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, 2018.2019. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 20172018 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 20172018 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, 20172018 (the “2017“2018 Form 10-K”).
New Accounting Standards
Derivatives and Hedging
Leasing
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,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 606)842). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in July 2018 with ASU 2018-10 and in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, and December 2016 within2018 with ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively. The core principle of the new revenue standard 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. The Company adopted the standard in the current period using the modified retrospective method. 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 deferred tax liabilities and $8.4 million decrease to retained earnings. See Note 7 for further detail.
Leasing
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842).2018-11. ASC 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. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using the Comparative Under ASC 842840 method, which requires lease assets and liabilities to be recognized in the 2019 balance sheet and statement of equity and forgo the comparative reporting requirements under the modified retrospective transition method. The Company also made an accounting policy election to keep short-term leases less than twelve months off the balance sheet for all classes of underlying assets, as well as elected to use the practical expedient that allows the combination of lease and non-leasecontract components in all of its underlying asset categories. In addition, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients that allows entities to forego reassessing at the transition date: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether unamortized initial direct costs for existing leases meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new guidance. See Note 14 for additional information.
Other applicable standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This ASU reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within.2019. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements noting it is not material. Early adoption is permitted, howeverbut the Company doeshas not planchosen to early adopt. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and must be adopted using either the modified retrospective approach, which requires application of the new guidancedo so at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or the optional alternative approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the standard’s effective date.this time.
The Company expects this standard to have the effect of bringing certain off balance-sheet rail assets 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. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the 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 ASU 2017-09 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. Under this standard, 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. The FASB then issued ASU 2018-07 which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company has adopted these standards during the year, noting no impact as the Company has not made any modifications to our stock compensation awards.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 Compensation-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 Company has adopted this standard in the first quarter using the retrospective approach and prior periodscurrent year which did not have been recast to reflect this change, noting the amounts are immaterial.a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 immaterial.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in November 2018, April 2019 and May 2019 with ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05,respectively. 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.manner. 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, but the Company does not plan to do so.
In January 2016, the FASB issued 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. The Company has adopted this standard in the first quarter noting the impact is immaterial.

5. Derivatives
The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The GrainTrade 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 CME.
commodity exchanges. 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. ContractsMost contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyond one year.
AllMost 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 primarily 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 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 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, 2018,2019, December 31, 20172018 and June 30, 2017,2018, 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, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's other derivatives:

As of June 30, 2018 the Company had one outstanding interest rate derivative, with a notional amount of $40 million and a maturity date of March 2021, that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. The gain or loss on the derivative isderivatives are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.
At June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's other derivatives: |

Approximately Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately 4% and 6% of revenues were accounted for under ASC 606, are recorded over time which primarily relates to service revenues noted above.respectively.
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

TheExclusive of acquisition related impacts, the residual 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. ContractThe contract liabilities relate to the Plant Nutrienthave two main drivers, including Trade prepayments by counter parties and payments for primary and specialty nutrients received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. The primary and specialty business records contract liabilities for payments received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. DueFurther, due to seasonality of this business, contract liabilities were built up in the
first quarter.quarter of the year. In the second quarter, the changedecrease in liabilities is due to the revenue recognized in the current period relating to the liability.

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 basisliability built up 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.first quarter.
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
The Company has elected to apply the following practical expedients provided by ASC 606:
Future performance obligations - see discussion above.
Contract costs - see discussion above.
Shipping and handling activities - see discussion above.
Sales tax presentation - the Company has elected to exclude from the transaction price all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer.
Modified retrospective approach - see discussion in Note 1 regarding adoption elections.
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 forecastforecasted 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.7$11.0 million at an effective income tax rate of 26.6%27.2%. 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 permanentincome taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax differencesrate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 also includes tax benefits from equity method investments.foreign and general business tax credits. The net increase in effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2018 resulted2019 as compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to the impacts of nondeductible compensation and noncontrolling interest, partially offset by benefits from 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. 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.on foreign earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2017,2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $7.7 million at an effective income tax rate of (40.1)%26.6%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7.4$5.6 million at an effective income tax rate of 27.7%26.7%. 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.income taxes on foreign earnings. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 20182019 also includes tax expense due to changes in the state allocation/apportionment as a result of a statutory merger.benefits from foreign and general business tax credits. The increasedecrease in effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to the same period last year was primarily 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,income taxes on foreign earnings and discrete activity in the prior period ended June 30, 2017 the Company hadfor a loss before income taxes after a goodwill write-off whichstatutory merger that did not provide a corresponding tax benefit.recur in the current period. For the six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.1$7.4 million at an effective income tax rate of (20.8)%27.7%.
The Company’s accounting for certain elements of the Tax Act was incomplete as of the period ended December 31, 2017, and remains incomplete as of June 30, 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 a 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 $1.4 million for 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, its rate may 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 ("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.

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 exchanged-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 quoted on the CME or the New York Mercantile Exchangevarious exchanges 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“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 Agribusinessagribusiness industry, we have concluded that basis“basis” is typically a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to our commodity derivatives.derivatives, depending on the specific commodity. 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 materialsignificant 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 2.2 Inventories. 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 haswe have delivered provisionally priced grain and a subsequent payable or receivable is set up for any future changes in the grain price, quoted CBOTexchange prices are used and the liability is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. AllFor all other unpriced contracts primarilywhich include variable futures and basis components, the amounts recorded for 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 as they include variable future and basis components.hierarchy.
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 CBOTexchange prices and as such, the balance is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible preferred securities are interests in several early-stage enterprises that may be in various forms, such as convertible debt or preferred equity securities.
A reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the Company’s fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs is as follows:

13. Segment Information
The Company’s operations include four reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered. The GrainTrade business includes grain merchandising, the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities and, historically, the investments in LTG and Thompsons Limited. In January 2019, the Company acquired the remaining 67.5% of LTG equity that it did not already own. The transaction also resulted in the consolidation of Thompsons Limited of Ontario, Canada and related entities, which LTG and the Company jointly owned. The Company is continuing to evaluate its segment reporting structure as a result of the acquisition. The presentation includes a majority of the acquired business within the legacy Grain Group which has been renamed, Trade Group. The acquired ethanol trading business of LTG is included within the Ethanol Group. This presentation is still preliminary as the reporting structure may further evolve this year. The Company also moved certain commission income and an elevator lease from the legacy Grain Group to the Ethanol Group to better align business segments. Prior year results have been recast to reflect this change. The Ethanol business purchases and sells ethanol, and provides risk management, origination and management services to ethanol production facilities. These facilities are organized as limited liability companies, two are consolidated and three are investments accounted for under the equity method. The Company performs a combination of these services under various contracts for these investments. The Plant Nutrient business manufactures and distributes agricultural inputs, primarily fertilizer, to dealers and farmers, along with turf care and corncob-based products. Rail operations include the leasing, marketing and fleet management of railcars and other assets, railcar repair and metal fabrication. Prior to 2018, the Company 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, the Company closed the Retail business during 2017, and accordingly has recast the prior results for this segment within theThe Other category which also includes other corporate level costs not attributable to an operating segment.
The segment information below includes the allocation of expenses shared by one or more operating segments. Although management believes such allocations are reasonable, the operating information does not necessarily reflect how such data might appear if the segments were operated as separate businesses. Inter-segment sales are made at prices comparable to
normal, unaffiliated customer sales. The Company does not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total revenues.revenue. |

The Company often has the option to renew lease terms for buildings and other assets. The exercise of a lease renewal option is generally at the sole discretion of the Company. In addition, certain lease agreements may be terminated prior to their original expiration date at the discretion of the Company. Each renewal and termination option is evaluated at the lease commencement date to determine if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The table below summarizes the weighted average remaining lease terms as of June 30, 2019.

Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term | |
Operating leases | 4.3 years |
Finance leases | 7.1 years |
The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for each lease is determined based on its term and the currency in which lease payments are made, adjusted for the impacts of collateral. The table below summarizes the weighted average discount rate used to measure the Company's lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019.

15. 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 Company recorded a $5.0 million reserve relating to an outstanding non-regulatory litigation claim, based upon preliminary settlement negotiations in the first quarter of 2019. The claim is in response to penalties and fines paid to regulatory entities by LTG in 2018 for the settlement of matters which focused on certain trading activity.
The estimated losses for all other outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible isare not material.
Commitments
In the first quarter of 2018, the
The Company begancontinues its construction of a new ethanolbio-refinery facility, which is expected to be completed in 2019. Portions of the project are covered by design and build contracts, with approximately $129.2$13 million of the remaining obligation not yet incurred, of which $12.9$0.9 million has been prepaid, as of June 30, 2018.2019.
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 $23.5 million, $24.3 million, and $23.9 million at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company has recorded a build-to-suit financing obligation in other current liabilities of $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $0.8 million at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, respectively.

The goodwill recognized as a result of the LTG acquisition is $129.9 million and is allocated to the Trade Group segment. A portion of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the addition of an assembled workforce and complementary assets with greater scale that significantly expands the Company's reach in the agricultural marketplace. Due to refinements in the valuation and finalization of certain replacement equity award during the second quarter, goodwill increased approximately $7.5 million and other intangible assets decreased $9.6 million as well as various working capital adjustments. The Company also finalized the determination of the preacquisition fair value of its preexisitng ownership interests, which resulted in a revision of the previously recorded pretax loss by $2.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, as described in our 20172018 Form 10-K, have not materially changed through the second quarter of 2018,2019, other than as a result of adopting the new revenue recognitionlease accounting standard. See additional information regarding these policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial statements herein in Notes 1 and 7.14.
Executive Overview
Our operations are organized, managed and classified into four reportable business segments: Grain,Trade, Ethanol, Plant Nutrient, and Rail. Each of these segments is generally based on the nature of products and services offered. Prior to 2018, we reportedIn January, the Retail operations as a fifth reportable business segment even thoughCompany completed the acquisition of 67.5% of LTG equity that it did not meetalready own. The transaction also resulted in the quantitative thresholds forconsolidation of Thompsons Limited of Ontario, Canada and related entities, which LTG and the Company jointly owned. The Company is continuing to evaluate its segment disclosures. As previously disclosed, we closedreporting structure as a result of the Retailacquisition. The presentation here includes a majority of the acquired business during 2017, and accordingly have recast the prior results for this segment within the Other category,legacy Grain Group which has been renamed, Trade Group. The acquired ethanol trading business is included within the Ethanol Group. As a result of the LTG acquisition, the Company also includes other corporate level costs not attributablemoved certain commission income and an elevator lease from the legacy Grain Group to an operating segment.the Ethanol Group to better align business segments. Prior year results have been recast to reflect this change.
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.
GrainFurther, we have considered the potential impact that the Company’s total shareholders’ equity exceeded the Company’s market capitalization value at various points during the quarter for impairment indicators. While we ultimately concluded that the book value in excess of market capitalization is a short-term anomaly and that no impairment triggering event has occurred, the assessment performed for goodwill may be influenced by these market conditions and affect the calculated fair value of the reporting unit at the annual October 1 assessment date. A goodwill impairment charge might result if recent weaknesses in our business units prove to be long-term in nature and affect our forecast for future years. Total goodwill across the Company is $135.9 million.
Trade 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, 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, show a net decrease.LTG acquisition.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities
Our operating activities used cash of $43.9$84.8 million and $45.2$43.9 million in the first six months of 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. The decreaseincrease in cash used was due to changes in working capital, as discussed above.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $46.4$271.4 million through the first six months of 20182019 compared to cash used of $64.2$46.4 million in the prior year. Proceeds from sale of Rail Group assets increased as a result of an increase in revenue from car sales. Additionally, cashCash used for the purchasesacquisition of property, plant, equipment, and softwarebusiness increased $147.7 million 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 assets from the sale of three Tennessee grain locations.LTG acquisition.
In 2018,2019, we expect to spend up to a total of $145$160 million for the purchase of railcars and related leases and capitalized modifications of railcars. We also expect these purchases to be funded from sales and dispositions of railcars or non-recourse debt of approximately $125$135 million during the year.
In addition to the construction of the bio-refinery, total capital spending for 20182019 on property, plant and equipment in our base business excluding rail leasing activity, but inclusive of information technology spending is expected to be approximately $60$180 million.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $114.1$344.4 million and $65.7$114.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. This was largely due to an increase in short-term borrowingsproceeds from new debt issued to finance the LTG acquisition and a decrease of long-term debt as discussed above.higher seasonal working capital.
We are party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks that provide a total of $950.0$1,628.4 million in borrowings. This amount includes $15.0 million of debt of The Andersons Denison Ethanol LLC, $70 million of debt of ELEMENT LLC, and $65.0$200 million of debt of The Andersons Railcar Leasing Company LLC, that is non-recourse to the Company, and $183.4 million of debt of Thompsons, that is non-recourse to the Company. Of that total, we had $642.1$1,006.1 million available for borrowing at June 30, 2018. Peak short-term2019. Consistent with the higher sales volumes as a result of the acquisition borrowings to date were $555 million on April 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.have also increased.
The company also received cash of $21.8 million for a noncontrolling interest in ELEMENT LLC.
We paid $9.3$11.0 million in dividends in the six months of 20182019 compared to $9.0$9.3 million in the prior year. We paid $0.17 per common share for the dividends paid in January and April of 2019 and $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.of 2018. On May 11, 201810, 2019 we declared a cash dividend of $0.165$0.17 per common share payable on July 23, 201822, 2019 to shareholders of record on July 2, 2018.1, 2019.
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, 2018.2019. 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 and railcar assets.
Because we are a significant borrower 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. However, much of this risk is mitigated by hedging instruments that are in place. 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 could 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.
The following table describes our Rail Group asset positions at June 30, 2018:2019:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ("Certifying Officers"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on the results of this evaluation, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2018,2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017.2018. As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any
change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company acquired the remaining equity of LTG and Thompsons during the first quarter of 2019. In connection with the integration of LTG and Thompsons, the Company will implement enhancements to its internal control over financial reporting as necessary. Additionally, the Company is undertaking the phased implementation of an ERP software system. The Company believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and further believes that its internal control environment will be enhanced as a result of this implementation. There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There can be no assurance, however, that any claims or suits arising in the future, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in this Form 10-Q and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
