Current report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities increased $15.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The higher cash generation was driven by the increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items and working capital improvement primarily due to higher cash spent for inventory purchases in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Previous report
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities decreased $14.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is driven by timing differences in the collection of accounts receivable and payments made and higher inventory purchases, partly offset by increase in net income, net of non-cash adjustments.

As of June 30, 2025, we source our coconut water from a diversified global network of 16 factories across six countries supported by thousands of coconut farmers. As we do not own any of these factories, our supply chain is a fixed asset-lite model designed to better react to changes in the market or consumer preferences. We also work with co-packers in U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe to support local packaging and repacking of our products to better service our customers’ needs.
Current wording
As of September 30, 2025, we source our products from a diversified global network of approximately 20 factories and co-packers, supported by coconut farmers across seven countries.

•Uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment resulting from geopolitical and economic instability (including the effects of current wars and other international conflicts) and variability in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, tariffs and other import related fees, and inflationary cost environments may affect our global supply chain. Additionally, as further discussed below, the extent and duration of tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on other countries and reciprocal tariffs placed on U.S. goods in response thereto remains uncertain and may depend on various factors, including negotiations and relationships between the U.S. and affected countries, tariff exemptions, negative sentiment toward U.S. companies and products, and availability of domestic alternatives in our supply chain. It is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of these macroeconomic uncertainties on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Future events and effects related to these macroeconomic uncertainties cannot be determined with precision and actual results could significantly differ from estimates or forecasts. For a further discussion of the risks and challenges posed by these events, please see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K.

Previous wording
•During the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. government announced tariffs on certain imports, including imports from Mexico, and Canada. We currently believe that our production in Mexico and Canada is exempt from these tariffs under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agre ement ("USMCA"). On April 2, 2025, the U.S. announced a new universal baseline tariff of 10%, plus significant additional country-specific tariffs for select trading partners, on all U.S. imports. The reciprocal tariffs were subsequently paused for 90 days on most countries; however the 10% baseline tariff is currently being applied, which has increased our cost of goods sold. The baseline tariffs are being challenged in the U.S. legal system and it is unclear whether the tariffs will be upheld and remain in place, or if they will be struck down by the courts. Currently, we are assuming for purposes of our business operations that the baseline tariffs will be in effect indefinitely. However, the uncertainty around the long-term tariff rates that could be applied to our importation of products into the U.S. presents significant challenges to our operations and supply chain, and may result in future results being significantly different than any outlook given. We cannot predict what additional actions might be considered or implemented by the U.S. or its trade partners, particularly in the current geopolitical environment. The uncertainty could also cause disturbances in ocean shipping capacity that could affect our ability to secure ocean freight containers for our products, and create inflationary effects on our costs, in addition to the direct impact of tariffs. We are closely monitoring the evolving tariff landscape and attempting to mitigate these impacts, including using pricing adjustments, sourcing strategies and other cost-mitigation measures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate the impacts of such tariffs or that the imposition of tariffs, and the resulting economic impact on the U.S. market and consumer, will not be material to our financial results. We primarily source from the Philippines and Brazil, with additional sourcing from Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Canada, and Mexico. Recently, the administration delayed the reciprocal tariff implementation, but then announced significant proposed tariffs on certain of these countries replacing the initially announced reciprocal tariffs, which may further increase our cost of goods sold. In particular, a 50% tariff has been proposed for Brazil, which was not initially listed as one of the proposed reciprocal tariffs. At this time, the overall impact on our business related to tariffs remains uncertain and depends on multiple factors, including the timing, duration and size of any tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope, or enforcement of such tariffs, reciprocal measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects, changes to consumer purchasing behavior, and the effe…

Current wording
•The U.S. government implemented a 10% baseline tariff, plus country-specific rates, effective April 2, 2025, with revised reciprocal tariffs announced in early August 2025, of approximately 20% (including the baseline tariff) for Asian countries from which we source, and 50% for Brazil. We source to the U.S. primarily from the Philippines and Brazil, with additional supply from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Canada, Mexico, and Indonesia; however, currently, our Mexico and Canada imports remain exempt under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”). The tariffs are being challenged in the U.S. legal system and will be reviewed by the Supreme Court in November 2025. The tariffs currently remain in effect, and we are assuming for purposes of our business operations that the tariffs will be in effect indefinitely at a current blended tariff rate of approximately 23% based on end-of-quarter sourcing. It has been suggested that in individual country trade deals, waivers for tariffs may be granted for natural resources not available in the U.S. at scale to meet U.S. demand. We believe this classification could be applicable to coconut water and we are lobbying to encourage that coconut water is included in any trade agreements with our sourcing countries. The uncertainty around the long-term tariff rates presents significant challenges to our operations and supply chain, and may result in future results being significantly different than any outlook given. The uncertainty could also cause disturbances in ocean shipping capacity and create inflationary effects on our costs. We are monitoring the evolving tariff landscape and pursuing pricing adjustments, sourcing strategy modifications, and other cost-mitigation measures. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully mitigate the impacts of such tariffs or that the imposition of tariffs, and the resulting economic impact on the U.S. market and consumer, will not materially affect our financial results. The overall impact on our business related to tariffs depends on multiple factors, including the timing, duration and size of any tariffs, future changes to tariff rates, scope, or enforcement of such tariffs, reciprocal measures by impacted trade partners, inflationary effects, changes to consumer purchasing behavior, and the effectiveness of our responses in managing these challenges. The tariffs, any retaliatory measures, or other trade restrictions, could materially and adversely affect our business.

Gross profit has been, and will continue to be, affected by various factors, including the mix of products we sell, the channels through which we sell our products, the promotional environment in the marketplace, manufacturing costs, commodity prices, warehouse costs, and transportation rates. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these variables.
