For Immediate Release

REX AMERICAN RESOURCES REPORTS RECORD FOURTH QUARTER
DILUTED EPS OF $1.76 AND RECORD FULL YEAR DILUTED EPS OF $3.08

- Fiscal 2011 Net Income Rises to $28.3 Million –

Dayton, Ohio, (March 13, 2012) — REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2011 fourth quarter (“Q4 ‘11”) and twelve months ended January 31, 2012. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET:

 

 

Conference Call:

212/231-2931

Webcast / Replay URL:

www.rexamerican.com/Corp/Page4.aspx

 

The webcast will be available for replay for 30 days

Net income attributable to REX shareholders in Q4 ‘11 was $14.8 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in Q4 ‘10. Q4 ‘11 income from continuing operations net of tax attributable to REX shareholders was $14.4 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $5.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in Q4 ‘10. The Q4 ‘11 results reflect a one-time pre-tax benefit of $3.5 million ($2.1 million, after tax), or approximately $0.25 per diluted share (after-tax) to account for the net bargain purchase gain associated with REX’s November 1, 2011 acquisition of an additional approximate 50% equity ownership interest in NuGen Energy, LLC, (“NuGen”) which raised its equity ownership in the entity to approximately 98%. The Q4 ‘10 results were impacted by the deconsolidation of Levelland Hockley County Ethanol (“LHCE”) which resulted in a one-time pre-tax charge of $18.4 million ($11.2 million, after tax), or approximately $1.19 per diluted share (after-tax) in the quarter ended January 31, 2011. REX recorded income from discontinued operations of $0.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share for both the Q4 ‘11 and Q4 ‘10 periods. Per share results in Q4 ‘11 and Q4 ‘10 are based on 8,398,000 and 9,438,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

REX’s Q4 ‘11 results primarily reflect its alternative energy segment interests in seven operating ethanol production facilities. The operations of One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen are consolidated while those of its five other operating plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates. REX’s Q4 ‘11 net sales and revenue rose 81.7% to $170.5 million, from $93.8 million in Q4 ‘10, primarily reflecting the consolidation of NuGen following REX’s acquisition of an additional 50% interest in the entity and increases in ethanol and distillers grains pricing.

REX recognizes results from its ethanol interests on a quarterly calendar basis, and as a result, REX’s Q4 includes results from ethanol operations for the period October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, with the exception of NuGen which is for the period October 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012.

REX American Resources Q4/FY11 Results, 3/13/12

page 2

Gross profit from REX’s consolidated operations rose 124.8% to $20.4 million in Q4 ‘11 from $9.1 million in Q4’ 10 primarily reflecting the consolidation of NuGen’s operations in the Company’s results and the deconsolidation of LHCE operations at year-end FY 2010. In Q4 ‘11, equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates declined 17.7% to $5.7 million from $6.9 million in Q4 ‘10 primarily due to REX’s 98% interest in NuGen now being consolidated which more than offset higher overall results from the Company’s unconsolidated ethanol production interests. Principally reflecting these items, REX’s Q4 ‘11 income from continuing operations before income taxes and non controlling interests was $25.1 million compared with a loss of $6.0 million in Q4 ‘10 (which was impacted by the $18.4 million charge related to the deconsolidation of LHCE).

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 net income rose to $28.3 million from $5.1 million while diluted EPS increased to $3.08 from $0.52.

 

 

 

Recent Developments

§

On November 1, 2011, REX acquired an additional approximate 50% equity ownership interest in NuGen raising its equity ownership in the entity to approximately 98%. REX acquired its additional interest in NuGen, settled its remaining contingent consideration liability (related to the July 2010 purchase of its initial 48% ownership interest in NuGen) for a total of $12.7 million, and made a $7.0 million capital contribution to NuGen to reduce long-term debt. As a result, REX began consolidating the plant’s results in its financial statements effective November 1, 2011.

 

In February 2012, NuGen repurchased shares which had the effect of raising REX’s equity ownership in the facility to 99%.

 

 

§

Effective December 1, 2011, reflecting its 10% interest in Big River Resources, LLC, REX received a 10% interest in Big River Resources, Boyceville which operates a 55 mgy nameplate plant built by Fagen, Inc. with ICM, Inc. technology in Boyceville, WI.

 

 

 

§

Effective January 1, 2012, REX acquired an additional 3% ownership interest in Patriot Renewable Fuels, LLC for $1.9 million which increased its ownership in Patriot to 26%. 

REX CEO, Stuart Rose, commented, “The Q4 ‘11 and FY ‘11 financial results highlight the value of our return-focused, risk managed approach to investments in state-of-the-art ethanol plants in alignment with farming communities and in locations in close proximity to rail access and feedstocks. Fourth quarter operating results reflect strong contributions from One Earth, NuGen and our unconsolidated ethanol plants. The strength of our seven ethanol production interests is evident in our fourth quarter alternative energy segment operating profit which rose to $25.6 million.

“Given our balance sheet strength, REX has expanded its ownership interest in several ethanol production facilities. In addition, during FY ‘11 we allocated a total of $22.2 million to share repurchases as we bought back approximately 14% of the shares outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year. With the strong financial results for FY ‘11 we remain well positioned to pursue further ethanol, renewable resource or industrial project investment opportunities that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns.

“In summary, throughout fiscal 2011, we’ve increased our participation in ethanol gallon production at state-of-the-art plants in the corn belt while meaningfully reducing the company’s outstanding share base. Together, these initiatives drove significant growth and record EPS while positioning REX for future growth.”

 

Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Program

At January 31, 2012, REX had cash and cash equivalents of $75.0 million, $46.1 million of which was at the parent and approximately $28.9 million of which was at its consolidated ethanol production facilities. This compares with cash and cash equivalents of $91.0 million at January 31, 2011, $72.7 million of which was at the parent and $18.3 million of which was at its consolidated ethanol production facility.

REX repurchased 55,788 shares of its common stock in open market transactions in Q4 ‘11 at an average price of $17.82 and 1,305,589 shares in FY ‘11 at an average price of $17.02. REX is presently authorized to repurchase up to 162,455 shares of its common stock.

At January 31, 2012, REX had lease agreements, as landlord for six former retail store locations. REX has 16 owned former retail stores that were vacant or had temporary seasonal leases at January 31, 2012, which it is marketing to lease or sell. In addition, one former distribution center is partially leased, partially occupied by the REX corporate office and partially vacant. The real estate segment revenue reflects rental income derived from these sites.
