Income Tax Legislation

 

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was enacted on July 4, 2025 and the Company continues to evaluate the impact on its financial position. We currently do not expect the OBBB Act to have a material impact on our estimated annual effective tax rate or cash flows in the current fiscal year.

 

Organic Milk Supply

 

To increase the supply of organic milk available to the Company for the manufacture of finished goods, the Company is purchasing mature dairy cows (or the “herd”) which will be managed by a third-party dairy facility (the “Dairy”), and expects to enter into a supply and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with a COOP (the “COOP”) to purchase the milk produced by the herd.

 

The Company purchased 224 mature dairy cows during July 2025 for $694 and will consider further mature dairy cow purchases in the future.

 

On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a thirty-nine month agreement (the “Herd Agreement”) with a third-party Dairy who will manage care of the herd, milk the herd, and sell the milk to a COOP, with which Lifeway will have a separate supply and purchase agreement. The Dairy will make monthly payments to Lifeway over the agreement period in exchange for its right to sell milk produced by the herd to the COOP and has a right to purchase the herd at the end of the agreement period for a nominal amount.

 

The Company is currently assessing the appropriate accounting treatment for the purchase of the herd and agreement with the Dairy.
