Company Guidance
During the Farmer Brothers Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company reported a positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million for the third consecutive quarter, maintaining gross margins above 42%. Despite a challenging market with declining coffee volumes down 9.4% year-over-year and net sales decreasing to $82.1 million from $85.4 million, the company improved its cost structure by reducing selling and general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses increased to $38.1 million, primarily due to a $5.3 million decrease in net gains from asset disposals. Farmer Brothers recorded a net loss of $5 million, which included a $2.4 million net loss from asset disposals compared to a $2.9 million gain in the prior year. The company maintained a strong cash position with $4.1 million in unrestricted cash and $23.3 million in outstanding credit facility borrowings, while achieving positive cash flow from operating activities of $1.3 million, marking their third consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow.
