Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks MGP INGREDIENTS INC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 36 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • COMMERCIAL, COMPETITION, AND INDUSTRY RISKS
  • Changes in consumer preferences and purchases, and our ability to anticipate or react to them, could negatively affect our business results.
  • The markets for our products are very competitive, and our business could be negatively affected if we do not compete effectively. We may also be negatively impacted by industry dynamics and market conditions.
  • Unfavorable economic conditions could negatively affect our business and financial results.
  • Damage to our reputation, or that of any of our key customers or their products, could affect our business performance.
  • A failure to introduce successful new brands and products or have effective marketing or advertising could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • A change in public opinion about alcohol or our products could reduce demand for our brands and products.
  • Failure of our distributors to distribute our branded spirits adequately within their territories could adversely affect our business.
  • Our focus on higher margin specialty ingredients may make us more reliant on fewer, more profitable customer relationships.
  • OPERATIONAL RISKS
  • An interruption of operations or a catastrophic event at our facilities could negatively affect our business.
  • We have made significant investment in the aging of barreled distillate. Decisions concerning the quantity of maturing stock of our aged distillate could materially affect our future profitability.
The other 26 risks
  • The inability to successfully complete our capital projects or fund necessary capital expenditures could adversely impact us. Warehouse expansion issues could negatively impact our operations and our business.
  • We have a high concentration of certain raw material and finished goods purchases from a limited number of suppliers, which exposes us to risk.
  • Work disruptions or stoppages by our unionized workforce could cause interruptions in our operations.
  • Climate change, or legal, regulatory, or market measures to address climate change, may negatively affect our business or operations, and water scarcity or quality could negatively impact our production costs and capacity.
  • LEGAL, REGULATORY, AND COMPLIANCE RISKS
  • We are subject to extensive regulation and taxation, as well as compliance with existing or future laws and regulations, which may require us to incur substantial expenditures.
  • Tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries, as well as rapidly changing trade relations, could negatively impact our customers and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • Changes in excise taxes, incentives, and customs duties related to products containing alcohol could adversely affect our business.
  • We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.
  • Failure of our branded spirits to secure and maintain listings in control states could adversely affect our business.
  • Significant additional labeling or warning requirements or limitations on the availability of our products could inhibit sales of affected products.
  • Product recalls or other product liability claims could materially and negatively affect our business.
  • Failure to comply with anti-corruption laws, trade sanctions, and restrictions, or similar laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
  • We are, and from time to time may become, subject to litigation, and adverse outcomes in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • RISKS RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE
  • Common Stockholders have limited rights under our Articles of Incorporation.
  • We have various mechanisms in place to discourage takeover attempts, which may reduce or eliminate stockholders’ ability to sell their shares for a premium in a change of control transaction. In addition, we could issue additional shares of Common Stock, which could adversely impact the market price of our Common Stock.
  • GENERAL RISKS
  • Higher costs or unavailability of raw materials, product ingredients, energy resources, or labor could adversely affect our financial results.
  • A failure of one or more of our key information technology (“IT”) systems, networks, processes, associated sites, or service providers could have a negative impact on our business.
  • We may not be able to successfully implement our strategies.
  • An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.
  • If we were to lose any of our key personnel, we may not be able to fully implement our strategic plan, and our system of internal controls could be impacted.
  • We may be required to recognize impairment charges that could negatively affect our financial results.
  • Our global business is subject to commercial, political, and financial risks.
  • imposed by the U.S. and other countries, as well as rapidly changing trade relations, could negatively impact our customers and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • Covenants and other provisions in our credit arrangements could hinder our ability to operate. Our failure to comply with covenants in our credit arrangements could result in the acceleration of the debt extended under such agreements, limit our liquidity, and trigger other rights of our lenders.
  • Pandemics or other health crises could disrupt or otherwise negatively impact our operations, including the demand for our products and our ability to produce and deliver our products.
  • Cash dividends and share repurchases are subject to uncertainties which could affect the price of our Common Stock.
