We have entered into manufacturing and purchase agreements to purchase and produce coffee product from third-party suppliers. These purchase agreements are typically obligations to purchase minimum volumes with fixed pricing if the volume terms are not fulfilled, in the form of a take-or-pay provision.

We are the subject of various legal actions in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, we accrue reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

We could be subject to additional sales tax or other tax liabilities. We follow the guidelines of ASC 450, Accounting for Contingencies, and the consolidated financial statements reflect the current impact of such legislation through our best estimates. However, any of these events could have a material effect on our business and operating results depending on the previous periods of applied enforcement by certain jurisdictions.

We are also subject to U.S. (federal and state) laws, regulations, and administrative practices that require us to collect information from our customers, vendors, merchants, and other third parties for tax reporting purposes and report such information to various government agencies. The scope of such requirements continues to expand, requiring us to develop and implement new compliance systems. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could result in significant penalties and interest which might have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.

On May 20, 2024, one of our co-manufacturers filed a complaint in the district court of Riley County, Kansas against one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Black Rifle Coffee Company LLC, Case RL-2024-CV-000119. The complaint alleges breach of contract and anticipatory breach of contract with respect to certain fees and order volume pursuant to the parties' drink manufacturing agreement, amongst other allegations. On July 18, 2024, we filed a partial motion to dismiss relating to certain of these allegations. On November 13, 2024, the court denied our motion to dismiss other than for the co-manufacturer’s claim of fraudulent inducement, for which the court has granted leave to amend. Discovery has closed. On September 11, 2026, the court granted partial summary judgment in our favor. Pretrial proceedings are ongoing, including motions regarding the admissibility of expert testimony. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against us and will defend ourselves in these proceedings. We have recorded accrued liabilities of $3,600 related to this matter.
