70 - --- - - - - - - MGP is reconfirming the following guidance for fiscal 2017 and beyond: • Operating income is expected to grow between 10% and 15% annually from 2016 through 2018. This guidance excludes a favorable litigation settlement and asset sale gain recorded in the third quarter of 2016. • Recognizing the difficulty of projecting three years in the future, our conservative estimate of growth in operating income in 2019 is 15% to 20% as sales of aged whiskey inventory becomes a more significant factor. • Modest growth is expected in net sales in 2017, subject to some volatility as the company continues to shift sales from industrial to premium beverage alcohol. • 2017 gross margins are expected to continue to grow versus 2016. • 2017 effective tax rate is forecast to be 31%, and shares outstanding are expected to be approximately 16.8 million at year end. • 2017 profitability for ICP remains exposed to the challenging and volatile conditions in the fuel ethanol industry.

Volumes in wine gallons Volume flows between markets when ethanol margins are compressed The “Fuel Ethanol Effect” As fuel ethanol prices come down and crush margins turn lower or negative, producers are forced to “go idle” or enter the Industrial or Beverage markets to maintain margins. This in turn depresses pricing and overall margins of the industrial alcohol market due to market oversupply.
