Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies For a detailed discussion about the Company’s commitments and contingencies, see Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, other than the following, or as otherwise disclosed herein, there were no material changes in the Company’s commitments and contingencies. Purchase Commitments As of March 31, 2023, the Company had committed to purchase green coffee inventory totaling $71.1 million under fixed-price contracts, and $17.7 million in inventory and other purchases under non-cancelable purchase orders. 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 the Company’s subsidiary, Coffee Bean International, Inc., which sell coffee in California under the State of California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (“Prop 65”). The suit alleges that the defendants have failed to issue clear and reasonable warnings in accordance with Prop 65 that the coffee they produce, distribute, and sell contains acrylamide. This lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”). CERT alleges that the Company and the other defendants failed to provide warnings for their coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under Prop 65. Plaintiff seeks equitable relief and civil penalties in the amount of the statutory maximum of $2,500 per day per violation of Prop 65. The Plaintiff asserts that every consumed cup of coffee, absent a compliant warning, is equivalent to a violation under Prop 65. The Company, as part of a joint defense group (“JDG”) organized to defend against the lawsuit, disputes the claims of CERT. Acrylamide is not added to coffee but is present in all coffee in small amounts (parts per billion) as a byproduct of the coffee bean roasting process. A series of procedural and legislative developments occurred in the ensuing years, and at hearings in August 2020 the Court denied CERT’s motion for summary judgment and granted the JDG’s motion for summary judgment. Notice of Judgment in favor of defendants was entered on October 6, 2020. CERT filed an appeal which was denied on October 26, 2022. On December 2, 2022, CERT filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court which the Court denied on February 15, 2023. On February 23, 2023, the appellate court entered an order affirming the trial court’s decision to grant the JDG’s motion for summary judgment and remitting the case to the trial court to affirm the judgment in favor of the JDG. The Company believes that the likelihood that the Company will ultimately incur a loss in connection with this litigation is less than reasonably possible. 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.
