If we do not effectively anticipate and respond to changing trends and consumer beverage preferences, including through innovation and renovation, our sales and growth could suffer. Addressing changes in consumer preferences may require successful development, introduction, and marketing of new products and line extensions. There are inherent risks associated with new product or packaging innovation, including uncertainties about trade and consumer acceptance or potential impacts on our existing product offerings. Successful innovation may depend on our ability to obtain, protect, and maintain necessary intellectual property rights and to avoid infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. Failure to innovate successfully could compromise our competitive position and impact our product sales, financial condition, and operating results.

Discovery in all remaining matters pending in the Multidistrict Antitrust Litigation is concluded, with the plaintiffs (which no longer include the purported direct purchaser class) collectively claiming more than $5 approximately $1.5 billion of monetary damages. Keurig strongly disputes the merits of the claims and the calculation of damages. In 2021, the parties filed motions challenging the validity of certain of the other parties’ proposed expert opinions. In January 2025, the court issued a ruling on these motions, granting challenges to certain expert testimony—including Keurig’s challenge to JBR, Inc.’s damages expert—but largely denying the parties’ motions. Keurig has also fully briefed summary judgment motions that, if successful, would end the cases entirely. Keurig is also pursuing its opposition to direct purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.
