MGP INGREDIENTS, INC.
 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

Note 1.  Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

The Company. MGP Ingredients, Inc. (the “Company” or “MGP”) is a Kansas corporation headquartered in Atchison, Kansas and is a leading producer of branded and distilled spirits, as well as food ingredient solutions. Distilled spirits include premium bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys (“brown goods”) and grain neutral spirits (“GNS”), including vodka and gin (“white goods and other co-products”). The Company’s distilled spirits are either sold directly or indirectly to manufacturers of other branded spirits. The Company has a portfolio of its own high quality branded spirits which are produced through its distilleries and bottling facilities and sold to distributors. The Company’s branded spirits products account for a range of price points from value products through premium plus brands. The Company’s protein and starch food ingredients provide a host of functional, nutritional, and sensory benefits for a wide range of food products to serve the consumer packaged goods industry. The ingredients products are sold directly, or through distributors, to manufacturers and processors of finished packaged goods or to bakeries.

The Company reports three operating segments: Distilling Solutions, Branded Spirits, and Ingredient Solutions. Certain amounts in the Company’s 2023 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2024 presentation.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

The Company holds a 60 percent interest in Dos Primos Tequila, LLC (“Dos Primos”). The Company consolidated Dos Primos’ activity on the financial statements and presented the 40 percent non-controlling interest portion on a separate line.

Use of Estimates.  The financial reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP.  The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The application of certain of these policies places demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.  For all of these policies, management cautions that future events may not develop as forecast, and estimates routinely require adjustment and may require material adjustment.

Inventory.  Inventory includes finished goods, raw materials in the form of agricultural commodities used in the production process as well as bottles, caps, and labels used in the bottling process, and certain maintenance and repair items.  Bourbons, ryes, and other whiskeys, included in inventory, are normally aged in barrels for several years, following industry practice; all barreled bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys are classified as a current asset. The Company includes warehousing, insurance, and other carrying charges applicable to barreled whiskey in inventory costs.

9

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method.  Inventory valuations are impacted by constantly changing prices paid for key materials. Inventory consists of the following:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Finished goods$50,712 $55,463 
Barreled distillate (bourbons and other whiskeys)282,877 250,183 
Raw materials27,867 28,825 
Work in process1,035 1,691 
Maintenance materials8,353 8,355 
Other1,309 2,336 
Total$372,153 $346,853 

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services, through performance obligations by the Company, is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the performance obligations. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant and the period between when the entity transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is generally one year or less.

Revenue is recognized for the sale of products at the point in time finished products are delivered to the customer in accordance with shipping terms. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation because, at the point control passes to the customer, the customer has legal title and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred, and the customer has a present obligation to pay.

The Distilling Solutions segment routinely enters into bill and hold arrangements, whereby the Company produces and sells aged and unaged distillate to customers, and the product is barreled at the customer’s request and warehoused at a Company location for an extended period of time in accordance with directions received from the Company’s customers. Even though the aged and unaged distillate remains in the Company’s possession, a sale is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product. Control is transferred to the customer in bill and hold transactions when the customer acceptance specifications have been met, legal title has transferred, the customer has a present obligation to pay for the product, and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Additionally, all of the following bill and hold criteria have to be met in order for control to be transferred to the customer: the reason for the bill and hold arrangement is substantive, the customer has requested the product be warehoused, the product has been identified as separately belonging to the customer, the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.

Warehouse services revenue is recognized over the time that warehouse services are rendered and as they are rendered. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation because control of the aging products has already passed to the customer and there are no additional performance activities required by the Company, except as requested by the customer. The performance of the service activities, as requested, is invoiced as satisfied and revenue is concurrently recognized. Contract bottling is recognized over the time contract bottling services are rendered and as they are rendered.

Sales in the Branded Spirits segment reflect reductions attributable to consideration given to customers in incentive programs, including discounts and allowances for certain volume targets. These allowances and discounts are not for distinct goods and are paid only when the depletion volume targets are achieved by the customer. The amounts reimbursed to customers are determined based on agreed-upon amounts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Excise Taxes. The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department (the “TTB”) regulations, which include making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual U.S. states also impose excise taxes on alcohol beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its U.S. federal and state excise tax expense based upon units shipped and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue and expense.


10

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that at least some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”).  Basic and diluted EPS is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of Common Stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.  Basic EPS amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed using the if-converted method by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, inclusive of the impact of the Convertible Senior Notes, except for where the result would be anti-dilutive as of the balance sheet date.

Translation of Foreign Currencies. Assets and liabilities of Niche Drinks Co., Ltd. (“Niche”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using average rates during the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation process are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Business Combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed during a business combination are generally recorded at fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized to the extent that the purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, exceeds the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company uses its internal estimates and third-party valuation specialists to assist in determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement periods, which can be up to one year after the acquisition date, the Company can make adjustments to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the offset being an adjustment to goodwill.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company records goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in connection with various acquisitions of businesses and allocates the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets to its respective reporting units. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if events and circumstances occur that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment of goodwill is recognized. Judgment is required in the determination of reporting units, the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, including goodwill, and the determination of fair value of the reporting units. The Company separately evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based upon the observability of inputs. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
 
The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.  The carrying value of the short-term financial instruments approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature. These financial instruments have no stated maturities or the financial instruments have short-term maturities that approximate market.
 
The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. Excluding the impact of the conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes, the fair value of the Company’s debt was $207,827 and $194,440 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The financial statement carrying value of total debt (net of unamortized loan fees) was $289,968 and $287,249 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.  These fair values are considered Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

11

The fair value calculation of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Penelope Bourbon LLC (“Penelope”) uses unobservable inputs, such as estimated net sales over the term of the earn-out period, discount rates, and volatility rates. The contingent consideration is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The inputs used in the calculation of the contingent consideration liability are considered Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of relevant market activity. See Note 3, Business Combination, for more information.

Fair value disclosure for deferred compensation plan investments is included in Note 9, Employee and Non-Employee Benefit Plans.

Equity Method Investments. The Company holds 50 percent interests in DGL Destiladores, S.de R.L. de C.V. (“DGL”) and Agricola LG, S.de R.L. de C.V. (“Agricola” and together with DGL, “LMX”), which are accounted for as equity method investments and are considered affiliates of the Company. The investment in LMX, which is recorded in investment in joint ventures on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6,643 and $5,197 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $832 and $1,446, respectively, from its equity method investments, which is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $388 and a loss of $191, respectively, which is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 3. Business Combination

Description of the Transaction. On May 8, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of the equity of Penelope, and subsequently completed the acquisition on June 1, 2023 (the “Acquisition”). Penelope, prior to the Acquisition, was a family and founder-owned and operated American whiskey company with a diverse portfolio of high-quality whiskeys in the premium plus price tier. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company enhanced its presence in the growing American whiskey category and expanded its portfolio of premium plus price tier brands.

Following the Acquisition, Penelope became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial results are included within the Branded Spirits segment. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Acquisition was $105,000 in cash paid at closing, with further additional potential earn-out consideration of up to a maximum cash payout of $110,800 if certain performance conditions, measured through December 31, 2025, are met. The consideration is subject to customary purchase price adjustments related to, among other things, net working capital and acquired cash. The consideration paid at closing included a preliminary estimated purchase price adjustment. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company finalized the net working capital adjustments, which decreased the cash consideration from $105,000 at closing to $104,638 at December 31, 2023. The cash portion of the consideration and transaction-related expenses were paid using both
13

cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s existing credit agreement. See Note 5, Corporate Borrowings, for further details.

For tax purposes, the Acquisition was structured as an asset purchase which created additional tax basis in the assets acquired as a result of valuing the assets at fair market value and the purchase price will be accounted for in accordance with U.S. federal tax law. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

Purchase Price Allocation. The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and as such, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the consideration paid for Penelope to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill.
Consideration:
Cash$104,638 
Contingent consideration62,100 
Fair value of total consideration transferred$166,738 
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Accrued expenses and other205 
Long-term operating lease liabilities 268 
Total liabilities2,715 
Goodwill95,250 
Total $166,738 
(a) Intangible assets acquired included trade names with an estimated fair value of $34,000 and distributor relationships with an estimated fair value of $23,700.

In accordance with ASC 805, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the Acquisition date. The fair value measurements of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs include discount rates that would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets and liabilities, projections of revenues and cash flows, distributor attrition rates, royalty rates, and market comparables, among others. The fair value of work-in-process and finished goods inventory was determined using the comparative sales method and raw materials was determined using the replacement cost method.

Goodwill of $95,250, all of which is deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed. Additionally, the goodwill is representative of the strength of the Penelope brand within the American whiskey category, and the synergies expected to be achieved by the combined company. The intangible assets acquired included indefinite-lived intangible assets, trade names, with an estimated fair value of $34,000, and definite-lived intangible assets, distributor relationships, with an estimated fair value of $23,700 and a useful life of 20 years. The trade names and distributor relationships acquired by the Company have been recorded at estimated fair values using the relief from royalty method and multi-period excess earnings method, respectively. Management engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist in the valuation analysis of certain acquired assets including trade names and distributor relationships.

The operating results of Penelope have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements since the
14

June 1, 2023 acquisition date. The operating results and pro forma results are not disclosed due to the immaterial impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $15 and $101, respectively, of costs related to the Acquisition, which are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Contingent Consideration. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the Acquisition date was $62,100, which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. This approach requires significant assumptions, including projected net sales, discount rates, and volatility rates. The inputs used in the calculation of the contingent consideration liability are considered Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of relevant market activity. The contingent consideration liability is measured on a quarterly basis and recorded at fair value. The changes in fair value of the obligation resulted from changes in the key assumptions between measurement dates, such as projected net sales, discount rates, and volatility rates. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024, there were $6,400 and $15,900, respectively, in adjustments to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation, which were included in the change of fair value of contingent consideration on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The amount payable is based upon achievement of certain net sales targets between the Acquisition date and December 31, 2025. The possible payments range from zero to a maximum payout of $110,800.

Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets. The Company acquired definite-lived intangible assets in connection with various acquisitions of businesses. The distributor relationships have a carrying value of $56,275, net of accumulated amortization of $8,825. The distributor relationships have a useful life of 20 years. The amortization expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024 was $814 and $2,441, respectively. The amortization expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 was $820 and $1,948, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024, the expected future amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets is as follows:
Remainder of 2024$814 
20253,255 
20263,255 
20273,255 
20283,255 
Thereafter42,441 
Total$56,275 

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. The Company records goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in connection with various acquisitions of businesses and allocates the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets to its respective reporting units. The carrying amount of goodwill, which relates to the Branded Spirits segment, was $321,544 at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying amount of trade name indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relates to the Branded Spirits segment, was $212,990 at both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Convertible Senior Notes. On November 16, 2021, the Company issued $201,250 in aggregate principal amount of 1.88% convertible senior notes due in 2041 (the “2041 Notes”). The 2041 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 16, 2021 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, as issuer, Luxco, Inc., MGPI Processing, Inc., and MGPI of Indiana, LLC, as subsidiary guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2041 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears at a fixed interest rate of 1.88% on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2041 Notes mature on November 15, 2041 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted, per the terms of the Indenture.

Note Purchase Agreements. The Company’s Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of Prudential, provides for the issuance of $20,000 of Series A Senior Secured Notes and the issuance of up to $105,000 of additional Senior Secured Notes (or any higher amount solely to the extent Prudential has provided written notice to the Company of its authorization of such a higher amount). Effective August 23, 2023, the Note Purchase Agreement was amended to increase the total amount of Senior Secured Notes that may be issued under the facility of the Note Purchase Agreement to $250,000.

Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the estimated annual effective tax rate is updated and a year to date adjustment is made to the provision. The Company’s quarterly effective tax rate can be subject to significant change due to the effect of discrete items arising in a given quarter.
Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024 was $7,554 and $23,924, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 24.0 percent and 23.8 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024 differed from the 21 percent U.S. federal statutory rate on pretax income primarily due to state income taxes and income taxes on foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by U.S. state and federal tax credits and the deduction applicable to export activity.

Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 was $4,373 and $24,832, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 25.0 percent and 24.6 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023 differed from the 21 percent U.S. federal statutory rate on pretax income primarily due to state income taxes and income taxes on foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by U.S. state and federal tax credits and the deduction applicable to export activity.

Note 8.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, a party to legal and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company accrues estimated costs for a contingency when management believes that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Note 9.  Employee and Non-Employee Benefit Plans

Share-Based Compensation Plans.  The Company had two equity-based compensation plans, the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2014 Non-Employee Director Equity Incentive Plan, both of which expired in April 2024. At the Company’s annual meeting in May 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved a new equity-based compensation plan, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which initially authorized 1,319,320 shares for issuance, subject to the adjustment and add-back provision of the 2024 Plan. Similar to the prior plans, the 2024 Plan provides for the awarding of stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock, RSUs, and other stock-based awards for executive officers and other employees, as well as non-employee directors and certain consultants and advisors. As of September 30, 2024, 1,329,232 shares remain available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.
18


Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company established an unfunded Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDC Plan”) effective June 30, 2018, with a purpose to attract and retain highly-compensated key employees by providing participants with an opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus, and other specified compensation. The Company’s obligations under the EDC Plan change in conjunction with the performance of the participants’ investments, along with contributions to and withdrawals from the EDC Plan. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation plan investments were included as a component of other income (expense), net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a gain on deferred compensation plan investments of $196 and $482, respectively, and for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a loss on deferred compensation plan investments of $118 and a gain on deferred compensation plan investments of $272, respectively.

EDC Plan investments are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since the investments trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable the Company to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Participants were able to direct the deferral of a portion of their base salary and a portion of their estimated accrued short-term incentive plan (“STI Plan”) amounts that were paid during the first quarter of the following year. Base salary amounts elected for deferral are deposited into the EDC Plan by the Company on a weekly basis and allocated by participants among Company-determined investment options. STI Plan deferral amounts are deposited, at the time of payment, into the EDC Plan by the Company and allocated by participants among Company-determined investment options.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the EDC Plan investments were $3,659 and $2,916, respectively, which were recorded in other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The EDC Plan current liabilities were $1,796 and $74 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which were included in accrued expenses and other on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The EDC Plan non-current liabilities were $2,003 and $3,314 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and were included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 10.  Operating Segments

At September 30, 2024, the Company had three segments: Distilling Solutions, Branded Spirits, and Ingredient Solutions. The Company’s reportable segments are based on the financial information the chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, uses to allocate resources and evaluate performance of the business. The Distilling Solutions segment consists of food grade alcohol (primarily brown goods) and distillery co-products, such as distillers feed (commonly called dried distillers grain in the industry). The Distilling Solutions segment also includes warehouse services, such as barrel put away, barrel storage, and barrel retrieval services. The Branded Spirits segment consists of a portfolio of high quality branded spirits which are produced through the distilleries and bottling facilities. The Ingredient Solutions segment consists of specialty starches and proteins as well as commodity starches and proteins. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and are treated as a transfer of inventory. All intercompany revenues are eliminated in consolidation and are not reviewed when evaluating segment performance.

Operating profit for each segment is based on sales less identifiable operating expenses.  Non-direct selling, general, and administrative expenses, interest expense, and other general miscellaneous expenses are excluded from segment operations and are classified as Corporate.  Receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, leases, goodwill, and intangible assets have been identified with the segments to which they relate.  All other assets are considered as Corporate.

Sales - Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $161,461, a decrease of 24 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, which was the result of decreased sales in each segment. Within the Distilling Solutions segment, sales were down 36 percent due to decreased sales of white goods and other co-products in connection with the December 2023 closure of our distillery located in Atchison, Kansas (the “Atchison Distillery”), as well as decreased brown goods sales. Within the Ingredient Solutions segment, sales were down 18 percent, due to decreased sales of specialty wheat proteins, commodity wheat starches, and specialty wheat starches. Within the Branded Spirits segment, sales were down 6 percent, primarily due to decreased sales of brands in the mid and value price tiers (see “Segment Results”).

Gross profit - Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $65,815, a decrease of 10 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease was driven by a decrease in gross profit in the Ingredient Solutions and Distilling Solutions segments, partially offset by an increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits segment. Within the Ingredient Solutions segment, gross profit decreased by $6,403, or 58 percent. Within the Distilling Solutions segment, gross profit declined by $4,636, or 14 percent. Within the Branded Spirits segment, gross profit increased $3,406, or 12 percent (see “Segment Results”).

Advertising and promotion expenses - Advertising and promotion expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $9,647, a slight increase of 1 percent compared to the year-ago quarter.

SG&A expenses - SG&A expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were $17,204, a decrease of 20 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to reduced incentive compensation expenses.
22

Operating income - Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased to $32,564 from $19,839 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, primarily as a result of the 2023 impairment of long-lived assets and other expenses of $18,334 related to the closure of the Atchison Distillery that did not recur during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, the increase in operating income was due to the lower SG&A expenses and the increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits segment. These increases were partially offset by decreases in gross profit in the Ingredient Solutions and Distilling Solutions segments.

Sales - Sales for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 were $522,829, a decrease of 16 percent compared to the year-ago period, which was the result of decreased sales in each segment. Within the Distilling Solutions segment, sales were down 27 percent primarily due to decreased sales of white goods and other co-products in connection with the December 2023 closure of the Atchison Distillery. Sales of Branded Spirits were down 2 percent, primarily due to decreased sales of brands within the mid and value price tiers. Within the Ingredient Solutions segment, sales were down 3 percent, primarily due to decreased sales of specialty wheat proteins and commodity wheat starches (see “Segment Results”).

Gross profit - Gross profit for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 was $211,842, a decrease of 4 percent compared to the year-ago period. The decrease was driven by a decrease in gross profit in the Ingredient Solutions segment, partially offset by an increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits segment. In the Ingredient Solutions segment, gross profit decreased by $16,914, or 48 percent. In the Branded Spirits segment, gross profit increased by $8,975, or 11 percent. In the Distilling Solutions segment, gross profit was consistent with the year-ago period (see “Segment Results”).

Advertising and promotion expenses - Advertising and promotion expenses for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 were $29,995, an increase of 16 percent compared to the year-ago period, primarily driven by increased advertising and promotion investment in the Branded Spirits segment, specifically in the premium plus price tier.

SG&A expenses - SG&A expenses for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 were $60,942, a decrease of 7 percent compared to the year-ago period. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to reduced incentive compensation expenses.

Operating income - Operating income for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 decreased to $104,868 from $105,541 for the year to date period ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in gross profit in the Ingredient Solutions segment, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Penelope acquisition, and the increase in advertising and promotion expenses. These decreases were partially offset by the impairment of assets and other expenses in the year ago period related to the closure of the Atchison Distillery which was closed in December 2023, increased gross profit in the Branded Spirits segment, and a decrease in SG&A expenses.

Total sales of the Distilling Solutions segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $39,934, or 36 percent, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in sales of the Distilling Solutions segment is primarily related to the decrease in sales volume of white goods and other co-products, which was due to the closure of the Atchison Distillery during December 2023. Sales of brown goods decreased primarily due to a decrease in net price/mix and decreased sales volume (as defined in the table above). The brown goods decline was primarily the result of softening American whiskey category trends and elevated industry-wide barrel inventories, leading to instances of customer contract non-performance that put pressure on our brown goods business with a larger impact on our smaller, craft customer base. We expect these trends to continue, which may impact our future results of operations.

Gross profit decreased quarter versus quarter by $4,636, or 14 percent. Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased to 39.8 percent from 29.8 percent for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a decrease in brown goods sales due to decreases in net price/mix and sales volumes of brown goods, partially offset by lower average unit costs. This was partially offset by the positive impact the closure of the Atchison Distillery had on white goods and other co-products’ gross profit.

Total sales of the Distilling Solutions segment for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $91,782, or 27 percent compared to the year-ago period. The decrease in sales of the Distilling Solutions segment is primarily related to the decrease in sales volume of white goods and other co-products, which was due to the closure of the Atchison Distillery during December 2023. The decrease in brown goods was primarily related to a decrease in net price/mix (as defined above), partially offset by increased sales volume. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales of warehouse services.

Gross profit for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 increased by $214 compared to the year-ago period. Gross margin for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 increased to 42.1 percent from 30.7 percent for the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the positive impact the closure of the Atchison Distillery had on white goods and other co-products’ gross profit. Additionally, the increase was due to an increase in warehouse services sales. These increases were partially offset by decreased net price/mix of brown goods.

Total sales of the Branded Spirits segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $4,195, or 6 percent, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was driven by a decrease in the sales of brands within the mid, value, and other price tiers, partially offset by an increase in sales of the premium plus price tier. The decrease in sales of brands within the mid and value price tiers was driven by lower sales volumes, as we increased pricing on certain lower margin mid and value brands.

Gross profit increased quarter versus quarter by $3,406, or 12 percent. Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased to 51.8 percent from 43.5 percent for the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by increased net price/mix of certain American whiskey brands within the premium plus price tier and increased gross profit in the mid and value price tiers, which was driven by lower average unit costs and higher average net price/mix.

Total sales of Branded Spirits for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $4,507, or 2 percent, compared to the year-ago period, due primarily to decreased sales volume of select brands within the mid and value price tiers due to increased pricing on certain lower margin mid and value brands. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in sales of brands within the premium plus price tier which was primarily due to the acquisition of Penelope.

Gross profit for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 increased by $8,975, or 11 percent, compared to the year-ago period. Gross margin for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 increased to 50.1 percent from 43.9 percent from the prior year period The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the acquisition of Penelope and increased gross profit in the mid and value price tiers, which was driven by lower unit cost and higher average net price/mix.

(a) Total sales change is calculated by taking the difference between current period sales dollars and prior period sales dollars, divided by prior period sales dollars.
(b) Volume change is calculated by taking the difference between current period sales volume and prior period sales volume, multiplied by prior period sales per unit. The product is then divided by prior period sales dollars.
(c) Net price/mix change is calculated by taking the difference between current period sales-per-unit and prior period sales-per unit, multiplied by current period sales volume. The product is then divided by prior period sales dollars.
(d) Percentage points (“pp”).

Total sales of the Ingredient Solutions segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $6,034, or 18 percent, compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased sales volume of specialty wheat proteins primarily due to continued export market headwinds. The decrease was also driven by decreased sales volume of commodity wheat starches due to increased domestic competition.
Gross profit decreased quarter versus quarter by $6,403, or 58 percent. Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased to 17.6 percent from 33.8 percent for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by increased input costs primarily due to the removal of the intercompany credit for the waste starch slurry by-product since the closure of the Atchison Distillery, as well as other costs incurred to ready the waste starch for commercial sale. Additionally, the decrease in gross profit was attributable to decreased sales volume of specialty wheat proteins.

Total sales of the Ingredient Solutions segment for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $2,517, or 3 percent, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased net price/mix across all product categories, as well as a decrease in sales volume of specialty wheat protein primarily due to continued export market headwinds. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales volume of specialty wheat starches.
Gross profit decreased by $16,914, or 48 percent for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. Gross margin for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 decreased to 18.8 percent from 35.5 percent for the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by higher input costs associated with the removal of the intercompany credit for the waste starch slurry by-product since the closure of the Atchison Distillery, as well as other costs incurred to ready the waste starch for commercial sale. Additionally, we incurred incremental costs for the new extrusion manufacturing facility during the year to date period. The decrease in gross profit was also attributable to decreased sales volume of specialty wheat proteins.

CASH FLOW, FINANCIAL CONDITION, AND LIQUIDITY

We believe our financial condition continues to be of high quality, as evidenced by our ability to generate adequate cash from operations while having ready access to capital at competitive rates.

Operating cash flow and borrowings through our Credit Agreement, Convertible Senior Notes, and Note Purchase Agreement (see Note 5, Corporate Borrowings) provide the primary sources of cash to fund operating needs and capital expenditures. These same sources of cash are used to fund stockholder dividends and other discretionary uses. Our overall liquidity reflects our strong business results and an effective cash management strategy that takes into account liquidity management, economic factors, and tax considerations. We expect our sources of cash to be adequate to provide for budgeted capital expenditures, potential mergers or acquisitions, and anticipated operating requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$2,384 $(19,859)$22,243 

Cash increased $2,384 for the year to date ended September 30, 2024, compared to a decrease of $19,859 for the year to date ended September 30, 2023, for a net increase in cash of $22,243, period versus period.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 was $73,512. The cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $76,463, adjustments for non-cash or non-operating charges of $32,845, including depreciation and amortization, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and share-based compensation, partially offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $35,796. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were $24,979 use of cash related to an increase in inventories, primarily due to an increase in barreled distillate, $10,627 use of cash related to a decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments, $9,935 related to accrued expenses and other, which related to a decrease in our incentive compensation accrual, partially offset by $13,979 cash provided by decreased accounts receivables, net, due to the timing of sales and customer payments during the year to date period as well as the closure of the Atchison Distillery in December 2023.

Cash provided by operating activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2023 was $48,605. The cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $76,084, adjustments for non-cash or non-operating charges of $42,912, including impairment of long-lived assets and other, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and the change in fair value of contingent consideration, partially offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities, net of the effects of acquisition, of $70,391. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were $42,015 use of cash related to an increase in inventories, primarily due to an increase in barreled distillate, $14,980 use of cash related to increased accounts receivable, net, due to timing of sales and customer payments during the quarter, and $10,069 use of cash related to a decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 was $53,126, which primarily resulted from additions to property, plant, and equipment of $52,850 (see “Capital Spending”). Cash used in investing activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2023 was $146,690, which primarily resulted from $103,712 related to the acquisition of Penelope, net of cash acquired, and additions to property, plant, and equipment of $42,062 (see “Capital Spending”).

Capital Spending. We manage capital spending to support our business growth plans. We have incurred $43,503 and $36,879 of capital expenditures and have paid $52,850 and $42,062 for capital expenditures for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The difference between the amount of capital expenditures incurred and amount paid is due to the change in capital expenditures in accounts payable. We expect approximately $78,000 in capital expenditures in 2024, which includes capital expenditures for facility improvement and expansion, facility sustaining projects, and environmental health and safety projects.

32

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2024 was $18,048, due to repurchases of Common Stock of $12,235 (see “Treasury Purchases” and “Share Repurchase”), and payments of dividends and dividend equivalents of $8,013 (see “Dividends and Dividend Equivalents”), partially offset by net proceeds on debt of $2,200 (see “Long-Term and Short-Term Debt”).

Cash provided by financing activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2023 was $78,193, due to net proceeds on debt of $87,000 (see “Long-Term and Short-Term Debt”), partially offset by payments of dividends and dividend equivalents of $8,006 (see “Dividends and Dividend Equivalents”), and repurchase of Common Stock of $801 (see “Treasury Purchases”).

Treasury Purchases. 81,942 RSUs vested and converted to shares of Common Stock for employees during the year to date ended September 30, 2024, of which we withheld and purchased for treasury 25,521 shares valued at $2,185 to cover payment of associated withholding taxes.

22,592 RSUs vested and converted to shares of Common Stock for employees during the year to date ended September 30, 2023, of which we withheld and purchased for treasury 8,437 shares valued at $801 to cover payment of associated withholding taxes.

Share Repurchase. On February 29, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $100,000 share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, we can repurchase Common Stock from time to time for cash in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time by the Company without prior notice. During the year to date ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 128,360 shares of Common Stock for approximately $10,000, resulting in approximately $90,000 remaining under the share repurchase program.

On October 31, 2024, we announced a dividend payable to stockholders of record of our Common Stock, resulting in dividend equivalents payable to RSU holders, of $0.12 per share and per RSU. The dividend and dividend equivalent are payable on November 29, 2024 to stockholders of record and RSU holders on November 15, 2024.

Long-Term and Short-Term Debt. We maintain debt levels we consider appropriate after evaluating a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for ongoing operations, investment and financing plans (including brand development, merger and acquisition, and share repurchase activities), and the overall cost of capital. Total debt was $289,968 (net of unamortized loan fees of $6,082) at September 30, 2024, and $287,249 (net of unamortized loan fees of $6,601) at December 31, 2023.

33

Financial Condition and Liquidity. Our principal uses of cash in the ordinary course of business are for input costs used in our production processes, salaries, capital expenditures, and investments supporting our strategic plan, such as the aging of barreled distillate and potential mergers and acquisitions.  Generally, during periods when commodities prices are rising, our operations require increased use of cash to support inventory levels.

Our principal sources of cash are product sales and borrowing on our various debt agreements. Under our debt agreements, we must meet certain financial covenants and restrictions, and at September 30, 2024, we met those covenants and restrictions.

At September 30, 2024, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $449,670, largely due to our inventories, at cost, of $372,153. At September 30, 2024, our cash balance was $20,772 and we have used our various debt agreements for liquidity purposes, with $330,000 available under our Credit Agreement for additional borrowings and $225,200 available under the Note Purchase Agreement (see Note 5, Corporate Borrowings). We anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations. We regularly assess our cash needs and the available sources to fund these needs. We utilize short-term and long-term debt to fund discretionary items, such as capital investments, dividend payments, and potential mergers and acquisitions. Subject to market conditions, we could also fund future mergers and acquisitions through the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, we have strong operating results such that we believe financial institutions should provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements, if needed.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets with the goal to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results and financial condition.

Commodity Costs. Certain commodities we use in our production process, or input costs, expose us to market price risk due to volatility in the prices for those commodities.  Through our grain supply contracts for our Lawrenceburg facility, our wheat flour supply contract for our Atchison facility, and our natural gas contracts for both facilities, we purchase grain, wheat flour, and natural gas, respectively, for delivery from one to 24 months into the future at negotiated prices.  We have determined that the firm commitments to purchase grain, wheat flour, and natural gas under the terms of our supply contracts meet the normal purchases and sales exception as defined under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, because the quantities involved are for amounts to be consumed within the normal expected production process.

Interest Rate Exposures. Our various debt agreements (see Note 5, Corporate Borrowings) expose us to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Established procedures and internal processes govern the management of this market risk.

Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense under our variable interest rate debt to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings under variable interest rate debt during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. Based on weighted average outstanding variable-rate borrowings at September 30, 2024, a 100 basis point increase over the current rates actually in effect at such date would increase our interest expense on an annual basis by $700. Based on weighted average outstanding fixed-rate borrowings at September 30, 2024, a 100 basis point increase in market rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate debt of $22,927, and a 100 basis point decrease in market rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate debt of $9,172.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of September 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
