REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) (“REX” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2022 second quarter (“Q2 ‘22”) ended July 31, 2022. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET.

REX American Resources’ Q2 ‘22 results principally reflect its interests in six ethanol production facilities. The One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen Energy, LLC (“NuGen”) ethanol production facilities are consolidated, while the four other ethanol plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates. The Company reports results for its ethanol and by-products component as continuing operations and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 its refined coal component as discontinued operations as operations have now ceased.

REX’s Q2 ‘22 net sales and revenue were $240.3 million, compared with $195.7 million in Q2 ‘21. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase was primarily due to higher pricing of ethanol, dried distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and modified distillers grains. These factors were partially offset by increases in corn and natural gas prices. As a result, Q2 ‘22 gross profit for the Company’s continuing operations increased to $16.6 million, compared with $14.2 million in Q2 ‘21. During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company’s two consolidated plants received COVID-19 relief grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture totaling approximately $7.8 million based on reduced production in 2020. Additionally, the Company recognized approximately $1.6 million in income related to its equity share of relief grants received by its unconsolidated affiliates. As a result, the Company reported Q2 ‘22 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $19.2 million, compared with income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $9.8 million in the comparable year ago period.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders from continuing operations in Q2 ‘22 was $11.2 million, compared to net income of $5.7 million in Q2 ‘21. Q2 ‘22 basic and diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $0.63, compared to net income per share of $0.44 in Q2 ‘21. Per share results for Q2 ‘22 and Q2 ‘21 are based on 17,772,000 and 18,034,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, reflecting the Company’s recent 3-for-1 common stock split.

REX American Resources’ Chief Executive Officer, Zafar Rizvi, commented, “I am pleased with the results for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, including a 23% increase in net sales and a 43% increase in net income per share. These results reflect the continued success of our strategy, the effectiveness of our plants and the tireless efforts of our teams to manage through a challenging operating environment, including higher pricing across our two largest input costs and logistic constraints."

“We currently remain confident in our ability to further leverage our resources and strong balance sheet to take advantage of opportunities ahead of us, including our carbon capture initiative, and create additional value for our employees, partners and shareholders.”

Balance Sheet

At July 31, 2022, REX had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $245.1 million, $36.3 million of which was at the parent company, and $208.8 million of which was at its consolidated production facilities. This compares with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at January 31, 2022, of $255.7 million, $42.9 million of which was at the parent company, and $212.8 million of which was at its consolidated ethanol production facilities.

During the fiscal second quarter ended July 31, 2022, and reflecting the 3-for-1 stock split effected August 5, 2022, the Company repurchased 221,883 shares of its common stock at a cost of $6.2 million. On a pre-split basis, the Company repurchased 73,961 shares of its common stock in the fiscal 2022 second quarter. The Company is currently authorized to repurchase up to an additional 1,126,356 shares of common stock and has approximately 17,640,042 shares of common stock outstanding (both figures adjusted for the August 5, 2022 3-for-1 stock split).
