The Andersons, Inc. reported a decline in financial performance for the first quarter of 2025, with sales and merchandising revenues totaling $2.66 billion, down from $2.72 billion in the same period last year. The company's gross profit increased to $152.9 million, compared to $128.3 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to improved margins in the Agribusiness segment. However, net income attributable to The Andersons, Inc. fell sharply to $284, down from $5.58 million a year earlier, resulting in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.01, compared to $0.16 in the prior year.
The decrease in overall revenues was attributed to reduced commodity prices and a strategic decision to limit trading volumes in certain international markets. The Agribusiness segment, which includes commodity merchandising and plant nutrient products, saw a revenue drop of $68.2 million, although the acquisition of Skyland Grain LLC contributed approximately $165 million in sales. Operating expenses rose significantly, primarily due to the integration of Skyland, which added $27.6 million in operating, administrative, and general expenses.
In terms of operational metrics, The Andersons reported a working capital of $1.09 billion, a decrease of $36.2 million from the previous year. Current assets increased by $314.8 million, largely due to the Skyland acquisition, while current liabilities rose by $351 million, reflecting the same acquisition's impact. The company also reported a significant increase in short-term debt, which rose to $222.7 million from just $10.1 million a year earlier, indicating a shift in financing strategy.
Looking ahead, The Andersons expressed optimism regarding the agricultural market, citing favorable corn planting intentions and expected increases in nutrient volumes. The company anticipates that lower corn stocks entering the year will create merchandising opportunities and good early harvest margins in the latter half of 2025. Management remains focused on integrating the Skyland acquisition and expects to invest between $175 million and $200 million in capital expenditures throughout 2025 to enhance operational capabilities.
