Alto Ingredients, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

 

- Reflecting Improvement in All Segments, Gross Profit of $23 Million Increased $18 Million,
Net Income of $14 Million, or $0.19 per Share, Improved $17 Million and
Adj. EBITDA of $21 Million Grew $9 Million Compared to Q3 2024 -

 

Pekin, Ill., November 5, 2025 – Alto Ingredients, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTO), a leading producer and distributor of specialty alcohols, renewable fuels and essential ingredients, reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 

“Our 2025 initiatives to target high-return market segments, boost operational efficiency and achieve cost savings have strengthened our financial position,” commented Bryon McGregor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alto Ingredients. “In the third quarter of 2025, we delivered robust improvements in all of our business segments, reflecting increased renewable fuel export sales, greater demand for liquid CO2, and the continued positive effects of our cost reduction efforts, including rationalizing unprofitable business activities. Gross profit was $23 million, increasing $18 million; net income was $14 million, improving $17 million; and Adjusted EBITDA was $21 million, growing $9 million, compared to the third quarter of 2024.

 

“We continue to adjust our product mix to manage evolving market conditions while prioritizing projects based on cost, timing and ROI. Our 2025 Carbonic acquisition and related investments are expanding our CO2 utilization to capture the growing demand for premium liquid CO2. We have also increased our fuel ethanol production and sales volumes in response to higher export demand and better pricing. We remain confident in our ability to generate Section 45Z tax credits on domestic renewable fuel sales, and we are evaluating additional methods of lowering our carbon intensity to further boost tax credit values. Our disciplined approach and focus on near-term, high-return initiatives continue to drive incremental profitability and position us for growth and improved performance.”

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 EBITDA as unaudited consolidated net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, asset impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, acquisition-related expense and depreciation and amortization expense. A table is provided at the end of this release that provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss). Management provides this non-GAAP measure 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 EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative 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 EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
