Overview

Westrock Coffee Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Westrock,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is an integrated beverage solutions platform serving the world's largest brands across packaged coffee, tea, ready-to-drink coffee, energy, and functional beverage categories. With our global manufacturing and sourcing footprint, the Company formulates, manufactures, and packages beverages in cans, glass, multi-serve bottles, single-serve capsules, bulk extract, and concentrates, backed by a digitally traceable supply chain. With operations spanning 10 countries, Westrock partners with brands across retail, foodservice, convenience, consumer packaged goods (“CPG”), and hospitality to bring beverage programs to market at scale.

Our platform is built upon four fundamental pillars that enable us to positively impact the coffee, tea, flavors, extracts, and ingredients ecosystems from crop to cup: (i) we operate a transparent supply chain, (ii) we develop innovative beverage solutions tailored to our customers’ specific needs, (iii) we deliver a high quality and comprehensive set of products to our customers, and (iv) we leverage our scaled international presence to serve our blue-chip customer base. These four tenets comprise the backbone of our platform and position us as a leading provider of value-added beverage solutions. By partnering with Westrock, our customers also benefit from the benchmark-setting responsible sourcing policies and strong environmental, social, and governance focus surrounding our products, top tier consumer insights, and a differentiated product ideation process. Leading brands choose us because we are singularly positioned to meet their needs, while simultaneously driving a new standard for sustainably and responsibly sourced products.

We operate our business in two segments: Beverage Solutions and Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability (“SS&T”).

Beverage Solutions: Through this segment, we combine our product innovation and customer insights to provide value-added beverage solutions, including coffee, tea, flavors, extracts, and ingredients. We provide products in a variety of packaging, including branded and private label coffee in bags, fractional packs, single serve cups, multi-serve bottles and ready-to-drink bottles and cans, as well as extract solutions to be used in products such as cold brew and ready-to-drink offerings. Currently, we serve customers in the United States, Europe, and Asia through the retail, food service and restaurant, convenience store and travel center, non-commercial account, CPG and hospitality industries.

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 consist of sales from commodity contracts related to forward sales of green coffee.

Net Sales from our Beverage Solutions segment were $243.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increasing 16.8% compared to $208.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $28.1 million increase in the sale of flavors, extracts & ingredients products driven by a 66.6% increase in can volumes and the ramp up of glass bottle production during 2026. In addition, sales of coffee and tea products grew $7.4 million.

​

Net Sales from our SS&T segment, net of intersegment revenues, were $61.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, decreasing 14.2% compared to $72.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven primarily by a decrease in sales volume of 10.8%.

Costs of Sales

​

In our Beverage Solutions segment, costs of sales increased $36.3 million to $210.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in costs of sales was primarily driven by an increase in sales volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

In our SS&T segment, costs of sales decreased $7.9 million to $57.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in green coffee sales volume. Costs of sales in our SS&T segment for the three months ended June 30, 2026 included $0.6 million of net unrealized losses on forward sales and purchase contracts and mark-to-market adjustments on green coffee inventory compared to $1.4 million of net unrealized gains for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

​

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”).
