WESTROCK COFFEE COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Westrock Coffee Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Westrock,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a leading integrated coffee, tea, flavors, extracts, and ingredients solutions provider in the United States, providing coffee sourcing, supply chain management, product development, roasting, packaging, and distribution services to the retail, food service and restaurant, convenience store and travel center, non-commercial account, consumer packaged goods (“CPG”), and hospitality industries around the world. We manage our business in two operating segments.
Beverage Solutions: Through this segment, we combine our product innovation and customer insights to provide value-added beverage solutions, including coffee, tea, flavors, extracts and ingredients. We provide products in a variety of packaging, including branded and private label coffee in bags, fractional packs, and single serve cups, as well as extract solutions to be used in products such as cold brew and ready-to-drink offerings. Currently, we serve customers in the United States, Europe and Asia, through the retail, food service and restaurant, convenience store and travel center, non-commercial account, CPG, and hospitality industries.
Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability: Through this segment, we utilize our proprietary technology and digitally traceable supply chain to directly impact and improve the lives of our farming partners, tangible economic empowerment and an emphasis on environmental accountability and farmer literacy. Revenues primarily relate to the physical delivery and settlement of forward sales contracts for green coffee.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) using the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the activities of the Company and its wholly owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
On April 3, 2023, the Company purchased the remaining 15 % of the equity interests of Falcon Coffees Limited (“Falcon”) that it did not previously own, resulting in Falcon becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Aggregate consideration paid for the interest totaled $ 3.2 million and included $ 2.0 million in cash and 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”). Due to the Company’s controlling financial interest in Falcon prior to the purchase, the transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. For periods prior to April 3, 2023, equity interests not owned by us are reflected as non-controlling interests. In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, we allocate net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders based on their proportionate share. Falcon operates our trading business and is reported within our Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability segment.
The interim financial information is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair statement of results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results from any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2024. Accordingly, certain significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes since such items are disclosed in our audited financial statements.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, incremental borrowing rates for lease liability measurement, fair values of forward purchase and sales contracts, green coffee associated with forward contracts, warrant liabilities, share-based compensation, contingencies, and income taxes, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Going Concern
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) , the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company is dependent on borrowings under its Credit Agreement and cash generated from operations to finance its operations, service its debt requirements, maintain compliance with its covenants, and to fund capital requirements. The Company believes that projected cash flow from operations, including current projections of the timing and amount of cash flows to be generated from our Conway, Arkansas extract and ready-to-drink manufacturing facility (the “Conway Facility”), and available borrowings under its Credit Agreement, as amended, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $ 41.4 million and net cash outflows from operating activities of $ 15.7 million. If we are unable to achieve our profitability growth projections and maintain our minimum liquidity requirements, as a result of, for example, experiencing any adverse impact of changes or delays in the estimated timing and volume of products to be commercialized in our Conway Facility over the next twelve months, and generate sufficient cash flows from operations, it may restrict our liquidity and capital resources and our ability to maintain compliance with our financial covenants.
As management’s ability to amend its financial covenants cannot be assured, if necessary, management has committed to delay growth capital expenditures and/or reduce operating expenses, including headcount, salary and/or bonus reductions, all of which are in the Company’s control, as necessary, in order to have adequate liquidity and to remain in compliance with its debt covenants. As further discussed in Restructuring Activities below, the Company has recently committed to a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations and a targeted reduction in excess workforce capacity, which are designed to improve operational efficiency. If required, the Company will further reduce operating costs to ensure compliance with its financial covenants. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable consist principally of amounts billed and currently due from customers and are generally unsecured and due within 30 to 60 days . A portion of our accounts receivable is not expected to be collected due to non-payment, bankruptcies and deductions. Our accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses requires us to reserve an amount based on the evaluation of the aging of accounts receivable, detailed analysis of high-risk customers’ accounts, and the overall market and economic conditions of our customers. This evaluation considers the customer demographic, such as large commercial customers as compared to small businesses or individual customers. We consider our accounts receivable delinquent or past due based on payment terms established with each customer. Accounts receivable are written off when the account is determined to be uncollectible.

Within our Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability segment, green coffee associated with our forward contracts is recorded at net realizable value, which approximates market price, consistent with our forward purchase contracts recorded at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Green coffee is a commodity with quoted market prices in active markets, may be sold without significant further processing, has predictable and insignificant disposal costs and is available for immediate delivery. We estimate the fair value of green coffee based on the quoted market price at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value being reported as a component of costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $ 1.7 million and $ 1.0 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, on green coffee inventory associated with our forward sales and purchase contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $ 1.1 million of net unrealized losses and $ 1.1 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, on green coffee inventory associated with our forward sales and purchase contracts.
Capitalized Interest
We capitalize a portion of interest costs incurred related to assets that require a period of time to get them ready for their intended use. The amount of interest capitalized is based on eligible expenditures incurred during the period involved in bringing the assets to their intended use and the Company’s weighted-average interest rate during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we capitalized $ 4.3 million and $ 7.2 million of interest costs, respectively. No such interest was capitalized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2023.
Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company is party to a supply chain finance program (the “Program”) with a third-party financing provider to provide better working capital usage by deferring payments for certain raw materials. Under the Program, the financing provider remits payment to the Company’s suppliers for approved invoices, and the Company repays the financing provider the amount of the approved invoices, plus a financing charge, on 180 -day terms. The Program is uncommitted and the financing provider may, at its sole discretion, cancel the Program at any time. The Company may request cancellation of the Program in whole or in respect of one or more approved suppliers. Due to the extension of payment terms beyond the original due date of approved invoices, obligations under the Program are recorded outside of accounts payable, within our supply chain finance program, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts paid by the financing provider to suppliers are reported as cash inflows from financing activities and a corresponding cash outflow from operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Amounts paid to the financing provider are reflected as cash outflows from financing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $ 76.3 million and $ 78.1 million of obligations outstanding under the Program, respectively.
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was $ 25.0 million and $ 2.1 million, respectively, of received not billed liabilities within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restructuring Activities
The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“ASC 420”). Restructuring charges may include one-time termination benefits related to employee separations, contract termination costs, long-lived asset impairments, and other related costs with exit or disposal activities.
The recognition of restructuring charges requires the Company to make certain judgements and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with the planned exit activity. To the extent the Company’s actual results differ from its estimates and assumptions, the Company may be required to revise the estimates of future liabilities, require the recognition of additional restructuring charges or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. Such changes to previously estimated amounts may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Restructuring charges are not included in the Company’s measurement of segment profitability as discussed in Note 19.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company committed to a plan to consolidate its manufacturing operations in its Beverage Solutions segment, which will result in the closure and sale of its West Winds manufacturing facility in Concord, NC, and the closure of its manufacturing facility in Richmond, CA. All production from the impacted facilities will be consolidated into other facilities operated by the Company in Concord, NC and Conway, AR. The closure of the West Winds facility was completed as of June 30, 2024, and the sale of the land and buildings is expected to be completed within the next 12 months. Production in our Richmond, CA facility is expected to cease during the third quarter of 2024.
The Company currently estimates total charges related to the plant consolidations to be in the range of $ 5.0 million to $ 10.0 million, of which no amounts have been incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024. These charges primarily relate to costs to remove and re-install production equipment into other manufacturing facilities. At June 30, 2024, the Company classified approximately $ 9.1 million of land and buildings as held-for-sale, which are reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred impairment charges of approximately $ 0.8 million on equipment associated with the plant consolidations, which is reported within impairment charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company is continuing to evaluate which plant assets will be moved to other manufacturing facilities and which plant assets will be disposed of; therefore, there may be additional impairment charges in the future related to the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities.
In addition, during the second quarter of 2024, the Company committed to targeted restructuring activities to improve operational efficiency by reducing excess workforce capacity. As a result of this reduction, and the impacts of the consolidation of manufacturing facilities noted above, the Company recognized approximately $ 4.1 million of one-time employee severance costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024, which are recorded in transaction, restructuring and integration expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, of which $ 0.5 million was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024, approximately $ 3.6 million of such termination benefits were accrued for within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On February 12, 2024, following the completion of its 530,000 square foot distribution center in Conway, AR, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement for its distribution center located in North Little Rock, AR (the “Gregory Distribution Center”). The Gregory Distribution Center lease terminated, by mutual agreement, on June 30, 2024. No costs were incurred as a result of the lease termination. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company remeasured the Gregory Distribution Center lease liability, and related right-of-use asset, in accordance with ASC 842, Leases , resulting in a reduction of the lease liability and right-of-use asset of approximately $ 3.0 million. At June 30, 2024, there was no remaining lease liability or right-of-use assets related to the Gregory Distribution Center recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, using enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or
14
Table of Contents
settled. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries file income tax returns and are subject to tax provisions in their respective foreign tax jurisdictions.
A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred income tax assets if, on the basis of available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of any deferred tax assets will not be realized. The consideration of available evidence requires significant management judgment including an assessment of the future periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized and projections of future taxable income. Specifically, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider the reversal of taxable temporary differences, future taxable income, the ability to carryback certain attributes and tax-planning strategies. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods prior to their expiration. If our estimates and assumptions about future taxable income are not appropriate, the value of our deferred tax assets may not be recoverable, which may result in an increase to our valuation allowance that will impact current earnings. We re-evaluate our need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.
The effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were ( 2.9 %) and ( 6.4 %), respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the current period differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance against domestic deferred tax assets and certain permanent differences, including nondeductible expenses related to executive compensation. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the effective tax rate for the same period in 2023 primarily due to the Company’s full year forecasted ordinary income (loss) in the periods and the permanent difference for changes in the fair value of warrants.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released Pillar Two Model Rules, which provide for a global minimum tax of 15% on multinational entities. Although the United States has not yet adopted the Pillar Two Model Rules, several foreign countries enacted Pillar Two legislation in 2023 with an initial effective date of January 1, 2024. The impact of Pillar Two legislation on the Company's 2024 effective tax rate is expected to be minimal. Management will continue to monitor future Pillar Two legislation in relevant jurisdictions for any impacts to the Company's effective tax rate.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
ASU 2022-04 - Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 “Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”, which requires that a company that uses a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase of goods or services disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted the amendments within ASU 2022-04 on a retrospective basis effective January 1, 2023. The amendments to ASU 2022-04 do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs.

ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in the update relate to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosure and are intended to improve transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the tax reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The other amendments in the update are intended to improve comparability of disclosures by (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in the update should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement”. The amendments in this update require that a joint venture recognize and initially measure assets contributed and liabilities assumed at fair value upon its formation in the joint venture’s separate financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company will apply the provisions of ASU 2023-05 to new joint ventures, as applicable, but does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosure for Investors
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules requiring registrants to provide certain climate-related disclosures, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions to the extent they are material. These rules require certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions in the notes to audited financial statements. These disclosures are required to phase-in over multiple years beginning with fiscal 2025 for large accelerated filers and fiscal 2026 for accelerated filers. On April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new rules.
Note 4. Revenue
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)
We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in the client arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the client arrangement are satisfied. Our principal source of revenue is from the procurement, trade, manufacture, and distribution of coffee, tea and extracts to customers in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
The transaction price of a contract, net of discounts and expected returns, is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the obligation and is recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The standalone selling price is the estimated price we would charge for the good or service in a separate transaction with similar customers in similar circumstances. Identifying distinct performance obligations and determining the standalone selling price for each performance obligation within a contract requires management judgment.
Substantially all our client contracts require that we be compensated for services performed to date. This is upon shipment of goods or upon delivery to the customer, depending on contractual terms. Shipping and handling costs paid
16
Table of Contents
by the customer to us are included in revenue and costs incurred by us for shipping and handling activities that are performed after a customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment costs. In addition, we exclude from net revenue and cost of sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities on revenue-producing transactions. Although we occasionally accept returns of products from our customers, historically returns have not been material.
At times, the Company may enter into agreements in which its Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability segment will sell inventory to a third party, from whom the Company’s Beverage Solutions segment has an obligation to repurchase. Such transactions are accounted for as financing transactions in accordance with ASC 606. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has $ 1.0 million and $ 8.3 million, respectively, of such repurchase agreement obligations, collateralized by the corresponding inventory, that are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net cash flows associated with these repurchase agreements are reported as financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Revenue from Forward Contracts (ASC 815)
A portion of the Company’s revenues consist of sales from commodity contracts that are accounted for under ASC 815. Sales from commodity contracts primarily relate to forward sales of green coffee which are accounted for as derivatives at fair value under ASC 815. These forward sales meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 as they have an underlying, notional amount, no initial net investment and can be net settled since the commodity is readily converted to cash. The Company does not apply the normal purchase and normal sale exception under ASC 815 to these contracts.
Revenues from commodity contracts are recognized in revenues for the contractually stated amount when the contracts are settled. Settlement generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product when title and risks and rewards of ownership transfers to the customer. Prior to settlement, these forward sales contracts are recognized at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded within costs of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $ 0.1 million of net unrealized losses and $ 2.2 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, within costs of sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $ 2.1 million and $ 1.1 million of net unrealized gains, respectively, within costs of sales.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $ 44.1 million and $ 79.1 million in revenues under ASC 815, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $ 34.7 million and $ 59.1 million in revenues under ASC 815, respectively, which are reported within the Company’s Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability segment.
Contract Estimates
The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to variable consideration including cash discounts, volume-based rebates, point of sale promotions, and other promotional discounts to certain customers. For all promotional programs and discounts, the Company estimates the rebate or discount that will be granted to the customer and records an accrual upon invoicing. These estimated rebates or discounts are included in the transaction price of the Company’s contracts with customers as a reduction to net revenues and are included as accrued sales incentives in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued sales incentives were $ 1.9 million and $ 1.5 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Other accrued deductions were $ 2.7 million and $ 2.7 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included as a reduction to accounts receivable, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts (i) with an original expected length of one year or less or (ii) for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount in which it has the right to invoice as the product is delivered.
Contract Balances
Contract balances relate primarily to advances received from the Company’s customers before revenue is recognized. The Company does not have any material contract liabilities as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Receivables
17
Table of Contents
from contracts with customers are included in accounts receivable, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accounts receivable, net included $ 107.4 million and $ 104.8 million in receivables from contracts with customers, respectively.
Contract acquisition costs for obtaining contracts that are deemed recoverable are capitalized as contract costs. Such costs result from the payment of sales incentives and are amortized over the contract life. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no costs were capitalized as all arrangements were less than a year.
Disaggregated Revenue
In general, the Company’s business segmentation is aligned according to the nature and economic characteristics of its products and customer relationships and provides meaningful disaggregation of each business segment’s results of operations.
Further disaggregation of revenues from sales to external customers by type and geographic area, based on customer location, for the periods indicated is as follows:

Note 5. Acquisitions
Bixby Roasting Co.
On February 28, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Bixby Roasting Co. (“Bixby”), a specialty-grade roaster that is a leader in the emerging influencer-led brand space. The transaction is accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations . Aggregate consideration paid for Bixby included 39,778 Common Shares and approximately $ 2.2 million in cash, for total consideration of $ 2.6 million, subject to customary adjustments. Net assets acquired totaled approximately $ 0.7 million. The acquisition allows the Company to continue to expand its product marketing and development resources as it capitalizes on shifting consumer consumption trends. The acquisition includes Bixby’s roasting facility in Los Angeles, California. The acquisition was recorded by allocating the costs of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which consisted of accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and accounts payable, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company finalized its purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2023, recognizing approximately $ 2.0 million of goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes, within our Beverage Solutions segment. The financial results of Bixby are included in the Beverage Solutions segment from the date of acquisition and were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our results of operations and therefore, pro forma financial information has not been presented.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company obtained approximately $ 1.0 million and $ 6.0 million of right-of-use operating lease assets in exchange for lease obligations.
On February 12, 2024, following the completion of its 530,000 square foot distribution center in Conway, Arkansas, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement for the Gregory Distribution Center lease. The Gregory Distribution Center lease terminated, by mutual agreement, on June 30, 2024. No costs were incurred as a result of the lease termination. This lease termination event does not significantly alter the Company’s operational capabilities or its financial position.
Depending on the nature of the lease, lease costs are classified within costs of sales or selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, Westrock Beverage Solutions, LLC, as the borrower (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 Credit Agreement includes (a) a senior secured first lien revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 175.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (b) a senior secured first lien term loan facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $ 175.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”), and (c) incremental term loan commitments in the form of a senior secured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $ 50.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility will mature on August 29, 2027. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Borrower’s domestic subsidiaries, which comprise our Beverage Solutions segment, and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, initially at an annual rate equal to (a) term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 % for loans with an interest period of one month , 0.15 % for loans with an interest period of three months and 0.25 % for loans with an interest period of six months , as applicable, (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”) or (b) the base rate (determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the United States as the prime rate in effect, (ii) the NYFRB Rate from time to time plus 0.50 % and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period plus 1.00 %, (the “Base Rate”)), in each case plus an applicable margin.

Table of Contents
At June 30, 2024, we had $ 59.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, with a weighted average interest rate of 9.1 %, and we had $ 2.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding. At June 30, 2024, the interest rate applicable to our Term Loan Facility was 9.2 % and the interest rate applicable to our Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility was 8.7 %.
On February 15, 2024, the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment modified the existing covenant relief period (the “Covenant Relief Period”), which commenced on June 30, 2023 and will end on the earlier to occur of (i) April 1, 2026 and (ii) any date following June 30, 2024, on which the Borrower elects to terminate the Covenant Relief Period subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and make investments, restricted payments and junior debt restricted payments will be more limited. The Third Amendment permits the Company to issue convertible notes, including the Convertible Notes (as defined below).
During the Covenant Relief Period, the applicable margin for any term SOFR rate loan will range from 3.00 % to 4.00 % and for any ABR loan will range from 2.00 % to 3.00 %, in each case depending on the secured net leverage ratio. After the Covenant Relief Period, the applicable margin for any term SOFR rate loan will range from 2.00 % to 3.00 % and for any ABR loan will range from 1.00 % to 2.00 %, in each case depending on the secured net leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement, as amended, requires the Borrower to maintain compliance with (i) a secured net leverage ratio at levels ranging from 4.50 :1.00 to 6.25 :1.00 and stepping down to 4.50 :1.00 by April 2026 and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of at least 1.50 :1.00 on and prior to September 30, 2025 and at least 2.00 :1.00 on December 31, 2025 and thereafter. The Credit Agreement, as amended, also includes (i) a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the Borrower not to permit its liquidity, measured as of the last business day of each calendar month commencing March 29, 2024, to be less than $ 15 million and (ii) an anti-cash hoarding covenant, which shall be effective only during the Covenant Relief Period, requiring the Borrower to have no more than $ 20 million of unrestricted cash on the last day of each calendar month when revolving loans or letters of credit are outstanding or on the date of borrowing of a revolving loan. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
The Term Loan Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments totaling approximately $ 2.8 million ( 1.25 % of the original principal balance). Quarterly payments increase to approximately $ 4.2 million and $ 5.6 million ( 1.875 % and 2.5 % of the original principal balance) during the final two years of the agreements, respectively.
We incurred a total of $ 2.4 million in financing fees in connection with the Third Amendment. Approximately $ 1.3 million of the fees were allocated to the Term Loan Facility and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Term Loan Facility utilizing the frozen effective yield method based on the interest rate in place at the issuance of the Term Loan Facility. Approximately $ 1.0 million of the fees were allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility, are reported within other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized ratably over the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Convertible Notes
On February 15, 2024, the Company sold and issued in a private placement $ 72.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00 % convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”), of which $ 50.0 million was from related parties (See Note 21). The Convertible Notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and accrue interest at a rate of 5.00 % per annum.
The Convertible Notes are carried at amortized cost and are recorded in long-term debt, net and convertible notes payable – related party, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $71.5 million, of which $ 49.7 million was from related parties. We incurred a total of $ 0.5 million of financing fees in connection with the Convertible Notes, which were ratably allocated to the convertible notes payable and the convertible notes payable – related party, respectively, and are being amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the Convertible Notes utilizing the effective interest rate method.

Table of Contents
Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option only in the following circumstances: (i) during the period commencing on August 15, 2024, and prior to the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding August 15, 2028, if the closing price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of any 30 consecutive trading days in the immediately preceding calendar quarter is equal to or greater than 130 % of the conversion price; (ii) during the period commencing on August 15, 2028, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding February 15, 2029, at any time; and (iii) during the 35 trading days following the effective date of certain fundamental change transactions that occur prior to the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding August 15, 2028.
The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, at the Company’s election, cash, Common Shares, or a combination of cash and Common Shares. The Company may not issue more than 19.99 % of the issued and outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the issuance of the Convertible Notes in respect of the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes is $ 12.84 , which corresponds to an initial conversion rate of approximately 77.88 Common Shares per $ 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. The conversion price and conversion rate are subject to customary adjustments.
International Debt and Lending Facilities
On March 21, 2023, we entered into a $ 70 million working capital trade finance facility with multiple financial institutions through our subsidiary, Falcon. The facility is uncommitted and repayable on demand, with certain of Falcon’s assets pledged as collateral against the facility. The facility was set to mature one year from inception. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at the borrower’s option at a rate equal to (a) Term SOFR, as defined in the facility, plus a margin of 4.00 % plus a liquidity premium set by the lender at the time of borrowing or (b) the Base Rate (determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, (ii) one-half of 1.00% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect at such time plus 1.00 %).
On March 8, 2024, Falcon renewed its working capital trade finance facility with multiple institutions. The facility size was reduced from $ 70.0 million to $ 55.0 million and remains uncommitted and repayable on demand, with certain of Falcon’s assets pledged as collateral against the facility. The facility will mature one year from inception. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at the borrower’s option at a rate equal to (a) Term SOFR plus a margin of 4.00 % plus a liquidity premium set by the lender at the time of borrowing or (b) the Base Rate (determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, (ii) one-half of 1.00 % in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the facility, at such time, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect at such time plus 1.00 % ). At June 30, 2024, there was $ 41.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the facility, which is recorded in short-term debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Falcon’s facility contains certain restrictive financial covenants which require Falcon to maintain certain levels of working capital, debt, and net worth. Falcon was in compliance with these financial covenants as of June 30, 2024.
On September 28, 2023, we entered into a $ 5.0 million unsecured working capital trade finance facility with responsAbility Climate Smart Agriculture & Food Systems Fund through our subsidiary, Falcon. The facility will mature on December 31, 2026, and requires stepped repayments of $ 0.5 million on December 31, 2024, $ 1.0 million on December 31, 2025 and $ 3.5 million on December 31, 2026.

Westrock Coffee International, LLC, through its subsidiary Rwanda Trading Company, maintains two mortgage and inventory-backed lending facilities with a local bank in Rwanda: (a) a short-term trade finance facility with a balance of $ 8.4 million at June 30, 2024 and (b) a long-term note payable with a balance of $ 0.8 million at June 30, 2024. Additionally, Rwanda Trading Company maintains two short-term futures contract-based lending facilities from international institutions with outstanding balances of $ 2.5 million and $ 2.0 million at June 30, 2024.
Note 12. Series A Preferred Shares
The Company has 23,511,922 Westrock Series A Preferred Shares outstanding, which rank senior to the Common Shares with respect to dividend rights and/or distribution rights upon the liquidation, winding up or dissolution, as applicable, of Westrock. Each holder of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis, as a single class with the holders of Common Shares and the holders of any other class or series of capital stock of Westrock then entitled to vote with the Common Shares on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Shares.
The initial liquidation preference of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares is $ 11.50 per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends and subject to accretion under certain circumstances. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, per Westrock Series A Preferred Share, the greater of (a) the liquidation preference and (b) the amount such holder would have received had they converted their Westrock Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately prior to such liquidation event.
Holders of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares may voluntarily convert their Westrock Series A Preferred Shares into a whole number of Common Shares at any time at a rate equal to the quotient of (a) the liquidation preference as of the applicable conversion date, divided by (b) the conversion price as of the applicable conversion date, which is currently $ 11.50 per Westrock Series A Preferred Share, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The initial conversion price of $ 11.50 per Westrock Series A Preferred Share is subject to customary adjustments for the issuance of Common Shares as a dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Shares, a subdivision or combination of the Common Shares, reclassification of the Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, certain tender or exchange offers for the Common Shares, and issuances of Common Shares below a specified price.
After February 26, 2028, any holder of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares may require Westrock to redeem all or any whole number of such holder’s Westrock Series A Preferred Shares in cash, subject to applicable law and the terms of any credit agreement or similar arrangement pursuant to which a third-party lender provides debt financing to Westrock or its subsidiaries, at a redemption price per share equal to the greater of (a) the liquidation preference and (b) the product of (i) the number of Common Shares that would have been obtained from converting one Westrock Series A Preferred Share on the redemption notice date and (ii) the simple average of the daily volume weighted average price per Common Share for the ten trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the redemption notice date. Assuming that the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Shares remains $ 11.50 per share and all 23,511,922 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding at June 30, 2024 remain outstanding after February 26, 2028, we estimate an aggregate redemption payment of at least approximately $ 270.4 million.
At any time after February 26, 2028, Westrock may redeem, ratably, in whole or, from time to time in part, the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares of any holder then outstanding at the redemption price in cash, equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation preference and (ii) the product of (x) the number of Common Shares that would have been obtained from converting one Westrock Series A Preferred Share on the date of the exercise of such call is notified by Westrock (including fractional shares for this purpose) and (y) the simple average of the daily volume weighted average price per Common Share for the ten trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the date of the exercise of such call by Westrock. The redemption price for the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares held by controlled affiliates of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH Investors”) may not be less than the $ 18.50 per Westrock Series A Preferred Share (subject to adjustments); provided that, Westrock may redeem such shares in such a case if it pays an incremental price per share on the redemption date to the BBH Investors equal to the difference between $ 18.50 (subject to adjustments) and the redemption price otherwise.

Table of Contents
Upon issuance, the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares were recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Subsequently, the Company will accrete changes in the redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using the effective interest rate method. The accretion will be recorded as a deemed dividend, which adjusts retained earnings (or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital) and earnings attributable to common shareholders in computing basic and diluted earnings per share. However, at no time will the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares be reported at a value less than its initial carrying value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million of amortization, respectively, with respect to the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $ 0.1 million of amortization and $ 0.3 million of accretion, respectively, with respect to the Westrock Series A Preferred Shares.
Note 13. Common Stock Warrants
The Company has 19,144,120 common stock warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024. 17,118,074 of the warrants are publicly-traded (the “Westrock Public Warrants”) and 2,026,046 of the warrants are private placements warrants (the “Westrock Private Warrants” and together with the Westrock Public Warrants, the “Westrock Warrants”). The Westrock Warrants are included in warrant liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Westrock Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of Common Share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share.
The Westrock Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares, and will expire on August 26, 2027, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Westrock may redeem the outstanding Westrock Public Warrants (i) in whole and not in part; (ii) at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant; (iii) upon not less than 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and (iv) if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Shares for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending three business days before Westrock sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share. During any period when Westrock fails to maintain an effective registration statement registering the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Westrock Warrants, Westrock is required to permit holders of Westrock Warrants to exercise their Westrock Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or another exemption.
If and when the Westrock Public Warrants become redeemable by Westrock, Westrock may exercise its redemption right even if Westrock is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The Westrock Private Warrants are generally identical to the Westrock Public Warrants, except they cannot be redeemable by Westrock so long as they are held by the existing holders or its permitted transferees. Furthermore, the existing holders, or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the Westrock Private Warrants on a cashless basis.
We account for the Westrock Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. The liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company re-measures the fair value of the Westrock Public Warrants based on the quoted market price of the Westrock Public Warrants. The Westrock Private Warrants are valued using a binomial lattice valuation model. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $ 1.6 million and $ 1.7 million of gains, respectively, related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, which is recognized in other (income) expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $ 11.8 million and $ 6.3 million of losses, respectively, related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Note 14. Derivatives
We record all derivatives, whether designated in a hedging relationship or not, at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We use various types of derivative instruments including, but not limited to, forward contracts, futures contracts, and options contracts for certain commodities. Forward and futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a commodity at a predetermined future date, and at a predetermined rate or price. Forward contracts are traded over the counter whereas future contracts are traded on an exchange. Option contracts are agreements to facilitate a potential transaction involving the commodity at a preset price and date.
The accounting for gains and losses that result from changes in the fair values of derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives have been designated and qualify as hedging instruments and the types of hedging relationships. Derivatives can be designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The changes in the fair values of derivatives that have not been designated and for which hedge accounting is not applied, are recorded in the same line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the changes in the fair value of the hedged items attributable to the risk being hedged. The changes in fair values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are reclassified into the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period the hedged items affect earnings.
For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments, we formally designate and document, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, we formally assess both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are highly effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures.
We use cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in commodity prices. The changes in fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from AOCI into earnings. We did not discontinue any cash flow hedging relationships during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
Within our Beverage Solutions segment, we have entered into coffee futures contracts to hedge our exposure to price fluctuations on green coffee associated with certain price-to-be-fixed purchase contracts, which generally range from three to twelve months in length. These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with future purchases of green coffee.
The notional amount for the coffee futures contracts that were designated and qualified for our commodity cash flow hedging program was 15.5 million pounds and 11.5 million pounds as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased coffee futures contracts and coffee options contracts under our cash flow hedging program with aggregate notional amounts of 20.1 million pounds and 30.0 million pounds, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased coffee futures contracts and coffee options contracts under our cash flow hedging program with aggregate notional amounts of 15.2 million pounds and 23.6 million pounds, respectively.
Approximately $ 3.5 million and $ 3.6 million of net realized gains, representing the effective portion of the cash flow hedge, were subsequently reclassified from AOCI to earnings and recognized in costs of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Approximately $ 1.4 million and $ 2.1 million of net realized losses, representing the effective portion of the cash flow hedge, were subsequently reclassified from AOCI to earnings and recognized in costs of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the estimated amount of net gains reported in AOCI that is expected to be reclassified to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within the next twelve months is $ 8.7 million.
Within our Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability segment, the Company’s forward sales and forward purchase contracts are for physical delivery of green coffee in a future period. While the Company considers these contracts to be effective

economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for forward sales or forward purchase contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards.

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , defines fair value at the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
28
Table of Contents
The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
● Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
● Level 2—Valuation is based upon inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (i.e. interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, default rates, etc.). Observable inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active and non-active markets. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued with industry standard valuation models that incorporate inputs that are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument or can otherwise be derived from or supported by observable market data in the marketplace. Level 2 inputs may also include insignificant adjustments to market observable inputs.
● Level 3—Valuation is based upon one or more unobservable inputs that are significant in establishing a fair value estimate. These unobservable inputs are used to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available and are developed based on the best information available. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Coffee futures contracts and coffee options are valued based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value for green coffee inventories associated with forward contracts and forward sales and purchase contracts are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in origin, quantity, quality, and future delivery period, as the exchange quoted prices represent standardized terms for the commodity. These adjustments are generally determined using broker or dealer quotes or based upon observable market transactions. As a result, green coffee associated with forward contracts and forward sales and purchase contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Westrock Public Warrants are valued based on their quoted market price of $ 2.22 and $ 2.30 per warrant as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Westrock Private Warrants price of $ 2.54 and $ 2.68 per warrant as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are valued using a binomial lattice valuation model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable inputs were as follows:
June 30, 2024

Exercise price

33.80 %
Risk-free rate of return
4.45 %
3.91 %
Dividend yield
0.00 %
0.00 %
The most significant of these primary unobservable inputs utilized in determining the fair value of the Westrock Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the stock price, which is determined by use of an option pricing model.
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, a supply chain finance program, convertible notes payable, short-term debt and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and the supply chain finance program was estimated by management to approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time to maturity for those instruments. The Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility are carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost and are estimated by management to approximate fair value as of June 30, 2024 as the interest rate on these facilities is adjusted for changes in the market rates. The Convertible Notes are carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost and are estimated by management to approximate fair value as of June 30, 2024. The fair value of the Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility, Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and Convertible Notes was determined based on Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
Non-financial assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No events occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, requiring these non-financial assets and liabilities to be subsequently recognized at fair value, with the exception of the
30

$ 0.8 million impairment charge on equipment related to the restructuring activities disclosed in Note 3. The equipment is no longer in use and was determined to have no salvage value.
At June 30, 2024, the Company had an equity investment with a carrying value of approximately $ 1.0 million, for which there is no readily determinable fair value. This investment is recorded at cost within other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024, there have been no adjustments, upward or downward, to the carrying value.

Note 17. Equity-Based Compensation
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 0.1 million and 1.4 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”), respectively, under the Westrock Coffee Company 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Equity Plan”). The RSUs had a grant date fair value of $ 1.0 million and $ 13.2 million, respectively, which was calculated using the closing price of the Common Shares on the applicable date of grant. The RSUs are amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over the vesting period. For RSUs issued during 2024, the vesting period is four year s, and for RSUs issued prior to 2024, the vesting period is three years . As of June 30, 2024, there were 2.7 million shares available for future issuance under the 2022 Equity Plan.

Note 18. Earnings per Share
Westrock Series A Preferred Shares and our RSUs issued under our 2022 Equity Plan are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to dividends at the same rate as Common Shares. As participating securities, we include these instruments in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method described in ASC 260 Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”) .
The dilutive effect of Westrock Series A Preferred Shares and the Convertible Notes is calculated using the if-converted method, which assumes an add-back of any accretion on preferred shares and interest expense associated with the Convertible Notes to net income attributable to shareholders as if the securities were converted to common shares at the beginning of the reporting period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and the resulting common shares being included in the number of weighted-average units outstanding.
The dilutive effect of time-based option awards and RSUs is calculated using the treasury stock method, while performance-based awards are treated as contingently issuable.
The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the periods indicated because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect on dilutive earnings (loss) per common share.

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings with respect to matters such as governmental regulations, and other actions arising out of the normal course of business.
