Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Raw Material Agreement The Company entered into a Raw Material Agreement with the DGD Joint Venture in May 2011 pursuant to which the Company will offer to supply certain animal fats and used cooking oil at market prices, but the DGD Joint Venture is not obligated to purchase the raw material offered by the Company. Additionally, the Company may offer other feedstocks to the DGD Joint Venture, such as inedible corn oil, purchased on a resale basis. For the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company recorded net sales to the DGD Joint Venture of approximately $264.8 million and $276.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, our net sales to the DGD Joint Venture were approximately 19% and 17%, respectively of Total net sales. For the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company recorded net sales to the DGD Joint Venture of approximately $746.1 million and $940.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, our net sales to the DGD Joint Venture were approximately 17% and 18%, respectively of Total net sales. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had $18.0 million and $172.3 million in outstanding receivables due from the DGD Joint Venture, respectively. In addition, the Company has eliminated approximately $63.7 million and $73.8 million of additional sales for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively to defer the Company’s portion of profit of approximately $7.9 million and $17.5 million on those sales relating to inventory assets remaining on the DGD Joint Venture's balance sheet at September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Revolving Loan Agreement On May 1, 2019, Darling, through its wholly owned subsidiary Darling Green Energy LLC, (“Darling Green”), and Diamond Alternative Energy, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valero (“Diamond Alternative” and together with Darling Green, the “DGD Lenders”), entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “2019 DGD Loan Agreement”) with the DGD Joint Venture, pursuant to which the DGD Lenders committed to making loans available to the DGD Joint Venture in the total amount of $50.0 million, with each lender committed to $25.0 million of the total commitment. Any borrowings by the DGD Joint Venture under the 2019 DGD Loan Agreement were at the applicable annum rate equal to the sum of (a) the LIBO Rate (meaning Reuters BBA Libor Rates Page 3750) on such day plus (b) 2.50%. On June 15, 2023, the DGD Lenders entered into a new revolving loan agreement (the “2023 DGD Loan Agreement”) with the DGD Joint Venture that replaced and superseded in its entirety the 2019 DGD Loan Agreement and pursuant to which the DGD Lenders have committed to making loans available to the DGD Joint Venture in the total amount of $200.0 million with each lender committed to $100.0 million of the total commitment. Any borrowings by the DGD Joint Venture under the 2023 DGD Loan Agreement are at the applicable annum rate equal to the sum of (a) term SOFR on such day plus (b) 2.50%. The 2023 DGD Loan Agreement expires on June 15, 2026. In December 2022, the DGD Joint Venture borrowed all $50.0 million available under the 2019 DGD Loan Agreement, including the Company’s full $25.0 million commitment, which was repaid in fiscal 2023. In January 2024, the DGD Joint Venture borrowed all $200.0 million available under the 2023 DGD Loan Agreement, including the Company’s full $100.0 million commitment, which was repaid in March 2024. The DGD Joint Venture paid interest to the Company for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 of zero, respectively and paid interest to the Company for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 of approximately $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, zero was owed to Darling Green under the 2023 DGD Loan Agreement and the 2019 DGD Loan Agreement, respectively. This note receivable amount is included in other current assets on the balance sheet and is included in investing activities on the cash flow statement. Guarantee Agreements In February 2020, in connection with the DGD Joint Venture’s expansion project at its Norco, LA facility, it entered into two agreements (the “IMTT Terminaling Agreements”) with International-Matex Tank Terminals (“IMTT”), pursuant to which the DGD Joint Venture will move raw material and finished product to and from the IMTT terminal facility by pipeline, thereby providing better logistical capabilities. As a condition to entering into the IMTT Terminaling Agreements, IMTT required that the Company and Valero guarantee their proportionate share, up to a maximum of approximately $50 million each, of the DGD Joint Venture’s obligations under the IMTT Terminaling Agreements (the “IMTT Guarantee”), subject to the conditions provided for in the IMTT Terminaling Agreements. The Company has not recorded any liability as a result of the IMTT Guarantee, as the Company believes the likelihood of having to make any payments under the IMTT Guarantee is remote. In April 2021, in connection with the DGD Joint Venture’s expansion project at its Port Arthur, TX facility, it entered into two agreements (the “GTL Terminaling Agreements”) with GT Logistics, LLC (“GTL”), pursuant to which the DGD Joint Venture will move raw material and finished product to and from the GTL terminal facility by pipeline, thereby providing better logistical capabilities. As a condition to entering into the GTL Terminaling Agreements, GTL required that the Company and Valero guarantee their proportionate share, up to a maximum of approximately $160 million each, of the DGD Joint Venture’s obligations under the GTL Terminaling Agreements (the “GTL Guarantee”), subject to the conditions provided for in the GTL Terminaling Agreements. The maximum amount of the GTL Guarantee is reduced over the 20-year initial term of the GTL Terminaling Agreements as the termination fee under such agreements declines. The Company has not recorded any liability as a result of the GTL Guarantee, as the Company believes the likelihood of having to make any payments under the GTL Guarantee is remote.
