Westrock Coffee Company reported third quarter 2026 net sales of $300.2 million, down from $354.8 million a year earlier, while reaffirming its 2026 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $90.0 million to $100.0 million. The company also closed an upsized refinancing of its Beverage Solutions segment on October 21, 2026, and issued preliminary 2027 guidance for Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $130.0 million.

Why it matters

The refinancing expands total commitments to $600.0 million from $425.0 million under the prior credit agreement, giving the company more borrowing capacity across its beverage business. Paired with the note repurchase and extension, the moves reshape the company's debt structure ahead of its 2027 earnings target.

Westrock reported Q3 2026 net sales of $300.2 million, down from $354.8 million a year earlier, and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA has grown year-over-year for six consecutive quarters. The new Beverage Solutions facility totals $600.0 million, up from $425.0 million, and the company repurchased $40.0 million of 2029 notes for about $20.7 million in cash.

The players

Westrock Coffee Company

A Little Rock-based coffee company whose Beverage Solutions segment is a core part of its business, operating across coffee roasting and beverage production.

Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A.

A global agricultural and food-focused bank that led the refinancing of Westrock's Beverage Solutions segment through its New York branch.

The details

The refinancing consists of a $300.0 million senior secured first lien term loan and a $300.0 million senior secured first lien revolving credit facility, led by Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch. Proceeds repaid debt under the prior credit agreement and covered related transaction costs. Westrock also repurchased $40.0 million of its 5% convertible senior notes due 2029, issued approximately 2.4 million shares of common stock in connection with those transactions, and extended the remaining $32.0 million of those notes to January 2032.

November 5, 2026: Third quarter 2026 results released.
October 2031: Credit facilities under the Credit Agreement mature.

Market Landscape

The refinancing upsizes Westrock's own prior $425.0 million credit agreement to $600.0 million, a step that expands borrowing capacity for its beverage operations. Set against the company's six straight quarters of year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth, the move signals management's confidence in funding its expansion through senior secured debt.

Operators in beverage and coffee distribution should note the expanded $600.0 million credit base as a sign of supplier financing capacity. Finance teams tracking counterparty stability may want to review the debt maturity extensions and the 2029 note conversion terms.

The takeaway

The refinancing and note extension give Westrock more debt capacity and a longer maturity runway, which matters for any operator who buys from or competes with the company. Track the company's 2027 Adjusted EBITDA results against the preliminary $130.0 million outlook when they are reported.
