Farmer Brothers' fiscal 2024 results show a mixed financial picture. The company's focus on its more profitable DSD business has yielded positive results, with gross margin increasing by
However, challenges remain. Net sales only increased marginally by
While the company's restructuring efforts are showing promise, investors should closely monitor future quarters for sustained revenue growth and consistent profitability to ensure the turnaround is successful.
Farmer Brothers' strategic pivot to focus on its Direct Store Delivery (DSD) business is a calculated move in a competitive market. This shift aligns with evolving consumer preferences and distribution trends in the coffee industry. The SKU rationalization and brand pyramid efforts indicate a streamlining of product offerings, which could lead to better inventory management and potentially higher margins.

Investors should watch for signs of increased market penetration and customer acquisition in upcoming quarters to gauge the effectiveness of the company's new strategy.
Farmer Brothers' technology upgrades represent a strategic investment in operational efficiency. The focus on enhancing customer service, pricing approach and inventory management capabilities through improved infrastructure is a positive step towards modernizing operations in a traditionally low-tech industry.
These technological improvements could lead to:
- More accurate demand forecasting and reduced waste
- Improved customer satisfaction through better service and order fulfillment
- Optimized pricing strategies to maximize profitability
- Enhanced data analytics for informed decision-making
However, the real test will be in the execution and adoption of these technologies. The company will need to ensure proper integration and staff training to fully leverage these upgrades. Future reports should be monitored for quantifiable improvements in operational metrics and customer retention rates as indicators of successful technology implementation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to net loss determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating performance:
“EBITDA” is defined as loss from continuing operations excluding the impact of:
- income tax expense (benefit);
- interest expense; and
- depreciation and amortization expense.
“EBITDA Margin” is defined as EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as loss from continuing operations excluding the impact of:
- income tax expense (benefit);
- interest expense;
- depreciation and amortization expense;
- 401(k) and share-based compensation expense;
- net gains from sales of assets;
- severance costs;
- loss related to sale of business; and
- gain on settlement with Boyd's sellers.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of net sales.
For purposes of calculating EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, we have excluded the impact of interest expense resulting from non-cash pretax pension and postretirement benefits. For purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, we are also excluding the impact of severance and the loss related to sale of business as these items are not reflective of our ongoing operating results.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful measure of the Company’s operating results, a meaningful comparison with historical results and with the results of other companies, and insight into the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Further, management utilizes these measures, in addition to GAAP measures, when evaluating and comparing the Company’s operating performance against internal financial forecasts and budgets.
We believe that EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present EBITDA and EBITDA Margin because (i) we believe that these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, (ii) we believe that investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) we use these measures internally as benchmarks to compare our performance to that of our competitors.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We do not intend for non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. This calculation is for continuing operations only.
