<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Sacramento, CA, October 29, 2014 &ndash;
Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEIX)</B>, the leading producer and marketer of low-carbon renewable fuels in the Western United
States, reported its financial results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;We delivered solid financial results
for the third quarter of 2014, supported by efficient operations and continued strong ethanol market fundamentals,&rdquo; stated
Neil Koehler, the company&rsquo;s president and CEO. &ldquo;Over the last twelve months, Pacific Ethanol generated adjusted EBITDA
of $96.9 million. To sustain our profitable growth, we are implementing several capital expenditure projects to improve efficiencies,
diversify feedstock and develop our advanced biofuel initiatives.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Net sales were $275.6 million, an increase
of 18%, compared to $233.9 million for the third quarter of 2013. The company&rsquo;s increase in net sales is attributable to
its record total gallons sold resulting from increases in both production and third party gallons.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Gross profit was $18.0 million, compared
to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. The improvement in gross profit was driven by significantly improved production
margins and corn oil production.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Selling, general and administrative (&ldquo;SG&amp;A&rdquo;)
expenses were $4.4 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. The increase in SG&amp;A is primarily due to
an increase in compensation costs tied to the company&rsquo;s continued profitable results and an increase in professional fees
from higher corporate and plant activities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Operating income was $13.6 million, compared

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Fair value adjustments and warrant inducements
were $4.4 million, including $1.5 million in warrant inducements in July 2014, as well as $2.9 million in adjustments for intra-quarter
warrant exercises. As of October 29<SUP>th</SUP>, the company had less than one million warrants remaining outstanding.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Interest expense, net, was $1.1 million,
compared to $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. This reduction is due to significantly lower debt balances in 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B><U>Use of Non-GAAP Measures</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Management believes that certain financial
measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (&ldquo;GAAP&rdquo;) are useful measures of operations.
The company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as unaudited earnings before fair value adjustments and warrant inducements and
gain (loss) on extinguishments of debt. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as unaudited net income (loss) attributed to Pacific
Ethanol before interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments and warrant inducements
and noncash gain (loss) on extinguishments of debt. Tables are provided at the end of this release that provide a reconciliation
of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management provides these non-GAAP
measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses, which may assist investors in properly
assessing the company&rsquo;s performance on a period-over-period basis. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are not
measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or any other measure
of performance under GAAP, or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or
as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and you should
not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company&rsquo;s results as reported under GAAP.</P>
