  • Renewables segment pretax income dropped to $16 million from $32.7 million YoY

Insights

The Q4 2024 results reveal a company successfully navigating challenging agricultural markets while maintaining robust operational efficiency. The Trade segment's record performance of $54 million in pretax income demonstrates strong execution in core operations, particularly in elevation margins and merchandising activities. This success during an early harvest season indicates excellent operational timing and market positioning.

The balance sheet metrics are particularly impressive, with $562 million in cash and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.8x - well below the company's target of 2.5x. This financial flexibility positions ANDE strongly for its planned growth initiatives, including strategic investments in Renewables and the recent Skyland Grain acquisition.

Operating cash flow generation remains solid at $269 million for Q4, though the full-year figure of $332 million shows a significant decrease from 2023's $947 million. This decline primarily reflects normalized working capital movements rather than operational issues, as evidenced by the stable cash flow before working capital changes of $323 million versus $330 million in 2023.

The Renewables segment's performance, while down year-over-year, demonstrates operational excellence with record production volumes offsetting some of the impact from lower ethanol prices. The $0.16/gallon decrease in crush margins was partially mitigated by improved operational efficiency and $0.09/gallon lower corn basis costs.

Looking ahead, several catalysts could drive performance in 2025:

  • Expected increase in planted corn acres, potentially boosting both Trade and Nutrient segments
  • Strong ethanol export demand and planned industry maintenance suggesting improved plant economics
  • Strategic initiatives to lower carbon intensity in ethanol operations, positioning for premium pricing
  • Integration benefits from the Skyland Grain acquisition enhancing trade flows

MAUMEE, Ohio, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Andersons, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDE) announces financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Financial Highlights:

  • Full year net income attributable to The Andersons of $114 million, or $3.32 per diluted share, and $117 million, or $3.40 per diluted share, on an adjusted basis
  • Fourth quarter net income attributable to The Andersons of $45 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, and $47 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, on an adjusted basis
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $363 million for the year, and $117 million for the fourth quarter
  • Trade reported record fourth quarter pretax income of $54 million on solid operations
  • Renewables reported pretax income of $25 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $16 million on efficient plant performance and solid merchandising
  • Strong balance sheet; healthy cash flows result in a cash balance of $562 million

"Trade had an excellent fourth quarter, with an early harvest, where we were able to accumulate higher-than-normal quality grain at good basis values. We also saw some improved merchandising opportunities and good results in our premium ingredients business. We are integrating Skyland Grain, LLC locations into our trade flows and this report includes two months of results from that recent investment. Renewables also had a very solid quarter but could not duplicate 2023 despite record ethanol production due to lower ethanol prices and co-product values. In Nutrient & Industrial, we had year-over-year improvement led by our manufactured product lines that helped offset soft ag supply chain results due to limited farmer engagement," said President and CEO Bill Krueger. "In these changing ag markets, I'm proud of our team."

"Looking forward, we see continued regulatory and geopolitical uncertainties coupled with potentially challenging agricultural economics. We also see signs of opportunity. We currently expect a significant increase in planted corn acres and continuing strong ethanol exports. Our mix of North American agribusiness and ethanol production assets along with our strength in merchandising, positions us well to withstand downward pressures from these market shifts," added Krueger. "In addition to the recent Skyland Grain investment, we are making progress on several longer-term capital investments that will enhance future results. We also continue to actively pursue growth in the Renewables space, both by lowering the carbon intensity of our ethanol plants as well as evaluating expansion and acquisition opportunities. In December, we announced some changes to improve the alignment of our commercial teams to serve our customers even better, gain operational efficiencies, and continue to drive growth. We are excited about the new Agribusiness and Renewables teams and are working hard to achieve our growth strategy."

Cash, Liquidity, and Long-Term Debt Management

"Our businesses continued to generate solid operating cash flows into the fourth quarter. Our cash flows and lower commodity prices resulted in a cash position of more than $560 million at the end of the year. In addition, our debt remains at a modest level, inclusive of debt acquired as part of the Skyland Grain investment," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine. "Our long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.8 times is still well below our stated target of 2.5 times. We were pleased to be able to deploy more capital during the quarter and anticipate increased spending on some of the previously announced growth projects in 2025."

The company generated $269 million and $251 million in cash from operating activities for the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and generated $100 million and $122 million in cash from operations before working capital changes for the same periods, respectively.

For the full years of 2024 and 2023, the company generated $332 million and $947 million in cash from operating activities, respectively. Cash from operations before working capital changes for the same years was $323 million and $330 million even with the changing ag markets.

Fourth Quarter Segment Overview

Trade Posts Record Fourth Quarter Driven by Solid Operations

Trade recorded pretax income and adjusted pretax income attributable to the company of $54 million for the quarter, compared to pretax income of $44 million and adjusted pretax income of $47 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Solid elevation margins and space income in core grain assets on an early and robust harvest drove results. The merchandising businesses realized improvements over the prior year, despite limited volatility in the grain markets. The premium ingredients business had another consistent and profitable quarter.

The portfolio mix of assets, ingredients, and merchandising businesses provides a solid foundation to benefit from large crops and carry markets, as well as tight, demand-driven markets. With a lower-than-expected corn carryout at the end of the year, an inverse has returned to the corn markets, which could result in an increase in corn acres planted and increased volatility in 2025. Domestic premium ingredient demand is also expected to stay solid and should continue to support recent capital growth investments.

Trade's fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $76 million, compared to fourth quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $62 million. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA was $161 million in 2024, compared to $155 million in 2023.

Renewables Reports Solid Quarter on Efficient Operations

The Renewables segment reported pretax income of $25 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $16 million in the fourth quarter compared to pretax income of $60 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $33 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter results were down from a prior year record, as ethanol board crush margins were down $0.16/gallon and co-product values traded lower on reduced corn prices and weaker corn oil values.  Partially offsetting these headwinds, the four ethanol plants continued to run efficiently, with record fourth quarter production, and reduced input cost, including lower corn basis of $0.09/gallon year-over-year. Third-party ethanol merchandising also saw improved profitability in 2024.

While spot ethanol crush margins are generally seasonally soft in the first quarter, a portion of first quarter volumes have been hedged at favorable levels. While there remains regulatory uncertainty, elevated export demand, upcoming planned maintenance in the industry, and the spring driving rebound should all support improved plant economics. Co-product values may also see improvement as there has been a recent rebound in corn values.

Renewables recorded EBITDA of $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 2023 fourth quarter EBITDA of $73 million. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA was $189 million in 2024, compared to $230 million 2023.

Nutrient & Industrial Shows Improvement on Prior Year

Nutrient & Industrial recorded pretax income and pretax income attributable to the company of $3 million in the fourth quarter, an improvement from the prior year. The increased results are primarily due to improvements in manufactured products and one-time prior year expenses that did not repeat. Core agriculture product lines were down year-over-year on softer industry fundamentals. With high yields during harvest pulling more nutrients from the soil and an expected increase in corn acres planted, there may be an opportunity for increased volume in 2025.

Nutrient & Industrial's current quarter EBITDA was $13 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $11 million in 2023. For the full year, Nutrient & Industrial recorded EBITDA of $57 million in 2024, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $62 million in 2023.

Income Taxes

The company recorded income tax expense at an effective rate of 20% for the fourth quarter and 15% for the year. This rate was impacted by the tax treatment of noncontrolling interests and federal tax credits; a significant portion are biofuel tax credits related to the production of cellulosic ethanol.

Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to The Andersons, Inc. reflects reported net income (loss) available to The Andersons, Inc. common shareholders after the removal of specified items described above. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the fully diluted EPS of The Andersons, Inc. after removal of the effect on EPS as reported of specified items described above. Management believes that Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to The Andersons, Inc. and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are useful measures of The Andersons, Inc. performance as they provide investors additional information about the operations of the company allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better comparability to previous periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace or be alternatives to Net income attributable to The Andersons, Inc. and Diluted earnings attributable to The Andersons, Inc. common shareholders as reported, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, or any other measures of operating results under GAAP. Earnings amounts described above have been divided by the company's average number of diluted shares outstanding for each respective period in order to arrive at an adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share amount for each specified item.
