The Andersons, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results
MAUMEE, Ohio, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Andersons, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDE) announces financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
First Quarter Highlights:
- Company reported net income attributable to The Andersons of $15.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, and adjusted net income of $15.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $80.2 million for the quarter, up $69.0 million year over year.
- Trade reported pretax income of$13.9 million and adjusted pretax income of $14.3 million on strong merchandising results.
- Ethanol reported pretax income attributable to The Andersons of $2.9 million as ethanol prices and co-product margins improved.
- Plant Nutrient reported pretax income of $8.5 million on solid volume and margins.
- Rail reported pretax income of $4.9 million on railcar sales and credit recoveries.
"We are very pleased with the start to 2021 in this demand-driven agriculture rally. These results are our best first quarter performance since 2014 and reflect good execution coupled with the results of our multi-year cost reduction project. Commodity price volatility and market dislocations have created merchandising opportunities in many of the commodity supply chains that we touch in our Trade business and we expect that this will continue in the near term," said President and CEO Pat Bowe.
"Ethanol margins have improved significantly with ethanol prices reaching levels not seen in over six years, combined with strong margins on our newer high-protein feed and other co-products," added Bowe. "Plant Nutrient had its best first quarter since 2008 with increased volume and strong margins that we expect will continue into the peak planting season. Finally, while Rail has been slower to recover, it has also seen improved results."

Liquidity and Cash Management
"Our improved operating performance led to strong cash flow from operations before working capital changes of $89 million for the first quarter," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine. "We were able to reduce total long-term debt by more than $35 million and maintained discipline over capital spending in the quarter. We continue to monitor the commodity price impact on our working capital lines and expect that short-term borrowings will continue at a higher level over the next few quarters; we have strong support from our lenders and expect that our capacity will be sufficient to cover our needs. We remain very focused on overall liquidity, disciplined risk management, and expense control."
The company has invested $16 million, net of proceeds from asset sales, on capital projects in the quarter. This is a reduction from 2020, primarily resulting from fewer railcar purchases, and the company expects to spend approximately $100 million in 2021.
Readily marketable inventories of $942 million at March 31, 2021, are supported by short-term borrowings of $915 million. The balance of readily marketable inventories is a significant increase from the March 31, 2020, balances. Short-term borrowings, while typically at a seasonal high in the spring, are further driven by the recent spike in commodity prices.
First Quarter Segment Overview
Trade Records $23 Million Improvement Driven by Merchandising Income
The Trade segment recorded improved adjusted pretax income of $14.3 million for the quarter compared to an adjusted pretax loss of $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. The difference in reported and adjusted income in both periods was attributable to stock compensation expense associated with the 2019 acquisition of Lansing Trade Group.
Strong commodity merchandising results are driving nearly all of the year over year improvement, including higher volumes in our propane business. Good positioning and execution within other domestic and export markets has also contributed to year over year improved performance. Operating expenses for the segment were down more than $11 million due to our multi-year cost reduction efforts.
The business continues to benefit from merchandising execution in this volatile, demand-driven market. While the volume of grain in store is expected to remain at levels below recent years for some time, high prices and strong elevation margins are expected to continue at least until the next harvest.
Trade's first quarter adjusted EBITDA was $32.5 million, up significantly over first quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million.
Ethanol Improvement of nearly $27 Million on Improved Co-Product Values and Trading
The Ethanol segment reported pretax income attributable to the company of $2.9 million in the first quarter compared to the pretax loss attributable to the company of $24.0 million it realized in the same period in 2020.
The quarter over quarter improvement was driven by strong co-product margins at the five ethanol plants resulting from the overall price inflation of corn and soybean meal, improved margins for distiller's corn oil and incremental margins on merchandising of vegetable oil and ethanol trading. The segment recorded a non-cash mark-to-market charge of $1.1 million in 2021 compared to a charge of $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, a result of the ethanol market's reaction to the pandemic-related reductions in demand that began in March of last year.
Production volumes in the quarter were down slightly compared to 2020 and accelerated maintenance shutdowns at two plants occurred in March of 2021. Sales volumes for ethanol and corn oil are higher; driven by a larger portion of third party sales from the trading business. Ethanol board crush margins have improved significantly during the quarter as driving demand rebounds.
Ethanol recorded EBITDA of $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, up from 2020 first quarter EBITDA of $(17.5) million.
Plant Nutrient Best First Quarter since 2008; Rail Best Quarter since Fourth Quarter 2018
The Plant Nutrient segment posted a strong quarter, with year over year improvement of $9.7 million, recording pretax income of $8.5 million in the first quarter compared to a pretax loss of $1.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Demand was strong in the segment with an 18% increase in tons sold, in addition to stronger margins. Plant Nutrient's current quarter EBITDA was $16.0 million compared to 2020 first quarter EBITDA of $6.9 million. Improvements were experienced across the breadth of product lines and reflect demand from favorable early spring weather, strong grower income, and well-positioned inventory.
Rail recorded first quarter pretax income of $4.9 million compared to $1.0 million of pretax income in the same period of the prior year. Its first quarter 2021 EBITDA was $17.0 million compared to its first quarter 2020 EBITDA of $14.4 million. High scrap steel prices allowed us to scrap older railcars where it made economic sense and, with credit recoveries, led to the improvement in the Leasing business.
Income Taxes; Corporate
The company has recorded income taxes at an effective rate of 30.2% and anticipates a full year effective rate of approximately 29%. This rate increase is a result of additional U.S. tax on income earned in foreign jurisdictions and non-deductible compensation expense.
Increases in Corporate expense are primarily a result of increased variable incentive compensation as a product of the strong first quarter performance. Year over year cost reductions, resulting from our cost savings initiatives, are reflected in our business segments.

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. |
