Coffee Holding Co., Inc. Reports Results for the Three and Six Months Ended April 30, 2012
 
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., June 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coffee Holding Co., Inc. ("Coffee Holding") (Nasdaq:JVA) today announced its operating results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012. In this release, the Company:
 
  
Reports net sales of $93,687,243 for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and $37,085,559 for the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared to net sales of $62,973,110 for the six months ended April 30, 2011 and $37,332,017 for the three months ended April 30, 2011; and
 
  
Reports net loss of $370,247, or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared to net income of $1,187,957, or $0.22 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended April 30, 2011.
 
Results of Operations
 
The Company had a net loss of $370,247, or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared to net income of $1,187,957 or $0.22 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended April 30, 2011.  The Company had a net income of $1,208,098, or $0.19 per share basic and $0.18 per share diluted, for the six months ended April 30, 2012 compared to net income of $2,229,029 or $0.41 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended April 30, 2011. The decrease in net income primarily reflects increased cost of sales due to a $2.3 million change in our commodity trading.
 
Net sales totaled $37,085,559 for the three months ended April 30, 2012, a decrease of $246,458, or .6%, from $37,332,017 for the three months ended April 30, 2011. The decrease in net sales reflects a decrease in coffee prices on average of $1.00 per pound compared to pricing in 2011 and lower sales prices in certain business areas compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Net sales totaled $93,687,243 for the six months ended April 30, 2012, an increase of $30,714,133, or 49%, from $62,973,110 for the six months ended April 30, 2011. The increase in net sales reflects additional poundage sold, as well as additional sales of green coffee to new customers and increased branded sales partially offset by lower private label sales.
 
Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $35,701,667 or 96.3% of net sales, as compared to $33,732,954 or 90.3% of net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2011. Cost of sales for the six months ended April 30, 2012 was $87,853,608 or 93.8% of net sales, as compared to $56,292,992 or 89.4% of net sales for the six months ended April 30, 2011. The increase in cost of sales reflects the increased cost of green coffee, hedging losses, additional poundage sold, as well as a greater shift in the percentage of sales of green coffee from roasted coffee sales.
 
Total operating expenses increased by $117,136, or 6.6%, to $1,904,349 for the three months ended April 30, 2012 as compared to operating expenses of $1,787,213 for the three months ended April 30, 2011. Total operating expenses increased by $257,173, or 7.4%, to $3,732,240 for the six months ended April 30, 2012 as compared to operating expenses of $3,475,067 for the six months ended April 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was due to increases in selling and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in officers' salaries.
 
 
 

 
 
"Throughout 2012, most specifically the last 4 months, we have faced more challenges as a company than I can recall in my 30+ years in the industry.  Macro headwinds, a coffee market which has dropped over $1.00 per pound and a series of lower monthly closes in the price of coffee not seen in over 31 years reduced our sales numbers as well as our gross profit.  With the price of the underlying commodity decreasing rapidly, we believe many customers refrained from purchasing while awaiting lower prices as a decrease in the national coffee brands (which arrived in May) was highly anticipated.  As a result, sales of our private labels (by cases) during this period declined by 12% from the same period in 2011.  Partially offsetting this decrease, sales of green coffee to our gourmet roaster base increased by 11% in terms of pounds, and our sales would have been almost $2 million greater had the coffee market not collapsed as compared to prices during last year's quarter," noted Andrew Gordon, our President and CEO.
 
"On a positive note, sales of our brands, most notably Café Caribe and our licensed S&W increased dramatically during this period as compared to last year as a result of both our marketing efforts and new increased customer base. In terms of cases, sales of Café Caribe were up 110% year over year and sales of S&W increased by 132% year over year. We believe this trend will continue regardless of any future instability in green coffee prices or economic conditions. Finally, although quarterly results are not what we had hoped for, we believe they do not adequately reflect the true condition of the company. We believe commodity prices will eventually recover reflecting the true supply/demand fundamentals of the coffee market rather than the current speculative and outside forces which have adversely affected the market during 2012. We believe we remain poised for further growth and will continue to operate the business in a manner which will allow us to remain both competitive and profitable for the foreseeable future," stated Mr. Gordon.
 
Quarterly Dividend
 
The Company's previously announced quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 16, 2012. The dividend will be paid on July 30, 2012.
