Alto Ingredients reports Q1 2026 results showing a return to profitability. Net sales were $224.7 million, roughly flat year over year, but gross profit improved to $9.2 million from a loss, driven by better crush margins and derivative gains.
The company generated net income of $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, versus a prior-year loss. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.7 million. Alto also recorded $3.9 million in Section 45Z transferable clean fuel production tax credits and expects about $15 million of net Section 45Z proceeds for 2026.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $21.6 million with working capital of $116.9 million, supported by an asset-based revolver and an Orion term loan. The Magic Valley plant remains cold-idled to avoid losses, while the company invests in debottlenecking, CO2 capacity and dock projects to grow higher-value specialty alcohols and CO2 sales.
Alto Ingredients, Inc. reported a strong turnaround for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net sales were $224.7 million, while gross profit reached $9.2 million, an $11.0 million improvement from the prior year’s loss. Net income was $4.0 million, or $0.05 per share, improving by $16.0 million versus Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $4.7 million, up $9.1 million year over year, helped by stronger export sales, higher crush margins and contributions from Section 45Z tax credits.

Alto Ingredients, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its June 23, 2026 annual meeting on four items: electing five directors, an advisory approval of executive pay, approval of a new 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan, and ratification of RSM US LLP as auditor.
The proxy highlights 2025 performance improvements, with net income of $12 million, up $72 million from 2024, and adjusted EBITDA of $45 million, up $53 million. Management attributes this to cost reductions, exiting underperforming activities, diversification into export renewable fuels, and acquiring a beverage-grade liquid CO₂ facility in Oregon.
Alto also recorded $7.5 million of Section 45Z clean fuel production tax credit earnings in 2025 and plans approximately $25 million of capital projects, subject to Board approval. The proposed 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan would authorize up to 7,000,000 shares for future equity awards, replacing the expired 2016 plan.
