Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR)

Because our Company has only one roasting facility, a significant interruption in the operation of this facility could potentially disrupt our operations.

We have only one coffee roasting facility. A significant interruption in the operation of this facility, whether as a result of a natural disaster or other causes, could significantly impair our ability to operate our business on a day-to-day basis. Similarly, any disruption in our new distribution facility adjacent to our roasting facility in Vermont could significantly impair our ability to operate our business. In addition, because our coffee roasting and primary distribution facility is located in Vermont, our ability to ship coffee and receive shipments or raw materials could be adversely affected during winter months as a result of severe winter conditions and storms.

Similarly, any disruption in our new distribution facility adjacent to our roasting facility in Vermont could significantly impair our ability to operate our business. This new distribution center continues to undergo hardware and software changes and refinements in order to run more efficiently, and there is a risk that the distribution center may not consistently operate at optimal performance levels throughout the year.
