Andersons reports Q2 adjusted EPS 24c, consensus 51c

Reports Q2 revenue $3.14B, consensus $2.86B. “Over the past couple of years, we have shared our intent to utilize a disciplined capital deployment approach to grow earnings through additional investment in ethanol. After evaluating several opportunities, we have acquired Marathon’s ownership in TAMH, in line with our stated strategy. This transaction doubles our financial ownership in the ethanol industry, a key growth pillar within our Renewables strategy. Importantly, we currently operate the four plants with Andersons (ANDE) employees, thus limiting our execution risk. The acquisition is attractive from a financial perspective and we expect immediate accretion in earnings per share. These production facilities are poised to further benefit from increased support for renewable fuels,” said CEO Bill Krueger. “Construction continues on our Houston port project, which was initiated to improve the efficiency and capacity of our grain operations and add export capacity for U.S. soybean meal, which should be supported by potential changes from the EPA’s proposed renewable volume obligations (RVOs). We expect completion of this project by mid-2026. Finally, we are continuing to optimize our portfolio and improve the efficiency of our operations. Work continues on integrating the former Trade and Nutrient businesses, including the addition of Skyland Grain, LLC assets into our agribusiness portfolio. As we finish a successful wheat harvest, we are preparing our facilities for an anticipated large fall harvest. Near record corn plantings in the U.S. should provide opportunities for both our merchandising and grain asset footprint into 2026”.
