DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--REX American Resources Corporation (“REX” or the “Company”) (NYSE: REX), a leading ethanol production company, today announced financial and operational results for the Company’s full year and fiscal fourth quarter 2025.

REX American Resources’ Q4 and full fiscal year 2025 results principally reflect its interests in six ethanol production facilities. The One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen Energy, LLC (“NuGen”) ethanol production facilities are consolidated, while the four other ethanol plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates.

Full Fiscal Year 2025 Results

For the full fiscal year 2025, REX reported net sales and revenue of $650.5 million, compared with $642.5 million for full fiscal year 2024. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase primarily reflects improved ethanol and corn oil pricing. Full fiscal year 2025 gross profit for the Company was $93.7 million, compared with $91.5 million in full fiscal year 2024, primarily reflecting better crush margins. Gross profit margin for fiscal year 2025 remained steady at 14% compared to fiscal year 2024. Full fiscal year 2025 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests was $88.6 million, compared with $92.9 million in the prior year period.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders in full fiscal year 2025 was $83.0 million, compared to $58.2 million in full fiscal year 2024. Full fiscal year diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $2.50, compared to $1.65 per share in full fiscal year 2024. Per share results for full fiscal years 2025 and 2024 are based on 33,208,000 and 35,272,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

REX reported Q4 ’25 net sales and revenue of $158.0 million, compared to Q4 ‘24 net sales and revenue of $158.2 million. Fourth quarter 2025 gross profit for the Company was $28.9 million, compared with $17.6 million in Q4 ’24, a result of improved ethanol pricing and lower corn costs, the two largest drivers of gross profit. This led to Q4 ‘25 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $27.4 million, compared with $17.9 million in Q4 ’24.

During Q4 ’25, the Company recognized approximately $28.1 million in 45Z tax credits as a reduction to income tax expense. 45Z tax credits became available for production and sales beginning January 1, 2025.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders in Q4 ‘25 was $43.7 million, compared to $11.1 million in Q4 ’24. Q4 ‘25 diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $1.32, compared to $0.31 per share in Q4 ’24. Per share results for Q4 ’25 and Q4 ’24 are based on 33,037,000 and 35,261,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

Update on One Earth Energy Ethanol Production Expansion and Carbon Capture Projects

REX is nearing completion of the expansion of ethanol production at the One Earth facility. The Company expects testing and commissioning to begin upon completion, with the facility becoming fully operational during fiscal 2026.

The Company’s carbon capture and sequestration project continues to await permitting for the Class VI injection well and associated carbon dioxide pipeline. REX remains actively engaged with the U.S. EPA and the Illinois Commerce Commission throughout both processes.

Capital expenditures to-date related to the One Earth Energy carbon capture and sequestration project and related expansion of ethanol production capacity at the Gibson City location totaled $166 million. The Company continues to budget a total of $220-$230 million for these projects.

Share Repurchases

During Fiscal Year 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 1,651,252 shares, for total consideration of $32.9 million. After these repurchases, a total of 2,357,186 shares remained available to purchase under existing board authorization.

Balance Sheet

As of January 31, 2026, REX had $375.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments available and no bank debt.
