The Andersons, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter Results; Sets Earnings Records
MAUMEE, OHIO, February 15, 2022 - The Andersons, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDE) announces financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

Company reported net income attributable to The Andersons from continuing operations of $32.8 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, and adjusted net income from continuing operations of $39.2 million, or $1.14 per diluted share
Company reported its best ever fourth quarter adjusted pretax income from continuing operations
Trade reported pretax income of $18.3 million and adjusted pretax income of $26.9 million driven by strong asset and merchandising income
Renewables (formerly Ethanol) reported pretax income attributable to the company of $26.5 million, the best fourth quarter since 2013 on strong margins
Plant Nutrient posted a record fourth quarter with pretax income of $15.9 million
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $130.5 million, also a record quarter

"I'm very pleased with our performance which includes record fourth quarter results for the company and for our Plant Nutrient business. We continued to execute well throughout a good 2021 harvest, particularly in the eastern grain belt, made good operating and commercial decisions and enjoyed additional profit from growth in new markets, such as renewable diesel and supply chain extensions with our new Swiss trading office. During 2021, our teams operated safely and effectively in these strong agriculture markets leading to each of our three business segments reaching record or near-record performance in the quarter," said President and CEO Pat Bowe.

"We enjoyed strong renewable fuels margins in the fourth quarter; remained focused on risk management, effective hedging and strong operational performance; and continued to see good returns from co-products, particularly distillers' corn oil," added Bowe. "We continue to diversify revenues for this group into attractive new product lines; an example of this would be renewable diesel feedstocks. You will note that we have renamed our Ethanol segment 'Renewables' to reflect its broader scope of products and services. We continue to see robust activity in our Trade business profit centers and are focused on executing well and serving customer needs in a continuing volatile commodity environment. Finally, Plant Nutrient followed up a very strong first half with a great second half, leading to a record year. Fertilizer prices and farm income both remain high; we continue to receive good support from our suppliers in this time of tight stocks and expect continued strong performance as we move into 2022."





"We have a robust pipeline of growth projects that we are evaluating which are aligned with our strategy," stated Bowe. "Our evaluation includes both financial and business considerations and we continue to exercise discipline in our diligence processes. We are focused on organic growth projects in grain, renewables, and fertilizer as well as potential acquisitions and investments."

Cash, Liquidity and Long-Term Debt Management

“Strong operating cash flows and disciplined capital spending decisions continued into the fourth quarter,” said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine. “We are pleased with the progress we made in reducing long-term debt, which declined by more than $300 million in 2021. We have achieved our stated goal of long-term debt to EBITDA of less than 2.5 times and are well-positioned to fund good growth projects with appropriate returns."

The company generated $84.4 million and $74.6 million in cash from operations before working capital changes during the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the full years 2021 and 2020, the company generated $322.0 million and $200.9 million in cash from operations before working capital changes, respectively. In light of continuing high commodity prices, capacity in short-term funding has been maintained.

Working capital increased significantly, a result of increases in readily marketable inventory. Much of this increase is driven by increased grain on hand and continued high commodity prices.





Fourth Quarter Segment Overview

Trade Records Strong Results Driven by Grain Assets Performance

Trade recorded adjusted pretax income of $26.9 million for the quarter, a slight decline when compared to adjusted pretax income of $29.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. An asset impairment charge of $8.3 million for certain assets primarily relating to the remaining sand processing business was the main adjustment to pretax income in 2021.

Strong elevation margins in core grain assets and the additional ag supply chain businesses have added incremental gross profit and earnings. The quarter over quarter decrease reflects exceptional 2020 fourth quarter results in propane and cottonseed performance that did not fully repeat as well as reduced earnings in the sand business.

Ag supply chain opportunities are expected to remain strong into 2022. Continued demand and uncertainty about growing conditions in global grain production regions has resulted in continued high commodity prices post-harvest and can make U.S. grain production increasingly important.

Trade’s fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $41.9 million, compared to fourth quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA of $45.8 million. Its full year adjusted EBITDA increased from $95.5 million in 2020 to a record $150.9 million in 2021, primarily as a result of improved full year elevation margin and merchandising improvements.

Renewables Posts Best Fourth Quarter Since 2013

The Renewables segment reported pretax income attributable to the company of $26.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to a pretax loss attributable to the company of $3.5 million in the same period in 2020. Ethanol crush margins for the 2021 fourth quarter were significantly higher than those realized in the fourth quarter of 2020 and record corn oil prices also contributed to the improved results.

Sales volumes for ethanol, corn oil, and feed ingredients were up, driven by higher production and additional third-party sales from the merchandising business. Hedges on forward ethanol sales are in place for a portion of expected 2022 production. More recently, spot ethanol crush margins have declined and are expected to be closer to historical averages and seasonally move with driving demand. Corn oil demand is expected to remain high and merchandising of third-party renewable feedstocks should remain strong.

Renewables recorded EBITDA of $78.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, up significantly from 2020 fourth quarter EBITDA of $16.2 million.





Plant Nutrient Achieves Record Year

Plant Nutrient recorded pretax income of $15.9 million in the fourth quarter compared to pretax income of $3.2 million in the same period of 2020. Gross profit increased over $8.6 million from strong margins in agricultural and industrial product lines resulting from continued strength in both fertilizer prices and farmer income. While a smaller portion of the business, manufactured products were negatively impacted by raw material and plant labor availability as well as wage inflation. Full year pretax income of $42.6 million was also a record.

Plant Nutrient’s current quarter EBITDA was $23.5 million compared to 2020 fourth quarter EBITDA of $10.8 million. For the full year, Plant Nutrient recorded EBITDA of $72.9 million in 2021, an increase of more than 50% from $47.2 million in 2020 as a result of margin expansion and strong demand. Agricultural fundamentals remain strong. Fertilizers will benefit from continuing limited supply and elevated fertilizer prices but are not expected to experience significant price increases as in 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The company calculates adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specified items and adding back the amounts of interest expense, tax expense and depreciation and amortization to net income (loss). Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the company’s performance as it provides investors additional information about the company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and improved comparability to prior periods. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace or be an alternative to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Cash from operations before working capital changes is defined as cash provided by (used in) operating activities before the impact of changes in working capital within the statement of cash flows. The company calculates cash from operations by eliminating the effect of changes in accounts receivable, inventories, commodity derivatives, other current and non-current assets, and payables and other current and non-current liabilities; and adjusted by specific items from the cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Management believes that cash from operations before working capital changes is a useful measure of the company’s performance as it provides investors additional information about the company’s operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and improved comparability to prior periods. Cash from operations before working capital changes is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace or be an alternative to cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
