MAUMEE, Ohio, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Andersons, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANDE) announces financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter Highlights:

Company reported net income from continuing operations attributable to The Andersons of $17.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share
EBITDA from continuing operations was $83.0 million for the quarter
Trade reported pretax income of $40.7 million on continuing strong execution
Renewables produced pretax income of $15.9 million and pretax income attributable to The Andersons of $8.4 million, a significant improvement year over year

"Great results in our Trade business led the way for this strong quarter. The team executed well and we had positive results from our base business as well as the new growth investments. The Renewables team also performed well in the quarter, despite declining ethanol crush margins and planned maintenance shutdowns. Within Plant Nutrient, ag businesses continued to see high margins, however, we took some write-downs in our lawn products inventory," said President and CEO Pat Bowe. "We also made progress against our growth strategy. We announced the acquisition of Bridge Agri - a pulses and pet food ingredients company headquartered in Lethbridge, Alberta. We also recently announced the acquisition of Mote Farm Service, a farm center located within our core geography. Bolt-on opportunities like these, that are well-aligned with our core grain and fertilizer verticals, remain very attractive growth opportunities for us."

"We celebrated the 75th anniversary of the company in August," continued Bowe. "In recognition of this important milestone, teams of employees have been volunteering for 75 acts of service in 2022 across our broad geographic footprint, honoring our commitment to service in the communities in which we operate."

Cash, Liquidity and Long-Term Debt Management

"Our businesses continue to generate strong operating cash flows and we remain disciplined in our approach to capital spending. We also began to execute share repurchases in the third quarter under our $100 million board authorization and continue to be well below our long-term debt to EBITDA target of less than 2.5 times," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine.

The company generated $568.4 million and $364.6 million in cash from operating activities for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $50.7 million and $55.6 million in cash from operations before working capital changes for the same periods, respectively. Working capital remains higher than is typical, due to business growth and high commodity prices that impact the value of inventory and accounts receivable.

Third Quarter Segment Overview

Trade Generates Strong Earnings; Record Q3 Adjusted Earnings

The Trade segment recorded pretax income of $40.7 million for the quarter compared to pretax income and adjusted pretax income of $42.0 million and $27.6 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2021. The segment benefited from strong elevation margins, particularly in early harvest geographies, and excellent merchandising results across the portfolio. In addition, well-positioned animal feed ingredients and organic food and specialty inventories generated good margins.

The majority of our assets are located in areas expected to experience above-trend yields. Continuing global supply and demand imbalances due to production shortfalls and logistical challenges are expected to keep prices relatively high and allow for continued merchandising opportunities and strong elevation margins.

Trade's third quarter EBITDA was $60.5 million, compared to third quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $43.9 million.

Renewables Generates Solid Q3 Earnings on Strong Margins; Co-Product Values Remain Strong

The Renewables segment reported pretax income of $15.9 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $8.4 million in the third quarter compared to a pretax loss of $5.2 million and a pretax loss attributable to the company of $3.6 million realized in the same period in 2021.

Nearly all of the improvement from the third quarter of 2021 resulted from better margins in our ethanol plants. This was particularly evident in our eastern plants where corn basis was lower in front of an expected good harvest. High co-product values continue to support our results. Increased corn basis in the western U.S. may negatively impact ethanol margins in that region, while our eastern corn belt production facilities are well-positioned for corn supply. Expected margin declines into the fourth quarter will negatively impact performance as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 when industry margins were at record highs.

Renewables had record third quarter EBITDA of $34.0 million in 2022, up $14.8 million from 2021 third quarter EBITDA of $19.2 million.

Plant Nutrient Ag Businesses Solid; Challenging Quarter for Manufactured Lawn Products

The Plant Nutrient segment posted a pretax loss of $11.6 million, compared to a loss in the prior year of $5.8 million in this seasonally low third quarter. As expected, margins remain strong in our core wholesale nutrients, farm centers, and specialty liquid products. In the granular and contract manufactured products, sales volume and margin declined on lower demand, production challenges, and inventory write-downs. Good fall weather and strong farm income are expected to support fall application rates in our core ag businesses.

Plant Nutrient's third quarter EBITDA was $(3.1) million compared to 2021 third quarter EBITDA of $1.8 million.

Income Taxes; Corporate

The company recorded income taxes from continuing operations at an effective rate of 28.3% for the quarter due to the tax treatment of non-controlling interests. We continue to anticipate a full-year effective rate of approximately 18% - 21%.

Cash from operations before working capital changes	$ 50,663	$ 55,614	$ 224,762	$ 237,655
¹In 2020, the Company recorded a tax receivable of $37.6 million related to the CARES Act within working capital, with a corresponding impact to deferred taxes and net income. The purpose for presenting this significant unusual item as an adjustment to cash from operations before working capital changes was to show the tax refund in the year that the cash was received. As the working capital accounts are excluded in the cash from operations before working capital changes calculation, the impact of the CARES Act to deferred taxes and net income would have made it appear that cash of $37.6 million was received in 2020 when it was still to be collected. In view of that, we removed the $37.6 million CARES Act tax refund receivable from our 2020 non-GAAP total and included $27.7 million of cash tax refunds in 2021, the year the cash was received. The remaining $9.9 million of the CARES Act tax receivable remains outstanding as of September 30, 2022. ² As a result of the Rail Leasing sale in the third quarter of the prior year, the Company reclassified a large portion of its deferred tax balance related to the accelerated depreciation of railcar assets to a tax payable. As the tax payable account resides within the "Payables and other current and non-current liabilities" it is removed in the Cash from operations before working capital calculation. Therefore, the change in the deferred balance related to the Rail Leasing sale must also be removed from the calculation to normalize the metric. 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 assets, and payables and accrued expenses 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.
