Thursday night, the company unveiled its fiscal fourth-quarter results, and also confessed to a <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2010/12/10/news/companies/green_mountain_coffee/">disappointing outlook</a> for the first quarter.</p>
<p>Specifically, Green Mountain said it banked a fourth-quarter profit of $27 million, or 20 cents per share, up from its year-ago <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/category/earnings/" class="inlinked">earnings</a> of $14.1 million, or 12 cents per share.
