Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Reports Fiscal 2005
Second Quarter Results
-- Net Income Up 49.0% on Sales Growth of 19.1% --
WATERBURY, VT (May 12, 2005) -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., (NASDAQ: GMCR) today announced its fiscal second quarter results for the twelve week period ended April 9, 2005.
Net sales for the second quarter ended April 9, 2005, increased 19.1% to $37.0 million, up from $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2004. Total coffee pounds shipped were up 14.1% to 4.5 million pounds. Net income for the second quarter increased 49.0% to $2.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2004. The Company's net income in the second quarter of 2005 includes recognition of a non-cash gain of $77,000 or $0.01 per share as a result of its equity investment in Keurig, Incorporated as compared to a non-cash loss of $227,000 or $0.03 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
Robert P. Stiller, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "Green Mountain Coffee had a fantastic quarter as more and more consumers were introduced to our coffee. Shipments outside of New England represented 59% of our total business, as we continued to become a more nationally recognized brand. As we become more widely known, it is very exciting because it creates a certain momentum in terms of our growth opportunities. I believe our commitment to responsible business practices is a big part of this success, as consumers look for companies that share their values and priorities. A good example is the success of our Fair Trade and Organic coffees, which accounted for 20% of overall coffee pounds sold this past quarter, up 43 % over the year-ago quarter, and growing about three times faster than our conventional lines."
Stiller continued, "Our success in building our single-brew K-Cup® business also is very exciting. In fact, the biggest factor in our growth this past quarter was the success of the K-Cup. Our second quarter sales growth was led by the office coffee service channel, where strong K-Cup sales contributed almost half of the Company's total sales dollar increase for the quarter. Our consumer direct channel sales grew over 50% compared to last year's second quarter, driven by growth in K-Cups and Keurig B50 and B100 brewers. We are very excited about our growth prospects in this market segment as we are seeing increasing awareness and receptivity to single-cup brewing options, with Keurig being viewed as the best-in-class option."
Stiller concluded, " I am very pleased with our continued double-digit sales growth and anticipate even stronger sales growth in fiscal 2006 in the range of 20% to 25%. At the same time, I believe we can do an even better job with our margins and profitability. Looking forward, we will be focused on these two areas -- expanding the business and brand strategically for continued strong sales growth, and achieving better margins and profitability -- as part of our commitment to build stockholder value."
Second Quarter Financial Review
Channel and Other Sales Growth Highlights:
Margins, Expenses, and Analysis of After-Tax Income:

The Company sells K-Cups to businesses through its OCS channel, and to home users through its consumer direct channel.
Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical fact and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the applicable securities laws and regulations. Owing to the uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in availability and cost of high-quality green coffee, the unknown impact of recent price increases on net sales, competition, business conditions in the coffee industry and food industry in general, the impact of the loss of one or more major customers or reduction in the volume of purchases by one or more major customers, delays in the timing of adding new locations with existing customers, Green Mountain Coffee's level of success in continuing to attract new customers, variances from sales mix and growth rate, weather and special or unusual events, as well as other risks as described more fully in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company has an equity investment in Keurig, Incorporated, a small private company. Keurig, Incorporated can have significant quarterly operating income/loss fluctuations and its results can differ materially from expectations set forth in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of the date of this press release. The Company does not undertake to revise these statements to reflect subsequent developments, other than in its regular, quarterly earnings releases.
