REX American Resources Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Net Income Per Share Attributable to REX Common Shareholders of $0.56

About this update from Rex American Resources Corporation

REX American Resources Corporation (“REX” or the “Company”) (NYSE: REX), a leading ethanol production company, today announced financial and operational results for the Company’s fiscal first quarter 2026. REX American Resources’ fiscal first quarter 2026 results principally reflect its interests in six ethanol production facilities. The One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen Energy, LLC (“NuGen”) ethanol production facilities are consolidated, while the four other ethanol plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates. First Quarter 2026 Results REX reported Q1 ’26 net sales and revenue of $156.5 million, compared to Q1 ‘25 net sales and revenue of $158.3 million, primarily reflecting lower ethanol pricing. The Company reported production tax credit income of $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. First quarter 2026 gross profit for the Company was $29.1 million, compared with $14.3 million in Q1 ’25 as the production tax credit income and lower corn costs more than offset the lower ethanol pricing. The Company reported interest and other income of $3.2 million in Q1 ’26, compared to $4.2 million in Q1 ’25. This led to Q1 ‘26 income before income taxes and non controlling interests of $26.1 million, compared with $13.6 million in Q1 ’25. Net income attributable to REX shareholders in Q1 ‘26 was $18.5 million, compared to $8.7 million in Q1 ’25. First quarter ‘26 diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $0.56, compared to $0.26 per share in Q1 ’25. Per share results for Q1 ’26 and Q1 ’25 are based on 33,116,000 and 33,878,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. Update on One Earth Energy Ethanol Production Expansion and Carbon Capture Projects REX is nearing completion of the expansion of ethanol production at the One Earth facility. The Company expects testing and commissioning to begin upon completion, with the facility becoming fully operational during fiscal 2026. The Company’s carbon capture and sequestration project continues to await permitting for the Class VI injection well and associated carbon dioxide pipeline. REX remains actively engaged with the U.S. EPA and the Illinois Commerce Commission throughout both processes. Capital expenditures to-date related to the One Earth Energy carbon capture and sequestration project and related expansion of ethanol production capacity at the Gibson City location totaled $176.3 million. The Company continues to budget a total of $220-$230 million for these projects, subject to further refinement as the projects move forward, including impacts of inflation. Balance Sheet As of April 30, 2026, REX had $364.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments available and no bank debt. Management Commentary “The first quarter of 2026 maintained REX’s strong operational and financial momentum, delivering the best first quarter on a net income per share basis in the Company’s history, while advancing our growth initiatives,” said Zafar Rizvi, Chief Executive Officer of REX. “Our core ethanol business continued its exceptional record of sustained profitability and earnings strength during the first quarter, benefiting from supportive industry tailwinds and emerging opportunities related to the 45Z tax credit. We remain highly optimistic about the opportunities ahead and what the remainder of 2026 holds for REX American.” Change in Accounting Principles Effective February 1, 2026, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2025-10, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" ("ASU 2025-10") and as such, changed its accounting policy related to the accounting for Section 45Z tax credits. The Company will record the tax credits earned under the income model of ASU 2025-10 as "Production tax credit income", included within gross profit on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within "Other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined the income model under ASU 2025-10 is preferable to better align with monetization potential in the future. The Company has determined that retrospective adjustment to prior period financials is required. The Company did not record any section 45Z tax credits until the fourth quarter of 2025, and as such, there is no impact to the first quarter of 2025. As the Company does not intend to monetize the credits earned in 2025, the balance sheet classification as a deferred tax asset remains appropriate and no retrospective adjustments to the balance sheet are required.
