Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they address future events, developments, and results and do not relate strictly to historical facts. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements, and may contain the words "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seeks," "should," "likely," "targets," "may", "can" and variations thereof and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. We believe important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
| o | the effects of rising costs and availability of raw fruit and vegetables, steel, ingredients, packaging, other raw materials, distribution and labor; |
| o | crude oil prices and their impact on distribution, packaging and energy costs; |
| o | an overall labor shortage, ability to retain a sufficient seasonal workforce, lack of skilled labor, labor inflation or increased turnover impacting our ability to recruit and retain employees; |
| o | climate and weather affecting growing conditions and crop yields; |
| o | our ability to successfully implement sales price increases and cost saving measures to offset cost increases; |
| o | the loss of significant customers or a substantial reduction in orders from these customers; |
| o | effectiveness of our marketing and trade promotion programs; |
| o | competition, changes in consumer preferences, demand for our products and local economic and market conditions; |
| o | the impact of a pandemic on our business, suppliers, customers, consumers and employees; |
| o | unanticipated expenses, including, without limitation, litigation or legal settlement expenses; |
| o | product liability claims; |
| o | the anticipated needs for, and the availability of, cash; |
| o | the availability of financing; |
| o | leverage and the ability to service and reduce debt; |
| o | foreign currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations; |
| o | the risks associated with the expansion of our business; |
| o | the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions into our operations; |
| o | our ability to protect information systems against, or effectively respond to, a cybersecurity incident or other disruption; |
| o | other factors that affect the food industry generally, including: |
| ■ | recalls if products become adulterated or misbranded, liability if product consumption causes injury, ingredient disclosure and labeling laws and regulations and the possibility that consumers could lose confidence in the safety and quality of certain food products; |
| ■ | competitors’ pricing practices and promotional spending levels; |
| ■ | fluctuations in the level of our customers’ inventories and credit and other business risks related to our customers operating in a challenging economic and competitive environment; and |
| ■ | the risks associated with third-party suppliers, including the risk that any failure by one or more of our third-party suppliers to comply with food safety or other laws and regulations may disrupt our supply of raw materials or certain finished goods products or injure our reputation; and |
| o | changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, U.S., foreign and local governmental regulations, including environmental and health and safety regulations. |
Any of these factors, as well as such other factors as discussed in (1) Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, (2) Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (3) in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results. The information provided in this Form 10-K is based upon the facts and circumstances known as of the date of this report, and any forward-looking statements made by us in this Form 10-K speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-K to reflect events or circumstances after such date, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
