REX American Resources Reports Third Quarter Net Income Per Share Attributable to REX Common Shareholders Of $0.18

Files Class VI Permit Application Related to Carbon Sequestration Project

REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) (“REX” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter (“Q3 ‘22”) ended October 31, 2022. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Conference Call:

212/231-2910

The webcast will be available for replay for 30 days.

REX American Resources’ Q3 ‘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 Q3 ‘22 net sales and revenue were $220.3 million, compared with $203.1 million in Q3 ‘21. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase primarily reflects higher pricing for ethanol, dried distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and modified distillers grains. Q3 ‘22 gross profit for the Company’s continuing operations decreased to $11.3 million, compared with $25.2 million in Q3 ‘21 as the higher net sales and revenue were offset by significant increases in corn and natural gas prices. This led to Q3 ‘22 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $6.1 million, compared with $19.2 million in the comparable year ago period.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders from continuing operations in Q3 ‘22 was $3.2 million, compared to $13.3 million in Q3 ‘21. Q3 ‘22 basic and diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders from continuing operations was $0.18, compared to $0.74 per share in Q3 ‘21. Per share results for Q3 ‘22 and Q3 ‘21 are based on 17,591,000 and 17,890,000 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, “The third quarter marked a difficult operating environment as we faced significant price increases in our two largest inputs – corn and natural gas – as well as ongoing logistical constraints. Despite these challenges, we were able to post our ninth consecutive quarter of positive income along with income per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 of $1.10. We have maintained our robust balance sheet and liquidity position which at quarter end included approximately $290 million in cash and short-term investments and no debt. We remain confident our strong capital structure positions REX to continue to benefit our shareholders and support our ethanol businesses while strategically investing in initiatives that can yield attractive returns for our employees, partners and shareholders.

“In this regard, our team remains very excited about our carbon capture and sequestration project and is making meaningful progress on this front. We filed a Class VI injection well permit application for three wells to allow us to inject carbon dioxide into deep rock formations and recently signed a contract for a carbon compression facility for our One Earth Energy ethanol plant. The language and opportunities in the Inflation Reduction Act are encouraging, including the new clean fuel production credit under section 45Z and an increase in the 45Q credit to $85 per ton. We believe this can bring significant financial benefits to our carbon capture and sequestration initiatives and to the ethanol industry as a whole.”

Balance Sheet

As of October 31, 2022, REX had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $289.8 million, $30.5 million of which was at the parent company, and $259.3 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 third quarter ended October 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 249,570 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $6.8 million. The Company is currently authorized to repurchase up to an additional 876,786 shares of common stock and has approximately 17,390,469 shares of common stock outstanding.
