Andersons NASDAQ: ANDE President and CEO William E. Krueger said the company remains confident in the durability of its ethanol business, citing strong plant operations, export demand, higher RIN values and ethanol's price discount to gasoline.
The Andersons is at an inflection point, transforming from a cyclical ag intermediary to a stable cash-flow generator via renewables and tax credits. Full ownership of ethanol plants and Section 45Z tax credits are expected to deliver $90–100 million in annual cash flow through 2029, stabilizing earnings. Despite revenue declines from commodity prices, Q4 gross profit rose 8% and adjusted EPS beat expectations, underscoring improved operational resilience.
