Benson Hill Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results, Improves 2023 Outlook, and Pays Down Debt (Graphic: Business Wire)

“Our team effectively managed a challenging third quarter, addressing some softness in soy crush margins and reduced demand for proprietary products because of market headwinds,” said Deanie Elsner, Chief Executive Officer of Benson Hill. “The combination of the sale of certain non-core licensing technologies and higher-than-planned soy white flake ingredient sales expected in the fourth quarter positions us to end 2023 consistent with our prior guidance for gross profit. We expect these market challenges to persist, further supporting our decision to accelerate the shift to an asset-light business model designed to serve broadacre animal feed markets with our seed innovations enabled through the CropOS® platform.”

Third Quarter Results Compared to the Same Period of 2022

The following financial results exclude the completed divestiture of the Fresh business on June 30, 2023. The impact of open mark-to-market timing differences on the statement of operations and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the accompanying financial tables.

  • Reported revenues were $113.1 million, a decrease of $9.2 million, or 7.5 percent, driven by a 17 percent decline in non-proprietary revenues due to record-level crush margins for soy and yellow pea in the third quarter of last year. Proprietary revenues were $33.1 million, a 27.2 percent increase, driven by greater availability of products compared to the prior year and the sale of proprietary soybeans into the commodity market. Reported revenues included an unfavorable $0.1 million impact from open mark-to-market timing differences.
  • Gross profit was $4.1 million, a decrease of $1.8 million. Excluding a favorable impact of $4.3 million from open mark-to-market timing differences, gross profit decreased by $4.7 million to a loss of $0.2 million due to the sale of proprietary products into the commodity markets at unfavorable margins and non-recurring factors affecting the supply chain, including logistics and unscheduled maintenance costs at our processing facilities.
  • Operating expenses were $28.4 million, a decrease of $2 million. The decrease was driven by the Liquidity Improvement Plan actions to deliver an expected $15 million run rate reduction in 2023 partially offset by $2.5 million of non-recurring expenses. Excluding the non-recurring items, operating expenses declined by approximately 14.7 percent to $25.9 million.
    • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $17.9 million, a decrease of $1 million or 5.5 percent inclusive of non-recurring costs.
    • R&D expenses were $10.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 8 percent.
  • Inclusive of open mark-to-market timing differences, net loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $19.2 million, a decrease in reported loss of $7.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $14.2 million compared to a loss of $14.7 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of open mark-to-market timing differences, the Adjusted EBITDA loss in the quarter was $18.5 million compared to a loss of $16.1 million for the same period last year.
  • Cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $86.2 million were on hand as of September 30, 2023.

First Nine-Months Results Compared to the Same Period of 2022

The following financial results exclude the completed divestiture of the Fresh business on June 30, 2023. The impact of open mark-to-market timing differences on the statement of operations and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the accompanying financial tables.

  • Reported revenues were $356.7 million, an increase of $74.7 million, or 26.5 percent. Proprietary revenues were $77 million, an increase of 47.3 percent, driven by proprietary product sales into the aquaculture market and some limited soybean sales into the commodity markets. Reported revenues included a $6.3 million gain from open mark-to-market timing differences.
  • Gross profit was $16.6 million, an increase in profitability of $13.9 million, and includes a $6.4 million gain related to open mark-to-market timing differences. Overall profitability increased in dollar and margin percentage terms due to the combination of partnership and licensing agreements and improved operating results compared to start-up costs incurred in the prior year.
  • Operating expenses were $97.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 2.5 percent, which include approximately $17.3 million of non-recurring costs, including a $19.2 million impairment of the carrying value of goodwill. Excluding these non-recurring items, operating expenses declined by 15.6 percent to $80.3 million due to cost reductions realized through the Company’s Liquidity Improvement Plan.
  • Inclusive of the mark-to-market timing differences and goodwill impairment, the reported net loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $73.2 million compared to a net loss of $68.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $41 million compared to a loss of $59.8 million.

2023 Outlook

Excludes the Fresh business which was divested on June 30, 2023.

Management improved its guidance for 2023, driven by expectations for improved performance in the fourth quarter and continued benefits from the Liquidity Improvement Plan.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, the Company includes references to non-GAAP performance measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and are similar measures reported by publicly listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. By referencing these non-GAAP measures, the Company’s management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company’s performance for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures of performance used by other companies in other industries or within the same industry. In addition, the Company has and may in the future modify how it calculates non-GAAP performance measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release.

The reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company expressly disclaims any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.

Material Items Included in Consolidated Revenues and Cost of Sales

(In Thousands)

Currently, the Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its derivative financial instruments; thus changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings.

Mark-to-market timing difference comprises the estimated net temporary impact resulting from unrealized period-end gains/losses associated with the fair valuation of futures contracts associated with the Company’s committed future operating capacity. These mark-to-market timing differences are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance.

The table below summarizes the pre-tax gains and losses related to derivatives and contract assets and liabilities:

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

(In Thousands)

This press release contains financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations excluding income taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of warrants and conversion options, realized (gains) losses on marketable securities, goodwill, and long-lived asset impairment, restructuring-related costs (including severance costs) and the impact of significant non-recurring items. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash used in (provided by) operating activities minus capital expenditures. The Company defines operating expenses, as adjusted as operating expenses excluding expenses incurred in relation to the transition to an asset-light business model and significant non-recurring items.
