NEWS RELEASE

The Andersons, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results

MAUMEE, OHIO, May 6, 2025 - The Andersons, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDE) announces financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

First Quarter Highlights:

•Company reported net income attributable to The Andersons of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share

•Adjusted EBITDA was $57 million

•Renewables reported pretax income of $25 million and pretax income attributable to The Andersons of $15 million on strong operating performance and solid merchandising

•Agribusiness recorded a pretax loss of $10 million and breakeven adjusted pretax income attributable to The Andersons on stagnant market conditions

"We had mixed results in a turbulent first quarter. The Renewables segment performed well and our ethanol plants had strong operating efficiency and financial results. Coupled with the performance of our ethanol and renewable diesel feedstock merchandising, the segment produced one of its best first quarters. In Agribusiness, we faced challenging markets as global trade uncertainties disrupted typical grain flows and caused many of our commercial customers to focus on just-in-time purchasing. Our agronomy team is off to a good start with product well-positioned for the upcoming planting season," said President and CEO Bill Krueger. "As planting progresses, we see ample second quarter opportunities for our agronomy teams with the expected increase in corn acres this year. Strong system-wide corn and wheat production should provide a good environment for storage and handling in our assets later in the year. We also expect continued demand for our ethanol products, both domestic and export, as we enter the spring maintenance and driving season. We remain pleased with our overall asset and merchandising footprint. With the combination of the former Trade and Nutrient businesses, we are reviewing the portfolio to find synergies and process improvements."

"We continue to pursue growth opportunities. Our longer lead time capital projects in Agribusiness are progressing well and are expected to be completed by mid-2026," continued Krueger. "Our Renewables projects are focused on improving efficiency, co-product yields and lowering the carbon intensity of our high-performing ethanol plants."

Cash, Liquidity, and Long-Term Debt Management

"Our businesses continue to generate strong cash flows, although working capital needs in the first quarter typically require significant funding leading to a use of cash from operations. However, our debt remains at a modest level," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine. "We remain well below our long-term debt to EBITDA target of less than 2.5 times and are pleased with the strength of our balance sheet. For 2025, we anticipate increased spending on growth projects for previously announced long-term opportunities."

The company used cash from operating activities of $350 million and $240 million in the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash from operations before working capital changes in the same periods was $57 million and $48 million, respectively. Cash spent on capital projects in the quarter totaled $47 million, a $20 million increase from 2024.

First Quarter Segment Overview

Agribusiness Challenged in Changing Markets

Agribusiness recorded a pretax loss of $10 million and breakeven adjusted pretax income attributable to the company for the quarter compared to pretax income of $3 million and adjusted pretax income of $5 million in the first quarter of 2024.

Results from our ag supply chain businesses were lower with limited trade flows due to market uncertainty. Assets were significantly impacted as basis levels were challenged in our western locations, including those recently acquired as part of the Skyland Grain LLC investment. The nutrient business showed year-over-year improvement with good fertilizer volume and positioning in advance of an expected increase in corn acres.

---

The portfolio mix of assets, ingredients, and merchandising businesses provides a solid foundation to navigate challenging market conditions. Sizeable corn planting intentions are favorable, allowing for higher nutrient volumes as well as providing opportunities for storage and handling at harvest. In addition, lower corn stocks entering the year should allow for merchandising opportunities and good early harvest margins in the last half of 2025.

Agribusiness’s first quarter adjusted EBITDA was $31 million, compared to $29 million in 2024.

Renewables has Strong Quarter on Efficient Operations and Favorable Ethanol Margins

The Renewables segment reported pretax income of $25 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $15 million in the first quarter. For the same period in 2024, the segment reported pretax income of $24 million and adjusted pretax income attributable to the company of $14 million.

Results from the ethanol production facilities improved year-over-year on efficient operations and higher yields, also benefiting from better year-over-year board crush margins. Plant co-product values were lower, with corn-based feed ingredients competing against an oversupply of alternative protein sources. Ethanol demand is expected to strengthen into the summer with some concerns about cost of inputs. Values of feed ingredient co-products are expected to remain challenged.

Renewables had first quarter EBITDA of $37 million in 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $34 million in 2024.

Income Taxes

The company recorded an income tax benefit for the quarter of $2.1 million, resulting in an effective rate of (66)% for the period. This rate was impacted by a discrete adjustment for a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to prior period tax positions. We anticipate a full-year adjusted effective rate of approximately 18% - 22%.

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.
