Westrock Coffee sees sales spike 44%, net loss shrinks

Westrock Coffee reported improving results in its first quarter, thanks to growing demand for a variety of the beverages it processes.

For the quarter, Little Rock-based Westrock posted an $8.5 million net loss, sizably smaller than the $27.2 million net loss reported a year ago.

Quarterly sales leaped to $308.8 million, up 44% from $213.8 million a year ago. The company touted its improved gross profit was $45.8 million, an increase of 57.4% from a year ago.

Westrock is also spending less after major investments in its production business. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $7.1 million, down from $41.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a “structural shift in the company’s capital intensity,” Westrock leaders said.

“I am pleased to report that our first quarter delivered strong results across every dimension of our business, and that this is the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA growth,” said Scott T. Ford, Westrock Coffee CEO and co-founder. “However, the real story of the quarter is that the platform we spent three years building is now attracting the demand we envisioned, with brands coming to us not for a single SKU, but for the full spectrum of beverage partnerships across all categories.”
