    OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Plains Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRE) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of 2020. Net loss attributable to the company was $49.6 million, or $(1.43) per diluted share. Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter was $18.3 million or $(0.53) per diluted share, exclusive of a noncash loss on the sale of certain assets of $22.9 million and an additional valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of $8.4 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $18.6 million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, for the same period in 2019. Revenues were $478.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with $715.7 million for the same period last year.

    “While this past year was full of challenging events, Greens Plains emerged in a stronger position than when we started, which is a testament to the resilience of our team and our platform as we were able to achieve positive production margins in 2020,” said Todd Becker, president and chief executive officer. “Our transformation plan is well under way, with a goal to achieve significantly higher recurring and predictable earnings streams by 2024 as we engineer and construct Fluid Quip’s MSC™ protein system across our asset base, which we expect to be completed in 2023. With the announcement of our partnership with BlackRock, our plan to transform our product mix, reduce our carbon footprint and ultimately increase shareholder value is now fully funded.”

    “We have continued to realign our asset base in recent months, with the sale of our cattle business and Hereford facility and the announced sale of our Ord location,” added Becker. “This increases our flexibility to rapidly reallocate capital, and to utilize this liquidity to fund our transformation and demonstrate the true value of our platform to the market. At the end of the year, we had strong liquidity with $275 million of cash and have added to that through the BlackRock financing and anticipated closing of the Ord transaction, providing additional capital to execute our transformation plan across the entire platform.”

    “Acquiring Fluid Quip is accelerating our process of creating an ag tech focused company producing strategic ingredients across a number of different verticals, from sustainable Ultra-High Protein and renewable corn oil to specialty alcohols and clean sugars, all of which are poised to reduce our carbon footprint and increase our earnings potential,” commented Becker. “Combining the Fluid Quip intellectual property portfolio with exclusive partnerships such as Novozymes and Hayashikane sets the stage for true transformation and innovation in a number of important markets, all while we are receiving immediate validation and feedback on our innovations through both our York Innovation Center and Shenandoah Aqualab.”

    Green Plains expects to complete the previously announced Clean Sugar Technology™ (CST) production facility at the Green Plains York Innovation Center this quarter. This technology has the ability to produce both food and industrial grade glucose/dextrose. The company is active in over 40 CST dialogues or trials with customers in a wide range of industries including synthetic biology, food production, renewable chemicals and energy, and industrial biotechnology. Green Plains anticipates modifying one or more biorefineries to the CST system to meet anticipated future customer demands.

    “As the world demands innovative, low carbon and sustainable feed, food and industrial solutions to supply a growing population without expanding land use, we stand ready to help meet that need. We recently received validation that the clean sugar produced from the Fluid Quip CST system has significantly lower carbon intensity than the same product produced at traditional wet mills, providing more confidence that this is a game changing technology. We are working to provide the raw materials such as protein, oil and sugar to create new sustainable products ranging from foods to renewable chemicals and are striving to further reduce our biorefinery carbon footprint toward a net zero future,” concluded Becker.

    Results of Operations
    Green Plains sold 214.2 million gallons of ethanol during the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with 239.1 million gallons for the same period in 2019. The adjusted consolidated ethanol crush margin was $11.9 million, or $0.06 per gallon, for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with $4.2 million, or $0.02 per gallon, for the same period in 2019. The consolidated ethanol crush margin is the ethanol production segment’s operating income before depreciation and amortization, which includes corn oil and Ultra-High Protein, plus intercompany storage, transportation, nonrecurring decommissioning costs and other fees, net of related expenses.

    Consolidated revenues decreased $236.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with the same period in 2019, due primarily to lower production volumes of ethanol, distillers grains and corn oil and decreased trading revenues within our agribusiness and energy services segment.

    Operating loss increased $19.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with the same period last year. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increased $1.8 million compared with the same period in 2019. Income tax benefit was $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared with income tax expense of $19.5 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to a larger valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2019.

    Segment Information
    The company reports the financial and operating performance for the following four operating segments: (1) ethanol production, which includes the production of ethanol, including industrial-grade alcohol, distillers grains, ultra-high protein and corn oil, (2) agribusiness and energy services, which includes grain handling and storage, commodity marketing and merchant trading for company-produced and third-party ethanol, distillers grains, corn oil, natural gas and other commodities, (3) food and ingredients, which includes food-grade corn oil and (4) partnership, which includes fuel storage and transportation services. Intercompany fees charged to the ethanol production segment for storage and logistics services, grain procurement and product sales are included in the partnership and agribusiness and energy services segments and eliminated upon consolidation. Third-party costs of grain consumed and revenues from product sales are reported directly in the ethanol production segment.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Management uses adjusted EBITDA, segment EBITDA and consolidated ethanol crush margins to measure the company’s financial performance and to internally manage its businesses. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization excluding the change in right-of-use assets. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments related to operational results of Green Plains Cattle prior to its disposition which are recorded as discontinued operations, and our proportional share of EBITDA adjustments of our equity method investees, gains and losses related to the sale of assets, and noncash goodwill impairment. Management believes these measures provide useful information to investors for comparison with peer and other companies. These measures should not be considered alternatives to net income or segment operating income, which are determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP calculations may vary from company to company. Accordingly, the company’s computation of adjusted EBITDA, segment EBITDA and consolidated ethanol crush margins may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of another company.

    To supplement our condensed consolidated statements of operations presented in accordance with GAAP, the company has provided non-GAAP adjusted financial measures of operating results that exclude certain items. Net income and basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Green Plains are presented as reported on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis related to the impact of gains and losses on the sale of assets, adjustments of deferred tax assets due to valuation allowance and noncash goodwill impairment. Management believes including these additional measures may enhance the investor’s overall understanding of the company’s ongoing operations. These measures should not be considered alternatives to net income, segment operating income or basic and diluted earnings per share, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.
