美国阿肯色州小石城，2024年2月15日(Global Newswire)--美国西岩咖啡公司(纳斯达克股票代码：WEST)(以下简称“西岩咖啡”或“公司”)今天宣布扩大其位于阿肯色州康威的提取和即饮(RTD)工厂的产能，并与Select Milk Producers(“Select Milk”)签订了一份非约束性的意向书，以建立和运营一家合资企业，以建造和运营延长的保质期以及位于利特尔菲尔德的Select Milk工厂的无菌多服务瓶装设施。德克萨斯州，提供了2023年全年初步业绩的最新情况，并提供了2024年的展望。

WestRock Coffee首席执行官兼联合创始人Scott Ford在评论工厂扩建时表示：“随着位于阿肯色州康威的提取和RTD设施即将完工，我们决定扩大我们的提取和浓缩能力，以便在未来增加生产线时，我们可以在不影响设施现有运营的情况下这样做。此外，我们还通过增加冷链功能扩展了我们的多服务瓶子容量。总而言之，这些新功能使我们能够更好地满足现有客户对延长保质期(“ESL”)和多功能瓶子的需求，并确保我们未来能够在不中断运营的情况下扩大我们的能力。“

在谈到与Select Milk的合作意向书时，福特先生表示：“我们希望与Select Milk的合资企业能够满足当前和未来客户对基于咖啡的RTD的需求，并集中多种服务形式，包括传统乳制品或植物奶。” 合资企业将在Select Milk打算在德克萨斯州利特尔菲尔德建立的新工厂内建造和运营多服务瓶装生产线。WestRock预计将从其Conway工厂生产并向合资企业提供咖啡提取物和浓缩物，Select Milk预计将从其Littlefield工厂提供牛奶。WestRock和Select Milk预计将于2026年第一季度从这些产品线发货。

为了为康威工厂的扩建和合资企业的成立提供资金，WestRock今天宣布，它已经以非公开发行的方式发行了本金总额为7200万美元的2029年到期的可转换优先无担保票据(“票据”)。这些票据是本公司的优先无抵押债务，年利率为5.00%。在某些情况下及在某些期间内，票据可按每股12.84美元的转换价转换为本公司普通股，并可予调整。

本公司还宣布已修订其现有信贷协议，以提高本公司在2026年第一季度之前的总净杠杆率财务契约合规水平，并降低其最低利息覆盖率合规水平。

2023初步结果和会议电话信息

关于今天的公告，公司提供了2023年全年预期业绩的最新情况。该公司预计其2023年调整后的EBITDA将降至接近之前披露的4500万美元至5000万美元指导范围的低端。上述财务信息为初步的未经审计的财务信息，可能会因本公司2023财年的财务报表定稿而进行修订。

该公司将于2024年3月12日(星期二)市场收盘后公布2023年全年业绩。在宣布这一消息之后，将于下午4：30举行现场收益电话会议。艾斯特。要参加现场收益电话会议和问答环节，请在https://register.vevent.com/register/BIa80ab8d7d9824bdcb8f729b24cb36937注册，拨入信息将直接提供给您。现场音频网络直播可在公司投资者关系网站的“活动和演示” 部分收看，网址为：https://investors.westrockcoffee.com.现场活动结束后不久，将提供网络直播的存档重播。

2024年展望

该公司预计2024财年合并调整后的EBITDA将在6,000万美元至8,000万美元之间。指导范围必须很宽，以考虑到公司在阿肯色州康威的Extra和RTD设施开始运营时可能经历的结果范围，以及该设施客户的商业化。本指导是对公司认为截至本新闻稿发布之日可实现的估计，实际结果可能与本指导不同，差异可能是实质性的。管理层将在收益结果电话会议上提供有关2024年前景的更多细节。

公司无法提供预测调整后EBITDA与预测GAAP净收入的对账，而无需不合理的努力，因为影响此类数字的某些项目是不确定的或超出公司的控制范围，无法合理预测。该等项目包括衍生工具按市价计值调整所产生的非现金收益或亏损以及认股权证负债公允价值变动的影响，其中。
