BRC Inc. 10-Q

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 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 June 30, 2023, we had $61.8 million outstanding on the Senior Credit Facility with available borrowings of $4.9 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had $3.3 million outstanding on the Equipment Line with available borrowings of $6.3 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 annually of approximately $3.3 million. On August 10, 2023, we entered into the Credit Agreements and retired our previous Senior Credit Facility and real estate term loan facility with Regions Bank and the Equipment Line. See Note 15, Subsequent Events , to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q for information regarding the Credit Agreements. 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. 40 Table of Contents
