Net Sales for the Third Quarter of 2022 Increase by 27% Compared to the Third Quarter of 2021
Net Loss of $13.0 Million and Adjusted EBITDA of $17.9 Million for the Third Quarter of 2022, Representing Adjusted EBITDA Growth of 33% Compared to the Third Quarter of 2021
Acceleration of Phase II Capital Equipment Expansion of Conway, AR Extract and RTD Facility
Strategic Acquisition of West Coast-Based Kohana Coffee Accelerates Westrock Coffee’s Extract and RTD Capabilities
Little Rock, Ark. (November 14, 2022) – Westrock Coffee Company (Nasdaq: WEST) (“Westrock Coffee” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and announced updates regarding its near and long-term extract and ready-to-drink (“RTD”) production capabilities.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights
| ● | Consolidated net sales were $230.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $49.0 million, or 27% compared to the third quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Consolidated gross profit was $41.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.9 million, or 7% compared to the third quarter of 2021. |
| ● | Net loss for the period was $13.0 million compared to a net loss of $3.9 million for the same period in 2021. The $13.0 million net loss for the third quarter of 2022 included $4.0 million of acquisition, restructuring and integration expense, $5.2 million of non-cash expense from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and $5.9 million of interest expense related to the early extinguishment of debt. |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA was $17.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.4 million, or 33% compared to the third quarter of 2021. |
| ● | At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $266 million of unrestricted cash and undrawn borrowings available under its revolving credit facility. |
Scott T. Ford, CEO and Co-founder stated, “Our third quarter results again highlight the product mix shift we are seeing across our business. The year-over-year growth in our single serve cup volumes drove Adjusted EBITDA growth of 33% in the third quarter. We held higher expectations for our core coffee and tea business but that was obviously impacted by the negative effects of inflation as both our customer volume demand and our manufacturing costs reflected the rapid acceleration of price increases in fuel, food, materials, and labor. Fortunately, we were able to partially mitigate these impacts through operational efficiencies, and we expect to recapture many of these cost increases over the next several quarters as our cost pass-through contracts typically reset six months in arrears.”
Quarterly Results
Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 2022 increased 27% to $230.3 million, compared to $181.3 million for the third quarter of 2021 due to an increase in single serve cup volume and an increase in underlying green coffee prices, partially offset by a decrease in roast and ground coffee volumes. Consolidated gross profit grew 7% to $41.1 million, compared to $38.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $13.0 million, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, and included $4.0 million of acquisition, restructuring and integration expense, $5.2 million of non-cash expense from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and $5.9 million of interest expense related to the early extinguishment of debt.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was $17.9 million, representing Adjusted EBITDA growth of 33% when compared to the prior year third quarter, driven by our increased gross profit, coupled with improved expense management, primarily driven by personnel costs savings, partially offset by higher professional fees.
Westrock Coffee’s Beverage Solutions segment contributed $173.5 million of net sales and $15.9 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $138.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2021. This represents year-over-year net sales growth of 25%, primarily driven by a 59% increase in single serve cup volumes and an increase in underlying green coffee prices, partially offset by a 9% decrease in roast and ground coffee volumes, driven in part by higher inflation impacting end-customer demand. Year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA grew 39%.
Net sales in the Company’s Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability (“SS&T”) segment, net of intersegment revenues, grew to $56.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, driven by an increase in average green coffee prices during the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021. Westrock Coffee’s SS&T segment contributed $2.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA in both the third quarter of 2022 and 2021.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $266 million of unrestricted cash and undrawn borrowings available under its revolving credit facility.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has generated $640.1 million in net sales, a net loss of $23.5 million, and $42.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA. While that represents year-over-year growth of 26% in net sales and 29% in Adjusted EBITDA, it is approximately $69.0 million in net sales and $8.4 million in Adjusted EBITDA behind where the Company previously planned to be at the end of the third quarter of 2022. Given the continued uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook, the Company is updating guidance for 2022 net sales to a range of $850.0 million to $890.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA to a range of $60.0 million to $63.0 million.
Conway Phase II Acceleration
The Company announced today that given the strong customer demand for the originally planned and announced Phase I capacity of its new Conway, Arkansas extract and RTD facility, the Company is accelerating capital spending that was originally slated for Phase II of the project into Phase I. The Company will now be adding a state-of-the-art extraction technology system, a multi-serve bottling line, and Bag-in-a-Box packaging lines to its Phase I projects that previously included a standard extraction system and high-speed glass bottle and canning lines. The Company now expects to incur approximately $275 million of capital expenditures over the next 3 years to complete the enhanced build-out of Phase I and Phase II. While not impacting guidance during fiscal 2023 or 2024, this additional $90 million in capital expenditures above the amount previously forecasted for the Conway facility, positions the Company for continued volume and Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2025 and beyond.
Renovation of the facility has begun in earnest with the Company making initial deposits on equipment and the commencement of work by the general contractor in the 524,000 square foot facility. The official ground-breaking ceremony took place on November 9, 2022. In addition, the Company has made significant progress in hiring the operations team who will manage the buildout of the facility and operate the facility once it is commissioned. This includes key hires in manufacturing, maintenance, and quality assurance. The plant is scheduled to enter commercial production in the first half of 2024.
Kohana Acquisition Highlights
The Company also announced today that it completed the acquisition of Kohana Coffee, LLC (“Kohana Coffee”). Kohana Coffee is an extract and RTD focused business in Richmond, California serving numerous retailers and CPG coffee brands.
| ● | The acquisition of Kohana Coffee allows Westrock Coffee to accelerate the development, production, and distribution of RTD products in cans and multi-serve bottles to customers of both Kohana Coffee and Westrock Coffee. |
| ● | The owners of Kohana Coffee, Jonathan Reinemund and his father, Steve Reinemund, have become shareholders of Westrock Coffee. Steve Reinemund is the former CEO of PepsiCo, Inc. |
Mr. Ford, commented, “We are thrilled to welcome the Kohana Coffee team to Westrock Coffee. The addition of Kohana Coffee will further our collective efforts to build and efficiently operate the preeminent integrated coffee, tea, flavors, extracts, and ingredients-based supply chain in the world. Their manufacturing facility on the West Coast not only adds to our RTD and multi-serve bottling capabilities, but also adds significant capacity to our extract manufacturing. Even more importantly, they have a fantastic stable of customers and a knowledgeable, experienced work force.”
Steve Reinemund said, “It is very exciting for Jonathan and me to join as shareholders of Westrock Coffee, not only for the commercial prospects that the combined business offers, but also for the measurable impact that this business has on the farmers who produce the crops upon which we all depend. Jonathan and I remain extremely bullish on the RTD coffee category and look forward to our new partnership 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, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, certain costs specifically excluded from the calculation of EBITDA under our material debt agreements, such as facility start-up costs, 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.
To the extent the Company provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance, it cannot provide a reconciliation of its forecasted non-GAAP measure to forecasted GAAP net income without unreasonable effort due to the inability to provide reliable estimates of certain items outside the Company’s control. Such items include the impacts of non-cash gains or losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments of derivatives and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, among others.
