NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except unit/share and per unit/share amounts)
(unaudited)
1.Organization and Nature of Business
BRC Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation ("BRC Inc."), previously entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2022 (the "First Amendment" and the Business Combination Agreement as so amended, the "Business Combination Agreement"), each by and among BRC Inc., SilverBox Engaged Merger Corp I, a Delaware corporation ("SilverBox"), Authentic Brands LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Authentic Brands"), and certain other parties thereto. On February 9, 2022, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, a series of transactions (the "Business Combination") were completed for an estimated value of $1,839,815 as a result of which Authentic Brands became a subsidiary of BRC Inc., with BRC Inc. acting as sole managing member thereof as a public benefit corporation.
BRC Inc. conducts substantially all of its business through its solely managed subsidiary, Authentic Brands, and Authentic Brands' subsidiaries, all of which are consolidated in these financial statements. Authentic Brands, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, purchases, roasts, and sells high quality coffee, coffee accessories, and branded apparel through its online channels and business networks. Authentic Brands also develops and promotes online content for the purpose of growing its brands, which include Black Rifle Coffee Company ("BRCC").
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization transaction between entities under common control, whereas Authentic Brands was considered the accounting acquirer and predecessor entity. The Business Combination was reflected as the equivalent of Authentic Brands issuing stock for the net assets of SilverBox, accompanied by a recapitalization with no incremental goodwill or intangible assets recognized.
Authentic Brands was determined to be the predecessor entity to the Business Combination based on a number of considerations, including:
•Authentic Brands former management making up the majority of the management team of BRC Inc.;
•Authentic Brands former management nominating or representing the majority of BRC Inc.'s board of directors;
•Authentic Brands representing the majority of the continuing operations of BRC Inc.; and
•The chief executive officer of Authentic Brands having voting control of the combined company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include but are not limited to estimated losses on accounts receivable, inventory reserves, undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of assets or asset groups for the purpose of assessing impairment of long-lived assets, liabilities for contingencies, equity-based compensation, estimates for sales returns and related allowance, loyalty rewards, deferred revenue, and measurement and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ materially from those
9
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC 606"). Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products. Revenue also excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales and indirect taxes. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps:
1.Identification of the contract with a customer;
2.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.Recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
Sources and Timing of Revenue
The Company's revenue is derived from product sales through its e-commerce websites and to wholesale customers who sell the products to end users. In addition, the Company derives revenues from Company-operated store locations, and franchise and license agreements. Revenues from the sale of products and merchandise are recognized when control of the product passes to the customer, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the customer and in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods. As such, customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products. As the Company ships high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for the Company to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, the Company uses estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognizes revenue at the end of the period. Delivery date estimates are based on average transit times calculated based on factors such as the type of carrier, the fulfillment source, the delivery destination and historical transit time experience. Actual shipping times may differ from the Company's estimates. Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer are expensed as incurred and are generally not significant.
Revenues from Company-operated stores are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale as the performance obligation has been satisfied. Store revenues are reported excluding sales, use or other transaction taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed to or received from customers prior to delivery of products. The Company recognizes such amounts in revenues as the product is delivered.
Gift Cards
Gift cards are offered through the Company's e-commerce websites through the form of an e-certificate. When a gift card is purchased, the Company recognizes a corresponding liability for the full amount of the gift card, which is recorded in "Deferred revenue and gift card liability" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Gift cards can be redeemed online and on the Company's website. When a gift card is redeemed, the Company reduces the corresponding liability and recognizes revenue. There are no expiration dates to the gift cards. While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, the Company may determine the likelihood of redemption, based on historical experience, is deemed to be remote for certain cards due to long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances if the Company also determines there is no requirement for remitting balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, unredeemed card balances may then be recognized as breakage income, which is included in "Revenue, net" on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Loyalty Rewards Program
10
In August 2020, BRCC established its BRCC Loyalty Points rewards program (the “Loyalty Program”), which is primarily a spend-based program. BRCC customers who establish an online account are enrolled in the Loyalty Program. Under the program, there are two levels in which customers can participate. Subscription customers (customers in the BRCC Coffee Club or subscribed to another subscription product type) are considered to be in the highest tier and earn 3 % on purchases. Non-subscription customers earn 1 % on purchases. In addition to earning points on purchases, customers can earn points through certain other activities. BRCC reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify, change, add, or remove activities which can be accomplished to earn points at any time. Under the Loyalty Program, customers may redeem rewards as they reach minimum thresholds per reward. The Company reserves the right to modify, change, add, or remove rewards and their points thresholds at any time. BRCC loyalty points will expire if there is no account activity (i.e., if there is no new purchase made or order placed) in a period of twelve months. Conversion of rewards are non-changeable after redemption, have no cash value, and are nontransferable. A portion of rewards are expected to expire and not be redeemed and will be recognized as income over time. Based on historical expiration rates, the Company estimates a certain percentage of rewards to expire and reassesses this estimate on a quarterly basis.
The Company defers revenue associated with the points earned through purchases that are expected to be redeemed, net of estimated unredeemed loyalty points. When a customer redeems an earned reward, the Company recognizes revenue for the redeemed product and reduces the related deferred revenue liability. The deferred revenue liability is included in "Deferred revenue and gift card liability" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
For those points that are earned through other activities, the Company recognizes the redemption of these points as a discount to the transaction price at time of sale. Refer to Note 5, Deferred Revenue and Gift Card Liability for information about changes in the current portion of deferred revenue and gift card liability for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Franchise Store Revenues
Franchise rights may be granted through franchise agreements that set out the terms of the arrangement with the franchisee. The franchise agreements require that the franchisee remit continuing fees to the Company as a percentage of the applicable store’s revenues in exchange for the license of the intellectual property associated with BRCC’s brands. A portion of these fees are used for national marketing campaigns. Continuing fees represent a portion of the consideration the Company receives under the franchise agreement. Continuing fees are typically billed and paid monthly. Continuing fees are recognized as the related store sales occur. Revenues from continuing fees are included in "Revenue, net" on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Under the franchise agreements, BRCC sells products and equipment to its franchisees. The revenue associated with these product and equipment sales are recognized when control passes to the franchisee, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the franchisee and in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods.
The franchise agreements also typically require upfront franchise fees such as initial fees paid for the execution of a franchise agreement. The fees associated with these agreements are typically billed and paid when a new franchise agreement becomes effective. The Company has determined that the services it provides in exchange for upfront franchise fees, which primarily relate to pre-opening support, are highly interrelated with the franchise right and are not individually distinct from the ongoing services provided to the Company’s franchisees. As a result, upfront franchise fees are recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement, generally ten years . Revenues for these upfront franchise fees are recognized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the franchisee’s right to use and benefit from the intellectual property associated with BRCC's brands. The current portion of revenues from upfront franchise fees are included in "Deferred revenue and gift card liability" and the long-term portion of revenues from upfront franchisee fees are included in "Other non-current liabilities" on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
License Revenues
License rights may be granted through license agreements that set out the terms of the Company’s arrangement with the licensee. The Company’s license agreements require that the licensee remit continuing fees to the Company as a percentage of the applicable store’s revenues in exchange for the license of the intellectual property associated with BRCC’s brands. In addition, licensed store revenues consist of product sales to the licensee. The revenue associated with these product sales are recognized when control of the product passes to the licensee, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the licensee and in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods. Continuing fees are recognized as the related store sales occur.
11
The Company’s license agreements also typically require upfront license fees such as initial fees paid for the execution of a license agreement. The fees associated with these agreements are typically billed and paid when a new license agreement becomes effective. The Company has determined the services it provides in exchange for upfront license fees, which primarily relate to initial license set up and are not individually distinct from the ongoing services it provides to its licensees. As a result, upfront license fees are recognized as revenue over the term of each respective license agreement, generally ten years . Revenues for these upfront license fees are recognized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the licensee’s right to use and benefit from the intellectual property. Revenues from continuing fees and upfront license fees are presented within “Revenue, net” on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue by sales channel. The Wholesale channel includes product revenue sold to an intermediary and not directly to the consumer. The Direct to Consumer channel is principally comprised of revenue from our e-commerce websites and subscription services directly to the consumer. The Outpost channel includes revenue from Company-operated stores, gift cards, franchise store and licensing.
The following table disaggregates revenue by sales channel:

Substantially all revenue is derived from customers located in the United States. One wholesale customer and its affiliate represented 24 % of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023. No single customer represented more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Sales Returns and Discounts
The Company’s product sales contracts include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price for items such as discounts, credits, charge backs, or sales returns. Accordingly, the transaction price for product sales includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur.
The Company inspects returned items when they arrive at its processing facilities. The Company refunds the full cost of the merchandise returned if the returned item is defective or the Company or its partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a fulfillment error and the customer initiates a return of an unopened item within 30 days of delivery, for most products the Company refunds the full cost of the merchandise less the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees. If the customer returns an item that has been opened or shows signs of wear, the Company issues a partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees. Coffee products are not eligible for returns. Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns. The Company records an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. The Company analyzes actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of its products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period. The allowance for sales returns and charge backs was $923 and $942 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and included in "Accounts receivable, net" on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and handling is considered a fulfillment activity, as it takes place prior to the customer obtaining control of the merchandise, and fees charged to customers are included in net revenue upon completion of the performance obligation.
Segment Information
The Company reports operations as a single reportable segment and manages the business as a single-brand consumer products business. This is supported by the operational structure, which includes sales, product design, operations, marketing, and administrative functions focused on the entire product suite rather than individual product categories or
12
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes product costs, labor costs, occupancy costs, outbound shipping costs, handling and fulfillment costs, credit card fees, and royalty fees, and is recorded in the period incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents also include proceeds due from credit card transactions with settlement terms of less than five days . The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and it believes credit risk to be minimal.
Inventories, Net
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates First In, First Out ("FIFO"), or net realizable value. The Company records inventory reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory. Inventory reserves are based on inventory obsolescence trends, historical experience and application of the specific identification method. Finished goods includes allocations of labor, occupancy expenses, and inbound transportation costs.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost with depreciation calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the term of the related finance lease, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the related leases or estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future undiscounted pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the related asset, an impairment is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over its fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no
Leases
The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancelable finance and operating leases which expire at various dates through 2026. The Company’s operating leases relate to roasting facilities in Tennessee and Outposts.
At the inception of each lease, the Company determines the appropriate classification for each lease as operating or finance. The Company has estimated that the lease term for Outposts is generally 10 to 15 years. Any initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the lease.
Earn-out Liability
The earn-out shares that were payable in Common Units (as defined below) of Authentic Brands pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement were recorded as a liability under ASC 480 and the earn-out shares that were payable in BRC Inc. common stock pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement were recorded as a liability under ASC 815. The earn-out liability was initially measured at fair value at the closing of the Business Combination using a Monte Carlo simulation in an option pricing framework that simulated the future path of the Company's stock price over the earn-out period. The earn-out shares vested in March and April 2022. The Company recognized the earn-out shares as liabilities at fair value and adjusted the earn-out shares to fair value at each reporting period. The earn-out liabilities were subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until vesting, and any change in fair value was recognized on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations. The liabilities were settled prior to December 31, 2022 and therefore not recurring as of March 31, 2023.
Warrant Liability
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company had public and private warrants, both of which did not meet the criteria for equity classification and were accounted for as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company recognized the warrants as liabilities at fair value and adjusted the warrants to fair value at each reporting period with any changes in fair value recognized on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations. The public and private warrants were redeemed in May 2022. The liabilities were settled prior to December 31, 2022 and therefore not recurring as of March 31, 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company records interest and penalty expense related to income taxes as interest and other expense, respectively.
14
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s assets that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Cash balances are maintained in financial institutions which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions in which it accounts are maintained and has not experience any losses in such accounts. The accounts receivable of the Company are spread over a number of customers, of which three customers accounted for 57 % of total outstanding receivables as of March 31, 2023 and three customers accounted for 51 % of total outstanding receivables as of December 31, 2022. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations as to the financial condition of its customers and creditors with respect to trade accounts.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of variable rate long-term debt is based upon the current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, which approximated its carrying value, as interest is based upon the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") or Prime rates plus an applicable floating margin. In measuring fair value, the Company reflects the impact of credit risk on liabilities, as well as any collateral. The Company also considers the credit standing of counterparties in measuring the fair value of assets.
15
The Company uses any of three valuation techniques to measure fair value: the market approach, the income approach, and the cost approach in determining the appropriate valuation technique based on the nature of the asset or liability being measured and the reliability of the inputs used in arriving at fair value.
The Company follows the provisions of ASU No. 2022-03- Fair Value Measurement ("Topic 820") for non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis.
The inputs used in applying valuation techniques include assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (i.e., assumptions about risk). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. The Company uses observable inputs in the Company’s valuation techniques and classifies those inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established by applicable accounting guidance, which prioritizes those inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company has no components of comprehensive income and comprehensive income (loss) is equivalent to net income (loss) in each of the periods presented. As such, no separate statement of comprehensive income (loss) is presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted new guidance from the FASB, ASU No. 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("Topic 326"), that introduces a new credit loss methodology for estimating allowances for credit losses. The standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held by the Company be recognized immediately over the remaining life of the financial assets. The estimate of expected losses is based on information about past and current economic conditions and reasonable forecasts of future economic conditions that affect financial assets deemed uncollectible. There was no material impact to the Company's financial statements as a result of this adoption.

Senior Credit Facility
In November 2022, Authentic Brands and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new credit agreement with Regions Bank, which provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $65,000 , subject to a borrowing base determined from eligible accounts receivable and inventory (the "Senior Credit Facility"). In connection with the entry into the Senior Credit Facility, Authentic Brands and certain of its subsidiaries each granted a security interest in and liens upon substantially all of their assets in favor of the lender to secure obligations under the Senior Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2023, Authentic Brands has available credit under the Senior Credit Facility of $12,309 . The Senior Credit Facility bears a variable interest rate based on the BSBY plus an applicable margin of either (i) 2.25 % if excess borrowing availability is less than or equal to fifty percent of borrowing base, or (ii) 2.00 % if excess borrowing availability is greater than fifty percent of borrowing base and matures in November 2027.
19
The Senior Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on Authentic Brands’ and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, and enter into affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring Authentic Brands to maintain (i) minimum liquidity (as defined in the credit agreement) of at least $15,000 , and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1 .00 to 1.00, measured on a trailing 12-month basis beginning in March 2024 and for each month thereafter. At March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. The Senior Credit Facility also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, among other things, all outstanding amounts under the Senior Credit Facility may be accelerated and the lender may terminate its commitments thereunder.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company capitalizes fees associated with the origination of its credit facilities which are presented on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related loans. The debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method. Amortization of the debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $33 and $243 , respectively, and are included in interest expense on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Mortgages

8.Stockholders’ Equity
In conjunction with the Business Combination, 18,769 class A common units and 73,890 class B common units of Authentic Brands (the holders thereof, the "Existing Members") were converted into an aggregate of 139,106,323 common units in Authentic Brands (the “Common Units”) and 19,853,125 restricted common units in Authentic Brands (the “Restricted Common Units”). The Existing Members also received 139,106,323 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company.
Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company's authorized capital stock consists of 2,802,500,000 shares including (i) 2,500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) 300,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, (iii) 1,500,000 shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class C Common Stock"), and (iv) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). The Class C Common Stock is divided into two series as follows: (a) 750,000 shares of Series C-1 Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and (b) 750,000 shares of Series C-2 Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Holders of the Company's Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are each entitled to one vote per share, and holders of the Class C Common Stock do not have any voting rights. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions as may from time to time be declared by the our board of directors at its discretion out of legally available Company assets, ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such holder, and at such times and in such amounts as the board of directors in its discretion may determine. No dividends or other distributions will be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock or the Class C Common Stock.
A holder of Class B Common Stock may transfer or assign shares of Class B Common Stock only if such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder’s Common Units in compliance with and as permitted by the LLC Agreement.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment of debts and other liabilities and after the rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, have been satisfied, the holders of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder.
The board of directors of the Company may establish one or more classes or series of preferred stock. Our board of directors may determine, with respect to any class or series of preferred stock, the terms and rights of such class or series. The Company currently does not have any preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Units are entitled to share in the profits and losses of Authentic Brands and to receive distributions declared and have no voting rights. Holders of Common Units receive one share of Class B Common Stock, which are voting, non-economic shares in the Company, for each Common Unit they own. From and after a lock-up period and subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Common Unit holders have the option to redeem all or any portion of their Common Units. However, upon redemption, the Company's board of directors determines whether the Common Units are redeemed in cash or Class A Common Stock.
Common Units that are redeemed for shares, are exchanged for a number of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of exchanged Common Units. Simultaneously, a number of Class B Common Stock held by the unitholder is surrendered equal to the number of Common Units being redeemed. For Common Units redeemed for cash, cash redemption may only be effected if a concurrent fundraising activity takes place by the Company.

9.Equity-Based Compensation
Incentive Units
Authentic Brands' maintained an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) under which it could grant incentive units (“Incentive Units”) to employees or non-employee directors. In connection with the Plan, 200,000 non-voting units have been authorized. These units may contain certain service and performance related vesting provisions. The Incentive Units are awarded to eligible employees and non-employee directors and entitle the grantee to receive non-voting member units upon vesting, subject solely to the employee’s continuing employment or the non-employee director’s continuing service on the board of directors.
The grant date estimated fair value of the Incentive Units was based upon an option pricing model valuation of the awards at the grant date. The Company did not change pricing models during the year, however, began to incorporate and consider the probability-weighted expected return method. The Incentive Units have no strike price; however, participation thresholds, as defined in the Plan were established at grant date that must be exceeded for the holder of the unit to participate in any distributions of the Company. The following assumptions were utilized in determining the fair value of the units at the grant date:
| Expected dividend | |||||
| Expected volatility | |||||
| Risk-free interest rate | |||||
| Expected life of incentive awards (in years) | |||||
| Grant date performance and market threshold | $ | ||||
The computation of expected volatility is based on a weighted average of comparable public companies within theCompany’s industry. Expected life is based on the estimated liquidity event timing. The risk-free interest rate is based on
the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities of comparable terms. The Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes pre-vesting forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate the forfeiture rate at the grant date.
The following table summarizes the changes in the number of Incentive Units for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
| Incentive Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||||||||||
| Granted and outstanding at January 1, 2023 | $ | ||||||||||
| Granted | |||||||||||
| Forfeited | |||||||||||
| Granted and outstanding at March 31, 2023 | $ | ||||||||||
| Vested at March 31, 2023 | $ | ||||||||||
As of March 31, 2023, total unrecognized equity compensation expense related to nonvested Incentive Units to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years was $2,048 .
In connection with the Business Combination, 28,990 Incentive Units under the Plan fully vested and converted into Common Units in Authentic Brands that allow for their exchange into Class A Common Stock of the Company. The Company recognized $1,856 of compensation costs as a result of the accelerated vesting of incentive units under the "Change in Control" provision of the Plan. The Company accounted for the accelerated vesting of the Incentive Units as a modification. However, because the fair value of the modified awards was the same immediately before and after the modification, no incremental compensation expense was recognized.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan"), which replaced the Plan, and the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP").
22
Stock Options
The Company granted stock options to employees under the Omnibus Plan that vest ratably over three years and expire after seven years . The grant date estimated fair value of the stock options was based upon a Black Scholes model valuation of the options at the grant date. The following weighted average assumptions were utilized in determining the fair value of options granted:
| Weighted average grant date fair value | $ | ||||
| Expected dividend | |||||
| Expected volatility | |||||
| Risk-free interest rate | |||||
| Options term (in years) | |||||
The computation of expected volatility is based on a weighted average of comparable public companies within the Company’s industry. Expected term assumption is based on the mid-point between vesting and maturity of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities of comparable terms. The Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company recognizes pre-vesting forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate the forfeiture rate at the grant date.
The following table summarizes information about stock options activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

As of March 31, 2023, total unrecognized equity compensation expense related to stock options to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years was $3,337 .
Restricted Stock Units
The Company granted restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards to employees and non-employee directors under the Omnibus Plan that vest annually over approximately three years . The grant date fair values were based on the closing price of the Class A Common Stock of the Company on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes information about the RSUs under the Omnibus Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
| Restricted Stock Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | ||||||||||

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
23
On December 29, 2022, the Company granted 8,462,412 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to a key employee which vest if certain market capital growth rates are achieved each year through April 2027. Vested PSUs are settled in shares of the Company Class A common stock equal to the number of PSUs granted. The PSUs are forfeited upon termination of employment before the performance period ends. PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022 have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $0.46 per share. All PSUs were unvested as of March 31, 2023. The Company used the Monte Carlo pricing model to estimate the fair value of PSUs utilizing the following assumptions at the grant date:
| Expected dividend | |||||
| Expected volatility | |||||
| Risk-free interest rate | |||||
| Award term years | |||||
| Valuation date share price | $ | ||||
As of March 31, 2023, total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to PSUs to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately four years was $2,970 .
In September 2022, the Company began offering an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") whereby eligible employees may acquire an equity interest in the Company through payroll contributions. At the end of a six-month offering period, shares are purchased at 85 % of the stock price at enrollment date or purchase date, whichever is lower.
On March 8, 2023, the Company issued 59,521 shares for a total of $359 under the September 9, 2022 ESPP period, which covered the period between September 9, 2022 and March 8, 2023. Under the March 9, 2023 ESPP period, which covers a period through September 8, 2023, the Company expects to issue 95,309 shares based on the Company's stock price of $6.00 on March 9, 2023.

11.Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss of Authentic Brands, as well as any stand-alone income or loss the Company generates. Authentic Brands is treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes and for most applicable state and local income tax purposes and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, Authentic Brands' taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including us.
Our effective tax rate in 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance and non-controlling interest.

12.Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of Class A common shares outstanding without the consideration for potential dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share represents basic net loss per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding unvested share awards, warrants, Common Units and Restricted Common Units that are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to Class A common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method and if-converted method, as applicable. Shares of Class B Common Stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted loss per share of Class B Common Stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are presented below:

13.Concentrations
The Company has significant suppliers and service providers that are important to its sourcing, roasting, manufacturing, and any related ongoing servicing of merchandise and content. The Company does not have any long-term arrangements with these vendors or its other suppliers and service providers to guarantee availability of inventory, content, or services. The loss of these vendors, the numbers and concentrations of which are set for in the table below, could have an adverse impact on the operations of the Company until a suitable replacement could be engaged.

14.Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Agreements
The Company has entered into manufacturing and purchase agreements to purchase coffee product from third-party suppliers. The minimum purchase amounts are based on quantity and, in the aggregate, will be approximately $33,430 for the remainder of 2023 and $26,480 for 2024.
In September 2021, the Company entered into a manufacturing and purchase agreement to purchase canned beverage product from a third-party supplier. The initial term ends on December 31, 2023, and automatically renews for consecutive year periods, unless either party provides notice of cancellation at least 120 days prior to the end of the current term. The minimum purchase amount carries a minimum surcharge of approximately $1,690 for the remainder of 2023; $19,920 for 2024; and $22,410 for 2025.
In November 2021, the Company entered into a manufacturing and purchase agreement to purchase coffee product from a third-party supplier. The term remains in effect until December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase amount is based on quantity and will be approximately $8,800 on an annual basis.
Contingencies
The Company is 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, the Company accrues reserves when it is probable 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, the Company does not believe any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
The Company could be subject to additional sales tax or other tax liabilities. The Company follows the guidelines of ASC 450, Accounting for Contingencies, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the current impact of such legislation through the Company’s best estimates. However, any of these events could have a material effect on the Company’s business and operating results depending on the previous periods of applied enforcement by certain jurisdictions.
The Company is also subject to U.S. (federal and state) laws, regulations, and administrative practices that require us to collect information from its 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 the Company’s business and operating results. The

Legal Disputes
On April 28, 2022, Tang Capital Partners, LP (“Tang Capital”) filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York against the Company, Tang Capital Partners, LP v. BRC Inc., Case 22-CV-3476 (RWL) (Southern District of New York). The complaint alleges that the Tang Capital suffered damages arising from the Company’s refusal on two occasions to permit Tang Capital to exercise warrants. On March 8, 2023, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss a claim for declaratory judgment but denied the Company’s motion to dismiss a breach of contract claim. The lawsuit seeks unspecified general and compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees, and other reasonable costs and disbursements. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claim asserted against it and will defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts. The Company is not able at this time to determine or predict the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter.
On February 3, 2023, Strategy and Execution, Inc. ("SEI") filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Texas against one of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Strategy and Execution, Inc, v. Black Rifle Coffee Company LLC, Case 23-CV-00135 (FB) (Western District of Texas). The complaint alleges that SEI, a former consultant to the Company, is owed certain disputed royalties and expense reimbursements from the Company. On April 4, 2023, the Company filed a partial motion to dismiss several of the claims which is currently pending. The Company maintains all royalties expire upon expiration of the parties’ contract on December 31, 2023, and prior to such expiration, only SKUs manufactured at co-manufacturers SEI introduced the Company to, are subject to such royalty. Through March 31, 2023, the Company has expensed all royalties for co-manufacturers which SEI introduced, and all agreed upon expense reimbursements. Disputed expense reimbursements are immaterial to the Company’s operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the annual audited consolidated financial statements, notes, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K") . In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “BRCC,” “Black Rifle Coffee,” “Black Rifle Coffee Company,” and the “Company” mean BRC Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, unless the context requires otherwise.
Overview
Black Rifle Coffee Company is a rapidly growing, veteran-controlled and led coffee and media company with a loyal and quickly expanding community of more than 2.3 million consumers through our Direct To Consumer ("DTC") channel since inception, more than 255,000 active Coffee Club subscribers, and 13.3 million social media followers across BRCC's, our co-founders', and our key media personalities' accounts as of March 31, 2023. At BRCC, we develop our roast profiles with the same mission focus we learned as military members serving our country. We produce creative and engaging cause-related media content, self-produced podcasts, and digital and print journalism in-house to inform, inspire, entertain, and build our community. We also sell BRCC-brand apparel, coffee brewing equipment, and outdoor and lifestyle gear that our consumers proudly wear and use to showcase our brand. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to supporting active duty military, veterans, first responders, and those who love America.
We utilize a three-pronged approach to craft a unique brand that resonates with our customer base and enhances brand loyalty: Inform, Inspire, and Entertain. We want our audience to love coffee as much as we do, so we strive to inform them on all the awesome facets of coffee. Every day we work to inspire our customers; we take pride in the coffee we roast, the veterans we employ and the causes we support. We give back to the community and are committed to support those who serve. Our "Entertain" marketing strategy drives brand excitement, along with valuable customer insights and data.
We own two roasting facilities, one focused on large batch roasting and the other on small batch roasting. Our coffee beans are primarily roasted in-house and 100% in the United States to ensure consistency and quality of product. Our coffee beans are sourced only from the highest quality suppliers. Our state-of-the-art equipment guarantees freshness and offers significant capacity for expansion.
We are a digitally native brand with an established omnichannel business model, reaching our customers through one reportable segment that is comprised of three channels: Direct to Consumer, Wholesale, and Outposts. Our DTC channel includes our e-commerce business, through which consumers order our products online and products are shipped to them. Our Wholesale channel includes product sold to an intermediary such as grocery stores, who in turn sell those products to consumers, including the Food, Drug and Mass ("FDM") customer set, such as Walmart, specialty retail, such as Bass Pro, and convenience stores which primarily sell our Ready-to-Drink ("RTD") products, such as 7-Eleven. Our Outpost channel includes revenue from our Company-operated and franchised BRCC retail coffee shop locations.
We continue to experience strong revenue growth. Revenue increased to $83.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $65.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing growth of 27%. This growth was primarily driven by our entry into the FDM market for bagged coffee and rounds products, and increases in RTD product sales, both of which are included in the Wholesale channel.
The Business Combination
In February 2022, we completed the Business Combination and as a result of the consummation of a series of mergers in connection therewith, Authentic Brands became a subsidiary of BRC Inc., with BRC Inc. acting as sole managing member thereof as a public benefit corporation. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and a recapitalization of Authentic Brands. Accordingly, the Business Combination was reflected as the equivalent of Authentic Brands issuing stock for the net assets of SilverBox, accompanied by a recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, SilverBox is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of SilverBox are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. This accounting treatment was determined by the individual controlling Authentic Brands prior to the Business Combination, who also controls the combined company post Business Combination.
Trends
28
Certain trends affecting our business within the respective sales channels are as follows:
•Wholesale channel revenue has increased as we have added new customers and entered the FDM market. We expect to see increased revenue within this channel as we increase investment to obtain new customers and expand in the FDM market.
•DTC revenue growth has slightly declined as a result of our decision to redirect investments to other growing areas of the business as we continue to experience elevated DTC customer acquisition costs.
•Outpost channel revenue has increased as we continue to open additional stores during 2023. Revenue within this channel will increase as we and our franchise partners continue to open additional stores.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our Ability to Increase Brand Awareness
Our ability to promote and maintain brand awareness and loyalty is critical to our success. We believe we have created a highly efficient marketing strategy that provides us with the ability to increase brand awareness and drive consumer interaction. Consumer appreciation of our brands is primarily reflected in the general increase in sales across our three channels over the last few years. We expect to continue to develop and implement forward-looking brand strategies that leverage social media and employ targeted digital advertising to expand the reach of our brand.
Our Ability to Grow Our Customer Base in Our Outposts and Wholesale Channels
We are currently growing our customer base through our Outposts and Wholesale channels. We continue to grow our retail footprint through Company-owned and franchised Outposts. Our products are also sold through a growing number of physical retail channels. Wholesale customers include large national retailers, regional retailers, distributors, and dealers.
Our Ability to Acquire and Retain Customers at a Reasonable Cost
We believe our ability to consistently acquire and retain customers at a reasonable cost will be a key factor affecting our future performance. While we have a strong presence in major markets, we still have the opportunity to grow brand awareness, with 28% estimated aided awareness in any region of the country. To accomplish this goal, we intend to grow our brand awareness through various avenues such as national television and radio advertising, and through select sponsorship and partnership opportunities. In addition, we will strive to strengthen our social media footprint across various platforms such as Facebook, Google, and YouTube. Our digital capabilities provide a distinct advantage and enable us to form direct relationships with our customers and capture valuable customer data and insights. We utilize digital marketing tools to optimize our marketing initiatives and drive our brand reach.
Our Ability to Drive Repeat Usage of Our Products
We gain substantial economic value from repeat users of our products who consistently repurchase our products. The pace of our growth rate will be affected by the repeat usage dynamics of existing and newly acquired customers.
Our Ability to Expand Our Product Line
Our goal is to continue to expand our product line over time to increase our growth opportunity and reduce product-specific risks through diversification into multiple products each designed around daily use. Our pace of growth will be partially affected by the cadence and magnitude of new product launches over time. As an example, we launched RTD coffee products in March 2020 with two 11-ounce SKUs. We have since added another 11-ounce SKU and three high-caffeine, boldly-flavored 15-ounce SKUs. Four of these SKUs have grown to become top-30 products in the RTD coffee category on a dollar to percent average cost value basis and can be found in more than 63,000 locations across the country. Moving forward, we believe that it is important to our business that we continue innovating with new products and flavors and continue to explore the world to find the highest quality coffee beans possible to deliver to our customers.
Our Ability to Manage Our Supply Chain
29
Our ability to grow and meet future demand will be affected by our ability to properly plan for and source inventory from a variety of suppliers located inside and outside the United States. The majority of our green coffee beans come from Colombia, Nicaragua, and Brazil, and since 2020, we have also sourced green coffee beans from over ten countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia to diversify our supply chain and offer our customers specialty and limited-time-only roasts. Quality control is also a critically important part of our manufacturing and supply chain operations. 68% of our bagged roasted coffee is roasted in-house and 100% is roasted in the United States. Our licensed, Coffee Quality Institute-certified grader and former Green Beret, leads cupping, grading, scoring, and sourcing of our coffees.

30
Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $17.7 million, or 27%, to $83.5 million as compared to $65.8 million for the corresponding period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to our entry into the FDM market for bagged coffee and rounds products, and increases in RTD product sales, both of which are included in the Wholesale channel.

Net revenue for our Wholesale channel for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $18.0 million, or 82%, to $40.0 million as compared to $22.0 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The largest increase came from the entry into FDM Wholesale channel. In addition, RTD product sales increased through national distributors and retail accounts from 47,000 doors as of March 31, 2022 to 63,000 doors as of March 31, 2023.
Net revenue for our DTC channel for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $1.6 million, or 4%, to $36.8 million as compared to $38.3 million for the corresponding period in 2022, primarily due to decreased marketing spend and the decision to redirect investments to other growing areas of the business as we continue to experience elevated DTC customer acquisition costs.
Net revenue for our Outpost channel for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased $1.2 million, or 21%, to $6.7 million as compared to $5.5 million for the corresponding period in 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in the number of company-owned Outposts which increased to a total of sixteen Outposts as of March 31, 2023 as compared to a total of nine Outposts as of March 31, 2022.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes raw material costs, labor costs directly related to producing our products including wages and benefits, shipping costs, and other overhead costs related to certain aspects of production, warehousing, fulfillment expense, shipping, and credit card fees.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $13.4 million, or 31%, to $56.0 million as compared to $42.6 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was driven primarily by higher sales. In addition, product costs increased due to the increased price of raw coffee beans and RTD raw materials from adding capacity to new co-manufacturing locations leading to higher volumes of transportation and carrying cost. Product mix shift also impacted margins, as RTD has higher product costs and lower gross margins as compared to bagged coffee. Gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 33.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 35.3% for the corresponding period in 2022.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of marketing and advertising expenses related to brand marketing campaigns through various online platforms, including email, digital, website, social media, search engine optimization, as well as performance marketing efforts including retargeting, paid search and product advertisements, as well as social media advertisements and sponsorships. Operating expenses also consist of salaries, wages, and benefits of payroll and payroll related expenses for labor not directly related to producing our products. Payroll expenses include both fixed and variable compensation. Variable compensation includes bonuses and equity-based compensation. General and administration costs include other professional fees and services, and general corporate infrastructure expenses, including utilities and depreciation and amortization.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $5.7 million, or 15%, to $44.7 million as compared to $39.1 million for the corresponding period in 2022.
The following table summarizes operating expenses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

Marketing and advertising expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 12%, to $7.1 million as compared to $8.2 million for the corresponding period in 2022. This decrease was due to strategic reductions in lower returning advertising platforms, partially offset by increased costs incurred in connection with the expansion of existing partnerships. In addition, marketing and advertising spend has been impacted by channel mix with revenue growth primarily coming from the Wholesale channel, which requires lower marketing spend than DTC.
Salaries, wages and benefits expenses increased by $3.8 million, or 24%, to $19.8 million as compared to $16.0 million for the corresponding period in 2022. This increase was due to an increase in employee headcount to support our significant sales growth and investment in new stores opened and existing channels as we continue to build out additional revenue streams and expand product lines, as well as, $0.7 million in severance related to some reductions in headcount across the company.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 19%, to $17.8 million as compared to $14.9 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was due to growth of corporate infrastructure primarily in information technology, as well as, professional services to support the expansion of new and existing sales channels and product lines.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $0.2 million, or 34%, to $0.3 million as compared to $0.5 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease is a result of an increase in total debt balances and a higher weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of 3.48% as compared to 3.15% in the corresponding period in 2022, offset by capitalized interest for current projects.
Other income (expense), net consists of miscellaneous income (expense) items such as bank fees and credit card rebates. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the corresponding period in 2022,was due to lower credit card rebates received in 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized losses from the change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities. The liabilities were settled prior to December 31, 2022 and therefore were not recurring for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Overview
Our principal use of cash is to support operational expenses associated with non-capitalizable costs, which largely consist of working capital requirements related to accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and general and administrative expenses. Furthermore, we use cash to fund our debt service commitments, capital equipment purchases, Outposts build-out and other growth-related needs.
Our primary sources of cash are (1) cash on hand, (2) cash provided by operating activities, and (3) net borrowings from our credit facilities. As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $26.0 million and our working capital was $71.4 million.
Credit Facilities and Promissory Note
The equipment financing loan is secured by the equipment financed and is at an interest rate of the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") plus 3.50%. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has available credit under the equipment financing loan and the retail facility of $6.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023, we have $12.3 million available borrowings under our credit facility. Our ability to draw from the credit facilities is subject to a borrowing base and other covenants, including a $15.0 million minimum liquidity condition.
Cash Requirements
We believe that these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our debt service requirements, lease obligations working capital requirements and to meet our commitments in the ordinary course of business and under the current market conditions for at least the next twelve months.
We expect we may continue to incur net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, and we expect our general and administrative expenses and capital expenditures will continue to increase as we continue to expand our operations, product offerings and customer base.
Our future capital requirements may vary materially from period to period and will depend on many factors, primarily our continued expansion into the Wholesale channel and growth of Outposts. We currently expect to fund our material capital requirements, mainly working capital, with proceeds from operations and our senior secured credit facility, but we may also seek additional debt or equity financing.

Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities is primarily generated from revenue from our DTC and Wholesale channels.
Net cash used in operating activities was $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $32.6 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The total decrease of $17.2 million
33
in net cash used was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable. These changes were partially offset by an increase in inventory for the period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $4.2 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The $0.7 million increase in net cash used was primarily due to continued capital expenditure projects for our Outpost locations and roasting facilities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $136.9 million for the corresponding period in 2022. The $129.6 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to activity related to the Business Combination that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022 that was not recurring in the same period for 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing was due to proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and repayment of long-term debt.
Commitments
The Company has entered into several manufacturing and purchase agreements to purchase coffee products from third-party suppliers. The minimum purchase amounts are based on quantity and in the aggregate will be approximately $33.4 million for the remainder of 2023; $26.5 million for 2024; and none for 2025.
In September 2021, the Company entered into a manufacturing and purchase agreement to purchase canned beverage
product from a third-party supplier. The initial term ends on December 31, 2023, and automatically renews for two
consecutive year periods, unless either party provides notice of cancellation at least 120 days prior to the end of the current
term. The minimum purchase amount carries a minimum surcharge of approximately $1.7 million for the remainder of 2023; $19.9 million for 2024; and $22.4 million for 2025.
In November 2021, the Company entered into a manufacturing and purchase agreement to purchase coffee product from a third-party supplier. The term remains in effect until December 31, 2023. The minimum purchase amount is based on quantity and will be approximately $8.8 million on an annual basis.
Liabilities relating to operating leases that have commenced as of March 31, 2023 have been reported on the balance sheet as operating lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2023, we have entered into operating leases that have not yet commenced of, primarily related to real estate leases. These leases will commence between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025 with lease terms of 10 years to 20 years.
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups ("JOBS") Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies for up to five years or until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The methods, assumptions, and estimates that we use in applying our accounting policies may require us to apply judgements regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider an accounting policy to be a critical estimate if (1) we must make assumptions that were uncertain when the judgment was made, and (2) changes in the estimate assumptions, or selection of a different estimate methodology could have a significant impact on our financial position and the results that we report in our unaudited consolidated financial statements. While we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgements are reasonable, they are based on information available when the estimate was made.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
34
Commodity Risks
Our profitability is dependent on, among other things, our ability to anticipate and react to changes in costs of key operating resources. Commodity price risk is our primary market risk, which is affected by purchases of coffee beans, dairy products, aluminum cans and other materials and commodities. We purchase and roast quality coffee beans that can be subject to significant volatility. Increases in the “C” coffee commodity price increase the price of high-quality coffee. We generally enter into fixed price purchase commitments for the green coffee we roast.
The supply and price of coffee we purchase can also be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries, such as weather (including the potential effects of climate change), natural disasters, crop disease, inventory levels, and political and economic conditions. Because of the significance of coffee beans to our operations, combined with our ability to only partially mitigate future price risk through purchasing practices, increases in the cost of high-quality coffee beans could have a material adverse impact on our profitability.
Interest Rate Risk
In order to maintain liquidity and fund certain business operations, our Senior Credit Facility bears a variable interest rate based on the BSBY plus 2.25%. The Equipment Line bears a variable interest rate based on the BSBY plus 3.50%. We seek to manage exposure to adverse interest rate changes through our normal operating and financing activities. As of March 31, 2023, we had $27.3 million outstanding on the Senior Credit Facility with available borrowings of $12.3 million. As of March 31, 2023, we had $3.3 million outstanding on the Equipment Line with available borrowings of $6.2 million. The carrying value of the variable interest rate debt approximates its fair value as the borrowings are based on market interest rates. A hypothetical increase of interest rates of 5% on our outstanding variable rate borrowings would result in additional interest expense of approximately $1.5 million.
Inflation
Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our products, overhead costs and parcel freight costs have had an impact on our operating results. While we have begun to partially offset inflation and other changes in costs of essential operating resources by slightly increasing prices, along with more efficient purchasing practices and productivity improvements, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so in the future. From time to time, competitive conditions could limit our pricing flexibility. There can be no assurance that future cost increases can be offset by increased prices or that increased prices will be fully absorbed by our customers without any resulting change to their purchasing patterns. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will generate overall revenue growth in an amount sufficient to offset inflationary or other cost pressures. The cost of constructing our Outposts is subject to inflation, which could increase the costs of labor and materials. An increasing rate of inflation in the future may have a material adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross profit and operating expenses, if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosures controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
