Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2025
Note 1.Consolidated Financial Statements
References to the Company – References to “REX” or the “Company” in the consolidated financial statements and in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to REX American Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries.
The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Financial information as of January 31, 2025 included in these financial statements has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2025 (fiscal year 2024). These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2025. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements in this report include the operating results and financial position of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates the results of its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company includes the results of operations of One Earth Energy, LLC in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a delayed basis of one month as One Earth has a fiscal year end of December 31.
Stock Split – On August 26, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted resolutions declaring atwo-for-one split of the Company’s Common Stock to be effectuated in the form of a 100% stock dividend, payable on September 15, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2025. The stock split has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Nature of Operations – The Company hasone reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments inthree ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests.
In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company determined that based on the nature of the products and production process and the expected financial results, the Company’s operations at its ethanol plants are aggregated into one reporting segment.
Note 2.Accounting Policies
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s fiscal year 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year-end. Examples of such estimates include accrued liabilities, such as management bonuses, and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes bank deposits as well as short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales of ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil when obligations under the terms of the respective contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of products, generally upon shipment from the ethanol plant or upon loading of the rail car used to transport the products.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes depreciation, costs of raw materials, third-party freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, other distribution expenses, warehousing costs, plant repair and maintenance costs, production labor and related payroll costs, and general facility overhead charges.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The Company includes non-production related costs such as professional fees, selling charges, operating lease expense, and certain payroll in SG&A expenses.
Financial Instruments
Certain of the forward corn and natural gas purchase contracts and ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil sale contracts are accounted for under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815 because these arrangements are for purchases of corn that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company and sales of ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil in quantities expected to be produced by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments (exchange-traded futures contracts and swaps) to manage a portion of the risk associated with changes in commodity prices, primarily related to corn. The Company monitors and manages this exposure as part of its overall risk management policy. As such, the Company seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating results. The Company may take hedging positions in these commodities as one way to mitigate risk. While the Company attempts to link its hedging activities to purchase and sales activities, there are situations in which these hedging activities can themselves result in losses. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings as the Company does not use hedge accounting.
Income Taxes
The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company’s estimated annual tax rate as adjusted for discrete items impacting the interim periods. The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company paid income taxes of approximately $3.1 million and $5.5 million and receivedno refunds during the nine months ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
As of October 31, 2025, and January 31, 2025, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $18.9 million. Accrued penalties and interest were approximately $118,000 and approximately $99,000 at October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, the provision for income taxes would be reduced by approximately $18.8 million. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest.
Inventory
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost for all inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-products. Inventory is permanently written down in instances when cost exceeds estimated net realizable value; such write-downs are based primarily upon commodity prices as the market value of inventory is often dependent upon changes in commodity prices.
The Company didnot record any inventory write-downs at October 31, 2025. The Company recorded approximately $100,000 of inventory write-downs in cost of sales at January 31, 2025. Fluctuations in the write-down of inventory generally relate to the levels and composition of such inventory and changes in commodity prices at a given point in time.
The components of inventory are as follows as of the dates presented (amounts in thousands):
| October 31, 2025 | January 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Ethanol and other finished goods | $4,162 | $4,923 |
| Work in process | 4,671 | 5,185 |
| Corn and other raw materials | 18,842 | 21,568 |
| Total | $27,675 | $31,676 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost or the fair value on the date of acquisition (for property and equipment acquired in a business combination). Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 40 years for fixtures and equipment.
In accordance with ASC 360-10 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the carrying value of long-lived assets is assessed for recoverability by management when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment or record any impairment charges during the first nine months of fiscal year 2025 or 2024.
The Company tests for recoverability of an asset group by comparing its carrying amount to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the asset group’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, if any.
Investments
The method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee and also includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for investments in a limited liability company in which it has a less than 20% ownership interest using the equity method of accounting when the factors discussed in ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” are met. The excess of the carrying value over the underlying equity in the net assets of equity method investees is allocated to specific assets and liabilities. Investments in businesses that the Company does not control but for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the equity method. The Company accounts for its investment in Big River using the equity method of accounting and includes the results on a delayed basis of one month as Big River has a fiscal year end of December 31.
The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. Such impairment evaluations include general economic and company-specific evaluations. If the Company determines that a decline in market value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and a new cost basis in the investment is established.
Short-term investments, consisting of U.S. government obligations, are considered held to maturity, and therefore are carried at amortized historical cost.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of annual income tax disclosures. This ASU is effective for all entities that are subject to Topic 740 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted, but not required. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)”, which provides clarity in assessing an entity’s performance and prospects for future cash flows by disclosure of more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. This ASU is effective for the Company’s fiscal year-ended January 31, 2028. Early adoption is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
Note 3.Net Sales and Revenue
The Company recognizes sales of products when obligations under the terms of the respective contracts with customers are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of products, generally upon shipment from the ethanol plant or upon loading of the rail car or truck used to transport the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods. Sales, value added and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from net sales and revenue.
The majority of the Company’s sales have payment terms ranging from 5 to 10 days after transfer of control. The Company has determined that sales contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. The Company has not historically entered into sales contracts in which payment is due from a customer prior to transferring product to the customer. Thus, the Company does not record unearned revenue.
The following tables shows disaggregated revenue by product (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended October 31, | Nine Months Ended October 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Ethanol | $136,031 | $138,107 | $383,739 | $373,634 |
| Dried distillers grains | 22,357 | 25,032 | 65,903 | 77,564 |
| Distillers corn oil | 16,353 | 10,249 | 38,741 | 28,633 |
| Modified distillers grains | 1,180 | 1,159 | 4,053 | 3,479 |
| Derivative financial instruments (losses) gains | (328) | 300 | (110) | 737 |
| Other | 32 | 30 | 202 | 216 |
| Total | $175,625 | $174,877 | $492,528 | $484,263 |
Note 4.Leases
Operating Leases
At October 31, 2025, the Company had lease agreements, as lessee, for railcars. All of the leases are accounted for as operating leases. The lease agreements do not contain a specified implicit interest rate; therefore, the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate was used to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease and any periods covered by renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Certain leases include rent escalations pre-set in the agreements, which are factored into the lease payment stream.
The components of lease expense, classified as SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended October 31, | Nine Months Ended October 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Operating lease expense | $2,059 | $2,014 | $6,133 | $5,384 |
| Variable lease expense | 46 | 134 | 150 | 129 |
| Total lease expense | $2,105 | $2,148 | $6,283 | $5,513 |
| Total cash paid in measurement of lease liability | $1,955 | $1,821 | $5,806 | $4,981 |
The following table is a summary of future minimum rentals on such leases at October 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands):
| Years Ended January 31, | Minimum Rentals |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2026 | $1,931 |
| 2027 | 7,706 |
| 2028 | 6,378 |
| 2029 | 3,698 |
| 2030 | 2,036 |
| Thereafter | 133 |
| Total | 21,882 |
| Less: present value discount | 2,205 |
| Operating lease liabilities | $19,677 |
At October 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term is 2.9 years, and the weighted average discount rate is 6.60% for the outstanding leases.** **
At January 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term was 3.5 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 6.60% for the outstanding leases.** **
Finance Lease
At October 31, 2025, the Company had one lease agreement that was classified as a finance lease for an electrical substation facility. Prepayments totaling $15.6 million were made prior to fiscal year 2025, with monthly payments of approximately $39,000 to be made over the term of the lease. The lease term for this lease includes the noncancelable period of the lease and any periods for which only the Company has the option to cancel but is reasonably expected to continue the lease. Based on this, the lease term was determined to be 10 years. Control of the facility’s output was transferred to the Company just before the end of the first quarter of 2025, with monthly lease expense commencing in the second quarter of 2025. For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2025, expense related to this lease was approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which includes approximately $57,000 and $115,000, respectively, in interest expense.
The weighted average remaining lease term for the finance lease is 9.5 years as of October 31, 2025. A discount rate of 6.9% was deemed appropriate as an incremental borrowing rate for a 10-year term.
The following table is a summary of future minimum rentals on the lease at October 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands):
| Years Ended January 31, | Minimum Rentals |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2026 | $117 |
| 2027 | 469 |
| 2028 | 469 |
| 2029 | 469 |
| 2030 | 469 |
| Thereafter | 2,463 |
| Total | 4,456 |
| Less: present value discount | 1,194 |
| Finance lease liabilities | $3,262 |
Note 5.Fair Value
The Company applies ASC 820, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values which are provided below. The Company carries certain cash equivalents, investments, and derivative instruments at fair value.
The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate pricing and volatility factors, which are used to value the position. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. Estimation risk is greater for derivative asset and liability positions that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case interest rate, price or index scenarios are extrapolated in order to determine the fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality, the Company’s own credit standing and other specific factors, where appropriate.
To ensure the prudent application of estimates and management judgment in determining the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, investments and property and equipment, various processes and controls have been adopted, which include: (i) model validation that requires a review and approval for pricing, financial statement fair value determination and risk quantification; and (ii) periodic review and substantiation of profit and loss reporting for all derivative instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2025 are summarized below (amounts in thousands):
| Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 · Fair Value | ||||||

| Total | $16,537 | $16,360 |
Note 9.Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in commodity prices (raw materials and finished goods). To manage risks associated with the volatility of these natural business exposures, the Company enters into commodity agreements (exchange-traded futures contracts and swaps) and forward purchase (corn) and sale (ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil) contracts. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative financial instruments for which a lack of marketplace quotations would require the use of fair value estimation techniques. The changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings as the Company does not use hedge accounting.
The following table provides information about the fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments (that are not accounted for under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815) and the line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair values are reflected (in thousands):
| Asset Derivatives Fair Value · Liability Derivatives Fair Value | ||||||

| (2) | As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, all of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. The Company’s accounting policy is to offset position amounts owed or owing with the same counterparty. Depending on the amount of unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts held by the Company, the counterparty may require collateral to secure the Company’s derivative contract positions. As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company recorded this collateral balance within “Prepaid expenses and other” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
| (3) | Commodity futures assets and liabilities are included in “Prepaid expenses and other” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Until its expiration on June 1, 2025, the Company maintained the REX 2015 Incentive Plan, approved by its shareholders, which reserved a total of 3,300,000 split-adjusted shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to its terms. The plan provided for the granting of shares of stock, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights tied to the value of common stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock unit awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Until 2022, the Company had only granted restricted stock awards. In May 2022, the Company issued restricted stock units to certain officers of the Company which vested based on the Company’s TSR compared to the TSRs of companies that comprise the Russell 2000 Index over a three-year performance period (see below). The Company measures share-based compensation grants at fair value on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The Company records non-cash compensation expense related to liability and equity awards in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. At its time of expiration,1,065,809 shares (pre-2025 split) remained available for issuance under the plan.
An immaterial error was identified and corrected during the three-month period ended October 31, 2025, related to restricted stock awards that were reported as granted in June 2025 but were no longer available for grant as the plan had recently expired. The Board of Directors has acknowledged that the purported June restricted stock awards were not validly granted. The correcting entry reversed 119,856 shares granted and the related expense of approximately $0.3 million and reestablished an incentive compensation accrual of approximately $2.0 million. The Company anticipates that it will request its shareholders to approve a replacement equity plan at its Annual Meeting in 2026.
Restricted Stock Awards
As a component of their compensation, restricted stock has been granted in the past to directors and certain employees at the closing market price of REX common stock on the grant date. In addition, one quarter of executives’ incentive compensation is payable by an award of restricted stock based on the then closing market price of REX common stock on the grant date. The Company’s board of directors has determined that the grant date will be June 15 th, or the next business day if June 15 th is not a business day, for all grants of restricted stock.
Based on retirement eligibility provisions, a portion of restricted stock grants were expensed at grant date, based on grant date fair value, thus considered vested for accounting purposes. At October 31, 2025,20,964 shares were unvested for accounting purposes and unrecognized compensation cost related to these nonvested restricted stock awards was approximately $317,000, to be recognized over a weighted average vesting term of 1.3 years.
The following tables summarize legally unvested restricted stock award activity for the periods presented:
| Shares | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value (000’s) | Weighted Average Remaining Vesting Term (in years) | |

Restricted Stock Units
In May 2022, the Company issued a total of 135,000 RSUs to certain officers with a performance period that ended on December 31, 2024. The number of RSUs eligible to vest ranged from zero percent totwo-hundred percent and was determined based on how the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of companies that comprised the Russell 2000 Index during the performance period. The calculated payout of the RSUs that vested was 148%, or 199,800 shares of REX common stock, and the shares were issued on February 26, 2025.
The Company didnot recognize any compensation cost related to RSUs in the three- or nine-month periods ended October 31, 2025. The Company recognized compensation cost related to RSUs of approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2024, respectively.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2024, we calculated the diluted weighted average shares as follows (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended October 31, 2024 | Nine Months Ended October 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted average shares – basic | 35,189 | 35,100 |

| Weighted average shares – diluted | 35,445 | 35,346 |
Note 12. Income Taxes**
The Company’s income tax provision was approximately $8.0 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision was approximately $13.7 million and $17.6 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company assessed all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it expects sufficient future taxable income will be generated to allow for the realization of existing federal deferred tax assets. There is sufficient objectively verifiable income for management to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will utilize available federal deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. The OBBBA contains various tax reform provisions affecting businesses. We are still evaluating any impact this may have on our effective tax rate in the current year. In addition, we do anticipate that certain tax provisions in the OBBBA, such as the extension of bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025, to result in current deductions that will lower cash paid for income taxes for 2025. The OBBBA made changes to the 45Z and 45Q tax credits that the Company intends to take advantage of which could materially impact our effective tax rate. We continue to evaluate the tax and other provisions of the OBBBA and the potential effects on financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and various state income tax returns. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended January 31, 2014 and prior. The Company is currently undergoing a federal income tax examination for the years ended January 31, 2015 through January 31, 2022 related to refined coal production tax credits pursuant to IRC Section 45 and research and experimentation credits pursuant to IRC Section 41 claimed during those years. The IRS has given us notice they plan to deny these credits. We plan to vigorously defend these credits.
On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next 12 months.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, for the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, is as follows (amounts in thousands):
| Nine Months Ended October 31, | ||

| Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of period | $18,978 | $18,965 |
| Changes for prior years’ tax positions | 20 | 21 |
| Changes for current year tax positions | - | - |
| Unrecognized tax benefits, end of period | $18,998 | $18,986 |

Note 13.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may be involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, from time to time. After taking into consideration legal counsel’s evaluations of any such action(s), management is of the opinion that their outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no material liabilities recorded for legal actions at October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, as the Company did not believe that there was a probable and reasonably estimable significant loss associated with any legal contingencies.
At October 31, 2025, One Earth and NuGen had combined forward purchase contracts for approximately 14.3 million bushels of corn, the principal raw material for their ethanol plants, and they had combined forward purchase contracts for approximately 1.7 million MmBtu (million British thermal unit) of natural gas.
At October 31, 2025, One Earth and NuGen had combined sales commitments for approximately 81.7 million gallons of ethanol, approximately 97,800 tons of distillers grains and approximately 11.0 million pounds of distillers corn oil.
One Earth entered into a 15-year agreement, effective February 1, 2019, with an unrelated party for the use of a portion of that party’s natural gas pipeline, with monthly payments of$29,250. One Earth paid approximately $88,000 in the three-month periods ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 and $263,000 in the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, pursuant to the agreement.
At October 31, 2025, One Earth and NuGen had combined signed non-cancelable contracts for capital projects with approximately $17.4 million remaining in future payments.
Note 14.Related-Party Transactions
During the third quarters of fiscal years 2025 and 2024, One Earth and NuGen purchased approximately $19.4 million and $22.7 million, respectively, of corn (and other supplies) from minority equity investors and board members of those affiliates. Such purchases totaled approximately $73.3 million and $81.7 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company had amounts payable to related parties of approximately $0.6 million and $1.4 million at October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2024, $1.5 million was paid to landowners who are minority equity investors of One Earth Energy, for land easements related to the carbon sequestration project. There wereno amounts paid to related parties for land easements in the three-month period ended October 31, 2024 or during fiscal year 2025.
Note 15.Segment Reporting
The Company hasone reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments inthree ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests and are consolidated in the financial statements presented. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting.
The members of the Executive Committee, consisting of the Executive Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, are the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker uses net income generated from operating segments in determining the allocation of resources and making assessment of Company performance.
In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company determined that based on the nature of the products and production process and the expected financial results, the Company’s operations at its ethanol plants are aggregated into one reporting segment, each of which is reviewed in the same manner by the chief operating decision maker. Aggregation into one reporting segment is appropriate based upon the similarity of economic characteristics of the operating segments, including the markets for identical revenue sources and the primary input, corn. The plants in all locations operate in a similar manner to produce ethanol and by-products. The types of customers and how the products are distributed to the customers are similar across each operating entity, consisting of a combination of rail and truck shipments. Finally, the regulatory environment is largely impacted by guidance from the federal level, impacting each operating segment the same.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
