Beverage Solutions net sales increased nearly 17% year over year, supported by rising RTD can, glass, bottle, and single-serve volumes. Management said it is winning share across product categories, with a strong pipeline and additional customer volume expected to build over the next several quarters.
Westrock generated $20.2 million of second-quarter free cash flow and became free-cash-flow positive for the first half, a quarter ahead of schedule. Capital expenditures are expected to fall to approximately $30 million in 2026 from $89 million in 2025, reflecting the completion of the major Conway investment phase.
The company continued to reduce leverage, ending the quarter with a secured net leverage ratio of 3.36 times, and extended most of its Beverage Solutions credit facility maturities to November 2028. Management said the improved cash generation could support high-return incremental investments and future shareholder value creation.
Second-quarter consolidated gross profit declined by $3.6 million year over year, partly due to higher depreciation from Conway and unfavorable non-cash mark-to-market adjustments. SS&T adjusted EBITDA also fell to $2 million from $3.3 million, although management attributed the decline primarily to shipment timing.
