$JVA Fortunately, the national brands held their current list pricing in place which allowed us to do the same, somewhat mitigating the potential impairment to our anticipated profit margins. Also, the decrease in the green coffee market does have a silver lining as we were recently awarded some substantial new business which we now will be able to service at increased margins due to new lower input costs in addition to expected increased profit margins on our Cafe Caribe brand. We plan to continue to focus on reducing inventories over the next several months as we believe the historical high in the price of green coffee over the last two years is now in the rear-view mirror and, as result, we do not believe there is a need for carrying extra inventory coverage. Even with the adverse coffee commodity pricing we have experienced, we believe we are still well positioned to maintain profitability for the balance of 2026," concluded Mr. Gordon.
