Westrock Coffee Schedules Closing of Merger
with Riverview and Reports
Second Quarter 2022 Results
Closing of Merger with Riverview Scheduled On or About August 26, 2022
Grows Net Sales by 31% Compared to the Second Quarter of 2021
Shrinks Net Loss by 4% Compared to the Second Quarter of 2021
Grows Adjusted EBITDA by 19% Compared to the Second Quarter of 2021
Little Rock, Ark. (August 18, 2022) – Westrock Coffee Holdings, LLC (“Westrock Coffee” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights:
| • | Consolidated net sales were $223.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $52.3 million, or 31%, from the second quarter of 2021. |
| • | Net loss was $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 4%. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA was $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.1 million, or 19%, from the second quarter of 2021. |
Scott T. Ford, CEO and Co-founder, stated, “In the second quarter, we continued to see year-over-year growth in our single serve cup and extract product lines which reinforces the mix shift we are seeing across our industry and allowed us to achieve first half 2022 Adjusted EBITDA growth of 27%, compared to the first half of 2021. The combination of our traditional seasonality trends which are back half of the year weighted, and the back half of the year ramp in our Adjusted EBITDA due to the startup of significant new single serve cup volume that came online in June, sets us up for a strong 2022.”
Mr. Ford continued, “Like our customers, our results are not immune from the recent inflationary pressures experienced across the country, so we are pleased to see gasoline prices beginning to normalize. Overall, we remain very well-positioned to meet our customers’ expanding product needs in both the short and long term which should enable us to deliver corresponding strong financial results over time.”
Quarterly Results
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2022 increased 31% to $223.4 million, compared to $171.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. Net loss for the second quarter of 2022 was $5.8 million, compared to a net loss of $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 was $13.3 million, representing Adjusted EBITDA growth of 19% when compared to the prior year second quarter.
Westrock Coffee’s Beverage Solutions segment contributed $170.9 million of net sales and $12.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $134.4 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021. This represents year-over-year net sales growth of 27%, driven by a 57% increase in single serve cup and a 20% increase in flavors, extracts and ingredients volumes, and year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth of 21%.
Net sales in the Company’s Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability (“SS&T”) segment, net of intersegment revenues, grew to $52.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $36.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, driven by a 53% increase in average green coffee prices during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. Westrock Coffee’s SS&T segment contributed $0.8 million and $0.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(NASDAQ: RVAC) (“Riverview”) has scheduled a special meeting of its stockholders on August 25, 2022 to approve its previously announced business combination with Westrock Coffee.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to EBITDA and 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 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. Additionally, we use these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the performance of our segments, to make operational and financial decisions and in our budgeting and planning process. 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 “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense and the impact, which may be recurring in nature, of acquisition, 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, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, certain costs specifically excluded from the calculation of EBITDA under our material debt agreements, 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 Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures to net (loss) income because they provide additional information to evaluate our operating performance on an unleveraged basis. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated similar to defined terms in our material debt agreements used to determine compliance with specific financial covenants.
Since EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should be viewed in addition to, and not be considered as alternatives for, net (loss) income determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies that define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
