Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks U. S. Premium Beef, LLC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 10, 2026: 16 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • The prices and availability of key raw materials affects the profitability of its beef processing and manufacturing operations.
  • Outbreaks of disease affecting livestock can adversely affect the supply of cattle and the demand for NBP’s products.
  • If NBP’s products or products made by others using its products become contaminated or are alleged to be contaminated, NBP may be subject to product liability claims that could adversely affect its business.
  • NBP generally does not enter into long-term contracts with customers; as a result, the volumes and prices at which beef products are sold are subject to market forces.
  • NBP’s exports expose it to political and economic risks in the U.S. and foreign countries, as well as to risks related to currency fluctuations.
  • NBP incurs substantial costs to comply with environmental regulations and could incur additional costs as a result of new regulations or compliance failures that result in civil or criminal penalties, liability for damages and negative publicity.
  • NBP is subject to extensive governmental regulation and noncompliance with or changes in applicable requirements could adversely affect its business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
  • NBP’s performance depends on an adequate labor supply and favorable labor relations with its employees, in particular employees represented by collective bargaining agreements.
  • NBP faces industry-wide legal actions in connection with its business activities, and current or future legal actions may result in material liabilities and losses.
  • USPB facilitates the delivery of the cattle provided by its Class A unitholders and associates to NBP and does not have arrangements for alternative markets for its Class A unitholders and associates cattle.
  • USPB’s investment in NBP could become impaired.
  • Pandemics, such as COVID-19, and labor shortages may adversely affect NBP’s ability to keep the cattle slaughter at normal levels, the ability of USPB members to deliver cattle for processing based on their ownership of Class A units may be impacted.
The other 4 risks
  • The other members of NBP do not deliver cattle to NBP for processing, creating the possibility that the interests of those other members of NBP could conflict with the interests of USPB and its unitholders.
  • The Internal Revenue Service could assert that USPB should be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.
  • Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on USPB’s business, operating results and financial condition.
  • USPB depends on the service of key senior management personnel, the loss of which could materially harm its business.
