However, the company\u2019s fourth-quarter revenue of $711.9 million fell well short of consensus estimate of $760.5 million, sparking a huge sell-off in after-hours trading.<\/p>\n<p>The company blamed the weaker than expected revenue on bulk distributors. However, the revenue miss is a huge disappointment for investors as Green Mountain has easily beaten revenue expectations in the previous three quarters. In the previous quarter, the company had reported revenue of $717.2 million, compared with Street estimates of $606.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>Green Mountain\u2019s profit for the fourth quarter also fell short of expectations. On a non-GAAP basis, the coffee maker reported earnings of $75.3 million, or $0.47 per share. Analysts were expecting the company to report fourth-quarter earnings of $0.48 per share. This is the first time in at least nine quarters that the company has missed consensus forecast. In the previous quarter, the company\u2019s earnings were well above Street estimates.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence Blanford, President and CEO of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, said that while like most consumer product companies, Green Mountain is watchful of broader consumer sentiment going into the holidays, the company remains confident in its growth potential. Blanford reiterated the company\u2019s fiscal year 2012 non-GAAP earnings forecast of $2.55-$2.65 per share.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts currently expect the company to report fiscal 2012 earnings of $2.62 per share. The company expects 2012 sales growth of 60%-65%.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
