The Andersons, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). Controlled subsidiaries include majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The portion of these entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
During the third quarter of 2021, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Rail business were classified as held-for-sale in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed further in Note 14, the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell the Rail Leasing business. In conjunction with the sale of the Rail Leasing business, the Company announced its intent to divest the remainder of the Rail business, which primarily consisted of the Rail Repair business. These transactions effectively constitute the entirety of what has historically been included in the Rail reportable segment. Therefore, the associated operating results, net of income tax, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with the exception of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and unless otherwise indicated, amounts and activity are presented on a continuing operations basis.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to current year classifications. The reclassification relates to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation of assets and liabilities as held-for-sale and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations presentation of results classified as discontinued operations in relation to the Rail business transactions noted above.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring items considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods indicated have been made. The results in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in The Andersons, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

2. Inventories
Major classes of inventories are presented below. Readily Marketable Inventories ("RMI") are agricultural commodity inventories such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and ethanol co-products, among others, carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value based on their commodity characteristics, widely available markets, and pricing mechanisms. The net realizable value of RMI is calculated as the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. All other inventories are held at lower of cost or net realizable value.

(a) Includes RMI of $1,214.4 million, $1,410.9 million and $612.2 million at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
Inventories do not include 1.3 million, 3.0 million and 1.2 million bushels of grain held in storage for others as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company does not have title to the grain and is only liable for any deficiencies in grade or shortage of quantity that may arise during the storage period. Management has not experienced historical losses on any deficiencies and does not anticipate material losses in the future.

On March 2, 2022, the Company completed an incremental term loan amendment to its credit agreement dated January 11, 2019. The amendment provided for a short-term note of $250.0 million in which the entire stated principal was due on May 31, 2022 (subsequently extended to August 31, 2022 as described below). On March 9, 2022, the Company completed an additional term loan amendment that expanded the short-term note capacity from $250.0 million to $450.0 million. On May 27, 2022, the Company completed an additional amendment to convert the $350.0 million then outstanding balance from the $450.0 million incremental term loan amendment to a revolving credit agreement with a capacity of up to $450.0 million. The entire amount outstanding will be due on August 31, 2022. The revolving credit agreement will bear interest at variable rates, which are based on SOFR plus an applicable spread. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had drawn $250.0 million on the revolving credit agreement.
On March 28, 2022, the Company amended its credit agreement dated January 11, 2019. The amendment increased borrowing capacity on the revolver from $900.0 million to $1,550.0 million and extended the maturity dates of the $140.6 million and $209.4 million long-term notes originally due in 2026 to March 26, 2027 and March 28, 2029, respectively. The amendment also transitions the reference rate in the credit agreement from LIBOR to SOFR. The revolver and term notes will bear interest at variable rates, which are based on SOFR plus an applicable spread.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repaid the remaining $200.0 million balance that was outstanding as of December 31, 2021 on a short-term note that was classified as recourse debt to the Company.
The total borrowing capacity of the Company's lines of credit at June 30, 2022 was $2,501.7 million of which the Company had a total of $1,315.2 million available for borrowing under its lines of credit. The Company's borrowing capacity is reduced by a combination of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.
As of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of long-term debt, including the current portion, was $617.5 million, $650.7 million and $910.5 million, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt based upon the Company’s credit standing and current interest rates offered to the Company on similar bonds and rates currently available to the Company for long-term borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 9
5. Derivatives
The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Trade and Renewables businesses have established “unhedged” futures position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract). To reduce the exposure to market price risk on commodities owned and forward purchase and sale contracts, the Company enters into exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts and over-the-counter forward and option contracts with various counterparties. These contracts are primarily traded via regulated commodity exchanges. The Company’s forward purchase and sales contracts are for physical delivery of the commodity in a future period. Contracts to purchase commodities from producers generally relate to the current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Most contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyond one year .
Most of these contracts meet the definition of derivatives. While the Company considers its commodity contracts to be effective economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards. The Company primarily accounts for its commodity derivatives at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the commodity derivative contracts that require the receipt or posting of cash collateral is recorded on a net basis (offset against cash collateral posted or received, also known as margin deposits) within commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Management determines fair value based on exchange-quoted prices and in the case of its forward purchase and sale contracts, estimated fair value is adjusted for differences in local markets and non-performance risk. For contracts for which physical delivery occurs, balance sheet classification is based on estimated delivery date. For futures, options and over-the-counter contracts in which physical delivery is not expected to occur but, rather, the contract is expected to be net settled, the Company classifies these contracts as current or noncurrent assets or liabilities, as appropriate, based on the Company’s expectations as to when such contracts will be settled.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of commodity contracts (whether due to changes in commodity prices, changes in performance or credit risk, or due to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the commodity contract) and commodity inventories are included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues.
Generally accepted accounting principles permit a party to a master netting arrangement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments against the right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral under the same master netting arrangement. The Company has master netting arrangements for its exchange traded futures and options contracts and certain over-the-counter contracts. When the Company enters into a future, option or an over-the-counter contract, an initial margin deposit may be required by the counterparty. The amount of the margin deposit varies by commodity. If the market price of a future, option or an over-the-counter contract moves in a direction that is adverse to the Company’s position, an additional margin deposit, called a maintenance margin, is required. The margin deposit assets and liabilities are included in short-term commodity derivative assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, a summary of the estimated fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments that require cash collateral and the associated cash posted/received as collateral. The net asset or liability positions of these derivatives (net of their cash collateral) are determined on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and are included within current or non-current commodity derivative assets (or liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Interest Rate and Other Derivatives
The Company’s objectives for using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The gains or losses on the derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

6. Revenue
Many of the Company’s revenues are generated from contracts that are outside the scope of Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 606 and thus are accounted for under other accounting standards. Specifically, many of the Company's Trade and Renewables sales contracts are derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The breakdown of revenues between the two standards are as follows:
| Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Substantially all of the Company's revenues accounted for under ASC 606 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are recorded at a point in time instead of over time.
Contract balances
The balances of the Company’s contract liabilities were $21.7 million and $100.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. The main driver of the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2021, is payments for primary and specialty nutrients received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. Due to seasonality of this business, contract liabilities were built up at year-end and through the first quarter in preparation for the spring application season. As expected, the revenue recognized in the current period satisfied the contract liabilities throughout the spring application season for our Plant Nutrient segment.
7. Income Taxes
On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and makes changes, if necessary, based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted based on actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and is used to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. The Company also recognizes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates and impacts from settlements with tax authorities, discretely in the quarter in which they occur.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.8 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 13.3 % on income before taxes from continuing operations of $118.2 million. The difference between the 13.3 % effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $9.7 million. The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.0 % on income from continuing operations of $53.7 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% due to the tax impact of certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local taxes and nondeductible compensation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $19.9 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 15.4 % on income before taxes from continuing operations of $128.8 million. The difference between the 15.4 % effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $14.0 million. The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.7 % on income from continuing operations of $67.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% due to the tax impact of certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local taxes and nondeductible compensation.

(a)Includes associated cash posted/received as collateral
(b)Included in "Provisionally priced contracts" are those instruments based only on underlying futures values (Level 1) and delayed price contracts (Level 2)
(c)Recorded in “Other assets, net” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to certain available for sale securities.
(d)Included in other assets and liabilities are assets held by the Company to fund deferred compensation plans and foreign exchange derivative contracts (Level 1), as well as interest rate derivatives (Level 2).
Level 1 commodity derivatives reflect the fair value of the exchanged-traded futures and options contracts that the Company holds, net of the cash collateral, that the Company has in its margin account.
The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach valuation technique. With the market approach, fair value is derived using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The Company’s net commodity derivatives primarily consist of futures or options contracts via regulated exchanges and contracts with producers or customers under which the future settlement date and bushels (or gallons in the case of ethanol contracts) of commodities to be delivered (primarily wheat, corn, soybeans and ethanol) are fixed and under which the price may or may not be fixed. Depending on the specifics of the individual contracts, the fair value is derived from the futures or options prices quoted on various exchanges for similar commodities and delivery dates as well as observable quotes for local basis adjustments (the difference, which is attributable to local market conditions, between the quoted futures price and the local cash price). Because “basis” for a particular commodity and location typically has multiple quoted prices from other agribusinesses in the same geographical vicinity and is used as a common pricing mechanism in the agribusiness industry, the Company has concluded that “basis” is typically a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to our commodity derivatives, depending on the specific commodity. Although nonperformance risk, both of the Company and the counterparty, is present in each of these commodity contracts and is a component of the estimated fair values, based on the Company’s historical experience with its producers and customers and the Company’s knowledge of their businesses, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a significant input to fair value for these commodity contracts.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 20
These fair value disclosures exclude RMI which consists of agricultural commodity inventories measured at net realizable value. The net realizable value used to measure the Company’s agricultural commodity inventories is the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. This valuation would generally be considered Level 2. The amount of RMI is disclosed in Note 2. Changes in the net realizable value of commodity inventories are recognized as a component of cost of sales and merchandising revenues.
Provisionally priced contract liabilities are those for which the Company has taken ownership and possession of grain, but the final purchase price has not been established. In the case of payables where the unpriced portion of the contract is limited to the futures price of the underlying commodity or the Company has delivered provisionally priced grain and a subsequent payable or receivable is set up for any future changes in the grain price, quoted exchange prices are used and the liability is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For all other unpriced contracts which include variable futures and basis components, the amounts recorded for delayed price contracts are determined on the basis of local grain market prices at the balance sheet date and, as such, are deemed to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible preferred securities are interests in several early-stage enterprises that may be in various forms, such as convertible debt or preferred equity securities.
A reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the Company’s fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs is as follows:

(c) The Company recognized impairment charges on certain Trade assets and measured the fair value using Level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the assets was determined using prior transactions in the local market and a recent sale of comparable Trade group assets held by the Company.
There were no non-recurring fair value measurements as of June 30, 2021.
The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying value as they are close to maturity.

12. Segment Information
The Company’s operations include three reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered as well as the structure of management. The Trade business includes commodity merchandising and the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities. The Renewables business produces ethanol and co-products through its five co-owned and fully consolidated ethanol production facilities as well as purchases and sells ethanol and ethanol co-products. The Plant Nutrient business manufactures and distributes agricultural inputs, primarily fertilizer, to dealers and farmers, along with turf care and corncob-based products. The Other category includes other corporate level costs not attributable to an operating segment and intercompany eliminations between the segments. See Note 14 for details of the divestiture of the Rail segment.
The segment information below includes the allocation of expenses shared by one or more operating segments. Although management believes such allocations are reasonable, the operating information does not necessarily reflect how such data might appear if the segments were operated as separate businesses. The Company does not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total revenues.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation activities
The Company is party to litigation, or threats thereof, both as defendant and plaintiff with some regularity, although individual cases that are material in size occur infrequently. As a defendant, the Company establishes reserves for claimed amounts that are considered probable and capable of estimation. If those cases are resolved for lesser amounts, the excess reserves are taken into income and, conversely, if those cases are resolved for larger than the amount the Company has accrued, the Company records additional expense. The Company believes it is unlikely that the results of its current legal proceedings for which it is the defendant, even if unfavorable, will be material. As a plaintiff, amounts that are collected can also result in sudden, non-recurring income.
Litigation results depend upon a variety of factors, including the availability of evidence, the credibility of witnesses, the performance of counsel, the state of the law, and the impressions of judges and jurors, any of which can be critical in importance, yet difficult, if not impossible, to predict. Consequently, cases currently pending, or future matters, may result in unexpected, and non-recurring losses, or income, from time to time. Finally, litigation results are often subject to judicial reconsideration, appeal and further negotiation by the parties, and as a result, the final impact of a particular judicial decision may be unknown for some time or may result in continued reserves to account for the potential of such post-verdict actions.
Specifically, the Company is party to a non-regulatory litigation claim, which is in response to penalties and fines paid to regulatory entities by a previously unconsolidated subsidiary in 2018 for the settlement of matters which focused on certain trading activity. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against the suit, the ultimate resolution of the matter could result in a loss in excess of the amount accrued. Given the status of the claim, the Company does not believe the excess, net of the acquisition-related indemnity, is material.
The Andersons Marathon Holdings LLC ("TAMH") received a Pre-Filing Negotiation Offer from the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("U.S. EPA") regarding the ethanol facilities owned by TAMH. The Company owns 50.1 % of TAMH, which is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The U.S. EPA investigated alleged recordkeeping and reporting violations under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. The Company settled this matter with the U.S. EPA for approximately $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2022.

14. Discontinued Operations
On August 16, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement under which the Company sold the assets of the Company’s Rail Leasing business for a cash purchase price of approximately $543.1 million. In conjunction with the sale of the Rail Leasing business, the Company announced its intent to divest the remaining pieces of the Rail Leasing business and the Rail Repair business. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Rail Repair business and divested substantially all of the remaining leases under the Rail Leasing business.
Starting in the third quarter of 2021, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our Rail business were classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The table below summarizes the results of the Rail Leasing business and the Rail Repair business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 which are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements which relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effects on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic and the pace of recovery from the pandemic, economic and political conditions, globally and in the markets we serve including the ongoing economic impacts from the conflict in Ukraine, fluctuations in cost and availability of commodities, weather and agricultural conditions, governmental regulations, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and the unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. The reader is urged to carefully consider these risks and others, including those risk factors listed under Item 1A of the 2021 Form 10-K and under Item 1A in this report. In some cases, the reader can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These forward-looking statements relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation, other than any imposed by law, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, as described in our 2021 Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the second quarter of 2022.
Executive Overview
Our operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Trade, Renewables and Plant Nutrient. Each of these segments is generally based on the nature of products and services offered and aligns with the management structure. Due to the Rail segment being presented as discontinued operations, the Company has excluded Rail from the following discussions of financial condition and results of operations.
The agricultural commodity-based business is one in which changes in selling prices generally move in relationship to changes in purchase prices. Therefore, increases or decreases in prices of the agricultural commodities that the business deals in will have a relatively equal impact on Sales and merchandising revenues and Cost of sales and merchandising revenues and a much less significant impact on Gross profit. As a result, changes in Sales and merchandising revenues between periods may not necessarily be indicative of the overall performance of the business and greater emphasis should be placed on changes in Gross profit.
The Company has considered the potential impact that the book value of the Company’s total shareholders’ equity briefly exceeded the Company’s market capitalization during the quarter for impairment indicators. Management ultimately concluded that an impairment triggering event had not occurred. The Company believes that the share price is not an accurate reflection of its current value as conditions are currently strong in the agriculture space with a positive long-term outlook. Management believes that the market’s impact on the Company’s equity value does not actually reflect the impact of these external factors on the Company. As a result of prior period tests, reviews of current operating results and other relevant market factors, the Company concluded that no impairment trigger existed as of June 30, 2022.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 28
Trade
The Trade segment’s second quarter operating results improved from the prior year as the segment entered the quarter with good ownership positions and, as expected, benefited from basis improvements. Wheat ownership in our grain terminal assets is now earning space income and we had very strong results from our Midwest truck grain merchandising business. Our food and specialty ingredients business also delivered strong results in the quarter, particularly in our UK subsidiary, Feed Factors.
Agricultural inventories on hand were 107.0 million and 85.8 million bushels at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. These bushels consist of inventory held at company-owned or leased facilities, transload inventory, in-transit inventory, and third-party held inventory. Total Trade storage space capacity at company-owned or leased facilities, including temporary pile storage, was approximately 184 million bushels at June 30, 2022 compared to 202 million bushels at June 30, 2021.
Current crop conditions vary by geography, but despite initial delays in planting, crop conditions are good in our key draw areas. Continued merchandising opportunities and strong elevation margins are also expected to continue through the remainder of the year as global stocks are not projected to recover quickly from the recent worldwide production shortfalls.
Renewables
The Renewables segment's second quarter operating results increased from the prior year due to higher production margins and yields. Also contributing to the increased results was $24.4 million of positive mark-to-market impact; nearly $18 million of which are reversals of prior losses. This compared to positive mark-to-market impacts of $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The ethanol facilities received $17.6 million of USDA Biofuels Producer COVID relief funds, of which, $8.9 million is included in pre-tax income attributable to the Company.
Higher export demand has helped keep ethanol prices firm, despite lower than anticipated seasonal domestic demand being impacted by the overall high gasoline prices. High corn costs for ethanol production in the western US may negatively impact ethanol production there, while the Company's eastern corn belt production facilities are better positioned for corn supply.
Ethanol and related co-products volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

* DDG tons shipped converts wet tons to a dry ton equivalent amount.
Plant Nutrient
The Plant Nutrient segment's second quarter operating results increased from the prior period. Tons sold across all product lines were down period over period, however, the lower volumes were more than offset by significant margin increases from well-positioned inventory. The most significant margin improvements came from the Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids product lines. While we have seen some lowering of base nutrient prices, continued strong global demand and disruption should keep prices higher than historical averages. Strong farm income may drive purchasing decisions while overall price levels could cause customers to delay fertilizer purchases.
Storage capacity at our Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids facilities, including leased storage, was approximately 448 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 511 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2022, which is similar to the prior year.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 29
Tons of product sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

In the table above, Ag Supply Chain represents facilities principally engaged in the wholesale distribution and retail sale and application of primary agricultural nutrients such as bulk nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Specialty Liquid locations produce and sell a variety of low-salt liquid starter fertilizers, micronutrients for agricultural use, and specialty products for use in various industrial processes. Engineered Granules include a variety of corncob-based products and facilities that primarily manufacture granulated dry products for use in specialty turf and agricultural applications.
Other
Our “Other” activities include corporate income and expense and cost for functions that provide support and services to the operating segments. The results include expenses and benefits not allocated to the operating segments and other elimination and consolidation adjustments.

The Company uses Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Company from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Management believes that Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Company from continuing operations is a useful measure of the Company’s performance because it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations allowing evaluation of underlying business performance and period-to-period comparability. This measure is not intended to replace or be an alternative to Income (loss) before income taxes from continuing operations, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 31
Trade
Operating results for the Trade segment increased by $9.9 million compared to the results of the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $799.9 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $775.7 million for a favorable net gross profit impact of $24.2 million. The increase to sales and cost of sales is the result of increased commodity prices and volumes. Much of the volume increase is related to the opening of the international merchandising office in the second half of prior year. The increase in gross profit was driven by a strong performance in our domestic assets, particularly around our core footprint in the eastern grain belt, along with well-positioned inventory in our in our feed ingredients business that led to strong margins.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $1.5 million. The increase from the prior year is primarily related to higher labor costs as a result of new locations opened in the second half of 2021.
Interest expense increased by $5.8 million due to both higher borrowings and interest rates on the Company's short-term line of credit compared to the prior year.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased by $6.9 million mainly as a result of an impairment of one of the Company's equity method investments of approximately $4.5 million.
Renewables
Operating results for the Renewables segment increased by $22.4 million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $266.0 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $240.9 million compared to prior year results. As a result, gross profit increased by $25.2 million compared to 2021 results. Most of the increase to sales and cost of sales is the result of increased corn and ethanol commodity prices. The increase to gross profit in the current period results reflect stronger production margins and yields. Included in pre-tax income in the quarter is $24.4 million of positive mark-to-market impact of which nearly $18 million are reversals of prior mark-to-market losses. This compared to positive mark-to-market impacts of $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $2.0 million primarily due to higher labor and utility costs from the prior year.
Other income increased by $18.5 million, and almost all of the increase from the prior year was a result of the proceeds received as a part of the USDA Biofuel Producer Relief Program that was enacted as a part of the CARES Act, of which approximately half of these proceeds were attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
Plant Nutrient
Operating results for the Plant Nutrient segment increased by $14.3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $148.9 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $130.8 million resulting in an $18.1 million increase in gross profit. The increase in gross profit was driven by very strong margins across the Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids product lines due to strong grower income and well-positioned fertilizer inventory despite lower volumes sold.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $3.0 million due to increased labor costs from the prior year.
Interest expense increased by $0.8 million due to higher interest rates and borrowings.
Other
Operating results for the quarter declined by $1.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating losses was primarily driven by higher operating, administrative and general expenses due to increased variable incentive-based compensation as a result of improved company-wide performance year-over-year.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 32
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $15.8 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 13.3% on income before taxes from continuing operations of $118.2 million. The difference between the 13.3% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $9.7 million at an effective tax rate of 18.0%. The difference between the 18.0% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% is due to the tax impact of certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local taxes and nondeductible compensation.

Trade
Operating results for the Trade segment were consistent with the same period of prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $1,902.1 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $1,882.8 million for an increased gross profit impact of $19.2 million. Most of the increase to sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues was a result of increased commodity prices and volumes. Much of the volume increase is related to the opening of the international merchandising office in the second half of prior year. The increase in gross profit was driven by a strong elevation margins in our domestic assets, along with well-positioned inventories in our feed ingredients business that led to strong margins. These factors were partially offset by the exceptional propane merchandising results from the unseasonably frigid weather experienced by the central U.S. in the first quarter of the prior year that did not recur in the current period.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $4.1 million. The increase from the prior year is primarily related to higher labor costs as a result of new locations opened in the second half of 2021.
Interest expense increased by $7.0 million due to both higher borrowings and interest rates on the Company's short-term line of credit compared to the prior year.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 34
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased by $8.9 million mainly as a result of an impairment of one of the Company's equity method investments of approximately $4.5 million combined with favorable results from the same equity method investment in the prior year that didn't recur in 2022.
Renewables
Operating results for Renewables increased by $25.0 million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $506.3 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $474.4 million compared to prior year. As a result, gross profit increased by $31.9 million compared to prior year. The vast majority of the increase to sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues is the result of increased commodity prices. The net increase to gross profit in the current period results reflect improved board crush margins and yields across the ethanol plants, improved co-product values and strong merchandising margins. Unrealized mark-to-market adjustments improved approximately $3.7 million from the prior year.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $3.2 million primarily due to higher labor and utility costs from the prior year.
Other income increased by $17.6 million and almost all of the increase from the prior year was a result of the proceeds received as a part of the USDA Biofuel Producer Relief Program that was enacted as a part of the CARES Act, of which approximately half of these proceeds were attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
Plant Nutrient
Operating results for the Plant Nutrient segment increased by $16.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased $189.7 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased by $167.2 million resulting in increased gross profit of $22.4 million. Both sales and merchandising revenues and cost of sales and merchandising revenues were higher due to higher fertilizer prices from the prior year. Gross profit improved year-over-year due to strong margins from well-positioned inventory in a tight supply market. The most significant margin improvements came from Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids product lines.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $4.9 million due to increased labor costs from the prior year.
Interest expense increased by $1.2 million due to higher interest rates and borrowings.
Other
Operating results declined by $1.8 million from the same period last year. The decrease in other income, net from the prior year was due to interest received on a tax refund as a result of the CARES Act that did not recur in current year.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $19.9 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 15.4% on income before taxes from continuing operations of $128.8 million. The difference between the 15.4% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% is primarily attributable to the tax impact of non-controlling interest as well as certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local income taxes and nondeductible compensation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $14.0 million at an effective tax rate of 20.7%. The difference between the 20.7% effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due to the tax impact of certain discrete derivatives and hedging activities offset by state and local taxes and nondeductible compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
At June 30, 2022, the Company had working capital from continuing operations of $984.0 million, an increase of $443.6 million from the prior year. This increase was attributable to changes in the following components of current assets from continuing operations and current liabilities from continuing operations:

Current assets from continuing operations as of June 30, 2022 increased $1,348.5 million in comparison to those as of June 30, 2021. This increase was noted in mainly accounts receivable, inventories and current commodity derivative assets. The increases in those accounts can largely be attributed to the significant increases in the prices of agricultural commodities, including fertilizer, that the Company transacts in the ordinary course of business from the same period of the prior year. The Company also opened an international merchandising office in the third quarter of the prior year which is contributing to the increase in working capital as there is a substantial volume of commodities held in that business in 2022.
Current liabilities from continuing operations increased $904.9 million across all financial statement line items when compared to the prior year. The increase in short-term debt is the result of higher working capital needs and driven by the significant increase in agricultural commodity prices from the prior year. The increase in trade and other payables, customer prepayments and deferred revenue, and current commodity derivative liabilities are also the result of increasing agricultural commodity prices.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Six Months Ended | ||||||||||||||
| (in thousands) | June 30, 2022 | June 30, 2021 | ||||||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (721,799) | $ | (245,494) | ||||||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (30,094) | (23,474) | ||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 622,113 | 267,550 | ||||||||||||
Operating Activities
Our operating activities used cash of $721.8 million and $245.5 million in the first six months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cash used was primarily due to the increased working capital needs, as discussed above, driven by significant increases in agricultural commodity prices and the new international merchandising locations being included in the current year. When the changes in operating assets and liabilities are removed, cash provided by operating activities was slightly lower than prior year due to the timing of tax refunds and credits in the first quarter of 2021.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 36
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $30.1 million through the first six months of 2022 compared to cash used of $23.5 million in the prior period. The increase from the prior period was a result of a modest increase in capital spending on continuing operations from the prior year.
We expect to invest approximately $100 million in property, plant and equipment in 2022 related to continuing operations.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $622.1 million and $267.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase from the prior year was due to the significant increase in agricultural commodity prices from the prior period and the related need for short-term borrowings. The Company's short-term debt balance of $1,161.4 million is closely aligned to the balance of readily marketable inventories of $1,214.4 million as of June 30, 2022.
The Company is party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of $2,501.7 million in borrowing capacity. Of the total capacity, $395.7 million is non-recourse to the Company. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $1,315.2 million available for borrowing with $277.5 million of that total being non-recourse to the Company.
The Company paid $12.2 million in dividends in the first six months of 2022 compared to $11.7 million in the prior period. The Company paid dividends of $0.180 and $0.175 per common share in January and April of 2022 and 2021, respectively. On June 16, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.180 per common share payable on July 22, 2022 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2022.
Because the Company is a significant borrower of short-term debt in peak seasons and the majority of this is variable rate debt, increases in interest rates could have a significant impact on our profitability. In addition, periods of high grain prices and/or unfavorable market conditions could require us to make additional margin deposits on our exchange traded futures contracts. Conversely, in periods of declining prices, the Company could receive a return of cash.
Management believes our sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund our operations, capital expenditures and service our indebtedness.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding of $5.1 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For further information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no material changes in market risk, specifically commodity and interest rate risk during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of June 30, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2022, identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Andersons, Inc. | Q2 2022 Form 10-Q | 38
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Except as described in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss greater than a recorded accrual, concerning loss contingencies for asserted legal and other claims.
The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2021 Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as presented below, there were no other significant changes in the Company’s risk factors during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
The Company faces risks related to international conflicts, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, that may adversely impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In late February of 2022, Russia initiated a military operation in Ukraine. The Black Sea region is a key international grain and fertilizer export market and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could continue to disrupt supply and logistics, cause volatility in prices, and impact global margins due to increased commodity, energy, and input costs. While the Company does not have any assets or employees located in the Black Sea region, it does engage in business with parties operating in the region, including some grain originations directly from Ukrainian producers. The conflict could negatively affect our ability to secure product in this region and the credit worthiness of agricultural producers with which we do business. The Company currently does not purchase fertilizer directly from this region, however, the impact to the global fertilizer supply could put the Company’s ability to secure product at risk over time.
To the extent the conflict between Russia and Ukraine adversely affects our business, it may also have the effect of heightening other risks disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. However, due to the continually evolving nature of the conflict, the potential impact that the conflict could have on such risk factors, and others that cannot yet be identified, remains uncertain. The Company continues to monitor the conflict and assess alternatives to mitigate these risks.
