DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- REX American Resources Corporation (“REX” or the “Company”) (NYSE: REX), a leading ethanol production company, today announced financial and operational results for the Company’s fiscal second quarter 2025. The Company also announced a 2-for-1 stock split for shareholders of record as of September 8, 2025.

REX American Resources’ fiscal second quarter 2025 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 affiliates.

Second Quarter 2025 Results

REX reported Q2 ’25 net sales and revenue of $158.6 million, compared to Q2 ’24 net sales and revenue of $148.2 million. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase primarily reflects higher volumes, in spite of lower ethanol and dried distiller grain pricing in comparison to the same period in 2024. Second quarter 2025 gross profit for the Company was $14.3 million, compared with $19.8 million in Q2 ’24. The Company reported interest and other income of $3.1 million in Q2 ’25, compared to $4.4 million in Q2 ’24. This led to Q2 ’25 income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests of $12.1 million, compared with $19.5 million in Q2 ’24.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders in Q2 ’25 was $7.1 million, compared to $12.4 million in Q2 ’24. Second quarter ’25 diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $0.43, compared to $0.70 per share in Q2 ’24. Per share results for Q2 ’25 and Q2 ’24 are based on 16,505,000 and 17,671,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

Update on One Earth Energy Ethanol Production Expansion and Carbon Capture Projects

REX has made progress on the expansion of ethanol production at the One Earth facility. The previously mentioned energy efficiency initiative has been completed. Project completion is still anticipated in 2026.

As previously discussed, REX substantially completed construction of the capture and compression portions of its One Earth carbon capture and sequestration project at the Company’s Gibson City, Illinois location during Fiscal Year 2024. Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Class VI injection well permitting process is ongoing. Final permitting decision for the sequestration portion of the project is expected to be completed in March 2026, moved forward from the previously expected timeline of April 2026, according to the published EPA timeline.

Capital expenditures at the end of the second quarter related to the One Earth carbon capture and sequestration project and related expansion of ethanol production capacity at the Gibson City location totaled $126.7 million. The Company’s combined budget for completion of the projects is $220-$230 million.

Stock Split

Today, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a 2-for-1 split of its Common Stock to be effected as a 100 percent (100%) Common Stock dividend.

The dividend is payable September 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 8, 2025. Shareholders will receive one additional share of Common Stock for every share held on the record date. As a result of the stock split, REX American Resources’ outstanding shares of Common Stock will increase from 16,528,787 at present, to 33,057,574 shares.

Taking into effect the planned stock split, effective at the close of business on September 8, 2025, the number of shares of Common Stock previously authorized by the Board of Directors for repurchase will be increased by 100 percent (100%) to 2,357,186 shares.

Balance Sheet

As of July 31, 2025, REX had $310.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments available and no bank debt.

Management Commentary

“The second quarter continued REX’s excellent track record in delivering value to shareholders, and marked our 20th consecutive quarter of positive earnings,” said Zafar Rizvi, Chief Executive Officer of REX. “Our ethanol expansion project remains on schedule for completion in 2026, further positioning us to deliver sustained long-term shareholder value. As we look forward to the remainder of the year, we are confident in the market forces supporting our core ethanol business and remain committed to our focus on maintaining and expanding our value proposition for investors. We are pleased with the extension of the provisions for 45Z and 45Q tax credits in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and the potential positive impact on our business moving forward.

“Today’s announcement of our stock split reflects the confidence we have in the go-forward position of REX’s business,” continued Mr. Rizvi. “The expansion of our ethanol production capacity and potential benefit from 45Z and 45Q tax credits puts the Company in an excellent position to continue creating value for shareholders over the near and long-term.”
