REX American Resources Reports Fiscal 2021 Fourth Quarter Net Income Per Share Attributable to REX Common Shareholders of $3.61

REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) (“REX” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2021 fourth quarter (“Q4 ‘21”) ended January 31, 2022. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Conference Call:

212/231-2936

Webcast / Replay URL:

The webcast will be available for replay for 30 days.

REX American Resources’ Q4 ‘21 results principally reflect its interests in six ethanol production facilities and its refined coal operation. 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 ‘21 net sales and revenue were $212.0 million, compared with $126.0 million in Q4 ‘20. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase was primarily due to higher pricing of ethanol, dried distillers grains and modified distillers grains. This was partially offset by an increase in corn and natural gas prices. Primarily reflecting these factors, Q4 ‘21 gross profit for the Company’s continuing operations increased to $38.8 million, compared with $8.3 million in Q4 ‘20. As a result, the Company reported Q4 ‘21 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $36.6 million, compared with income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $4.8 million in the comparable year ago period.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders in Q4 ‘21 was $21.4 million, compared to net income of $3.5 million in Q4 ‘20. Q4 ‘21 basic and diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $3.61, compared to net income per share of $0.59 in Q4 ‘20. Per share results in Q4 ‘21 and Q4 ‘20 are based on 5,939,000 and 6,008,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

REX American Resources’ Chief Executive Officer, Zafar Rizvi, commented, “We are pleased with our strong performance in the fourth quarter and through-out fiscal 2021, including earnings per share of $3.61 and $8.75, respectively. These results reflect the continued success of our strategy, operational efficiency, effectiveness of our plants and operational team. I’m proud of our team and grateful for their efforts.”

“Looking ahead, we remain confident in our strategy and believe that we can leverage our balance sheet to take advantage of opportunities ahead of us and create additional value for our shareholders.”

Balance Sheet

At January 31, 2022, REX had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $255.7 million, $42.9 million of which was at the parent company, and $212.8 million of which was at its consolidated production facilities. This compares with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at January 31, 2021, of $180.7 million, $48.2 million of which was at the parent company, and $132.5 million of which was at its consolidated ethanol production facilities.
