Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Coffee Holding Company Reports Third Quarter Results.

 

STATEN ISLAND, New York – September 11, 2026. Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (Nasdaq: JVA) (the “Company,” “our” or “we”) announced its operating results for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026.

 

Net Sales. Net sales totaled $21,686,262 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, a decrease of $2,224,252, or 9.3% , from $23,910,514 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to the sustained decline in green coffee prices that began in late January and continued throughout most of the quarter. In response to these market conditions, the Company reduced prices and initiated promotional activity for its wholesale roasted coffee customers. In addition, the Company charged lower prices to its wholesale green coffee customers due to the decline in prevailing coffee market prices during the quarter.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was $16,262,131, or 75.0% of net sales, as compared to $21,655,486, or 90.6% of net sales, for the three ended July 31, 2025. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of green coffee and packaging materials and realized and unrealized gains or losses on hedging activity. While cost of sales decreased due to lower sales volume, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales also decreased, primarily due to a favorable inventory position acquired during the first half of the fiscal year when coffee prices declined significantly, tariff refunds recognized during the current period, and a net gain on trading activity during the current period compared to a net loss on trading activity in the comparative period.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was $5,424,131, an increase of $3,169,103 from $2,255,028 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 25.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to 9.4% for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to a favorable inventory position, tariff refunds, and a net gain on trading activity during the current period, as discussed above.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $250,378 to $3,099,801 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, from $3,350,179 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. Selling and administrative expenses decreased from $3,166,764 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, to $2,899,193 for the three months ended July 31, 2026. Operating expenses decreased slightly compared to the prior-year period but remained generally consistent with historical levels.

 

Net Income (Loss). We had net income of $1,993,438 or $0.35 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to net loss of $1,205,413, or $0.21 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The change in net income was due to our results of operations as described above.

 

“In what can only be described as the most volatile three months in the history of the coffee market, with the price of green coffee trading in a $1.00/per lb. trading range with daily price fluctuations reaching an unprecedented $.50/lb., we are pleased to report our shareholders that we had net sales of approximately $21.7 million and earnings of $0.35 a share. Although revenues were comparable to those achieved in fiscal 2025, our profitability was greatly improved as a result of a combination of supporting fundamentals provided a strong tailwind during the reporting period. We were fortunate to have capitalized on the lower green physical coffee market during the first half of calendar 2026 which allowed for the record gross margins we achieved during fiscal Q3 2026.

 

The decision not to charge most wholesale roasted customers tariffs during 2025 proved to be the correct one as we retained 100% of our roasted customer base and maintained our historical profit margins throughout the last several quarters. Now, with tariffs being slowly refunded, we are reaping the rewards for our earlier decisions as the tariff refunds received during the quarter contributed approximately $.06 a share to our earnings and we expect additional refunds to enhance earnings over the next two quarters. Overall, with the continued volatility in the green coffee market showing no clear signs of abating, and the major leading national brands showing no indication of price decreases, as well as significant new business that we have recently secured, we believe we are well positioned moving through the end of calendar 2026 into calendar 2027 to grow our revenue levels, gross margins and our profitability,” concluded Mr. Andrew Gordon, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
