MGP INGREDIENTS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
Note 1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
The Company. MGP Ingredients, Inc. (“the Company,” and “MGP”) is a Kansas corporation headquartered in Atchison, Kansas and is a leading producer and supplier of premium distilled spirits, branded spirits and food ingredients. Distilled spirits include premium bourbon and rye whiskeys and grain neutral spirits, including vodka and gin. Our distilled spirits are either packaged and sold under our own brands to distributors, sold, directly or indirectly, to manufacturers of other branded spirits, or direct to consumer. MGP is also a top producer of high quality industrial alcohol for use in both food and non-food applications. The Company’s protein and starch food ingredients provide a host of functional, nutritional, and sensory benefits for a wide range of food products to serve the packaged goods industry. Our industrial alcohol and ingredients products are sold directly, or through distributors, to manufacturers and processors of finished packaged goods or to bakeries. The Company’s distillery products are derived from corn and other grains (including rye, barley, wheat, barley malt, and milo), and its ingredient products are derived, primarily from wheat flour.
On April 1, 2021, the Company acquired Luxco, Inc. and its affiliated companies (“Luxco”, or “Luxco Companies”) which is a leading branded beverage alcohol company across various categories, with a more than 60-year business heritage. Luxco’s operations predominately involve the producing, importing, bottling and rectifying of distilled spirits. See Note 3, Business Combination, for further details.
As a result of the merger with Luxco, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company established a new reportable segment structure that separates Branded Spirits from the Distillery Products segment. The Ingredient Solutions segment remains unchanged. The new segment presentation reflects how management is now operating the business and making resource allocations. The Company now reports three operating segments: Distillery Products, Branded Spirits and Ingredient Solutions. Certain amounts in the 2020 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation and prior periods have been revised to reflect the new operating segment structure.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
The Company holds 60 percent interest in Dos Primos Tequila, LLC (“Dos Primos”). The Company consolidated Dos Primos activity on the financial statements and backs out the 40 percent non-controlling interest portion on a separate line.
Use of Estimates. The financial reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The application of certain of these policies places demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain, inclusive of the effects related to COVID-19. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop as forecast, and estimates routinely require adjustment and may require material adjustment.
Inventory. Inventory includes finished goods, raw materials in the form of agricultural commodities used in the production process as well as bottles, caps, and labels used in the bottling process and certain maintenance and repair items. Bourbon and
9

whiskeys are normally aged in barrels for several years, following industry practice; all barreled bourbon and whiskey is classified as a current asset. The Company includes warehousing, insurance, and other carrying charges applicable to barreled whiskey in inventory costs.
Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value on the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. Inventory valuations are impacted by constantly changing prices paid for key materials, primarily corn. Inventory consists of the following:

|  | June 30, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Finished goods |  | $ | 47,500 |  |  | $ | 16,414 |
Barreled distillate (bourbons and whiskeys) |  | 151,441 |  |  | 105,445 |
Raw materials |  | 21,850 |  |  | 6,954 |
Work in process |  | 1,533 |  |  | 1,805 |
Maintenance materials |  | 8,806 |  |  | 8,634 |
Other |  | 1,162 |  |  | 1,759 |
Total |  | $ | 232,292 |  |  | $ | 141,011 |

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services, through performance obligations by the Company, is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the performance obligations. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant and the period between when the entity transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less.
Revenue is recognized for the sale of products at the point in time finished products are delivered to the customer in accordance with shipping terms. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation because, at the point control passes to the customer, the customer has legal title and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred, and the customer has present obligation to pay. For certain international customers, deposits are required in advance of shipment. These deposits are reported as contract liabilities until control passes to the customer and revenue is recognized.
The Company’s Distillery Products segment routinely enters into bill and hold arrangements, whereby the Company produces and sells aged and unaged distillate to customers, and the product is barreled at the customer’s request and warehoused at a Company location for an extended period of time in accordance with directions received from the Company’s customers. Even though the aged and unaged distillate remains in the Company’s possession, a sale is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product. Control is transferred to the customer in bill and hold transactions when: customer acceptance specifications have been met, legal title has transferred, the customer has a present obligation to pay for the product, and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Additionally, all of the following bill and hold criteria have to be met in order for control to be transferred to the customer: the reason for the bill and hold arrangement is substantive - the customer has requested the product be warehoused, the product has been identified as separately belonging to the customer, the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.
Warehouse services revenue is recognized over the time that warehouse services are rendered and as they are rendered. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation because control of the aging products has already passed to the customer and there are no additional performance activities required by the Company, except as requested by the customer. The performance of the service activities, as requested, is invoiced as satisfied and revenue is concurrently recognized.
Excise Taxes. The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
of the U.S. Treasury Department (the “TTB”) regulations which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcohol beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its Federal and state excise tax expense based upon units shipped and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.
Recognition of Insurance Recoveries. Estimated loss contingencies are recognized as charges to income when they are probable and reasonably estimable. Insurance recoveries are not recognized until all contingencies related to the insurance claim have been resolved and settlement has been reached with the insurer. Insurance recoveries, to the extent of costs and losses, are reported as a reduction to costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Insurance recoveries, in
10

excess of costs and losses, if any, would be reported as a separate caption in Operating income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Legally committed recovery amounts obtained prior to contingencies being resolved are recorded in Accrued expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is “more likely than not” that at least some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Basic and diluted EPS are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of Common Stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Per share amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each year during the period.
Translation of Foreign Currencies. Assets and liabilities of Niche Drinks Co., Ltd. (“Niche”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using average rates during the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation process are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.
Business Combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed during a business combination are generally recorded at fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized to the extent that the purchase consideration exceeds the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company uses its best estimate and third party valuation specialists to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year after the acquisition date, the Company can make adjustments to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the offset being an adjustment to goodwill.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. The Company records goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in connection with various acquisitions of businesses and allocates the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets to its respective reporting units. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if events and circumstances occur that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. To the extent that the carrying amount exceeds fair value, an impairment of goodwill is recognized. Judgment is required in the determination of reporting units, the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, including goodwill, and the determination of fair value of the reporting units. The Company separately evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. As of June 30, 2021, the Company determined that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based upon the observability of inputs. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company’s short term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts payable. The carrying value of the short term financial instruments approximates the fair value due to their short term nature. These financial instruments have no stated maturities or the financial instruments have short term maturities that approximate market.
The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair value of the Company’s debt was $276,919 and $44,548 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The financial statement carrying value of total debt was $270,391 (including unamortized loan fees) and $39,871 (including unamortized loan fees) at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These fair values are considered Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair value disclosure for deferred compensation plan investments is included in Note 9.
11

Equity Method Investments. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Luxco and its affiliated companies since April 1, 2021, when the Company obtained control through the Merger. The Company holds 50 percent interests in DGL Destiladores, S.de R.L. de C.V. (“DGL”) and Agricola LG, S.de R.L. de C.V. (“Agricola”) (combined “LMX”), which are accounted for as equity method investments since the date of acquisition. At June 30, 2021, the investment in LMX was $5,739, which is recorded in Investment in joint ventures on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $334 loss from our equity method investments, which is recorded in Other income (loss), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates. The Company did not adopt any new Accounting Standard Updates during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Note 2. Revenue
The Company generates revenues from the Distillery Products segment by the sale of products and by providing warehouse services related to the storage and aging of customer products. The Company generates revenues from the Branded Spirits and Ingredient Solutions segments by the sale of products. Revenue related to sales of products is recognized at a point in time whereas revenue generated from warehouse services is recognized over time. Contracts with customers include a single performance obligation (either the sale of products or the provision of warehouse services).
The following table presents the Company’s sales by segment and major products and services:

Note 3. Business Combination
Description of the transaction. On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Luxco, and subsequently completed the merger on April 1, 2021 (the “Merger”). Luxco is a leading branded beverage alcohol company across various categories, with a more than 60-year business heritage. As a result of the Merger, MGP increased its scale and market position in the branded-spirits sector and believes it strengthened its platform for future growth of higher valued-added products.
Following the Merger, the Luxco Companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of MGP and are included within the Branded Spirits segment. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in connection with the Merger was $237,500 in cash (less assumed indebtedness) and 5,007,833 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for fractional shares (the “Company Shares,” and together with the cash portion, the “Merger Consideration”). The Company Shares were valued at $296,213 and represented approximately 22.8 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of the Merger. The Merger Consideration is subject to customary purchase price adjustments, including working capital, a portion of which may be paid in common stock.
The preliminary Merger Consideration will increase or decrease to the extent that actual closing date working capital exceeds or is less than the contractually agreed upon working capital target. In addition, the preliminary Merger Consideration will be increased for any acquired cash. In connection with the closing of the Merger on April 1, 2021, the preliminary purchase price adjustments increased the cash consideration paid by approximately $75 and increased stock consideration by approximately $159.
The cash portion of the Merger Consideration, the repayment of assumed debt, and transaction-related expenses were financed with borrowings under the Company’s existing Credit Agreement which was drawn down on April 1, 2021. See Note 5, Corporate Borrowings, for further details.
For tax purposes, the transaction was structured partially as a tax-free reorganization and partially as a taxable acquisition, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company anticipates the amount transferred in a tax deferred manner, under the tax-free reorganization rules, will not create additional tax basis for the Company. The taxable component of the transaction will create additional tax basis and a corresponding future tax deduction for the Company.
The Merger was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 805 “ASC 805”), Business Combinations, and as such, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon a preliminary assessment of fair value and may change as valuations for certain tangible assets, intangible assets and contingent liabilities are finalized and the associated income tax impacts are determined. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no longer than one year from the acquisition date.

Purchase Price Allocation. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the consideration paid for Luxco to the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill.

Consideration: |
Cash, net of assumed debt | $ | 150,078 |
Value of MGP Common Stock issued at close (a) | 296,372 |
Fair value of total consideration transferred | $ | 446,450 |
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |
Cash | $ | 479 |
Receivables | 29,675 |
Inventory | 90,854 |
Prepaid expenses | 1,454 |
Property, plant and equipment, net | 41,279 |
Investments in joint ventures | 5,085 |
Intangible assets (b) | 219,500 |
Other assets | 4,257 |
Total assets | 392,583 |
Current maturities of long-term debt (c) | 87,497 |
Accounts payable | 14,453 |
Federal and state liquor taxes payable | 8,352 |
Accrued expenses and other | 2,832 |
Other noncurrent liabilities | 784 |
Deferred income taxes | 57,720 |
Total liabilities | 171,638 |
Goodwill | 225,505 |
Total | $ | 446,450 |

(a) The Company issued 5,007,833 shares of MGP Common Stock which was valued at $59.15 per share on April 1, 2021. The value of MGP Common Stock includes the preliminary working capital adjustment of $159.
(b) Intangible assets acquired includes trade names with an estimated fair value of $178,100 and distributor relationships with an estimated fair value of $41,400.
(c) The fair value of Luxco’s debt that was assumed by MGP in the transaction and repaid on the closing date.
In accordance with ASC 805 assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The fair value measurements of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs include discount rates that would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets and liabilities, projections of revenues and cash flows, distributor attrition rates, royalty rates and market comparable, among others. The fair value of work-in-process and finished goods inventory was determined using the comparative sales method and raw materials was determined using the replacement cost method.
Goodwill of $225,505 represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed. No Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Intangible assets acquired includes indefinite-lived intangible assets, trade names, with an estimated fair value of $178,100 and definite-lived intangible assets, distributor relationships, with an estimated fair value of $41,400 and a useful life of 20 years. The trade names and distributor relationships acquired by the Company have been adjusted to the estimated fair values using the relief from royalty method and multi-period earnings method, respectively. Management and a third party valuation team performed a preliminarily valuation analysis to determine the fair value of each trade name and distributor relationship.

| Pro Forma Financial Information
| Quarter Ended June 30, |  | Year to Date Ended June 30,
| 2021 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Sales | $ | 174,939 |  |  | $ | 141,686 |  |  | $ | 349,461 |  |  | $ | 289,894 |
Net income | 28,124 |  |  | 12,589 |  |  | 34,419 |  |  | 15,990 |
Basic and diluted earnings per share | 1.28 |  |  | 0.57 |  |  | 1.56 |  |  | 0.72 |

The pro forma results are adjusted for items that are non-recurring in nature and directly attributable to the Merger, including the income tax effect of the adjustments. Merger related costs incurred by the Company of $6,738 and $8,628 for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, respectively, were excluded and $6,738 is assumed to have been incurred on January 1, 2020. Merger related costs incurred by Luxco of $3,132 were excluded from the year to date ended June 30, 2021 pro forma results. A non-recurring expense of $2,529 for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021 related to the fair value adjustment of finished goods inventory estimated to have been sold was removed and included in the results for the year to date ended June 30, 2020. Other acquired tangible and intangible assets are assumed to be recorded at estimated fair value on January 1, 2020 and are amortized or depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The summary pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only, is based on estimates and assumptions, and does not purport to represent what the Company’s consolidated results of operations actually would have been if the Merger had occurred at an earlier date, and such data does not purport to project the Company’s results of operations for any future period. The basic and diluted shares outstanding used to calculate the pro forma net income per share amounts presented above have been adjusted to assume shares issued at the closing of the Merger were outstanding since January 1, 2020.

Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, the estimated annual effective tax rate is updated and a year to date adjustment is made to the provision. The Company’s quarterly effective tax rate can be subject to significant change due to the effect of discrete items arising in a given quarter. Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, the estimated annual effective tax rate includes both domestic and foreign entities acquired in the Merger. See Note 3, Business Combination, for further details.
Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, was $6,412 and $11,027, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 24.2 percent and 23.7 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, differed from the 21 percent federal statutory rate on pretax income, primarily due to state taxes, income taxes on foreign subsidiaries acquired as a result of the Merger, nondeductible transaction costs, and a change in accounting estimate related to the Company’s state tax credits. The increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate was partially offset by state and federal credits, including income taxes on foreign subsidiaries acquired as a result of the Merger, the deduction applicable to export activity, and a change related to the Company’s valuation allowance related to the ability to use certain state net operating losses carryforward.
Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020, was $2,550 and $5,774, respectively, for an effective tax rate of 23.1 percent and 24.0 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 differed from the 21 percent federal statutory rate on pretax income, primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by state and federal tax credits and the deduction applicable to export activity. The effective tax rate for the year to date ended June 30, 2020, differed from the 21 percent federal statutory rate on pretax income, primarily due to state taxes, estimated increase in the Company’s valuation allowance related to state income tax attributes, and the discrete tax impact of vested share-based awards, partially offset by federal and state credits, the deduction applicable to income derived from export activity.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
There are various legal and regulatory proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company accrues estimated costs for a contingency when management believes that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Dryer Fire Incident. During November 2020, the Company experienced a fire at the Atchison facility. The fire damaged certain equipment in the facility’s feed drying operations and caused temporary loss of production time. At June 30, 2021, the Company received a legally binding commitment from their insurance carrier of $11,300 that was recorded as Receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $6,230 and $9,840, respectively, of partial settlement from its insurance carrier as a reduction of Cost of sales. At June 30, 2021, recorded within Accrued expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is $11,400 related to legally committed insurance recovery amounts obtained prior to contingencies related to the insurance claim being resolved. The Company is working to construct a replacement drying system. The Company’s insurance is expected to provide coverage of any business interruption and other losses from damage to property, plant and equipment, but there can be no assurance to the
18

amount or timing of possible insurance recoveries if ultimately claimed by the Company.
Ransomware Cyber-Attack. In May 2020, the Company was affected by a ransomware cyber-attack that temporarily disrupted production at its Atchison facilities. The Company’s financial information was not affected and there is no evidence that any sensitive or confidential company, supplier, customer or employee data was improperly accessed or extracted from our network. The Company has insurance related to this event and is currently evaluating if it will seek further recovery. Following the attack, MGP implemented a variety of measures to further enhance our cybersecurity protections and minimize the impact of any future attack. The Company’s insurance may cover additional losses from this incident, but there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any possible insurance recoveries if ultimately claimed by the Company.
Shareholder matters. In 2020, two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for District of Kansas, naming the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants, asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiffs seek to pursue claims on behalf of a class consisting of purchasers or acquirers of the Company’s Common Stock during certain specified periods (the “Class Periods”). On May 28, 2020, the two lawsuits were consolidated and the Court appointed City of Miami Fire Fighters’ and Police Officers’ Retirement Trust as lead plaintiff. The consolidated action is captioned In re MGP Ingredients, Inc. Securities Litigation and the file is maintained under Master File No. 2:20-cv-2090-DDCJPO. On July 22, 2020, the Retirement Trust filed a consolidated Amended Complaint. The Consolidated Complaint alleges that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company’s forecasts of sales of aged whiskey, and that, as a result the Company’s Common Stock traded at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Periods. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, costs, and unspecified equitable relief, but have not specified the amount of damages being sought. On September 8, 2020, defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint. The Motion has been fully briefed and remains pending. Discovery is stayed while the motion is pending. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in this action.
On May 11, 2020, Mitchell Dorfman, a shareholder in MGP, filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, under the caption Dorfman, derivatively on behalf of MGP Ingredients v. Griffin, et al., Case 2:20-cv-02239. On June 4, 2020, Justin Carter, a shareholder in MGP, filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, under the caption Carter, derivatively on behalf of MGP Ingredients v. Griffin, et al., Case 2:20-cv-02281. On June 18, 2020, Alexandra Kearns, a shareholder in MGP, filed an action in the District Court of Atchison County, Kansas, under the caption Kearns, derivatively on behalf of MGP Ingredients v. Griffin, et al., Case 2020-CV-000042. The defendants are certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The Company is a nominal defendant in each action. Plaintiffs allege that the Company was damaged as a result of the conduct of the individual defendants alleged in the MGP Ingredients, Inc. Securities Litigation, the repurchase of company stock at artificially inflated prices, and compensation paid to the individual defendants. The Complaint in Dorfman asserts claims for violations of Sections 14(a), 10(b), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The Complaint in Carter asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The Petition in Kearns asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The pleadings pray for an award of compensatory damages, including interest, in favor of the Company, for equitable relief related to the Company’s corporate governance, for disgorgement of compensation, and for an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 13, 2020, defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss in Dorfman. On August 13, 2020, defendants filed a Motion to Stay the Kearns action pending the resolution of Dorfman. On November 3, 2020, the court entered an order providing that Defendants’ response to the Carter Complaint shall be due 14 days after a ruling on the Motion to Dismiss filed in Dorfman.
On March 31, 2021, the Dorfman court issued a Memorandum and Order in which it granted defendants’ Motion to Dismiss plaintiff’s federal claims, dismissed those claims without prejudice, denied without prejudice defendants’ Motion to Dismiss plaintiff’s state claims, and stayed the case pending the Kansas Supreme Court’s decision in Herington v. City of Wichita. Herington involves the issue of whether a federal decision that determines federal claims and dismisses pendent state law claims for lack of supplemental jurisdiction precludes the reassertion of the state law claims in state court. The Kearns court has not yet taken any action in response to the court’s Memorandum and Order in Dorfman. On April 14, 2021, defendants in Carter filed a Motion to dismiss plaintiff’s federal claims and to stay plaintiff’s state claims until fourteen days after the Court rules on the state claims in Dorfman.
On November 25, 2020, Kenneth Laury filed an action in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas under the caption Laury v. MGP Ingredients, Inc., Case Number: 2020-CV-000609. The Petition alleges that plaintiff commenced the action under K.S.A. 17-6510 to enforce his alleged right to inspect books and records of the Company, in order to enable him to evaluate possible misconduct by the Company’s Board of Directors and management. On January 8, 2021, the Company filed an answer to the Petition, denying that plaintiff has satisfied the statutory requirements for his demand. On May 13, 2021, the parties stipulated to the voluntary dismissal, with prejudice, of the action.

2016 Atchison Chemical Release. A chemical release occurred at the Company’s Atchison facility on October 21, 2016, which resulted in emissions venting into the air (“the Atchison Chemical Release”). Private plaintiffs have initiated, and additional private plaintiffs may initiate, legal proceedings for damages resulting from the Atchison Chemical Release, but the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the amount of any such damages that might result. The Company’s insurance is expected to provide coverage of any damages to private plaintiffs, subject to a deductible, but there can be no assurance to the amount or timing of possible insurance recoveries if ultimately claimed by the Company.
Note 9. Employee and Non-Employee Benefit Plans
Equity-Based Compensation Plans. The Company’s equity-based compensation plans provide for the awarding of stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”), and RSUs for senior executives and salaried employees, as well as non-employee directors. The Company has two active equity-based compensation plans: the Employee Equity Incentive Plan of 2014 (the “2014 Plan”) and the Non-Employee Director Equity Incentive Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”).
As of June 30, 2021, 516,861 RSUs had been granted of the 1,500,000 shares approved under the 2014 Plan, and 120,619 shares had been granted of the 300,000 shares approved under the Directors’ Plan. As of June 30, 2021, there were 171,824 unvested RSUs under the Company’s long-term incentive plans and 166,674 were participating securities (Note 7).
Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company established an unfunded Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDC Plan”) effective as of June 30, 2018, with a purpose to attract and retain highly-compensated key employees by providing participants with an opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus, and other specified compensation. The Company’s obligations under this plan will change in conjunction with the performance of the participants’ investments, along with contributions to and withdrawals from the plan. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation plan investments were included as a component of Other income (loss), net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021. For quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, the Company had a gain on deferred compensation plan investments of $246 and $276, respectively. For quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a gain on deferred compensation plan investments of $331 and $167, respectively.
Plan investments are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since the investments trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable the Company to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Participants were able to direct the deferral of a portion of their base salary and a portion of their estimated accrued Short-term incentive plan (“STI Plan”) amounts that were paid during first quarter of the following year. Base salary amounts elected for deferral are deposited into the EDC Plan by the Company on a weekly basis and allocated by participants among Company-determined investment options. STI plan deferral were deposited, at the time of payment, into the EDC Plan by the Company and allocated by participants among Company-determined investment options.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the EDC Plan investments were $3,558 and $2,007, respectively, which were recorded in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The EDC Plan current liabilities were $897 at June 30, 2021 and were included in Accrued expenses and other on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The EDC Plan non-current liabilities were $2,924 and $3,140 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and were included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 10. Operating Segments
As discussed in Note 1, the Company established a new reportable segment structure as a result of the Merger and prior periods have been revised to reflect the new operating segments. At June 30, 2021, the Company had three segments: Distillery Products, Branded Spirits, and Ingredient Solutions. The Distillery Products segment consists of food grade alcohol and distillery co-products, such as distillers feed (commonly called dried distillers grain in the industry) and fuel grade alcohol. The Distillery Products segment also includes warehouse services, including barrel put away, storage, retrieval, and blending services. The Branded Spirits segment consists of producing, importing, bottling and rectifying of distilled spirits. Ingredient Solutions segment consists of specialty starches and proteins and commodity starches and proteins.
Operating profit for each segment is based on sales less identifiable operating expenses. Non-direct selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, other special charges, and other general miscellaneous expenses are excluded from segment operations and are classified as Corporate. Receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, leases, goodwill and intangible assets have been identified with the segments to which they relate. All other assets are considered as Corporate.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding the prospects of our industry and our prospects, plans, financial position, and strategic plan may constitute forward looking statements. In addition, forward looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with such words as “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “hopeful,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “encouraged,” “opportunities,” “potential,” and/or the negatives or variations of these terms or similar terminology. Forward looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward looking statements is included in the section titled “Risk Factors” (Item 1A) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Part II, Item 1A of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Merger with Luxco. On January 22, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Luxco, Inc. and its affiliated companies (“Luxco”, or “Luxco Companies”), and subsequently completed the merger on April 1, 2021. Luxco is a leading branded beverage alcohol company across various categories, with a more than 60-year business heritage. Following the merger, the Luxco Companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of MGP and are included in the Branded Spirits segment.(Note 3, Business Combination for additional information).
Dryer Fire Incident. During November 2020, we experienced a fire at the Atchison facility. The fire damaged certain equipment in the facility’s feed drying operations and caused temporary loss of production time. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a $6,230 and $9,840, respectively, partial settlement from our insurance carrier as a reduction of Cost of sales. We are working to construct a replacement drying system. Our insurance is expected to provide coverage of any business interruption and other losses from damage to property, plant and equipment, less deductibles, but there can be no assurance to the amount or timing of possible insurance recoveries if ultimately claimed by the Company.
COVID-19. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are monitoring the guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities and will take the necessary actions to comply with the updated guidelines. The Company’s business is part of the United States’ critical infrastructure and thus is deemed to be an “essential business.” As such, we continue to take the necessary and appropriate actions designed to protect our workforce as it continues its critical operations. We have continued to operate without any significant negative impacts; however this could be effected by voluntary or mandatory temporary closures of our facilities, interruptions to our supply chain or additional efforts to protect the health and safety of our employees. As of the date of this report, the Company’s operations, supply chain and customer demand have not been significantly affected by COVID-19; however, we are monitoring the situation closely.
OVERVIEW
MGP is a leading producer and supplier of premium distilled spirits, branded spirits and food ingredients. Distilled spirits include premium bourbon and rye whiskeys and grain neutral spirits (“GNS”), including vodka and gin.

(a) Percentage points (“pp”).
Sales - Sales for quarter ended June 30, 2021 were $174,939, an increase of 89.0 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, which was the result of increased sales in the Branded Spirits, Distillery Products, and Ingredient Solutions segments. Within the Branded Spirits segment, sales were up 15,635.9 percent, due to the additional brands acquired as part of the Merger. Within the Distillery Products segment, sales were up 20.8 percent, primarily due to an increase in the sales of brown goods within premium beverage alcohol. Within the Ingredient Solutions segment, sales were up 39.1 percent, primarily due to increased sales of specialty wheat starches and proteins (see Segment Results).
Gross profit - Gross profit for quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $56,827, an increase of 174.5 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by an increase in gross profit in Branded Spirits, Distillery Products and Ingredient Solutions segments.

Total sales of Distillery Products for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased by $15,543, or 20.8 percent, compared to the prior year quarter. Sales of brown goods within premium beverage alcohol, fuel grade alcohol, white goods within premium beverage alcohol and warehouse services increased while industrial alcohol, and distillers feed and related co-products decreased compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in sales of brown goods was driven by higher sales volume. The increase in fuel grade alcohol was driven by higher average selling price as well as higher sales volume. The increase in white goods was primarily driven by higher average selling price. These increases were offset by a decrease in sales of industrial alcohol which was driven by lower sales volume due to the discontinuing of the ICP third party sales and marketing services, partially offset by higher average selling price. The decrease in sales of distillers feed and related co-products was due to lower average selling price, partially offset by higher sales volume, both of which are results of the Dryer Fire Incident (see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies for further details).
Gross profit increased quarter versus quarter by $16,131, or 101.7 percent. Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased to 35.4 percent from 21.2 percent for the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume on brown goods as well as higher average selling price on industrial alcohol, white goods and fuel grade alcohol. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by higher input costs of industrial alcohol and white goods.

Total sales of Distillery Products for year to date ended June 30, 2021 increased by $24,653, or 16.0 percent compared to the year-ago period. Sales of brown goods within premium beverage alcohol, fuel grade alcohol, white goods within premium beverage alcohol and warehouse services increased while industrial alcohol, and distillers feed and related co-products decreased compared to the year-ago period. The increase in sales of brown goods was driven by higher sales volume. The increase in sales of fuel grade alcohol was driven by higher average selling price and higher sales volume. The increase in sales of white goods was primarily a result of higher average selling price, partially offset by lower sales volume. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of industrial alcohol which was driven by lower sales volume due to the discontinuing of the ICP third party sales and marketing services, partially offset by higher average selling price. The decrease in sales of distillers feed and related co-products was due to lower average selling price, partially offset by higher sales volume, both of which are results of the Dryer Fire Incident (see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies for further details).
Gross profit for year to date ended June 30, 2021 increased by $26,317, or 77.6 percent compared to the year-ago period. Gross margin for year to date ended June 30, 2021 increased to 33.7 percent from 22.0 percent for the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher sales volume on brown goods as well as higher average selling price on industrial alcohol, white goods and fuel grade alcohol. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by higher input costs of industrial alcohol, white goods and brown goods.

CASH FLOW, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
We believe our financial condition continues to be of high quality, as evidenced by our ability to generate adequate cash from operations while having ready access to capital at competitive rates.
Operating cash flow and debt through our Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement (Note 5) provide the primary sources of cash to fund operating needs and capital expenditures. These same sources of cash are used to fund shareholder dividends and other discretionary uses. Our overall liquidity reflects our strong business results and an effective cash management strategy that takes into account liquidity management, economic factors, and tax considerations. We expect our sources of cash, including our Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement, to be adequate to provide for budgeted capital expenditures and anticipated operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

Investments in property, plant and equipment were $18,336 and $10,177 for year to date ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Adjusted for the change in capital expenditures in accounts payable for year to date ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, of $(3,375) and $(3,865), respectively, total capital expenditures were $14,961 and $6,312, respectively.
We expect approximately $51,500 in capital expenditures in 2021, excluding any insurance recoveries. Of the $51,500 expected capital expenditures $31,400 is allocated for the replacement of the feed dryer system. The remainder is for facility improvement and expansion, facility sustenance projects, and environmental health and safety projects.

Long-Term and Short-Term Debt. We maintain debt levels we consider appropriate after evaluating a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for ongoing operations, investment and financing plans (including brand development and share repurchase activities) and the overall cost of capital. Total debt was $270,391 (net of unamortized loan fees of $1,825) at June 30, 2021, and $39,871 (net of unamortized loan fees of $129) at December 31, 2020.
Financial Condition and Liquidity. Our principal uses of cash in the ordinary course of business are for input costs used in our production processes, salaries, capital expenditures, and investments supporting our strategic plan, such as the aging of barreled distillate. Generally, during periods when commodities prices are rising, our operations require increased use of cash to support inventory levels.
Our principal sources of cash are product sales and borrowing on our Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement. Under our Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement, we must meet certain financial covenants and restrictions, and at June 30, 2021, we met those covenants and restrictions.
At June 30, 2021, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $270,203, largely due to our inventories, at cost, of $232,292. At June 30, 2021, our cash balance was $37,243 and we have used our Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement for liquidity purposes, with $168,000 remaining for additional borrowings. We anticipate being able to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs largely through cash generated from operations. We regularly assess our cash needs and the available sources to fund these needs. While we currently believe we are well positioned with our credit agreement, we will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and liquidity needs. We utilize short-term and long-term debt to fund discretionary items, such as capital investments and dividend payments. In addition, we have strong operating results such that financial institutions should provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements, if needed.
On April 1, 2021, the Company completed the merger with Luxco. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company in connection with the merger was $237,500 in cash (less assumed indebtedness) and 5,007,833 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for fractional shares (the “Company Shares,” and together with the cash portion, the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration is subject to customary purchase price adjustments, including working capital, a portion of which may be paid in common stock. The cash portion of the Merger Consideration, the repayment of assumed debt and transaction-related expenses were financed with a $242,300 borrowing under the Credit Agreement. We anticipate having sufficient cash flows to support our short-term liquidity and operating needs.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to commodity price and interest rate market risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results.
Commodity Costs. Certain commodities we use in our production process, or input costs, expose us to market price risk due to volatility in the prices for those commodities. Through our grain supply contracts for our Atchison and Lawrenceburg facilities, our wheat flour supply contract for our Atchison facility, and our natural gas contracts for both facilities, we purchase grain, wheat flour, and natural gas, respectively, for delivery from one to 24 months into the future at negotiated prices. We have determined that the firm commitments to purchase grain, wheat flour, and natural gas under the terms of our supply contracts meet the normal purchases and sales exception as defined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging, because the quantities involved are for amounts to be consumed within the normal expected production process.
Interest Rate Exposures. Our Credit Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement (Note 5) expose us to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Established procedures and internal processes govern the management of this market risk.
Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. Based on weighted average outstanding variable-rate borrowings at June 30, 2021, a 100 basis point increase over the non-default rates actually in effect at such date would increase our interest expense on an annualized basis by $2,401. Based on weighted average outstanding fixed-rate borrowings at June 30, 2021, a 100 basis point increase in market rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate debt of $1,468, and a 100 basis point decrease in market rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate debt of $1,544.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the quarter ended June 30, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. On April 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Luxco, Inc. and its affiliated companies (“Luxco”). We are currently integrating Luxco into our operations and internal control processes and, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretative guidance that assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting at June 30, 2021 does not include Luxco.
Changes in Internal Controls. Except for internal controls related to integration activities associated with our acquisition of Luxco, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
