stringent new and future laws, regulations, and policies could negatively impact our operations.

Our products may not meet health and safety standards or could become contaminated, and we could be liable for injury, illness, or death caused by consumption of our products.

We have adopted, and are subject to, various quality, environmental, health, and safety standards for our products. However, our products may
still not meet these standards or could otherwise become contaminated. A failure to meet these standards or contamination of water could occur in our operations or those of our bottlers, distributors, or suppliers, or as a result of the acts of
third parties. This could result in expensive production interruptions, recalls, and liability claims. Product recalls have in the past and could in the future adversely affect our business by resulting in losses due to their cost, the destruction
of product inventory, or lost sales due to any unavailability of the product for a period of time. For example, BlueTriton initiated a voluntary recall of approximately 304,470 cases of spring water in July 2023 due to bromate levels exceeding
FDA’s standards. We may be liable to our customers if the consumption of any of our products causes injury, illness, or death. Moreover, negative publicity could be generated, including from false, unfounded, or nominal liability claims or
limited recalls. Any of these failures or occurrences could negatively affect our business, results of operations, or cash flows.

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities, restrict our access to water sources, and damage our reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we are, from time to time, subject to various litigation and legal proceedings. We are or may be
subject to proceedings across a variety of matters, including matters involving stockholder class actions, product liability, water rights, tax audits, unclaimed property audits and related matters, employment, and others. The outcome of litigation
and other legal proceedings and the magnitude of potential losses therefrom, particularly with respect to class action lawsuits and regulatory actions, is difficult to assess or quantify. Significant legal proceedings, including those discussed
under “Business—Legal Proceedings—Patane Litigation,” if decided adversely to us or settled by us, may require changes to our business operations that negatively impact our operating results or involve significant liability
awards that impact our financial condition. The cost to defend litigation may be significant. As a result, legal proceedings may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity
