REX American Resources Reports Fiscal 2022 Fourth Quarter Net Income Per Share Attributable to Rex Common Shareholders Of $0.47

REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) (“REX” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2022 fourth quarter (“Q4 ‘22”) ended January 31, 2023. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Conference Call:

212/231-2904

The webcast will be available for replay for 30 days.

REX American Resources’ Q4 ‘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 Q4 ‘22 net sales and revenue were $200.2 million, compared with $212.0 million in Q4 ‘21. The year-over-year net sales and revenue decrease primarily reflects a decrease in the quantities sold of ethanol, dried distillers grains and modified distillers grains. Q4 ‘22 gross profit for the Company’s continuing operations was $14.9 million, compared with $38.8 million in Q4 ‘21 reflecting increases in corn and natural gas prices. This led to Q4 ‘22 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $13.3 million, compared with $36.6 million in the comparable year ago period.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders from continuing operations in Q4 ‘22 was $8.2 million, compared to $21.3 million in Q4 ‘21. Q4 ‘22 basic and diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders from continuing operations was $0.47, compared to $1.19 per share in Q4 ‘21. Per share results for Q4 ‘22 and Q4 ‘21 are based on 17,416,000 and 17,818,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, reflecting the Company’s 3-for-1 common stock split effected August 5, 2022.

REX American Resources’ Chief Executive Officer, Zafar Rizvi, commented, “In the fourth quarter, we saw a continuation of the difficult operating environment we faced throughout much of fiscal 2022, including year-over-year price increases in corn and natural gas of 22% and 12%, respectively, as well as weather-related disruptions. Given these challenges, we are pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter and full year, with earnings per share of $0.47 and $1.57, respectively. Our results demonstrate the resiliency of our operating model, our operational efficiency, and the effectiveness of our plant operations teams.

“We exited fiscal 2022 with a robust liquidity position, with approximately $281 million in cash and short-term investments and no debt. Thanks to our healthy financial foundation, we are well positioned to continue to strategically invest in the efficiency and capacity of our plants while pursuing and progressing against our carbon capture and sequestration initiatives.

“Looking ahead, we are excited by the many opportunities in front of us and remain confident in the value proposition that ethanol brings to consumers and the environment. We are also encouraged by the potentially compelling financial benefits of our carbon capture and sequestration initiatives on the back of the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act and believe our efforts will yield significant financial benefits for our employees, partners and shareholders.”

Balance Sheet

As of January 31, 2023, REX had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $280.9 million, $42.1 million of which was at the parent company, and $238.8 million of which was at its consolidated production facilities.
