Is the owner of the company purchasing a year's worth in order to keep the price they charge down, or in order to raise prices in February when their customers expect it because of the new tariffs, and pocket the difference? While having avoided paying bonuses?

If they're reputable enough and tend to operate in good faith, they could be giving their customers time to prepare for the incoming price hike. They'll probably lose customers that can't afford to operate with the new price later on but the transparency would go a long way towards maintaining healthy business relations with the remaining customers.
