Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring items considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods indicated have been made. The results in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2018. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 20162017 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 20162017 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in The Andersons, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 (the “2016“2017 Form 10-K”).
New Accounting Standards
Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This standard simplifies the recognition and presentation of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and, among other things, eliminates the requirement to separately measure and record hedge ineffectiveness. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 during the second quarter of 2018 noting the effects of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements were not material. There was no transition impact.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue Fromfrom Contracts With Customers.with Customers (ASC 606). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, and December 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively. The core principle of the new revenue modelstandard is that an entity recognizes revenue from the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These standards are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans onadopted the standard in the current period using the modified retrospective methodmethod. As a result of the adoption we recognized a cumulative catch-up transition adjustment in beginning retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for non-recourse financing transactions that were open as of December 31, 2017. This resulted in a $25.6 million increase in Rail Group net assets, $34.0 million increase in financing liabilities and does not plandeferred tax liabilities and $8.4 million decrease to early adopt.
While we are still continuing to evaluate the potential future impact of these standards on our financial statements, we believe the following items may be impacted upon adoption:
- Methodologyretained earnings. See Note 7 for recognizing certain fee-based arrangements within our Grain and Ethanol segments;
- Determination of whether we are the principal or agent for certain revenue streams within several of our segments;
- Methodology for recognizing gains on certain sale transactions within our Rail segment.
Our evaluation of these standards, which includes reviewing representative samples of customer contracts, considers the amount and timing of revenues recognized, financial statement presentation, and required disclosures.further detail.
Leasing
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic(ASC 842). ASU 2016-02ASC 842 supersedes the current accounting for leases. The new standard, while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (i) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting, (ii) eliminates current real estate specific lease provisions, (iii) modifies the lease classification criteria and (iv) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. ASU 2016-02ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within. Early adoption is permitted, however the Company does not plan to early adopt. Entities are required to use aThe new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and must be adopted using either the modified retrospective approach, when transitioning to ASU 2016-02 for leases that exist aswhich requires application of or are entered into afterthe new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented inor the financial statements.optional alternative approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the standard’s effective date.
The Company expects this standard to have the effect of bringing substantially all of thecertain off balance-sheet rail assets currently in nonrecourse financing deals noted in Item 2 of Form 10-Q onto the balance sheet along with a corresponding liability for the
associated obligations. Additionally, we have other arrangements currently classified as operating leases which will be recorded as a right of use asset and corresponding liability on the balance sheet. The magnitude ofWe are currently evaluating the impact these items is substantially less than the rail assets thatchanges will be recordedhave on the balance sheet. We expect any impact to the statement of operations to be minimal post adoption.Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other applicable standards
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and do not expect the impact to be material. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company has not chosen to do so at this time.
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.ASU 2017-09 Compensation—StockCompensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ThisUnder this standard, states that if the vesting conditions, fair value, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification an entity would not apply modification accounting.accounting. The FASB then issued ASU is effective2018-07 which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, howeveracquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company has adopted these standards during the year, noting no impact as the Company has not chosenmade any modifications to do so at this time. The Company does not expect the impact from adoption of this standard to be material.our stock compensation awards.
In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.ASU 2017-07 Compensation—RetirementCompensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This standard requires that the service cost component be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period. The other components of net benefit costs should be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This update removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company elected to implementhas adopted this standard in the current quarter.first quarter using the retrospective approach and prior periods have been recast to reflect this change, noting the amounts are immaterial.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company has adopted this standard in the first quarter noting the impact is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. At adoption, the Company will elect to continue classifying distributions from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach which is consistent with current practice.immaterial.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. This includes allowances for trade receivables. The Company has not historically incurred significant credit losses and does not currently anticipate circumstances that would lead to a CECL approach differing from the Company's existing allowance estimates in a material way. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, howeverbut the Company does not plan to do so.
In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in February 2018 and March 2018 within ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2018-04, respectively. This standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expecthas adopted this standard in the first quarter noting the impact from adoption of this standard to be material to currently held financial assets and liabilities.is immaterial.

5. Derivatives
The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Grain and Ethanol businesses have established “unhedged” position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract to lock in the price). To reduce the exposure to market price risk on commodities owned and forward grain and ethanol purchase and sale contracts, the Company enters into exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts and over-the-counter forward and option contracts with various counterparties. These contracts are primarily traded via the regulated Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME").CME. The Company’s forward purchase and sales contracts are for physical delivery of the commodity in a future period. Contracts to purchase commodities from producers generally relate to the current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyond one year.
All of these contracts meet the definition of derivatives. While the Company considers its commodity contracts to be effective economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards. The Company accounts for its commodity derivatives at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the commodity derivative contracts that require the receipt or posting of cash collateral is recorded on a net basis (offset against cash collateral posted or received, also known as margin deposits) within commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Management determines fair value based on exchange-quoted prices and in the case of its forward purchase and sale contracts, estimated fair value is adjusted for differences in local markets and non-performance risk. For contracts for which physical delivery occurs, balance sheet classification is based on estimated delivery date. For futures, options and over-the-counter contracts in which physical delivery is not expected to occur but, rather, the contract is expected to be net settled, the Company
classifies these contracts as current or noncurrent assets or liabilities, as appropriate, based on the Company’s expectations as to when such contracts will be settled.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of commodity contracts (whether due to changes in commodity prices, changes in performance or credit risk, or due to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the commodity contract) and grain inventories are included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues.
Generally accepted accounting principles permit a party to a master netting arrangement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments against the right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral under the same master netting arrangement. The Company has master netting arrangements for its exchange traded futures and options contracts and certain over-the-counter contracts. When the Company enters into a futures,future, option or an over-the-counter contract, an initial margin deposit may be required by the counterparty. The amount of the margin deposit varies by commodity. If the market price of a futures,future, option or an over-the-counter contract moves in a direction that is adverse to the Company’s position, an additional margin deposit, called a maintenance margin, is required. The margin deposit assets and liabilities are included in short-term commodity derivative assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017,, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, a summary of the estimated fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments that require cash collateral and the associated cash posted/received as collateral. The net asset or liability positions of these derivatives (net of their cash collateral) are determined on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and are included within current or noncurrent commodity derivative assets (or liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Interest Rate and Other Derivatives
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a
counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
At June 30, 2017,2018, December 31, 20162017 and June 30, 2016,2017, the Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's interest rateother derivatives:

7. Revenue
7.Many of the Company’s revenues are generated from contracts that are outside the scope of ASC 606 and thus are accounted for under other accounting standards. Specifically, many of the Company's Grain and Ethanol sales contracts are derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging and the Rail Group's leasing revenue is accounted for under ASC 840, Leases. The breakdown of revenues between ASC 606 and other standards is as follows:

Approximately 6% of revenues accounted for under ASC 606 are recorded over time which primarily relates to service revenues noted above.
Specialty and primary nutrients
The Company sells several different types of specialty nutrient products, including: low-salt liquid starter fertilizers, micro-nutrients and other specialty lawn products. These products can be sold through the wholesale distribution channels as well as directly to end users at the farm center locations. Similarly, the Company sells several different types of primary nutrient products, including: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These products may be purchased and re-sold as is or sold as finished goods resulting from a blending and manufacturing process. The contracts associated with specialty and primary nutrients generally have just a single performance obligation, as the Company has elected the accounting policy to consider shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs. Revenue is recognized when control of the product has passed to the customer. Payment terms generally range from 0 - 30 days.
Service
Service revenues primarily relate to the railcar repair business. The Company owns several railcar repair shops which repair railcars through specific contracts with customers or by operating as an agent for a particular railroad to repair cars that are on its rail line per Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) standards. These contracts contain a single performance obligation which is to complete the requested and/or required repairs on the railcars. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the repair work we perform, revenue for these contracts is recognized over time. The Company uses an input-based measure of progress using costs incurred to total expected costs as that is the measure that most faithfully depicts our progress towards satisfying our performance obligation. Upon completion of the work, the invoice is sent to the customer, with payment terms that generally range from 0 - 30 days.
Co-products
In addition to the ethanol sales contracts that are considered derivative instruments, the Ethanol Group sells several other co-products that remain subject to ASC 606, including E-85, DDGs, syrups and renewable identification numbers (“RINs”). RINs are credits for compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's Renewable Fuel Standard program and are created by renewable fuel producers. Contracts for these co-products generally have a single performance obligation, as the Company has elected the accounting policy to consider shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs. Revenue is recognized when control of the product has passed to the customer which follows shipping terms on the contract. Payment terms generally range from 5 - 15 days.
Contract balances
The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows:
|
| | | |
(in thousands) | Contract liabilities |
Balance at January 1, 2018 | $ | 25,520 |
|
Balance at March 31, 2018 | 67,715 |
|
Balance at June 30, 2018 | 10,047 |
|
The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. Contract liabilities relate to the Plant Nutrient business for payments received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. Due to seasonality of this business, contract liabilities were built up in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the change in liabilities is due to revenue recognized in the current period relating to the liability.

Total reported assets were $24.2 million greater than on the pro forma balance sheet, which assumes the previous guidance remained in effect as of June 30, 2018. This was largely due to the Rail Group assets that were recorded on the balance sheet on January 1, 2018 as part of the cumulative catch-up adjustment upon the adoption of ASC 606.
Total reported liabilities were $32.7 million greater than on the pro forma balance sheet, which assumes the previous guidance remained in effect as of June 30, 2018.

The following summarizes the significant changes on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 compared to the results that would have been reported if the Company had continued to recognize revenues under ASC 605:
While grain origination agreements, and their related sales contracts, will be accounted for under ASC 815, we are still required to evaluate the principal versus agent guidance in ASC 606 to determine whether realized gains or losses should be presented on a gross or net basis in the consolidated statements of operations upon physical settlement. The Company has determined that it is the agent in certain origination arrangements within our Grain Group and therefore realized gains or losses will be presented under ASC 606. Since these transactions now being recorded on a net basis, revenues and related cost of sales would have been $183.1 million and $345.0 million higher under the previous guidance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
ASC 606 requires certain Rail Group assets and related financing obligations to be recorded on the balance sheet as these transactions no longer qualify as sales as a result of the existence of repurchase options within the sales contracts. The result of this change primarily impacts geography within the income statement, as lease expense to the financial institution is replaced with a combination of depreciation and interest expense.
The net impact of accounting for revenue under the new guidance had an immaterial impact on net income (loss) and no impact on the Company's earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
The adoption of ASC 606 had an immaterial on the Company’s cash flows from operations. The aforementioned impacts resulted in offsetting shifts in cash flows throughout net income and various changes in working capital balances.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied at period end. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement. The Company has various contracts that meet the following practical expedients provided by ASC 606:
The performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.
The variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-14(b), for which the criteria in ASC 606-10-32-40 have been met.
Contract costs
The company has elected to apply the practical expedient and accordingly recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in Operating, administrative and general expenses.
Significant judgments
In making its determination of standalone selling price, the Company maximizes its use of observable inputs. Standalone selling price, once established, is then used to allocate total consideration proportionally to the various performance obligations, if applicable, within a contract.
To estimate variable consideration, the Company applies both the “expected value” method and “most likely amount” method based on the form of variable consideration, according to which method would provide the best prediction. The expected value method involves a probability-weighted determination of the expected amount, whereas the most likely amount method identifies the single most likely outcome in a range of possible amounts. However, once a method has been applied to one form of variable consideration, it is applied consistently throughout the contract term.
The primary types of variable consideration present in the Company’s contracts are product returns, volume rebates and the CPI index. The overall impact of this variable consideration is not material.
Practical expedients

8. Income Taxes
On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and makes changes if necessary based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecast based on actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and is used to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. The Company also recognizes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates and impacts from settlements with tax authorities, discretely in the quarter in which they occur. Additionally, the annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, the tax benefit related to railroad track maintenance credit transactions, and to benefits or costs related to various permanent book to tax differences and tax credits.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017,2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.7 million at an effective tax rate of (40.1)%, which varied26.6%. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the recordingimpact of state income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and permanent tax differences from equity method investments. The net increase in effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 resulted from in the period ended June 30, 2017 the Company had a $42.0 millionloss before income taxes after a goodwill impairment chargewrite-off which did not provide a corresponding tax benefit. This was offset by the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the U.S. tax reform. For the three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $7.7 million at an effective tax rate of 33.2%(40.1)%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.4 million at an effective tax rate of 27.7%. The annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate due to the impact of state income taxes, nondeductible compensation, and permanent tax differences from equity method investments. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 also includes tax expense due to changes in the state allocation/apportionment as a result of a statutory merger. The increase in effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period last year was attributed to the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the U.S. tax reform. Additionally, in the period ended June 30, 2017 the Company had a loss before income taxes after a goodwill write-off which did not provide a corresponding tax benefit. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.1 million at an effective tax rate of (20.8)%, which varied from the U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the recording.
The Company’s accounting for certain elements of the $42.0 million goodwill impairment charge noted above. ForTax Act was incomplete as of the six monthsperiod ended December 31, 2017, and remains incomplete as of June 30, 2016,2018. However, the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects and, therefore, recorded provisional estimates for these items. In connection with its initial analysis of the impact of the Tax
Act, the Company recorded incomea provisional discrete net tax benefit of $73.5 million in the period ended December 31, 2017. This provisional estimate consists of a net expense of $0.4$1.4 million at an effectivefor the one-time transition tax and a net benefit of $74.9 million related to revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, caused by the new lower corporate tax rate. To determine the
transition tax, the Company must determine the amount of post-1986 accumulated earnings and profits of the relevant
subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. While the Company was able to make a
reasonable estimate of the transition tax, the Company continues to gather additional information to more precisely compute the final amount. Likewise, while the Company was able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction to the
corporate tax rate, of 189.6% which varied from the U.S. Federal taxits rate of 35% primarily due to a 174.7% discrete tax chargemay be affected by other analysis related to the Tax Act, including, but not limited to, the state tax
effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences. Due to the complexity of the new global intangible low-taxed
income taxes.("GILTI") tax rules, the company is continuing to evaluate this provision of the Tax Act and the application of ASC
740. Under GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice to either (i) treat taxes due on future U.S.
inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method"); or (ii)
factor in such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company’s selection
of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules is dependent on additional analysis and potential future
modifications to existing structures, which are not currently known. The Company has not made a policy decision regarding
whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI. The Company will continue to analyze the full effects of the Tax Act on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the company agreed to a state income tax assessment that had been under appeal. The related $0.3 million reserve for unrecognized tax benefits has been reclassified as currently payable state income tax.

10. Earnings Per Share
The Company’s non-vested restricted stock that was granted prior to March 2015 is considered a participating security since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Level 1 commodity derivatives reflect the fair value of the exchange-traded futures and options contracts that the Company holds, net of the cash collateral that the Company has in its margin account.
The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach valuation technique. With the market approach, fair value is derived using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Level 1 commodity derivatives reflect the fair value of the exchange-traded futures and options contracts that the Company holds, net of the cash collateral that the Company has in its margin account.
The Company’s net commodity derivatives primarily consist of futures or options contracts via regulated exchanges and contracts with producers or customers under which the future settlement date and bushels (or gallons in the case of ethanol contracts) of commodities to be delivered (primarily wheat, corn, soybeans and ethanol) are fixed and under which the price may or may not be fixed. Depending on the specifics of the individual contracts, the fair value is derived from the futures or options prices on the CME or the New York Mercantile Exchange for similar commodities and delivery dates as well as observable quotes for local basis adjustments (the difference, which is attributable to local market conditions, between the quoted futures price and the local cash price). Because basis for a particular commodity and location typically has multiple quoted prices from other agribusinesses in the same geographical vicinity and is used as a common pricing mechanism in the
Agribusiness industry, we have concluded that basis is a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to our commodity derivatives. Although nonperformance risk, both of the Company and the counterparty, is present in each of these commodity contracts and is a component of the estimated fair values, based on the Company’s historical experience with its producers and customers and the Company’s knowledge of their businesses, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a material input to fair value for these commodity contracts.
These fair value disclosures exclude physical grain inventories measured at net realizable value. The net realizable value used to measure the Company’s agricultural commodity inventories is the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange),
less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. This valuation would generally be considered Level 2. The amount is disclosed in Note 2. Changes in the net realizable value of commodity inventories are recognized as a component of cost of sales and merchandising revenues.
Provisionally priced contract liabilities are those for which the Company has taken ownership and possession of grain but the final purchase price has not been established. In the case of payables where the unpriced portion of the contract is limited to the futures price of the underlying commodity or the Company has delivered provisionally priced grain and a subsequent payable or receivable is set up for any futuresfuture changes in the grain price, quoted CBOT prices are used and the liability is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For allAll other unpriced contracts, which include variable futures and basis components, the amounts recorded forprimarily delayed price contracts, are determined on the basis of local grain market prices at the balance sheet date and, as such, are deemed to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.hierarchy as they include variable future and basis components.
The risk management contract liability allows related ethanol customers to effectively unprice the futures component of their inventory for a period of time, subjecting the bushels to market fluctuations. The Company records an asset or liability for the market value changes of the commodities over the life of the contracts based on quoted CBOT prices and as such, the balance is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company’s stake in the Iowa Northern Railway Company ("IANR") was redeemed in the first quarter of 2016. The remaining convertible preferred securities are interests in two early-stage enterprises in the form of debt securities with the possibility of conversion to equity under certain circumstances.
A reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the Company’s fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs is as follows:

13.14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to litigation, or threats thereof, both as defendant and plaintiff with some regularity, although individual cases that are material in size occur infrequently. As a defendant, the Company establishes reserves for claimed amounts that are considered probable and capable of estimation. If those cases are resolved for lesser amounts, the excess reserves are taken into income and, conversely, if those cases are resolved for larger than the amount the Company has accrued, the Company records additional expense. The Company believes it is unlikely that the results of its current legal proceedings for which it is the defendant, even if unfavorable, will be material. As a plaintiff, amounts that are collected can also result in sudden, non-recurring income.
Litigation results depend upon a variety of factors, including the availability of evidence, the credibility of witnesses, the performance of counsel, the state of the law, and the impressions of judges and jurors, any of which can be critical in importance, yet difficult, if not impossible, to predict. Consequently, cases currently pending, or future matters, may result in unexpected, and non-recurring losses, or income, from time to time. Finally, litigation results are often subject to judicial reconsideration, appeal and further negotiation by the parties, and as a result, the final impact of a particular judicial decision may be unknown for some time, or may result in continued reserves to account for the potential of such post-verdict actions.
The estimated range of losslosses for all other outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible is not material.
Commitments
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company began construction of a new ethanol facility, which is expected to be completed in 2019. Portions of the project are covered by design and build contracts, with approximately $129.2 million of remaining obligation, of which $12.9 million has been prepaid, as of June 30, 2018.
Build-to-Suit Lease
In August 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an initial term of 15 years for a build-to-suit facility to be used as the new corporate headquarters which was completed in the third quarter of 2016. Since the Company is deemed to be the owner of this facility for accounting purposes during the construction period, it has recognized an asset and a corresponding financing obligation.
The Company has recorded a build-to-suit financing obligation in other long-term liabilities of $23.9$23.5 million, $14.0$24.3 million, and $13.0$23.9 million at June 30, 2017,2018, December 31, 2016,2017, and June 30, 2016,2017, respectively. The Company has recorded a build-to-suit financing obligation in other current liabilities of $0.8$1.4 million, $0.9$1.4 million, and $1.5$0.8 million at June 30, 2017,2018, December 31, 2016,2017, and June 30, 2016,2017, respectively.

17. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As previously reported, the Company had monitored the performance of its wholesale nutrient business, within the Plant Nutrient segment, throughout 2016. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company reported that the wholesale business was under pressure due to an uncertain outlook for future crop prices and decreased domestic demand for fertilizer. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2016, which resulted in an excess of fair value over carrying value of 8% for the wholesale nutrient reporting unit. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company's assessment of the business did not indicate the presence of any goodwill impairment triggering events.
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company identified certain factors that we considered important in assessing the requirement to perform an interim impairment evaluation for the wholesale nutrient reporting unit. First, current year actual results were significantly below historical and expected operating results. Second, the nutrient industry's future outlook continued to reflect depressed margins and minimal growth, driven by an oversupply of base nutrients, low crop prices and low farmer income. After considering these items, the Company determined that an interim goodwill impairment assessment was required, as well as an impairment assessment for our definite-lived intangible and other long-lived assets. No impairment was recognized for definite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets.
Upon early adoption of ASU No. 2017-04, the Company now uses a one-step quantitative approach that compares the business enterprise value ("BEV") of each reporting unit with its carrying value. The BEV was computed based on both an income approach (discounted cash flows) and a market approach. The income approach uses a reporting unit's estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. The market approach estimates fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics to the reporting unit. Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the BEV will be recorded as an impairment loss. The calculation of the BEV is based on significant unobservable inputs, such as price trends, customer demand, material costs and discount rates, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The discounted cash flow model used for the income approach assumed discrete period revenue growth through 2021 that was reflective of market opportunities, changes in product mix, and cyclical trends within the wholesale nutrient business. In the terminal year, the Company assumed a long-term earnings growth rate of 2.0 percent that is believed to be appropriate given the current industry-specific expectations. As of the valuation date, the Company utilized a weighted-average cost of capital of 10.1 percent, which reflects the relative risk and time value of money. The testing resulted in a $42.0 million impairment charge for goodwill associated with the Wholesale reporting unit.
With the estimated fair value of the reporting unit now equaling its carrying value as of June 30, 2017, the Wholesale reporting unit has a risk of future impairment to the remaining goodwill balance of $17.8 million. A deterioration in operating performance significantly below current expectations, including changes in projected future revenue, profitability and cash flow, as well as higher working capital, interest rates, or cost of capital, could have a negative effect on the fair value of the reporting unit. It is also possible the Company's performance meets current expectations but is still unable overcome the general trends in the business and/or macro-economic factors in the time frame forecast, which could impact the long-term discount rate values used in estimating fair value, causing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to fall below its carrying value. This would result in recording another impairment to the goodwill of the wholesale business.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are as follows: |

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, as described in our 20162017 Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the second quarter of 2017.2018, other than as a result of adopting the new revenue recognition accounting standard. See additional information regarding these policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial statements herein in Notes 1 and 7.
Executive Overview
Our operations are organized, managed and classified into fivefour reportable business segments: Grain, Ethanol, Plant Nutrient, Rail, and Retail.Rail. Each of these segments is based on the nature of products and services offered. Prior to 2018, we reported the Retail operations as a fifth reportable business segment even though it did not meet the quantitative thresholds for segment disclosures. As previously disclosed, we closed the Retail business during 2017, and accordingly have recast the prior results for this segment within the Other category, which also includes other corporate level costs not attributable to an operating segment.
The agricultural commodity-based business is one in which changes in selling prices generally move in relationship to changes in purchase prices. Therefore, increases or decreases in prices of the agricultural commodities that the business deals in will have a relatively equal impact on sales and cost of sales and a much less significant impact on gross profit. As a result, changes in sales between periods may not necessarily be indicative of the overall performance of the business and more focus should be placed on changes in gross profit.
Grain Group
The Grain Group's second quarter performance reflects a strong performance resulted in improved earnings compared to the second quarter reflectsof 2017. Market volatility led to better merchandising opportunities, as well as significant improvement over the prior year, especially due to higher space income. The Group was able to purchase grain at more typical prices during the 2016 harvest and the market continued to reward the Group with basis appreciation in corn, beans and wheat. LTG also saw significant improvements over the prior year.our earnings in equity affiliates.
Grain inventories on hand at June 30, 20172018 were 78.080.9 million bushels, of which 0.80.1 million bushels were stored for others. This comparesThese amounts compare to 75.778.0 million bushels on hand at June 30, 2016,2017, of which 4.00.8 million bushels were stored for others. Total grain storage capacity, including temporary pile storage, was flat with approximately 145 million bushels at June 30, 2018 compared to 153 million bushels at both June 30, 20172017. This decrease in capacity is a result of the sale of three Tennessee locations in the second quarter of 2018.
The Grain Group will continue to capitalize on market volatility while growing originations, risk management services, and June 30, 2016.its food ingredients business.
Wheat harvest is complete in our southern footprint and underway in our remaining locations. Harvest results to date appear positive and we expect continued opportunities for space income on our wheat position. Corn and beans were planted through variable weather conditions across our footprint during the quarter, which could result in varied qualities and an opportunity for blending income during harvest. During the quarter, the Group also completed an acquisition of a small specialty grain handling and milling business that further expands our food ingredient capabilities.
Ethanol Group
The Ethanol Group's second quarter results reflect lower ethanol marginsincreased volumes from record levels of industrymore efficient production and stocks duringas well as improvement in our earnings in equity affiliates. The group is also seeing higher DDG values due to the quarter. While DDG margins have improved from the prior quarter, elevated levelslack of vomitoxin issues in eastern draw areas have continuedthe current year. The Company began construction of its new bio-refinery facility in the first quarter and the project remains on target, expected to negatively impact margins. The weak ethanol and DDG margins were partially offset by high ethanol export demand and strong E-85 and corn oil sales.

Plant Nutrient Group
The Plant Nutrient Group's second quarter results reflect a continued depressedconsiderably lower margins in our primary and specialty nutrient market. An oversupply of base nutrientsproducts despite an increase in volumes. Strong results in the market has put pressure on prices, which has put pressure on overall margins. Volumes have also declined comparedlawn business partially offset the wholesale business margin challenges. We expect volume and margin pressures in the wholesale business to the prior year as we lost a key portion of our application window due to inclement weather, as well as lower crop prices that continue to keep farm income low, preventing investment in high margin nutrients that yield better results. We expect this trend to continue duringbe a challenge for the year.remainder of 2018.
Storage capacity at our wholesale nutrient and farm center facilities, including leased storage, was approximately 484 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 515 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2018, compared to approximately 486 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 527 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2017 and approximately 497 thousand tons for dry nutrients and approximately 550 thousand tons for liquid nutrients at June 30, 2016. The decrease in our storage capacity is a result of the sales of Florida farm center assets in the first quarter of 2017.

The Rail Group reported income from steady improvement despite a $4.7 million impairment charge from a decision to scrap about 550 idle, out-of-favor cars during the second quarter of 2018. The group saw a declinean increase in average utilization rates from 88.6 percent in the second quarter of 2016 to 84.4 percent in the second quarter of 2017. Average lease rates remained relatively flat.2017 to 89.5 percent in the second quarter of 2018. When the scrapping project is complete, the utilization rate should rise by approximately 2 percent excluding other factors. Rail Group assets under management (owned, leased or managed for financial institutions in non-recourse arrangements) at June 30, 20172018 were 23,64923,059 compared to 23,22023,649 at June 30, 2016.2017, due to the scrapped cars and excluding the remaining cars held for sale.
Utilization rates are recovering at a modest rate, however, lease rates are still under pressure from an over-supplied car market. We expect utilization to continue to rebound and lease rates to hold steady through the end of the year, with increased harvest demand in the fourth quarter.

Operating results for the Grain Group have improved by $20.0$2.9 million compared to the results of the same period last year. Sales and merchandising revenues decreased $34.5$122.5 million due to a 33% decrease in bushel sales as bushels are being strategically held for sale in the second half of the year due to strong space income opportunities in the market. Additionally, bushels received are down 27% compared to the same period in 2016 which is also a partial driver in the decline in sales. The decrease in volume was more than offset by a decrease in cost of sales and merchandising revenues of $47.4$126.8 million for a net favorable gross profit impact of $12.9$4.3 million. The adoption of ASC 606 led to a decrease in revenue of $183.1 million and an equal offsetting decrease to cost of sales. The gross profit increase was primarily driven by $15.6stronger sales volumes and merchandising margins in the second quarter of 2018.

InJune 30, 2018 current assets increased $128.4 million in comparison to those of June 30, 2016 current assets decreased significantly.2017. This increase was primarily due to a decreaseincreases in Commoditycash, accounts receivable, inventories and commodity derivative assets. Accounts receivable increased due to the amount and timing of sales in the Grain group. The increase in inventory relates to the timing of shipments in Grain, an increase in wholesale inventory as purchases were made earlier in the year due to rising commodity prices and the timing of summer fill programs, and an increase in Ethanol inventory due to increased inventory in-transit as a result of shipping more product FOB destination. Current commodity derivative assets and liabilities, have decreased which reflects the customer net asset or liability based on the value of forward contracts as compared to market prices at the end of the period, as well asshow a significant decrease innet decrease. See also the need for margin deposits compared to the prior year. Accounts receivable, net was also down due to a decrease in Grain receivables as a result of lower sales and shipment activity for the first half of 2017 compared to prior periods. Plant Nutrient Group also contributed to a decrease in accounts receivable as a result of the sale of Florida farm center locations and a decrease in sales. Additionally, inventories are down. Retail inventory is down due to the decision to close the retail stores. Liquidations efforts are substantially complete as of June 30, 2017. Plant Nutrient inventory is also down as a result of carrying fewer tons, including inventory in transit at the end of the period, and as a result of the sale of the Florida locations. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in Grain inventory as bushels are being held for sale in the second half of the year. See discussion below on additional sources and uses of cash for an understanding of the decrease in cash from prior year.
Current liabilities were downincreased $100.5 million compared to the prior year primarily due to increases in short-term debt and commodity derivative liabilities. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in short-termcurrent maturities of long-term debt trade and other payables, and commodity derivative liabilities which are mentioned above. Short-term debt decreased as a result of borrowings on the revolver in 2016 that did not occur in 2017. Trade and other payables decreased primarily due to a decrease in Plant Nutrient Group payables due to more timely processingthe timing of payments as well as decreased inventory levels and purchases at quarter end.for certain debt instruments
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities
Our operating activities used cash of $45.2$43.9 million and $194.4$45.2 million in the first six months of 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. The decrease in cash used year to date is primarilywas due to a decreasechanges in cash collateral relating to commodity derivatives.working capital, as discussed above.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $64.2$46.4 million through the first six months of 2017,2018 compared to cash providedused of $14.9$64.2 million in the prior year. This change is due to three main factors. Proceeds from sale of facilities and investments in affiliates decreased by $40.5 million. Proceeds in 2016 were higherRail Group assets increased as a result of a $54.3an increase in revenue from car sales. Additionally, cash used for the purchases of property, plant, equipment, and software increased due to costs associated with the beginning stages of the construction of the bio-refinery that began in the first six months of 2018. Finally, there was an increase of $20.5 million proceeds from the sale of underperforming assets in Iowa as well asfrom the redemptionsale of our investment in the Iowa Northern Railway Corporation which provided proceeds of $13.5
million. Additionally, 2017 reflects a $40.0 million increase in net spend on railcar acquisitions and sales. The variability in railcar purchases and sales is driven by timing of opportunities in the Rail Group asset market. Finally, property, plant, and equipment spend is down compared to the same period in 2016.three Tennessee grain locations.
In 2017,2018, we expect to spend a total of $145.0$145 million for the purchase of railcars barges and related leases and capitalized modifications of railcars. We also expect these purchases to offset this amount by proceedsbe funded from sales and dispositions or non-recourse debt of approximately $120.0$125 million during the year.
Additionally,
In addition to the construction of the bio-refinery, total capital spending for 20172018 on property, plant and equipment in our base business excluding rail leasing activity, but inclusive of information technology spending is expected to be approximately $70$60 million.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $65.7$114.1 million and $147.1$65.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. Short termThis was largely due to an increase in short-term borrowings decreased $70.1 million. This change was driven primarily by declines in commodity prices and associated working capital requirements. In addition, the current year saw a decrease of $52.0 million in funds provided by long-term debt issuance and other long-term financing arrangements, but this was largely offset by a $42.3 million decrease in long-term debt payments.as discussed above.
We are party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of $820.0$950.0 million in borrowings, whichborrowings. This amount includes $20.0$15.0 million of debt of The Andersons Denison Ethanol LLC, which$70 million of debt of ELEMENT LLC and $65.0 million of debt of The Andersons Railcar Leasing Company LLC, that is non-recourse to the Company. Of that total, we had $633.5$642.1 million remaining available for borrowing at June 30, 2017.2018. Peak short-term borrowings to date were $292.0$555 million on April 3, 2017.12, 2018. Typically, our highest borrowing occurs in the late winter and early spring due to seasonal inventory requirements in our fertilizer and grain businesses.
The company also received cash of $21.8 million for a noncontrolling interest in ELEMENT LLC.
We paid $9.0$9.3 million in dividends in the first six months of 20172018 compared to $8.7$9.0 million in the prior year. We paid $0.165 per common share for the dividends paid in January and April 2018 and $0.16 per common share for the dividends paid in January and April 2017 and $0.155 per common share for the dividends paid in January and April, 2016.2017. On May 12, 2017,11, 2018 we declared a cash dividend of $0.16$0.165 per common share payable on July 24, 201723, 2018 to shareholders of record on July 3, 2017.2, 2018.
Certain of our long-term borrowings include covenants that, among other things, impose minimum levels of equity and limitations on additional debt. We are in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2017.2018. In addition, certain of our long-term borrowings are collateralized by first mortgages on various facilities or are collateralized by railcar assets. Our non-recourse long-term debt is collateralized by ethanol plant assets.
Because we are a significant consumerborrower of short-term debt in peak seasons and the majority of this is variable rate debt, increases in interest rates could have a significant impact on our profitability. In addition, periods of high grain prices and/or unfavorable market conditions could require us to make additional margin deposits on our exchange traded futures contracts. Conversely, in periods of declining prices, we receive a return of cash.
We believe our sources of liquidity will be adequate to fund our operations, capital expenditures and payments of dividends in the foreseeable future.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
Our Rail Group utilizes leasing arrangements that provide off-balance sheet financing for its activities. We lease assets from financial intermediaries through sale-leaseback transactions, the majority of which involve operating leasebacks. Rail Group assets we own or lease from a financial intermediary are generally leased to a customer under an operating lease. We also arrange non-recourse lease transactions under which we sell assets to a financial intermediary, and assign the related operating lease to the financial intermediary on a non-recourse basis. In such arrangements, we generally provide ongoing maintenance and management services for the financial intermediary, and receive a fee for such services. On most of the assets, we hold an option to purchase the assets at the end of the lease.
