Lawrence J. Blanford, President and CEO, said, “We are off to a very strong start for fiscal year 2009 with our first quarter results.

Equally important, we anticipate it will drive continued strong sales of K-Cups to support a growing installed base of brewers in consumers’ homes.”

Blanford continued, “Even in a difficult consumer economy, GMCR is driving significant top and bottom line growth with innovative products that have tremendous consumer appeal and are positioned at the intersection of quality and value. Our success is driven by the winning combination of our outstanding coffees and the Keurig Single-Cup Brewing System.”

Blanford concluded, “Looking forward, we are committed to continuing to represent the best of business in terms of our growth and profitability and our ability to make a positive difference in the world. We appreciate and sincerely thank the enthusiastic consumers, as well as our employees and business partners and all our other stakeholders, who make these accomplishments possible.”
