FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including those in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” that are not historical facts, including those regarding the impact of inflation, increased minimum wages, interest rate risk, and general macroeconomic conditions on our results of operations, supply chain, or liquidity, the potential impact of actions we have taken to mitigate the impact of unforeseen circumstances, taxes and tax rates, our expectations regarding the number of new shops we may open, anticipated future revenues and earnings, consumer demand, and our expectations to generate positive cash flow in the foreseeable future are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q.

You should read the following unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes in this Form 10-Q together with our analysis and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. You should also read our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2025 (2024 Form 10-K).

While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of the factors that could cause outcomes to differ materially from expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to, those listed under the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-Q, and in our 2024 Form 10-K, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — Organization and Background

Business

Dutch Bros Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the Company, we, us, or our, collectively) is in the business of operating and franchising drive-thru coffee shops as well as the wholesale and distribution of coffee, coffee-related products, and accessories. As of March 31, 2025, there were 1012 shops in operation in 18 U.S. states, of which 695 were company-operated and 317 were franchised.

Organization

Dutch Bros Inc. is the sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo and operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Dutch Bros OpCo. As a result, Dutch Bros Inc. consolidates the financial results of Dutch Bros OpCo and reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in Dutch Bros OpCo held by the other members of Dutch Bros OpCo. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. As of March 31, 2025, Dutch Bros Inc. held 100.0% of the voting interest and 70.5% of the economic interest of Dutch Bros OpCo. The Continuing Members held none of the voting interest and the remaining 29.5% of the economic interest of Dutch Bros OpCo.

Dutch Bros OpCo Recapitalization

From time to time, Dutch Bros Inc. receives cash distributions from Dutch Bros OpCo pursuant to the OpCo LLC Agreement. Dutch Bros Inc. may then loan any cash in excess of its liabilities back to Dutch Bros OpCo for operations, under the open-ended balance Subordinated Intercompany Note, between Dutch Bros OpCo and Dutch Bros Inc., dated February 28, 2022 (the Intercompany Note).

On February 7, 2025, Dutch Bros Inc. entered into a subscription agreement with Dutch Bros OpCo, pursuant to which Dutch Bros OpCo issued 51,942 newly authorized Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units to Dutch Bros Inc. in exchange for satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the Intercompany Note, which at that time was approximately $3.5 million.

In accordance with the OpCo LLC Agreement, all outstanding Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units were then recapitalized through a reverse unit split (the Reverse Split) in order to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units owned by Dutch Bros Inc. and the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Consequently, 15,734 outstanding shares of Class B common stock, and 1,220 outstanding shares of Class C common stock, that were paired with Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units eliminated as a result of the Reverse Split, were cancelled.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, consistent in all material respects with those applied in the 2024 Form 10-K and as updated by this Form 10-Q.

We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Although management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Form 10-K that includes additional information on accounting estimates, policies, and the methods and assumptions used in its estimates.

Table of Contents

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Significant Accounting Policies Updates

There have been no material updates to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from those previously reported in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily through improvements to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information, specifically requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (2) income taxes paid disaggregation by jurisdiction. These amendments are effective for public business entities' annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. We expect to provide additional detail and disclosures under the new guidance in our Form 10-K to be filed for the year ending December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The intent of this ASU is to improve public entity financial footnote disclosures around types of expenses in commonly presented expense categories (i.e., cost of sales; selling, general, and administrative expense; and research and development expense). The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements, but rather 1) impact where this information appears in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and 2) add additional disclosure requirements for certain expense line items appearing on the face of our consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2024-03, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing potential impacts of this standard on our business processes and future disclosures.

NOTE 4 — Organization Realignment and Restructuring

On January 29, 2024, our Board of Directors approved an organizational realignment and restructuring plan to expand support operations at our Phoenix, Arizona office. As part of this large-scale initiative, we relocated certain support center staff from our Grants Pass, Oregon headquarters to the Phoenix office. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 40% of our total support operations staff were located in Phoenix, Arizona. We have incurred total aggregate charges of approximately $19.1 million related to this initiative, consisting of (i) approximately $16.6 million in employee-related costs, including relocation, retention and transition costs, termination benefits, and duplicate transition wages and benefits; and (ii) approximately $2.5 million in other costs, including building donation, consulting fees and costs and duplicate rent. Substantially all of the estimated charges have resulted in current or expected future cash expenditures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded restructuring charges for employee-related and other costs in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

NOTE 9 — Debt

Credit Facility

On August 4, 2023, we amended our senior secured credit facility, dated February 28, 2022, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as amended, the 2022 Credit Facility) to increase borrowing capacity by $150 million to a total of $650 million. The 2022 Credit Facility consists of a $350 million revolving credit facility, a term loan facility of up to $100 million, and a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $200 million. The 2022 Credit Facility also includes sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans of up to $50 million and $15 million, respectively. The 2022 Credit Facility expires on February 28, 2027 (the Maturity Date).

On February 20, 2024 and February 4, 2025, we drew $150 million and $50 million, respectively, on our delayed draw term loan facility before these portions expired on February 28, 2024 and February 4, 2025, respectively.

Interest on borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility is based on (a) the Alternate Base Rate plus an applicable margin, or (b) the Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin, and is payable in accordance with the selected interest rate period (at least quarterly) and upon maturity. Principal payments for the term loans are required on a quarterly basis in accordance with an amortization schedule up through and including the Maturity Date.

We are required to pay a commitment fee on a quarterly basis, at a per annum rate of between 0.20% and 0.45% (depending on our maximum net lease-adjusted total leverage ratio) based on the (i) average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility, and (ii) the daily undrawn amount of the delayed draw term loan facility. These fees are recorded as interest expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The 2022 Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to not exceed a maximum net lease-adjusted total leverage ratio and maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The 2022 Credit Facility also contains certain negative covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens on assets, merge with or acquire other companies, make other investments, dispose of assets, and make restricted payments. Obligations under the 2022 Credit Facility are guaranteed by Dutch Bros OpCo and certain of its subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the guarantors.

As of March 31, 2025, no amounts were outstanding on our revolving credit facility, and $342.3 million was available for borrowing, net of $7.7 million in letters of credit, and approximately $280.9 million of principal was outstanding on the term loan facilities. The term loans bear interest at approximately 6.17% as of March 31, 2025, excluding the impact from our interest rate swap. We were in compliance with our financial covenants as of that date.

NOTE 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments

We have a receive-variable (Receive Leg), pay-fixed (Pay Leg) interest rate swap with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate swap had a notional amount of approximately $63.0 million and hedges interest rate risk on the term loan under the 2022 Credit Facility. The interest rate swap matures on February 28, 2027, and has a fixed rate of 2.67% per annum for the Pay Leg. The variable rate on the Receive Leg of the interest rate swap is the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2025, the one-month adjusted term SOFR was 4.32%.

Our interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge, and as such, we record the change in fair value for the effective portion of the interest rate swap in AOCI rather than in current period earnings until the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. As of March 31, 2025, we expect to reclassify a gain of approximately $0.8 million from AOCI to earnings within the next twelve months.

NOTE 11 — Income Taxes

(dollars in thousands)	2025			2024
Income tax expense	$	1,459		$	8,772
Effective tax rate	6.1		%	35.1		%

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was 6.1%, which reflects the US federal statutory rate of 21% on pre-tax income, offset with the tax benefits of federal tax credits, income attributable to non-controlling interests, and tax deductions related to stock-based compensation.

The decrease in the effective tax rate from 35.1% in the same period in 2024 is due to tax deductions related to stock-based compensation, as well as a change in state earnings mix that occurred in 2024.

Tax Receivable Agreements

In connection with our IPO, we executed two TRAs which require payment to certain Dutch Bros OpCo owners of 85% of the income tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize or in some cases is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of certain tax attributes and benefits covered by the TRAs.

The TRAs-related liabilities are classified on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on the expected date of payment under the captions “Current portion of tax receivable agreements liability” and “Tax receivable agreements liability, net of current portion,” respectively.

Performance-Based Stock Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we granted PSUs for the first time to a small group of senior employees. Our PSUs are subject to a three-year plus maximum 90-day service period and a market condition. The number of shares of Dutch Bros Inc.'s Class A common stock to be received at vesting range from 0% to 200% of the target amount. The payout percentage is based on TSR performance measured during a three-year performance period that commences on the grant date of any given award and ends three years from that date. TSR performance is measured based on Dutch Bros Inc.'s stock price appreciation compared to peer companies' stock price appreciation during the performance period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

NOTE 13 — Non-Controlling Interests

Dutch Bros Inc. is the sole managing member of Dutch Bros OpCo, and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of Dutch Bros OpCo. We report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in the Dutch Bros OpCo held by the other members of Dutch Bros OpCo. The OpCo LLC Agreement provides that holders of Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units may, from time to time, require Dutch Bros OpCo to redeem all or a portion of their Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units for newly issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, Dutch Bros Inc. will receive a corresponding number of Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units, increasing Dutch Bros Inc.’s total ownership in Dutch Bros OpCo. Changes in Dutch Bros Inc.’s ownership in Dutch Bros OpCo, while Dutch Bros Inc. retains its controlling interest in Dutch Bros OpCo, will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units by the other members of Dutch Bros OpCo will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in-capital.

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in Dutch Bros OpCo¹:


	March 31, 2025
(in thousands)	OpCo Units	Ownership %
Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units held by Dutch Bros Inc.	125,174	70.5	%

NOTE 15 — Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

We enter into fixed-price and price-to-be fixed green coffee purchase commitments. For both fixed-price and price-to-be fixed purchase commitments, we expect to take delivery of green coffee and to utilize the coffee in a reasonable period of time in the ordinary course of business. Such contracts are used for the normal purchases of green coffee and not for speculative purposes. We do not enter into futures contracts or other derivative instruments related to its green coffee purchase commitments.

Guarantees

We periodically provide guarantees to franchise partners for lease payments. Annually, we determine if a liability needs to be recorded related to these guarantees. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had guaranteed approximately $8.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively, in franchise partners’ lease payments and have not established a liability for these guarantees as any liability arising from the guarantees is not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to routine legal actions arising in the ordinary course of and incidental to its business. These claims, legal proceedings, and litigation principally arise from alleged casualty, employment, and other disputes.

In determining loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of such loss or liability. An estimated loss is recognized when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating litigation contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, developments in legislation or regulations that affect the validity of certain claims and defenses, the availability of appellate remedies, insurance coverage related to the claim or claims in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matter.

Any claim, proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, and an unfavorable outcome may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Liabilities Under Tax Receivable Agreements

Under the TRAs, Dutch Bros Inc. is contractually committed to pay the non-controlling interest holders 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that Dutch Bros Inc. actually realizes, or in some cases is deemed to realize, as a result of certain transactions. As of March 31, 2025, Dutch Bros Inc. recognized $799.5 million of liabilities related to its obligations under the TRAs. Refer to NOTE 11 — Income Taxes for additional information.

NOTE 16 — Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our CEO, who is the CODM, manages the segments, evaluates financial results and makes key operating decisions. Our CEO evaluates financial performance based on two operating segments, which offer distinct products and services to different customers: Company-operated shops and Franchising and other. The Company-operated shops segment includes retail coffee shop sales to end consumers. The Franchising and other segment includes bean and product sales to franchise partners, initial franchise fees, royalties, and marketing fees related to the franchise partners, as well as sales of products through our website.

Dutch Bros Inc.| Form 10-Q | 26

Table of Contents

The CODM reviews segment performance and allocates resources based upon segment contribution, which is defined as segment gross profit before depreciation and amortization. Segment contribution is used to monitor and assess segment results compared to prior periods, forecasted results, and our annual operating plan.

All segment revenue is earned in the United States. All intercompany sales amongst the Dutch Bros entities are fully eliminated in consolidation. Further, there are no intersegment revenues. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information.

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of unallocated corporate expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses include corporate administrative functions that support the segments but are not directly attributable to or managed by any segment and are not included in the reported financial results of the segments.

No changes have been made to our segments during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, no customer represented 10% or more of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Financial information for our reportable segments was as follows for the periods presented:

Overview

Dutch Bros is a high growth operator and franchisor of drive-thru shops that focus on serving high QUALITY, hand-crafted beverages with unparalleled SPEED and superior SERVICE. Founded in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, Dutch Bros began with a double-head espresso machine and a pushcart in Grants Pass, Oregon. Today, we believe that Dutch Bros is one of the fastest-growing brands in the quick service beverage industry in the United States.

Impact of Global Events

General Macroeconomic Uncertainties

As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions. Inflation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our customers may have or in the future may have less money available for discretionary purchases and may reduce or stop their purchases of our products.

On a macro level, conditions, including changes in tariffs, interest rates, inflation, bank failures and other events affecting financial institutions, geopolitical conflicts, and significant weather events (such as the recent wildfires in California), have created significant uncertainty in the global economy. While we are not able to fully predict the potential impacts of these conditions, we do not currently believe any potential impacts of these macroeconomic conditions would be material to our business.

Minimum Wage Increases

We continued to experience the effects of legislated minimum wage increases that took effect in 2024 in certain states. We expect these pressures to continue to affect our operating results in the foreseeable future. For example, California’s minimum wage increased to $20 per hour effective April 2024 for covered employees in our industry. Additionally, several other states that we operate in have increased their minimum wage requirements in 2025. While these pressures have impacted our operating results, we have taken measures to gradually increase our menu prices, adjust our Dutch Rewards loyalty program, and make operating adjustments that increase productivity to help offset them. Menu price increases may lead to decreases in consumer demand. We will continue to evaluate further pricing actions to protect our operating results, however, if there is a time lag between increasing costs and our ability to increase menu prices or take other action in response, or if we choose not to pass on the cost increases by increasing menu prices, our operating results could be negatively affected.

Results of Operations

As of March 31, 2025, we had 1,012 company-operated and franchised shops in 18 states, an increase of approximately 15.5% from the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated $355.2 million of revenue, $22.5 million net income, and $0.13 income per diluted share. We have two reportable operating segments: Company-operated shops and Franchising and other.

1 AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops that have been open a minimum of 15 months. AUVs are calculated by dividing the systemwide and company-operated shops net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations.

2 Same shop sales represents the estimated percentage change in year-over-year sales, for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer as of the first day of the reporting period. Same shop sales can be impacted by changes in customer transaction counts and by changes in the per-ticket amounts. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(unaudited)		2025	2024
Systemwide shop base		794	641
Company-operated shops base		510	370

3 Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops and are revenues to our franchise partners. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

4 Company-operated and franchise shops operating weeks are calculated based on the number of operating days for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as shops opened as of the period end date. The operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through 2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

5 Dutch Rewards is our digitally based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans.

6 Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Overview

We had cash and cash equivalents of $316.4 million and $293.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash flows from operations and our delayed draw term loan facility. Our principal uses of liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were to fund our new shop builds and other working capital needs.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	316,441	$	262,719	$	53,722	20.4%

Operating Activities

The decrease in operating activities cash flows was primarily driven by payment of higher performance-based compensation in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year.

Investing Activities

The decrease in investing activities cash outflows was primarily driven by lower investment in capital expenditures due to fewer new company-operated shop openings in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year.

Financing Activities

The decrease in financing activities cash flows was primarily driven by lower proceeds received on our delayed draw term loan facility in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year.

Cash Requirements

We believe that cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from our 2022 Credit Facility are adequate to fund our debt service requirements, lease obligations, cash distributions required by the OpCo LLC Agreement and the TRAs, and working capital obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Our future capital requirements may vary materially from period to period and will depend on many factors, primarily our expansion and growth by opening additional company-operated shops and/or reacquiring existing franchised shops. Further, the payments that we may be required to make under the TRAs may be significant. We currently expect to fund our current and long-term material capital requirements with operating cash flows and, as needed, additional proceeds from our 2022 Credit Facility, but we may also seek additional debt or equity financing. From time to time, we may explore additional financing sources which could include equity, equity‑linked, and debt financing arrangements.

As of March 31, 2025, cash requirements for the following items have materially changed from our 2024 Form 10-K:

•Operating lease liabilities — increased approximately $52 million from newly commenced leases.

•Debt obligations — increased approximately $46 million on a net basis primarily due to the proceeds from the delayed draw term loan under our 2022 Credit Facility.

(as amended, the 2022 Credit Facility) to increase borrowing capacity by $150 million to a total of $650 million. The 2022 Credit Facility consists of a $350 million revolving credit facility, a term loan facility of up to $100 million, and a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $200 million. The 2022 Credit Facility also includes sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans of up to $50 million and $15 million, respectively. The 2022 Credit Facility expires on February 28, 2027 (the Maturity Date).

On February 20, 2024 and February 4, 2025, we drew $150 million and $50 million on our delayed draw term loan facility before these portions expired on February 28, 2024 and February 4, 2025, respectively.

Obligations under the 2022 Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of Dutch Bros Inc.’s subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the guarantors.

Interest Rate Swap Contract

We have an interest rate swap with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate swap had a notional amount of approximately $63 million and hedges interest rate risk on the term loan under the 2022 Credit Facility. The purpose of the floating-to-fixed interest rate swap is to fix the interest base rate charged on the term loan at 2.67% for the notional amount. The interest rate swap matures on February 28, 2027.

See NOTE 9 — Debt and NOTE 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional details related to our 2022 Credit Facility and interest rate swap contract.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations that impact our revenue and company-operated shops gross profit margins. We typically experience higher nominal system sales in the summer months, which impacts revenue and company-operated shops gross profit margins in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, assumptions, and estimates that we use in applying our accounting policies may require us to apply judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider an accounting policy to be a critical estimate if: (1) we must make assumptions that were uncertain when the judgment was made, and (2) changes in the assumptions, or selection of a different methodology, could have a significant impact on our financial position and the results that we report in our condensed consolidated financial statements. While we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information available when the estimate was made.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with GAAP, this document contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Segment contribution

Definition and/or calculation

Segment gross profit, before depreciation and amortization.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used by our management in making performance decisions without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. This is a standard metric used across our industry by investors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA — definition and/or calculation

Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA — definition and/or calculation

Defined as EBITDA, excluding equity-based compensation, expenses associated with equity offerings, executives transitions costs, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRAs, and organization realignment and restructuring costs.

Usefulness to management and investors

These non-GAAP measures are supplemental operating performance measures we believe facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors’ operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures presented provide investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted selling, general, and administrative

Definition and/or calculation

Selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, expenses associated with equity offerings, executive transitions costs, and organization realignment and restructuring costs.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe the non-GAAP measure presented provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because it excludes items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Non-GAAP adjustments

Below are the definitions of the non-GAAP adjustments that are used in the calculation of our non-GAAP measures, as described above.

Equity-based compensation

Non-cash expenses related to the grant and vesting of stock awards, including RSAs, RSUs and PSUs, in Dutch Bros Inc. to certain eligible employees.

Expenses associated with equity offerings

Costs incurred as a result of our equity offerings, including secondary offerings by our Sponsor. These costs include, but are not limited to, legal fees, consulting fees, tax fees, and accounting fees.

Executive transitions

Employee severance and related benefit costs, as well as sign-on bonus(es) for several executive-level transitions occurring in 2022 and 2023, and amortized through the first quarter of 2024.

TRAs remeasurements

(Gain) loss impacts related to adjustments of our TRAs liabilities.

Organization realignment and restructuring

Fees and costs, including consulting, employee-related and other costs, in connection with our comprehensive initiative to develop and implement a long-term strategy involving changes to our organizational structure to support our growth. This initiative resulted in realignment activities that occurred in 2023, and restructuring activities that commenced in 2024, and were substantially completed in March 2025. Given this strategic initiative's magnitude and scope, we do not expect such costs will recur in the foreseeable future, and do not consider such costs reflective of the ongoing costs necessary to operate our business.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Risks

Our profitability is dependent on, among other things, our ability to anticipate and react to changes in the costs of key operating resources, including beverage commodities, energy, and other commodities. We have been able to partially offset cost increases resulting from several factors, including market conditions, shortages or interruptions in supply due to weather or other conditions beyond our control, governmental regulations, and inflation by increasing our menu prices over the past year, and making operational adjustments that increase productivity. However, tariffs, sustained inflation of, or substantial increases in costs and expenses, including dairy, coffee, fuel, sugar, cocoa, and packaging commodities pricing, could impact our operating results to the extent that such costs and expenses remain elevated or increase and cannot be offset by menu price increases. Additionally, if there is a time lag between increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or take other action in response, or if we choose not to pass on the cost increases by increasing menu prices, our operating results could be negatively affected.

Labor Costs

We have experienced minimum wage increases, which directly affect our labor costs, and other upward pressure on wage rates in several states, including in California beginning in April 2024. Additionally, several other states that we operate in have increased their minimum wage requirements in 2025. In the future, we may or may not be able to offset these cost increases with operational efficiencies, menu price increases, or other adjustments. As of March 31, 2025, we employed approximately 18,000 hourly workers in our company-operated shops.

Interest Rate Risk

We have historically been exposed to interest rate risk through fluctuations in interest rates on our debt obligations. Our 2022 Credit Facility carries interest at a floating rate. We seek to manage exposure to adverse interest rate changes through our normal operating and financing activities, including through the use of interest rate swaps to mitigate the potential impacts of changes in benchmark interest rates on interest expense and cash flows. As of March 31, 2025, we had no revolving loans outstanding, and $280.9 million was outstanding on our term loan facilities. A hypothetical increase of interest rates up to 1% on our outstanding term loan as of March 31, 2025 would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $2.8 million, excluding any potential impacts of interest rate swaps.

Impact of Inflation

The primary inflation factors affecting our operations are commodity and supply costs, energy costs, labor costs, and construction costs of company-operated shops. Increases in the minimum wage requirements directly affect our labor costs. Our leases require us to pay taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, and utilities, all of which are generally subject to inflationary increases. Finally, the total cost to build our shops is impacted by inflation. Specifically, increases in sitework and permitting, construction materials, labor, and equipment may increase our overall development costs and capital expenditures, and potentially result in higher rent expenses for new shops. We continue to encounter current commodity inflation, known or pending legislation that will increase minimum wages in certain states, and labor market forces that at times may cause us to increase wages in order to adequately staff our shops. We expect these to affect our operating results in the foreseeable future. While these cost increases have impacted our operating results, we have taken measures to gradually increase our menu prices, adjust our Dutch Rewards loyalty program, and make operating adjustments that increase productivity to help offset these pressures. Price increases and other inflationary pressures may lead to decreases in consumer demand.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2025, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may, from time to time, be party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As our company matures, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

Please refer to NOTE 15 — Commitments and Contingencies under the heading “Legal Proceedings” for further information.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except for the items noted below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Form 10-K. The risk factors described in our 2024 Form 10-K, as well as other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties that we face, however, are not limited to those described in the 2024 Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock.

International trade policies, including tariffs, sanctions and trade barriers may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The recent announcements of substantial new U.S. tariffs and other restrictive trade policies have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which may adversely impact our business.

Current or future tariffs or other restrictive trade measures may raise the costs of our imported green coffee beans and other goods, which may adversely impact our product offerings, operational expenses, and construction costs. Such cost increases may reduce our margins and require us to increase prices, which could harm our competitive position, reduce customer demand, and damage customer relationships. Our suppliers and distribution channels are also affected by the current trade environment, and we and they may experience supply chain disruptions as a result of increased costs and uncertainty, as well as risks to the long-term viability of key suppliers, which may impact our ability to meet customer demand or manage inventory efficiently. Tariff and other trade-related cost pressures and supply chain disruptions may lead to reputational harm if we are unable to supply our shops with sufficient products or supply products on expected timelines, or if any price increases are poorly received by customers. In addition, evolving trade policies, including tariffs and trade restrictions, may decrease consumer discretionary spending and result in decreased demand for our products.

Trade disputes, trade restrictions, tariffs and other political tensions between the U.S. and other countries may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns, which may also necessitate pricing actions and result in a negative impact on customer demand for our products, limit expansion opportunities, limit our access to capital, or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations. Ongoing tariff, trade restrictions and macroeconomic uncertainty may contribute to volatility in the price of our Class A common stock.

Ongoing uncertainty regarding trade policies may also complicate our short- and long-term strategic planning, and that of our suppliers and distributors, including decisions regarding hiring, product strategy, capital investment, supply chain design, and geographic expansion.

Dutch Bros Inc.| Form 10-Q | 44

Table of Contents

While we continue to monitor trade developments, the ultimate impact of these risks remains uncertain and any prolonged economic downturn, escalation in trade tensions, or deterioration in international perception of U.S.-based companies could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, tariffs and other trade developments have and may continue to heighten the risks related to the other risk factors described in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Legislation and regulations requiring the display and provision of nutritional information for our menu offerings, and new information, attitudes, or regulations regarding additives, diet and health or adverse opinions about the health effects of consuming our menu offerings, could affect consumer preferences and negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Government regulation and customer consumption habits may impact our business as a result of changes in attitudes regarding diet and health (including use of weight-loss or appetite-suppressing drugs) or new information regarding the health effects of consuming our menu offerings. These changes have resulted in, and may continue to result in, the enactment of laws and regulations that impact the ingredients and nutritional content of our menu offerings, or laws and regulations requiring us to disclose the nutritional content of our food offerings.

For example, a number of states, counties, and cities have enacted menu labeling laws requiring multi-unit restaurant operators to disclose certain nutritional information to customers, or have enacted legislation restricting the use of certain types of ingredients in food sold at restaurants. Furthermore, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the PPACA) establishes a uniform, federal requirement for certain restaurants to post certain nutritional information on their menus. Specifically, the PPACA amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to require certain chain restaurants to publish the total number of calories of standard menu items on menus and menu boards, along with a statement that puts this calorie information in the context of a total daily calorie intake. The PPACA also requires covered restaurants to provide to consumers, upon request, a written summary of detailed nutritional information for each standard menu item, and to provide a statement on menus and menu boards about the availability of this information. The PPACA further permits the Food and Drug Administration to require covered restaurants to make additional nutrient disclosures, such as disclosure of trans-fat content. More recently, U.S. regulatory authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration, have indicated their intent to restrict or prohibit the use of certain food dyes currently permitted for lawful use in the food supply. Should such regulatory change affect the ingredients currently used in our products and we are unable to identify or secure comparable and cost-effective alternative ingredients, such change could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. An unfavorable report on, or reaction to, our current or future menu ingredients, the size of our portions, or the nutritional content of our menu items could negatively influence the demand for our offerings.

We cannot make any assurances regarding our ability to effectively respond to changes in customer health perceptions or our ability to successfully implement nutrient content disclosure requirements or other resulting regulations, including potential regulations around the use of certain ingredients, dyes, or other additives, or to adapt our menu offerings to trends in drinking and consumption habits. The imposition of menu-labeling laws, additional restrictions on certain food additives, and such other regulations could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position, as well as the food service and restaurant industry in general.

We may be unable to identify all potential allergens present in our products at the time of purchase, whether they may have been introduced by us or by our third party vendors. This could result in the inability of some customers to purchase our products, or could result in negative health consequences for individuals sensitive to such allergens who choose to purchase our products regardless. A potentially serious allergic reaction to our products may result in negative public perception and could harm our business and results of operations.

Dutch Bros Inc.| Form 10-Q | 45

Table of Contents

In addition, social media has contributed to an increase in “secret menu” style drinks that are not created or marketed by us. Such drinks can be ordered by customers, for example, by asking for specific combinations of flavors or ingredients. We have no control over such trends, may not become timely aware of them, and may be unable to provide nutritional information for them. Such trends may also result in the mixture of ingredients in ways that could be perceived negatively, including with regard to health effects, and such perception could harm our business.
