans will remain subject to the terms of the applicable Prior Plan.
The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, performance shares and other stock- or cash-based awards to eligible participants. Non-employee directors of the Company and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2017 Plan.
The 2017 Plan authorizes the issuance of (i) 900,000 shares of common stock plus (ii) the number of shares of common stock subject to awards under the Company’s Prior Plans that are outstanding as of the Effective Date and that expire or are forfeited, cancelled or similarly lapse following the Effective Date. Subject to certain limitations, shares of common stock covered by awards granted under the 2017 Plan that are forfeited, expire or lapse, or are repurchased for or paid in cash, may be used again for new grants under the 2017 Plan. As of March 31, 2018,2019, there were 955,446962,953 shares available under the 2017 Plan including shares that were forfeited under the Prior Plans. Shares of common stock granted under the 2017 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, shares purchased on the open market or treasury shares. In no event will more than 900,000 shares of common stock be issuable pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options under the 2017 Plan.
The 2017 Plan contains a minimum vesting requirement, subject to limited exceptions, that awards made under the 2017 Plan may not vest earlier than the date that is one year following the grant date of the award. The 2017 Plan also contains provisions with respect to payment of exercise or purchase prices, vesting and expiration of awards, adjustments and treatment of awards upon certain corporate transactions, including stock splits, recapitalizations and mergers, transferability of awards and tax withholding requirements.
The 2017 Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time, subject to certain limitations requiring stockholder consent or the consent of the applicable participant. In addition, the administrator of the 2017 Plan may not,

Note 18. Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Act. The SEC subsequently issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. Under SAB 118, companies are able to record a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Act if one is able to be determined and report it as a provisional amount during the measurement period. The measurement period is not to extend beyond one year from the enactment date. Impacts of the Tax Act that a company is not able to make a reasonable estimate for should not be recorded until a reasonable estimate can be made during the measurement period. 

Pursuant to the Tax Act, the Company revised its estimated annual effective rate to reflect a change in the federal statutory rate from 35.0% to 21.0%. The change in statutorycorporate tax rate was made as a result of the Tax Act. The rate change is administrativelyreduced to 21.0%, effective as of the enactment date and the Company is using the blended rate of 28.1% for its fiscal year ending on June 30, 2018, as prescribed.

The provisional amountsamount recorded relatedin fiscal 2018 relating to the re-measurement of the Company’s deferred tax balances as a result of the reduction in the corporate tax rate was $18.0 million. There were $0.5 million and $20.8 million forno provisional adjustments recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

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. After consideration of positive and negative evidence, including the recent history ofCompany’s cumulative 12-month income position at March 31, 2019, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate future income sufficient to realize the majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets. assets at March 31, 2019. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, the Company concluded that certain federal and state net operating loss carry forwards and tax credit carryovers will not be utilized before expiration. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $44.6 million to reduce deferred tax assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 varied from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a valuation allowance of $44.6 million taken against the deferred tax asset, in addition to state income taxes. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 varied from the federal statutory rate of 28.1% primarily due to income tax expense resulting from the adjustment of deferred tax amounts due to the enactment of the Tax Act, in addition to state income taxes.
As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 21. Revenue Recognition

Adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a dividend,material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company. See Note 2.
The Company’s primary source of revenue are sales of coffee, tea and culinary products. The Company recognizes revenue when ascontrol of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer and if declared byin amounts that the Company expects to collect. The timing of revenue recognition takes into consideration the various shipping terms applicable to the Company’s Boardsales.
The Company delivers products to customers primarily through two methods, DSD to the Company’s customers at their place of Directors, of 3.5% APRbusiness and direct ship from the Company’s warehouse to the customer’s warehouse or facility. 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 stated value per share payable in four quarterly installments in arrears, and has an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, adjustable up or down bygoods passes to the amount of undeclared and unpaid dividends or subsequent payment of accumulated dividends thereon, respectively, and a conversion premium of 22.5%.

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”), provides certain practical expedients in order to ease the burden of implementation. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient related to applying the guidance to a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics as the Company does not expect the effects on its condensed consolidated financial statements to differ materially from applying the guidance to the individual contracts within that portfolio. For customers that have executed substantially similar contracts, including the ones utilizing our standard forms, the Company believes that evaluation of these contracts on an individual basis would not result in a material difference. Therefore, the Company has adopted the practical expedient and unpaid dividendsapplied one accounting treatment to all such contracts.

Legal Proceedings
Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“CERT”) v. Brad Berry Company Ltd., et al., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles
On August 31, 2012, CERT filed an amendment to a private enforcement action adding a number of companies as defendants, including CBI,the Company’s subsidiary, Coffee Bean International, Inc., which sell coffee in California.California under the State of California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, also known as Proposition 65. The suit alleges that the defendants have failed to issue clear and

Farmer Bros. Co.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


reasonable warnings in accordance with Proposition 65 that the coffee they produce, distribute, and sell contains acrylamide. This lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”). CERT has demanded that the alleged violators remove acrylamide from their coffee or provide Proposition 65 warnings on their products and pay $2,500 per day for each and every violation while they are in violation of Proposition 65.
Acrylamide is produced naturally in connection with the heating of many foods, especially starchy foods, and is believed to be caused by the Maillard reaction, though it has also been found in unheated foods such as olives. With respect to coffee, acrylamide is produced when coffee beans are heated during the roasting process-it is the roasting itself that produces the acrylamide. While there has been a significant amount of research concerning proposals for treatments and other processes aimed at reducing acrylamide content of different types of foods, to our knowledge there is currently no known strategy for reducing acrylamide in coffee without negatively impacting the sensorial properties of the product.
The Company has joined a Joint Defense Group, or JDG, and, along with the other co-defendants, has answered the complaint, denying, generally, the allegations of the complaint, including the claimed violation of Proposition 65 and further denying CERT’s right to any relief or damages, including the right to require a warning on products. The Joint Defense Group contends that based on proper scientific analysis and proper application of the standards set forth in Proposition 65, exposures to acrylamide from the coffee products pose no significant risk of cancer and, thus, these exposures are exempt from Proposition 65’s warning requirement.
To date, the pleadings stage of the case has been completed.The JDG filed a pleading responding to claims and asserting affirmative defenses on January 22, 2013. The Court has phasedinitially limited discovery to the four largest defendants, so the Company was not initially required to participate in discovery. The Court decided to handle the trial so thatin two “phases,” and the “no significant risk level” defense, the First Amendment defense, and the federal preemption defense will bewere tried first. Fact discovery and expert discovery on these “Phase 1” defenses have been completed, andin the parties filed trial briefs.first phase. Trial commenced on September 8, 2014, and testimony completed on November 4, 2014, for the three Phase 1“Phase 1” defenses.
Following final trial briefing, the Court heard, on April 9, 2015, final arguments on the Phase 1 issues. On September 1, 2015, the Court ruled against the JDG on the Phase 1 affirmative defenses. The JDG received permission to file an interlocutory

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


appeal, which was filed by writ petition on October 14, 2015. On January 14, 2016, the Court of Appeals denied the JDG’s writ petition thereby denying the interlocutory appeal so that the case stays with the trial court.
On February 16, 2016, the Plaintiff filed a motion for summary adjudication arguing that based upon facts that had been stipulated by the JDG, the Plaintiff had proven its prima facie case and all that remains is a determination of whether any affirmative defenses are available to Defendants. On March 16, 2016, the Court reinstated the stay on discovery for all parties except for the four largest defendants. Following a hearing on April 20, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion for summary adjudication on its prima facie case. Plaintiff filed its motion for summary adjudication of affirmatives defenses on May 16, 2016. At the August 19, 2016 hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for summary adjudication (and the JDG’s opposition), the Court denied Plaintiff’s motion, thus maintaining the ability of the JDG to defend the issues at trial. On October 7, 2016, the Court continued the Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction until the trial for Phase 2.
In November 2016, the parties pursued mediation, but were not able to resolve the dispute.
In December 2016, discovery resumed for all defendants. Depositions of “person most knowledgeable” witnesses for each defendant in the JDG commenced in late December and proceeded through early 2017, followed by new interrogatories served upon the defendants. The Court set a fact and discovery cutoff of May 31, 2017 and an expert discovery cutoff of August 4, 2017. Depositions of expert witnesses were completed by the end of July.July 2017. On July 6, 2017, the Court held hearings on a number of discovery motions and denied Plaintiff’s motion for sanctions as to all the defendants.
At a final case management conference on August 21, 2017 the Court set August 31, 2017 as the new trial date for Phase 2, though later changed the starting date for trial to September 5, 2017. The Court elected to break up trial for Phase 2 into two segments, the first focused on liability and the second on remedies. After 14 days at trial, both sides rested on the liability segment, and the Court set a date of November 21, 2017 for the hearing for all evidentiary issues related to this liability segment. The Court also set deadlines for evidentiary motions, issues for oral argument, and oppositions to motions. This hearing date was subsequently moved to January 19, 2018.
On March 28, 2018, the Court issued a proposed statement of decision in favor of Plaintiff. The parties will respond with anyFollowing evaluation of the parties' objections to the proposed statement of decision, and, following that, the Court would rule on the objections and fileissued its final statement of decision. Based upon the Court’s final decision on May 7, 2018 which was substantively similar to the liability phase, the next stepproposed statement from March 2018. The issuance of a final statement of decision does not itself cause or order any remedy, such as any requirement to use a warning notice. Any such remedy, including any monetary damages or fee awards, would be resolved in Phase 3 of the trial.
On June 15, 2018, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) announced its proposal of a finalregulation that would establish, for the purposes of Proposition 65, that chemicals present in coffee as a result of roasting or brewing pose no significant risk of cancer. If adopted, the regulation would, among other things, mean that Proposition 65 warnings would generally not be required for coffee. Plaintiff had earlier filed a motion for permanent injunction, prior to OEHHA’s announcement, asking that the Court issue an order requiring defendants to provide cancer warnings for coffee or remove the coffee products from store shelves in California. The JDG petitioned the Court to (1) renew and reconsider the JDG’s First Amendment defense from Phase 1 based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in a First Amendment case that was decided in the context of Proposition 65; (2) vacate the July 31, 2018 hearing date and briefing schedule for Plaintiff’s permanent injunction motion; and (3) stay all further proceedings pending the conclusion of the rulemaking process for OEHHA’s proposed regulation. On June 25, 2018, the Court denied the JDG’s motion to vacate the hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for permanent injunction and added the motion to stay to the July 31, 2018 docket to be heard. At the July 31st hearing, the Court granted the JDG’s application and agreed to continue the hearing on all motions to September 6, 2018.
At the September 6, 2018 hearing, the Court denied the JDG’s First Amendment motion, and denied the motion to stay pending conclusion of OEHHA’s rulemaking process. The Plaintiff agreed to have the permanent injunction motion continued until after the remedies phase of the trial. The Court set the “Phase 3” remedies trial phase to adjudicate remedies, including whether any damagesbegin on October 15, 2018.
On September 20, 2018, the JDG filed a writ petition with the California Court of Appeals, Second Appellate District, to set aside the lower court’s order denying the JDG’s motion to renew or penalties would be imposedreopen its First Amendment defense to the imposition of a cancer warning for their coffee products, or, whetheralternatively, to set aside its order dated September 6, 2018, denying the JDG’s motion to stay this action pending adoption by the OEHHA of the proposed regulation. On October 12, 2018, the Court will orderof Appeals issued a Temporary Stay Order. The Temporary Stay Order ordered the usePhase 3 remedies trial be stayed until further notice and did not address the JDG’s First Amendment defense petition. The Court of Appeals also required the JDG to provide a written status update by January 15, 2019. Following the issuance of the Court of Appeal’s Temporary Stay Order, on October 15, 2018, the trial court issued a Notice of Court’s Ruling staying any warnings,further proceedings, including any packaging warnings.both remedies and liability, pending a ruling by the Court of Appeals.

At a December 3, 2018 status conference, the Court continued its stay on the Phase 3 remedies trial. The Court set another status conference for February 4, 2019 and asked that the JDG submit a joint status report on appellate activities by January 28, 2019.
The JDG provided their written status update to the Court of Appeals timely on January 15, 2019, which update reported that OEHHA had submitted the final regulation (unchanged from its proposed rulemaking) to the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for review. OAL had 30 working days (until February 19, 2019) to approve, reject, or submit questions to OEHHA concerning the regulation. On January 31, 2019, the Court of Appeals continued its Temporary Stay Order and required the JDG to provide a written update by April 15, 2019.
Prior to February 19, 2019, OAL raised questions to OEHHA concerning the regulation, specifically OEHHA’s authority to make a determination for chemicals in coffee whether or not presently listed under Prop 65.   As a result, OEHHA decided to take back the regulation from OAL to address those issues.  On March 15, 2019, OEHHA announced that it was amending the language of the regulation to make clear that the “no significant risk” determination applies only to chemicals in coffee that are currently listed under Prop 65.  OEHHA extended the public comment period until April 2, 2019.  Once OEHHA has reviewed and developed responses to comments and created an updated final statement of reasons, it will resubmit the regulation to OAL.  OAL will then have another 30 days to review the regulation.  If OAL approves the regulation in time, it could be submitted for publication in the July 1, 2019 update to the California Code of Regulations, at which point it is expected that it would become effective.
At this time, the Company is not able to predict the probability of the outcome or estimate of loss, if any, related to this matter. 
The Company is a party to various other pending legal and administrative proceedings. It is management’s opinion that the outcome of such proceedings will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not based on historical fact and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws and regulations. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and observations of future events and include any statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact; actual results may differ materially due in part to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20172018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 28, 201713, 2018 (the “2017“2018 Form 10-K”). and Part II, Item 1A of this report. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words like “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,���projects,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “intends,” “will,” “could,” “assumes” and other words of similar meaning. Owing to the uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements. We intend these forward-looking statements to speak only at the time of this report and do not undertake to update or revise these statements as more information becomes available except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the success of the Corporate Relocation Plan, the timing and success of implementation of the DSD Restructuring Plan, the Company’s success in consummating acquisitions and integrating acquired businesses, the impact of capital improvement projects, the adequacy and availability of capital resources to fund the Company’s existing and planned business operations and the Company’s capital expenditure requirements, the relative effectiveness of compensation-based employee incentives in causing improvements in Company performance, the capacity to meet the demands of our large national account customers, the extent of execution of plans for the growth of Company business and achievement of financial metrics related to those plans, the success of the Company to retain and/or attract qualified employees, the success of the Company’s adaptation 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, 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 report and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

As of June 30, 2017,$44.6 million recorded to reduce our net deferred tax assets totaled $63.1 million.  In the nine months ended March 31, 2018, our net deferred tax assets decreased by $17.3 million to $45.8 million. These changes are primarily the result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act effective December 22, 2017.assets. See Note 18, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss was $(3.9) million, or $(0.24) per common share available to common stockholders, in the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.10 per common share available to common stockholders—diluted, in the three months ended March 31, 2017. Net loss was $(23.7) million, or $(1.43) per common share available to common stockholders, in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to net income of $23.3 million, or $1.39 per common share available to common stockholders—diluted, in the nine months ended March 31, 2017.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to net (loss) income determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating performance:
“Non-GAAP net (loss) income” is defined as net (loss) income available to common stockholders excluding the impact of:
restructuring and other transition expenses;
net gains and losses from sales of assets;
non-cash income tax expense (benefit), including the release of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets;
non-recurring 2016 proxy contest-related expenses;
non-cash interest expense accrued on the Torrance Facility sale-leaseback financing obligation;
acquisition and integration costs;
and including the impact of:
income taxes on non-GAAP adjustments.
“Non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted common share” is defined as Non-GAAP net (loss) income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
“EBITDA” is defined as net (loss) income excluding the impact of:
income taxes;
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 (loss) income excluding the impact of:
income taxes;
interest expense;
(loss) income from short-term investments;
depreciation and amortization expense;
ESOP and share-based compensation expense;
non-cash impairment losses;
non-cash pension withdrawal expense;
other similar non-cash expenses;
restructuring and other transition expenses;
net gains and losses from sales of assets;
non-recurring 2016 proxy contest-related expenses;non-cash pension settlement charges; and
acquisition and integration costs.

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.
Restructuring and other transition expenses are expenses that are directly attributable to (i) the Corporate Relocation Plan, consisting primarily of employee retention and separation benefits, pension withdrawal expense, facility-related costs and other related costs such as travel, legal, consulting and other professional services; and (ii) beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the DSD Restructuring Plan, consisting primarily of severance, prorated bonuses for bonus eligible employees, contractual termination payments and outplacement services, and other related costs, including legal, recruiting, consulting, other professional services, and travel.
InBeginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017,2019, for purposes of calculating EBITDA and EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, we have excluded the impact of interest expense resulting from the adoption of ASU 2017-07 because such interest expense is not reflective of our ongoing operating results. See Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies--Recently Adopted Accounting Standards, of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we modified the calculation of Non-GAAP net (loss) income and Non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted common share (i) to exclude non-recurring expenses for legal and other professional services incurred in connection with the 2016 proxy contest that were in excess of the level of expenses normally incurred for an annual meeting of stockholders (“2016 proxy contest-related expenses”) and non-cash interest expense accrued on the


Torrance Facility sale-leaseback financing obligation which has been included in the computation of the gain on sale upon conclusion of the leaseback arrangement, and (ii) to include income tax expense (benefit) on the non-GAAP adjustments based on the Company’s applicable marginal tax rate. We also modified Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to exclude 2016 proxy contest-related expenses. These modificationsa non-cash pretax pension settlement charge resulting from the amendment and termination of the Farmer Bros. Plan effective December 1, 2018. This modification to our non-GAAP financial measures werewas made because such expenses are not reflective of our ongoing operating results and adjusting for them will help investors with comparability of our results.
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and for all periods presented, we include EBITDA in ourWe believe these non-GAAP financial measures. 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.
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, we modified the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to exclude (loss) income from our short-term investments because we believe excluding (loss) income generated from our investment portfolio is a measure more reflective of our operating results. The historical presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was recast to be comparable to the current period presentation.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we modified the calculation of Non-GAAP net (loss) income, Non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted common share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to exclude acquisition and integration costs. Acquisition and integration costs include legal expenses, consulting expenses and internal costs associated with acquisitions and integration of those acquisitions. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 acquisition and integration costs were significant and, we believe, excluding them will help investors to better understand our operating results and more accurately compare them across periods. We have not adjusted the historical presentation of Non-GAAP net (loss) income, Non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted common share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because acquisition and integration costs in prior periods were not material to the Company’s results of operations.
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we modified the calculation of Non-GAAP net (loss) income and Non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted common share to begin with net (loss) income available to common stockholders to reflect undeclared and unpaid cumulative preferred dividends on the preferred stock issued in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 in connection with the Boyd acquisition.
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.
Non-GAAP net (loss) income, Non-GAAP net (loss) income per diluted common share, 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.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
Revolving Credit Facility
We maintainOn November 6, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a $125.0new $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving“New Revolving Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A, Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, Regions Bank, and SunTrust Bank, (collectively, the “Lenders”), with a sublimit on letters of credit and swingline loans of $30.0 million and $15.0 million respectively.each. The New Revolving Facility includes an accordion feature whereby we may increase the Revolving Commitment byrevolving commitments or enter into one or more tranches of incremental term loans, up to an additional $50.0$75.0 million in aggregate of increased commitments and incremental term loans, subject to certain conditions. AdvancesThe commitment fee is based on a leverage grid and ranges from 0.20% to 0.40%. Borrowings under the New Revolving Facility bear interest based on a leverage grid with a range of PRIME + 0.25% to PRIME + 0.875% or Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.25% to Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.875%. Effective March 27, 2019, we entered into an interest rate 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 “Rate Swap”). Under the terms of the Rate Swap, we receive 1-month LIBOR, subject to a 0% floor, and make payments based on a fixed rate of 2.1975%. Our obligations under the International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA”), including the related Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement, entered into in connection with the transaction are secured by the collateral which secures the loans under the New Revolving Facility on a pari passu and pro rata basis with the principal of such loans. We have designated the Rate Swap derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge.
Under the New Revolving Facility, we are subject to a variety of affirmative and negative covenants of types customary in a senior secured lending facility, including financial covenants relating to leverage and interest expense coverage. We are allowed to pay dividends, provided, among other things, a total net leverage ratio is met, and no default exists or has occurred and is continuing as of the date of any such payment and after giving effect thereto. The New Revolving Facility matures on November 6, 2023, subject to the ability for the Company (subject to certain conditions) to agree with lenders who so consent to extend the maturity date of the commitments of such consenting lenders for a period of one year, such option being exercisable not more than two times during the term of the facility.
The New Revolving Facility replaced, by way of amendment and restatement, our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and SunTrust Bank, with revolving commitments of $125.0 million as of September 30, 2018 and $135.0 million as of October 18, 2018 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), subject to an accordion feature. Under the Prior Revolving Facility, as amended, advances were based on our eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory, andeligible equipment, the value of certain real property and trademarks, and an amount based on the lesser of $10.0 million (subject to monthly reduction) and the sum of certain eligible accounts and eligible inventory, less required reserves. The commitment fee iswas a flat fee of 0.25% per annum irrespective of average revolver usage. Outstanding obligations arewere collateralized by all of our assets, excluding, amongst other things, certain real property not included in the borrowing base, and machinery and equipment (other than inventory).base. Borrowings under the Prior Revolving Facility bearbore interest based on average historical excess availability levels with a range of PRIME - 0.25% to PRIME + 0.50% or Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.25% to Adjusted LIBO Rate + 2.00%. We are; provided, that, after the Third Amendment Effective Date, (i) until March 31, 2019 the applicable rate was PRIME + 0.25% or Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.75%; and (ii) loans up to certain formula amounts were subject to an additional margin ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%. The Prior Revolving Facility included a variety of affirmative and negative covenants of types customary in an asset-based lending facility, including a financial covenantscovenant relating to the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio, in certain circumstances, and the rightprovided for customary events of the Lenders to establish reserve requirements, which may reduce the amount of credit otherwise available to us. We are allowed to pay dividends, provided, among other things, certain excess availability requirements are met, and no event of default exists or has occurred and is continuing as of the date of any such payment and after giving effect thereto. The Revolving Facility matures on August 25, 2022.default.
At March 31, 2018,2019, we were eligible to borrow up to a total of $122.7$150.0 million under the New Revolving Facility and had outstanding borrowings of $85.9$123.0 million and utilized $1.1$2.0 million of the letters of credit sublimit, and had excess availability under the Revolving Facility of $35.7 million.sublimit. At March 31, 2018,2019, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings subject to interest rate variability under the New Revolving Facility was 3.85%. At March 31, 2018,4.25% and we were in compliance with all of the restrictive covenants under the New Revolving Facility.
At April 30, 2018,2019, we were eligible to borrow up to a total of $122.7$150.0 million under the New Revolving Facility and had outstanding borrowings of $86.2$121.0 million and utilized $1.1$2.0 million of the letters of credit sublimit,sublimit.
We classify borrowings contractually due to be settled one year or less as short-term and had excess availability under the Revolving Facility of $35.4 million. At April 30, 2018, the weighted average interest ratemore than one year as long-term. We classify outstanding borrowings as short-term or long-term based on our ability and intent to pay or refinance the outstanding borrowings on a short-term or long-term basis. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility was 3.90%.our revolving credit facility were classified on our consolidated balance sheets as “Long-term borrowings under revolving credit facility” at March 31, 2019 and “Short-Term borrowings under revolving credit facility” at June 30, 2018.


Liquidity
We generally finance our operations through cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Revolving Facilityrevolving credit facility described above. At March 31,In fiscal 2018, we had $7.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. Infiled a shelf registration statement with the fourth quarterSEC which allows us to issue unspecified amounts of fiscal 2017, we liquidated substantially all of ourcommon stock, preferred stock, portfolio, netdepository shares, warrants for the purchase of purchases, to fund expenditures associated with our New Facility in Northlake, Texas. In the second quarter ended December 31, 2017, we liquidated the remaining security and closed ourshares of common stock or preferred stock, portfolio.
purchase contracts for the purchase of equity securities, currencies or commodities, and units consisting of any combination of any of the foregoing securities, in one or more series, from time to time and in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $250.0 million. We believe our New Revolving 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 to 18 months.
ChangesOur New Revolving Facility includes financial covenants that are tested each quarter, including that adjusted EBITDA to debt (net of unrestricted cash up to $7.5 million) must not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2019, our leverage ratio as defined in our credit facility was lower than 3.5 to 1.0, therefore, we were in compliance with the financial covenant.

At March 31, 2019, we had $12.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019, none of the cash in our coffee-related derivative margin accounts was restricted. Further changes in commodity prices and the number of coffee-related and interest swap derivative instruments held could have a significant impact on cash deposit requirements under certain of our broker and counterparty agreements and may adversely affect our liquidity.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.9 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a higher use of cash for working capital of $2.6 million during the current fiscal period. Working capital during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was impacted by, among other items, cash purchases to fund higher inventory levels and higher payroll and benefit costs associated with the Boyd Business integration, as well as slower collections of several large direct ship customer accounts receivables. These were partially offset by improved vendor terms and timing of accrued liabilities compared to net cash provided by operatingsettlement of such items.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $10.5during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $30.3 million as compared to $65.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Net cash provided by operating2018, a decrease of $35.3 million.  Investment activities were elevated in the prior year period principally due to the acquisition of the Boyd Business for $39.6 million in cash. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to a higher level of cash inflows from operating activities resulting primarily from the increase in deferred income taxes, depreciation and amortization and accounts payable balances and the change in estimated fair value of the China Mist contingent earnout consideration, partially offset by lower net income, impairment losses on intangible assets and increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances. Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to higher net income and a higher level of cash inflows from operating activities resulting primarily from the increase in deferred income taxes and accounts payable balances , partially offset by cash outflows from increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances, payment of previously accrued bonus and restructuring and other transition expenses related to the Torrance Facility closure and purchases of short-term investments.

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.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market value risk arising from changes in interest rates on our securities portfolio. Our portfolio of preferred securities has sometimes included investments in derivative instruments that provide a natural economic hedge of interest rate risk. We review the interest rate sensitivity of these securities and may enter into “short positions” in futures contracts on U.S. Treasury securities or hold put options on such futures contracts to reduce the impact of certain interest rate changes. Specifically, we attempt to manage the risk arising from changes in the general level of interest rates. We do not transact in futures contracts or put options for speculative purposes. The number and type of futures and options contracts entered into depends on, among other items, the specific maturity and issuer redemption provisions for each preferred stock held, the slope of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the expected volatility of U.S. Treasury yields, and the costs of using futures and/or options.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we liquidated substantially all of our preferred stock portfolio, net of purchases, to fund expenditures associated with our New Facility in Northlake, Texas. In the second quarter ended December 31, 2017, we liquidated the remaining security and closed our preferred stock portfolio.
Borrowings under our New Revolving Facility bear interest based on a leverage grid with a range of PRIME + 0.25% to PRIME + 0.875% or Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.25% to Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.875%. Borrowings under our Prior Revolving Facility bore interest based on average historical excess availability levels with a range of PRIME - 0.25% to PRIME + 0.50% or Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.25% to Adjusted LIBO Rate + 2.00%; provided, that, after the Third Amendment Effective Date, (i) until March 31, 2019 the applicable rate was PRIME + 0.25% or Adjusted LIBO Rate + 1.75%; and (ii) loans up to certain formula amounts were subject to an additional margin ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%.
Effective March 27, 2019, we 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 Rate Swap is intended to manage our interest rate risk on our floating-rate indebtedness under the New Revolving Facility. Under the terms of the Rate Swap, we receive 1-month LIBOR, subject to a 0% floor, and make payments based on a fixed rate of 2.1975%. Our obligations under the ISDA entered into in connection with the transaction are secured by the collateral which secures the loans under the New Revolving Facility on a pari passu and pro rata basis with the principal of such loans. We have designated the Rate Swap derivative instruments as a cash flow hedge.
At March 31, 2018,2019, we were eligible to borrow up to a total of $150.0 million under the New Revolving Facility and had outstanding borrowings of $85.9$123.0 million and utilized $1.1$2.0 million of the letters of credit sublimit, and had excess availability undersublimit. As a result of the Revolving Facility of $35.7 million.interest rate swap, only $43.0 million is now subject to interest rate variability. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings subject to interest rate variability under the New Revolving Facility at March 31, 20182019 was 3.85%4.25%.


The following table demonstrates the impact of interest rate changes on our annual interest expense on outstanding borrowings subject to interest rate variability under the New Revolving Facility excluding interest on letters of credit, based on the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2018:2019:

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 LIFOFIFO 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.
We purchase over-the-counter coffee-related derivative instruments to enable us to lock in the price of green coffee commodity purchases. These derivative instruments also may be entered into at the direction of the customer under commodity-based pricing arrangements to effectively lock in the purchase price of green coffee under such customer arrangements, in certain cases up to 18 months or longer in the future. We account for certain coffee-related derivative instruments as accounting hedges in order to minimize the volatility created in our quarterly results from utilizing these derivative contracts and to improve comparability between reporting periods.
When we designate coffee-related derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, we formally document the hedging instruments and hedged items, and measure at each balance sheet date the effectiveness of our hedges. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is reported in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold in the period or periods when the hedged transaction affects earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, we reclassified $(1.8)$2.1 million in net losses and $0.9$0.6 million in net gainslosses on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, excluding tax, respectively, into cost of goods sold from AOCI. Any ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in fair value is recognized currently in “Other, net.” For the nine months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017, 2018,


respectively, we reclassified $(2.4)$6.3 million in net losses and $0.6 million in net gains on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, excluding tax, respectively, into cost of goods sold from AOCI. Gains or losses deferred in AOCI associated with terminated derivative instruments, derivative instruments that cease to be highly effective hedges, derivative instruments for which the forecasted transaction is reasonably possible but no longer probable of occurring, and cash flow hedges that have been otherwise discontinued remain in AOCI until the hedged item affects earnings. If it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction designated as the hedged item in a cash flow hedge will not occur, we recognize any gain or loss deferred in AOCI in “Other, net” at that time. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized in “Other, net” $0 and $90,000 in net gains, respectively, on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges due to ineffectiveness. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized in “Other, net�� $48,000 and $63,000 in net gains, respectively, on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges due to ineffectiveness.
For derivative instruments that are not designated in a hedging relationship, and for which the normal purchases and normal sales exception has not been elected, the changes in fair value are reported in “Other, net.” In the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded in “Other, net” net losses of $(0.4)$0.9 million and net gains of $0.2$0.4 million, respectively, on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges. In the nine months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recorded in “Other, net” net losses of $(0.5)$2.9 million and $(1.1)$0.5 million, respectively, on coffee-related derivative instruments not designated as accounting hedges.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has determined that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 20182019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On October 2, 2017, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of Boyd Coffee Company. We are currently integrating processes, employees, technologies and operations. Management will continue to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting as we complete the integration.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings
The information set forth in Note 2122, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1A.Risk Factors

The information set forth
An increase in this report should be readour debt leverage could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations and a covenant that governs our current indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow.

As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $123.0 million and $85.9 million, respectively, with excess availability of $25.0 million and $35.7 million, respectively. We may incur significant indebtedness in conjunction with the risk factor set forth belowfuture, including through additional borrowings under the credit facility, exercise of the accordion feature under the credit facility to increase the revolving commitment by up to an additional $75.0 million, through the issuance of debt securities, or otherwise. Our present indebtedness and any future borrowings could have adverse consequences, including:

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our indebtedness;
reducing the cash flow available or limiting our ability to borrow additional funds, to pay dividends, to fund capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and to pursue our business strategies;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the risk factors discussedindustries in Part I, Item 1A of the 2017 Form 10-K.which we operate;
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; and
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.

Significant additional labeling or warning requirements may increase our costs and adversely affect sales ofTo the affected products.
Various jurisdictions may seek to adopt significant additional product labeling (such as requiring labeling of productsextent we become more leveraged, we face an increased likelihood that contain genetically modified organisms) or warning requirements or limitations on the availability of our products relating to the content or perceived adverse health consequences of certain of our products. If these types of requirements become applicable to one or more of the risks described above would materialize. If we are unable to service our products,debt or experience a significant reduction in our liquidity, we could be forced to reduce or delay planned capital expenditures and other initiatives, sell assets, restructure or refinance our debt or seek additional equity capital, or need to change certain elements of our strategy, and we may be unable to take any of these actions on satisfactory terms or in a timely manner. If we are unable to make payments as they may inhibit salescome due or comply with the restrictions and covenants under the credit facility or any other agreements governing our indebtedness, there could be a default under the terms of such products. agreements. In such event, or if we are otherwise in default under the credit facility or any such other agreements, the lenders could terminate their commitments to lend and/or accelerate the loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Furthermore, our lenders under the credit facility could foreclose on their security interests in our assets. If any of those events occur, our assets might not be sufficient to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness and we may be unable to find alternative financing on acceptable terms or at all. Failure to maintain existing or secure new financing could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial position. 

In addition, our New Revolving Facility includes financial covenants that are tested each quarter, including that adjusted EBITDA to debt (net of unrestricted cash up to $7.5 million) must not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2019, our leverage ratio as defined in our credit facility was lower than 3.5 to 1.0.

Our liquidity may be materially adversely affected by constraints in the capital and credit markets and limitations under our financing arrangements.

We need sufficient sources of liquidity to fund our working capital requirements, service our outstanding indebtedness and finance business opportunities. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail our operations, or we may not be able to pursue business opportunities. The principal sources of our liquidity are funds generated from operating activities, available cash, and our New Revolving Facility. If our sources of liquidity do not satisfy our requirements, we may need to seek additional financing. The future availability of financing will depend on a variety of factors, such as economic and market conditions, the regulatory environment for example,banks and other financial institutions, the availability of credit and our reputation with potential lenders. Further, disruptions in national and international credit markets could result in limitations on credit


availability, tighter lending standards, higher interest rates on consumer and business loans, and higher fees associated with obtaining and maintaining credit availability. In addition, in the event of disruptions in the financial markets, current or future lenders may become unwilling or unable to continue to advance funds under any agreements in place, increase their commitments under existing credit arrangements or enter into new financing arrangements. These factors could materially adversely affect our liquidity, costs of borrowing, and our ability to respond to changes in the market, to pursue business opportunities, or to grow our business, and threaten our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. In addition, covenants in our debt agreements could restrict or delay our ability to respond to business opportunities, or in the event of a failure to comply with such covenants, could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our accounts receivable represents a significant portion of our current assets and a substantial portion of our trade accounts receivables relate principally to a limited number of customers, increasing our exposure to bad debts and counter-party risk which could potentially have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

A significant portion of our trade accounts receivable are from five customers. The concentration of our accounts receivable across a limited number of parties subjects us to individual counter-party and credit risk as these parties may breach our agreement, claim that we arehave breached the agreement, become insolvent and/or declare bankruptcy, delaying or reducing our collection of receivables or rendering collection impossible altogether. Certain of the parties use third-party distributors or do business through a network of affiliate entities which can make collection efforts more challenging and, at times, collections may be economically unfeasible. Adverse changes in general economic conditions and/or contraction in global credit markets could precipitate liquidity problems among our debtors. This could increase our exposure to losses from bad debts and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increases in the cost of green coffee could reduce our gross margin and profit.

Our primary raw material is green coffee, an exchange-traded agricultural commodity that is subject to price fluctuations. Although coffee “C” market prices in fiscal 2018 averaged 11% below the California Safe Drinking Waterhistorical average for the past five years, there can be no assurance that green coffee prices will remain at these levels in the future. The supply and Toxic Enforcement Actprice of 1986 (commonly knowngreen coffee may be impacted by, among other things, weather, natural disasters, real or perceived supply shortages, crop disease (such as “Proposition 65”), a law which requires that a specific warning appear on any product soldcoffee rust) and pests, general increase in California that contains a substance listed by that State as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects. The Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“CERT”) has filed suit against a number of companies as defendants, including our subsidiary, Coffee Bean International, Inc., which sell coffee in California for allegedly failing to issue clear and reasonable warnings in accordance with Proposition 65 that the coffee they produce, distribute and sell contains acrylamide. CERT’s action claims damages, statutory penaltiesfarm inputs and costs of enforcement, which could be significant, as well asproduction, a requirement to provide warnings and other notices to customers or remove acrylamide from finished products (which may be impossible). The court that is hearing the action has issued a proposed statement of decision in favor of CERT on issues of liability, but a later trial phase will resolve remedies, if any, including whether a warning must be included with respect to sales of coffee in California. If we were required to add warning labels to any of our products or place warnings in certain locations where our products are sold, sales of those products could suffer not only in those locations but elsewhere. Any change in labeling requirementsthe use of the “C” market as the benchmark for our products also may lead todetermining green coffee prices or an increase in packaginggreen coffee purchased and sold on a negotiated basis rather than directly on commodity markets in response to higher production costs relative to “C” market prices, political and economic conditions or interruptionsuncertainty, labor actions, foreign currency fluctuations, armed conflict in coffee producing nations, acts of terrorism, government actions and trade barriers, and the actions of producer organizations that have historically attempted to influence green coffee prices through agreements establishing export quotas or delaysby restricting coffee supplies. Speculative trading in packaging deliveries.coffee commodities can also influence coffee prices. Additionally, specialty green coffees tend to trade on a negotiated basis at a premium above the “C” market price which premium, depending on the supply and demand at the time of purchase, may be significant. Increases in the “C” market price may also impact our ability to enter into green coffee purchase commitments at a fixed price or at a price to be fixed whereby the price at which the base “C” market price will be fixed has not yet been established. There can be no assurance that our purchasing practices and hedging activities will mitigate future price risk. As a result, increases in the cost of green coffee could have an adverse impact on our profitability.
