REX American Resources’ Q1 ’13 results principally reflect its alternative energy segment interests in seven ethanol production facilities. The operations of One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen Energy, LLC (“NuGen”) are consolidated, while those of its five other plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates.
Reflecting improved ethanol crush spread margins since the beginning of calendar 2013 as well as higher year-over-year prices for ethanol and dried and modified distillers grains, Q1 ’13 net income attributable to REX shareholders rose 276% to $3.5 million, compared with $0.9 million in Q1 ’12, while Q1 ’13 diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders rose 291% to $0.43, from $0.11 in Q1 ’12.
REX’s Q1 ’13 net sales and revenue rose 18% to $178.7 million, from $151.0 million in Q1 ’12. Q1 ’13 income from continuing operations attributable to REX shareholders net of tax was $3.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared with $0.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in Q1 ’12. REX recorded income from discontinued operations net of tax, including gain on disposal of discontinued operations, of $0.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share for Q1 ’13, compared with $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share in Q1 ’12. Per share results in Q1 ’13 and Q1 ’12 are based on 8,200,000 and 8,439,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. The 2.8% reduction in the diluted shares outstanding principally reflects the Company’s ongoing open market share repurchase program partially offset by shares exercised pursuant to stock option grants.
With the benefit of the improved alternative energy industry environment, REX generated a consolidated gross profit of $9.1 million in Q1’ 13, compared with $5.5 million in Q1’ 12. In Q1 ’13, equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates rose to $1.6 million, compared with $0.4 million in Q1 ’12. REX’s Q1 ’13 income from continuing operations before income taxes and non-controlling interests was $5.9 million, compared with $1.9 million in Q1 ’12.

REX CEO, Stuart Rose, commented, “The combination of an improved industry environment, our interests in state-of-the-art ethanol plants, and our operating discipline at both the plant and corporate level resulted in a strong start to fiscal 2013. Our portfolio of Fagen/ICM ethanol plants across the corn belt are efficiently producing ethanol, distillers grains and corn oil, and have positioned REX as one of the leading companies in the ethanol industry.
“Due to last year’s drought, both published and basis pricing for corn remains above historical levels. We consider our operating structure and financial model to be amongst the best in the industry, based on leading technology across our plants and the attractive valuations at which we acquired them and as reflected by the first quarter results, this model positions us to outperform the industry.”
Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Program
At April
30, 2013, REX had cash and cash equivalents of $73.8 million, $48.4 million of
which was at the parent company and $25.4 million of which was at its
consolidated ethanol production facilities. This compares with cash and cash
equivalents of $69.1 million at January 31, 2013, $47.8 million of which was at
the parent and $21.3 million of which was at its consolidated ethanol
production facilities.
REX repurchased 30,859 shares of its common stock in open market transactions in Q1 ’13 at an average price per share of $18.28. The Company is currently authorized to repurchase up to an additional 370,598 shares of common stock. Taking into account all share repurchases to date, REX has 8,165,338 shares outstanding.
At April 30, 2013, REX had lease agreements, as landlord for six former retail store locations. REX has 10 owned former retail stores that were vacant at April 30, 2013, which it is marketing to either lease or sell. In addition, one former distribution center is partially occupied by the REX corporate office and partially vacant. The real estate segment revenue is primarily comprised of rental income derived from these sites.
