What we found in FARM's 10-Q: the parts that mattered, the offsets in the same document, and what the company said about what comes next.
Our reading of the filing · Free to read, no account needed
Farmer Bros. reported quarterly net sales of $88.923 million and GAAP diluted EPS of $(0.22), driven by a $32.267 million gross profit but a $(4.136) million operating loss. YoY revenue and gross profit declined while leverage increased (revolver borrowings rose to $21.3 million) and operating cash flow remained negative for the six months ended December 31, 2025. Liquidity and covenant-trigger risk are the primary near-term concerns.
The parts that mattered.
Pulled out of the filing itself, with the figures the company reported.
- Revenue roughly stable year-over-year
- Net sales were $88,923,000 for the quarter versus $90,021,000 in the prior-year quarter (a decline of $1,098,000), showing only a modest YoY change as reported in the consolidated statements of operations.
- Gross profit remains positive
- Gross profit of $32,267,000 was reported (cost of goods sold $56,656,000), leaving gross dollars to absorb SG&A despite a YoY decline from $38,839,000 in the prior-year quarter (down $6,572,000).
- Operating loss and EPS miss
- Loss from operations was $(4,136,000) (versus income from operations $1,018,000 in the prior-year quarter) and diluted GAAP EPS was $(0.22) compared with $0.01 in the prior-year quarter.
- Increased revolver borrowings provide near-term liquidity
- Long-term borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased to $21,300,000 as of December 31, 2025 from $14,300,000 at June 30, 2025; net cash provided by financing activities for the six months was $6,895,000 (reflecting $7,000,000 proceeds).
- Working capital broadly stable
- Accounts receivable, net was $25,527,000 (up $769,000 from $24,758,000 at June 30, 2025) and inventories were $49,395,000 (down $444,000 from $49,839,000 at June 30, 2025), per the balance sheet.
- Balance sheet equity decline
- Total stockholders' equity decreased to $35,658,000 at December 31, 2025 from $43,548,000 at June 30, 2025 (a decline of $7,890,000); accumulated deficit increased to $(53,761,000) from $(44,870,000).
And the other side of it.
The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.
- Negative operating cash flow
- Net cash used in operating activities was $(5,793,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2025 (versus $5,046,000 provided in the prior-year six months), indicating weakened operating cash generation.
- Low unrestricted cash and higher revolver borrowings
- Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $4,186,000 at December 31, 2025 (down from $6,796,000 at June 30, 2025) while revolver borrowings totaled $21,300,000, increasing short-term liquidity pressure.
- Covenant sensitivity on revolver availability
- The Revolver Agreements require that if availability falls below $9,375,000 the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 — with cash of $4,186,000 and $21,300,000 drawn on the revolver at Dec 31, 2025, availability could be constrained.
- Profitability deterioration
- Cost of goods sold rose to $56,656,000 while gross profit declined to $32,267,000, producing an operating loss of $(4,136,000) and a net loss of $(4,866,000) for the quarter, all worse versus the prior-year quarter as shown in the statements of operations.
- Equity cushion shrinking
- Total stockholders' equity fell to $35,658,000 at December 31, 2025 from $43,548,000 at June 30, 2025 and accumulated deficit widened to $(53,761,000), reducing financial flexibility.
