SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by FutureFuel Corp. (“FutureFuel” or “the Company”) in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10 -K, inclusive of the audited consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the 2025 presentation.
In the opinion of FutureFuel, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10 -Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and do include amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of FutureFuel and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries; namely, FutureFuel Chemical Company; FutureFuel Warehouse Company, L.L.C.; and Legacy Regional Transport, L.L.C. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Some of the Company's manufacturing equipment requires periodic, planned shutdowns of significant parts of our facility in order to perform necessary inspections, cleanings, and maintenance activities, referred to as turnarounds. The cost of turnarounds incurred for routine repairs and maintenance or unplanned outages at our facility are expensed as incurred.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Accounting standards updates (“ASU”) No. 2023 - 09 Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: The FASB issued this ASU in December 2023 which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address the investor requests for more transparency of income tax information and apply to all entities that are subject to income taxes. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company has adopted the new standard effective for the year ended December 31, 2025; however, the required disclosures are effective for our 2025 annual report. The adoption will have an immaterial impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted as of March 31, 2025
ASU No. 2024 - 03 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: The FASB issued this ASU in November 2024 which aims to provide investors with more useful information about an entity’s expenses by improving disclosures on income statement expenses. The amendments in this ASU require all public business entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this accounting standard and currently does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

GOVERNMENT TAX CREDITS
BIODIESEL BLENDERS' TAX CREDIT, SMALL AGRI-BIODIESEL PRODUCER TAX CREDIT, and CLEAN FUEL PRODUCTION TAX CREDIT
The biodiesel Blenders’ Tax Credit (“BTC”) provided a one dollar per gallon tax credit to the blender of biomass-based diesel with at least 0.1% petroleum-based diesel fuel. The Company recorded this credit as a reduction to cost of goods sold as applicable sales were made. The BTC expired December 31, 2024.
Small agri-biodiesel producers with production capacity not in excess of 60 million gallons were eligible for an additional income tax credit of $0.10 per gallon on the first 15 million gallons of agri-biodiesel sold (the “Small Agri-biodiesel Producer Tax Credit”). The Company was eligible for this credit and recognized the credit in the same accounting period as the benefit from the BTC. The benefit of this credit was recognized as a component of income tax (benefit) provision. This credit expired December 31, 2024.
The Inflation Reduction Act created the clean fuel production credit (“CFPC”) in August 2022 for qualifying transportation fuel produced and sold in the years 2025 through 2027.
The CFPC is a nonrefundable and transferable income tax credit structured on a sliding scale so that producers become eligible for larger credits as the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions of the fuels they produce approach zero. For producers meeting the prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship requirements, the maximum credit is $1.00 per gallon of nonaviation fuel. For producers not meeting the prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship requirements, the maximum credit is $0.20 per nonaviation fuel gallon. The Company is a registered producer that meets the wage and apprenticeship requirements to receive the credit applicable to the level of GHG emissions for the fuel the Company produces. However, there is a lack of clarity from the U.S. Treasury Department with respect to the CFPC with final rules yet to be issued. In addition, there has been a delay of the Renewable Fuel Obligation for 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had only sold inventory that was produced in 2024 which was not eligible for the CFPC; therefore, no CFPC credits were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As eligible inventory is produced and sold, the Company will account for the CFPC as a reduction to cost of goods sold when product is sold.
CARES ACT – EMPLOYEE RETENTION TAX CREDIT
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), was enacted on March 27, 2020, to encourage eligible employers to retain employees on their payroll through, among other things, an available employee retention tax credit. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, effective January 1, 2021, broadened the eligibility of the credit. FutureFuel has applied for this credit and will recognize the benefit of the credit once reasonable assurance can be made as to the receipt of the credit.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The majority of revenue is from short-term contracts with revenue recognized when a single performance obligation to transfer product under the terms of a contract with a customer is satisfied.
Certain of the Company's custom chemical contracts within the chemical segment contain a material right as defined by ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, from the provision of a customer option to purchase future goods or services at a discounted price as a result of upfront payments provided by customers. Each contract also has a performance obligation to transfer products with 30 -day payment terms. The Company recognizes revenue when the customer takes control of the inventory, either upon shipment or when the material is made available for pick up. If the customer is deemed to take control of the inventory prior to pick up, the Company recognizes the revenue as a bill-and-hold transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The Company applies the renewal option approach in allocating the transaction price to these material rights and transfer of product. As a basis for allocating the transaction price to the material right and transfer of product, the Company estimates the expected life of the contract, the expected contractual volumes to be sold over that life, and the most likely expected sales price. Each estimate is updated quarterly on a prospective basis.
The Company leases warehouse space under a short-term lease agreement with a term of twelve months. Lease revenue recognized under this agreement was $ 170 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Contract Assets and Liabilities:
Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized through bill-and-hold arrangements. The contract assets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consist of unbilled revenue from one customer and unbilled capital reimbursement from another customer and are recorded as accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance payment arrangements related to material rights recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Increases to contract liabilities from cash received or due for a performance obligation of chemical segment plant expansions were $ 0 for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Contract liabilities are reduced as the Company transfers product to the customer under the renewal option approach. Revenue recognized in the chemical segment from the contract liability reductions was $ 30 and $ 806 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 , respectively. These contract asset and liability balances are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
The following table provides the balance of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations:
At March 31, 2025 , approximately $ 3,959 of revenue is expected to be recognized from the remaining performance obligations. FutureFuel expects to recognize this revenue ratably over the expected sales over the expected term of its long-term contracts ranging from two to six years. Approximately 21 % of this revenue is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months, and 79 % is expected to be recognized over the subsequent 57 months. These amounts are subject to change based upon changes in the estimated contract life and estimated quantities to be sold over the contract life.
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606 - 10 - 50 - 14 and excludes the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less; and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company records all derivative instruments at fair value. Fair value is determined by using the closing prices of the derivative instruments on the New York Mercantile Exchange at the end of an accounting period. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized at the end of each accounting period and recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive income as a component of cost of goods sold. These instruments use inputs considered Level 1 holdings.
Fair value accounting pronouncements include a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of FutureFuel. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect FutureFuel’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In order to manage commodity price risk caused by market fluctuations in biofuel prices, future purchases of feedstock used in biodiesel production, physical feedstock, finished product inventories attributed to the process, and other petroleum products purchased or sold, the Company may enter into exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts. The Company accounts for these derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815 - 20 - 25, Derivatives and Hedging. Under this standard, the accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends upon whether it has been designated as an accounting hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. To qualify for designation as an accounting hedging relationship, specific criteria must be met and appropriate documentation maintained. The Company had no derivative instruments that qualified under these rules as designated accounting hedges in 2025 or 2024 . The Company has elected the normal purchase and normal sales exception for certain feedstock purchase contracts and supply agreements.
Total gains and losses on derivative instruments and changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of goods sold and amounted to a net loss of $ 166 (including settlement gains of $ 93 ) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 , and a net loss of $ 3,464 (includin g settlements of $ 1,190 ) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 .

SEGMENT INFORMATION
FutureFuel has two reportable segments organized along similar product groups – chemicals and biofuels. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM”) is Roeland Polet, the chief executive officer. The CODM reviews the significant components for each of our segments. The CODM evaluates the performance of each reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on segment gross profit (loss), which includes the revenue and expenses that are directly attributable to management of each segment. The CODM uses segment gross profit (loss) to assess the income generated by each reportable segment and to decide which reportable segment to reinvest profits or pay dividends. Segment gross profit (loss) is also used to analyze performance against the budget and the Company’s competitors.
Chemicals
FutureFuel’s chemical segment manufactures diversified chemical products that are sold externally to third party customers. This segment is composed of two components: “custom manufacturing” (manufacturing chemicals for specific customers) and “performance chemicals” (multi-customer specialty chemicals).
Biofuels
FutureFuel’s biofuel segment primarily manufactures and markets biodiesel. Biodiesel revenues are generated through the sale of biodiesel to customers through FutureFuel’s distribution network at its Batesville Plant, through distribution facilities available at leased oil storage facilities, and through a network of remotely located tanks. Biofuel revenues also include the sale of biodiesel blends with petrodiesel; petrodiesel with no biodiesel added; internally generated, separated Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”); biodiesel production byproducts; and revenue and profits from Legacy Regional Transport. Biodiesel selling prices and profitability can at times fluctuate based on the timing of unsold, internally generated RINs. FutureFuel does not allocate production costs to internally generated RINs, and from time to time, can enter into sales of biodiesel on a “RINs-free” basis, resulting in FutureFuel maintaining possession of the applicable RINs from the sale. The benefit derived from the eventual sale of the RINs is not reflected in results of operations until such time as the RINs sale has been completed, which may lead to variability in reported operating results.
As of March 31, 2025 , FutureFuel held 2.3 million RINs with a fair market value of $ 2,077 and no cost. Comparatively, at March 31, 2024 , FutureFuel held 2.0 million RINs with a fair market value of $ 1,624 and no cost and at December 31, 2024 , 3.1 million RINs were held with a fair market value of $ 1,831 and no cost. These fair values are considered Level 1 inputs.

Depreciation is allocated to segment cost of goods sold based on plant usage. The total assets and capital expenditures of FutureFuel have not been allocated to individual segments as large portions of these assets are shared to varying degrees by each segment, causing such an allocation to be of little value.
