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”), its 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 non-controlling interest. 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.
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, 2020
. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
March 31, 2019
has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at
December 31, 2019
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, 2019
(the “2019 Form 10-K”).
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in November 2018, April 2019 and May 2019 with ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05,
respectively. This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. This includes allowances for trade receivables. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective transition method. This ASU amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. The impact of adopting this new standard on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was not material.
Cloud Computing Software
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract
. This ASU reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard effective January 1, 2020 on the consolidated financial statements is not material.

Table of Contents
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
In March 2020, the FASB concluded its reference rate reform project and issued ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
. London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by all types of entities. At the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine LIBOR. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The optional amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company has elected to adopt ASU 2020-04 immediately for all optional expedients provided for contract modification accounting as permissible under the standard. The impact of executing the standard should the need arise will be disclosed, however, at this time there has been no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Guidance Issued Not Yet Effective
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
, which simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The provisions of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements is currently being assessed. At this time the Company does not plan to early adopt the standard.

Derivatives
The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Trade and Ethanol businesses have established “unhedged” position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract to lock in the price). 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 grain 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
March 31, 2020
,
December 31, 2019
and
March 31, 2019
, 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 noncurrent commodity derivative assets (or liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Interest Rate and Other Derivatives
The Company’s objectives in 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 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.
At
March 31, 2020
,
December 31, 2019
and

Revenue
Many of the Company’s revenues are generated from contracts that are outside the scope of ASC 606 and thus are accounted for under other accounting standards. Specifically, many of the Company's Trade and Ethanol sales contracts are derivatives under ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
and the Rail Group's leasing revenue is accounted for under ASC 842,

Contract balances
The balances of the Company’s contract liabilities were
$
65.8
million
and
$
28.5
million
as of
March 31, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, 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 is payments for primary and specialty nutrients received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. The primary and specialty business records contract liabilities for payments received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. Further, due to seasonality of this business, contract liabilities were built up in the first quarter of the year.

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
March 31, 2020
, the Company recorded an income tax
benefit
of
$
1.5
million
at an effective income tax rate of
2.8
%
. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate as the tax benefit from consolidated pre-tax losses is completely offset by the portion of losses owned by non-controlling interests that do not provide for a tax benefit. The
decrease
in effective tax rate for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020
as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to the tax expense generated from the current period loss before taxes at the estimated annual effective tax rate, offset by tax benefits from anticipated net operating loss carrybacks as result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and. Economic Security Act ("CARES") Act. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company recorded an income tax
benefit
of
$
5.4
million
at an effective income tax rate of
27.8
%
.
The
2020
effective tax rate can be affected by variances in the estimates and amounts of taxable income among the various states, entities and activity types, realization of tax credits, adjustments from resolution of tax matters under review, valuation allowances and the company’s assessment of its liability for uncertain tax positions. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was
$
25.4
million
as of
March 31, 2020
, and
$
0.6
million
for the period ended
March 31, 2019
. The unrecognized tax benefits of
$
25.4
million
include
$
21.7
million
recorded as a reduction of the deferred tax asset and refundable credits associated with the R&D Credits.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into U.S. federal law the CARES Act, which is aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families and businesses affected by the
Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
pandemic and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. In particular, under the CARES Act, (i) for taxable years beginning before 2021, net operating loss carryforwards and carrybacks may offset
100%
of taxable income, (ii) NOLs arising in 2018, 2019, and 2020 taxable years may be carried back to each of the preceding five years to generate a refund and (iii) for taxable years beginning in 2019 and 2020, the base for interest deductibility is increased from
30%
to
50%
of EBITDA. The Company has analyzed the impact of the CARES Act to determine the estimated impact on 2019 filing positions that could be carried back to prior tax years, and recorded a financial statement benefit of
$
6.6
million
. On April 17, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service issued Revenue Procedure 2020-25, allowing for companies to revoke an election out of bonus depreciation. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this additional guidance.

(d)
Included in other assets and liabilities are assets held by the Company to fund deferred compensation plans, ethanol risk management contracts, and foreign exchange derivative contracts (Level 1) and 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, we have 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.
21
Table of Contents
These fair value disclosures exclude physical grain 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 is disclosed in Note 2 Inventories. 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 we have 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 risk management contract liability allows related ethanol customers to effectively unprice the futures component of their inventory for a period of time, subjecting the bushels to market fluctuations. The Company records an asset or liability for the market value changes of the commodities over the life of the contracts based on quoted exchange prices and as such, the balance is deemed to be Level 1 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.

Segment Information
The Company’s operations include
four
reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered. The Trade business includes commodity merchandising and the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities. The Ethanol business produces ethanol 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. Rail operations include the leasing, marketing and fleet management of railcars and other assets, railcar repair and metal fabrication. The Other category includes other corporate level costs not attributable to an operating 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. Inter-segment sales are made at prices comparable to normal, unaffiliated customer sales. The Company does not have any customers who represent
10 percent
or more of total revenue.

Commitments and Contingencies
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.
The Company recorded a
$
5.0
million
reserve relating to an outstanding non-regulatory litigation claim, based upon preliminary settlement negotiations in the first quarter of 2019. The claim 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.
The estimated losses for all other outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible are not material.

Business Acquisition
On October 1, 2019, The Andersons entered into an agreement with Marathon to merge TAAE, TACE, TAME and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Andersons Denison Ethanol LLC into a new legal entity, The Andersons Marathon Holdings LLC. As a result of the merger, The Andersons and Marathon now own
50.1
%
and
49.9
%
of the equity in TAMH, respectively. Total consideration transferred by the Company to complete the acquisition of TAMH was
$
182.9
million
. The company transferred non-cash consideration of
$
7.3
million
and its equity values of the previously mentioned LLCs.
The purchase price allocation is preliminary, pending, finalization of deferred income taxes adjustments. A summarized preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

Goodwill
During the quarter the Company completed a reorganization of its organization and internal structure whereby the Company reorganized its operations between the Trade and Ethanol segments to enhance operating decisions and assessing performance. On January 1, 2020, the Company moved its Distillers Dried Grains ("DDG") business from the Trade to Ethanol segment. The reorganization resulted in the reassignment of goodwill to the affected reporting units using a relative fair value approach. As a result of the reassignment and allocation, the Company performed an interim review of the carrying value of goodwill at the Trade and Ethanol segments for possible impairment on both a pre and post-reorganization basis. No impairment of goodwill was indicated at the pre-reorganization reporting units.

(a) Reorganization related to move of the DDG business line from the Trade to Ethanol segment.
Due to the severe decline in ethanol prices, largely impacted by COVID-19 during the period, management determined that a triggering event occurred within the Ethanol segment. Accordingly, an interim impairment test was performed over the Ethanol group's goodwill as well as its other intangible and long-lived assets. Based on the results of the impairment test, the Ethanol segment did not record an impairment charge.
When performing our test for impairment, we measured each reporting unit's fair value using a combination of income and market approaches.
The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow analysis, incorporating the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. Significant estimates in the income approach include the following: discount rate, expected financial outlook and profitability of the reporting unit's business (all Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy). Discount rates use the weighted average cost of capital for companies within our peer group, adjusted for specific company risk premium factors.
27
Table of Contents
The market approach uses the "Guideline Company" method, which calculates the fair value of the reporting unit based on a comparison of the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded companies. Significant estimates in the market approach model include identifying similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment, assessing comparable multiples, as well as consideration of control premiums. The blended approach assigns an equal weighting to each approach. The blended fair value of both approaches is then compared to the carrying value, and to the extent that fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment exists. However, to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment is recorded.
The results of the goodwill impairment test within the Ethanol group supported the calculated fair value exceeding the carrying values by greater than 20%. However, as the fair value is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions, including interest rates and outlook for future volume and margins, general trends in the business and/or macro-economic factors could cause the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to fall below its carrying value.

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. The reader is urged to carefully consider these risks and others, including those risk factors listed under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
(“2019 Form 10-K”). 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 we believe 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
2019
Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the
first
quarter of
2020
.
Executive Overview
Our operations are organized, managed and classified into four reportable business segments: Trade, Ethanol, Plant Nutrient, and Rail. Each of these segments is generally based on the nature of products and services offered.
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 cost of sales and a much less significant impact on gross profit. As a result, changes in sales between periods may not necessarily be indicative of the overall performance of the business and more focus should be placed on changes in gross profit.
The Company has ethanol production, merchandising and goodwill assets within the Ethanol segment. Due to an adverse change within the industry, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred during the quarter for the asset group to be assessed for impairment. The asset group was determined to not be impaired in the first quarter, however, continuing adverse market conditions or alternative management decisions surrounding the future of these operations may result in future impairment considerations.
Further, the Company has considered the potential impact that the book value of the Company’s total shareholders’ equity exceeded the Company’s market capitalization for impairment indicators. Management ultimately concluded that, while the Company's shareholders equity exceeded the market capitalization for the period, an impairment triggering event had not occurred. The Company continues to believe that the share price is not an accurate reflection of its current value. While the adverse conditions are currently present and pervasive in the agriculture space during this time, the long-term outlook remains positive and we believe that the market’s impact on the Company’s equity value does not actually reflect the impact of these external factors on the Company. Further, due to internal reorganizations within the Plant Nutrient, Ethanol and Trade segments, certain portions of goodwill have been subject to a quantitative goodwill assessment during the period which resulted in no impairment charges. As a result of these tests, the Company concluded that no impairment existed as of
March 31, 2020
.
Recent Developments
For the first quarter of 2020, the global emergence of the novel strain of COVID-19 had a significant impact to the global economy, including several industries in which The Andersons operates. The government-induced stay-at-home orders reduced demand for gasoline, ethanol and corn, primarily impacting the Ethanol and Trade Groups.
As previously announced the Company has idled its ethanol plants for extended maintenance shutdowns in an effort to maintain the Company's ethanol plants, protect employees and conserve cash
. The
future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business are highly uncertain at this time.
29
Table of Contents
The Company is a critical infrastructure industry as that term has been defined by The United States Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, in its March 19, 2020 Memorandum.
As COVID-19 continues to spread, the Company is currently conducting business as usual to the greatest extent possible in the current circumstances. The Company is taking a variety of measures to ensure the availability of its services throughout our network, promote the safety and security of our employees, and support the communities in which we operate. Certain modifications the Company has made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic include: implementing a period of working at home for all non-essential support staff; restricting employee business travel; strengthening clean workplace practices; reinforcing socially responsible sick leave recommendations; limiting visitor and third-party access to Company facilities; launching internal COVID-19 resources for employees; creating a pandemic response team comprised of employees and members of senior management; encouraging telephonic and video conference-based meetings along with other hygiene and social distancing practices recommended by health authorities including Health Canada, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World Health Organization; and supplementing employment insurance payments and maintaining health benefit coverage of employees through the pandemic. The Company is responding to this crisis through measures designed to protect our workforce and preventing disruptions to the Company's operations within the North American agricultural supply chain. The Andersons service is deemed essential as part of the agricultural industry.
As previously announced, the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, held on May 8, 2020, will be conducted via a virtual-only format by live webcast online for the first time. We have observed many other companies, taking precautionary and preemptive actions to address the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies may take further actions that alter their normal business operations. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that could materially alter our business operations as may be required or recommended by federal, provincial, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, shareholders, partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
Additional information concerning the impact COVID-19 may have to our future business and results of operations is provided in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Trade Group
The Trade Group’s results in the
first
quarter reflect lower income as the Group recorded a significant loss on its corn position during the quarter as basis depreciated due to the sharp reduction in ethanol demand along with significant addition to credit reserves for customers in the ethanol market. The food and specialty ingredients businesses enjoyed a strong quarter, more than doubling last year's first quarter results partially offsetting the loss from corn basis depreciation and credit reserves
.
Agricultural inventories on hand at
March 31, 2020
were
128.8 million
bushels, of which
3.9 million
bushels were stored for others. These amounts compare to
136.8 million
bushels on hand at
March 31, 2019
, of which
1.9 million
bushels were stored for others. Total Trade storage capacity, including temporary pile storage, was approximately
205 million
bushels at
March 31, 2020
compared to
218 million
bushels at
March 31, 2019
.
The group expects continued pressure on the profitability of its Eastern assets until the 2020 corn crop is harvested. However, the group believes an expected large corn crop in 2020 should help create increased space income beginning later this year and into 2021.
Ethanol Group
The Ethanol Group's
first
quarter results were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as the lack of demand created a surplus of supply of both oil and ethanol driving margins negative during the quarter. The Ethanol Group expects these headwinds to continue as long as the lack of demand from COVID-19 continues.

Total ethanol, DDG, and corn oil production by the unconsolidated LLCs for the first quarter of 2019 is actually higher than disclosed above. However, the portion of this volume that was sold from the unconsolidated LLCs directly to their customers for the first quarter of 2019 is excluded here.
Plant Nutrient Group
The Plant Nutrient Group's
first
quarter results were an improvement from the prior period, primarily as a result of the Engineered Granules business, which was driven by lower of cost of sales for its cob-based products. The Ag Supply Chain and Specialty Liquids businesses were comparable to the prior year. While volumes were up, due to product mix, overall margin per ton was lower overall for the full quarter, but improved planting began in the second half of March.
Storage capacity at our wholesale nutrient and farm center facilities, including leased storage, was approximately
486 thousand
tons for dry nutrients and approximately
515 thousand
tons for liquid nutrients at
March 31, 2020
and March 31, 2019, respectively.
As of January 1, 2020, the group reorganized into three divisions: Ag Supply Chain, which includes wholesale distribution centers and retail farm centers; Specialty Liquids, which includes manufactured liquid products intended for agricultural and industrial uses; and Engineered Granules, which includes granular products for turf and agricultural uses, contract manufacturing and cob products. Prior period amounts below were recast to reflect this change.

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 facilities primarily manufacture granulated dry products for use in specialty turf and agricultural applications and a variety of corncob-based products
The group's near-term outlook is positive, as weather has been favorable for planting and a large corn crop is anticipated. However, a significant decrease in corn prices may cause some planting to shift from corn to beans and may lessen growers' and other customers' ability to buy the group's products.

Table of Contents
Rail Group
The Rail Group results declined mainly due to fewer car sales than the prior year. Leasing income slightly decreased from the prior year as the group faced headwinds in the sand and ethanol markets as well as lower lease renewal rates. Average utilization rates decreased from
95.7 percent
in the
first
quarter of
2019
to
89.0 percent
in the
first
quarter of
2020
as the group had fewer cars on lease from the sand and ethanol market headwinds. Rail Group assets under management (owned, leased or managed for financial institutions in non-recourse arrangements) at
March 31, 2020
were
24,416
compared to
23,550
at
March 31, 2019
.
The group expects continued pressure on utilization and lease rates, as the COVID pandemic has driven railcar loadings 20 percent lower year over year for several weeks running. This condition will also likely decrease demand for contract railcar repairs.

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, including a portion of our ERP project, and other elimination and consolidation adjustments.

Trade Group
Operating results for the Trade Group
increased
by
$7.9
million compared to the results of the same period last year, however prior year results included $11.6 million of transaction-related expenses. Sales and merchandising revenues
decreased
by
$159.6
million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues
decreased
$154.7
million for an unfavorable net gross profit impact of
$4.9
million. This decrease was primarily driven by the depreciation of corn basis and the decreased oil demand creating headwinds in the Company's frac sand operations.
Operating, administrative and general expenses
decreased
by
$3.2
million. The decrease from the prior year is primarily related to transaction expenses that did not recur in 2020. This decrease was partially offset by approximately
$3.4 million
of additional bad debt reserves for customers that were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interest expense
decreased
$3.6
million due to the Company paying down debt and lower group borrowings on the Company's short-term line of credit compared to the prior year. Prior year results also include a $0.6 million write-off of deferred financing fees as part of its new credit facility.
Other income
increased
by
$5.8
million as there were approximately
$2.0 million
worth of insurance settlements in the current year along with an initial remeasurement loss of
$3.5 million
on the Company's pre-existing equity method investment in LTG that didn't recur in the current year.
Ethanol Group
Operating results for the Ethanol Group
declined
$27.0
million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues
increased
$43.9
million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased
$78.7
million compared to 2019 results, primarily attributable to the TAMH merger. Gross profit
decreased
by $
34.8
million compared to 2019 results from the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to an over saturation of the supply of oil and a negative margin environment for the ethanol industry.
Operating, administrative and general expenses
increased
$1.1
million primarily due to an increase in labor and benefits, most of which was from the TAMH merger.
Interest expense
increased
$3.1 million
due to the inclusion of interest expense related to the consolidation of TAMH and due to ELEMENT's ability to capitalize interest related to the construction of the ELEMENT facility in the prior year.
Equity in earnings of affiliates
decreased
$1.7 million
as a result of the former unconsolidated ethanol LLCs being merged into the consolidated entity of TAMH.

Plant Nutrient Group
Operating results for the Plant Nutrient Group
increased
by
$2.7
million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues
decreased
$3.6
million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues
decreased
by
$3.0
million resulting in
decreased
gross profit of
$0.6
. This was driven by weaker margins in Ag Supply Chain sales when compared to the favorable positions the Company had in the same period of the prior year.
Operating, administrative and general expenses
decreased
$3.4 million
due to more efficient production compared to the prior year.
Interest expense
decreased
$0.5
million from lower interest rates compared to the prior year.
Rail Group
Operating results
declined
$3.3
million from the same period last year while sales and merchandising revenues
decreased
$4.3
million. This decrease was mainly driven by a
$3.7 million
decrease in leasing revenues as a result of lower cars on lease and lower average lease rates from the prior year. Cost of sales and merchandising
increased
$1.9
million compared to the prior year due to higher storage costs on more idle cars and higher maintenance and depreciation expenses from the larger fleet from the prior year. As a result, gross profit
decreased
$6.2
million compared to the period year.
Operating, administrative and general expenses
decreased
$2.9
million driven by more efficient labor costs within the repair business.
Interest expense
increased
$
0.8
million due to higher debt balances.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended
March 31, 2020
, the Company recorded an income tax
benefit
of
$1.5 million
at an effective rate of
2.8%
. For the three months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company recorded an income tax
benefit
of
$5.4 million
at an effective tax rate of
27.8%
. The decrease in effective tax rate for the three months ended
March 31, 2020
as compared to the same period last year primarily attributed to nondeductible losses related to our noncontrolling interests within the Ethanol group. These losses were offset by NOL carryback tax savings opportunities as provided by the CARES act.

Operating Activities
Our operating activities
used
cash of
$228.4 million
and
$122.0 million
in the first
three
months of
2020
and
2019
, respectively. The increase in cash
used
was primarily due to a result of net losses incurred as well as the seasonality in the use of cash. Cash spend is typically high in the first quarter as the Company prepares for the spring planting season.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of
$30.4 million
through the first
three
months of
2020
compared to cash used of
$205.8
million in the prior year. The decrease from the prior year was a result of the acquisition of LTG and decreased capital spending.
In
2020
, we expect to spend up to a total of approximately
$31.0 million
for the purchase of railcars and related leases and capitalized modifications of railcars. Total capital spending on property, plant and equipment in our base business excluding rail leasing activity, but inclusive of information technology spending is expected to be approximately
$87.0 million
.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of
$223.6 million
and
$336.1 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019
, respectively. This decrease from the prior year was largely due to a decrease in proceeds as new debt was issued in the prior year to finance the LTG acquisition. This decrease in long term debt proceeds was partially offset by an increase in short-term borrowing used to finance working capital.

Table of Contents
We are party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of
$1,684.0 million
in borrowings. Of the total capacity,
$491.0 million
is non-recourse to the Company. As of
March 31, 2020
, the Company had
$1,006.4 million
available for borrowing with
$145.4 million
of that total being non-recourse to the Company.
We paid
$5.7 million
in dividends in the first
three
months of
2020
compared to
$5.5 million
in the prior year. The Company paid
$0.175
per common share for the dividends paid in January of 2020 and
$0.17
per common share for the dividends paid in January of 2019. On
February 21, 2020
we declared a cash dividend of
$0.175
per common share payable on
April 22, 2020
to shareholders of record on
April 1, 2020
.
Certain of our long-term borrowings include covenants that, among other things, impose minimum levels of equity and limitations on additional debt. We are in compliance with all such covenants as of
March 31, 2020
. In addition, certain of our long-term borrowings are collateralized by first mortgages on various facilities or are collateralized by railcar assets. Our non-recourse long-term debt is collateralized by ethanol plant assets and railcar assets.
Because we are 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. However, much of this risk is mitigated by hedging instruments that are in place. 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, we could receive a return of cash.
While the effects of the coronavirus pandemic are expected to have a negative impact on operating cash flows, we believe our sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund our operations, capital expenditures and service our indebtedness.
At
March 31, 2020
, we had standby letters of credit outstanding of
$76.3 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, 2019
. There were no material changes in market risk, specifically commodity and interest rate risk during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020
.
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
March 31, 2020
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
first
quarter of
2020
, which were 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. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of our workforce began working remotely in March 2020. These changes to the working environment did not have a material effect on our internal controls over financial reporting during the most recent quarter.

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. The Company settled certain matters during the
first
quarter of
2020
that did not individually or in the aggregate have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or operating results.
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
2019
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. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the
2019
Form 10-K with the exception of those disclosed below.
The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect the Company's business and operating results
The future impacts of the global emergence of the novel strain of Coronavirus and the disease it causes on the Company's business or operating and financial results are unpredictable and cannot be identified with certainty at this time. The widespread health crisis has adversely affected the global economy and resulted in a widespread economic downturn which could adversely impact demand for our services. Such interruptions could include fluctuations to commodity prices, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to transport freight in the ordinary course, temporary closures of facilities and ports, or the facilities and ports of our customers, decreased demand for our products, and/or changes to export/import restrictions. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 may impact the seasonal trends that typically characterize our revenues and operating income. There is no assurance that the outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on our business or results of operations. Further, our operations could be negatively affected if a significant number of our employees are unable to perform their normal duties because of contracting COVID-19 or based on further direction from governments, public health authorities or regulatory agencies. The extent of the impact, if any, will depend on developments beyond our control, including actions taken by governments, financial institutions, monetary policy authorities, and public health authorities to contain and respond to public health concerns and general economic conditions as a result of the pandemic.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required or recommended by federal, provincial, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, shareholders and other stakeholders. We cannot be certain of potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business or operating and financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure
We are committed to protecting the occupational health and well-being of each of our employees. Safety is one of our core values and we strive to ensure that safety is the first priority for all employees. Our internal objective is to achieve zero injuries and incidents across the Company by focusing on proactively identifying needed prevention activities, establishing standards and evaluating performance to mitigate any potential loss to people, equipment, production and the environment. We have implemented employee training that is geared toward maintaining a high level of awareness and knowledge of safety and health issues in the work environment. We believe that through these policies we have developed an effective safety management system.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, each operator of a coal or other mine is required to include certain mine safety results within its periodic reports filed with the SEC. As required by the reporting requirements included in §1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, the required mine safety results regarding certain mining safety and health matters for each of our mine locations that are covered under the scope of the Dodd-Frank Act are included in Exhibit 95.1 of Item 6.
