Rhea-AI Filing Summary
The Andersons, Inc. reported record first quarter 2026 results, with net income attributable to the company of $33.2 million and diluted EPS of $0.97, up sharply from $0.01 a year earlier. Adjusted net income was $38.2 million, or $1.12 per diluted share.
Adjusted EBITDA rose to $91.5 million from $57.3 million, driven by strong performance in Renewables and a turnaround in Agribusiness. Renewables delivered pretax income of $39.6 million, supported by record production and $26 million of 45Z producer tax credits. Agribusiness posted pretax income of $7.4 million and adjusted pretax income of $17.9 million, versus a pretax loss in 2025.
Operating cash flow was negative $393.7 million, reflecting large working capital swings common in merchandising businesses, while cash from operations before working capital changes was $68.1 million. Short-term debt increased to $716.5 million, but management highlighted that long-term debt to EBITDA remains below its target of 2.5 times.
Positive
- Record profitability: Net income attributable to The Andersons rose to $33.2 million with diluted EPS of $0.97, and adjusted EPS reached $1.12, reflecting a strong turnaround from near break-even in the prior-year quarter.
- Stronger operating performance: Adjusted EBITDA increased to $91.5 million from $57.3 million, with Renewables pretax income of $39.6 million and Agribusiness adjusted pretax income of $17.9 million, showing broad-based improvement.
- Tax-credit and policy tailwinds: Renewables benefited from $26 million of 45Z producer tax credits and favorable RVO-driven dynamics, supporting margins alongside record production.
Negative
- Heavy working capital and higher leverage: Operating activities used $393.7 million of cash in Q1 2026, and short-term debt increased to $716.5 million from $249.4 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting sizable seasonal and merchandising-related funding needs.
Insights
Record Q1 profit, strong Renewables, better Agribusiness, but working capital-heavy cash use.
The Andersons delivered a sharp earnings inflection in Q1 2026. Net income attributable to the company rose to $33.2 million from $0.3 million, and diluted EPS reached $0.97 versus $0.01. Adjusted EPS was $1.12, supported by adjusted EBITDA of $91.5 million compared with $57.3 million a year earlier.
Segment data show Renewables as the main profit engine, with pretax income of $39.6 million aided by record ethanol production and $26 million of 45Z producer tax credits. Agribusiness improved from a prior-year pretax loss to pretax income of $7.4 million and adjusted pretax income of $17.9 million, helped by merchandising volatility and better fertilizer margins.
Cash-wise, the company used $393.7 million in operating activities, largely from swings in receivables, inventories, derivatives, and payables, while generating $68.1 million of cash from operations before working capital changes. Short-term debt increased to $716.5 million, and total debt rose, though management notes long-term debt to EBITDA remains below its 2.5% target, indicating balance sheet capacity to fund planned growth projects through at least 2026.

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $91 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"This release contains non-GAAP financial measures."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
45Z producer tax credits financial
"First quarter results include $26 million of 45Z producer tax credits."
Required Volume Obligations (RVO) financial
"values and volumes improved following the finalization of the Required Volume Obligations (RVO)."
Required volume obligations (RVOs) are regulatory mandates that require certain companies—typically fuel producers, importers, or refiners—to ensure a specified amount of renewable or low-carbon fuel is supplied or credited into the market. For investors, RVOs matter because they create predictable demand for renewable fuels, influence commodity costs and compliance expenses, and introduce regulatory risk and potential revenue opportunities; think of them as a legally enforced quota that shifts where money and supply flow in an industry.
cash from operations before working capital changes financial
"Cash from operations before working capital changes in the same periods was $68 million and $57 million, respectively."
effective tax rate financial
"resulting in an effective tax rate of 14% for the period."
The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.

NEWS RELEASEThe Andersons, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results
MAUMEE, OHIO, May 5, 2026 - The Andersons, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANDE) announces financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Financial Highlights:
•Reported record first quarter net income attributable to The Andersons of $33 million or $0.97 per diluted share and adjusted net income attributable of $38 million, or $1.12 per diluted share
•Adjusted EBITDA of $91 million
•Renewables first quarter pretax income was $40 million on record production, strong merchandising, and biofuels policy benefits
•Agribusiness recorded pretax income of $7 million and adjusted pretax income attributable to The Andersons of $18 million on resilient merchandising and improving conditions
"Our record first quarter includes outstanding results in Renewables and year-over-year improvement in Agribusiness. Ethanol margins were solid during the quarter on increased demand and higher gasoline prices. Our renewable feedstock business had a strong quarter as values and volumes improved following the finalization of the Required Volume Obligations (RVO). Our plants set another quarterly record for production, and we were able to qualify for a higher tier of 45Z tax credits. Fundamentals for this business remain positive,” said President and CEO Bill Krueger. "In Agribusiness, with the return of some market volatility, our merchandising businesses had a solid quarter. Results from our premium ingredients business more than doubled the prior year, as we are focused on serving our key CPG customers. Our fertilizer business also improved, as we strategically positioned product in anticipation of spring planting.”
"We continue to evaluate capital deployment to drive growth and expansion of our existing assets, make our operations more efficient, while analyzing potential acquisitions. We are on track to complete several capital investments during 2026, including the addition of soybean meal export capacity at Port Houston, the replacement and modernization of grain storage at our Toledo port assets, and several corn and wheat cleaning projects within our current asset footprint. Our Clymers, Indiana ethanol debottlenecking project, announced in December of last year, is in the early stages and progressing as planned. We expect the project to increase the plant's annual production capacity to approximately 170 million gallons upon completion. We are evaluating additional ethanol, premium ingredients, and other projects to drive further profitable growth as we remain focused on achieving the $7.00 run-rate EPS target exiting 2028, as announced in December at our Investor Day," continued Krueger.

Cash, Liquidity, and Long-Term Debt Management
"Our businesses generated improved cash flows on strong earnings this quarter. We expect to continue to fund many of our growth projects internally and our debt remains at a modest level," said Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Valentine. "We remain below our long-term debt to EBITDA target of less than 2.5 times and continue to be pleased with the strength of our balance sheet."
Cash used in operating activities was $394 million and $350 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Cash from operations before working capital changes in the same periods was $68 million and $57 million, respectively. Cash spent on capital projects in the quarter totaled $52 million, as we continue to invest in our facilities and fund growth.
First Quarter Segment Overview
Agribusiness Posts Improved First Quarter on Earnings Resilience
Agribusiness recorded pretax income of $7 million and adjusted pretax income attributable to the company of $18 million for the quarter, compared to a pretax loss of $10 million and break even adjusted pretax income in the first quarter of 2025.
Our diversified portfolio showed the resilience of our earnings as we saw more volatility return to the market this quarter. As prices rallied during the quarter, more old crop bushels came to market, which provided opportunities for our merchandising businesses. Our grain asset footprint saw less basis appreciation than expected as the price rally put pressure on basis values. Fertilizer results improved on higher margins.
Market conditions remain dynamic. There is the potential of continued volatility that will provide opportunities through 2026. We will remain nimble as conditions change. If the volatility continues, more opportunities should shift to our merchandising businesses. We expect our asset footprint, especially in the west, to capture some of the delayed basis appreciation over the next few quarters. Anticipated corn plantings are above the five-year average with expanded margin opportunities in this higher priced environment. Our fertilizer business is well positioned heading into Q2 and the application season for planting.
Agribusiness had adjusted first quarter EBITDA of $49 million, compared to $31 million in 2025.
Renewables Reports Record Quarter on Efficient Operations and Strong Demand
The Renewables segment reported pretax income of $40 million in the first quarter. For the same period in 2025, the segment reported pretax income of $25 million and pretax income attributable to the company of $15 million.
The segment had a strong first quarter performance on efficient plant operations and record production. Ethanol demand drove board crush higher year over year but was offset by firmer corn basis and higher natural gas expense. First quarter results include $26 million of 45Z producer tax credits. As expected, each of our plants qualified for the next tier of credits following rule changes effective in 2026. Our merchandising businesses had improved performance, largely driven by volatility surrounding the RVO announcement, resulting in higher distillers corn oil and RIN values.
Ethanol fundamentals continue to be supportive as we anticipate elevated demand, including increasing global blend rates, high gasoline prices, and planned industry maintenance. Renewable feedstocks should also continue to benefit from the robust RVO.
Renewables had first quarter EBITDA of $54 million in 2026, compared to $37 million in 2025.
Income Taxes
The company recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million for the quarter, resulting in an effective tax rate of 14% for the period. The rate was impacted by non-taxable 45Z income. We anticipate a full-year adjusted effective rate of approximately 14% - 18%.
