- EBITDA was $131 million for the quarter, and adjusted EBITDA was $135 million

"Renewables had an excellent fourth quarter with record ethanol production and strong corn to ethanol yields at our four ethanol plants. We continued to have great operating performance and also benefited from strong board crush margins. In Trade, our eastern grain assets had good results from improving basis after a later harvest coupled with income from drying wet corn. In Nutrient & Industrial, we had a mixed quarter with year-over-year improvement from our ag supply chain product lines," said President and CEO Pat Bowe. "With these results, we are reporting a 30% year-over-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, leading to a full year adjusted EBITDA of $405 million, just behind last year's record of $412 million, and well above our previously disclosed range of $350-$375 million."
"Looking forward, we acknowledge a shift in fundamentals of the commodity markets with increased global stocks. Our mix of North American storage and ethanol production assets and combined with strength in merchandising positions us well to benefit from these market shifts," added Bowe. "We have seen good results from our recent investments in ingredients supplied for pet and human consumption. We are actively pursuing opportunities for growth in the Renewables space, including carbon reduction plans and increased renewable diesel feedstock merchandising. Across our businesses, we have a robust pipeline of opportunities that include both investment in our facilities and M&A with a strong balance sheet to support this growth."

Cash, Liquidity, and Long-Term Debt Management
"Strong operating cash flows continued into the fourth quarter. Our significant cash position and minimal short-term borrowings resulted in cash in excess of total debt at year end," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine. "Our long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.5 times is well below our stated target of 2.5 times. With a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to fund good growth projects with appropriate returns."
The company generated $251 million and $440 million in cash from operating activities for the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and generated $122 million and $90 million in cash from operations before working capital changes for the same periods, respectively.
For the full years of 2023 and 2022, the company generated $947 million and $287 million in cash from operating activities, respectively. Cash from operations before working capital changes for the same years was $330 million and $315 million, leading to a December 31, 2023, cash balance of $644 million.
Fourth Quarter Segment Overview
Trade Posts Strong Fourth Quarter Driven by Grain Assets
Trade recorded pretax income of $44 million and adjusted pretax income of $47 million for the quarter, compared to pretax income of $27 million and record adjusted pretax income of $52 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
Strong elevation margins in core grain assets through harvest drove the results with strong basis appreciation and drying income from a wet corn crop. The merchandising businesses realized solid results but down from last year, primarily on weakness in the Middle East and North Africa region. Our premium ingredients business experienced significant improvements from the prior year, as recent acquisitions and other growth capital investments provided strong returns.
Ag fundamentals are shifting due to increased global supply. Our mix of assets and merchandising businesses provide a solid foundation for us to benefit from large crops and carry markets. With lower commodity prices, domestic producers are hesitant to forward sell, but our assets are well-positioned for the grains to flow in due course. With continuing global unrest, volatility exists in key international shipping lanes which could provide ongoing merchandising opportunities.
Trade's fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $62 million, compared to fourth quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA of $72 million. Full year adjusted EBITDA decreased from a record $199 million in 2022 to $155 million in 2023.
Renewables Posts Another Outstanding Quarter
The Renewables segment reported record pretax income of $60 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $33 million in the fourth quarter compared to pretax income of $19 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter ethanol board crush margins were up $0.20/gallon and natural gas prices were down when compared to the same quarter in 2022. Our four ethanol plants had record production in the fourth quarter, further capitalizing on the favorable margin environment. Renewable diesel feedstock merchandising results also grew on increased sales volumes and a further diversified product portfolio.
While spot ethanol crush margins have softened into 2024, the first quarter generally experiences seasonally weak margins. Upcoming planned maintenance in the industry and the spring driving rebound should support improved plant economics; however, co-product values are facing headwinds as weaker corn prices are expected to compress feed values.
Renewables recorded EBITDA of $73 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 2022 fourth quarter EBITDA of $36 million. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA of $230 million in 2023, was a record and an increase of almost $50 million from 2022.
Nutrient & Industrial Shows Improvement on Prior Year
Nutrient & Industrial recorded pretax income of $1 million and adjusted pretax income of $2 million in the fourth quarter, a slight improvement to the prior year, on an adjusted basis. The increased results are primarily due to higher volumes in our core agriculture products. Adjusted results include $2 million of expense related to a standstill payment for a growth project that did not come to fruition. We remain optimistic for a good spring application season as nutrient prices have stabilized, and farm economics should still incentivize application of crop inputs.
Nutrient & Industrial's current quarter EBITDA was $10 million and adjusted EBITDA was $11 million, comparable to 2022 fourth quarter EBITDA. For the full year, Nutrient & Industrial recorded EBITDA of $61 million and adjusted EBITDA of $62 million in 2023, down from EBITDA of $73 million in 2022.

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. |
