Forward-Looking Statements; Securities Laws
Certain statements on the Site regarding the risks, circumstances and financial trends that may affect our future operating results, financial position and cash flows are not based on historical fact and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws and regulations. These statements are based on our management’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and observations of future events and include any statements that do not directly relate to any historical or current fact. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words like “anticipates,” “feels,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “intends,” “will,” “assumes” and other words of similar meaning. Owing to the uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements. We intend these forward-looking statements to speak only at the time they are posted to the Site and do not undertake to update or revise these statements as more information becomes available except as required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in availability and cost of green coffee, competition, organizational changes, our ability to successfully integrate the CBI and DSD Coffee Business acquisitions, the impact of a weaker economy, business conditions in the coffee industry and food industry in general, our continued success in attracting new customers, variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rates, weather and special or unusual events, and changes in the quality or dividend stream of third parties’ securities and other investment vehicles in which we have invested our assets, as well as other risks described in this report, and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

The Site and the information contained in the Site does not constitute an offer or a solicitation of an offer for sale of any securities. None of the information contained on the Site is intended to be, and shall not be deemed to be, incorporated into any of our securities-related filings or documents.

Prior to making an investment decision related to Farmer Bros. Co., please review all possible sources of current information; including, without limitation, our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and specifically, our most recent earnings release and our most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K for more information on the risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements.
