What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Westrock Coffee announced an amendment to its credit agreement extending approximately $361 million of loans to November 29, 2028, with Texas Capital Bank becoming a lender. The company also terminated covenant relief early, reducing margins and tightening the secured leverage ratio to 4.00x for mid-to-late-2026. Management frames this as financial flexibility as Conway facility investments peak and free cash flow improves, potentially supporting stronger cash generation moving forward.
