Note 16. Segment Reporting


In the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company began reporting the results of its refined coal operations as a new segment as a result of the refined coal acquisition (see Note 3.) The Company has two segments: ethanol and by-products and refined coal. Historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year segment reporting presentation. The Company evaluates the performance of each reportable segment based on net income attributable to REX common shareholders. The following table summarizes segment and other results and assets (amounts in thousands):

1 The Company records sales in the refined coal segment net of the cost of coal as the Company purchases the coal feedstock from the customer to which refined coal is sold.


2 The Company records its tax provision/benefit based on an estimated annual rate adjusted for items recorded discretely which it estimates to be approximately negative 4%. As a result of the timing of the refined coal acquisition on August 10, 2017, the Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended October 31, 2017 was a benefit of approximately 62%, which then results in a year to date effective rate of a benefit of approximately 4%.
