Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding amounts related to our Credit Facility incur interest fees at variable interest rates and are affected by changes in the general level of market interest rates. However, there was no outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We transact business globally in multiple currencies and hence have foreign currency risks related to our net sales, cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our net exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Our objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce the volatility caused by foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of our international operations. We generally target to hedge a majority of our forecasted yearly foreign currency exchange exposure through a 24-month rolling layered approach and leave a portion of our currency forecast floating at spot rate. Our currency forecast and hedge positions are reviewed quarterly. The gains and losses on the forward contracts associated with our balance sheet positions are recorded in ‘‘Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The total notional values of our forward exchange contracts were $99.1 million and $128.8 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The derivatives on the forward exchange contracts resulted in an unrealized gain of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an approximately $6.7 million gain or loss.

A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2026, a 1% change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies would have caused our cash and cash equivalents to decrease or increase by $0.2 million.
Tariff and Inflation Risks
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of transportation, labor and manufacturing costs. In recent years, we have seen fluctuating transportation costs caused by global supply chain disruptions or geopolitical instability and general inflation effects, which may cause pressure on our costs and margins. More specifically, we source a large amount of our finished goods from international countries, which exposes us to international supply chain inflation, particularly ocean freight, and to changes in the strength of the U.S. dollar.
In the six months ended June 30, 2026, general inflationary pressures continue to increase the other elements of our cost of goods and operating expenses. In addition, during 2025, the U.S. government implemented a universal baseline tariff of 10%, plus significant additional country-specific reciprocal tariffs, including increased rates of approximately 20% for our Asian sourcing countries, and 50% for Brazil (including the baseline 10% rate previously announced). In November 2025, relief was granted for certain agricultural products, including tariff codes applicable to coconut water products, and a waiver was issued for incremental tariffs on coconut water imports from Brazil, which significantly reduced the tariff burden on the majority of our portfolio. Certain miscellaneous tariffs, however, remain in effect.
While these developments have mitigated a portion of the cost impact associated with tariffs, the tariff environment remains evolving and uncertain. Changes in trade policy, the potential imposition of additional tariffs under alternative statutory authorities, and broader macroeconomic effects could continue to affect our cost of goods sold and margins. These factors may also disrupt ocean shipping capacity, which could impact our ability to secure ocean freight containers for our products, and create inflationary pressures on our costs. We continue to monitor these developments and pursue pricing actions, sourcing strategies and other cost‑mitigation measures; however, there can be no assurance that such actions will fully offset the impact of tariffs or related economic conditions.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to concentration of credit risk from our major customers. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, sales to two customers represented approximately 44% of our consolidated net sales. We have not experienced credit issues with these customers. We maintain provisions for potential credit losses and evaluate the solvency of our customers on an ongoing basis to determine if additional allowances for doubtful accounts and customer credits need to be recorded. Significant economic disruptions or a slowdown in the economy could result in significant additional charges.
