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,” or “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. The Company’s distilled spirits are either packaged and sold under its 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 consumer packaged goods industry. The Company’s 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”), 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.
The Company reports three operating segments: Distilling Solutions, Branded Spirits and Ingredient Solutions. During 2022, the Company changed the name of its Distillery Products segment to Distilling Solutions. Certain amounts in the 2021 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority 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 and year to date ended September 30, 2022, 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, 2021, 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 a 60 percent interest in Dos Primos Tequila, LLC (“Dos Primos”). The Company consolidated Dos Primos’ activity on the financial statements and presented 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 the COVID-19 pandemic. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop as forecast, and estimates routinely require adjustment and may require material adjustment.

Immaterial Correction to Prior Period Financial Statements. During the year to date ended September 30, 2022, the Company identified an immaterial correction related to gross amounts of Property, plant and equipment and Accumulated depreciation and amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. The Company performed a materiality assessment, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors, which resulted in the determination that the correction to the financial statements was immaterial. As such, the Company corrected the December 31, 2021 gross balances for Property, plant, and equipment and Accumulated depreciation and amortization on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reported in this Form 10-Q by equal and offsetting amounts, which resulted in no change to the balance of Property, plant, and equipment, net.
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. Bourbons and whiskeys, included in inventory, 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. Inventory consists of the following:

|  | September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Finished goods |  | $ | 49,008 |  |  | $ | 35,362 |
Barreled distillate (bourbons and whiskeys) |  | 185,681 |  |  | 174,080 |
Raw materials |  | 27,496 |  |  | 24,981 |
Work in process |  | 1,581 |  |  | 1,261 |
Maintenance materials |  | 10,020 |  |  | 9,179 |
Other |  | 1,692 |  |  | 1,081 |
Total |  | $ | 275,478 |  |  | $ | 245,944 |

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services 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.
The Company’s Distilling Solutions 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: the 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. Contract bottling is recognized over the time contract bottling services are rendered and as they are rendered.
10

Sales in the Branded Spirits segment reflect reductions attributable to consideration given to customers in incentive programs, including discounts and allowances for certain volume targets. These allowances and discounts are not for distinct goods and are paid only when the depletion volume targets are achieved by the customer. The amounts reimbursed to customers are determined based on agreed-upon amounts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
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.
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 Common Share (“EPS”). Basic and diluted EPS is 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. Basic EPS amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed using the if-converted method by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, inclusive of the impact of the Convertible Senior Notes, except for where the result would be anti-dilutive as of the balance sheet date.
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 value of 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 September 30, 2022, 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.
11

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 $178,062 and $272,971 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The financial statement carrying value of total debt was $231,051 (including unamortized loan fees) and $233,399 (including unamortized loan fees) at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, Employee and Non-Employee Benefit Plans. See Note 3, Business Combination, for discussion related to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the merger with Luxco.
Equity Method Investments. 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 and are considered affiliates of the Company. The investment in LMX, which is recorded in Investment in joint ventures on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $6,140 and $4,944 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a loss of $856 and $405 from our equity method investments, respectively, which is recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

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, Luxco became a wholly owned subsidiary of MGP and is 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 was subject to customary purchase price adjustments related to, among other things, net working capital, acquired cash and assumed debt. The consideration paid at closing included a preliminary estimated purchase price adjustment. In September 2021, the parties finalized the purchase price adjustment, which decreased the cash consideration paid by approximately $608 and increased stock consideration by an additional 1,373 shares from the preliminary amounts that were paid at closing.
13

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 amount transferred in a tax deferred manner, under the tax-free reorganization rules, did not create additional tax basis for the Company. The taxable component of the transaction created additional tax basis and a corresponding future tax deduction for the Company.
Purchase Price Allocation. The Merger was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and as such, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the allocation of the consideration paid for Luxco to the 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 | $ | 149,484 |
Value of MGP Common Stock issued at close (a) | 296,279 |
Fair value of total consideration transferred | $ | 445,763 |
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) | 87,509 |
Accounts payable | 14,453 |
Federal and state excise taxes payable | 8,352 |
Accrued expenses and other | 2,832 |
Other noncurrent liabilities | 196 |
Deferred income taxes | 57,034 |
Total liabilities | 170,376 |
Goodwill | 223,556 |
Total | $ | 445,763 |

(a) On April 1, 2021, the Company issued 5,007,833 shares of MGP Common Stock which was valued at $59.15 per share. In September 2021, the parties finalized the purchase price adjustments which increased stock consideration by an additional 1,373 shares from the preliminary amounts that were paid at closing.
(b) Intangible assets acquired included 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 comparables, 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. The fair value of personal property assets was determined using the market approach and the indirect and direct method of the cost approach, and the fair value of real property was determined using the
14

cost approach and the sales comparison approach.
Goodwill of $223,556, none of which is deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed. The Intangible assets acquired included 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 recorded at the estimated fair values using the relief from royalty method and multi-period earnings method, respectively. Management engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist in the valuation analysis of certain acquired assets including trade names and distributor relationships.
Pro Forma Information. The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma financial results for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2021, as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020:

| Pro Forma Financial Information
| Quarter Ended September 30, |  | Year to Date Ended September 30,
| 2021 |  | 2021
Sales | $ | 176,611 |  |  | $ | 504,243 |
Net income | 23,673 |  |  | 68,934 |
Basic and diluted earnings per common share | 1.08 |  |  | 3.38 |

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 $294 and $8,922 for the quarter
and year to date ended September 30, 2021, respectively, were excluded and $7,032 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 September 30, 2021 pro forma results. A non-recurring expense of $2,529 for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2021 related to the fair value adjustment of finished goods inventory estimated to have been sold was removed. 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 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets. The Company has a definite-lived intangible asset which was acquired as a result of the Merger. The distributor relationships have a carrying value of $38,295, net of accumulated amortization of $3,105. The distributor relationships have a useful life of 20 years. The amortization expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022 was $518 and $1,553, respectively, and the amortization expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2021 was $517 and $1,035, respectively.

2023 | 2,070 |
2024 | 2,070 |
2025 | 2,070 |
2026 | 2,070 |
Thereafter | 29,498 |
Total | $ | 38,295 |

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 September 30, 2022, was $7,533 and $26,037 for an effective tax rate of 24.2 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022 differed from the 21 percent federal statutory rate on pretax income primarily due to state and foreign income taxes, partially offset by state and federal tax credits, and the deduction applicable to export activity. The increase in Income tax expense for the year to date ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to higher Income before income taxes as compared to the prior year periods.
Income tax expense for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2021, was $7,674 and $18,701 for an effective tax rate of 24.5 percent and 24.0 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date ended September 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, partially offset by state and federal credits and the deduction applicable to 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.
Shareholder matters. 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 K earns, derivatively on behalf of MGP Ingredients v. Griffin, et al., Case 2020-CV-000042. The defendants were certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The Company was a nominal defendant in each action. Plaintiffs alleged that the Company was damaged as a result of the commencement of securities litigation against defendants, the repurchase of Company stock at artificially inflated prices, and compensation paid to the individual defendants. The Complaint in Dorfman asserted 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 asserted 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 asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment. The pleadings prayed 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 August 31, 2021, the court dismissed with prejudice the securities litigation on which some of the derivative claims were based. On January 4, 2022, the court dismissed the Carter action. On January 11, 2022, the court dismissed the Dorfman action. On February 2, 2022, the plaintiffs and defendants entered into a stipulation of dismissal of the Kearns action. The federal claims alleged in Carter were dismissed with prejudice. All other derivative claims were dismissed without prejudice.
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 initiated legal proceedings against the Company for damages resulting from the Atchison Chemical Release. The Company reached a settlement with the plaintiffs in December 2021 and the legal proceedings were dismissed with prejudice in January 2022.
Note 9. Employee and Non-Employee Benefit Plans
Share-Based Compensation Plans. The Company’s share-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”).
19

As of September 30, 2022, 585,353 RSUs had been granted of the 1,500,000 shares approved under the 2014 Plan, and 130,982 shares had been granted of the 300,000 shares approved under the Directors’ Plan. As of September 30, 2022, there were 178,608 unvested RSUs under the Company’s long-term incentive plans and 176,398 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 (expense), net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022. For quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, the Company had a loss on deferred compensation plan investments of $103 and $931, respectively. For quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss on deferred compensation plan investments of $15 and for the year to date ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a gain on deferred compensation plan investments of $261.
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 the 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 amounts are deposited, at the time of payment, into the EDC Plan by the Company and allocated by participants among Company-determined investment options.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the EDC Plan investments were $2,510 and $3,072, respectively, which were recorded in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The EDC Plan current liabilities were $617 at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which were included in Accrued expenses and other on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The EDC Plan non-current liabilities were $2,310 and $2,981 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and were included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 10. Operating Segments
At September 30, 2022, the Company had three segments: Distilling Solutions, Branded Spirits, and Ingredient Solutions. The Distilling Solutions 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 Distilling Solutions 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.

(a) Percentage points (“pp”).
Sales - Sales for quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $201,146, an increase of 14 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, which was the result of increased sales in the Distilling Solutions, Ingredient Solutions and Branded Spirits segments. Within the Distilling Solutions segment, sales were up 19 percent, primarily due to an increase in the sales of brown goods within premium beverage alcohol and distillers feed and related co-products. Within the Ingredient Solutions segment, sales were up 24 percent, primarily due to increased sales of specialty wheat starches and commodity wheat starches. Within the Branded Spirits segment, sales were up 2 percent, primarily due to increased sales of brands in the ultra premium price tier (see Segment Results).
Gross profit - Gross profit for quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $59,048, an increase of 3 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by an increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits and Ingredient Solutions segments, partially offset by a decrease in Distilling Solutions segment gross profit. In the Branded Spirits segment, gross profit increased by $1,850, or 8 percent. In the Ingredient Solutions segment, gross profit increased by $1,176, or 17 percent. In the Distilling Solutions segment, gross profit declined by $1,064, or 4 percent (see Segment Results).
Advertising and promotion expenses - Advertising and promotion expenses for quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $7,279, an increase of 29 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by increased advertising and promotion investment in the Branded Spirits segment, specifically in the ultra premium, super premium and premium price tiers.
SG&A expenses - SG&A expenses for quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $17,904, a decrease of 3 percent compared to the year-ago quarter, primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense and one-time acquisition costs in 2021 related to the Merger with Luxco that did not recur in 2022.
23

Operating income - Operating income for quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased to $33,864 from $32,884 for quarter ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits and Ingredient Solutions segments as well as a decrease in the previously described SG&A expenses. These were partially offset by an increase in the previously described Advertising and promotion expenses and a decrease in gross profit in the Distilling Solutions segment.

Income tax expense - Income tax expense for quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $7,533, for an effective tax rate of 24.2 percent. Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $7,674, for an effective tax rate of 24.5 percent. The decrease in Income tax expense, quarter versus quarter, was due primarily to lower Income before income taxes. The decrease in effective tax rate, quarter versus quarter, was due primarily to favorable tax benefits, related to certain tax credits concerning our capital spend.
Earnings per common share (“EPS”) - Basic EPS was $1.07 for quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1.08 for quarter ended September 30, 2021. The change in Basic EPS, quarter versus quarter, was primarily due to a change in Other income (expense), net and a change in interest expense, net, partially offset by an increase in Operating income. Dilutive EPS was $1.06 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1.08 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The change in Diluted EPS, quarter versus quarter, was primarily due to the same changes as Basic EPS as well as the impact of dilutive shares outstanding.

(a) Percentage points (“pp”).
Sales - Sales for year to date ended September 30, 2022 were $591,363, an increase of 29 percent compared to the year-ago period, which was the result of increased sales in the Distilling Solutions, Branded Spirits and Ingredient Solutions segments. Within the Distilling Solutions segment, sales were up 21 percent, primarily due to an increase in the sales of brown goods within premium beverage alcohol and distillers feed and related co-products. Within the Branded Spirits segment, sales were up 44 percent, primarily due to the additional brands acquired as part of the April 1, 2021 Merger. Within the Ingredient Solutions segment, sales were up 29 percent, primarily due to increased sales of specialty wheat starches and proteins, and commodity wheat starches (see Segment Results).
Gross profit - Gross profit for year to date ended September 30, 2022 was $190,093, an increase of 30 percent compared to the year-ago period. The increase was driven by an increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits, Distilling Solutions, and Ingredient Solutions segments. In the Branded Spirits segment, gross profit increased by $29,072, or 70 percent. In the Distilling Solutions segment, gross profit increased by $7,419, or 9 percent. In the Ingredient Solutions segment, gross profit increased by $7,390, or 43 percent (see Segment Results).
Advertising and promotion expenses - Advertising and promotion expenses for year to date ended September 30, 2022 were $18,848, an increase of 91 percent compared to the year-ago period, primarily driven by the assumption of Luxco’s Advertising and promotion expenses as well as increased advertising and promotion investment in the Branded Spirits segment, specifically in the ultra premium, super premium and premium price tiers.
SG&A expenses - SG&A expenses for year to date ended September 30, 2022 were $52,029, a decrease of 6 percent compared to the year-ago period. The decrease in SG&A expenses was driven primarily by the one-time acquisition costs in 2021 related to the Merger with Luxco that did not recur in 2022, partially offset by the assumption of Luxco’s SG&A expenses.
Operating income - Operating income for year to date ended September 30, 2022 increased to $119,250 from $81,047 for year to date period ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in gross profit in the Branded Spirits, Distilling Solutions, and Ingredient Solutions segments as well as a decrease in the previously described SG&A expenses. These were partially offset by an increase in the previously described Advertising and promotion expenses.

Total sales of Distilling Solutions for quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased by $17,600, or 19 percent, compared to the prior year quarter. Sales of brown goods within premium beverage alcohol, distillers feed and related co-products, warehouse services, and fuel grade alcohol increased while industrial alcohol and white goods within premium beverage alcohol decreased compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in sales of brown goods was driven by higher sales volume. The increase in sales of distillers feed and related co-products was due to higher average selling price, partially offset by lower sales volumes, both of which primarily resulted from the previously disclosed dryer fire at our Atchison facility which occurred in 2020. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of industrial alcohol and white goods which were driven primarily by lower sales volume, partially offset by higher average selling price.
Gross profit decreased quarter versus quarter by $1,064, or 4 percent. Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 decreased to 23.9 percent from 29.6 percent for the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to higher input costs for white goods and industrial alcohol. The average selling price for these products also increased, but not enough to offset the higher input costs. This decrease in gross profit was partially offset by an increase in brown goods gross profit.

Total sales of Branded Spirits for quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased by $1,200, or 2 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Sales increased primarily due to an increase in the ultra premium price tier due primarily to increased sales of American whiskey brands as well as an increase in the other tier due to timing of certain contracted private label sales. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of brands within the mid price tier as a result of a change in the product mix towards more premium brands as well as the re-opening of on-premise locations during the prior year period.
Gross profit increased quarter versus quarter by $1,850, or 8 percent. Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased to 39.9 percent from 37.7 percent for the prior year quarter. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by increased sales volume and higher average selling price of brands within the ultra premium price tier. These increases were partially offset by increased inputs costs in the mid and value price tier categories.

The cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $86,361, adjustments for non-cash or non-operating charges of $20,503, including depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation, partially offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $34,611. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were $30,599 use of cash related to an increase in inventories, primarily due to an increase in finished goods inventory and barreled distillate, as well as $15,582 use of cash related to increased accounts receivables, net due to increased sales during the year to date period, as well as timing of customer payments. These uses of cash were partially offset, primarily by $12,613 cash provided by an increase in accounts payable.
Cash provided by operating activities for year to date ended September 30, 2021 was $70,785. The cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from net income of $59,159, adjustments for non-cash or non-operating charges of $19,149, including depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation, as well as cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $7,523. The primary drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities, excluding the asset and liability balances acquired as part of the Merger, were $7,588 use of cash related to an increase in inventories, primarily barreled distillate, $6,678 use of cash related to a decrease in accounts payable, and $5,593 use of cash related to accounts receivables, net due to increased sales during the quarter as well as an increase in insurance recoveries receivable. These uses of cash were partially offset by $15,859 cash provided by accrued expenses and other primarily related to legally committed insurance recovery amounts obtained prior to contingencies related to the insurance claim being resolved.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for year to date ended September 30, 2022 was $31,764, which primarily resulted from additions to property, plant and equipment of $29,217 (see Capital Spending). Cash used in investing activities for year to date ended September 30, 2021 was $189,166, which primarily resulted from $149,613 related to the Merger with Luxco, and additions to property, plant and equipment of $37,257 (see Capital Spending).

Capital Spending. We manage capital spending to support our business growth plans. We have incurred $28,524 and $33,882 of capital expenditures and have paid $29,217 and $37,257 for capital expenditures for year to date ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The difference between the amount of capital expenditures incurred and amount paid is due to the change in capital expenditures in accounts payable. We expect approximately $47,200 in capital expenditures in 2022, which will be used for facility improvement and expansion, facility sustaining projects, and environmental health and safety projects.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for year to date ended September 30, 2022 was $11,301, due to payments of dividends and dividend equivalents of $7,984 (see Dividends and Dividend Equivalents), net payments on debt of $2,603 (see Long-Term and Short-Term Debt) and purchases of treasury stock of $714 (see Treasury Purchases).
Cash provided by financing activities for year to date ended September 30, 2021 was $112,883, due to net proceeds from debt of $208,521 (see Long-term and Short-term Debt), partially offset by $87,509 payment on assumed debt as part of the Merger, payments of dividends and dividend equivalents of $7,362 (see Dividends and Dividend Equivalents) and purchases of treasury stock of $767 (see Treasury Purchases).
Treasury Purchases. 29,366 RSUs vested and converted to common shares for employees during year to date ended September 30, 2022, of which we withheld and purchased for treasury 9,027 shares valued at $714 to cover payment of associated withholding taxes.
38,059 RSUs vested and converted to common shares for employees during year to date ended September 30, 2021, of which we withheld and purchased for treasury 11,885 shares valued at $767 to cover payment of associated withholding taxes.
Share Repurchases. On February 25, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a $25,000 share repurchase authorization commencing February 27, 2019, through February 27, 2022. The Company did not repurchase any shares during 2022 prior to the expiration of the program on February 27, 2022.

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 $231,051 (net of unamortized loan fees of $6,199) at September 30, 2022, and $233,399 (net of unamortized loan fees of $6,454) at December 31, 2021.

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 and potential mergers and acquisitions. 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 various debt agreements. Under our debt agreements, we must meet certain financial covenants and restrictions, and at September 30, 2022, we met those covenants and restrictions.
At September 30, 2022, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $339,853, largely due to our inventories, at cost, of $275,478. At September 30, 2022, our cash balance was $50,674 and we have used our various debt agreements for liquidity purposes, with $400,000 under our Credit Agreement remaining for additional borrowings and up to $120,000 potentially available under the Note Purchase Agreement. 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. We utilize short-term and long-term debt to fund discretionary items, such as capital investments, dividend payments as well as potential mergers and acquisitions. Subject to market conditions, we could also fund future mergers and acquisitions through the issuance of additional shares of common stock. In addition, we have strong operating results such that we believe financial institutions should provide sufficient credit funding to meet short-term financing requirements, if needed.
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 various debt agreements (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 under our variable interest rate debt 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 under variable interest rate debt during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. Based on weighted average outstanding variable-rate borrowings at September 30, 2022, a 100 basis point increase over the current rates actually in effect at such date would have a minimal impact on interest expense. Based on weighted average outstanding fixed-rate borrowings at September 30, 2022, a 100 basis point increase in market rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate debt of $28,936, 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 $38,728.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2022, 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.
