Westrock attempts to mitigate the impacts of inflation and supply chain disruptions, wherever possible. Our mitigation strategies, including working with our warehouse and over the road haulage vendors, have provided us the necessary flexibility to respond to the risks, and have ensured that we have adequate access to raw materials to reliably provide our customers with the high-quality products they expect. In addition, where possible, we seek to recover inflation impacted costs by passing these costs onto our customers through periodic pricing increases. However, our pricing increases often lag our cost increases, including increases in commodity costs.see in full comparisonAt this time, it is too early to determine what impact these inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions will have on our long-term growth strategies, as there is uncertainty in how long these risks may persist, and to what extent we will be successful in passing these increased costs to our customers.
Our primary raw material green coffee is an exchange-traded agricultural commodity that is subject to price fluctuations, depending on a variety of factors, including outside speculative influences such as indexed and algorithmic commodity funds, climate patterns in coffee-producing countries, economic and political conditions affecting coffee-producing countries such as unrest and armed conflict, foreign currency fluctuations, real or perceived supply shortages, crop disease (such as coffee rust) and pests, general increase in farm inputs and costs of production, an increase in green coffee purchased and sold on a negotiated basis rather than directly on commodity markets in response to higher production costs relative to “C” market prices, acts of terrorism, pandemics or other disease outbreaks, government actions and trade barriers or tariffs, and the actions of producer organizations that have historically attempted to influence green coffee prices through agreements establishing export quotas or by otherwise limiting coffee supplies.

Elevated market prices impact the entire supply chain, as exporters, traders, suppliers and roasters require increased working capital to fund rising green coffee costs, and without having access to sufficient working capital, supply chain disruptions may emerge. Additionally, specialty green coffees tend to trade on a negotiated basis at a premium above the “C” market price. Such premium, depending on the supply and demand at the time of purchase, may be significant.

Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will continue to have an adverse effect on global temperatures, weather patterns, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Coffee growing countries have been dramatically affected by these climate changes. The rainy and dry seasons are becoming unpredictable in their start and length, which is affecting the development of coffee cherries. These weather pattern changes, by reducing agricultural productivity in certain regions, may reduce the supply and quality of important agricultural ingredients for our products and drive up their costs, and this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Water is used throughout the production of coffee and our other products from growing at the farm, cooling the beans after roasting, and brewing and bottling products for consumption. Scarcity of water sources in our supply chain could also constrain our supply and increase costs. Further, if any of our municipal water sources to our facilities, including our Conway, Arkansas facility, were curtailed or eliminated as a result of, for example, a natural disaster, work stoppage or other significant event that disrupted water flow from such municipal source, we may have to purchase water from other sources, which could increase water and transportation costs and could result in supply shortages. In addition to these impacts, more frequently occurring or longer-duration extreme weather events or increased severity of such conditions could disrupt our supply chain, damage our production capabilities and reduce demand for our products. As a result, the changing global climate could adversely affect our long-term performance.see in full comparison
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Westrock has elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards. As a result, Westrock’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates, and Westrock will incur additional costs in connection with complying with the accounting standards applicable to public companies at such time or times as they become applicable to Westrock. The Company anticipates that it will no longer be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2026 and, as a result, we will no longer be able to take advantage of the reduced disclosure and other obligations that are available to emerging growth companies after that date.see in full comparison

We may not be able to successfully buildscale outup operations or commercialize customers within the anticipated time frame following the recent opening of our new facility in Conway, Arkansas and may incur additional expenses in the process, which could hamper our ability to satisfy customer demand, meet revenue targets and generate positive operating cash flows.
In 2021, we purchased a 524,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Conway, Arkansas with the intent to build out the capacity and capabilities needed to meet our customer demand. Construction on the facility began in late 2022. Portions of the facility began commercial production in 2024,2022 and the facility is expected to bebecame fully operational in fiscal year 2025. If we do not scale up our operations and commercialize customers at the facility does not become fully operational within our anticipated timeframe, or if we incur additional expenses in the process of openingscaling thisup facility,operations, it might hamper our ability to satisfy customer demand, meet revenue targets and generate positive operating cash flows.
Our sales and distribution network requires a large investment to maintain and operate, and we rely on a limited number of production and distribution facilities. Our production capacity is currently concentrated in our Conway, Arkansas, Concord, North Carolina, North Little Rock, Arkansas and Johor Bahru, Malaysia facilities and, once it is fully operational,and a significant portion of our extract and ready-to-drink production capabilities will reside at, and a significant portion of our expected future revenues and operating cash flows will be generated by, our facility in Conway, Arkansas. If we were to experience a prolonged disruption in the operation of these facilities due to damage from fire, natural disaster, power loss, utilities interruptions, labor shortages, regulatory or food safety issues, water scarcity or a failure of production equipment or information technology systems supporting our production processes, we may not have sufficient capacity at our other facilities to meet our customers’ demands. While the Company has property and business interruption insurance for its manufacturing facility, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of the Company’s potential losses, and may not continue to be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If demand increases more than we forecast, we will need to either expand our capabilities internally or acquire additional capacity. Alternative facilities with sufficient capacity or capabilities may not be available, may cost substantially more than existing facilities or may take significant time to start production, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have a number of large national account customers and the loss of or reduction in sales to one or more of them would likely have a material adverse effect on our operating results. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our top five customers accounted for approximately 36%35% of our net sales. To the extent that we do not have written contracts with customers, they can stop purchasing our products at any time without penalty and are free to purchase products from our competitors. There can be no assurance that our customers will continue to purchase our products in the same mix or quantities or on the same terms as they have in the past. Our customers may also take actions that we cannot control or anticipate, such as changing their business strategystrategy, merging with our competitors or introducing products that may compete with ours.

Increases in the cost of green coffee may not be able to be passed through to customers, which could adversely impact our liquidity, gross margins and profitability.
Our primary raw material green coffee is an exchange-traded agricultural commodity that is subject to price fluctuations, depending on a variety of factors, including outside speculative influences such as indexed and algorithmic commodity funds, climate patterns in coffee-producing countries, economic and political conditions affecting coffee-producing countries such as unrest and armed conflict, foreign currency fluctuations, real or perceived supply shortages, crop disease (such as coffee rust) and pests, general increase in farm inputs and costs of production, an increase in green coffee purchased and sold on a negotiated basis rather than directly on commodity markets in response to higher production costs relative to “C” market prices, acts of terrorism, pandemics or other disease outbreaks, government actions and trade barriers or tariffs, and the actions of producer organizations that have historically attempted to influence green coffee prices through agreements establishing export quotas or by otherwise limiting coffee supplies. During the2024 yearand ended December 31, 2024,2025, market prices for green coffee increasedwere approximatelyelevated 70%, and from January 1, 2025 through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the “C” market price has continuedrelative to increase,historical surpassingprices, at times exceeding $4.00 per pound of green coffee,coffee reachingfor all-timesustained highs.periods of time. Elevated market prices impact the entire supply chain, as exporters, traders, suppliers and roasters require increased working capital to fund rising green coffee costs, and without having access to sufficient working capital, supply chain disruptions may emerge. Additionally, specialty green coffees tend to trade on a negotiated basis at a premium above the “C” market price. Such premium, depending on the supply and demand at the time of purchase, may be significant.
We have historically utilized, and expect to continue to utilize, various types of derivative instruments, including forward contracts, commodity swaps, futures contracts, and option contracts to hedge our exposure to the commodities price variability of green coffee. Our hedging strategy is an important part of our business model as it allows us to fix raw materials costs for inventory needed to grow our business, while minimizing the margin volatility associated with fluctuations in the prices of green coffee. As part of that strategy, we track the spread between sales price and material costs as a means of determining the efficiency of our pricing strategy. While our derivatives strategy may mitigate the impacts of volatile green coffee prices, no strategy can eliminate all pricing risks, and we generally remain exposed to supply risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties in any one of our physical contracts. Failure to properly execute an effective hedging strategy with respect to the price of green coffee may materially adversely affect our business and operating results.
Fluctuations in other commodity prices and in the availability of certain of our ingredients and packaging materials could negatively affect our liquidity, gross margins and profitability.
In addition to green coffee, our other commodity inputs are also exposed to the risk of cost fluctuations. These inputs include tea, spices, sugar, dairy and the materials used in our packaging, such as carton board and plastic. Although these commodities may be available from a number of sources, we have very little control over the factors that can influence the prices we pay, including economic and political conditions, foreign currency fluctuations, transportation and storage costs, export restrictions, weather conditions and global climate patterns, and natural disasters (including floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes and hurricanes). In addition, some of our ingredients and packaging materials may only be available from a single or few suppliers, which could exacerbate those factors. Changes in the prices we pay may take place on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis depending on the product and supplier. We currently do not purchase any derivative instruments to hedge cost fluctuations in these other commodities like we do with respect to green coffee, but we may do so in the future. As a result, to the extent we are unable to pass along such costs through price increases, our margins and profitability will decrease. High and volatile commodity prices can also place more pressures on short-term working capital funding. Additionally, if as a result of these factors, we are unable to obtain these commodities, we may not be able to fulfill the demand for our products, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial results.
We are subject to risks associated with operating a coffee trading business and a coffee exporting business,trading, including those associated with the availability and prices of green coffee.
Falcon, our coffee trading business headquartered in the United Kingdom, operates as a separate subsidiary, and we maintain a coffee exporting business in Peru. RTC, our coffee exporting business headquartered in Rwanda, is also operated as a separate subsidiary. As a purchaser and reseller of coffee, Falcon engages in commodity hedging and is reliant on third-party logistics suppliers to fulfill its commitments. Disruptions in Falcon’s supply chain could result in the failure to deliver on commitments, which could adversely impact Falcon’s business, cash flows and financial performance. Both RTC and Falcon relyrelies on third party financing sources to purchase coffee for resale, and in each case, the failure to maintain an adequate source of working capital would have a material adverse impact on theirits respective businesses,business, cash flows and financial performance. The availability and prices of green coffee are subject to wide fluctuations, including impacts from factors outside of our control such as changes in weather conditions, climate change, rising sea levels, crop disease, plantings, government programs and policies, competition, and changes in global demand. These price fluctuations can adversely affect theFalcon’s business of each of Falcon and RTC.business.
Our business depends on our relations with key suppliers to maintain a steady supply of green coffee, tea, and other ingredients and packaging materials. If any of these supply relationships deteriorate or we are unable to renegotiate contracts with suppliers (with similar or more favorable terms) or find alternative sources for supply, we may be unable to procure a sufficient quantity of high-quality coffee beans, tea and other ingredients and raw materials at prices acceptable to us or at all which could negatively affect our results of operations. Nonperformance by suppliers and the lack of alternative suppliers could expose us to supply risk under purchase commitments for coffee, tea, and other ingredients for delivery in the future. Further, there may be a limited numbers of suppliers for certain ingredients, and, as a result of this concentration, our business and operations may in the future be negatively affected if our key suppliers experience significant disruptions affecting the price, quality, availability or timely delivery of their products, we suffer a partial or complete loss of, or a significant adverse change in the relationship with, any one of our key suppliers or any key suppliers refuse or are unable to provide us with necessary ingredients and raw materials. Additionally, supply is affected by many factors in the coffee-growing countries including weather, pest damage, economic conditions, acts of terrorism, as well as efforts by coffee growers to expand or form cartels or associations. Our operations are also exposed to the political and social environment of the emerging and less developed markets from which we source coffee beans, including Africa, Indonesia, and Central and South America. These regions currently have and have the potential for future civil and political unrest, and such instability could affect our ability to purchase coffee from those regions. If green coffee beans from a region become unavailable or prohibitively expensive, we could be forced to use alternative coffee beans or discontinue certain blends, which could adversely impact our sales. Any material interruption in our supply chain, such as material interruption of roasted coffee supply due to the casualty loss at any of our roasting plants or suppliers, interruptions in service by our third-party logistic service providers or common carriers that ship goods within our distribution channels, trade restrictions, such as increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes or customs restrictions, pandemics, social or labor unrest, natural disasters or political disputes and military conflicts that cause a material disruption in our supply chain could have a negative impact on our business and our profitability. Product shortages could result in disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers, a deterioration of our relationship with our customers, decreased revenues or an inability to expand our business.
Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will continue to have an adverse effect on global temperatures, weather patterns, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Coffee growing countries have been dramatically affected by these climate changes. The rainy and dry seasons are becoming unpredictable in their start and length, which is affecting the development of coffee cherries.

As a result, the changing global climate could adversely affect our long-term performance.
The coffee and tea market is subject to some seasonal variations. Sales of hot coffee products are typically higher during the winter months compared to the summer months. Most of our customers define “coffee season” as mid-September through April.February. However, sales of cold brew, iced tea and extract products from March through August helps mitigate the impact of seasonality. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate as a result of these seasonal trends. If we are unable to adjust our production to these seasonal variations, we may not be able to fulfill demand for our products or we may overproduce our products, either of which could adversely affect our performance.
Westrock attempts to mitigate the impacts of inflation and supply chain disruptions, wherever possible. Our mitigation strategies, including working with our warehouse and over the road haulage vendors, have provided us the necessary flexibility to respond to the risks, and have ensured that we have adequate access to raw materials to reliably provide our customers with the high-quality products they expect. In addition, where possible, we seek to recover inflation impacted costs by passing these costs onto our customers through periodic pricing increases.

At this time, it is too early to determine what impact these inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions will have on our long-term growth strategies, as there is uncertainty in how long these risks may persist, and to what extent we will be successful in passing these increased costs to our customers.

Westrock Coffee Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Westrock,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a leading integrated coffee, tea, flavors, extracts, and ingredients solutions provider in the United States, providing coffee sourcing, supply chain management, product development, roasting, packaging, and distribution services to the retail, food service and restaurant, convenience store and travel center, noncommercialnon-commercial account, CPG,consumer packaged goods (“CPG”), and hospitality industries around the world.
We operatemanage our business in two operating segments: Beverage Solutions and Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability (“SS&T”).
Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability: Through this segment, we utilize our proprietary technology and digitally traceable supply chain to directly impact and improve the lives of our farming partners, provide tangible economic empowerment and emphasize environmental accountability and farmer literacy. Revenues primarily relateconsist of sales from commodity contracts related to the physical delivery and settlement of forward sales contracts forof green coffee.
We refer to EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in our analysis of our results of operations, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). While we believe that net (loss) income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure, we also believe that EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance as they contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the Company’s future operating performance and comparisons to the Company’s past operating performance. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate the Company’s operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance.
We define “EBITDA” as net (loss) income, as defined by GAAP, before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense and the impact, which may be recurring in nature, of transaction, restructuring and integration related costs, including management services and consulting agreements entered into in connection with the acquisition of S&D Coffee, Inc., impairment charges, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, certain non-capitalizable costs necessary to place the Conway extract and ready-to-drink facility into commercial production, the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs, costs incurred as a result of the early repayment of debt, gains or losses on dispositions, and other similar or infrequent items (although we may not have had such charges in the periods presented). We believe EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures to net (loss) income because they provide additional information to evaluate our operating performance on an unleveraged basis.
The reconciliation of our net (loss) income to EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
Refer to footnote 20 of Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for information regarding our reportable segments, including disclosures of the Company’s segment performance measure.

Equity Method Investment and De-Consolidation of Rwanda Trading Company
On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with ETC Holdings SA (“ECOM”) that combines Westrock’s and ECOM’s Rwandan export operations (the “Rwandan JV”). This strategic partnership, which was established to trade Arabica coffee from Rwanda and commercially operate wet mill and storage facilities, allows Westrock to scale its operations in Rwanda, improve profitability, and strengthen our ability to provide smallholder farmers and their families the ability to advance their quality of life and economic well-being. The Company contributed its ownership interest in Rwanda Trading Company (“RTC”) and $100,000 in cash in exchange for a 49.9% ownership interest in the Rwandan JV. As a result of the transaction, the Company de-consolidated RTC, de-recognizing $9.3 million of assets, including approximately $2.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $10.3 million of liabilities that were previously reported within our SS&T segment. Upon de-consolidation, the Company recognized a $2.3 million gain, which is recorded in other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Truist Securities, Inc. (the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may from time to time offer and sell Common Shares not to exceed 5,000,000 Common Shares in the aggregate (the “Placement Securities”) through the Agents as part of an “at the market” offering program (the “ATM Program”). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold 1,909,676 Common Shares under the ATM Program. At December 31, 2025, there were 3,030,324 of remining shares authorized to be sold under the ATM Program.
The offer and sale of the Placement Securities will be made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274827) that was declared effective by the SEC on November 17, 2023, and a related prospectus supplement, which the Company filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024.
The Company is not obligated to sell any Placement Securities pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Agents have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, to sell Placement Securities from time to time in accordance with the Company’s placement notice, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may deem appropriate.
Under the Equity Distribution Agreement and subject to the terms of the placement notice delivered by the Company, an Agent may sell Placement Securities by (x) any method permitted by law and deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to prevailing market prices, on any other existing trading market for the Common Shares or to or through a market maker, and (y) any other method permitted by law, including but not limited to in privately negotiated transactions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may also from time to time sell Placement Securities to an Agent as principal.
The Equity Distribution Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time by either the Company or any of the Agents upon ten days’ prior written notice to the other parties, or by the Agents at any time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company. In addition, the Equity Distribution Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earlier of (1) two years from the date of the Equity Distribution Agreement and (2) the issuance and sale of all of the Placement Securities through the Agents.
The Company will pay each Agent a commission of 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the sales of Common Shares sold by such Agent pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement. The Company has agreed to provide the Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has agreed to pay certain specified expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with the offering. The Equity Distribution Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the placements of the Placement Securities pursuant thereto.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 60,000 Common Shares under the ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds of $0.6 million. This program is intended to provide additional financial flexibility and an alternative mechanism to access the capital markets at an efficient cost as and when we need financing, including for acquisitions.
Restructuring Activities
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company committed to a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations in its Beverage Solutions segment, which resulted in the closure and sale of its West Winds manufacturing facility in Concord, North Carolina, and the closure of its manufacturing facility in Richmond, California. All production from the impacted facilities was consolidated into other facilities operated by the Company in Concord, North Carolina and Conway, Arkansas.
The closure of the West Winds facility was completed as of June 30, 2024, and the Company completed the sale of the associated land and buildings during the fourth quarter of 2024, recognizing a $3.4 million gain, which is recorded in (gain) loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Production in our Richmond, California facility ceased during the third quarter of 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $5.6 million and $0.1 million of impairment charges on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, respectively, as a result of the consolidation of manufacturing facilities, which are recorded in impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimates total charges related to the plant consolidations of approximately $4.0 million, of which $3.1 million have been incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024. These charges primarily relate to costs to remove and re-install production equipment into other manufacturing facilities.
In addition, during the second quarter of 2024, the Company committed to targeted restructuring activities to improve operational efficiency by reducing excess workforce capacity. As a result of this reduction, and the impacts of the consolidation of manufacturing facilities noted above, the Company recognized approximately $4.7 million of one-time employee severance costs during the year ended December 31, 2024, which are recorded in transaction, restructuring and integration expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At December 31, 2024, approximately $0.6 million of such termination benefits were accrued for within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion related to the restructuring activities.
On August 21, 2024, Falcon Coffees Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, amended its working capital trade finance facility. The amendment increased the facility size from $55.0 million to $75.0 million. The interest rates and maturity date were unchanged as a result of the amendment. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion related to the working capital trade finance facility.
On March 7, 2025, Falcon Coffees Limited (“Falcon”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, renewed its working capital trade finance facility with multiple institutions. The facility size was increased from $75.0 million to $85.0 million and remains uncommitted and repayable on demand, with certain of Falcon’s assets pledged as collateral against the facility. The facility will mature one year from inception. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at the borrower’s option at a rate equal to (a) Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00% plus a liquidity premium set by the lender at the time of borrowing or (b) the Base Rate (determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, (ii) one-half of 1.00% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect at such time plus 1.00%).
On July 23, 2025, Falcon amended its working capital trade finance facility with multiple institutions. The facility size was increased from $85.0 million to $102.5 million and remains uncommitted and repayable on demand, with certain of Falcon’s assets pledged as collateral against the facility.
On December 16, 2025, Falcon amended its working capital trade finance facility with responsAbility Climate Smart Agriculture & Food Systems Fund. The amendment extended the maturity date on the then remaining outstanding balance of $3.5 million to March 31, 2028, and requires stepped repayments of $1.0 million during 2026, $2.0 million during 2027 and $0.5 million on March 31, 2028. On December 16, 2025, Falcon obtained an additional $2.9 million loan with responsAbility Climate Smart Agriculture & Food Systems Fund. The facility will mature on December 31, 2028 and requires stepped repayments of $2.9 million throughout 2028.
On March 5, 2026, Falcon renewed its working capital trade finance facility with multiple institutions. The facility size was increased from $102.5 million to $110.0 million and remains uncommitted and repayable on demand, with certain of Falcon’s assets pledged as collateral against the facility. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion related to Falcon’s working capital trade finance facility.
Warrant Exchange
On August 28, 2024, the Company announced that it had commenced an exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding (i) public warrants to purchase Common Shares, which warrants trade on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “WESTW” (the “Westrock Public Warrants”), and (ii) private placement warrants to purchase Common Shares (the “Westrock Private Warrants” and, together with the Westrock Public Warrants, the “Westrock Warrants”). The Company offered to all holders of the Westrock Warrants the opportunity to receive 0.290 Common Shares in exchange for each of the Westrock Warrants tendered pursuant to the Offer. Concurrently with the Offer, the Company also solicited consents from the holders of each of the Westrock Public Warrants and the Westrock Private Warrants to amend that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2022, by and between the Company and Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”), which governs all of the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), to permit the Company to require that (x) each Westrock Public Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.261 Common Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer and (y) each Westrock Private Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.261 Common Shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”).
The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired on September 26, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”). As of the Expiration Date, (x) 16,676,541 outstanding Westrock Public Warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer and Consent Solicitation, representing approximately 97.42% of the Westrock Public Warrants and (y) 2,026,046 outstanding Westrock Private Warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer and Consent Solicitation, representing 100% of the Westrock Private Warrants. On September 30, 2024, the Company issued 5,423,681 Common Shares in exchange for the tendered Westrock Warrants.
In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of holders of approximately 97.42% of the outstanding Westrock Public Warrants and 100% of the outstanding Westrock Private Warrants to adopt the Warrant Amendment, which exceeded (x) the 50% threshold of the outstanding Westrock Public Warrants required to amend the Warrant Agreement with respect to the Westrock Public Warrants and (y) the 50% threshold of the outstanding Westrock Private Warrants required to amend the Warrant Agreement with respect to the Westrock Private Warrants. Accordingly, the Company and the Warrant Agent entered into the Warrant Amendment, dated September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company announced that it would exercise its right, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, to exchange each Westrock Public Warrant that is outstanding following the closing of the Offer for 0.261 Common Shares per warrant (the “Post-Offer Exchange”). In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, was paid in cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by $6.74. The Company fixed the date for the Post-Offer Exchange as October 15, 2024. On October 16, 2024, the Company issued 115,220 Common Shares for the untendered Westrock Public Warrants. Following the completion of the Offer and Post-Offer Exchange, no Westrock Warrants remain outstanding. Accordingly, the Westrock Public Warrants were suspended from trading on Nasdaq as of the close of business on October 15, 2024, and were delisted.
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Net Sales from our Beverage Solutions segment were $908.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $659.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, increasing 37.8%. The increase was primarily due to a $184.0 million increase in the sale of coffee and tea products, driven by a 28.7% increase in single serve cup volumes, a 6.4% increase in core roast and ground coffee volumes and the year over year growth in coffee commodity prices and tariffs, both of which are passed through to our customers. In addition, sales of flavors, extracts & ingredients products increased $66.9 million, driven by the ramp up in operations of our Conway, Arkansas extract and ready-to-drink manufacturing facility (the “Conway Facility”). The Company notes that the single serve volumes have increased during 2025 in part due to the onboarding of a new customer. This customer is currently involved in a pending transaction in which it would be acquired by a competitor of ours within the coffee industry, which has created uncertainty around this customer’s near-term single serve cup commitments. As a result, there can be no assurances that single serve cup volumes reported during the year ended December 31, 2025 will be achieved in future periods, which could negatively impact net sales from our Beverage Solutions segment.
Net Sales from our SS&T segment totaled $280.5 million, net of intersegment revenues, during the year ended December 31, 2025, increasing 46.6% compared to $191.3 million, net of intersegment revenues, during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by an increase in the average sales price per pound, which increased 48.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in the average sales price per pound is directly correlated to the global commodity price.

In our SS&T segment, costs of sales increased $88.6 million or 52.3% to $258.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $55.7 million compared to $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Interest expense associated with our term loan and delayed draw term loan facilities decreased $2.2 million due to a decrease in outstanding balances, while interest on our revolving credit facility increased $7.2 million, primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company capitalized approximately $1.0 million of interest costs associated with the build-out of our Conway Facility, compared to $11.7 million of such interest costs for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Warrant liabilities are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period, with any change in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $7.0 million of gains related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Total selling, general and administrative expense in our Beverage Solutions segment increased $39.3 million to $173.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to a $30.6 million increase in expenses associated with ourthe extractConway and ready-to-drink facility in Conway, ArkansasFacility and a $6.7 million increase in personnel-related costs. In our SS&T segment, selling, general and administrative costs increased $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in personnel-related costs compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $33.9 million compared to $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Cash interest increased $13.6 million and is attributable to increased interest associated with our term loan and delayed draw term loan facilities, primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings, $3.2 million of interest on our 2029 Convertible Notes that were issued in February of 2024, and $4.1 million of increased interest expense associated with our supply chain financing program, due to increased average borrowings outstanding in 2024 compared to 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company capitalized approximately $11.7 million of interest costs associated with the build out of ourthe extractConway and ready-to-drink facility in Conway, Arkansas,Facility, compared to $3.2 million of such interest for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The increase was primarily due to a $49.9 million increase in the sale of flavors, extracts and ingredients products, driven by a 16.0% increase in flavors, extracts and ingredients volumes, partially offset by a $10.4 million decrease in the sale of coffee and tea products, driven by a 9.0% decrease in roast and ground coffee volumes and a 5.6% decrease in tea volumes.

The decrease is driven by a 20.6% decrease in sales volume, as a result of a decrease in customer demand.
In our Beverage Solutions segment, costs of sales increased $52.4 million to $597.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $544.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In our SS&T segment, costs of sales decreased $42.6 million to $127.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Green coffee, which is our primary raw material, is an exchange traded agricultural commodity that is subject to price fluctuations, the reasons for which are outside of the control of the Company. In recent years, market prices for green coffee have been elevated relative to historical prices, at times exceeding $4.00 per pound of green coffee for sustained periods of timetime, and continue to fluctuate. Elevated market prices impact the entire supply chain, as exporters, traders, suppliers, and roasters require increased working capital to fund rising green coffee costs, and without having access to sufficient working capital, supply chain disruptions may emerge.
The Company is party to a credit agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, Westrock Beverage Solutions, LLC, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, and swingline lender, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sustainability structuring agent, and each issuing bank and lender party thereto.

The Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility will mature on August 29, 2027. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Borrower’s domestic subsidiaries, which comprise our Beverage Solutions segment, and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $165.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.7%,7.2%, and we had $2.0 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the interest rate applicable to our Term Loan Facility was 7.7%,7.2%, and the interest rate applicable to our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility was 7.6%.7.1%.

In addition, the Fifth Amendment lowered the interest coverage ratio that the Company must comply with to permit the interest coverage ratio as of the last day of any test period to be less than (a) on and prior to December 31, 2025, 1.50x, (b) on January 1, 2026 and on or prior to September 30, 2026, 1.75x and (c) on October 1, 2026 and thereafter, 2.00x. The Credit Agreement also includes (i) a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the Borrower not to permit its liquidity, measured as of the last business day of each calendar month commencing March 29, 2024, to be less than $15 million and (ii) an anti-cash hoarding covenant, which shall be effective only during the Covenant Relief Period, requiring the Borrower to have no more than $20 million of unrestricted cash on the last day of each calendar month when revolving loans or letters of credit are outstanding or on the date of borrowing of a revolving loan. The minimum liquidity covenant will not apply after the Covenant Relief Period ends. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
On June 30, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment extends the maturity date of approximately $360.7 million of the loans and commitments under its credit facilities from August 29, 2027 to November 29, 2028 and makes certain restricted payments subject to the secured net leverage ratio being no greater than 3.75x and liquidity being no less than $25.0 million, in each case on a pro forma basis. Approximately $25.8 million of the loans and commitments under its credit facilities will continue to mature on August 29, 2027. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, Texas Capital Bank has also become a lender.
In addition, on June 30, 2026, the Borrower elected to terminate the Covenant Relief Period under the Credit Agreement prior to its scheduled expiration on October 1, 2026. As a result, the applicable margin on any loans will decrease, certain restrictions limited to the covenant relief period will no longer apply, and the maximum permitted secured net leverage ratio under the secured net leverage ratio financial covenant decreased from 5.00x to 4.00x for the test period ended June 30, 2026, and from 4.50x to 4.00x for the test period ending September 30, 2026. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
The Company believes that its secured net leverage under the Credit Agreement is important to the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and liquidity. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company’s secured net leverage ratio was 3.453.36:1.00, compared to a maximum allowable ratio of 5.254.00:1.00, with such calculation set forth below:

The 2029 Convertible Notes and 2031 Convertible Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The 2029 Convertible Notes and 2031 Convertible Notes contain customary terms regarding events of default. If any event of default (other than certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company) occurs and is continuing, then each noteholder may, by written notice to the Company, declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, such noteholder’s 2029 Convertible Notes and/or 2031 Convertible Notes to become due and payable immediately. If an event of default involving certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2029 Convertible Notes and/or 2031 Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person.
During 2025, Falcon Coffees Limited (“Falcon”), our subsidiary, renewed its working capital trade finance facility with multiple institutions, increasing the facility size from $75.0 million to $85.0 million on March 7, 2025 and from $85.0 million to $102.5 million on July 23, 2025.

The facility remains uncommitted and repayable on demand, with certain of Falcon’s assets pledged as collateral against the facility. The facility will mature one year from inception. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the borrower’s option at a rate equal to (a) Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00% plus a liquidity premium set by the lender at the time of borrowing or (b) the Basebase Raterate (determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, (ii) one-half of 1.00% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect at such time plus 1.00%).

The Company is party to a supply chain finance program (the “Program”) with a third-party financing provider to provide better working capital usage by deferring payments for certain raw materials of up to $100.0 million. Under the Program, the financing provider remits payment to the Company’s suppliers for approved invoices, and the Company repays the financing provider the amount of the approved invoices, plus a financing charge, on 180-day terms. The Program is uncommitted, and the financing provider may, at its sole discretion, cancel the Program at any time. The Company may request cancellation of the Program in whole or in respect of one or more approved suppliers. Due to the extension of payment terms beyond the original due date of approved invoices, obligations under the Program are recorded outside of accounts payable, within our supply chain finance program, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, there were $99.8$97.5 million obligations outstanding under the Program.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company received cash proceeds of $78.6$152.4 million related to the sale of receivables under the Factoring Agreement, remitted approximately $85.5$159.3 million of customer payments to the Factor, and incurred approximately $0.3$0.8 million of fees associated with these sales, which are recorded within selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company is party to a master commodity purchase and sale agreement (the “Commodity Program”) with a third-party financing provider whereby the Company may enter into commodities purchase and sales, including transactions in which the Company sells green coffee to the financing provider, but retains a right, or obligation, to re-purchase the green coffee at the original sales price, plus a finance charge (“Repo Transactions”). The Commodity Program is uncommitted and may be canceled by the financing provider at any time. At MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a right, or obligation, to repurchase $7.1$3.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of green coffee from the financing provider. The liability for Repo Transactions is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash flows related to Repo Transactions are reported as financing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
We have an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”) to offer and sell various securities from time to time. Under the Registration Statement, we have established an at-the-market common stock offering program (the “ATM Program”) to sell shares of common stock not to exceed 5,000,000 Common Shares in the aggregate. This program is intended to provide additional financial flexibility and an alternative mechanism to access the capital markets at an efficient cost as and when we need financing, including for acquisitions. During the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025,2026, the Company had no sales of Common Shares under the ATM Program. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, there were 3,030,324 of remaining shares authorized to be sold under the ATM Program.
The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, as defined in Note 10, will mature on August 29, 2027 (the “Upcoming Maturity”). While the Upcoming Maturity is classified as long-term debt, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026, these obligations will transition to a current liability within the next four months. The Company has initiated refinancing discussions with a variety of potential partners to address the Upcoming Maturity. These efforts may include, but are not limited to, the amendment of the existing Credit Agreement, the issuance of new debt securities, or the pursuit of alternative equity or debt financing arrangements.
While the exact timing and final terms of such a refinancing are subject to market conditions and cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company expects to complete a refinancing or replacement of this obligation prior to the debt becoming due within one year. There is no assurance that these refinancing efforts will be successful or available on terms acceptable to the Company; however, the Company is actively engaged with financial advisors and prospective lenders to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained to meet its obligations as they become due.
After February 26, 2028, any holder of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares may require Westrock to redeem all or any whole number of such holder’s Westrock Series A Preferred Shares in cash, subject to applicable law and the terms of any credit agreement or similar arrangement pursuant to which a third-party lender provides debt financing to Westrock or its subsidiaries, at a redemption price per share equal to the greater of (a) the liquidation preference and (b) the product of (i) the number of Common Shares that would have been obtained from converting one Westrock Series A Preferred Share on the redemption notice date and (ii) the simple average of the daily volume-weighted average price per Common Share for the ten (10) trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the redemption notice date. Assuming that the liquidation preference of the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares remains $11.50 per share and all 23,510,527 Westrock Series A Preferred Shares outstanding at June 30, 2026 remain outstanding after February 26, 2028, we estimate an aggregate redemption payment of at least approximately $270.4 million. If Westrock was required by the holders to redeem a significant number of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares, Westrock may not have enough cash available (including through draws on its credit facility) for other purposes such as paying dividends on the Common Shares, purchasing Common Shares, financing acquisitions or other expansions, paying employee incentives and/or executing its business strategy. An outflow of a significant amount of cash from Westrock as a result of redemptions of the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares may cause a deterioration in the financial condition of Westrock and our ability to pay our other obligations and/or execute our business strategy. The impact of such redemptions on Westrock will depend, among other things, on the financial condition of Westrock at the time of such redemptions, including the amount of available cash on hand and ability to draw on Westrock’s credit facilities or obtain other sources of financing, the business strategies and objectives of Westrock at that time and the magnitude of such redemptions. Additionally, we may reserve cash, refrain from pursuing other business objectives and/or direct cash away from other business objectives to ensure that we have sufficient available cash to satisfy holder redemptions, and this may adversely affect our business and financial condition and ability to execute on our business strategy.
Future purchase obligations of $414.8$292.3 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 consist of commitments for the purchase of inventory over the next 12 months. These obligations represent the minimum contractual obligations expected under the normal course of business. There are no material purchase obligations beyond 12 months.
At MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had a right or obligation to repurchase $7.1$3.5 million of inventory associated with Repo Transactions, for which the liability is recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
