Distillery Products Segment Review
-
Distillery products sales for the second quarter were
$71.1 million , an increase of 34 percent compared to the prior year quarter. The majority of this increase was mainly due to a 37 percent increase in sales of high quality food grade alcohol, driven by approximately equal gains in pricing and unit volume. TheLawrenceburg, Indiana , facility added significant new sales of beverage alcohol compared to the prior year. TheLawrenceburg distillery also generates sales of distillers feed and fees for warehousing services related to the storage of barrels used in the aging of whiskey and bourbon. Non-food grade alcohol sales declined by 32 percent compared with the prior-year period.
-
The distillery products segment reported second quarter pre-tax operating income of
$3.7 million compared to a pre-tax loss of$3.7 million during the same quarter a year ago. Quarter over quarter, pricing for distillery products out-paced the increased costs for corn, excluding the impact of accounting for open commodity contracts. Current quarter cost of sales had a$2.0 million favorable impact related to open commodity contracts compared with an unfavorable impact of$5.5 million in the prior year. For the second quarter, the per-bushel cost of corn averaged 4.8 percent lower than a year ago, with natural gas declining by an average of 13 percent over the same period.

Ingredient Solutions Segment Review
-

$14 million , a decrease of approximately 10 percent from the prior year's quarter. Higher average pricing was offset by declines in unit volume.
-
The ingredients segment reported a second quarter pre-tax operating income of
$987,000 compared with a pre-tax operating loss of$136,000 for the quarter a year ago. This was principally due to improved average selling prices, a higher value product mix and lower natural gas prices. Flour costs averaged approximately 8 percent lower per pound compared with the prior-year period.
-

$27.6 million , a decrease of 5 percent over the prior year period. Pre-tax segment operating income for the six months was$2.6 million compared with a loss of$35,000 over the same period a year ago.

Sales of the Company's plant-based biopolymers in the second quarter were
$248,000 , which was modestly higher than prior year levels. The Company reported a pre-tax operating loss of$150,000 compared to a pre-tax loss of$209,000 in the prior year's quarter. For the first six months segment sales were$529,000 compared with$515,000 . The pre-tax operating loss for the first six months was$246,000 compared with a prior-year loss of$385,000 . MGP is participating in an externally funded project to find innovative ways to produce cost-competitive bio-based foams, plastics, and other materials from distillers dried grains and soluables.
Newkirk concluded, "We like our long-term positioning. While our quarterly results have yet to show consistency, we're more confident in our ability to compete in an environment of stubbornly high commodity prices. The turnaround in profitability of our ingredients segment is one example of our progress over the past year. The addition of brown goods to our beverage portfolio has enhanced our distillery margins. Other positive factors for the second half of this year include the resetting of our raw material sourcing contracts and the recently-implemented price increases for distillery products. In the meantime, we're focused on keeping customers satisfied and generating more cash from every gallon or pound we process."
