LITTLE ROCK, Ark., USA – Westrock Coffee Company yesterday reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. Scott T. Ford, CEO and Co-founder stated, “Westrock Coffee Company had a strong third quarter despite what continues to be a challenging macroeconomic environment for the consumer.

This is the third consecutive quarter of impressive, combined segment, year over year performance, which is driven by improvements in our base business, as the Conway extract and ready-to-drink facility will not see substantive revenues until early 2025.

As it relates to the new Conway facility, the sales and customer onboarding work that the team has excelled at over the past two years is nothing short of phenomenal.

It has resulted in more than a dozen new customers who will begin placing orders in the first quarter of 2025, from whom, once fully onboarded, are expected to produce more annual Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA than the entirety of our current base business.

This is the promised earnings power of transitioning this facility from a construction and product development project to a filled and operational production plant.”
