Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (Nasdaq:PEIX), the leading
producer and marketer of low-carbon renewable fuels in the Western
United States, reported its financial results for the three- and
six-months ended June 30, 2014.
Neil Koehler, the company's president and CEO, stated: "Our
strong second quarter results reflect favorable market conditions
and our on-going initiatives to improve plant efficiencies. We
repositioned our company for profitable growth in the past few
years by reacquiring and maintaining our production assets while
improving our balance sheet. Going forward, we will focus on
leveraging our production and marketing advantages to further
increase profitability and expand our share of the growing market
for low-carbon renewable fuels."
Financial Results for the Three Months
Ended June 30, 2014
Net sales were $321.1 million, an increase of 37.4%, compared to
$233.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. The company's
increase in net sales is attributable to its record total gallons
sold resulting from increases in both production and third party
gallons.
Gross profit was $33.6 million, compared to $7.0 million for the
second quarter of 2013. The improvement in gross profit was driven
by significantly improved production margins and corn oil
production.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were
$4.3 million, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of
2013. The increase in SG&A is primarily due to an increase in
compensation costs tied to the company's continued profitable
results and an increase in professional fees from higher corporate
activity.
Operating income was $29.3 million, compared to $3.8 million for
the second quarter of 2013.
Interest expense, net, was $2.9 million, which included a
one-time expense of approximately $0.9 million related to
accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees and debt
discounts on early retired debt. Interest expense, net, was $4.0
million for the second quarter of 2013.
The company recorded a loss of $2.4 million on the early
extinguishment of $14.7 million in debt during the quarter.
Net income available to common stockholders was $15.3 million,
or $0.68 per diluted share, which includes an income tax provision
of $7.2 million. Net income available to common stockholders for
the second quarter of 2013 was $0.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted
share.
Adjusted net income, which excludes fair value adjustments and
warrant inducements and gain (loss) on extinguishments of debt, was
$17.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted
net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA was $27.8 million, compared to $6.6 million for
the second quarter of 2013.
Cash at June 30, 2014 was $25.9 million, compared to $5.2
million at December 31, 2013. Cash at July 29, 2014 was $48.0
million following $19.7 million of warrant exercises in July.
Bryon McGregor, the company's CFO, stated: "During the second
quarter, we made significant strides in further improving our
balance sheet and liquidity to position us for continued growth. We
raised net proceeds of approximately $26.0 million through an
underwritten public offering, eliminated all indebtedness at the
parent company level and we reduced our net consolidated plant term
debt to $17.0 million. Since quarter-end, we also raised
approximately $19.7 million from the exercise of warrants, leaving
us with warrants outstanding to purchase only 1.6 million shares of
common stock. This drop in warrants outstanding will reduce GAAP
earnings volatility in future quarters."
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended
June 30, 2014
Net sales were $575.7 million, compared to $459.3 million in the
same period of 2013.
Net income available to common stockholders was $4.1 million,
compared to loss of $5.0 million in the same period of 2013.
Adjusted net income was $41.8 million, or $2.04 per diluted
share, compared to an adjusted net loss of $6.6 million, or $0.63
per diluted share, for the same period of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA was $63.2 million, compared to $6.9 million for
the same period of 2013.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Management believes that certain financial measures not in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
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 earnings 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'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's results as reported under GAAP.
