Green Plains reports record ethanol production in Q2 2016
In Nebraska, Green Plains said that it recorded income of $8.2M for Q2 2016, compared with net income of $7.8M for Q2 2015. Revenues were $887.7M for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $744.5M for the same period last year.
For Q2, Green Plains produced 274.3 million gallons of ethanol compared with 238.7 million gallons for the same period in 2015. The consolidated ethanol crush margin was $45.3 million, or $0.17 per gallon, for the second quarter of 2016 compared with $46.5 million, or $0.20 per gallon, for the same period in 2015. The consolidated ethanol crush margin is the ethanol production segment’s operating income before depreciation and amortization, which includes corn oil production, plus intercompany storage, transportation and other fees, net of related expenses.
Revenues were $1.6 billion for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, compared with $1.5 billion for the same period in 2015. Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, was $(15.9) million, or $(0.42) per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in 2015.
“Ethanol demand continues to grow, supported by a 3% growth in domestic ethanol consumption and a 6% increase in U.S. ethanol exports year-to-date,” commented Becker. “We continue to execute on our core strategy of capital allocation with an intense focus on growing our company, including both organic and acquisitive opportunities.
For Q2, consolidated revenues increased $143.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared with the same period in 2015. Revenues from ethanol, corn oil and grain sales increased $103.4 million, $21.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively. Ethanol revenues were affected by increased volumes sold, partially offset by lower average realized prices. Corn oil revenues and grain revenues were impacted by increased volumes sold.
