Coffee Holding Company Reports Third Quarter Results.
Coffee Holding Co. (Nasdaq: JVA) reported mixed Q3 2025 results with net sales increasing 27% to $23.9M compared to $18.8M in Q3 2024. However, the company recorded a net loss of $1.19M primarily due to a $2.2M negative impact from derivative positions amid falling coffee prices.
The company's recent acquisition, Second Empire, achieved profitability in July and is expected to be earnings accretive going forward. Despite increased borrowing for inventory buildup to mitigate tariff impacts, JVA maintained price stability without passing tariff costs to customers during Q3. Management anticipates implementing tariff-related price increases as pre-tariff inventory depletes, following industry trends.
Coffee Holding Co. (Nasdaq: JVA) ha pubblicato risultati misti per il terzo trimestre 2025, con le vendite nette in aumento del 27% a 23,9 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 18,8 milioni di dollari del Q3 2024. Tuttavia, l'azienda ha registrato una perdita netta di 1,19 milioni di dollari, principalmente a causa di un impatto negativo di 2,2 milioni legato a posizioni derivate in un contesto di deprezzamento del caffè. L'acquisizione recente, Second Empire, ha raggiunto la redditività a luglio ed è prevista generare valore aggiunto agli utili in futuro. Nonostante un maggior indebitamento per accumulare scorte al fine di mitigare gli effetti delle tariffe, JVA ha mantenuto la stabilità dei prezzi senza trasferire i costi tariffari ai clienti nel Q3. La direzione prevede di applicare aumenti dei prezzi legati alle tariffe una volta esaurito l’inventario pre-tariffa, in linea con le tendenze del settore.
Coffee Holding Co.

Sin embargo, la empresa registró una pérdida neta de 1,19 millones de dólares principalmente debido a un impacto negativo de 2,2 millones relacionado con posiciones derivadas ante la caída de los precios del café. La adquisición reciente, Second Empire, alcanzó rentabilidad en julio y se espera que aporte a las ganancias en el futuro. A pesar de un mayor endeudamiento para acumular inventario para mitigar el impacto de los aranceles, JVA mantuvo la estabilidad de precios sin trasladar los costos arancelarios a los clientes durante el Q3. La dirección prevé implementar aumentos de precios ligados a aranceles a medida que se agote el inventario pre-arancelario, en línea con las tendencias de la industria.
Coffee Holding Co. (나스닥: JVA)가 2025년 3분기에 혼합된 실적을 발표했습니다. 순매출은 전년 동기 대비 27% 증가한 2390만 달러를 기록했으나, 순손실은 119만 달러로 보고되었으며 이는 주로 커피 가격 하락 속에서 파생상품으로 인한 220만 달러의 부정적 영향 때문입니다. 최근 인수한 Second Empire는 7월에 흑자를 달성했고 향후 실적에 기여할 것으로 기대됩니다. 관세 영향 완화를 위해 재고 확보를 위한 차입을 늘렸음에도 불구하고, JVA는 3분기 동안 고객에게 관세 비용을 전가하지 않고 가격 안정성을 유지했습니다. 경영진은 비관세 재고가 소진되면 관세 관련 가격 인상을 도입할 예정이며, 업계 흐름을 따를 전망입니다.
Coffee Holding Co. (Nasdaq: JVA) a publié des résultats mitigés pour le troisième trimestre 2025, avec un chiffre d’affaires net en hausse de 27% à 23,9 millions de dollars par rapport à 18,8 millions de dollars au T3 2024. En revanche, l’entreprise a enregistré une perte nette de 1,19 million de dollars, principalement due à un impact négatif de 2,2 millions lié à des positions dérivées dans un contexte de chute des prix du café. L’acquisition récente, Second Empire, a atteint la rentabilité en juillet et devrait contribuer positivement aux résultats à l’avenir. Malgré un recours accru au financement pour constituer des stocks afin d’atténuer les effets des tarifs, JVA est restée à des prix stables et n’a pas répercuté les coûts tarifaires sur ses clients au T3. La direction prévoit d’appliquer des hausses de prix liées aux tarifs une fois l’inventaire pré-tarif épuisé, conformément à la tendance du secteur.
Coffee Holding Co. (Nasdaq: JVA) meldete gemischte Ergebnisse für das Q3 2025, wobei der Nettoumsatz um 27% auf 23,9 Mio. USD stieg gegenüber 18,8 Mio. USD im Q3 2024. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete jedoch einen Nettoverlust von 1,19 Mio. USD, hauptsächlich aufgrund eines negativen Einflusses von 2,2 Mio. USD durch Derivatepositionen in einem Umfeld fallender Kaffeepreise. Die jüngste Akquisition, Second Empire, erreichte im Juli Profitabilität und soll zukünftig die Erträge erhöhen. Trotz erhöhter Verschuldung zur Inventory-Aufstockung zur Minderung der Tarifeinflüsse blieb JVA im Q3 preissetzunstabil und leitete Tarife nicht an Kunden weiter. Die Geschäftsführung geht davon aus, Tariftreppenpreiserhöhungen einzuführen, sobald das Vor-Tarif-Inventar verbleibt, im Einklang mit Branchentrends.

Insights
JVA reports mixed Q3: 27% sales growth to $23.9M, but $1.19M net loss due to $2.2M derivative hit; operational profitability maintained.
Coffee Holding Co. delivered $23.9 million in quarterly revenue, representing an impressive
The core operations remain profitable despite the reported loss, which is crucial context for understanding the company's actual business performance. The derivative losses occurred during a significant coffee market decline (
The recently acquired Second Empire subsidiary has reached profitability in July, becoming accretive to earnings ahead of schedule. This validates management's M&A strategy and suggests potential for additional earnings contribution moving forward.
JVA's inventory management strategy shows foresight - they built inventory before tariff implementation, avoiding immediate price increases unlike competitors who were forced into price concessions. However, as these pre-tariff inventories deplete, the company acknowledges it will likely need to implement price increases to maintain margins.
The balance sheet did see increased borrowing to finance the strategic inventory build-up, representing a short-term financial cost for long-term operational stability. Management appears confident in a strong Q4 performance, suggesting the unrealized derivative losses may reverse and boost profitability, potentially securing the previously announced dividend.
STATEN ISLAND, Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (Nasdaq: JVA) (the “Company,” “our” or “we”) announced its operating results for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025. “We had net sales of
“Operations continue to remain strong, and it was unfortunate that our derivatives had such an effect on our results, but the coffee market was in freefall for most of the quarter as the uncertainty and the impact of President Trump’s tariffs along with the weight of next Brazil’s harvest sent coffee prices spiraling lower by
Fortunately, we held our positions during the period, as coffee prices have now resumed their prior upward trajectory and are trading near all-time historic highs again. We believe this will ensure that our inventory positions continue to be secured at least through the end of 2025.
In addition, we believe a reversal of the unrealized loss on many of these derivatives in the fourth quarter will occur, thereby boosting profits and confirming the previously announced anticipated dividend based on our year-end profits.
Also, during this quarter, our latest acquisition, Second Empire, recorded a profit in July. This success in a relatively short period of time hopefully confirms the future success of our initiatives. We now expect Second Empire to be accretive to earnings on a go-forward basis.
Although our borrowing increased during this quarter, we built our inventories in advance to avoid the maximum impact of the tariffs. This was essential, as the decline in coffee prices forced many of our competitors into price concessions, which now have to be reversed due to the recent climb in coffee prices.
Our company, on the other hand, held to our previously announced price increases and did not pass on the additional costs resulting from the tariffs to our customers, which had a minimal impact on us for the three-month period.
Moving forward, however, as we continue to deplete our “tariff-free” inventories, it may become necessary for us to implement tariffs to many of our wholesale and retail customers, similar to what the national brands are doing, in order to maintain our margins. We do not expect major pushback against implementing such price increases as this has unfortunately become normalized in the industry over the last several months.
Lastly, although this quarter’s earnings were disappointing due to the unrealized loss on derivatives, operations still remain profitable during what I consider to be the most challenging period I’ve seen in my forty years in the coffee industry.
I believe we are headed for a promising outlook for the fourth quarter and the near future” concluded Andrew Gordon.
