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”). 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, 2019. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2018 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, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”).
New Accounting Standards
Leasing
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") (No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in July 2018 with ASU 2018-10 and in August 2018 with ASU 2018-11. ASC 842 supersedes the current accounting for leases. The new standard, while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (i) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting, (ii) eliminates current real estate specific lease provisions, (iii) modifies the lease classification criteria and (iv) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using the Comparative Under ASC 840 method, which requires lease assets and liabilities to be recognized in the 2019 balance sheet and statement of equity and forgo the comparative reporting requirements under the modified retrospective transition method. The Company also made an accounting policy election to keep short-term leases less than twelve months off the balance sheet for all classes of underlying assets, as well as elected to use the practical expedient that allows the combination of lease and non-lease contract components in all of its underlying asset categories. In addition, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allows entities to forego reassessing at the transition date: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether unamortized initial direct costs for existing leases meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. See Note 14 for additional information.
Other applicable standards
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. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements noting it is not material. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company has not chosen to do so at this time.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to

retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted this standard in the current year which did not have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
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. The Company has not historically incurred significant credit losses and does not currently anticipate circumstances that would lead to a CECL approach differing from the Company's existing allowance estimates in a material manner. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company does not plan to do so.

(a) In conjunction with the recent acquisition, the Company assumed Thompsons' revolving line of credit and a term loan with a syndicate of banks, which are non-recourse to the Company. The credit agreement provides the Company with a maximum availability of $183.4 million and had $107.9 million available for borrowing on this line of credit as of June 30, 2019. Any borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at variable rates, which are based on LIBOR or Bankers’ Acceptances plus an applicable spread. The maturity date for the revolving line of credit is June 26, 2023.
(b) In conjunction with the recent acquisition, the Company also assumed a term loan with a syndicate of banks. The term loan had a balance of $33.9 million at June 30, 2019. Interest rates for the term loans are based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread. Payments of $0.6 million are made on a quarterly basis.
(c) On January 11, 2019 the Company entered into 5-year term loan in the amount of $250 million and a 7-year term loan of $250 million. A portion of the term loans were used to pay down debt assumed in the LTG acquisition. Interest rates are based on LIBOR plus an applicable spread. Payments on the term loans will be made on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2019, $6.3 million has been paid on the 5-year term loan and $6.3 million has been paid on the 7-year term loan.
(d) See Note 14, Leases, for additional information. June 30, 2019 balances include the former build-to-suit lease that was reclassed from other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities as a result of the new lease standard.
The total borrowing capacity of the Company's lines of credit at June 30, 2019 was $1,628.4 million of which the Company had a total of $1,006.1 million available for borrowing under its lines of credit, subject to certain limitations based on debt covenants. The Company's borrowing capacity is reduced by a combination of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2019.
5. 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
12

Table of Contents
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 June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, 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.

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 June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's other derivatives:

7. 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, Leases. The breakdown of revenues between ASC 606 and other standards is as follows:

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands) | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018

Approximately 4% and 5% of revenues accounted for under ASC 606 during each of the three and months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are recorded over time which primarily relates to service revenues noted above. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately 4% and 6% of revenues were accounted for under ASC 606, respectively.
Contract balances
The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows:

(in thousands) | 2019 |  | 2018
Balance at January 1, | $ | 28,858 |  |  | $ | 25,520 |
Balance at March 31, | 146,824 |  |  | 67,715 |
Balance at June 30, | 48,225 |  |  | 10,047 |

Exclusive of acquisition related impacts, the residual 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 contract liabilities have two main drivers, including Trade prepayments by counter parties and 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. In the second quarter, the decrease in liabilities is due to the revenue recognized in the current period relating to the liability built up in the first quarter.
8. 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 June 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $11.0 million at an effective income tax rate of 27.2%. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and income taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 also includes tax benefits from foreign and general business tax credits. The increase in effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to the impacts of nondeductible compensation and noncontrolling interest, partially offset by benefits from income taxes on foreign earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $7.7 million at an effective income tax rate of 26.6%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5.6 million at an effective income tax rate of 26.7%. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and income taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 also includes tax benefits from foreign and general business tax credits. The decrease in effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to income taxes on foreign earnings and discrete activity in the prior period for a statutory merger that did not recur in the current period. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $7.4 million at an effective income tax rate of 27.7%.

10. Earnings Per Share
The Company’s non-vested restricted stock that was granted prior to March 2015 is considered a participating security since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

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.
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.

13. 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 grain merchandising, the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities and, historically, the investments in LTG and Thompsons Limited. In January 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 67.5% of LTG equity that it did not already own. The transaction also resulted in the consolidation of Thompsons Limited of Ontario, Canada and related entities, which LTG and the Company jointly owned. The Company is continuing to evaluate its segment reporting structure as a result of the acquisition. The presentation includes a majority of the acquired business within the legacy Grain Group which has been renamed, Trade Group. The acquired ethanol trading business of LTG is included within the Ethanol Group. This presentation is still preliminary as the reporting structure may further evolve this year. The Company also moved certain commission income and an elevator lease from the legacy Grain Group to the Ethanol Group to better align business segments. Prior year results have been recast to reflect this change. The Ethanol business purchases and sells ethanol, and provides risk management, origination and management services to ethanol production facilities. These facilities are organized as limited liability companies, two are consolidated and three are investments accounted for under the equity method. The Company performs a combination of these services under various contracts for these investments. 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

The Company often has the option to renew lease terms for buildings and other assets. The exercise of a lease renewal option is generally at the sole discretion of the Company. In addition, certain lease agreements may be terminated prior to their original expiration date at the discretion of the Company. Each renewal and termination option is evaluated at the lease commencement date to determine if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The table below summarizes the weighted average remaining lease terms as of June 30, 2019.

Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term |
Operating leases | 4.3 years
Finance leases | 7.1 years

The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for each lease is determined based on its term and the currency in which lease payments are made, adjusted for the impacts of collateral. The table below summarizes the weighted average discount rate used to measure the Company's lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019.

Weighted Average Discount Rate |  |
Operating leases | 4.16 | %

15. 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 LTG 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.
Commitments
The Company continues its construction of a new bio-refinery facility, which is expected to be completed in 2019. Portions of the project are covered by design and build contracts, with approximately $13 million of the remaining obligation not yet incurred, of which $0.9 million has been prepaid, as of June 30, 2019.

17. Business Acquisition
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of the remaining 67.5% equity of LTG. The transaction resulted in the consolidation of Thompsons Limited of Ontario, Canada and related entities as they were jointly owned by the Company and LTG in equal portions.
Total consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition of LTG was $328.9 million. The Company paid $169.2 million in cash, which includes preliminary working capital adjustments of $31.9 million, and issued 4.4 million unregistered shares valued at $127.8 million based upon the stock price of the Company.
The purchase price allocation is preliminary, pending completion of the full valuation report and a final working capital adjustment to be agreed upon between the Company and the sellers. A summarized preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

The goodwill recognized as a result of the LTG acquisition is $129.9 million and is allocated to the Trade Group segment. A portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the addition of an assembled workforce and complementary assets with greater scale that significantly expands the Company's reach in the agricultural marketplace. Due to refinements in the valuation and finalization of certain replacement equity award during the second quarter, goodwill increased approximately $7.5 million and other intangible assets decreased $9.6 million as well as various working capital adjustments. The Company also finalized the determination of the preacquisition fair value of its preexisitng ownership interests, which resulted in a revision of the previously recorded pretax loss by $2.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, as described in our 2018 Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the second quarter of 2019, other than as a result of adopting the new lease accounting standard. See additional information regarding these policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial statements herein in Notes 1 and 14.
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. In January, the Company completed the acquisition of 67.5% of LTG equity that it did not already own. The transaction also resulted in the consolidation of Thompsons Limited of Ontario, Canada and related entities, which LTG and the Company jointly owned. The Company is continuing to evaluate its segment reporting structure as a result of the acquisition. The presentation here includes a majority of the acquired business within the legacy Grain Group which has been renamed, Trade Group. The acquired ethanol trading business is included within the Ethanol Group. As a result of the LTG acquisition, the Company also moved certain commission income and an elevator lease from the legacy Grain Group to the Ethanol Group to better align business segments. Prior year results have been recast to reflect this change.
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.
Further, we have considered the potential impact that the Company’s total shareholders’ equity exceeded the Company’s market capitalization value at various points during the quarter for impairment indicators. While we ultimately concluded that the book value in excess of market capitalization is a short-term anomaly and that no impairment triggering event has occurred, the assessment performed for goodwill may be influenced by these market conditions and affect the calculated fair value of the reporting unit at the annual October 1 assessment date. A goodwill impairment charge might result if recent weaknesses in our business units prove to be long-term in nature and affect our forecast for future years. Total goodwill across the Company is $135.9 million.
Trade Group
The Trade Group’s results in the second quarter reflect improved market conditions from strong corn and wheat basis appreciation and capitalizing on better merchandising opportunities due to increased market volatility.
Agricultural inventories on hand at June 30, 2019 were 96.1 million bushels, of which 1.3 million bushels were stored for others. These amounts compare to 80.9 million bushels on hand at June 30, 2018, of which 0.1 million bushels were stored for
34

Table of Contents
others. Total Trade storage capacity, including temporary pile storage, was approximately 216 million bushels at June 30, 2019 compared to 145 million bushels at June 30, 2018. This increase in capacity was a result of the LTG acquisition.
The Trade Group will seek to capitalize on continued market volatility, but expects headwinds in the second half of the year from the unpredictability of the crop production in the Eastern Corn Belt due to the extreme weather during the first half of the year.
Ethanol Group
The Ethanol Group's second quarter results remained profitable despite an extremely weak margin environment. The construction of the Ethanol Group's new bio-refinery facility continues and the project is on target to be operational in the third quarter of 2019. The Ethanol Group expects the margin headwinds to continue into the second half of the year due to rising corn basis levels.
Ethanol and related co-products volumes for three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

(in thousands) | Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Ethanol (gallons shipped) | 130,297 |  |  | 117,061 |  |  | 261,325 |  |  | 220,136 |
E-85 (gallons shipped) | 13,959 |  |  | 16,577 |  |  | 22,892 |  |  | 31,479 |
Corn Oil (pounds shipped) | 4,821 |  |  | 5,567 |  |  | 9,754 |  |  | 10,374 |
DDG (tons shipped) * | 36 |  |  | 42 |  |  | 73 |  |  | 81 |

* DDG tons shipped converts wet tons to a dry ton equivalent amount
The above table shows only shipped volumes reflected in the Company's revenues. Total ethanol, corn oil and DDG production by the unconsolidated LLCs is higher. However, the portion of that volume that is sold directly to its customers is excluded here. The increase in ethanol gallons shipped is a result of the LTG acquisition.
Plant Nutrient Group
The Plant Nutrient Group's second quarter results reflect improved primary and specialty nutrient margins and depressed volumes due to unprecedented wet weather in much of its core footprint. The Group is optimistic margins will remain strong for the second half of the year despite the lawn business expecting to continue to face headwinds.
Storage capacity at our wholesale nutrient and farm center facilities, including leased storage, was approximately 487 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 515 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2019, compared to approximately 484 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 515 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2018.
Tons of product sold for three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

(in thousands) | Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Primary nutrients | 589 |  |  | 657 |  |  | 767 |  |  | 859 |
Specialty nutrients | 207 |  |  | 247 |  |  | 372 |  |  | 433 |
Other | 13 |  |  | 13 |  |  | 29 |  |  | 29 |
Total tons | 809 |  |  | 917 |  |  | 1,168 |  |  | 1,321 |

In the table above, primary nutrients is comprised of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from our wholesale and farm center businesses. Specialty nutrients encompasses low-salt liquid starter fertilizers, micronutrients for wholesale and farm center businesses, as well as the lawn business. Other tons include those from the cob business.
Rail Group
The Rail Group results improved due to stronger utilization rates from more cars on lease and an impairment charge in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in income from car sales and other services. Average utilization rates increased from 89.5 percent in the second quarter of 2018 to 94.6 percent in the second quarter of 2019. A portion of this
35

Table of Contents
increase, however, is attributable to the railcar scrap program which occurred in the second quarter of 2018. Additionally, the Company focused on putting idle cars in service and growing the fleet with strategic purchases. Rail Group assets under management (owned, leased or managed for financial institutions in non-recourse arrangements) at June 30, 2019 were 23,966 compared to 23,059 at June 30, 2018.
The leasing business continues to perform well with more cars on lease and higher average lease rates year over year. Lease rates and utilization rates have likely hit their peak but should remain steady.
Other
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 $15.0 million compared to the results of the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased by $1,401.2 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased $1,332.2 million for favorable net gross profit impact of $69.0 million. Substantially all of the gross profit increase was a direct result of acquiring LTG and Thompsons, however, the Company also realized significant basis appreciation on its corn and wheat positions.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased by $41.6 million. The acquisition of the remaining equity in LTG and Thompsons accounted for $39.4 million of this increase. Included in the increased expenses are several acquisition related items, such as, $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.4 million of incremental depreciation and amortization expenses and $0.4 million of other transaction-related costs.
Interest expense increased $6.3 million due to the increased debt levels resulting from the acquisition and rising interest rates.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased by $7.1 million as LTG and Thompsons are now consolidated entities.
Other income, net includes a $2.4 million adjustment to the previously recorded $3.5 million loss on pre-existing investments in LTG and Thompsons, pursuant to the accounting rules that govern step acquisitions, as the Company finalized its valuation of the pre-acquisition fair value of these investments during the quarter as a part of the preliminary purchase price accounting.

Operating results for the Ethanol Group declined $4.6 million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased $43.4 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased $44.9 million compared to 2018 results were primarily attributable to the LTG acquisition. Gross profit decreased by $1.6 million compared to 2018 results due to a compressed industry margin environment.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $1.9 million primarily due to an increase in labor and benefits, most of which was from the addition of the acquired ethanol trading team.
Interest expense decreased $0.6 million due to the capitalization of interest related to the construction of the ELEMENT plant.
Plant Nutrient Group
Operating results for the Plant Nutrient Group increased by $0.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased $32.5 million. This was driven by a significant decrease in primary and specialty ton

volumes. These decreases are due to unfavorable weather conditions when compared to the prior year. Cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $34.2 million due to the decrease in sales volumes, improved cost containment, operational efficiency and product mix. While volumes decreased, margins improved from the prior year and led to an increased gross profit of $1.6 million.
Interest expense increased $0.7 million from carrying higher levels of inventories due to the wet weather that delayed and reduced planting.
Rail Group
Operating results increased $2.2 million from the same period last year while sales and merchandising revenues increased $1.6 million. This increase was driven by a $2.1 million increase in leasing revenues from more cars on lease. This increase was partially offset from decreased car sale revenues of $0.5 million as the Company sold more cars in the second quarter of 2018. Cost of sales and merchandising increased $0.4 million compared to the prior year due to higher depreciation expense. As a result, gross profit increased $1.2 million compared to last year.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $1.9 million driven by increased costs related to opening and closing repair shops and increased labor and workers’ compensation expenses. The prior period results also include an impairment charge on idle fleet assets
Interest expense increased $1.5 million due to higher debt balances and rising interest rates.
Other
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $1.7 million due to favorable benefit costs in the prior year.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $11.0 million at an effective rate of 27.2%. In 2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $7.7 million at an effective tax rate of 26.6%. The increase in effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to the impacts of nondeductible compensation and noncontrolling interest, partially offset by benefits from income taxes on foreign earnings.

Trade Group
Operating results for the Trade Group decreased by $1.2 million compared to the results of the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased $2,723.2 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased $2,610.5 million for an increase in net gross profit of $112.7 million. The gross profit increase was a direct result of acquiring LTG and Thompsons.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $88.1 million. The acquisition of the remaining equity in LTG and Thompsons accounted for $80.4 million of this increase. Included in the increased expenses are several purchase accounting related items, such as, $4.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $4.8 million of incremental depreciation and amortization expense and $1.2 million of other transaction-related costs.
Interest expense increased $14.3 million primarily due to the acquisition and rising interest rates. The Company also wrote off $0.6 million in deferred financing fees as part of its new credit facility.
Equity in earnings of affiliates decreased by $9.2 million because LTG and Thompsons are now consolidated entities.
Other income, net includes a $1.1 million loss on the pre-acquisition fair value of our LTG and Thompsons investments compared to our previous carrying values. The loss was driven by prior periods' foreign currency translation losses related to Thompsons, previously recorded in Other Comprehensive Income, that were recognized in earnings upon the consolidation of Thompsons.
Ethanol Group
Operating results for the Ethanol Group decreased $5.1 million from the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues increased $78.6 million and cost of sales and merchandising revenues increased $80.0 million compared to 2018 results. The incremental sales and corresponding cost of sales are attributable to the LTG acquisition. Lower average sales prices from an oversupply of ethanol in the market resulted in decreased gross profit of $1.4 million.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $2.7 million primarily due to an increase in labor and benefits, most of which was from the addition of the acquired ethanol trading team.
Interest expense decreased $1.4 million due to the capitalization of interest related to the construction of the ELEMENT plant.

Plant Nutrient Group
Operating results for the Plant Nutrient Group decreased $4.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased $39.6 million. This was driven by a significant decrease in primary and specialty ton volumes. These decreases are due to unfavorable weather conditions as well as higher volumes in the lawn business that did not recur in the current year. Cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased by $39.9 million due to the decrease in sales. While primary nutrient volumes decreased, improved margins led to increased gross profit of $0.3 million.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $2.9 million primarily due an increase in rent and storage and unfavorable costs from low production volumes due to weak market conditions.
Interest expense increased $1.6 million from carrying higher levels of inventories as a result of the wet weather that delayed and reduced planting.
Rail Group
Operating results for the Rail Group increased $2.6 million from the same period in the prior year. While operating results improved sales and merchandising revenues decreased $7.4 million. This decrease in revenues was driven by a decrease of $14.3 million in car sale revenues as the Company sold more cars in 2018, partially offset by an increase of $5.1 million in leasing revenues due to higher utilization rates with more cars on lease and $1.8 million in repair and other revenues. Cost of sales and merchandising revenues decreased $12.0 million compared to the prior year due to lower car sales and improved margins in services.
Operating, administrative and general expenses increased $3.8 million driven by a $1.1 million increase in labor and benefits due to the growth of the repair business and increased costs related to opening and closing repair shops and increased labor and workers’ compensation expenses. The prior period results also include an impairment charge on idle fleet assets. As a result, gross profit increased $4.6 million compared to last year.
Interest expense increased $2.8 million due to rising interest rates and higher debt balances.
Other
Operating, administrative and general expenses decreased $1.4 million due to severance and other IT implementation costs reflected in 2018 which did not recur in 2019.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $5.6 million at an effective rate of 26.7%. In 2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $7.4 million at an effective tax rate of 27.7%. The decrease in effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to income taxes on foreign earnings and discrete activity in the prior period for a statutory merger that did not recur in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
At June 30, 2019, the Company had working capital of $464.1 million. The following table presents changes in the components of current assets and current liabilities:

June 30, 2019 current assets increased $889 million in comparison to June 30, 2018. This increase was related to the Trade Group as the current assets balance for the group increased by $914 million from the prior year due to the LTG acquisition. See also the discussion below on additional sources and uses of cash for an understanding of the decrease in cash from prior year.
Current liabilities increased $648 million compared to the prior year as the Trade Group current liabilities increased by $366 million due to the acquisition of LTG, and Corporate current liabilities increased by $277 million from the increased debt related to the acquisition detailed in Note 4, Debt.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities
Our operating activities used cash of $84.8 million and $43.9 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in cash used was due to changes in working capital, as discussed above.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $271.4 million through the first six months of 2019 compared to cash used of $46.4 million in the prior year. Cash used for the acquisition of business increased $147.7 million due to the LTG acquisition.
In 2019, we expect to spend up to a total of $160 million for the purchase of railcars and related leases and capitalized modifications of railcars. We also expect these purchases to be funded from sales and dispositions of railcars or non-recourse debt of approximately $135 million during the year.
In addition to the construction of the bio-refinery, total capital spending for 2019 on property, plant and equipment in our base business excluding rail leasing activity, but inclusive of information technology spending is expected to be approximately $180 million.

Table of Contents
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $344.4 million and $114.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This was largely due to an increase in proceeds from new debt issued to finance the LTG acquisition and higher seasonal working capital.
We are party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of $1,628.4 million in borrowings. This amount includes $70 million of debt of ELEMENT LLC, $200 million of debt of The Andersons Railcar Leasing Company LLC, that is non-recourse to the Company, and $183.4 million of debt of Thompsons, that is non-recourse to the Company. Of that total, we had $1,006.1 million available for borrowing at June 30, 2019. Consistent with the higher sales volumes as a result of the acquisition borrowings have also increased.
We paid $11.0 million in dividends in the six months of 2019 compared to $9.3 million in the prior year. We paid $0.17 per common share for the dividends paid in January and April of 2019 and $0.165 per common share for the dividends paid in January and April of 2018. On May 10, 2019 we declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per common share payable on July 22, 2019 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2019.
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 June 30, 2019. 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.
We believe our sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund our operations, capital expenditures and payments of dividends in the foreseeable future.
Contractual Obligations
Future payments due under contractual obligations at June 30, 2019 are as follows:

(a) Future interest obligations are calculated based on interest rates in effect as of June 30, 2019 for the Company's variable rate debt and do not include any assumptions on expected borrowings, if any, under the short-term line of credit.
(b) Approximately 39% of the operating lease commitments above relate to Rail Group assets that the Company leases from financial intermediaries.
(c) Includes the amounts related to purchase obligations in the Company's operating units, including $2,582 million for the purchase of commodities, including grain from producers and $235 million for the purchase of ethanol from the unconsolidated ethanol LLCs. There are also forward commodities sales contracts, including those for grain and ethanol, to consumers and traders and the net of these forward contracts are offset by exchange-traded futures and options contracts or over-the-counter contracts. See the narrative description of businesses for the Grain and Ethanol Groups in Item 1 of 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
(d) Other long-term liabilities include estimated obligations under our retiree healthcare programs and principal and interest payments for the financing arrangement on our headquarters. Obligations under the retiree healthcare programs are not fixed commitments and will vary depending on various factors, including the level of participant utilization and inflation. Our estimates of postretirement payments through 2023 have considered recent payment trends and actuarial assumptions.
(e) In 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to construct a bio-refinery. The company expects to contribute $70 million in 2019 for the construction of this plant.

At June 30, 2019, we had standby letters of credit outstanding of $32.9 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
Our Rail Group utilizes leasing arrangements that provide off-balance sheet financing for its activities. We lease assets from financial intermediaries through sale-leaseback transactions, the majority of which involve operating leasebacks. Rail Group assets we own or lease from a financial intermediary are generally leased to a customer under an operating lease. We also arrange non-recourse lease transactions under which we sell assets to a financial intermediary and assign the related operating lease to the financial intermediary on a non-recourse basis. In such arrangements, we generally provide ongoing maintenance and management services for the financial intermediary and receive a fee for such services.
The following table describes our Rail Group asset positions at June 30, 2019:

Method of Control | Financial Statement |  | Units
Owned - railcars available for sale | On balance sheet – current |  | 289 |
Owned - railcar assets leased to others | On balance sheet – non-current |  | 21,363 |
Railcars leased from financial intermediaries | Off balance sheet |  | 2,101 |
Railcars in non-recourse arrangements | Off balance sheet |  | 170 |
Total Railcars |  |  | 23,923 |
Locomotive assets leased to others | On balance sheet – non-current |  | 24 |
Locomotives leased from financial intermediaries | Off balance sheet |  | 4 |
Total Locomotives |  |  | 28 |
Barge assets leased from financial intermediaries | Off balance sheet |  | 15 |
Total Barges |  |  | 15 |

In addition, we manage 1,027 railcars for third party customers or owners for which we receive a fee.
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, 2018. There were no material changes in market risk, specifically commodity and interest rate risk during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ("Certifying Officers"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on the results of this evaluation, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018. As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any

change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company acquired the remaining equity of LTG and Thompsons during the first quarter of 2019. In connection with the integration of LTG and Thompsons, the Company will implement enhancements to its internal control over financial reporting as necessary. Additionally, the Company is undertaking the phased implementation of an ERP software system. The Company believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and further believes that its internal control environment will be enhanced as a result of this implementation. There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are currently subject to various claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business, which include environmental issues, employment claims, contractual disputes, and defensive counter claims. We accrue liabilities where litigation losses are deemed probable and estimable. We believe it is unlikely that the results of our current legal proceedings, even if unfavorable, will be materially different from what we currently have accrued. There can be no assurance, however, that any claims or suits arising in the future, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in this Form 10-Q and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results. These risks can be impacted by factors beyond our control as well as by errors and omissions on our part. The most significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results are described in our 2018 Form 10-K (Item 1A).

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.
