The Andersons, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results

About this update from The Andersons, Inc.

MAUMEE, Ohio , Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Andersons, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDE) announces financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 . Second Quarter Highlights: Company reported net income attributable to The Andersons of $36 million , or $1.05 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $39 million , or $1.15 per diluted share Adjusted EBITDA was $98 million for the quarter Renewables reported pretax income of $39 million and adjusted pretax income attributable to The Andersons of $23 million on strong operating performance and ethanol margins Trade generated increased pretax income of $5 million and adjusted pretax income of $9 million Nutrient & Industrial delivers pretax income of $23 million "Overall, our second quarter results were consistent with our expectations given the shift in ag markets over the past several months. Renewables had a very solid quarter with increased ethanol production and higher margins but didn't match last year's results on declining co-product values. Trade results were slightly improved from last year despite lower prices and volatility. With the majority of fertilizer applications occurring in the second quarter, Nutrient & Industrial had solid results although well behind last year's outsized performance given weather-related delays and lower margins," said Chairman and CEO Pat Bowe . "Farmer selling remains relatively quiet with adequate supply in this low-price commodity environment. We are seeing the benefits of our portfolio mix with grain assets and our growing premium ingredients business helping to offset a reduction in merchandising opportunities." "We actively pursue opportunities for growth. In early June, we announced plans to acquire an ownership interest in Skyland Grain LLC , which holds a large grain and agronomy footprint spread across Kansas , Eastern Colorado , and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. We are devoting significant resources to this opportunity and expect to provide an update later in the third quarter," continued Bowe. "Our longer-term Renewables projects are moving forward, and we are focused on lowering the carbon intensity of our ethanol plants. We continue to manage a robust pipeline with meaningful growth opportunities in each of our businesses." $ in millions, except per share amounts Q2 2024 Q2 2023 Variance YTD 2024 YTD 2023 Variance Pretax Income $ 57.3 $ 104.4 $ (47.1) $ 71.3 $ 39.4 $ 31.9 Pretax Income Attributable to the Company 1 40.9 76.8 (35.9) 47.7 56.1 (8.4) Adjusted Pretax Income Attributable to the Company 1 44.9 72.5 (27.6) 51.5 80.6 (29.1) Trade 1 9.5 7.2 2.3 18.2 30.9 (12.7) Renewables 1 22.7 32.4 (9.7) 35.3 38.7 (3.4) Nutrient & Industrial 23.4 42.6 (19.2) 21.6 32.1 (10.5) Other (10.7) (9.7) (1.0) (23.6) (21.2) (2.4) Net Income Attributable to the Company 36.0 55.0 (19.0) 41.6 40.3 1.3 Adjusted Net Income Attributable to the Company 1 39.5 51.8 (12.3) 45.1 58.6 (13.5) Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") 1.05 1.61 (0.56) 1.21 1.18 0.03 Adjusted EPS 1 1.15 1.52 (0.37) 1.31 1.72 (0.41) EBITDA 1 94.2 148.7 (54.5) 145.7 132.6 13.1 Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations 1 $ 98.3 $ 144.4 $ (46.1) $ 149.4 $ 199.7 $ (50.3) 1 Non-GAAP financial measures; see appendix for explanations and reconciliations. Cash, Liquidity, and Long-Term Debt Management "Our businesses generate consistent cash flows and we've continued to reduce debt," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine . "With the strong cash flows and lower commodity prices, we continue to show a higher-than-normal cash position at this point in the year. We remain well below our long-term debt to EBITDA target of less than 2.5 times and are pleased with the strength of our balance sheet. We expect to invest in additional growth projects utilizing a disciplined approach to ensure that projects align with our stated strategy and meet appropriate financial hurdles." The company generated cash from operating activities of $304 million and $541 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash from operations before working capital changes in the same periods was $89 million and $118 million , respectively. Cash spent on capital projects in the quarter totaled $29 million , a $21 million decrease from 2023. We do have several larger projects planned for the last half of the year. Second Quarter Segment Overview Trade Results Resilient in Less Volatile Markets The Trade segment recorded pretax income of $5 million and adjusted pretax income of $9 million for the quarter compared to pretax income of $5 million and adjusted pretax income of $7 million in the second quarter of 2023. Results from our grain asset footprint were better than the prior year, due to improved wheat storage income in the eastern grain belt. Trade's growing premium food and feed ingredients business also showed year-over-year improvement, driven by the addition of ACJ International , acquired in July 2023 , and other recent growth capital investments. The merchandising business remained profitable but below 2023. Commodity markets are currently well-supplied with limited volatility. Farmer engagement remains slow due to overall market prices. While these carry markets benefit our assets, reduced volatility and lower prices limit opportunities for the merchandising business. Our portfolio mix of assets, ingredients, and merchandising businesses provide a solid foundation for us to benefit from large crops and carry markets, as well as tight, demand-driven markets. Our assets are well-positioned for the grains to flow in due course. Domestic premium ingredient demand is also expected to stay solid and should continue to support recent capital growth investments. Trade's second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $24 million , compared to second quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $27 million . Renewables Reported Strong Quarter on Record Production and Favorable Ethanol Margins The Renewables segment reported pretax income of $39 million and adjusted pretax income attributable to the company of $23 million in the second quarter. For the same period in 2023, the segment reported a pretax income of $67 million and adjusted pretax income attributable to the company of $32 million . Margins on ethanol production improved year-over-year on lower corn basis in the east. Production facilities continued to operate efficiently in the quarter with increased volume and higher ethanol yields. Plant co-product values, particularly feed ingredients, were lower with feed ingredients following the overall price reduction of corn; however, feed ingredient demand improved year-over-year. Renewable diesel feedstock volumes continue to grow albeit with compressed margins on industry fundamentals. With a continued strong export environment, the ethanol margin environment should remain favorable. Renewables had second quarter EBITDA of $52 million in 2024, compared to 2023 second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $74 million . Nutrient & Industrial Ag Businesses Decline on Lower Prices and Delayed Application Season The Nutrient & Industrial segment reported pretax income of $23 million , compared to a very strong 2023 second quarter pretax income of $43 million . Volumes were negatively impacted by a late and wet spring application season in our market areas and declining nutrient prices did not provide outsized margin opportunities we've seen in prior years. Also impacting the year-over-year comparison was a 2023 second quarter that had a significant shift of income from Q1 into Q2. The engineered granules business saw improvement in the quarter on higher sales volume. Looking forward, second half agronomy sales and applications are dependent on the timing of harvest and grower's overall profitability. Nutrient & Industrial's second quarter EBITDA was $32 million compared to 2023 second quarter EBITDA of $52 million . Income Taxes; Corporate The company recorded income tax expense at an effective rate of 9% for the quarter. This rate was impacted by the tax treatment of non-controlling interests, reversals of uncertain tax positions relating to research and development and other tax credits. We currently anticipate a full-year adjusted effective rate of approximately 14% - 18%.
