•Governmental trade and investment restrictions, such as tariffs, export duties, ownership limits, and favoritism toward local competitors;

Coffee supply and pricing are influenced by factors in producing countries, including weather and extreme weather events, water availability, natural disasters, crop disease, input costs, inventory levels, political and economic conditions, and actions by organizations seeking to influence global prices. Climate change may intensify these risks—for example, droughts or frosts in Brazil have in the past driven price increases. Speculative trading also contributes to volatility. Tariffs have also affected, and in the future may affect, our costs to procure coffee. Given coffee’s central role in our operations and our limited ability to fully hedge against price increases, rising costs or supply shortages could materially impact our profitability and ability to meet customer demand. We supply strategic products, including coffee, to our licensees, and we may have limited ability to pass along increased costs.

We also rely on significant quantities of dairy products and plant-based alternatives, such as oat and almond milk, as well as other commodities including tea, cocoa, produce, meats, eggs, energy, and packaging materials. Price increases or supply disruptions—whether due to shortages, processing delays, tariffs, or other factors—could materially affect our profitability, particularly in international markets.

We are subject to risks from changes to the trade policies and tariff and import/export regulations by the U.S. and other foreign governments.

Changes in the import and export policies, including trade restrictions such as new, increased, threatened, or retaliatory tariffs or quotas, embargoes, sanctions and countersanctions, safeguards, or customs restrictions by the U.S. and foreign governments, have in the past required, and could in the future require, us to change the way we conduct business and such changes have in the past adversely affected, and could in the future adversely affect, our financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and our relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees in the short- or long-term. It may be time-consuming and expensive for us to alter our business operations to adapt to or comply with any such changes. Likewise, changes in laws and

Environmental regulations are evolving, with new or expanded rules targeting carbon emissions, plastic use, and commercial water consumption. These changes may lead to higher compliance costs, capital expenditures, and other financial obligations for us and our partners, potentially affecting profitability. Additional emerging regulations, such as import tariffs tied to alleged human rights violations, may also impact operations. Certain jurisdictions have enacted or proposed taxes or other restrictions on the manufacture, distribution, or sale of certain of our products, particularly beverages containing caloric sweeteners. These taxes and other measures vary in structure and may apply broadly or selectively. Additionally, environmentally focused taxes or other measures, such as plastic packaging levies or extended producer responsibility laws, are gaining traction. These measures can adversely affect our financial performance by raising product costs, reducing consumption, or generating negative publicity.
