An announcement from Westrock Coffee ( (WEST) ) is now available.

On March 5, 2026, directors R. Brad Martin and Josie C. Natori retired from Westrock Coffee’s board, with the company emphasizing there was no disagreement over operations, policies or practices. Management credited both leaders for guiding Westrock from its de‑SPAC listing through the build‑out and commercialization of its Conway, Arkansas extracts and ready‑to‑drink facility, which they said has positioned the company for its next phase of growth.

For 2025, Westrock Coffee reported net sales of $1.2 billion, up 39.8%, but gross profit slipped 2.0% to $150.8 million and net loss widened to $90.4 million, even as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA rose to $69.7 million, reflecting ongoing Conway scale‑up costs. Segment results showed strong expansion, with Beverage Solutions revenue up 37.8% and SS&T revenue up 46.6%, while fourth‑quarter net sales jumped 48.3% to $339.5 million and the net loss narrowed slightly.

The company updated its 2026 outlook to target Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $90 million to $100 million, implying 29% to 44% growth over 2025 and signaling confidence that recent capacity investments can translate into higher margins. Management said the guidance reflects expected customer demand in the wake of industry consolidation and current trends in ready‑to‑drink glass and can volumes, underscoring Westrock’s ambition to strengthen its role as a key integrated supplier to major beverage brands.
