MGP Ingredients Announces Second Quarter FY 2008 Results
Highlights:
- Q2 total sales of $93.9 million increased 7.2% over year ago
- Q2 diluted EPS of $0.31 compared with $0.40 in year-ago quarter
- Q2 net income includes $7 million pre-tax gain on litigation settlement
- Sales in ingredient solutions segment show significant improvement vs. year ago
- Distillery results impacted by lower ethanol pricing and higher corn costs

ATCHISON, Kan., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGPI) today reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.31 in diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2008, which ended December 30, 2007. These results include a $7 million gain on settlement of litigation, net of related expenses, without which the company would have reported a loss before taxes of $2 million. This compares with net income of $6.8 million, or $0.40 in diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Total sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were $93.9 million, an increase of 7.2 percent from sales a year ago.

Total ingredient solutions sales increased over 70 percent led principally by higher sales of vital wheat gluten. Sales of specialty ingredients improved by 35 percent compared with the previous year's quarter, while also showing a strong gain over the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The growing contribution from specialty ingredients helped to offset higher wheat costs, which increased 51.3 percent over a year ago. A pre-tax loss of $124,000 in the ingredient solutions segment included inventory write-downs of approximately $938,000. This compares with a loss of $ 2.8 million in last year's second quarter. Distillery products sales declined by 5.8 percent compared with fiscal 2007 second quarter levels. This was due to a significant decline in selling prices for fuel grade alcohol (ethanol) and reduced sales units compared with the year-ago period. The company's earnings performance in the distillery products segment was also adversely affected by higher costs for corn, the principal raw material used in the alcohol production process. The per-bushel cost of corn averaged nearly 37.8 percent higher than the prior year's second quarter. Pre-tax income in the distillery products segment declined to $1.3 million compared with $15.7 million in last year's second quarter. Pre-tax losses of $3.1 million, including inventory write-downs of approximately $356,000, were reported in the company's other segment, consisting primarily of products in development for pet and plant-based biopolymer applications.

On December 27, 2007, the company settled its two year patent infringement and contract litigation and was paid $8 million. Professional fees related to this litigation in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2008 have been netted against the gross proceeds for a net amount of $7,046,000 and recorded as a separate line item below income from operations. The company used the proceeds to reduce its line of credit. As a result of a February 6 amendment to its line of credit agreement increasing the maximum borrowing capacity to $30 million, at that date the company had $18 million available for borrowings under its line of credit.

'We have been feeling the impact of lower ethanol pricing on distillery profits since the fourth quarter of last fiscal year,' said Ladd Seaberg, chairman and chief executive officer. 'This situation in the current year's second quarter was further aggravated by near record corn prices, a major component of our cost of goods sold. We also fell short of achieving full planned distillery capacity due to some temporary fermentation issues which have since been resolved. Although corn prices have remained at or near this higher level and, based upon Chicago Board of Trade Futures, are expected to increase this summer, we are encouraged by the prospect of strengthened ethanol pricing for the balance of the fiscal year.

Seaberg added, 'The progress we are making with our ingredient solutions segment is more apparent on the top line than the bottom line. Granted we did benefit from gluten sales but we are also achieving better sales and margin improvements in our core specialty ingredients. As we continue to migrate to a higher mix of value-added products, the impact of rising wheat costs should lessen over time.'

Segment Results

The following is a summary of sales and pre-tax profits/(loss) allocated to each operating segment for the second quarter and six months ended December 30, 2007, and the second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2006. Interest expense, investment income and other general miscellaneous expenses are classified as corporate.

Total sales of distillery products in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 declined approximately 5.8 percent to $67.5 million compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007. This decline was due to an $8.1 million, or 21 percent, decrease in sales of fuel grade alcohol. Sales of food grade alcohol improved by $2.3 million, or 9.6 percent, over the prior year with gains in both beverage and industrial applications. Sales of distillers feed, the principal by-product of the alcohol production process, increased by approximately $846,000, or 11.7 percent, over last year's second quarter.

Total ingredient solutions sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 increased by approximately $10.3 million, or 70.2 percent, compared to the prior year's quarter. Sales of specialty proteins and starches increased by $3.8 million, or 35.1 percent, during the quarter compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2007. The company also reported a $6.3 million increase in sales of vital wheat gluten compared to a year ago, which resulted from significantly higher volumes as well as per-unit pricing compared with year-ago levels. Revenues for commodity starch decreased $115,000, or 12.3 percent, as a result of reduced sales volume consistent with the implementation of our strategy of continued development and commercialization of our value-added wheat proteins and starches.

Sales of other products, consisting primarily of pet products and plant-based biopolymers, increased $211,000, or 16.3 percent, compared to the same quarter a year ago due to improved per-unit prices related to product mix, as well as increased unit sales.

Results for Six Months

For the first six months of fiscal 2008, the company had net income of $4.9 million, or $0.29 in diluted earnings per share, on total sales of $181.9 million, compared with net income of $13.8 million, or $0.82 in diluted earnings per share, on sales of $172.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007. These results include a $7 million gain on settlement of litigation, net of related expenses, without which the company would have reported a loss before taxes of $2.5 million. This increase in sales was primarily due to an $18.2 million, or 62 percent increase, in ingredients solutions sales, which resulted mainly from higher sales of vital wheat gluten. Distillery products sales declined by $8.8 million, or 6 percent, for the six month period compared to a year-ago.

Pre-tax income for the distillery segment was $2.0 million, a decrease of $28.9 million over the prior year's first six months. Pre-tax income in the ingredient solutions segment was $187,000 and compares favorably to the pre-tax loss of $5.2 million incurred in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net income for the six months of fiscal 2008 included a net litigation settlement of $7 million.

Income Taxes

For the second quarter, the company recorded an income tax benefit of $260,000 for an effective rate of (5.2) percent compared to a provision of $4.5 million for the same quarter a year ago for an effective rate of 39.8 percent. For the six-months, the income tax benefit was $388,000 for an effective rate of (8.5) percent compared to a tax provision of $8.4 million for the previous year-to-date period for an effective rate of 37.7 percent. During the second quarter, management determined that a valuation allowance related to unused tax credits was no longer appropriate and was therefore removed, resulting in a new tax benefit in the quarter of approximately $2.0 million. Excluding certain one-time discrete items applicable to this quarter, the effective rate was 34.0 percent.

On Track with Top Line Growth in Ingredient Solutions

'We are most encouraged by our initial results in the reconfigured ingredient solutions business,' said Tim Newkirk, president and chief operating officer. 'While we still have further to go before reaching volume levels that will generate sustained profitability, the product mix continues to shift in the right direction. The key measure is our average sales price, which is up significantly over a year ago due to an improved product mix. As further evidence, we showed sequential improvement over our first quarter sales in key product lines, including our Fibersym(R) RW resistant starch, as well as our Wheatex(R) textured proteins. Along with a renewed focus on specialty sales, we have better visibility into our operations with a new ERP system. During the quarter we identified a portion of our inventories that we felt were no longer aligned with our new ingredient solutions technology platforms. This resulted in a write-down of those products, impacting pre-tax income on both our ingredient solutions and other segments. Excluding the write-downs, the ingredients segment continues to track our plan for strengthened contributions to our bottom line. It needs to be emphasized that we are still very early in the process of re-engaging our customers across a growing number of new opportunities.'

Newkirk added, 'This was a particularly challenging quarter for us on the ethanol side, where we have been dealing with lower selling prices for some time and because we fell short of our alcohol production targets, estimated to be between 10 and 15 percent of our capacity. The higher corn costs only aggravated the situation. We fully expect to ramp up production beginning in the current quarter, and from a contracting perspective we are in an ideal position to capture higher fuel pricing. If ethanol prices continue to strengthen, we would expect improvements in the second half of our fiscal year.'

Seaberg concluded, 'We continue to experience earnings volatility on the fuel alcohol side of our business, but are encouraged by the recent firming of prices. At the same time, our food grade alcohol products remain a solid contributor to our bottom line. This is not the first time in our history that we have had to deal with commodity price headwinds. With new equipment and operational improvements we remain focused on lowering our per-gallon alcohol production costs. On the ingredients side, it's all about gaining traction. With more resources than ever concentrated on our best prospects, we look forward to generating more positive results as we go forward.'

(1) EBITDA equals earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and

accepted accounting principles and does not purport to be an
alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
Additionally, it is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for
management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash
requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service
requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations,
this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled

MGP Ingredients Announces Fiscal 2006 First Quarter Results
11/9/2005 8:01:49 AM

ATCHISON, Kan., Nov 09, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --MGP Ingredients, Inc. (MGPI) today reported net income of $3,731,000, or $0.23 per common share, for its fiscal 2006 first quarter, which ended September 30. This compares to net income of $291,000, or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Net sales in the current year's first quarter totaled $77,046,000 compared to net sales of $68,878,000 in the prior year's first quarter.


The company's improved first quarter performance was driven by increased sales of distillery products, which rose approximately 18 percent compared to distillery products sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Sales of ingredients were down slightly due to lower sales of specialty ingredients, which principally consist of specialty wheat proteins and wheat starches. Sales of commodity ingredients, which consist primarily of commodity wheat gluten and wheat starches, rose compared to the year-ago quarter.

"External and internal factors contributed to strength in our distillery business in the first quarter," said Ladd Seaberg, president and chief executive officer. "High gasoline prices and growing interest in the use of renewable fuels have continued to buoy ethanol prices. More importantly, a planned shift toward greater, more efficient production of high quality food grade alcohol drove our performance within the distillery segment."

Ingredient sales in the first quarter were impacted by a decline in sales of the company's Chewtex(TM) line of specialty protein- and starch-based resins, produced for use in the manufacture of pet chews and related treats. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales of commodity wheat gluten during the first quarter. While gluten sales are no longer an emphasis, the company had more gluten available for sale because specialty starch sales have outpaced specialty proteins sales.

"Sales of our Fibersym(TM) line of resistant starches, which we market for incorporation in fiber-enriched, reduced carbohydrate and lower calorie foods, increased in the quarter, while performance of our Arise(R) line of specialty wheat protein isolates declined compared to the year-ago quarter," said Michael Trautschold, executive vice president of marketing and sales. "Even though we experienced sequential gains compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 in sales of Arise(R) and our Wheatex(R) line of textured proteins, our focus remains on developing additional profitable applications for proteins to keep pace with strengthening specialty starch sales."

Distillery Products

Total sales of distillery products in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 rose by approximately $8.5 million, or 18 percent, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2005. This improvement resulted from higher selling prices for both food grade and fuel grade alcohol combined with a net volume increase driven by higher unit sales of food grade alcohol for industrial applications.

Sales of food grade alcohol rose by 74 percent, while sales of fuel grade alcohol increased by 5 percent compared to a year ago. Sales of distillers feed, the principal by-product on the alcohol production process, decreased by 17 percent due to lower prices.

Price improvements and higher unit sales resulted in a 124 percent increase in sales of food grade alcohol for industrial applications. Sales of food grade alcohol for beverage applications rose by approximately by 5 percent due to higher prices, which offset a slight reduction in unit sales. The increased sales of fuel grade alcohol also resulted from higher average selling prices, which more than offset lower unit sales compared to a year ago.

Ingredients

Total ingredient sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased by approximately $304,000, or 1 percent, compared to the prior year's first quarter. This was due to a nearly 18 percent decline in sales of specialty ingredients for non-food applications. "We believe this decline is attributable to the impact of higher gas costs and a weakening labor market, which has contributed to weaker consumer spending and declining consumer confidence, resulting in a slowdown in pet industry sales," he added.

Sales of specialty ingredients for food applications were just slightly lower than a year ago, while sales of mill feeds and other mill products decreased by 39 percent. Sales of commodity ingredients, on the other hand, increased by approximately 47 percent compared to a year ago. This increase resulted from a significant rise in sales of commodity gluten, which more than offset a decrease in sales of commodity starches.

The decrease in sales of specialty ingredients for non-food applications principally occurred in sales of the company's protein- and starch-based resins for use in pet industry products. Sales of specialty ingredients for food applications benefited from higher sales of specialty starches and a small increase in sales of the company's Wheatex(R) line of textured wheat proteins that are sold for use in meat analog and meat extension applications. These improvements offset a decline in sales of MGPI's Arise(R) line of wheat protein isolates during the quarter. The reduction in sales of commodity starches resulted from the company's decision to place increased emphasis on the production and marketing of specialty starches. The reduction in sales of mill feeds (which is a by-product in the manufacture of flour) and other mill products resulted from the processing of less flour in the current year's first quarter for use in producing specialty proteins.

The increase in commodity gluten sales was due to higher unit sales resulting from higher quantities on hand compared to the prior year's first quarter. This increase adversely affected the company's profitability, as market prices for gluten have been below the company's cost of production. Although MGPI has deemphasized gluten sales because of such poor market conditions, gluten remains a co-product from the processing of flour. Because the company's sales of specialty proteins have not kept pace proportionately with its specialty starch sales, more gluten was available for sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 than in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 as less gluten has been processed into specialty proteins.

The company also announced that plans are underway for the implementation of upgrades at its recently acquired manufacturing facility in Onaga, Kan. that it expects to use as a platform for growth of its eco-friendly, plant-based biopolymers. "Along with our recently-announced plans for a new corporate headquarters and technical center to enhance our research and development functions, these investments will position us well to pursue the exciting growth opportunities available to us in the specialty ingredients arena," added Trautschold.

Outlook

"Looking ahead, we expect that distillery sales will continue to drive our performance in the first half of fiscal 2006," Seaberg said, noting that "strong cash flow from our distillery business has given us the flexibility to pursue our growth objectives on the ingredients side. This will be even more important in the current quarter, as we continue to experience a decline in our non-food ingredients business." He further noted that "we also expect our results in the current quarter will be affected by increased energy and wheat costs compared to this year's first quarter."

Conference Call Information

The company will host an investor conference call today at 10 a.m. central time to review the first quarter results. Stockholders and other interested parties may listen to the call live via telephone by dialing 800-322-0079 by 9:50 a.m. central time, or access it on the Internet at http://www.mgpingredients.com .
