Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). Controlled subsidiaries include majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Following the deconsolidation of ELEMENT in the second quarter of 2023, as discussed in Note 15, TAMH is the Company’s only remaining VIE. The portion of these entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

During the third quarter of 2021, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Rail segment were classified as held-for-sale in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell the Rail Leasing business and announced its intent to sell the remaining Rail Repair business, which was subsequently sold in 2022. These transactions effectively constitute the entirety of what has historically been included in the Rail reportable segment. Therefore, the associated operating results, net of income tax, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with the exception of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity and unless otherwise indicated, amounts and activity are presented on a continuing operations basis.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring items considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods indicated have been made. 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, 2023. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

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 used in continuing operations was $24.4 million and $27.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment used in continuing operations was $50.5 million and $55.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $87.2 million impairment charge related to ELEMENT, LLC ("ELEMENT"), the Company's joint venture ethanol plant within the Renewables segment. The plant has 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, so 49% of the impairment charge was represented in Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Total long-term debt, less: current maturities	$	576,489	$	492,518	$	563,447

The total borrowing capacity of the Company's lines of credit at June 30, 2023, was $1,869.1 million of which the Company had a total of $1,740.7 million available for borrowing. The Company's borrowing capacity is reduced by a combination of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

As of June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $597.6 million, $595.7 million and $617.5 million, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt based upon the Company’s credit standing and current interest rates offered to the Company on similar bonds and rates currently available to the Company for long-term borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into a $100 million 8-year term loan with approximately half of the proceeds used to repay current maturities of long-term debt. The remainder of the proceeds will be used to pay down a portion of outstanding line of credit borrowings. Payment of principal and interest will be made on a quarterly basis. The loan will bear interest at variable rates.

On April 18, 2023, ELEMENT was placed into receivership. As the receiver took control of ELEMENT within the quarter, 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 the deconsolidation, the $62.8 million of non-recourse debt associated with ELEMENT was removed from Current maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2023.

The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2023.

5. 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.

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 at June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, 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 current or non-current commodity derivative assets (or liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Interest Rate and Other 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 of variable amounts from 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 (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense 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 as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

The Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's other derivatives:

6. 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, many of the Company's Trade and Renewables sales contracts are derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The breakdown of revenues between ASC 606 and ASC 815 is as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Revenues under ASC 606	$	975,269	$	956,013	$	1,714,247	$	1,633,869

Substantially all of the Company's revenues accounted for under ASC 606 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are recorded at a point in time instead of over time.

Contract balances

The balances of the Company’s contract liabilities were $15.9 million and $55.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference 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 received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. Due to seasonality of this business, contract liabilities are built up through the first quarter in preparation for the spring application season. As expected, the revenue recognized in the current period satisfied the contract liabilities throughout the spring application season for our Nutrient & Industrial segment.

7. Income Taxes

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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $21.7 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 20.8% on income before income taxes from continuing operations of $104.4 million. The difference between the 20.8% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, discrete tax expense of $1.4 million was recorded on income before taxes of $6.5 million related to gain on deconsolidation of the ELEMENT joint venture.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.8 million. The Company’s effective tax rate was 13.3% on income before income taxes from continuing operations of $118.2 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.8 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 40.2% on income before income taxes from continuing operations of $39.4 million. The difference between the 40.2% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest, state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a net discrete income tax benefit of $10.6 million was recorded on a net loss before taxes of $88.8 million related to the current year operations, impairment charge, and gain on deconsolidation associated with ELEMENT.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $19.9 million. The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.4% on income before income taxes from continuing operations of $128.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.

Total	$	274,823	$	209,197	$	16,803	$	500,823

(a)Includes associated cash posted/received as collateral.

(b)Included in "Provisionally priced contracts" are those instruments based only on underlying futures values (Level 1) and delayed price contracts (Level 2).

(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 under which 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. | Q2 2023 Form 10-Q | 20

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.

A reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the Company’s fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs is as follows:


	Convertible Preferred Securities

12. Segment Information

The Company’s operations include three reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered as well as the structure of management. The Trade business includes commodity merchandising and the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities. The Renewables business produces ethanol and co-products through its four co-owned and fully consolidated ethanol production facilities as well as purchases and sells ethanol and ethanol co-products. The Nutrient & Industrial (formerly Plant Nutrient) business manufactures and distributes plant nutrient products such as agricultural inputs, primarily fertilizers and turf care products along with industrial products such as deicers, dust abatement solutions and corncob-based products. The segment was rebranded in 2023 to reflect the portfolio of market offerings in the segment. The Other category includes other corporate level costs not attributable to an operating segment and intercompany eliminations between the segments.

The segment information below includes the allocation of expenses shared by one or more operating segments. Although management believes such allocations are reasonable, the operating information does not necessarily reflect how such data might appear if the segments were operated as separate businesses. The Company does not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total revenues.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation activities

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 all other outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible are not material.

Total	$	12,441	$	16,792	$	20,445	$	20,710

Individually significant items included in the table above are:

Gain on deconsolidation of joint venture - On April 18, 2023, ELEMENT was placed into receivership. As the receiver took control of ELEMENT within the quarter, 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. See footnote 15 for additional information.

Property insurance recoveries - In 2023, property insurance recoveries consisted of proceeds of $2.2 million relating to a conveyor collapse in Delhi, Louisiana in the prior year, the remaining proceeds consists of several individually insignificant amounts in the ordinary course of business. In 2022, property insurance recoveries consisted of proceeds of approximately $3.0 million relating to a prior period incident at the Company’s Galena Park, Texas facility, the remaining proceeds consists of several individually insignificant amounts in the ordinary course of business.

Interest income - The Company earns interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in money market accounts at TAMH along with inventory financing programs provided by the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the money market account at TAMH earned $1.0 million and the inventory financing program earned $1.1 million , the remaining interest income consists of several individually insignificant amounts in the ordinary course of business. Interest income for the year ended June 30, 2022 consisted of individually insignificant amounts in the ordinary course of business.

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

Gain on sale of frac sand assets - Gains on sale of frac sand assets for the year ended June 30, 2022, consisted of gains on the sale of the Company’s remaining frac sand facilities and assets in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and North Branch, Minnesota of $4.0 million.

Biofuel Producer Program funds - In 2022, the USDA as a part of the Biofuel Producer Program, created under the CARES Act, provided funding to support biofuel producers who faced unexpected market losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program TAMH and ELEMENT received proceeds of $13.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Of these proceeds $8.9 million was attributable to the Company and the remaining $8.7 million attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Equity earnings (losses) in affiliates - In 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge on a Canadian equity method investment for $4.5 million, the remaining equity earnings (losses) in affiliates consists of individually insignificant activity in the ordinary course of business.

15. ELEMENT

ELEMENT was structured as a limited liability company established for the primary purpose of producing ethanol and additional co-products such as distiller’s dried grain and corn oil. The facility located in Colwich, Kansas was designed to produce 70 million gallons of ethanol per year and began operations in August 2019.

The Company holds 51% of the membership units and ICM Holdings, Inc. (“ICM”) owns the remaining 49% of the membership units. The Company acted as the manager of the facility, responsibilities which were assumed per the Management Services Agreement dated January 1, 2021, and it was concluded to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and consolidated ELEMENT within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The plant has faced operational and market-based challenges. These challenges have been exacerbated by a shift in the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard credit markets and high western corn basis. In early 2023, ELEMENT was unable to make its scheduled debt payments and was placed into default. The default led to an impairment triggering event, concluding in an $87.2 million impairment charge in the first quarter.

On April 18, 2023, ELEMENT was placed into receivership and was appointed a receiver, which took possession and control of the rights and interests of ELEMENT. The facility is being marketed for sale. 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 which resulted in a pretax gain of $18.1 million. Additionally, the Company had a $9.6 million balance in raw material and fee receivables as well as $2.0 million in loans and interest due from ELEMENT that were previously eliminated in consolidation. Upon deconsolidation, the fair values of these receivables and loans from ELEMENT to the Company were ascertained to have no value and were fully reserved for resulting in a pretax loss of $11.6 million. The combination of this activity triggered by the ELEMENT deconsolidation resulted in a cumulative net pretax gain of $6.5 million which was recorded in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of June 30, 2023, ELEMENT has continued to incur losses and there have been no payments on the outstanding receivables or loan mentioned previously. No equity method losses related to ELEMENT have been recorded since deconsolidation as the investment is in a negative position as of June 30, 2023.

16. Subsequent Events

On July 10, 2023, the Company closed on the purchase of the assets of ACJ International LLC ("ACJ"), an ingredient, logistics, and supply chain management company in the pet food industry, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The Company purchased ACJ for $41.4 million, of which, $24.4 million was paid at closing and the remaining estimated amount will be paid over three years based on certain earn-out provisions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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, the ongoing economic impacts from the war in Ukraine, 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 2022 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 2022 Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the second quarter of 2023.

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 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 second quarter operating results were mixed as overall gross profit declined despite strong earnings from certain well-positioned merchandising businesses. Throughput of agricultural inventories declined from the second quarter of 2022. When combined with the strong first quarter, income before income taxes and gross profit remain ahead of 2022 even without $16.1 million of inventory insurance recoveries recorded thus far in 2023. The first half of 2022 included certain margin impacts from the Russian invasion of Ukraine that were not repeated in the first half of 2023. Recent investments in food and pet food ingredients also contributed to earnings in the quarter. Winter wheat volume accumulated from the just-completed harvest was higher than expected and at good qualities in our core geography.

Agricultural inventories on hand were 74.5 million and 107.0 million bushels at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, 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 175 million bushels at June 30, 2023, which was comparable to the prior year.

With the strong South American harvest, combined with improving U.S. crop conditions, the outlook for global grain stocks has improved. With the mix of assets and merchandising capabilities across key geographies, Trade is well-positioned. While there continues to be geopolitical risks in areas in which we do business, including certain countries that have controlled currencies, the unrest surrounding Black Sea grain shipments could result in continued volatility in commodity markets.

Renewables

The Renewables segment's second quarter operating results were good on rallying crush margins and strong co-product values. While the results decreased year over year, the prior year results included approximately $24.4 million in additional mark-to-market gains and $17.6 million of proceeds received as a part of the USDA Biofuel Producer Program enacted as a part of the CARES Act, of which $8.9 million was attributable to the Company. When the impact of these items is removed from prior year results, the current year operating results are well ahead of the prior year. Ethanol crush margins strengthened over the quarter and the current margin outlook, despite volatility, remains strong. Production facilities operated efficiently in the quarter with improved ethanol and corn oil yield and lower costs than the comparable quarter in 2022. The merchandising businesses, including renewable diesel feedstocks, continue to deliver solid earnings on higher volumes and strong co-product values, and exceeded our second quarter 2022 results. Our eastern corn belt production facilities remain well-positioned for corn supply.

Ethanol and related co-products volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Nutrient & Industrial

The Nutrient & Industrial segment's second quarter operating results improved from the prior year. After a slow first quarter of 2023 when reduced sales reflected delayed purchasing in a falling price environment, customers returned during the 2023 spring application season driving increased tons sold from the second quarter of 2022. Gross profit improved by $4 million, and reflects these higher volumes partially offset by margin compression from overall market price declines. Strong corn prices are expected to drive demand on specialty liquid products with fall conditions and market dynamics influencing second half volumes as we transition to the off season.

Storage capacity at our Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids facilities, including leased storage, was approximately 448 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 510 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2023, which is similar to the prior year.

Tons of product sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,

Specialty Liquids	141	129	222	238
Engineered Granules	46	56	109	120
Total tons	861	710	1,175	1,067

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. Prior year volumes have been reclassified for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, to conform with current year presentation as the product mix in certain facilities has evolved.

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 from continuing operations, 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 from continuing operations is a useful measure of the Company’s performance because 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 from continuing operations, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

Trade

Operating results for the Trade segment decreased by $18.7 million from the same period of the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $401.0 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $379.7 million that resulted in decreased gross profit of $21.3 million. The vast majority of the decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues is attributable to sharp commodity price decreases from the prior year as the war in Ukraine created uncertainty around global supply which drove commodity prices higher in 2022. The decrease in gross profit was a result of a $13.1 million decline from lower elevation margins in our asset-based business and a $10.2 million decline in the premium ingredients business, as the exceptional prior year results benefited from the significant rise in commodity prices.

Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $6.2 million. The increase from the prior year is primarily related to $3.3 million in additional bad debt expense, $1.7 million in additional clean-up costs from a prior year fire at a Michigan grain asset and $1.1 million in additional insurance expenses.

Interest expense decreased by $2.4 million due to reduced short-term borrowings from lower commodity prices in addition to the business managing working capital usage in the higher interest rate environment in 2023.

Other income, net increased by $6.4 million from the same quarter of 2022. This increase was a result of an impairment of one of the Company's equity method investments of approximately $4.5 million in the prior year in addition to $2.0 million from insurance recoveries in the current year.

Renewables

Operating results for the Renewables segment declined by $7.0 million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $4.8 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $13.2 million compared to prior year results. As a result, gross profit increased by $8.4 million compared to 2022 results. The deconsolidation of ELEMENT in the second quarter resulted in a reduction of both sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues of approximately $60 million. The reduction of both sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues were partially offset by increased third-party trading volumes mainly in the renewable diesel feedstocks merchandising business. The increase to gross profit in the current period results reflect a $27.7 million margin improvement at the ethanol plants, primarily from improved ethanol margins and increased co-product values which was partially offset by unfavorable unrealized mark-to-market adjustments of $21.8 million when compared to the prior year.

Operating, administrative and general expenses decreased by $1.0 million from the prior year, of which, the majority was due to the deconsolidation of ELEMENT operations early in the second quarter.

Other income, net decreased from the prior year by $11.0 million due to $17.6 million in proceeds received in the prior year as a part of the USDA Biofuel Producer Program. In 2023, the Company recorded a $6.5 million gain on the deconsolidation of the ELEMENT joint venture.

Nutrient & Industrial

Operating results for the Nutrient & Industrial segment increased by $4.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $24.7 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $28.7 million resulting in an $4.0 million increase in gross profit. The decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues was due to fertilizer prices decreasing approximately 50% from the prior year. This decrease in fertilizer prices from the prior year was partially offset by increased demand as volumes sold increased by approximately 21% in the second quarter of the current year. The increase in gross profit was mainly driven by a $12.4 million favorable impact from the increased volumes sold which was partially offset by an $8.4 million decrease in sales margins from the prior year.

Other

Results for the quarter improved by $1.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The improvement in results was primarily driven by a $1.0 million reduction of incentive compensation expense when compared to the same quarter of prior year.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $21.7 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 20.8% on income before taxes from continuing operations of $104.4 million. The difference between the 20.8% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, discrete tax expense of $1.4 million was recorded on income before taxes of $6.5 million related to a gain on the deconsolidation of a joint venture.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.8 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 13.3% on income from continuing operations of $118.2 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% due to the tax impact of certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local taxes and nondeductible compensation.

Trade

Operating results for the Trade segment increased by $17.0 million from the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $607.9 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $636.1 million for an increased gross profit impact of $28.3 million. The vast majority of the decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues is attributable to sharp commodity price decreases from the prior year as the war in Ukraine created uncertainty around global supply which drove commodity prices higher in 2022. The $28.3 million increase in gross profit was mainly related to the performance of both the assets and merchandising businesses. The asset-based business contributed approximately $10.4 million to gross profit as it recorded approximately $16.1 million worth of inventory insurance recoveries, which were partially offset by lower elevation margins when compared to the prior year. The merchandising business contributed approximately $19.7 million to gross profit as well-positioned inventories generated strong margins, with a $9.4 million decline in the premium ingredients business that couldn't repeat exceptional prior year results from the significant rise in commodity prices that occurred during that period.

Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $18.6 million from the same period of prior year. The main drivers of the increase relate to an additional $5.2 million in insurable clean-up costs in the current quarter related to a fire at a Michigan grain asset, $5.0 million from new merchandising locations, $3.3 million in additional bad debt expense, and $2.0 million in increased insurance expenses.

Interest expense increased by $1.2 million due to rising interest rates which were partially offset by lower short-term borrowings as the Company continues to manage working capital.

Other income, net increased by $8.6 million from the same period of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to favorable changes in foreign currency of $5.4 million when compared to the prior year along with approximately $2.0 million of property insurance recoveries in the current year.

Renewables

Operating results for Renewables decreased by $50.6 million from the same period of prior year, primarily due to the asset impairment charge discussed below. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $151.5 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $142.5 million compared to prior year. As a result, gross profit increased by $9.0 million to the prior year. The increase in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues are mainly due to increased third-party trading volumes mainly in the renewable diesel feedstocks as that business has grown significantly from the prior year. The increase in volumes was partially offset from the tapering down of operations at the ELEMENT facility and the ultimate deconsolidation of the entity that occurred in April of 2023 resulting in a reduction from the prior period of approximately $65 million in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues, respectively. The remainder of the decrease is associated to decreased commodity prices that were partially offset by higher volumes in the third-party trading of renewable diesel feedstocks. The gross profit associated with the ethanol plants was $23.8 million higher than the prior year from improved ethanol crush margins and increased co-product values which was partially offset by unfavorable unrealized mark-to-market adjustments of $14.0 million when compared to the prior year.

An asset impairment charge of $87.2 million related to the ELEMENT ethanol plant in Colwich, Kansas was recorded in the current year. As ELEMENT was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company at the time, the entire impairment charge is represented in Asset impairment.

Interest expense increased by $0.9 million due to rising interest rates on the Company's short-term line of credit compared to the prior year.

Other income, net decreased from the prior year by $10.6 million due to $17.6 million in proceeds received in the prior year as a part of the USDA Biofuel Producer Program that was enacted as a part of the CARES Act. In 2023, the Company recorded a $6.5 million gain on the deconsolidation of the ELEMENT joint venture.

Nutrient & Industrial

Operating results for the Nutrient & Industrial segment decreased by $16.9 million compared to record results through the second quarter of prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased $70.8 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $53.1 million resulting in decreased gross profit of $17.7 million. The decrease in sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues was mainly due to the reset of fertilizer prices from the record high prices resulting from an already tight supply market and exaggerated by the war in Ukraine in the first half of 2022. Although fertilizer prices decreased approximately 50% from the prior year, the Company experienced a significant increase in volumes in the later stages of the first half of 2023 as demand shifted from first quarter to the second which partially offset the impact of decreased fertilizer prices when compared to the prior year. Gross profit decreased from the prior year by approximately $24.8 million due to margin decreases and was partially offset by increased sales volumes of $7.1 million.

Operating, administrative and general expenses decreased by $1.9 million due to reduced incentive compensation when compared to results in the prior year.

Interest expense increased by $0.8 million due to rising interest rates on the Company's short-term line of credit compared to the prior year.

Other

Other expenses were consistent with the same period last year as higher health insurance claims from the Company's self-funded medical insurance plan in the current year were largely offset by a modest gain on a cost method investment.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.8 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 40.2% on income before taxes from continuing operations of $39.4 million. The difference between the 40.2% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest, state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a net discrete income tax benefit of $10.6 million was recorded on a net loss before taxes of $88.8 million related to the current year operations, impairment charge, and gain on the deconsolidation of a joint venture.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $19.9 million. The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.4% on income from continuing operations of $128.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.

The Company’s subsidiary partnership returns are under federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the tax years 2015 through 2018, respectively. The Company’s subsidiary is under federal tax examination by the Mexican tax authorities for tax year 2015. The IRS 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 $2.9 million to $8.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

At June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital from continuing operations of $1,144.0 million, an increase of $160.0 million from the prior year. This increase was attributable to changes in the following components of current assets from continuing operations and current liabilities from continuing operations:


(in thousands)	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022		Variance
Current Assets from Continuing Operations:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	96,293	$	86,035	$	10,258

Current maturities of long-term debt	27,511		53,951		(26,440)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	180,552		211,830		(31,278)
Total current liabilities from continuing operations	$	1,393,239	$	2,570,262	$	(1,177,023)
Working Capital from Continuing Operations	$	1,144,026	$	983,990	$	160,036

Current assets from continuing operations as of June 30, 2023 decreased $1,017.0 million in comparison to those as of June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily related to the change in inventories and current commodity derivative assets. The decreases in those accounts can largely be attributed to the stabilization of agricultural commodity prices in the current year in comparison to the significant increases in the prices of agricultural commodities, including fertilizer, that the Company transacts in the ordinary course of business in the same period of the prior year.

Current liabilities from continuing operations decreased $1,177.0 million from the prior year mainly due to the decreased utilization of the Company's short-term revolving credit line. The decreased use of the short-term revolving credit line is a result of the stabilization of commodity prices in the year compared to the severe increase in commodity prices in the same period of the prior year, as well as a strategic focus on managing short-term debt in light of the rising interest rate environment.

Operating Activities

Our operating activities provided cash of $207.4 million and used cash of $721.8 million in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash provided was primarily due to the decreased working capital needs driven by significant decreases in agricultural commodity prices when compared to the same period in the prior year. When the changes in operating assets and liabilities are removed and excluding inventory insurance recoveries, cash provided by operating activities was slightly lower than prior year.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $71.7 million through the first six months of 2023 compared to $30.1 million in the prior period. Spending for purchases of property, plant and equipment increased by approximately $31.5 million from the prior year from increased investments across all segments. The prior year also includes approximately $6.2 million of additional net proceeds from the Company's exit of the Rail business.

We expect to invest approximately $125 million to $150 million in property, plant and equipment in 2023, with spending split evenly between growth projects and maintenance.

Financing Activities

Financing activities used cash of $155.0 million and provided cash of $622.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This decrease from the prior year was due to the significant increase in agricultural commodity prices in the prior period and the related need for short-term borrowings. Agricultural commodity prices have decreased in the current year and the Company is operating in a much more stable pricing environment in 2023 which requires much less borrowing on the Company's short-term credit facilities.

The Company is party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of $1,869.1 million in borrowing capacity. Of the total capacity, $265.4 million is non-recourse to the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1,740.7 million available for borrowing with $231.1 million of that total being non-recourse to the Company.

The Company paid $12.5 million in dividends in the first six months of 2023 compared to $12.2 million paid in the prior period. The Company paid dividends of $0.185 and $0.18 per common share in January and April of 2023 and 2022, respectively. On June 23, 2023, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.185 per common share payable on July 24, 2023, to shareholders of record on July 3, 2023.

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 June 30, 2023. In addition, certain of our long-term borrowings are collateralized by first mortgages on various facilities.

Because the Company is a significant borrower of short-term debt in peak seasons and the majority of this is variable rate debt, increases in interest rates could have a significant impact on our profitability. In addition, periods of high grain prices and/or unfavorable market conditions 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding of $25.8 million.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of June 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2023, identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 13, “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. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2022 Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
