−Removed: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
−Removed: following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated
−Removed: financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
−Removed: This report and our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated
−Removed: financial statements contain forward-looking statements, which generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations,
−Removed: including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance and our current beliefs regarding revenues we might generate
−Removed: and profits we might earn if we are successful in implementing our business and growth strategies.
−Removed: The forward-looking statements and
−Removed: associated risks may include, relate to or be qualified by other important factors, including:
−Removed: ● fluctuations
−Removed: in the market prices of alcohols and essential ingredients;
−Removed: ● fluctuations
−Removed: in the costs of key production input commodities such as corn and natural gas;
−Removed: projected growth or contraction in the alcohol and essential ingredients markets in which
−Removed: strategies for expanding, maintaining or contracting our presence in these markets;
−Removed: ● anticipated
−Removed: trends in our financial condition and results of operations;
−Removed: ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors.
−Removed: are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report, or in the
−Removed: case of a document incorporated by reference, as of the date of that document.
−Removed: We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any forward-looking
−Removed: statements, except as required by law.
−Removed: of the factors described immediately above, or referenced from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
−Removed: or in the “Risk Factors”
−Removed: section below could cause our financial results, including our net income or loss or growth in net
−Removed: income or loss to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could, among other things, cause the price of our common stock
−Removed: to fluctuate substantially.
−Removed: On April 23, 2021, we entered into an asset purchase
−Removed: agreement with Seaboard Energy California, LLC, for the purchase and sale of our Madera, California production facility for total consideration
−Removed: of $28.3 million, comprised of $19.5 million in cash and $8.8 million in assumption of liabilities.
−Removed: We closed the transaction on May 14,
−Removed: 2021, and with the net proceeds, repaid $19.3 million in principal on our senior notes.
−Removed: are a leading producer and marketer of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients, and the largest producer of specialty alcohols in
−Removed: the United States based on annualized volumes.
−Removed: We operate six alcohol production facilities.
−Removed: of our production facilities are located in the Midwestern state of Illinois and three of our facilities are located in the Western states
−Removed: of California, Oregon and Idaho.
−Removed: Our facility in California is held-for-sale as we are in the process of marketing the Stockton facility
−Removed: We have an annual alcohol production capacity of 410 million gallons.
−Removed: We market all of the alcohols produced at our facilities
−Removed: as well as fuel-grade ethanol produced by third parties.
−Removed: In 2020, we marketed over 500 million gallons combined of our own alcohols as
−Removed: well as fuel-grade ethanol produced by third parties, and nearly 1.5 million tons of essential ingredients on a dry matter basis.
−Removed: business consists of three reportable segments:
−Removed: two production segments and a marketing segment.
−Removed: We report our financial and operating performance
−Removed: in three segments:
−Removed: (1) marketing and distribution, which includes marketing and merchant trading for Company-produced alcohols and essential
−Removed: ingredients on an aggregated basis, and third party fuel-grade ethanol (2) Pekin production, which includes the production and sale of
−Removed: alcohols and essential ingredients produced at our Pekin, Illinois campus, and (3) Other production, which includes the production and
−Removed: sale of fuel-grade ethanol and essential ingredients produced at all of our other production facilities on an aggregate basis, none of
−Removed: which are individually so significant as to be considered a reportable segment.
−Removed: mission is to expand our business as a leading producer and marketer of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients.
−Removed: We intend to accomplish
−Removed: this goal in part by investing in our specialized and higher value specialty alcohol production and distribution infrastructure, expanding
−Removed: production in high-demand essential ingredients, expanding and extending the sale of our products into new regional and international
−Removed: markets, building efficiencies and economies of scale and by capturing a greater portion of the value stream.
−Removed: produce specialty alcohols, fuel-grade ethanol and essential ingredients, focusing on four key markets:
−Removed: Health, Home & Beauty ;
−Removed: Food & Beverage ;
−Removed: Essential Ingredients ;
−Removed: and Renewable Fuels .
−Removed: Products for the Health, Home & Beauty market
−Removed: include specialty alcohols used in mouthwash, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, hand sanitizers, disinfectants and cleaners.
−Removed: Products for the
−Removed: Food & Beverage markets include grain neutral spirits used in alcoholic beverages and vinegar as well as corn germ used for corn
−Removed: Products for Essential Ingredients markets include yeast, corn gluten and distillers grains used in commercial animal feed and
−Removed: Our Renewable Fuels products include fuel-grade ethanol and distillers corn oil used as a feedstock for renewable diesel fuel.
−Removed: produce our alcohols and essential ingredients at our production facilities described below.
−Removed: Our production facilities located in the
−Removed: Midwest are in the heart of the Corn Belt, benefit from low-cost and abundant feedstock and enjoy logistical advantages that enable us
−Removed: to provide our products to both domestic and international markets via truck, rail or barge.
−Removed: Our production facilities located on the
−Removed: West Coast are near their respective fuel and feed customers, offering significant timing, transportation cost and logistical advantages.
−Removed: We are currently operating at approximately 64%
−Removed: of our estimated maximum annual production capacity.
−Removed: Our Magic Valley and Stockton facilities are currently idled.
−Removed: As market conditions
−Removed: change, we may increase, decrease or idle production at one or more operating facilities or resume operations at any idled facility.
−Removed: Annual Production Capacity
−Removed: (estimated, in gallons)
−Removed: Production Facility
−Removed: Fuel-Grade Ethanol
−Removed: Specialty Alcohol
−Removed: market all of the alcohols and essential ingredients we produce at our facilities.
−Removed: We also market fuel-grade ethanol produced by third
−Removed: have extensive and long-standing customer relationships, both domestic and international, for our specialty alcohols and essential ingredients.
−Removed: These customers include producers and distributors of ingredients for cosmetics, sanitizers and related products, distilled spirits producers,
−Removed: food products manufacturers, producers of personal health/consumer health and personal care hygiene products, and global trading firms.
−Removed: fuel-grade ethanol customers are located throughout the Western and Midwestern United States and consist of integrated oil companies
−Removed: and gasoline marketers who blend fuel-grade ethanol into gasoline.
−Removed: Our customers depend on us to provide a reliable supply of fuel-grade
−Removed: ethanol and manage the logistics and timing of delivery with very little effort on their part.
−Removed: Our customers collectively require fuel-grade
−Removed: ethanol volumes in excess of the supplies we produce at our facilities.
−Removed: We secure additional fuel-grade ethanol supplies from third-party
−Removed: fuel-grade ethanol plants in California and other third-party suppliers in the Midwest where a majority of fuel-grade ethanol producers
−Removed: We arrange for transportation, storage and delivery of fuel-grade ethanol purchased by our customers through our agreements
−Removed: with third-party service providers in the Western United States as well as in the Midwest from a variety of sources.
−Removed: market our essential ingredient feed products to dairies and feedlots, in many cases located near our production facilities.
−Removed: These customers
−Removed: use our feed products for livestock as a substitute for corn and other sources of starch and protein.
−Removed: We sell our corn oil to poultry
−Removed: and biodiesel customers.
−Removed: We do not market essential ingredients from other producers.
−Removed: See “Note 3 –
−Removed: Segments”
−Removed: Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report for financial information about our business segments.
−Removed: Initiatives and Outlook
−Removed: We had a solid first quarter, selling 19 million
−Removed: gallons of specialty alcohols through a combination of contracted volumes, spot sales and exports.
−Removed: The first quarter also represented
−Removed: our fourth consecutive quarter of gross profit, reflecting the benefits of our new business focus on specialty alcohols and essential
−Removed: Our new business focus is more sustainable and profitable than our prior focus on fuel-grade ethanol.
−Removed: We are now the largest producer of specialty alcohols
−Removed: in the United States based on annualized volumes.
−Removed: We have 410 million gallons of annual production capacity, of which approximately 140
−Removed: million gallons, or 34%, is specialty alcohols and the balance is fuel-grade ethanol.
−Removed: We are currently operating production facilities
−Removed: with 290 million gallons of annual capacity, of which nearly 50% is specialty alcohols.
−Removed: All of our operating facilities are running at
−Removed: break-even or better on an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization basis.
−Removed: We remain on track for sales of our specialty alcohols
−Removed: to contribute a minimum of $60 million in gross profit for the full year based on 70 million gallons of specialty alcohols contracted
−Removed: in the fall of 2020 at fixed volumes and prices.
−Removed: Many variables could materially impact our results, including export conditions, the
−Removed: ability of our customers to take all of their contracted volumes for 2021, market demand for sanitizers and disinfectants, our ability
−Removed: to timely sell our Stockton, California production facility, and fuel-grade ethanol crush margins.
−Removed: We are optimistic that we can add additional
−Removed: contracted specialty alcohol volumes in 2022 and future years, improving utilization over time from our expanded specialty alcohol production
−Removed: capacity and our ISO 9001, ICH Q7 and EXCiPACT certifications.
−Removed: As noted above, we have completed the sale of our
−Removed: idled fuel-grade ethanol production facility in Madera, California for total consideration of $28.3 million.
−Removed: We expect to save approximately
−Removed: $0.7 million per quarter in interest expense and approximately $0.4 million per quarter in carrying costs associated with the idled facility.
−Removed: We have capital improvement projects totaling $18.0
−Removed: million in process or scheduled for 2021.
−Removed: We expect these projects to expand revenue and increase efficiencies and plant reliability.
−Removed: For example, we are increasing our yeast facility’s annual production capacity by approximately 15%.
−Removed: We will also have the ability
−Removed: to further expand production of even higher value yeast derivatives with similar payback profiles.
−Removed: In addition, we are upgrading our feed
−Removed: dryers at our Pekin Campus that will produce even higher value feed and improve overall plant efficiency and reliability.
−Removed: These two projects
−Removed: are scheduled for completion by the third quarter with an expected payback in less than two years, or approximately $5.0 million in additional
−Removed: annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
−Removed: Our Pekin Campus sits on the Mt.
−Removed: Simon sandstone
−Removed: formation, considered one of the most significant potential carbon storage resources in the United States.
−Removed: As a member of the Carbon Capture
−Removed: Coalition, we are actively engaged in discussions to develop a carbon capture and sequestration program at our Pekin site, which generates
−Removed: over 600,000 tons of CO 2 annually, and expect to be an active player in the carbon capture space.
−Removed: Finally, among many other projects under development
−Removed: is our plan to expand protein production at our dry-mill production facilities, which collectively represent 250 million gallons of annual
−Removed: production capacity.
−Removed: We believe the economics of expanded protein production are compelling and would expect to achieve protein concentrations
−Removed: in excess of 50% and an improvement in corn oil production by 50%.
−Removed: Over the past twelve months, we have improved operations
−Removed: and our production footprint, and reduced controllable expenses and our overall cost of capital, to build a strong foundation for the
−Removed: future which will enable us to aggressively pursue organic opportunities to reinvest in quality, proven high-value projects, as well as
−Removed: pursue accretive strategic acquisitions.
−Removed: Accounting Policies
−Removed: preparation of our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
−Removed: United States of America, requires us to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon the portrayal of our financial
−Removed: condition and results of operations.
−Removed: We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following require estimates and assumptions
−Removed: that require complex, subjective judgments by management that can materially impact the portrayal of our financial condition and results
−Removed: of operations:
−Removed: revenue recognition;
−Removed: impairment of long-lived assets and held-for-sale classification;
−Removed: valuation of allowance for deferred
−Removed: taxes and derivative instruments.
−Removed: These significant accounting principles are more fully described in “Management’s Discussion
−Removed: and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies”
−Removed: in our Annual Report on Form
−Removed: 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
