Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023, has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in The Andersons, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

The Company consolidates any VIE of which it is the primary beneficiary. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. A variable interest holder is required to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it has a majority ownership interest when the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine if it is the primary beneficiary.

The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in "Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and "Noncontrolling interests" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On October 1, 2019, the Company formed The Andersons Marathon Holding Company ("TAMH") with MPC Investments, LLC ("Marathon") for the primary purpose of producing ethanol and additional co-products such as dried distillers grains and corn oil. TAMH has plants located in Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. The plants have a combined nameplate production capacity of 405 million gallons of ethanol but have a history of outperforming the nameplate capacity. The Company owns 50.1% of TAMH's common units and management has determined that TAMH is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, TAMH is consolidated within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and records noncontrolling interest for the share of the entity owned by Marathon.

ELEMENT was structured as a limited liability company which began operations in 2019 for the primary purpose of producing ethanol and additional co-products such as dried distillers grain and corn oil. The Company held 51% of the membership units and the Company had acted as the manager of the facility. As a result, ELEMENT was concluded to be a VIE in which the Company was the primary beneficiary and had been consolidated within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. On April 18, 2023, ELEMENT was placed into receivership and a receiver was appointed, which took possession and control of the rights and interests of ELEMENT. With this appointment, while retaining its investment in ELEMENT, the Company ceased to have a controlling financial interest and was no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary in the subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated ELEMENT at that time and began accounting for the subsidiary as an equity method investment.

Therefore, operating results from January 1, 2023, to April 18, 2023, are included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company other than to the assets of the consolidated VIEs. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of TAMH, the Company's only consolidated VIE for the periods presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning with the year ended December 31, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Inventories

Major classes of inventories are presented below. Readily Marketable Inventories ("RMI") are agricultural commodity inventories such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and ethanol co-products, among others, carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value based on their commodity characteristics, widely available market information, and pricing mechanisms. The net realizable value of RMI is calculated as the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. All other inventories are held at lower of cost or net realizable value.

Depreciation expense on property, plant, and equipment was $25.0 million and $24.9 million for three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Additionally, depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment was $74.3 million and $75.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $87.2 million impairment charge related to ELEMENT. The plant faced operational and market-based challenges which were exacerbated by a shift in the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard credit markets and high western corn basis. At the time of the impairment, the Company owned 51% of ELEMENT and it was a consolidated entity, as such, 49% of the impairment charge was represented in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


4. Derivatives

The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Trade and Renewables businesses have established “unhedged” futures position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract). To reduce the exposure to market price risk on commodities owned and forward purchase and sale contracts, the Company enters into exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts and over-the-counter forward and option contracts with various counterparties. These contracts are primarily traded via regulated commodity exchanges. The Company’s forward purchase and sales contracts are for physical delivery of the commodity in a future period. Contracts to purchase commodities from producers generally relate to the current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Most contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyond one year.

Table of Contents
Most of these contracts meet the definition of derivatives. While the Company considers its commodity contracts to be effective economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards. The Company primarily accounts for its commodity derivatives at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the commodity derivative contracts that require the receipt or posting of cash collateral is recorded on a net basis (offset against cash collateral posted or received, also known as margin deposits) within commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Management determines fair value based on exchange-quoted prices and in the case of its forward purchase and sale contracts, estimated fair value is adjusted for differences in local markets and non-performance risk. For contracts for which physical delivery occurs, balance sheet classification is based on estimated delivery date. For futures, options and over-the-counter contracts in which physical delivery is not expected to occur but, rather, the contract is expected to be net settled, the Company classifies these contracts as current or noncurrent assets or liabilities, as appropriate, based on the Company’s expectations as to when such contracts will be settled.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of commodity contracts (whether due to changes in commodity prices, changes in performance or credit risk, or due to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the commodity contract) and commodity inventories are included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues.

Generally accepted accounting principles permit a party to a master netting arrangement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments against the right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral under the same master netting arrangement. The Company has master netting arrangements for its exchange traded futures and options contracts and certain over-the-counter contracts. When the Company enters into a future, option or an over-the-counter contract, an initial margin deposit may be required by the counterparty. The amount of the margin deposit varies by commodity. If the market price of a future, option or an over-the-counter contract moves in a direction that is adverse to the Company’s position, an additional margin deposit, called a maintenance margin, is required. The margin deposit assets and liabilities are included in short-term commodity derivative assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents a summary of the estimated fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments that require cash collateral and the associated cash posted/received as collateral. The net asset or liability positions of these derivatives (net of their cash collateral) are determined on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and are included within Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Commodity derivative assets (liabilities) - current or if long-term in nature, Other assets, net or Other long-term liabilities:

Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company’s objectives for using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt or payment of variable amounts with a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The gains or losses on the derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded in Other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into Interest expense, net in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense, net as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. In the case where interest rate derivatives are settled prior to maturity, the gain or loss is recorded in Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the interest rate derivatives:

5. Revenue

Many of the Company’s sales and merchandising revenues are generated from contracts that are outside the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, the vast majority of the Company's Trade and Renewables sales contracts are derivatives within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Of the sales and merchandising revenues within the scope of ASC 606 in the Trade and Renewables segments, substantially all of the activity occurs at a point in time with de minimis outstanding contract liabilities. In the Company's Nutrient & Industrial segment, all sales and merchandising revenues are within the scope of ASC 606. Therefore, a further disaggregation of revenues and detail of outstanding contract balances have been provided below:

Total$128,067 $128,533 $646,723 $738,067 

The Nutrient & Industrial segment is organized into three divisions: Ag Supply Chain, which includes wholesale distribution centers and retail farm centers; Specialty Liquids, which includes manufactured liquid products intended for agricultural and industrial uses; and Engineered Granules, which includes granular products for turf and agricultural uses, contract manufacturing and cob products. Prior period amounts above were recast to conform to this organization.

Substantially all of the Nutrient & Industrial segment revenues presented in the preceding table occurred within the United States and are recorded at a point in time instead of over time.

Contract balances

The balances of the Nutrient & Industrial segment's contract liabilities were $15.6 million and $30.7 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities is primarily a result of timing differences between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The main driver of the contract liabilities balance are payments for primary and specialty nutrients within the Nutrient & Industrial segment received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. Due to the seasonality of this business, contract liabilities are built up through the first quarter in preparation for the spring application season. Revenue is then recognized in the throughout the spring application season as the Company fulfills its contract obligations which is why the balance is much lower in the current quarter when compared to December 31, 2023.

Effective tax rate17.3 %20.5 %12.7 %30.5 %

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and makes changes, if necessary, based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted based on actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and is used to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. The Company also recognizes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates and impacts from settlements with tax authorities, discretely in the quarter in which they occur.

The difference between the 17.3% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest and federal tax credits offset by state and local income taxes, tax impacts of foreign operations, nondeductible compensation, and changes in other discrete tax adjustments.

The difference between the 20.5% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest offset by state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and other discrete tax adjustments.

The difference between the 12.7% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest, federal tax credits, stock-based compensation, and the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits offset by state and local income taxes, tax impacts of foreign operations, and nondeductible compensation.

The difference between the 30.5% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest, state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation and other discrete tax adjustments. Other discrete tax items include a net income tax benefit of $10.6 million recorded on a net loss before taxes of $88.8 million related to the operations, impairment charge, and gain on deconsolidation associated with ELEMENT.

(c)Recorded in “Other assets, net” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to certain available for sale securities.
(d)Included in other assets and liabilities are assets held by the Company to fund deferred compensation plans and foreign exchange derivative contracts (Level 1), as well as interest rate derivatives (Level 2).

Level 1 commodity derivatives reflect the fair value of the exchanged-traded futures and options contracts that the Company holds, net of the cash collateral, that the Company has in its margin account.

The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach valuation technique. With the market approach, fair value is derived using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

The Company’s net commodity derivatives primarily consist of futures or options contracts via regulated exchanges and contracts with producers or customers under which the future settlement date and bushels (or gallons in the case of ethanol contracts) of commodities to be delivered (primarily wheat, corn, soybeans and ethanol) are fixed and the price may or may not be fixed. Depending on the specifics of the individual contracts, the fair value is derived from the futures or options prices quoted on various exchanges for similar commodities and delivery dates as well as observable quotes for local basis adjustments (the difference, which is attributable to local market conditions, between the quoted futures price and the local cash price). Because “basis” for a particular commodity and location typically has multiple quoted prices from other agribusinesses in the same geographical vicinity and is used as a common pricing mechanism in the agribusiness industry, the Company has concluded that “basis” is typically a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to our commodity derivatives, depending on the specific commodity. Although nonperformance risk, both of the Company and the counterparty, is present in each of these commodity contracts and is a component of the estimated fair values, based on the Company’s historical experience with its producers and customers and the Company’s knowledge of their businesses, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant input to fair value for these commodity contracts.


The Andersons, Inc. | Q3 2024 Form 10-Q | 16
Table of Contents
These fair value disclosures exclude RMI which consists of agricultural commodity inventories measured at net realizable value. The net realizable value used to measure the Company’s agricultural commodity inventories is the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. This valuation would generally be considered Level 2. The amount of RMI is disclosed in Note 2. Changes in the net realizable value of commodity inventories are recognized as a component of cost of sales and merchandising revenues.

Provisionally priced contract liabilities are those for which the Company has taken ownership and possession of grain, but the final purchase price has not been established. In the case of payables where the unpriced portion of the contract is limited to the futures price of the underlying commodity or the Company has delivered provisionally priced grain and a subsequent payable or receivable is set up for any future changes in the grain price, quoted exchange prices are used and the liability is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For all other unpriced contracts which include variable futures and basis components, the amounts recorded for delayed price contracts are determined on the basis of local grain market prices at the balance sheet date and, as such, are deemed to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The convertible preferred securities are interests in several early-stage enterprises that may be in various forms, such as convertible debt or preferred equity securities.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is party to litigation, or threats thereof, both as defendant and plaintiff with some regularity, although individual cases that are material in size occur infrequently. As a defendant, the Company establishes reserves for claimed amounts that are considered probable and capable of estimation. If those cases are resolved for lesser amounts, the excess reserves are taken into income and, conversely, if those cases are resolved for larger than the amount the Company has accrued, the Company records additional expense. The Company believes it is unlikely that the results of its current legal proceedings for which it is the defendant, even if unfavorable, will be material. As a plaintiff, amounts that are collected can also result in sudden, non-recurring income.

Litigation results depend upon a variety of factors, including the availability of evidence, the credibility of witnesses, the performance of counsel, the state of the law, and the impressions of judges and jurors, any of which can be critical in importance, yet difficult, if not impossible, to predict. Consequently, cases currently pending, or future matters, may result in unexpected, and non-recurring losses, or income, from time to time. Finally, litigation results are often subject to judicial reconsideration, appeal and further negotiation by the parties, and as a result, the final impact of a particular judicial decision may be unknown for some time or may result in continued reserves to account for the potential of such post-verdict actions.

The estimated losses for outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible are not material.

Individually significant items included in the table above are:

Interest income - The vast majority of interest income recorded by the Company was due to the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand in all periods presented.

Property insurance recoveries - In 2024, property insurance recoveries consisted of $5.0 million related to a grain bin collapse at an Indiana grain facility in a prior year. In 2023, property insurance recoveries consisted of several individually insignificant amounts in the ordinary course of business.

Patronage income - As a part of the Company’s normal operations it relies on short-term lines of credit to support working capital needs in addition to long-term debt. The Company receives patronage income from its lenders as a part of these programs.

Gain on deconsolidation of joint venture - On April 18, 2023, ELEMENT was placed into receivership. As the receiver took control of ELEMENT, under the VIE consolidation model, the Company was deemed to have lost control of the entity and therefore deconsolidated ELEMENT from its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of these activities, the Company recognized a gain on deconsolidation in the second quarter of 2023. The Company recognized an additional $3.1 million gain in the first quarter of 2024 as the amount of cash distributed to the Company related to its receivables from ELEMENT exceeded management's estimate at the time of deconsolidation.

Gain on sale of assets and businesses - In 2023, the vast majority of the gain was from the sale of a Nebraska grain facility of $5.6 million, with the remaining amounts consisting of several individually insignificant amounts in the ordinary course of business.

Gain on investments - In 2023, the gain on investments consisted of a $4.8 million revaluation gain of an investment within the Company's corporate venture fund. The remaining gains consists of individually insignificant activity in the ordinary course of business.


13. Subsequent Events

On November 1, 2024, the Company purchased an ownership interest in Skyland Grain, LLC ("Skyland"), which operates grain receiving and agronomy facilities in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Texas. The transaction enables the Company to expand its core grain and fertilizer businesses across strategic markets. The Company will own 65% of Skyland's equity and will result in the consolidation of Skyland’s results in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements within the Trade and Nutrient & Industrial segments. The Company purchased its ownership interest in Skyland for $85.0 million in cash, subject to customary working capital adjustments, and was financed by cash on hand.

The Company will apply the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, to account for the transaction and expect to record any purchase price accounting adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Due to the limited time since the closing of the acquisition, the valuation efforts and related acquisition accounting is incomplete at the time of the filing of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill and other intangible assets.

Forward Looking Statements

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effects of economic, weather and agricultural conditions, regulatory conditions, competition globally and in the markets the Company serves, geopolitical risk, fluctuations in cost and availability of commodities, the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and the unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. The reader is urged to carefully consider these risks and others, including those risk factors listed under Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K. In some cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These forward-looking statements relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation, other than any imposed by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, as described in our 2023 Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the third quarter of 2024.

Executive Overview

Our operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Trade, Renewables and Nutrient & Industrial. Each of these segments is generally based on the nature of products and services offered and aligns with the management structure.

The agricultural commodity-based business is one in which changes in selling prices generally move in relationship to changes in purchase prices. Therefore, increases or decreases in prices of the agricultural commodities that the business deals in will have a relatively equal impact on sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues and a much less significant impact on gross profit. As a result, changes in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues between periods may not necessarily be indicative of the overall performance of the business and greater emphasis should be placed on changes in gross profit.

Trade

The Trade segment’s third quarter operating results were ahead of the prior year. Results from our grain asset footprint improved when compared to the prior year, due to strong elevation margins and space income. Trade's growing specialty food and feed ingredients business continued to benefit from recent growth investments. The merchandising business remained profitable with well-supplied commodity markets and limited volatility. Prior year results also included a $19 million pretax foreign currency loss in Egypt. As expected, farmer engagement ramped up during the quarter to bring significant old crop bushels to market and forward sell new crop in anticipation of an early and robust harvest.

The portfolio mix of assets, ingredients, and merchandising businesses provides a solid foundation for us to benefit from large crops and carry markets, as well as tight, demand-driven markets. Assets are well-positioned for the anticipated early and large harvest, which should allow Trade to purchase grains at low basis levels. Domestic specialty ingredient demand is also expected to stay solid and should continue to support recent capital growth investments.

Agricultural inventories on hand were 113.2 million and 91.4 million bushels at September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. These bushels consist of inventory held at company-owned or leased facilities, transload inventory, in-transit inventory, and third-party held inventory. Total Trade storage space capacity at company-owned or leased facilities, including temporary pile storage, was approximately 170 million bushels at September 30, 2024, which is consistent with the prior year.

Renewables

The Renewables segment's solid third quarter operating results were slightly improved when compared to the prior year. Margins on ethanol production improved year-over-year on significantly lower corn basis in the eastern plants, despite a reduction in ethanol board crush margins in the quarter. Production facilities continued to operate efficiently in the quarter with increased volume and higher ethanol yields. Plant co-product values were lower, with feed ingredients following the overall price reduction of corn despite improved demand. Renewable diesel feedstock volumes continue to grow albeit with compressed margins on industry fundamentals. All four plants completed their semi-annual maintenance shutdowns in the third quarter. A favorable ethanol margin environment should continue, supported by exports, higher blending rates and lower corn basis levels in the east.

Ethanol and related co-products volumes were as follows:

(a) Includes corn oil, soybean oil, and other fats, oils, and greases.
(b) Dried distillers grains ("DDG") tons shipped converts wet tons to a dry ton equivalent amount.

Nutrient & Industrial

The Nutrient & Industrial segment's third quarter operating results improved from the prior year. Overall volumes improved during a seasonally slow third quarter, but margins in base nutrients have reset to more normalized levels and did not repeat outsized margin opportunities seen in recent years. The engineered granules business saw significant improvement in the quarter on higher sales volume and margins, as the Company has continued to focus on operational improvements in this business. Looking forward, the fourth quarter should benefit from high yields and an early harvest, allowing for fall applications, dependent on grower sentiment.

Storage capacity at our Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids facilities, including leased storage, was approximately 457 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 511 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at September 30, 2024, which is similar to the prior year.

Tons of product sold were as follows:

Total tons306 293 1,413 1,469 

In the table above, Ag Supply Chain represents facilities principally engaged in the wholesale distribution and retail sale and application of primary agricultural nutrients such as bulk nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Specialty Liquid locations produce and sell a variety of low-salt liquid starter fertilizers, micronutrients for agricultural use, and specialty products for use in various industrial processes. Engineered Granules include a variety of corncob-based products and facilities that primarily manufacture granulated dry products for use in specialty turf and agricultural applications.

Other

Our “Other” activities include corporate income and expense and cost for functions that provide support and services to the operating segments. The results include expenses and benefits not allocated to the operating segments and other elimination and consolidation adjustments.

The Company uses Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Company, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Management believes that Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Company is a useful measure of the Company’s performance as it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations, allowing evaluation of underlying business performance and period-to-period comparability. This measure is not intended to replace or be an alternative to Income (loss) before income taxes, the most directly comparable measure reported under GAAP.

Trade

Operating results for the Trade segment improved from the same period of the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $891.3 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $904.1 million resulting in increased gross profit of $12.8 million. A majority of the decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues can be attributed to reduced commodity prices across all of our business lines as the oversupply of commodities has shifted to a carry market. The remainder of the decrease from the prior year can be attributed to management making a prudent decision to intentionally pull back on volumes traded in certain regions due to the recent geopolitical unrest. The $12.8 million increase in gross profit can be attributed to a $17.2 million improvement in the international merchandising business as currency liquidity issues in Egypt impacted results in the prior period. Our asset-based business realized strong elevation margins and space income in the current carry market and our specialty ingredients business continues to perform well, realizing the benefits of its recent acquisition and other growth investments.

Operating, administrative and general expenses decreased by $3.4 million. Substantially all of the decrease from the prior year can be attributed to decreased incentives.

Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million due to reduced short-term borrowings from lower commodity prices.

Renewables

Operating results for the Renewables segment increased by $2.2 million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $122.9 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $130.2 million compared to prior year results. As a result, gross profit increased by $7.3 million compared to 2023 results. The decrease in both sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues can be attributed to 23% lower ethanol prices, a similar reduction in DDG prices, and declines in values across the various renewable diesel feedstocks. Sales volumes remained consistent for the base ethanol business and increased in our feed and renewable diesel feedstocks products by 30% and 21%, respectively. The $7.3 million increase to gross profit in the current period results reflect a $10.1 million increase at the ethanol plants from efficient production combined with strong ethanol margins. The improved gross profit performance at the ethanol plants was partially offset by lower results in the third-party trading business on compressed margins despite higher sales volumes.

Other income, net decreased from the prior year by $1.6 million due to $2.2 million in USDA Biofuel Producer Program proceeds received in the third quarter of 2023 that did not recur.

Nutrient & Industrial

Operating results for the Nutrient & Industrial segment increased by $2.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues were flat from the prior year resulting in gross profit largely consistent with the prior year. Although overall gross profit was flat, our Ag Supply Chain business fell short of the prior year by $6.6 million due to a weaker margin environment as margins dropped approximately 50% from outsized levels in the prior year. This gross profit shortfall was almost entirely offset by the improved performance in our Engineered Granules and Specialty liquids businesses as both margins and volumes improved.

Operating, administrative and general expenses decreased from the prior year by $1.6 million mainly due to $1.2 million of reduced incentives from lower operating results.

Other income, net increased by $2.7 million in which substantially all of the increase from prior year was related to interest income from cash on hand.

Other

Results for the quarter declined by $2.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease from the prior year was primarily driven by a $4.8 million revaluation gain of a cost method investment in the prior year which was partially offset by lower incentive compensation in the current year.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $10.7 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 17.3% on income before taxes of $62.2 million. The difference between the 17.3% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest and federal tax credits offset by state and local income taxes, tax impacts of foreign operations, nondeductible compensation, and changes in other discrete tax adjustments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.9 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 20.5% on income of $38.4 million. The difference between the 20.5% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% was primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest offset by state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and other discrete tax adjustments.

The Company uses Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Company, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Management believes that Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Company is a useful measure of the Company’s performance as it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations, allowing evaluation of underlying business performance and period-to-period comparability. This measure is not intended to replace or be an alternative to Income (loss) before income taxes, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

Trade

Operating results for the Trade segment decreased by $14.8 million from the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $2,814.3 million, and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $2,787.2 million for a decreased gross profit impact of $27.2 million. A majority of the decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues can be attributed to reduced commodity prices across all of our business lines as the oversupply of commodities has shifted to a carry market. The remainder of the decrease from the prior year can be attributed to management making a prudent decision to intentionally pull back on volumes traded in certain regions due to the recent geopolitical unrest. Of the $27.2 million decrease in gross profit, $20.3 million was related to damaged inventory insurance recoveries recorded in the prior year within the asset-based business. This was followed by a $14.7 million decrease in the merchandising businesses as there were less trading opportunities in a less volatile commodity market, which was partially offset by $6.6 million of improved results in our specialty ingredients business as recent acquisitions and growth investments were accretive to results.

Interest expense decreased by $12.7 million due to reduced short-term borrowings from lower commodity prices.

Renewables

Operating results for Renewables increased by $39.8 million from the same period of prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $497.0 million, and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $493.6 million compared to prior year. As a result, gross profit decreased by $3.5 million. The decrease in both sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues can be attributed to 26% lower ethanol prices, a similar reduction in DDG prices, and declines in values across the various renewable diesel feedstocks. Sales volumes remained consistent for the base ethanol business and increased in our feed and renewable diesel feedstocks products by 16% and 31%, respectively. The $3.5 million decrease in gross profit from the prior period can mainly be attributed to margin compression in our third-party trading business.

An asset impairment charge of $87.2 million related to ELEMENT was recorded in the prior year. As ELEMENT was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company at the time, the entire impairment charge is reflected in Asset impairment.

Interest expense decreased by $3.5 million from the prior year, of which $2.2 million of the decrease was due to the deconsolidation of ELEMENT non-recourse debt with the remainder due to lower working capital usage.

Other income, net decreased from the prior year by $4.0 million as the Company recorded an additional $3.4 million in gains as a result of the deconsolidation of the ELEMENT ethanol plant in the prior year.

Nutrient & Industrial

Operating results for the Nutrient & Industrial segment decreased by $8.2 million when compared to the same period of the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased $91.3 million, and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $75.2 million resulting in decreased gross profit of $16.2 million. Over 90% of the decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues was due to margin compression as the prior year experienced outsized pricing opportunities in the spring application season. Specifically, our Ag Supply Chain business was impacted the most by a lower price environment and reduced volumes from a wet and delayed spring application season, as it contributed $13.1 million of the $16.2 million gross profit shortfall when compared to the outsized prior year results.

Interest expense decreased $1.2 million from prior year due to lower working capital usage.

Other income, net increased by $2.9 million in which substantially all of the increase from prior year was related to interest income from cash on hand.

Other

Results for the quarter decreased by $4.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to a $4.8 million revaluation gain of a cost method investment in the prior year.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $16.9 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 12.7% on income before taxes of $133.5 million. The difference between the 12.7% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest, federal tax credits, stock-based compensation, and the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits offset by state and local income taxes, tax impacts of foreign operations, and nondeductible compensation.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $23.7 million. The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.5% on income before income taxes of $77.8 million. The difference between the 30.5% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest, state and local income taxes, and nondeductible compensation, and other discrete tax adjustments. Other discrete tax adjustments include a net income tax benefit of $10.6 million, recorded on a net loss before taxes of $88.8 million related to the operations, impairment charge, and gain on deconsolidation associated with ELEMENT.

The Company’s subsidiary partnership returns are under U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for tax years 2018 through 2022. The Company’s subsidiary is under federal tax examination by the Mexican tax authorities for tax year 2015. The U.S. federal, state, and Mexican tax authorities’ examinations could potentially be resolved within the next 12 months. The resolution of these examinations could change our unrecognized tax benefits and favorably impact income tax expense by a range of $5.7 million to $10.1 million.

On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a global minimum tax of 15% on large corporations. Although the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two model rules, several foreign countries enacted legislation in 2023 which closely follow OECD’s Pillar Two guidance to be effective 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 Pillar Two legislation in our relevant jurisdictions to determine any changes to the Company's effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital
At September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $1,153.2 million, an increase of $33.7 million from the prior year. This increase was attributable to changes in the following components of current assets and current liabilities:

Table of Contents
Current assets as of September 30, 2024, decreased $196.0 million in comparison to those as of September 30, 2023. This decrease related to the reduction of all current asset accounts with the exception of the increase in cash and other current assets. The decreases in these current asset accounts can largely be attributed to the reduction and stabilization of agricultural commodity prices over the last year in comparison to historically high price levels of agricultural commodities, including fertilizer, in the same period of the prior year. The decreases in the working capital asset accounts also had a direct impact on cash as the Company was not deploying cash to hold working capital as it had done in the previous year.

Current liabilities decreased $229.8 million from the prior year. Current liabilities have decreased in trade payables, customer prepayments and deferred revenue, and commodity derivative liabilities as commodity prices have continued to stabilize over the last year compared to the historically high commodity prices in the same period of the prior year.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands)20242023
Net cash provided by operating activities$62,695 $696,087 
Net cash used in investing activities(90,592)(117,263)
Net cash used in financing activities(162,595)(275,846)

Operating Activities
Operating activities provided cash of $62.7 million and $696.1 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in the amount of cash provided in operating activities is mainly due to an unfavorable change of $620.4 million in operating assets and liabilities through the normal course of business. Cash generation excluding working capital changes remains consistent and strong in changing markets.

Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $90.6 million through the first nine months of 2024 compared to $117.3 million in the prior period. Cash used in investing activities decreased from the prior year mainly due to reduced capital spending combined with $14.8 million in reduced spending on business acquisitions in the current year.
We expect to invest approximately $150 million in property, plant, and equipment in 2024, depending on project timing. Approximately 50% of capital spending will be to maintain current facilities.

Financing Activities
Financing activities used cash of $162.6 million and $275.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. This decrease in cash used from the prior year is mainly due to the change in the Company's borrowings on its short-term credit facility as the Company had sufficient cash on hand in 2024 to cover a large amount of settled payables and other changes in working capital.

The Company paid $19.5 million in dividends in the first nine months of 2024 compared to $18.8 million paid in the prior period. The Company paid dividends of $0.19 and $0.185 per common share in January, April, and July of 2024 and 2023, respectively. On August 15, 2024, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per common share payable on October 22, 2024, to shareholders of record on October 1, 2024.

The Company is party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of $1,859.4 million in borrowing capacity. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $1,841.0 million available for borrowing.

Certain of our long-term borrowings include covenants that, among other things, impose minimum levels of working capital and various debt leverage ratios. The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2024. In addition, certain of our long-term borrowings are collateralized by mortgages on various facilities.

The Company is typically in a net short-term borrowing position in the first two quarters of the year. The majority of these short-term borrowings bear interest at variable rates, and an increase in interest rates could have a significant impact on our profitability. In addition, periods of high grain prices could require us to make additional margin deposits on our exchange traded futures contracts. Conversely, in periods of declining prices, the Company could receive a return of cash.
Management believes the Company's sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund operations, capital expenditures and service indebtedness. At September 30, 2024, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding of $3.7 million.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Refer to Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies,” In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss greater than a recorded accrual, concerning loss contingencies for asserted legal and other claims.

The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain.
