Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included. Results from operations for the thirteen week and thirty-nine week periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 29, 2007.

The September 30, 2006 Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in the annual report on Form 10-K for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. Throughout this presentation, we refer to the consolidated company as “the Company” or “Green Mountain Coffee.”

The Company has revised the classification of certain information presented in its fiscal 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to fiscal 2007 presentation.

 

2. Change in Fiscal Quarters

The Company modified its fiscal calendar effective at the beginning of fiscal 2007 to report on four 13-week quarters. Historically, the Company has reported interim results on the basis of one 16-week quarter and three 12-weeks quarters, with the first three fiscal quarters ending sixteen, twenty-eight and forty weeks into the fiscal year, respectively. Starting with fiscal 2007, the first three quarters of the fiscal year will end thirteen, twenty-six and thirty-nine weeks into the fiscal year, respectively. This fiscal calendar change does not effect the Company’s fiscal year end, which is the last Saturday of September.

A reconciliation of the fiscal third quarter 2006 consolidated statement of operations as reported for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006 and the as-adjusted fiscal third quarter 2006 presented on a thirteen and thirty-nine week basis which would have ended on June 24, 2006 is provided in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Management provides the adjusted periods because it believes the as-adjusted 2006 data is useful for the Company and investors by providing comparabable time periods in evaluating the Company’s financial results.


The table below presents condensed income statement information as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the third fiscal quarter of 2006 and, in order to better compare 2007 results with 2006 results, the comparable as-adjusted information for the third thirteen-week period ended June 24, 2006.

3. Stock Split

On July 6, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a three-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 200% stock dividend. The stock split shares were distributed on July 27, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 17, 2007. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $0.10 per share. All share and per share data presented in this report have been adjusted to reflect this stock split.

 

4. Segment Reporting

Since the acquisition of Keurig, Incorporated (“Keurig”) on June 15, 2006, the Company manages its operations through two business segments: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (GMCR) and its wholly owned subsidiary Keurig. GMCR sells whole bean and ground coffee, coffee and tea in K-Cups, Keurig single cup brewers and other accessories mainly in domestic wholesale and retail markets. Keurig sells their single cup brewers, coffee and tea in K-Cups produced by a variety of roasters and related accessories mainly in domestic wholesale and retail markets. Throughout this presentation, unless otherwise noted, the information provided is on a consolidated basis.


The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, including business segment income before taxes. The operating segments do not share manufacturing or distribution facilities, and most administrative functions such as accounting and information services are decentralized. In the event any materials and/or services are provided to one segment by the other, the transaction is valued at market price and eliminated through consolidation. The costs of GMCR’s manufacturing operations is captured within the GMCR segment while the Keurig segment does not have manufacturing facilities and purchases their saleable products from third parties. The Company’s property, plant and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable are captured and reported discretely within each operating segment. All of the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets are included in the assets of the GMCR segment.

5. Warranty Reserve

The Company offers a one-year warranty on all Keurig brewers it sells. Keurig provides for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily using historical information and repair or replacement costs, at the time product revenue is recognized. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company experienced higher warranty returns associated with two brewer models. These returns were traced to the same component in each of these models. This component caused a false triggering of a redundant safety system related to the regulation of the water heating system in these brewers. As a result, the water heater in the affected brewers was permanently turned off, and the brewers were no longer able to brew coffee. This is not a safety issue, and the specific component was only used in brewers manufactured in calendar 2006. Starting in January 2007, all brewers have been manufactured with a new component which management believes is superior and will substantially eliminate this problem. The Company is currently estimating repair or replacement costs at approximately $1.8 million related to the affected brewers of which $1.4 million is expected to be recovered from its brewer manufacturer. This recovery was reflected in the third quarter cost of sales of Keurig.

The changes in the carrying amount of product warranty reserves for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007 is as follows:

Raw materials and supplies

   $ 9,965,000    $ 10,646,000

   $ 27,491,000    $ 31,796,000
             

Inventory values above are presented net of $378,000 and $219,000 of obsolescence reserves at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $36.2 million in green coffee purchase commitments, of which approximately 43% had a fixed price. These commitments extend through 2010. The value of the variable portion of these commitments was calculated using an average “C” price of coffee of $1.17 per pound and a price of $11.77 per pound for Kona Mountain EstateTM coffee. In addition to its green coffee commitments, the Company had approximately $30.7 million in fixed price inventory purchase commitments at June 30, 2007. The Company believes based on relationships established with its suppliers, that the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote.

8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company regularly enters into coffee futures contracts to hedge price-to-be-established purchase commitments of green coffee and therefore designates these contracts as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2007, the Company held no outstanding futures contracts. At September 30, 2006, the Company held outstanding futures contracts with a fair market value of $(81,000).

At June 30, 2007, deferred gains on futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges amounted to $4,000 ($2,000 net of taxes). These deferred gains are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. In the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007, total gains on futures contracts (gross of tax) included in cost of sales amounted to $31,000. In the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, total losses on futures contracts (gross of tax) included in cost of sales amounted to $49,000. In the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, total gains on futures contracts (gross of tax) included in cost of sales amounted to $98,000 and $111,000, respectively.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America N.A. (“Bank of America”) effective June 9, 2006, in connection with its credit facility entered into on June 15, 2006. The notional amount of the swap was $65,467,000 and $69,133,000 at June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The effect of this swap is to limit the interest rate exposure of the credit facility to a fixed rate of 5.44% versus the 30-day LIBOR rate. The swap’s notional amount will decrease progressively in future periods and terminates on June 15, 2011.

At June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company estimates it would have paid $208,000 and $793,000 (gross of tax), respectively, had it terminated its interest rate agreement. The Company designates the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the swap is classified in accumulated other comprehensive income.

For the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, the Company paid $20,000 and $58,000 pursuant to the swap agreement, which increased interest expense. For each of the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, the Company received $10,000 and $13,000, respectively, pursuant to the swap agreement, which reduced interest expense. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the swap agreement; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

 

9. Equity Investment in Keurig

Prior to the acquisition of Keurig on June 15, 2006, the Company owned 33.2% of Keurig on a fully diluted basis and accounted for its investment in Keurig under the equity method of accounting. Since the date of the acquisition, Keurig’s results from operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In addition to its investment in Keurig, the Company conducted arms-length business transactions with Keurig. Under license agreements with Keurig, the Company paid Keurig a royalty for sales of Keurig licensed products. The Company formerly recorded


in cost of sales royalties in the amount of $2,456,000 and $9,497,000 for the ten and thirty-eight weeks ended June 15, 2006 (the Keurig merger date), respectively. Keurig also purchased coffee products from the Company. For the ten and thirty-eight weeks ended June 15, 2006, the Company sold $1,759,000 and $3,966,000 worth of coffee products to Keurig, respectively. In addition, the Company purchased brewer equipment from Keurig. For the ten and thirty-eight weeks ended June 15, 2006, the Company purchased $192,000 and $1,361,000 worth of brewers and associated equipment from Keurig, respectively. The Company eliminated the effect of these related party transactions.

Prior to the merger, the earnings related to the Company’s investment in Keurig were comprised of two components: (1) the Company’s equity interest in the earnings of Keurig and (2) changes in the fair value of the Company’s investment in Keurig’s preferred stock. During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, the losses related to the equity investment in Keurig amounted to ($629,000) and ($963,000).

Prior to the merger, Keurig was on a calendar year-end fiscal year. The Company included in its income for the forty week period ended July 1, 2006 the Company’s equity interest in the fourth calendar fiscal quarter of Keurig’s earnings (October 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005) and the first two calendar fiscal quarters of Keurig’s earnings (January 1, 2006 through June 15, 2006, the merger date). The equity interest in the earnings of Keurig included the Company’s portion of Keurig’s earnings for the period relative to the Company’s ownership of common stock in Keurig for that period, net of certain adjustments. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, the Company’s equity interest in the losses of Keurig amounted to ($686,000) and ($3,384,000), respectively.

During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, ($488,000) and ($3,502,000) of the equity interest in Keurig’s losses was due to the accretion of preferred stock redemption rights. The carrying value of Keurig’s preferred stock was being accreted to the estimated redemption value ratably through the earliest possible redemption date of February 4, 2007. The redemption value represented Keurig’s estimate of the amount the holders of the preferred shares would receive upon redemption. The redemption value was based upon a valuation of Keurig performed annually and approved by Keurig’s board of directors. The Company carried its investment in Keurig’s preferred stock at accreted redemption value, which approximated fair value. During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, $57,000 and $2,421,000 of the earnings related to the investment in Keurig was due to increases in the fair value of the Company’s preferred shares based upon a valuation determined by Keurig’s Board of Directors. The Company recognized its earnings related to its investment in Keurig net of related tax effects.

10. Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for stock compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (“FAS123(R)”). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for grants issued in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007: an expected life averaging 5.6 years; an average volatility of 39%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 4.7%. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007 was $10 per share.


The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the grants issued during the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006: an expected life averaging 5 years; an average volatility of 43%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 5%. The weighted-average fair values of options granted during the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006 was $7.

The grant-date fair value of employees’ purchase rights under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the purchase rights granted in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007: an expected life averaging 6 months; an average volatility of 36%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 5.0%. The weighted-average fair values of purchase rights granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007 was $4 per share.

The grant-date fair value of employees’ purchase rights under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life equal to 6 months; a volatility of 33%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate equal to 3.8% for the purchase rights granted during the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006. The weighted-average fair values of purchase rights granted during the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006 was $3.

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, income before income taxes was reduced by a stock compensation expense of $1,189,000 and $2,937,000. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, income before income taxes was reduced by a stock compensation expense of $555,000 and $1,334,000.

On the basis of interim guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service, on December 7, 2006, the Company and its Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Rathke, agreed to amend a discounted option to avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code by increasing the exercise price of the option to the fair market value on the date of its grant. This agreement also provides for a deferred cash payment equal to the difference between the original option price and the amended option price. The Company recorded an expense of $78,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007 to account for this modification.

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”). The ESOP is qualified under sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007 and in the forty week period ended July 1, 2006, the Company recorded compensation costs of $171,000 and $154,000 to accrue for anticipated stock distributions under the ESOP, respectively. On June 30, 2007, the ESOP held 29,310 unearned shares at an average cost of $9.03.

The Company also maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not subject to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and which allows participants to defer compensation until a future date. Only non-employee directors and certain highly compensated employees of the Company selected by the Company’s board of directors are eligible to participate


in the Plan. In the thirty-nine week period ended June 30, 2007, $48,000 of compensation expense was recorded under this Plan. In the forty week period ended July 1, 2006, $37,000 of compensation expense was recorded under this Plan.

 

11. Income Taxes

During fiscal 2004, the state of Vermont awarded the Company tax credits totaling $2,091,000, to be earned over a five-year period from fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2008. The Company records the tax benefit of these credits in the periods that they are earned. Through fiscal 2006 the Company had earned $1,750,000 of the $2,091,000 total credit, and is expected to earn the remaining $341,000 during fiscal 2007. The Company expects to utilize approximately $541,000 of the tax credit during fiscal 2007 and the remaining unutilized credit is carried forward as a deferred tax asset. The tax credits are subject to recapture and disallowance in the event of a substantial curtailment of the Company’s trade or business.

14. Recent pronouncements

In September 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Under SFAS 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between principal market participants. The FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions principal market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The provisions of this statement must be implemented in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently reviewing this new accounting standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In July 2006, FASB interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, was issued. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 must be implemented in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently reviewing this new accounting standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.115” (“SFAS159”). SFAS159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with


the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. The fair value option established will permit all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. An entity shall record unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected through net income in the statement of operations at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, which is fiscal year 2009 for the Company. The Company is currently reviewing this new accounting standard.

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

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We are a leader in the specialty coffee industry. We roast high-quality Arabica coffees and offer over 100 coffee selections, including single-origins, estates, certified organics, Fair Trade Certified™, proprietary blends, and flavored coffees that we sell under the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters® and Newman’s Own® Organics brands. We sell coffee to retailers including supermarkets, convenience stores, specialty food stores; food service enterprises including restaurants, hotels, universities and business offices; and directly to individual consumers, and we track coffee sales through-five separate channels: food service; office coffee service (OCS); consumer direct; supermarkets; and convenience stores.

On June 15, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of Keurig for approximately $104.3 million. Keurig is a pioneer and leading manufacturer of gourmet single-cup brewing systems and markets its premium patented single-cup (“K-Cup”) coffee brewing systems for the office and the home. Keurig sells its single cup brewers, coffee and tea in K-Cups produced by a variety of roasters and related accessories mainly in domestic wholesale and retail markets and also sells directly to consumers. Keurig receives royalties tied to K-Cup sales, per the terms of its manufacturing and distribution license agreements.

Cost of sales for the Company consists of the cost of raw materials including coffee beans, flavorings and packaging materials; a portion of our rental expense; the salaries and related expenses of production; distribution and merchandising personnel; depreciation on production equipment; the cost of brewers manufactured by suppliers, warranty expense, and freight, duties and delivery expenses. Selling and operating expenses consist of expenses that directly support sales, including media and advertising expenses; a portion of the rental expense; and the salaries and related expenses of employees directly supporting sales as well as Keurig research and development. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses incurred for corporate support and administration, including a portion of the rental expense and the salaries and related expenses of personnel not elsewhere categorized.

On June 15, 2006, we entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders. This Credit Facility was utilized to finance the Keurig acquisition and associated transaction expenses, as well as to refinance the Company’s existing outstanding indebtedness. The Credit Facility provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $125 million and expires on June 15, 2011.

Prior to the acquisition of Keurig, the Company owned 33.2% of Keurig on a fully diluted basis and accounted for its investment in Keurig under the equity method of accounting. Since the date of the acquisition, Keurig’s results from operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Basis of Presentation

Since the acquisition of Keurig in June 2006, we have managed our operations through two business segments, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. and Keurig, and we evaluate performance primarily based on segment operating income. The operating segments do not share manufacturing or distribution facilities, and most administrative functions such as accounting and information services are decentralized. Throughout this presentation, we refer to the consolidated company as “the Company” or “Green Mountain Coffee,” and we refer to our operating segments as “GMCR” and “Keurig.”

All share and per share data in this presentation reflect the three-for-one stock split effected on July 27, 2007.

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to net income and diluted EPS excluding certain expenses and losses, which we refer to as Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted EPS. These Non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based employee compensation and amortization of identifiable intangibles related to the Keurig acquisition completed on June 15, 2006 and non-cash gains or losses from the Company’s equity investment in Keurig prior to the acquisition. Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted EPS are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The Company’s management uses these Non-GAAP measures in discussing and analyzing its results of operations because it believes the Non-GAAP measures provide investors with greater transparency by helping to illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and comparability between current and prior periods. Management uses the Non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor budgets and operational goals and to evaluate the performance of the Company. A reconciliation of all GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the Company’s financial tables accompanying this filing.

The Company changed its quarterly calendar in fiscal 2007 to report four thirteen-week quarters ending on the last Saturday in September (which is the same year-end as in prior years). The prior quarterly calendar was sixteen weeks for the first quarter, twelve weeks for the second, third and fourth quarters except in the years with the additional 53rd week. In addition to results for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006 provided in accordance with GAAP throughout this report, we have provided as-adjusted measurements to conform our third quarter 2006 and year-to-date 2006 results to the 2007 presentation related to our quarterly calendar change. Management believes the as-adjusted 2006 data is useful for investors by providing a comparable time period in evaluating the Company’s financial results for its 2007 fiscal quarter. The adjusted 2006 financial results are referred to as the “as-adjusted prior period” for the comparable 13 week third quarter 2006 and the “as-adjusted YTD prior period” for the comparable 39 week fiscal 2006 period.

A reconciliation of the fiscal third quarter 2006 and year-to-date 2006 consolidated statement of operations as reported for the twelve weeks and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006 and the as-adjusted fiscal third quarter 2006 and year-to-date 2006 presented on a thirteen week and thirty-nine week basis which would have ended on June 24, 2006 is provided in the Company’s financial tables below.

The consumer direct channel grew 42% in coffee pounds shipped. The majority of this growth was related to the sales of K-Cups® to consumers for use with Keurig® Single-Cup Brewers. The resellers channel, which includes GMCR K-cup sales to Keurig for its developing business in retail department stores and over the internet, increased 147% in coffee pounds shipped. The 18% increase in coffee pounds shipped in the OCS channel continues to demonstrate the appeal and success of the Keurig single-cup brewing system.

The food service channel increased 15% in coffee pounds shipped with the majority of this increase driven by sales to McDonalds restaurants in New England and Albany, New York. The supermarket channel coffee pounds shipped increased 6% with increased coffee pounds growth from both existing and new customers. In the convenience store channel, coffee pounds shipped increased 3% primarily related to fluctuations in quarterly inventory replenishment to McLane Company, the distributor to Exxon Mobil Corporation convenience stores.


We experienced a 15% gain in shipments of certified Fair Trade and organic coffees, including co-branded Newman’s Own® Organics coffees. Certified Fair Trade and organic coffees represented 28% of total volume shipped in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

Keurig

Net sales of Keurig included in our third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $30.4 million (including $5.7 million of inter-company brewer sales and royalty revenue), an increase of 91% over the prior year period when Keurig’s financial results were not fully consolidated into our financial results. Net sales of the Company in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 include approximately $2.5 million of Keurig net sales (including $0.6 million of intercompany brewer sales and royalty revenue) for the two-week period after the closing of the acquisition on June 15, 2006. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher brewer and K-Cup sales and royalty income from the sales of K-Cups.

Gross Profit

Company gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 totaled $34.1 million or 41.4% of net sales as compared to $17.7 million or 37.1% of net sales reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company’s gross profit increased by $15.8 million, or 86.5%, from $18.3 million in the as-adjusted prior period.

As a percentage of net sales, Company gross profit margin increased 5.3% to 41.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 36.1% in the as-adjusted prior period. This improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to the impact of consolidating Keurig’s higher gross profit margin results into the Company’s financial results and the elimination of inter-company royalties for K-Cups from cost of sales.

The GMCR segment gross profit margin was 33.4% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to third quarter of fiscal 2006 gross profit margin of 36.0%. The third quarter 2007 decline in gross profit margin in the GMCR segment was due primarily to variations in sales mix (mostly related to the higher percentage of sales of K-Cups, which have a lower gross margin).


The Keurig segment gross profit was 45.9% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Keurig provides for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily using historical information and repair or replacement costs, at the time product revenue is recognized. The Company offers a one-year warranty on all Keurig brewers it sells. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company experienced higher warranty returns associated with two brewer models. These returns were traced to the same component in each of these models. This component caused a false triggering of a redundant safety system related to the regulation of the water heating system in these brewers. As a result, the water heater in the affected brewers was permanently turned off, and the brewers were no longer able to brew K-Cups. This is not a safety issue, and the specific component was only used in brewers manufactured in calendar 2006. Starting in January 2007, all brewers have been manufactured with a new component designed to eliminate this problem. The Company is currently estimating repair or replacement costs at approximately $1.8 million related to the affected brewers of which $1.4 million is expected to be recovered from its brewer manufacturer. This recovery was reflected in the third quarter cost of sales of Keurig.

Company selling, general and administrative (“S,G&A”) expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased by $13.6 million to $26.8 million from $13.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company’s S,G&A expenses increased by $13.5 million from $13.3 million in the as-adjusted prior period. The increase in S,G&A expenses is mainly due to the impact of consolidating Keurig’s S,G&A expenses into the Company’s financial results.

As a percentage of sales, total Company S,G&A expenses increased to 32.5% from 27.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and 26.2% in the as-adjusted prior period, primarily due to the inclusion of $1.2 million non-cash amortization expenses related to the identifiable intangibles in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 as part of the purchase price accounting for the acquisition of Keurig and an increase of $0.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation charges over the as-adjusted prior period.

Operating Income

Company operating income was $7.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, and $5.0 million in the as-adjusted prior period, and, as a percentage of net sales, 8.9%, 9.6% and 9.9%, respectively. Excluding the non-cash amortization expenses related to the identifiable intangibles of approximately $1.2 million and the $1.2 million total stock compensation charge, the Company’s operating margin was 11.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as compared to 11.3% in the as-adjusted prior period.

Other Income and Interest Expense

Company interest expense was $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, up from $322,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, and from $127,000 in the as-adjusted prior period. The increase is mainly due to increased borrowings under our $125 million revolving credit agreement used to fund the acquisition of Keurig. The average effective interest rate was 6.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We capitalized $125,000 of interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, up from $18,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.


Income Before Taxes and Taxes

The GMCR segment income before taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3.2 million as compared to $4.8 million reported in third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Keurig’s income before taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $5.4 million (prior to $1.2 million of intangibles amortization, $1.4 million of interest expense and ($0.1) million of intercompany profit elimination), as compared to $10,000 reported in the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2006.

The effective income tax rate for the Company was 38.2% in the third fiscal quarter of 2007, down from 40.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease is primarily due to changes in estimates of R&D credits earned since the merger with Keurig and changes in state apportionments.

Net Income and Diluted EPS

Company net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3.7 million, as compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $0.15 per share, as compared to $0.08 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income was $2.3 million and $0.10 per diluted share in the as-adjusted prior period. Excluding the impact of the non-cash items described below, Non-GAAP net income grew approximately 55% in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 totaling $5.2 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to Non-GAAP net income of $3.3 million or $0.14 per share, in the as-adjusted prior period. The non-cash items excluded were: (i) pre-tax non-cash stock-based compensation charges of $1,189,000 in the fiscal third quarter of 2007 as compared to $601,000 in the as-adjusted prior period; (ii) pre-tax non-cash amortization expense related to the identifiable intangibles acquired from Keurig of $1.2 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2007 as compared to $0.1 million in the as-adjusted prior period; and (iii) the Company’s net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 includes recognition of after-tax non-cash loss of $629,000 as a result of its equity investment in Keurig.

Revenue

Company Summary

Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007 (the “2007 YTD period”) totaled $248.6 million as compared to $158.4 million reported in the prior fiscal year’s forty weeks ended July 1, 2006 (the “2006 YTD period”). Net sales for the 2007 YTD period increased by $95.1 million or 62% over the as-adjusted YTD prior period.

GMCR

GMCR segment net sales for the 2007 YTD period were $180.8 million (including $7.6 million of inter-company K-cup sales) as compared to $156.5 million reported in the 2006 YTD period. The GMCR segment K-Cup® shipments of coffee and tea increased 41% over the as-adjusted YTD prior period.

The consumer direct channel grew 38% in coffee pounds shipped. The majority of this growth was related to the sales of K-Cups® to consumers for use with Keurig® Single-Cup Brewers. The resellers channel increased 147% primarily due to K-Cup sales to Keurig, for their developing retail and consumer channels. The 20% increase in coffee pounds shipped in the OCS channel continues to demonstrate the appeal and success of the Keurig single-cup brewing system. The food service channel increased 16% in coffee pounds shipped with the majority of this increase driven by sales to existing customers, including McDonald’s restaurants in New England and Albany, New York.

In the convenience store channel, coffee pounds shipped were relatively flat increasing 1%. The supermarket channel coffee pounds shipped decreased 1% with increased coffee pounds from new customer acquisitions not fully offsetting certain declines in some other supermarket customers due to increased competition in the specialty coffee category in this channel.

Keurig

Net sales of Keurig included in the 2007 YTD period were $92.1 million (including $16.7 million of inter-company brewer sales and royalty revenue), an increase of 70% over the as-adjusted YTD prior period when Keurig was not fully consolidated into our financial results. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher brewer and K-Cup sales and royalty income from the sales of K-Cups.

Gross Profit

Company gross profit for the 2007 YTD period totaled $98.3 million or 39.5% of net sales as compared to $56.9 million or 35.9% of net sales reported in the 2006 YTD period. The Company’s gross profit increased by $43.5 million, or 79.2%, from $54.8 million in the as-adjusted YTD prior period.

As a percentage of net sales, Company gross profit margin increased 3.8% to 39.5% in the 2007 YTD period as compared to 35.7% in the as-adjusted YTD prior period. This improvement in gross profit margin was primarily due to the impact of consolidating Keurig’s higher gross profit margin results into the Company’s financial results and the elimination of inter-company royalties for K-Cups from cost of sales.


The GMCR segment gross profit was 34.0% of net sales in the 2007 YTD period as compared to the 2006 YTD period of 35.6%, with the 2007 decline in margin due primarily to variations in sales mix (mostly related to the higher percentage of sales of K-Cups, which have a lower gross margin). The Keurig segment gross profit was 40.0% of net sales in the 2007 YTD period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Company S,G&A expenses for the 2007 YTD period increased by $34.9 million to $78.1 million from $43.2 million in the 2006 YTD period. The Company’s S,G&A expenses increased by $36.5 million, or 87.8%, from $41.6 million in the as-adjusted YTD prior period. The increase in S,G&A expenses is mainly due to the impact of consolidating Keurig’s S,G&A expenses into the Company’s financial results.

In the 2007 YTD period, total Company S,G&A expenses increased to 31.4% of net sales from 27.3% of net sales in the 2006 YTD period, and 27.1% of net sales in the as-adjusted YTD prior period. For 2007 YTD period, the increase in S,G&A as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the inclusion of $3.6 million non-cash amortization expenses related to the identifiable intangibles in the 2007 YTD period as part of the purchase price accounting for the acquisition of Keurig, and an increase of $1.5 million in non-cash stock-based compensation charges over the as-adjusted YTD prior period.

Operating Income

Company operating income was $20.2 million in the 2007 YTD period, as compared to $13.7 million in the previously reported 2006 YTD period, and $13.3 million in the as-adjusted YTD prior period, and, as a percentage of net sales, 8.1%, 8.6% and 8.6%, respectively. Excluding the non-cash amortization expenses related to the identifiable intangibles of approximately $3.6 million and the $2.9 million total stock compensation charge, the Company’s operating margin was 10.8% in the 2007 YTD period, as compared to 9.6% in the as-adjusted YTD prior period.

Other Income and Interest Expense

Company interest expense increased by $4.4 million to $4.9 million in the 2007 YTD period, up from $445,000 in the 2006 YTD period, and from $227,000 in the as-adjusted YTD prior period. The increase is mainly due to increased borrowings under our $125 million revolving credit agreement used to fund the acquisition of Keurig. We capitalized $280,000 of interest expense in the 2007 YTD period, up from $115,000 of interest expense in the 2006 YTD period.

Income Before Taxes and Taxes

The GMCR segment income before taxes for the 2007 YTD period was $12.9 million as compared to $13.9 million reported in 2006 YTD period.

The effective income tax rate for the Company was 40.2% in the 2007 YTD period, down from 41.6% in the 2006 YTD period.

Net Income and Diluted EPS

Company net income for the 2007 YTD period was $9.3 million, as compared to $6.9 million in the 2006 YTD period.

Excluding the impact of the non-cash items described below, Non-GAAP net income grew approximately 54% in the 2007 YTD period totaling $13.2 million, or $0.54 per share, compared to Non-GAAP net income of $8.6 million or $0.36 per share, in the as-adjusted YTD prior period. The non-cash items excluded were: (i) pre-tax non-cash stock-based compensation charges of $2.9 million in the 2007 YTD period as compared to $1.3 million in the as-adjusted YTD prior period; (ii) pre-tax non-cash amortization expense related to the identifiable intangibles acquired from Keurig of $3.6 million in the 2007 YTD period as compared to $0.1 million in the as-adjusted prior YTD period; and (iii) the Company’s net income in the 2006 YTD period includes recognition of after-tax non-cash loss of $963,000 as a result of its equity investment in Keurig.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital was $22,553,000 at June 30, 2007, down $6,597,000 from $29,150,000 at September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to lower inventories and accounts receivable.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $31,298,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $13,553,000 for the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006. Cash flows from operations were used to fund capital expenditures and repay long-term debt in both periods presented.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, we had capital expenditures of $15,229,000, including $8,138,000 for production and distribution equipment; $4,224,000 for computer equipment and software; $1,484,000 for leasehold improvements, building, fixtures and vehicles; and $1,383,000 for loaner equipment.

During the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, we had capital expenditures of $9,923,000, including $5,385,000 for production and packaging equipment, $1,775,000 for computer equipment and software, $1,759,000 for loaner equipment, and $1,004,000 for leasehold improvements, fixtures and vehicles.

At June 30, 2007, the balance of fixed assets classified as construction in progress and therefore not being depreciated in the current period amounted to $9,571,000. This balance primarily includes expenditures related to the purchase and installation of automated packaging equipment as well as various computer software and hardware upgrades. All assets in construction in progress are expected to be ready for production use in the next twelve months.


In the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, cash flows from financing activities included $2,195,000 generated from the exercise of employee stock options and issuance of shares under the employee stock purchase plan, up from $955,000 in the forty week period ended July 1, 2006. In addition, cash flows from operating and financing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007 included a $2,839,000 tax benefit from the exercise of non-qualified options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options, up from $1,043,000 in the forty weeks ended July 1, 2006. As options granted under our stock option plans are exercised, we will continue to receive proceeds and a tax deduction for disqualifying dispositions; however, we cannot predict either the amounts or the timing of these disqualifying dispositions.

We maintain a $125,000,000 credit facility with Bank of America and other lenders. At June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit was $82,000,000. A letter of credit in the amount of $56,000 was also outstanding at June 30, 2007.

The credit facility is subject to the following financial covenants: a minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant, a funded debt to adjusted EBITDA covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and a capital expenditures covenant. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2007.

We expect to spend between $23 million and $26 million in capital expenditures in fiscal 2007, primarily for production and packaging equipment, and computer software upgrades. Such capital expenditures are anticipated to be funded from operating cash flows.

We believe that our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and the modified credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to pay all liabilities in the normal course of business, and fund anticipated capital expenditures and service debt requirements through the next 12 months. However, several risks and uncertainties could cause the Company to need to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. From time to time the Company considers acquisition opportunities which, if pursued, could also result in the need for additional financing. The availability and terms of any such financing would be subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors at that time.

A summary of our cash requirements related to our outstanding long-term debt, future minimum lease payments and green coffee purchase commitments is as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period (see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 2006.). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We have identified the following as critical accounting policies based on the significant judgment and estimates used in determining the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements:

Provision for Doubtful Accounts

Periodically, we review the adequacy of our provision for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt expense results and current economic conditions using factors based on the aging of our accounts receivable. In addition, from time-to-time we estimate specific additional allowances based on indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties. Actual bad debt results could differ materially from these estimates.

Goodwill and intangibles

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142), goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually using the fair value method, and more frequently if indication of impairment arises. On June 5, 2001, the Company purchased the coffee business of Frontier Natural Products Co-op (Frontier) and recorded $1,446,000 of goodwill related to this acquisition. On an annual basis, the Company re-evaluates the fair value of the reporting unit associated with the Frontier acquisition and compares it to the carrying amount of goodwill. Estimation of fair value is dependent on a number of factors, including the market capitalization of the whole Company and estimates of the Company’s sales of its fair trade and organics products. On June 15, 2006, the Company acquired Keurig, Inc. and recorded $73,900,000 of goodwill which will be tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142 during fiscal 2007. Based on the impairment tests performed, there was no impairment of goodwill in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004. All intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets, including fixed assets, investments in other companies, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to projected future cash flows in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses. Upon indication that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss as a charge against current operations. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Judgments we make related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in economic conditions, and changes in operating performance. As we assess the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, these factors could cause us to realize a material impairment charge.


Hedge Accounting

We enter into coffee futures contracts to hedge against price increases in price-to-be-fixed coffee purchase commitments and anticipated coffee purchases. The Company also enters into interest rate swaps to hedge against unfavorable changes in interest rates. These derivative instruments qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Hedge accounting is permitted if the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective. Effectiveness is determined by how closely the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument offset the changes in the fair value of the hedged item. If the derivative is determined to qualify for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the related hedged item is sold. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded directly to earnings. If these derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting, we would record the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments directly to earnings. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and Note 8 in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” included elsewhere in this report.

The Company formally documents hedging instruments and hedged items, and measures at each balance sheet date the effectiveness of its hedges. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective, the derivative expires, or is sold or terminated, or the derivative is discontinued because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively for that specific hedge instrument.

The Company does not engage in speculative transactions, nor does it hold derivative instruments for trading purposes.

Income Taxes

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of green and roasted coffee, including coffee in portion packs, purchased finished goods such as coffee brewers, and packaging materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is being measured using a standard cost method which approximates FIFO (first-in first-out). We regularly review whether the realizable value of our inventory is lower than its book value. If our valuation shows that the realizable value is lower than book value, we take a charge to expense and directly reduce the value of the inventory.

The Company estimates its reserves for inventory obsolescence by examining its inventories on a quarterly basis to determine if there are indicators that the carrying values exceed net realizable value. Indicators that could result in additional inventory write downs include age of inventory, damaged inventory, slow moving products and products at the end of their life cycles. While management believes that the reserve for obsolete inventory is adequate, significant judgment is involved in determining the adequacy of this reserve.


Revenue recognition

Revenue from wholesale and consumer direct sales is recognized upon product delivery. The Company has no contractual obligation to accept returns for damaged product nor does it guarantee product sales. Title, risk of loss, damage and insurance responsibility for the products pass from the Company to the buyer upon accepted delivery of the products from the Company’s contracted carrier. The Company will at times agree to accept returns or issue credits for products that are clearly damaged in transit.

Sales of single-cup coffee brewers are recognized net of an estimated allowance for returns. Royalty revenue is recognized upon shipment of K-Cups by roasters as set forth under the terms and conditions of various licensing agreements.

In addition, the Company’s customers can earn certain incentives, which are netted against sales in the consolidated income statements. These incentives include, but are not limited to, cash discounts, funds for promotional and marketing activities, and performance-based incentive programs.

Stock based compensation

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (“FAS123(R)”) at the beginning of our first fiscal quarter of 2006. FAS123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. FAS123(R) requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (usually stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The Company measures the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model using certain assumptions, including the expected life of the stock options, an expected forfeiture rate and the expected volatility of its common stock. The expected life of options is estimated based on options vested periods, contractual lives and an analysis of the Company’s historical experience. The expected forfeiture rate is based on the Company’s historical experience. The Company uses a blended historical volatility to estimate expected volatility at the measurement date.

Warranty

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily using historical information and repair or replacement costs, at the time product revenue is recognized.

Recent pronouncements

In September 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Under SFAS 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The FASB clarifies the principle that fair


value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The provisions of this statement must be implemented in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently reviewing this new accounting standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In July 2006, FASB interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, was issued. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 must be implemented in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Company is currently reviewing this new accounting standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.115” (SFAS159). FAS159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. The fair value option established will permit all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. An entity shall record unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected through net income in the statement of operations at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, which is fiscal year 2009 for the Company. The Company is currently reviewing this new accounting standard.

Factors Affecting Quarterly Performance

Historically, Green Mountain Coffee has experienced variations in sales and earnings from quarter to quarter due to the holiday season and a variety of other factors, including, but not limited to, general economic trends, the cost of green coffee, competition, marketing programs, weather and special or unusual events. Because of the seasonality our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information, the discussion in this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “feel,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” and similar expressions, may identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in availability and cost of high-quality green coffee, pricing pressures and competition in general, our ability to continue


to grow and build profits in the office and at home markets with its single-cup brewers for the home and office markets, organizational changes, the impact of a weaker economy, business conditions in the coffee industry and food industry in general, the impact of the loss of one or more major customers, delays in the timing of adding new locations with existing customers, our level of success in continuing to attract new customers, variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rate, and weather and special or unusual events, as well as other risks described in this report and other factors described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and commodity prices (the “C” price of coffee). To address these risks, we enter into hedging transactions as described below. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes. For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to determine the impacts that market risk exposures may have on our financial position or earnings.

Interest rate risks

The table below provides information about our debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

 

Expected maturity date

   2007,
remaining
    2008     2009     2010    2011     Total  

Long-term debt:

Average interest rate

Fixed rate (in thousands)

   $ 20     $ 49     $ 20     —      $ 65,467     $ 65,556  

Average interest rate

     2.54 %     3.44 %     4.59 %   —        6.94 %     6.91 %

At June 30, 2007, we had $16.5 million subject to variable interest rates. Should interest rates (LIBOR and Prime rates) increase by 100 basis points, we would incur additional interest expense of $165,000 annually.

On June 9, 2006, the Company entered into a swap agreement. The notional amount of the swap at June 30, 2007 was $65,467,000. The effect of this swap is to limit the interest rate exposure on the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility to a fixed rate of 5.44% versus the 30-day LIBOR rate. The swap’s notional amount will decrease progressively in future periods and terminates on June 15, 2011.

The fair market value of the interest rate swap is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counterparty. At June 30, 2007, we estimate we would have had to pay $208,000 (gross of tax), had we terminated the agreement. We designate the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the swap is classified in accumulated other comprehensive income.


For the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended June 30, 2007, the Company paid $20,000 and $58,000 pursuant to the swap agreement, which increased interest expense. For each of the twelve and forty weeks ended July 1, 2006, the Company received $10,000 and $13,000, respectively, pursuant to the swap agreement, which reduced interest expense. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the swap agreement; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

Commodity price risks

Green coffee prices are subject to substantial price fluctuations, generally caused by multiple factors including weather, and political and economic conditions in certain coffee-producing countries. Our gross profit margins can be significantly impacted by changes in the price of green coffee. We enter into fixed coffee purchase commitments in an attempt to secure an adequate supply of coffee. These agreements are tied to specific market prices (defined by both the origin of the coffee and the time of delivery) but we have significant flexibility in selecting the date of the market price to be used in each contract. At June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $36 million in green coffee purchase commitments, of which approximately 43% had a fixed price.

In addition, we regularly use commodity-based financial instruments to hedge price-to-be-established coffee purchase commitments with the objective of minimizing cost risk due to market fluctuations. These hedges generally qualify as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses are deferred in other comprehensive income until the hedged inventory sale is recognized in earnings, at which point they are added to cost of sales. At June 30, 2007, the Company held no outstanding futures contracts.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2007, Green Mountain Coffee’s management with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Green Mountain Coffee’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act) are effective to make known to them in a timely fashion material information related to the Company required to be filed in this report.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
