Coffee Prices Expected To Soar In October

Coffee prices are expected to soar around the world due to natural and manmade factors.

Changes in the coffee market have reduced coffee supplies and are driving some coffee-bearing regions to stockpile coffee beans. This is big news if you are a coffee drinker. Prices are expected to increase around the world. It is a lesson of basic economics - the law of supply and demand - and there is nothing that can be done about it this year. Unfortunately, everyone from coffee farmers through roasters and retailers, right down to you and your coffee mug, is feeling the effects a poor growing season can have on an agricultural product that is consumed internationally but only grown in a few select regions.

Weather is as unreliable as a commodities market, and these days, it seems just as unstable. A bad season in South America led to weaker than usual harvests and a resultant decline in this year’s world harvest of Arabica coffee beans. Like a run on the banks, this has led to panicked stockpiling in other regions of the world. Beyond that, investors in coffee commodities too took a lemming-like run on robusta coffee beans, driving up prices of the lesser quality coffee bean as well. This combination of natural and man-made factors in the coffee market this year has formed the perfect storm to drive up all coffee prices.

The result is that coffee prices have reached an historic high. All of this has happened at a time when domestic stockpiles of coffee beans are low. Not a single domestic manufacturer of whole bean, ground or single serving coffee is escaping the increase in costs that this leads to. The result is as much as a twenty percent increase in coffee prices. Of course, this cost increase is passed on to the retailers and unfortunately also affects the pocket books of coffee drinkers.

We are expecting even the best K-Cup coffee prices to increase 10 - 15 percent and other coffee products to see similar price jumps in the first weeks of October. That makes now the time to stock up in order to beat the price increase.

Coffee is a market-based commodity; as demand stays steady and the supply declines, worldwide prices increase. We can all hope for a better harvest next year on all the coffee farms the world over.

Diedrich Coffee Acquisition By Green Mountain Coffee Completed

The Associated Press May 12, 2010
Businessweek.com

WATERBURY, Vt.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. has completed its $300 million acquisition of Diedrich Coffee Inc., one of four roasters licensed to produce K-Cups for the top-selling single-serve Keurig brewing system.

The K-Cup brand is owned by Green Mountain, which is based in Waterbury.

Green Mountain said Tuesday it paid $35 per share in cash for each share of common stock. As of midnight Monday, nearly 5.5 million shares had been tendered -- roughly 95 percent of the company's outstanding shares.

Diedrich is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Mountain and will be part of its specialty coffee division.

Shares of Green Mountain, based in Waterbury, Vt., closed at $76.51 on Tuesday. Diedrich Coffee shares will no longer be traded on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange.

Green Mountain Coffee Acquires Diedrich Coffee

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters acquired Diedrich Coffee Inc. in March after several months investigation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The federal regulators scrutinized the impact that the sale of Diedrich Coffee would have on the single serve coffee for Keurig coffee makers.

Green Mountain purchased Keurig Inc in 2006 and has been working to consolidate production and Keurig K-Cup sales ever since. Tully's Coffee Corp. wholesale division was bought early in 2009, followed by Timothy's Coffees of the World Inc. in November of 2009. Shortly thereafter, in December, the deal for Diedrich Coffee Inc was agreed upon. Green Mountain successfully shut out the attempts of Peets Coffee to purchase Diedrich.

The size of the Diedrich purchase triggered an automatic federal review under the Hart-Scott Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976.

The Diedrich Coffee buyout comprised the largest acquisition of a licensee by Green Mountain, whose earlier transactions had apparently not been large enough to trigger a Hart-Scott-Rodino filing. The review by the FTC was quite extensive, spurred on by political pressure by some of Green Mountain competitors.

Keurig coffee makers and K-Cups are successfully changing how people are brewing coffee. There have been single cup brewers before the Keurig but none of them have drastically changed the coffee market like the Keurig brewer has. Many in the coffee industry see the growth of the K-Cup market as a game changer for coffee roasters that have captured consumers with gourmet coffee beans for more than two decades.

The parents of baby boomer drank percolated their coffee. The disco era brought gourmet coffee beans that we ground and dripped to make our pot of coffee.  Now, in the 21st century, we brew one cup of coffee at a time for the freshest flavor without throwing out the rest of the pot.

The Diedrich's K-Cup market actually kept their business alive when they attempted to challenge the Starbucks coffee shop idea with their own coffee houses. In 2006, Diedrich sold 40 of their coffee houses to Starbucks Corp. In 2009 sold the remaining Gloria Jeans's Gourmet Coffee & Teas in the U.S. to Praise International North America, an affiliate of the Australian group that bought the internationaal Gloria Jean's a few years before.

Diedrich's was originally licensed in 2000 by Keurig Inc. to produce the K-Cups prior to Keurig's purchase by Green Mountain. Diedrich K-Cup market didn't produce the profitability they realized 6 years later, when K-Cups became a significant part of their business.

Green Mountain's business saavy put Keurig coffee makers in retail markets like Wal-Mart, Macy's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Target. Diedrich K-Cup sales multiplied and their stock soared in 2009, ending up about 10,000%.

In late fall of 2009, Peet's Coffee & Tea Inc. first offered $213 million in cash and stock for Diedrich. Thus began the bidding war that ended with Green Mountain's acquisition.

Peet's coffee aggressively sought to purchase Diedrich because of the success of the K-Cup and the change in the coffee industry. They were looking for an opportunity to enter the single cup brewing market with the proven successful K-Cups. When Peet's divulged it's bid to the public in November, Diedrich was able to seek bids from other suitors; enter Green Mountain.

The month long bidding war culminated in the winning bid by Green Mountain and the several month investigation by the FTC. Recently, Green Mountain's acquistion of Diedrich Coffee Inc. was completed with the blessing of the Federal Trade Commission.

Peet's Acquires Diedrich Coffee- Peet's K-Cups To Come?

Excerpt From Investor.Peets.com

Peet's Coffee & Tea Announces Definitive Agreement to Acquire Diedrich Coffee in Cash-and-Stock Transaction
Combination of Diedrich with Peet's Formidable Growth Infrastructure Expected to Accelerate K-Cup Single Cup Market Growth
Companies to Host Conference Call and Webcast at 3:00 PM Pacific Time Today


EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov 02, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEET) and Diedrich Coffee, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDRX) announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Peet's will acquire Diedrich in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at $26.00 per share or a total value of approximately $213 million. The acquisition will further solidify Peet's leading position in the specialty coffee and tea market, with premium quality brands in every segment of the category.

With this acquisition, Peet's will enter the rapidly growing single cup coffee market with strong specialty coffee brands helping to drive household penetration of the K-Cup brewer system by leveraging Peet's infrastructure and direct-store-delivery selling system. Diedrich, a wholesale coffee roaster and distributor, is almost exclusively focused on the production and sale of K-Cups(R) for Keurig Incorporated's top selling single-cup brewing system through a license with Keurig. As a part of the transaction, Peet's will acquire Diedrich's portfolio of brands including Diedrich Coffee, Coffee People and the single serve rights to the nationally recognized Gloria Jean's coffee brand. Peet's will also be acquiring Diedrich's roasting and packaging facility capable of roasting and packaging unflavored and flavored coffees, with significant current and future K-Cup production capacity.

Upon closing, Diedrich's business will immediately benefit from the infrastructure that Peet's has developed to support large scale, national growth of its premium quality coffees, including its freshness-sensitive direct store delivery (DSD) selling and merchandising system to grocery stores.

"Over the past 7 years we've built the organization, roasting plant, IT and DSD sales infrastructure to expand the Peet's brand into homes across the country without compromising our distinctive quality and superior freshness standards," said Patrick O'Dea, President and CEO of Peet's. "This has driven a 42% compound annual growth rate in our packaged coffee business during that time and solidified Peet's position as the premier quality specialty coffee brand."

"Consistent with our vision to be the gold standard specialty coffee company with leading premium quality brands in every segment of the category, we recently launched a line of premium Godiva coffees in the medium roast and flavored segments with excellent sell-in success. The Diedrich acquisition represents another major strategic growth initiative for our consumer packaged coffee business, by entering and driving adoption of the single cup segment through Diedrich's high-growth K-Cup business," said O'Dea.

"Together, Diedrich and Peet's will create new growth opportunities for Diedrich's brands and further drive household penetration of the K-Cup market," said Diedrich chairman Paul Heeschen. "As a result, this combination benefits shareholders of both companies, customers, employees and our K-Cup business partners. Our already strong K-Cup business will accelerate under Peet's in a way we could not achieve alone," said Heeschen.

Upon completion, the transaction will provide Diedrich shareholders with cash, as well as the opportunity for continued ownership of an interest in the combined company through the stock component of the purchase price. The acquisition is structured as a two-step transaction consisting of an exchange offer for all of the outstanding shares of Diedrich common stock followed by a merger of a Peet's subsidiary into Diedrich. For each share of Diedrich common stock tendered and accepted in the exchange offer or converted in the merger, Peet's will pay a combination of $17.33 in cash and a fraction of a share of Peet's common stock having a value (based on the trading price of Peet's common stock over a designated period prior to the completion of the exchange offer) of approximately $8.67, but such fraction will not exceed 0.315 of a share of Peet's common stock. Outstanding warrants and options to acquire Diedrich common stock will also be converted into the right to receive a combination of cash and shares of Peet's common stock. Upon completion of the second-step merger, Diedrich will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peet's. Mr. Heeschen and other directors and executive officers of Diedrich have signed stockholder agreements in favor of Peet's committing to tender into the exchange offer shares of Diedrich common stock representing in excess of 32% of the total outstanding common stock of Diedrich.

The acquisition has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of each company and is subject to regulatory approval and certain other closing conditions. Peet's will finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand (at both companies) and $140 million of committed debt financing. The acquisition is expected to be dilutive to earnings in 2010 and accretive thereafter. The exchange offer is currently expected to close by end of the calendar year 2009.

Green Mountain Coffee Stimulates Climate Change With Grants Worth $800K


From ClimateBiz Staff

WATERBURY, Vt. -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. solicited proposals this week from nonprofit organizations working to address climate change, with plans to hand out $800,000 in grants.

The Vermont-based company will award four nonprofits $200,000 in grants each for their work battling climate change in one of four areas: transportation, building political will, individual empowerment and threats to coffee-growing communities.

The grants will be paid over a five-year period. Winning organizations must also agree to meet with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and each other twice a year to share experiences and help one another reduce their carbon footprints.

Green Mountain Coffee is opening up its grant selection process to the public by putting the proposals online at JustMeans.com and allowing visitors to vote for their favorite, or follow the process via Twitter.

By the end of the week, the company had received more than three dozen entries to the site, some more developed than others, such as the Environmental Impact Initiative, a nonprofit that’s developed an incentive program for fuel-efficient taxi upgrades, and Green Renters, a group working to align incentives for landlords and tenants to boost energy efficiency in buildings.

The grant awards are part of a larger companywide campaign called "Changing Climate Change," which also includes employee incentives, carbon offsets and direct emissions reductions. The company said last week it was going to build a 100 kW solar photovoltaic system at its Vermont headquarters, which it said will be the state’s largest.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GMCR, has been lauded in recent days for its financial performance, with its earnings growing year-over-year for eight straight quarters.
