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”). 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 recurring items, considered necessary for 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, 2014. | |
We have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. | |
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2013 was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries. | |
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, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”). | |
New Accounting Standard | |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. The core principle of the new revenue model 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 standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. |

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. The exchange traded contracts are primarily via the regulated Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("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 same method it uses to value its grain inventory. 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 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 Company nets, by counterparty, its futures and over-the-counter positions against the cash collateral provided or received. 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 September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, 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: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Earnings Per Share | ||||||||||||||||
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. The Company’s nonvested restricted stock is considered a participating security since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. | ||||||||||||||||

Segment Information | ||||||||||||||||
The Company’s operations include six reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered. The Grain business includes grain merchandising, the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities and the investments in Lansing Trade Group, LLC (“LTG”) and the Thompsons Limited joint ventures. The Ethanol business purchases and sells ethanol and also manages the ethanol production facilities organized as limited liability companies, one is consolidated and three are investments accounted for under the equity method. There are various service contracts for these investments. Rail operations include the leasing, marketing and fleet management of railcars and other assets, railcar repair and metal fabrication. The Plant Nutrient business manufactures and distributes agricultural inputs, primarily fertilizer, to dealers and farmers. Turf & Specialty operations include the production and distribution of turf care and corncob-based products. The Retail business operates large retail stores, a specialty food market, a distribution center and a lawn and garden equipment sales and service facility. Included in “Other” are the corporate level amounts 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, directly or indirectly, holds investments in companies that are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s equity in these entities is presented at cost plus its accumulated proportional share of income or loss, less any distributions it has received. | ||||||||||||||||||
On January 22, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with LTG for a partial redemption of the Company's investment in LTG for $60 million. At the time of redemption, the Company's interest in LTG reduced from approximately 47.5 percent to approximately 39.2 percent on a fully diluted basis. A portion of the proceeds ($28.5 million) was considered a distribution of earnings and reduced the Company's cost basis in LTG. The difference between the remaining proceeds of $31.5 million and the new cost basis of the shares sold, net of deal costs, resulted in a book gain of $17.1 million ($10.7 million after tax).

In July 2013, the Company, along with Lansing Trade Group, LLC, established joint ventures that acquired 100% of the stock of Thompsons Limited, including its investment in the related U.S. operating company, for a purchase price of $152 million, which included an adjustment for excess working capital. The purchase price included $48 million in cash paid by the Company, $40 million in cash paid by LTG, and $64 million of third-party debt at Thompsons Limited. As part of the purchase, LTG also contributed a Canadian branch of its business to Thompsons Limited. Each Company owns 50% of the investment. Thompsons Limited is a grain and food-grade bean handler and agronomy input provider, headquartered in Blenheim, Ontario, and operates 12 locations across Ontario and Minnesota. All major operating decisions of these joint ventures are made by their Board of Directors; the Company does not have a majority of the board seats. Due to these factors, the Company does not have control over these joint ventures and accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. | ||||||||||||||||||

As part of the marketing agreements with the unconsolidated ethanol LLCs, the Company guarantees payment by the customer for distillers dried grains ("DDG") sales where the Company has identified the buyer, which would be the Company's maximum exposure. In September 2014, it was determined that a customer's contracts were in default due to DDG import issues in China and the Company recorded a guarantee liability of $3.3 million within the Grain Group. As the Company has not experienced historical losses and the remaining DDG receivable balances greater than 30 days past due is immaterial, the fair values of the related guarantees are inconsequential at September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013.

Investment in Debt Securities | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company owns 100% of the cumulative convertible preferred shares of Iowa Northern Railway Corporation (“IANR”), which operates a short-line railroad in Iowa. As a result of this investment, the Company has a 49.9% voting interest in IANR, with the remaining 50.1% voting interest held by the common shareholders. The preferred shares have certain rights associated with them, including voting, dividends, liquidation preference, redemption and conversion rights. Dividends accrue to the Company at a rate of 14% annually whether or not declared by IANR and are cumulative in nature. The Company can convert its preferred shares into common shares of IANR at any time, but the shares cannot be redeemed until May 2015. This investment is accounted for as “available-for-sale” debt securities in accordance with ASC 320 and is carried at estimated fair value in “Other noncurrent assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in IANR as of September 30, 2014 was $15.0 million. See Footnote 9 for additional discussion on the change in the investment value. | ||||||||||||||||||
Based on the Company’s assessment, IANR is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Since the Company does not possess the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of IANR and therefore does not consolidate IANR. The decisions that most significantly impact the economic performance of IANR are made by IANR’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has five directors; two directors from the Company, two directors from the common shareholders and one independent director who is elected by unanimous decision of the other four directors. The vote of four of the five directors is required for all key decisions. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company’s current maximum exposure to loss related to IANR is $22.0 million, which represents the Company’s investment at fair value plus unpaid accrued dividends to date of $7.0 million. The Company does not have any obligations or commitments to provide additional financial support to IANR. | ||||||||||||||||||

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. | |||||||||||||||||
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, the Company has concluded that “basis” is a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to the 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 its business, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a material input to fair value for these commodity contracts. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s convertible preferred securities are measured at fair value using a combination of the income and market approaches and have been classified as Level 3. Specifically, the income approach incorporates the use of the Discounted Cash Flow method, whereas the Market Approach incorporates the use of the Guideline Public Company method. Application of the Discounted Cash Flow method requires estimating the annual cash flows that the business enterprise is expected to generate in the future. The assumptions input into this method are estimated annual cash flows for a specified estimation period, the discount rate, and the terminal value at the end of the estimation period. In the Guideline Public Company method, valuation multiples, including total invested capital, are calculated based on financial statements and stock price data from selected guideline publicly traded companies. On an annual basis, a comparative analysis is then performed for factors including, but not limited to size, profitability and growth to determine fair value. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company is party to borrowing arrangements with a syndicate of banks. One such agreement was amended on March 4, 2014 and provides the Company with $850 million in line of credit. The Company can designate up to $400 million of borrowings as long-term when the debt is used for long-term purposes such as replacing long-term debt that is maturing, funding the purchase of long-term assets, or increasing permanent working capital when needed. The maturity date for the line of credit is March 2019. See Note 10 in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K for an additional description of the remaining arrangements. Total borrowing capacity for the Company under all lines of credit is currently at $878.1 million, including $28.1 million non-recourse debt of The Andersons Denison Ethanol LLC ("TADE"). At September 30, 2014, the Company had a total of $847.1 million available for borrowing under its lines of credit. Our borrowing capacity is reduced by a combination of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

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. In 2013, the Company recorded a $3.5 million gain in other income related to the settlement of an early rail lease termination. | |
The estimated range of loss for all outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible of occurring is not material. The Company has received, and is cooperating fully with, a request for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”) regarding the history of the grain and fertilizer facility along the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio. The U.S. EPA is investigating the possible introduction into the Maumee River of hazardous materials potentially leaching from rouge piles deposited along the riverfront by glass manufacturing operations that existed in the area prior to the initial acquisition of the land in 1960. The Company has on several prior occasions cooperated with local, state and federal regulators to install or improve drainage systems to contain storm water runoff and sewer discharges along the riverfront property to minimize the potential for such leaching. Other area land owners and the successor to the original glass making operations have also been contacted by the U.S. EPA for information. No claim or finding has been asserted thus far. |

Income Taxes | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, income tax expense of $10.3 million was provided at 34.7%. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, income tax expense of $10.3 million was provided at 36.5%. The lower 2014 effective tax rate is due primarily to the benefit associated with income attributable to noncontrolling interests that does not increase tax expense. | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, income tax expense of $49.8 million was provided at 34.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, income tax expense of $36.9 million was provided at a rate of 37.7%. The higher 2013 effective tax rate was due primarily to a correction made with respect to the accounting for the other comprehensive income (“OCI”) portion of the Company’s retiree health care plan liability and the Medicare Part D subsidy. The 2014 effective tax rate also reflects a benefit associated with income attributable to noncontrolling interests that does not increase tax expense. |

Acquisitions | |
On October 7, 2014, the Company purchased Auburn Bean and Grain, which included six grain and four agronomy assets. The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Auburn Bean and Grain, in related transactions valued at an aggregate $39.5 million, including $5.0 million in cash, and a stock for stock merger transaction for approximately 556 thousand unregistered shares of the Company's common stock. Separately, the Company paid $20.4 million in cash for certain facilities previously leased by Auburn Bean and Grain. Simultaneous with the purchase of the Sellers' shares the Company assumed long term debt, principally in the form of a senior secured term loan, in the amount of approximately $11.5 million. The purchase provides combined grain storage capacity of approximately : 18.1 million bushels, 16.0 thousand tons of dry and 3.7 million gallons of liquid nutrient capacity. In addition to the increased capacity, the acquisition enhances the Company's presence in Michigan, which is a core geographic state, and includes rail interchange agreements already in place with all of the eastern U.S. Class I railroads. | |
The Company also acquired substantially all of the assets of two San Antonio, Texas-based, food grade companies, United Grain LLC and Keller Grain, Inc. for a purchase price of $7.2 million plus an adjustment for excess working capital. The purchase of United Grain LLC was completed on October 14, 2014 and Keller Grain, Inc. on October 17, 2014. The facilities allow the Company continue to grow its food grade corn business, by expanding into a region that it does not currently have a presence and where there is a reliable source of food grade corn. | |
Due to the timing of the Auburn Bean and Grain, United Grain LLC and Keller Grain, Inc. acquisitions, the initial accounting and valuation work for the acquisitions was incomplete at the time these financial statements were issued. As such, other than the information noted above, the provisional balance sheet and purchase price allocation, along with the amount of goodwill acquired, the breakdown of each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, contingent consideration arrangements, and the intangible asset details, were unknown and unable to be disclosed. | |
Pension Plan Termination | |
In October 2014, the Company started the process to terminate the Defined Benefit Pension Plan. The process is in the preliminary stages and the termination is expected to be completed by the end of 2015. The distribution of assets will occur through a lump sum payment option for participants and, for those who do not elect a lump sum payment, annuity contracts. Upon the distribution of assets, the projected benefit obligation will be removed from the balance sheet and the Company will recognize any unamortized net gain or loss included within accumulated other comprehensive income related to the defined benefit plan into current period earnings. |
