Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
- Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024, has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company realigned its organizational structure to reflect updates in management reporting resulting in a change in reportable segments. As a result, the former Trade segment was combined with the former Nutrient & Industrial segment in the newly formed Agribusiness segment along with several smaller business lines being moved between the Agribusiness and Renewables segments. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2024, was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in The Andersons, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).
Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary and are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40), which requires the disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, within relevant income statement captions. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses along with the definition of selling expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can either be applied prospectively to consolidated financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in the consolidated financial statements, once adopted. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU.
- Inventories
Major classes of inventories are presented below. Readily Marketable Inventories ("RMI") are agricultural commodity inventories such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and ethanol co-products, among others, carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value based on their commodity characteristics, widely available market information, and pricing mechanisms. The net realizable value of RMI is calculated as the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. All other inventories are held at lower of cost or net realizable value.
| (in thousands) | March 31,2025 | December 31,2024 | March 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grain and other agricultural products (a) | $833,477 | $951,283 | $669,373 |
| Energy inventories (a) | 12,680 | 17,381 | 14,454 |
| Ethanol and co-products (a) | 133,352 | 109,528 | 104,878 |
| Nutrients and cob products | 269,538 | 208,619 | 205,838 |
| Total inventories | $1,249,047 | $1,286,811 | $994,543 |
(a) Includes RMI of $828.4 million, $944.5 million, and $635.5 million at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.
- Derivatives
The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Company has established “unhedged” futures position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract). To reduce the exposure to market price risk on commodities owned and forward purchase and sale contracts, the Company enters into exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts and over-the-counter forward and option contracts with various counterparties. These contracts are primarily traded via regulated commodity exchanges. The Company’s forward purchase and sales contracts are for physical delivery of the commodity in a future period. Contracts to purchase commodities from producers generally relate to the current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Most contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyondone year.
Most of these contracts meet the definition of derivatives. While the Company considers its commodity contracts to be effective economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards. The Company primarily accounts for its commodity derivatives at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the commodity derivative contracts that require the receipt or posting of cash collateral is recorded on a net basis (offset against cash collateral posted or received, also known as margin deposits) within commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Management determines fair value based on exchange-quoted prices and in the case of its forward purchase and sale contracts, estimated fair value is adjusted for differences in local markets and non-performance risk. For contracts for which physical delivery occurs, balance sheet classification is based on estimated delivery date. For futures, options and over-the-counter contracts in which physical delivery is not expected to occur but, rather, the contract is expected to be net settled, the Company classifies these contracts as current or noncurrent assets or liabilities, as appropriate, based on the Company’s expectations as to when such contracts will be settled.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of commodity contracts (whether due to changes in commodity prices, changes in performance or credit risk, or due to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the commodity contract) and commodity inventories are included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues.
Generally accepted accounting principles permit a party to a master netting arrangement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments against the right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral under the same master netting arrangement. The Company has master netting arrangements for its exchange traded futures and options contracts and certain over-the-counter contracts. When the Company enters into a future, option or an over-the-counter contract, an initial margin deposit may be required by the counterparty. The amount of the margin deposit varies by commodity. If the market price of a future, option or an over-the-counter contract moves in a direction that is adverse to the Company’s position, an additional margin deposit, called a maintenance margin, is required. The margin deposit assets and liabilities are included in short-term commodity derivative assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents a summary of the estimated fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments that require cash collateral and the associated cash posted/received as collateral. The net asset or liability positions of these derivatives (net of their cash collateral) are determined on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and are included within Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Commodity derivative assets (liabilities) - current or if long-term in nature, Other assets, net or Other long-term liabilities:

Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company’s objectives for using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt or payment of variable amounts with a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The gains or losses on the derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded in Other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into Interest expense, net in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense, net as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. In the case where interest rate derivatives are settled prior to maturity, the gain or loss is recorded in Other income, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the interest rate derivatives:

- Revenue
A majority of the Company’s Sales and merchandising revenues are generated from contracts that are outside the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically,85% of the Company's sales contracts are derivatives within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, with the remaining 15% accounted for under ASC 606. Of the Sales and merchandising revenues within the scope of ASC 606, substantially all of the activity occurs at a point in time with the vast majority residing in the Agribusiness segment. Therefore, a further disaggregation of ASC 606 Sales and merchandising revenues and detail of outstanding contract balances within the Agribusiness segment have been provided below:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Specialty and primary nutrients | $163,806 | $137,036 |
| Premium ingredients | 69,837 | 100,748 |
| Propane and fuels | 91,574 | 69,796 |
| Other | 45,596 | 33,851 |
| Total | $370,813 | $341,431 |
Specialty and Primary Nutrients
The Company sells several different types of specialty nutrient products, including: low-salt liquid starter fertilizers, micro-nutrients and other specialty lawn products. These products can be sold through the wholesale distribution channels as well as directly to end users at the farm center locations. Similarly, the Company sells several different types of primary nutrient products, including: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These products may be purchased and re-sold as is or sold as finished goods resulting from a blending and manufacturing process. The contracts associated with specialty and primary nutrients generally have a single performance obligation, as the Company has elected the accounting policy to consider shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs. Revenue is recognized when control of the product has passed to the customer. Payment terms generally range from 0 - 30 days.
Premium Ingredients
The Company's premium ingredient products are mainly comprised of pulses, organics and pet food ingredients. Contracts for premium ingredients generally have a single performance obligation, as the Company has elected the accounting policy to consider shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs. Revenue is recognized when control of the product has passed to the customer which follows shipping terms on the contract. Payment terms for premium ingredients generally range from 30 - 120 days.
Propane and Fuels
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control to customers when products are shipped for direct sales to customers or when the product is picked up by a customer. Contracts contain one performance obligation which is the delivery to the customer at a point in time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration received in exchange for transferring products. The Company recognizes the cost for shipping as an expense in Cost of sales and merchandising revenues when control over the product has transferred to the customer. Payment terms generally range from 0 - 30 days.
Contract Balances
The balances of the Company's contract liabilities were $92.2 million and $24.8 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities is primarily a result of timing differences between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The main driver of the contract liabilities balance are payments for primary and specialty nutrients within the Agribusiness segment received in advance of fulfilling the performance obligations of customer contracts. Due to the seasonality of this business, contract liabilities are built up through the first quarter in preparation for the spring application season. Revenue is then recognized in the throughout the spring application season as the Company fulfills its contract obligations and the reason that contract liabilities are much higher at March 31, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024.
- Income Taxes
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Income before income taxes | $3,213 | $13,968 |
| Income tax (benefit) provision | (2,118) | 1,303 |
| Effective tax rate | (65.9)% | 9.3% |
The difference between the (65.9)% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, is primarily attributable to a discrete adjustment of unrecognized tax benefits related to prior period U.S. federal research and development tax credits.
The difference between the 9.3% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to the tax impact of noncontrolling interest, stock-based compensation, and federal tax credits offset by state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation and other discrete tax adjustments.

When interest rate derivatives are settled prior to maturity the gain or loss is recognized in Other income, net. See Note 3 for additional information.
(b)This accumulated other comprehensive loss component is included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost recorded in Operating, administrative and general expenses.
(c)The Company utilizes the aggregate approach for releasing disproportionate income tax effects in AOCI.

(d)Included in other assets and liabilities are assets held by the Company to fund deferred compensation plans and foreign exchange derivative contracts (Level 1), as well as interest rate derivatives (Level 2).
Level 1 commodity derivatives reflect the fair value of the exchanged-traded futures and options contracts that the Company holds, net of the cash collateral, that the Company has in its margin account.
The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach valuation technique. With the market approach, fair value is derived using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The Company’s net commodity derivatives primarily consist of futures or options contracts via regulated exchanges and contracts with producers or customers under which the future settlement date and bushels (or gallons in the case of ethanol contracts) of commodities to be delivered (primarily wheat, corn, soybeans and ethanol) are fixed and the price may or may not be fixed. Depending on the specifics of the individual contracts, the fair value is derived from the futures or options prices quoted on various exchanges for similar commodities and delivery dates as well as observable quotes for local basis adjustments (the difference, which is attributable to local market conditions, between the quoted futures price and the local cash price). Because “basis” for a particular commodity and location typically has multiple quoted prices from other agribusinesses in the same geographical vicinity and is used as a common pricing mechanism in the agribusiness industry, the Company has concluded that “basis” is typically a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to commodity derivatives, depending on the specific commodity. Although nonperformance risk, both of the Company and the counterparty, is present in each of these commodity contracts and is a component of the estimated fair values, based on the Company’s historical experience with its producers and customers and the Company’s knowledge of their businesses, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant input to fair value for these commodity contracts.
These fair value disclosures exclude RMI which consists of agricultural commodity inventories measured at net realizable value. The net realizable value used to measure the Company’s agricultural commodity inventories is the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. This valuation would generally be considered Level 2. The amount of RMI is disclosed in Note 2. Changes in the net realizable value of commodity inventories are recognized as a component of Cost of sales and merchandising revenues.
Provisionally priced contract liabilities are those for which the Company has taken ownership and possession of grain, but the final purchase price has not been established. In the case of payables where the unpriced portion of the contract is limited to the futures price of the underlying commodity or the Company has delivered provisionally priced grain and a subsequent payable or receivable is set up for any future changes in the grain price, quoted exchange prices are used and the liability is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For all other unpriced contracts which include variable futures and basis components, the amounts recorded for delayed price contracts are determined on the basis of local grain market prices at the balance sheet date and, as such, are deemed to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible preferred securities are interests in several early-stage enterprises that may be in various forms, such as convertible debt or preferred equity securities.
There were no changes to the Company’s fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, or March 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes quantitative information about the Company's Level 3 fair value measurements:

| Fair Value as of | ||||||
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | March 31, 2024 | Valuation Method | Unobservable Input | Weighted Average |
| Convertible preferred securities (a) | $14,190 | $14,190 | $15,625 | Implied based on market prices | N/A | N/A |
(a) The Company considers observable price changes and other additional market data available to estimate fair value, including additional capital raising, internal valuation models, progress towards key business milestones, and other relevant market data points.
There were no nonrecurring level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, or March 31, 2024.
The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying value as they are close to maturity.
As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $644.7 million, $635.4 million, and $575.2 million, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt based upon the Company’s credit standing and current interest rates offered to the Company on similar bonds and rates currently available to the Company for long-term borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.
- Related Parties
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into related party transactions, mainly with the Company's minority shareholders of certain consolidated subsidiaries, regarding sales and purchases of commodities. Such related party sales comprised less than 4% of the Company's Sales and merchandising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Related party purchases comprised less than 1% of the Company's Cost of sales and merchandising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Receivables and payables resulting from the related party transactions described above comprised less than 3% of the Company's Accounts receivable, net, and less than 1% of the Company's Trade and other payables balances as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
The Company believes all transaction values to be similar to those that would be conducted with third parties at arm's-length.
- Segment Information
Reportable segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM allocates resources to and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment primarily based on Income before income taxes from continuing operations. The operating and reportable segment structure provides alignment between business strategies and operating results. The Company’s operations includetwo reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered as well as the management structure.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company realigned its organizational structure to better reflect updates in management reporting resulting in a change in reportable segments. As a result, the former Trade segment was combined with the former Nutrient & Industrial segment in the newly formed Agribusiness segment along with several smaller business lines being moved between the Agribusiness and Renewables segments. All prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
The Agribusiness segment includes commodity merchandising, the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities, and the manufacturing and distribution plant nutrient products. The Renewables segment produces, purchases and sells ethanol and co-products. The segment also operates a merchandising portfolio of ethanol, ethanol co-products and renewable diesel feedstocks. Other includes corporate income and expense and cost for functions that provide support and services to the operating segments, as well as other elimination and consolidation adjustments.
The segment information below includes the allocation of expenses shared by one or more operating segments. Although management believes such allocations are reasonable, the operating information does not necessarily reflect how such data might appear if the segments were operated as separate businesses. The Company does not have any customers who represent 10 percent, or more, of total revenues.
