Alto Ingredients, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

About this update from Alto Ingredients, Inc.

- Western Assets Increased Gross Profit by $5.6 Million, Compared to Q2 2024 - PEKIN, Ill., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alto Ingredients, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTO) , a leading producer and distributor of specialty alcohols, renewable fuels and essential ingredients, reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. “In 2025, our higher productivity and efficiency initiatives positively impacted our financial position. These successes reflect our commitment to projects with near-term returns and long-term benefits,” said Bryon McGregor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alto Ingredients. “In the second quarter of 2025, our Western assets generated gross profit, reflecting the positive impact of our liquid CO 2 facility acquisition and our decision to cold-idle our Magic Valley facility due to adverse market factors. Our marketing and distribution segment improved because we integrated our bulk sales customers, continued third-party ethanol marketing relationships that met profitability criteria, and transitioned away from business that had limited returns. We partially offset the negative impact of the previously announced loading dock outage at Pekin by capitalizing on our operational flexibility, selling higher-margin ISCC export products into Europe, and rightsizing corporate overhead to align with our current company footprint. In the second quarter of 2025, this corporate reorganization exceeded our annualized savings goal of approximately $8 million. “Several positive regulatory developments, including the 45Z credit extension through the end of 2029, are beneficial for the industry. This has improved our earnings profile, increasing the intrinsic valuation of our facilities and creating opportunities for at least two of our plants to apply for credits for up to nearly $18 million in the next two years based on our nameplate and targeted carbon intensity scores. To execute our short-term payback strategy, we are evaluating projects to lower our carbon intensity, to capture more of the benefits from favorable regulations, improve prospects to monetize our Western assets, and increased our CO 2 utilization at our Pekin campus and at Columbia. We expect that this approach will support our path to profitability.” Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to 2024 Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to 2024 Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 were $29.8 million, compared to $26.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $35.5 million at December 31, 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures Management believes that certain financial measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") are useful measures of operations. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as unaudited consolidated net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, asset impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, acquisition-related expense and depreciation and amortization expense. A table is provided at the end of this release that provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss). Management provides this non-GAAP measure so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses, which may assist investors in properly assessing the company's performance on a period-over-period basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance under GAAP, or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
