Commenting on our results, Scott T. Ford, CEO and Co-founder stated, "Westrock Coffee's value proposition in the market is to be the premiere integrated strategic supplier to the pre-eminent coffee, tea, and energy beverage brands globally. And, in 2024 we made considerable progress executing against this strategy as evidenced by the dozen new major brands that we began to provide product development and manufacturing services to. These relationships helped us exit 2024 with 4Q Segment Adjusted EBITDA growth in both our reportable segments of over 50%, and leaves us poised for more of the same over the next couple of years as the major new contracts we have recently won begin to flow through the new $400 million manufacturing complex in Conway, Arkansas that comes online at scaled production levels this month."

Upsizing of Revolving Credit Facility
On January 15, 2025, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to its credit agreement. The Amendment expanded the bank syndicate to include members from the Farm Credit System and increased the amount of revolving credit facility commitments by $25.0 million. As a result of the Amendment, the amount of revolving facility commitments available to the Company is $200.0 million. Proceeds from the expanded revolving credit facility will be used to fund the previously announced installation of a second ready-to-drink can line at the Company's extract and ready-to-drink facility in Conway, Arkansas, and for general corporate purposes. The Amendment also modified the secured net leverage ratio that the Company must comply with during the covenant relief period to increase the maximum secured net leverage ratio to (a) 6.00x for the test period ending June 30, 2025, (b) 5.50x for the test period ending September 30, 2025, and (c) 5.25x for the test period ending December 31, 2025. In addition, the minimum liquidity covenant will not apply after the covenant relief period ends.
2025 and 2026 Outlook
In 2025, the Company is expecting significant growth via several important drivers:
(i) volume growth in the Company's core coffee business
from new retail coffee customers;
(ii) volume growth in the Company's core coffee business
from new retail coffee customers;
(iii) full year benefit of expense savings from cost reduction
and facility consolidation efforts in 2024;
(iv) expense savings through operational improvements within
our core manufacturing facilities; and
(v) the rapid scale up of our RTD can volumes beginning
in the second quarter of 2025 and continuing through
the second quarter of 2026, and the launch of our
RTD glass bottle products in the third quarter of
2025 and volume scale up through the second quarter
of 2026.
The guidance presented is an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release, based on the current "C" market price of coffee, and excludes any impacts of future acquisitions, capital market transactions or the potential impact of tariffs. As such, actual results may vary from this guidance and the variations may be material. Management will provide additional details regarding the 2025 and 2026 outlook on its earnings results call to be held today.

________________________
(1 -- Primarily consists of $6.6 million of pro forma run-rate impact of cost savings initiatives enacted during the second quarter of 2024, as permitted by the Credit Agreement.)
The Company is required to maintain compliance with, among other things, a secured net leverage ratio under the terms of its credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, Westrock Beverage Solutions, LLC, as the borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, and swingline lender, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sustainability structuring agent, and each issuing bank and lender party thereto. The secured net leverage ratio is calculated as secured net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period, each as defined in the Credit Agreement, and is applicable only to our Beverage Solutions segment.
Management believes that our secured net leverage ratio provides useful information to investors and other users of our financial data regarding the Company's compliance with its material financial covenants. Failure to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement or make payments when due could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could accelerate our repayment obligations under the Credit Agreement and could result in a default and acceleration under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. Under these circumstances, we might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of our obligations. As of the date of this press release, the Company is in compliance with its financial covenants.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We refer to EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in our analysis of our results of operations, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). While we believe that net (loss) income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure, we also believe that EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance as they contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the Company's future operating performance and comparisons to the Company's past operating performance. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate the Company's operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance.
We define "EBITDA" as net (loss) income, as defined by GAAP, before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define "Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA before equity-based compensation expense and the impact, which may be recurring in nature, of transaction, restructuring and integration related costs, including management services and consulting agreements entered into in connection with the acquisition of S&D Coffee, Inc., impairment charges, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, certain non-capitalizable costs necessary to place the Conway extract and ready-to-drink facility into commercial production, the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs, costs incurred as a result of the early repayment of debt, gains or losses on dispositions, and other similar or infrequent items (although we may not have had such charges in the periods presented). We believe EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures to net (loss) income because they provide additional information to evaluate our operating performance on an unleveraged basis.
Since EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should be viewed in addition to, and not be considered as alternatives for, net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, our computations of EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies that define EBITDA and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.
