EX-99.1 2 ea030066901ex99-1.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED AUGUST 5, 2026

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

 

Alto Ingredients, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

 

Q2 2026 Gross Profit of $16.6 Million Increased $18.6 Million
Q2 2026 Net Income of $11.4 Million, or $0.15 per Share, Improved $22.7 Million
Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA of $23.7 Million Improved $23.9 Million

 

Pekin, Ill., August 5, 2026 – Alto Ingredients, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTO), a leading producer and distributor of renewable fuels, essential ingredients and specialty alcohols, reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

 

“Alto’s second quarter results mark the fourth consecutive quarter of positive gross profit, income from operations, net income and adjusted EBITDA. We have maintained consistent profitability over this period even before the contribution of earnings from 45Z tax credits. These results demonstrate the benefits of our diversification strategy, which gives us the flexibility to shift production toward the most attractive end markets and capture premium-value opportunities,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Bryon McGregor.

 

“Having begun a strategic realignment three years ago, we now have a diversified product portfolio, a leaner cost structure and an operating model capable of generating positive adjusted EBITDA through commodity cycles while providing meaningful upside when market conditions are favorable,” added Mr. McGregor. “In addition, we have numerous initiatives in process and ahead of us to expand capacity, optimize CO2 production, improve efficiencies and increase our earnings from 45Z tax credits.”

 

Mr. McGregor concluded, “Our second quarter and latest 12-month financial results, combined with our ability to execute on high-return opportunities, reinforce our confidence in Alto’s ability to generate sustainable earnings and create long-term shareholder value.”

 

Rob Olander, Chief Financial Officer, added that, “Today, we established a $50 million at-the-market equity program. Alongside our available borrowing capacity and operating cash flow, the ATM program provides additional financial flexibility and a prudent, low-cost tool to effectively access equity capital. We see a number of attractive, high-return organic opportunities across our platform. Having the ATM program in place allows us to remain prepared to pursue those opportunities when expected returns, market conditions and shareholder interests align. Any use of the program would be disciplined, measured and evaluated against other sources of available capital.”

Cost of goods sold was $229.1 million, compared to $220.4 million.

Alternatively, the webcast for the conference call can be accessed from Alto Ingredients’ website at www.altoingredients.com and will be available for one year.

 

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 (benefit) for income taxes, asset impairments, unrealized derivative gains and losses, acquisition-related expense, excess insurance proceeds 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.
