REX AMERICAN RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2026

Note 1. Consolidated Financial Statements

References to the Company - References to "REX" or the "Company" in the consolidated financial statements and in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to REX American Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries.

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Financial information as of January 31, 2026 included in these financial statements has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 (fiscal year 2025). These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements in this report include the operating results and financial position of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates the results of its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company includes the results of operations of One Earth in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a delayed basis of one month as One Earth has a fiscal year end of December 31.

Common Stock - On May 28, 2026, shareholders adopted an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized common stock from 45,000,000 shares to 90,000,000 shares, which was then filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

Stock Split - On August 26, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted resolutions declaring a two-for-one split of the Company's Common Stock to be effectuated in the form of a 100% stock dividend, payable on September 15, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2025. The stock split has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Nature of Operations - The Company has one reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments in three ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests.

9

In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company determined that based on the nature of the products and production process and the expected financial results, the Company's operations at its ethanol plants are aggregated into one reporting segment.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's fiscal year 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year-end. Examples of such estimates include accrued liabilities, such as management bonuses, and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes bank deposits as well as short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales of ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil when obligations under the terms of the respective contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of products, generally upon shipment from the ethanol plant or upon loading of the rail car used to transport the products.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated net realizable value. Accounts are considered past due if payment is not received on a timely basis in accordance with the Company's credit terms. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the Company believes that all amounts are collectible and an allowance for credit losses was not considered necessary. The balance of accounts receivable at January 31, 2025 was $21.5 million.

Change in Accounting Principles

The Company has determined that it qualifies for clean fuel production tax credits allowable under the IRA and OBBBA. The benefit recognized is determined based on the Company's CI score. The Company intends on utilizing the tax credits earned in 2025 to offset taxes due and payable. The Company has not yet determined to what extent, if any, tax credits earned in 2026 will be monetized.

Effective February 1, 2026, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2025-10, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" ("ASU 2025-10") and as such, changed its accounting policy related to the accounting for Section 45Z tax credits. The Company will record the tax credits earned

10

under the income model of ASU 2025-10 as "Production tax credit income", included within gross profit on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within "Other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined the income model under ASU 2025-10 is preferable to better align with monetization potential in the future. The Company has determined that retrospective adjustment to prior period financials is required. The Company did not record any Section 45Z tax credits until the fourth quarter of 2025, and as such, there is no impact to the first quarter of 2025. As the Company does not intend to monetize the credits earned in 2025, the balance sheet classification as a deferred tax asset remains appropriate. Further, there is no impact to the prior period equity balances as the retrospective adjustments result in an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, offset by an increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests. As such, no retrospective adjustments to the balance sheet are required.

Below is a summary of reclassifications made to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2026 (amounts in thousands):

Year Ended
January 31, 2026
As Previously
Reported
Effect of
Change
As Currently
Reported
Production tax credit income $ - $ 31,723 $ 31,723
Gross profit $ 93,706 $ 31,723 $ 125,429
Income before income taxes $ 88,572 $ 31,723 $ 120,295
Benefit (provision) for income taxes $ 6,502 $ (28,089) $ (21,587)
Net income $ 95,074 $ 3,634 $ 98,708
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests $ (12,123) $ (3,634) $ (15,757)
Net income attributable to REX common shareholders $ 82,951 $ - $ 82,951

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes depreciation, costs of raw materials, third-party freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, other distribution expenses, warehousing costs, plant repair and maintenance costs, production labor and related payroll costs, and general facility overhead charges.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes non-production related costs such as professional fees, selling charges, operating lease expense, and certain payroll in SG&A expenses.

11

Financial Instruments

Certain of the forward corn and natural gas purchase contracts and ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil sale contracts are accounted for under the "normal purchases and normal sales" scope exemption of ASC 815 because these arrangements are for purchases of corn that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company and sales of ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil in quantities expected to be sold by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments (exchange-traded futures contracts and swaps) to manage a portion of the risk associated with changes in commodity prices, primarily related to corn and ethanol. The Company monitors and manages this exposure as part of its overall risk management policy. As such, the Company seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating results. The Company may take hedging positions in these commodities as one way to mitigate risk. While the Company attempts to link its hedging activities to purchase and sales activities, there are situations in which these hedging activities can themselves result in losses. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings as the Company does not use hedge accounting.

Income Taxes

The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company's estimated annual tax rate as adjusted for discrete items impacting the interim periods. The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company did not pay income tax or receive any tax refunds during the three months ended April 30, 2026. The Company paid income taxes of approximately $1.9 million and received no refunds during the three months ended April 30, 2025.

As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $259,000. Accrued penalties and interest were approximately $131,000 and approximately $124,000 at April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, the provision for income taxes would be reduced by approximately $177,000. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest.

Inventory

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost for all inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.

12

Inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-products. Inventory is permanently written down in instances when cost exceeds estimated net realizable value; such write-downs are based primarily upon commodity prices as the market value of inventory is often dependent upon changes in commodity prices. The Company did not record any inventory write-downs at April 30, 2026. The Company recorded approximately $0.1 million of inventory write-downs in cost of sales at January 31, 2026. Fluctuations in the write-down of inventory generally relate to the levels and composition of such inventory and changes in commodity prices at a given point in time.

The components of inventory are as follows (amounts in thousands):

April 30,
2026
January 31,
2026
Ethanol and other finished goods $ 4,387 $ 5,809
Work in process 5,274 5,431
Corn and other raw materials 16,885 17,182
Total $ 26,546 $ 28,422

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost or the fair value on the date of acquisition (for property and equipment acquired in a business combination). Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 40 years for fixtures and equipment.

In accordance with ASC 360-10 "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of long-lived assets is assessed for recoverability by management when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company did not identify any indicators of impairment or record any impairment charges during the first three months of fiscal year 2026 or 2025.

The Company tests for recoverability of an asset group by comparing its carrying amount to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the asset group's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, if any.

Investments

The method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee and also includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for investments in a limited liability company in which it has a less than 20% ownership interest using the equity method of accounting when the factors discussed in ASC 323 are met. The excess of the carrying value over the underlying equity in the net assets of equity method investees is allocated to specific assets and liabilities. Investments in businesses that the Company does not control but over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the equity method. The

13

Company accounts for its investment in Big River using the equity method of accounting and includes the results on a delayed basis of one month as Big River has a fiscal year end of December 31.

The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. Such impairment evaluations include general economic and company-specific evaluations. If the Company determines that a decline in market value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Short-term investments, consisting of U.S. government obligations, are considered held to maturity, and therefore are carried at amortized historical cost.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)", which provides clarity in assessing an entity's performance and prospects for future cash flows by disclosure of more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. This ASU is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended January 31, 2028. Early adoption is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

Note 3. Net Sales and Revenue

The Company recognizes sales of products when obligations under the terms of the respective contracts with customers are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of products, generally upon shipment from the ethanol plant or upon loading of the rail car or truck used to transport the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods. Sales, value added and other taxes the Company collects concurrently with revenue producing activities are excluded from net sales and revenue.

The majority of the Company's sales have payment terms ranging from 5 to 10 days after transfer of control. The Company has determined that sales contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. The Company has not historically entered into sales contracts in which payment is due from a customer prior to transferring product to the customer. Thus, the Company does not record unearned revenue.

Note 4. Leases

Operating Leases

At April 30, 2026, the Company had lease agreements, as lessee, for railcars. All of the leases are accounted for as operating leases. The lease agreements do not contain a specified implicit interest rate; therefore, the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate was used to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The lease term for all of the Company's leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease and any periods covered by renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Certain leases include rent escalations pre-set in the agreements, which are factored into the lease payment stream.

The components of lease expense, classified as SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Three Months Ended
April 30,
2026 2025
Operating lease expense $ 2,052 $ 2,008
Variable lease expense 46 66
Total lease expense $ 2,098 $ 2,074
Total cash paid in measurement of lease liability $ 1,922 $ 2,171

Total 18,028
Less: present value discount 1,625
Operating lease liabilities $ 16,403

At April 30, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease term is 2.5 years, and the weighted average discount rate is 6.62% for the outstanding leases.

At January 31, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.7 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 6.61% for the outstanding leases.

Finance Lease

At April 30, 2026, the Company had one lease agreement that was classified as a finance lease for an electrical substation facility. Prepayments totaling $15.6 million were made prior to fiscal year 2025. This balance was included in the finance lease right-of-use asset calculation upon lease commencement in fiscal year 2025 as a non-cash investing activity. The lease includes monthly payments of approximately $39,000 to be made over the term of the lease. The lease term for this lease includes the noncancelable period of the lease and any periods for which only the Company has the option to cancel but is reasonably expected to continue the lease. Based on this, the lease term was determined to be 10 years. Control of the facility's output was transferred to the Company just before the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, with monthly lease expense commencing in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. For the three month period ended April 30, 2026, expense related to this lease was approximately $0.5 million, which includes approximately $55,000 in interest expense.

The weighted average remaining lease term for the finance lease was 9.0 and 9.3 years as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively. A discount rate of 6.9% was deemed appropriate as an incremental borrowing rate for a 10-year term.

Note 5. Fair Value

The Company applies ASC 820, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values which are provided below. The Company carries certain cash equivalents, investments, and derivative instruments at fair value.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate pricing and volatility factors, which are used to value the position. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. Estimation risk is greater for derivative asset and liability positions that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case interest rate, price or index scenarios are extrapolated in order to determine the fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality, the Company's own credit standing and other specific factors, where appropriate.

To ensure the prudent application of estimates and management judgment in determining the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, investments and property and equipment, various processes and controls have been adopted, which include: (i) model validation that requires a review and approval for pricing, financial statement fair value determination and risk quantification; and (ii) periodic review and substantiation of profit and loss reporting for all derivative instruments.

Note 9. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in commodity prices (raw materials and finished goods). To manage risks associated with the volatility of these natural business exposures, the Company enters into commodity agreements (exchange-traded futures contracts and swaps) and forward purchase (corn) and sale (ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil) contracts. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative financial instruments for which a lack of marketplace quotations would require the use of fair value estimation techniques. The changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings as the Company does not use hedge accounting.

19

The following table provides information about the fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments (that are not accounted for under the "normal purchases and normal sales" scope exemption of ASC 815) and the line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair values are reflected (amounts in table in thousands):

Short-term Investments

At April 30, 2026, the Company owned United States Treasury Bills (classified as short-term investments) that had an amortized cost, or carrying value, of approximately $246.6 million. The contractual maturity of these investments was less than one year. The weighted average yield to maturity rate was approximately 3.7%. Unrecognized holding losses at April 30, 2026 were approximately $107,000.

At January 31, 2026, the Company owned United States Treasury Bills (classified as short-term investments) that had an amortized cost, or carrying value, of approximately $187.0 million. The contractual maturity of these investments was less than one year. The weighted average yield to maturity rate was approximately 3.8%. Unrecognized holding losses at January 31, 2026 were approximately $52,000.

Note 11. Employee Benefits

Until its expiration on June 1, 2025, the Company maintained the REX American Resources Corporation 2015 Incentive Plan, approved by its shareholders, which reserved a total of 3,300,000 split-adjusted shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to its terms. At its time of expiration, 1,065,809 shares (pre-2025 split) remained available for issuance under the plan.

On May 28, 2026, shareholders approved the REX American Resources Corporation 2026 Incentive Plan, which reserves a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to its terms. The plan provides for the granting of shares of stock, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights tied to the value of common stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock unit awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

Restricted Stock Awards

As a component of their compensation, restricted stock has been granted in the past to directors and certain employees at the closing market price of REX common stock on the grant date. In addition, one quarter of executives' incentive compensation is payable by an award of restricted stock based on the then closing market price of REX common stock on the grant date. The Company's board of directors has determined that the grant date will be June 15th, or the next business day if June 15th is not a business day, for all grants of restricted stock.

Based on retirement eligibility provisions, a portion of restricted stock grants were expensed at grant date, based on grant date fair value, thus considered vested for accounting purposes. At April 30, 2026, 20,964 shares were unvested for accounting purposes and unrecognized compensation cost related to these nonvested restricted stock awards was approximately $174,000, to be recognized over a weighted average vesting term of 1.0 year.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company's income tax provision was approximately $4.4 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 17.0% and 21.7% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The primary causes for the difference between the statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate are the impact from nontaxable income associated with 45Z tax credits, as well the impact from noncontrolling interests.

The Company assessed all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it expects sufficient future taxable income will be generated to allow for the realization of existing federal deferred tax assets. There is sufficient objectively verifiable income for management to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will utilize available federal deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. The OBBBA contains various tax reform provisions affecting businesses, such as the extension of bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025 and immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, to result in current deductions that allowed for lower cash paid for income taxes for 2025. The OBBBA made changes to the 45Z and 45Q tax credits that the Company intends to take advantage of which materially impact our financial results. The Section 45Z clean fuel production credit is a general business credit that is allowed with respect to clean transportation fuel produced domestically after December 31, 2024, and before December 31, 2029. This credit, which was part of the IRA, and subsequently extended by the OBBBA, incentivizes the production of clean fuels at our plants that reduce GHG emissions below a CI score of 50. The tax credit utilizes a sliding scale where credits can be earned incrementally between $0.02 and $0.20 ($0.10 and $1.00 if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met) per gallon of non-SAF fuels based on an ethanol plant's GHG reduction below a 50 CI score threshold, with the first two or ten cents earned upon achieving a CI score below 47.5. The Company expects that it is more-likely-than-not that prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements will be met for 2025 and 2026 for its consolidated ethanol plants and has calculated the credit at the applicable credit rate based on its CI score for fiscal 2025 and its estimated CI score for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, after the purchase of EACs.

Effective February 1, 2026, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2025-10, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities" ("ASU 2025-10") and as such, changed its accounting policy related to the accounting for Section 45Z tax credits. The Company will record the tax credits earned under the income model of ASU 2025-10 as "Production tax credit income", included within gross profit on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within "Other assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined the income model under ASU 2025-10 is preferable to better align with monetization potential in the future.

The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various states. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended January 31, 2014 and prior. The Company is currently finalizing, as an agreement in principle has been reached, a federal income tax examination for the years ended January 31, 2015 through January 31, 2022 related to tax credits claimed on returns during those years.

On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next 12 months.

24

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, for the three month periods ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Three Months Ended

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, from time to time. After taking into consideration legal counsel's evaluations of any such action(s), management is of the opinion that their outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no material liabilities recorded for legal actions at April 30, 2026 as the Company did not believe that there was a probable and reasonably estimable significant loss associated with any legal contingencies.

At April 30, 2026, One Earth and NuGen had combined forward purchase contracts for approximately 23.7 million bushels of corn, the principal raw material for their ethanol plants, and they had combined forward purchase contracts for approximately 1.5 million MmBtu (million British thermal unit) of natural gas.

At April 30, 2026, One Earth and NuGen had combined sales commitments for approximately 63.5 million gallons of ethanol, approximately 120,700 tons of distillers grains and approximately 20.4 million pounds of distillers corn oil.

One Earth entered into a 15-year agreement, effective February 1, 2019, with an unrelated party for the use of a portion of that party's natural gas pipeline, with monthly payments of $29,250. One Earth paid

25

approximately $88,000 in the three month periods ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, pursuant to the agreement.

At April 30, 2026, One Earth had signed non-cancelable contracts for capital projects with approximately $12.5 million remaining in future payments.

Note 14. Related-Party Transactions

During the first quarter of fiscal years 2026 and 2025, One Earth and NuGen purchased approximately $18.8 million and $24.8 million, respectively, of corn (and other supplies) from minority equity investors and board members of those affiliates. The Company had amounts payable to related parties of approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million at April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.

Note 15. Segment Reporting

The Company has one reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments in three ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests and are consolidated in the financial statements presented. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting.

The members of the Executive Committee, consisting of the Executive Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, are the Company's chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker uses net income generated from operating segments in determining the allocation of resources and making assessment of Company performance.

In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company determined that based on the nature of the products and production process and the expected financial results, the Company's operations at its ethanol plants are aggregated into one reporting segment, each of which is reviewed in the same manner by the chief operating decision maker. Aggregation into one reporting segment is appropriate based upon the similarity of economic characteristics of the operating segments, including the markets for identical revenue sources and the primary input, corn. The plants in all locations operate in a similar manner to produce ethanol and by-products. The types of customers and how the products are distributed to the customers are similar across each operating entity, consisting of a combination of rail and truck shipments. Finally, the regulatory environment is largely impacted by guidance from the federal level, impacting each operating segment the same.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

Our ethanol operations are highly dependent on commodity prices, especially prices for corn, ethanol, distillers grains, distillers corn oil and natural gas, and availability of corn. As a result of price volatility for these commodities, our operating results can fluctuate substantially. The price and availability of corn is subject to significant fluctuations depending upon several factors that affect commodity prices in general, including crop conditions, the amount of corn stored on farms, weather, federal policy, foreign trade, tariffs, and international disruptions caused by wars or conflicts. Because the market prices of ethanol and distillers grains are not always directly related to corn prices (for example, demand for crude and other energy and related prices, the export market demand for ethanol and distillers grains, soybean meal prices, and the results of federal policy decisions and trade negotiations can impact ethanol and distillers grains prices), at times ethanol and distillers grains prices may not follow movements in corn prices and, in an environment of higher corn prices or lower ethanol or distillers grains prices, reduce the overall margin structure at the plants. As a result, at times, we may operate our plants at negative or minimally positive operating margins.

We expect our ethanol plants to produce approximately 2.9 gallons of denatured ethanol for each bushel of corn processed in the production cycle. We refer to the actual gallons of denatured ethanol produced per bushel of corn processed as the realized yield. We refer to the difference between the price per gallon of ethanol and the price per bushel of corn (divided by the realized yield) as the "crush spread". Should the crush spread decline, it is possible that our ethanol plants will generate operating results that do not provide adequate cash flows for sustained periods of time. In such cases, production at the ethanol plants may be reduced or stopped altogether in order to minimize variable costs at individual plants.

We attempt to manage the risk related to the volatility of commodity prices by utilizing forward corn and natural gas purchase contracts, forward ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil sale contracts, and commodity futures agreements, as management deems appropriate. We attempt to match quantities of these sales contracts with an appropriate quantity of corn purchase contracts over a given period of time when we can obtain an adequate gross margin resulting from the crush spread inherent in the contracts we have executed. However, the market for future ethanol sales contracts generally lags the spot

28

market with respect to ethanol prices. Consequently, we generally execute fixed price contracts for no more than four months into the future at any given time and we may lock in our corn or ethanol price without having a corresponding locked in ethanol or corn price for short durations of time. As a result of the relatively short period of time our fixed price contracts cover, we generally cannot predict the future movements in our realized crush spread for more than four months; thus, we are unable to predict the likelihood or amounts of future income or loss from the operations of our ethanol facilities.

One Earth Energy, LLC Carbon Sequestration and Plant Expansion

One Earth Sequestration, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of One Earth, is in the developmental stage of a carbon sequestration project near the One Earth ethanol plant. In October 2022, we applied to the EPA for a Class VI injection well permit for three wells, and we continue to provide information to the EPA upon request during the technical review of our application. We currently expect the EPA to prepare a draft permit by July 2026 and make a final permit decision by November 2026, according to the EPA's Class VI Permit Tracker Dashboard on their website. We also must obtain certain state and county permits for the sequestration site and connector pipeline. We have completed the construction of the capture and compression facility to capture, dehydrate, and compress carbon dioxide from the One Earth ethanol plant to a state suitable for sequestration. Testing has not yet been completed and we cannot begin construction of the CO2 connector pipeline between the One Earth compression facility and the sequestration well until further permits and approvals are received.

Although we have made meaningful progress and significant investments in the carbon sequestration project at One Earth, we continue to work with the various government agencies involved to obtain all required permits and approvals, with no assurance of the ultimate success or timing of the project. Also see the discussion under "Trends and Uncertainties" relating to the impact of certain recently adopted legislation and certain recently proposed legislation that, if enacted, could affect our carbon sequestration project.

We are also expanding the One Earth ethanol plant. We received a construction permit from the EPA to increase production from 150 million gallons of ethanol per year to 175 million gallons of ethanol per year. Once we achieve that level of production, we intend to apply for another permit to increase production to 200 million gallons per year. We continue to work to identify ways to further reduce our CI score at the One Earth plant with the intention of maximizing tax credits available under the IRA and OBBBA.

We currently budget capital expenditures for both the expansion and sequestration projects at One Earth to be approximately $220 million to $230 million, subject to further refinement as we move forward, including impacts from inflation. We plan to pay for all expenditures from available cash. As of April 30, 2026, we had spent $58.7 million since inception toward the carbon sequestration project and were contractually obligated to spend an additional $0.2 million. If the carbon sequestration project is successful, we believe we will qualify for tax credits under section 45Q, based on tons of carbon sequestered, and section 45Z, based on gallons of ethanol produced, as outlined in the IRA and OBBBA. Companies may elect either the 45Q credit or the 45Z credit in periods in which both tax credits are available. As of April 30, 2026, we had spent $117.7 million since inception and were contractually committed to spend an additional $9.2 million toward plant capacity expansion at One Earth.

The IRA created a new Clean Fuel Production Credit, available for calendar years 2025 - 2027 which, based on proposed rulemaking by the U.S. Department of Treasury, established a tax credit that utilizes a sliding scale where credits can be earned incrementally between $0.02 and $0.20 ($0.10 and $1.00 if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met) per gallon of non-SAF fuels based on an ethanol plant's GHG reduction below a 50 CI score threshold, with the first two or ten cents credit earned upon achieving a CI score below 47.5, to incentivize further increases in plant efficiencies within the industry. The OBBBA extended the time period during which 45Z credits can be claimed by two years, through December 31, 2029. The. U.S. Department of the Treasury issued proposed rules on February 3, 2026 on qualification for 45Z tax credits. Based on proposed regulations, we recognized approximately $31.7 million and $7.5 million in 45Z tax credits through our consolidated subsidiaries for fiscal year 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, respectively. Public hearings were held on the proposed rules in 2026.

In May 2023, NuGen, our majority owned ethanol plant in Marion, South Dakota, signed an agreement to be part of Summit Carbon Solutions' carbon capture and storage pipeline. Should Summit Carbon Solutions be able to obtain all necessary permits and approvals, the agreement would allow NuGen to share in the economic benefits of tax credits through the sale of the CO2 output of its ethanol production facility for sequestration, as well as to reduce its net carbon emissions. In March 2025, South Dakota enacted a law that bans the use of eminent domain in connection with CO2 pipelines. In addition, in March 2026, a North Dakota Court voided the permits issued to Summit Carbon Solutions for underground storage of carbon dioxide as the Court has deemed the law under which the permits were issued to be unconstitutional. Summit Carbon Solutions is analyzing the decision and is contemplating next steps. These actions have delayed and could make the sequestration project for the NuGen facility more difficult for Summit Carbon Solutions to complete.

We plan to seek and evaluate various investment opportunities, including ethanol and/or energy related, carbon sequestration, agricultural or other ventures we believe fit our investment criteria. We can make no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to find such opportunities.

Refined Coal

On August 10, 2017, we purchased, through a 95.35% owned subsidiary, the entire ownership interest of an entity that owned a refined coal facility. We began operating the refined coal facility immediately after the acquisition. Using licensed technology, our plant applied two separate chemicals to convert feedstock coal into refined coal, which was sold to the end user of the refined coal. The refined coal operating results were subsidized by federal production tax credits through November 18, 2021, subject to meeting qualified emissions reductions as governed by Section 45 of the IRC. We ceased operating the facility on November 18, 2021 and subsequently sold the facility. The approximately $58.2 million in federal production tax credits received through the ownership of this facility remain under IRS audit. That audit is in the process of being finalized, with the Company expecting to retain all federal production credits claimed for this project.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

During the three months ended April 30, 2026, we did not change any of our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2026.

Fiscal Year

All references in this report to a particular fiscal year are to REX's fiscal year ended January 31. The Company refers to its fiscal year by reference to the year immediately preceding the January 31 fiscal year end date. For example, "fiscal year 2026" means the period February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027. The Company includes the results of operations of One Earth in its Consolidated Statements of Operations on a delayed basis of one month as One Earth has a fiscal year end of December 31.

Trends and Uncertainties

Renewable Fuel Standard II, established in October 2010, has been an important factor in the growth of ethanol usage in the United States. There has been much uncertainty in the enforcement of RFS II. When it was originally established, RFS II required the volume of "conventional" or corn derived ethanol to be blended with gasoline to increase each year until it reached 15.0 billion gallons in 2015 and required that it remain at that level through 2022. There are no established congressional target volumes beginning in 2023. The EPA has the authority to waive the biofuel mandate, in whole or in part, if there is inadequate domestic renewable fuel supply or the requirement severely harms the domestic economy or environment. In addition, under RFS II, a small refiner that processes fewer than 75,000 barrels of oil per day can petition the EPA for a waiver of their requirement to submit RINs. The EPA, through consultation with the United States Department of Energy and the USDA, can grant the refiner a full or partial waiver, or deny the waiver. The waiving of a refiner's obligation effectively lowers the amount of renewable fuels required to be blended, and by extension the amount of RINs that need to be retired, which can impact their values and ultimately blending levels of renewable fuels. There are multiple ongoing legal challenges to how the EPA has handled SREs and RFS rulemaking. On August 22, 2025, the EPA ruled on much of the backlog of SREs, issuing 63 full exemptions, 77 partial exemptions of 50%, 28 denials and 7 ruled as ineligible. On November 7, 2025, the EPA issued two 100% waivers, twelve 50% waivers and two denials. As of May 21, 2026, there were 40 SRE petitions pending from compliance years 2023-2025.

The EPA has issued RVOs for calendar years 2023-2025. The volumes from conventional biofuels (which includes corn-based ethanol) were 15.0 billion gallons for 2023 through 2025. Additionally, in 2023, the EPA restored 250 million gallons previously waived. On March 27, 2026, the EPA issued total RVOs for 2026 and 2027 of 15.0 billion gallons of conventional ethanol for each year.

The EPA issued emergency waivers allowing the sale of E-15 gasoline for the 2026 summer months. 2026 will represent the fifth consecutive year for these emergency waivers. The EPA has not granted E-15 the same Reid vapor pressure waiver as E-10, so absent the emergency waivers, E-15 may not be sold in most states from June 1 to September 15. Efforts continue in the United States Congress to pass legislation allowing for the sale of E-15 gasoline year-round. On May 13, 2026, House Resolution 1346

31

was passed by the House of Representative which would allow for year-round E-15 sales, but there is no set timeline for consideration in the Senate.

The IRA, signed into law on August 16, 2022, created a new Clean Fuel Production Credit, Section 45Z, originally available for years 2025 to 2027. Based on proposed rulemaking by the United States Department of Treasury, the Clean Fuel Production Credit will be established utilizing a sliding scale where tax credits may be earned incrementally between $0.02 and $0.20 ($0.10 and $1.00 if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met) per gallon of non-SAF fuels based on a plant's GHG reduction below a 50 CI score threshold, with the first two or ten cents credit earned upon achieving a CI score below 47.5. The IRA also raises the carbon capture tax credit under Section 45Q from $50 per metric ton to $85 per metric ton. Companies may elect either the 45Q credit or the 45Z credit in periods in which both tax credits are available.

The OBBBA introduced major revisions to clean energy tax credits. Key provisions include extending the 45Z credit through December 31, 2029, removing the indirect land-use change penalty for crop-based feedstocks beginning in 2026, limiting eligibility to feedstocks under the USMCA, imposing FEOC restrictions, and prohibiting negative emissions rates except from animal manure. It also modified the 45Q tax credit for facilities placed in service after the bill enactment but maintained the $85 per ton tax credit if the prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met. 45Q credits are available for 12 years from the time CO2 injection begins.

We have secured land easements from all necessary landowners to allow the construction of the CO2 connector pipeline on their land from the ethanol plant to the first two injection wells for our carbon sequestration project near the One Earth ethanol facility. We also have landowner subsurface easements for the first injection well with capacity sufficient to allow for carbon sequestration for our One Earth plant for an estimated 15 years. The Illinois Safety and Aid for the Environment in Carbon Capture and Sequestration Act (SB 1289), enacted in 2024, imposes additional safety, environmental and other requirements on obtaining permits and approvals for carbon capture and sequestration facilities in Illinois, including CO2 pipelines. Further, the legislation imposed a moratorium on the issuance of new certificates of authority for the construction of CO2 pipelines until the earlier of the date new federal CO2 pipeline safety standards are finalized by the federal PHMSA or, subject to certain other conditions, July 1, 2026.

Illinois Senate Bill 1723, enacted in 2025, prohibits carbon sequestration activities over, under, or through the aquifer as defined by the EPA. The proposed injection wells for our carbon sequestration project are located outside of these areas.

Although we have made meaningful progress and significant investments in the carbon sequestration project at One Earth, we continue to work with the various government agencies involved to obtain all required permits and approvals, with no assurance of the ultimate success or timing of the project.

The United States exported an estimated 2.2 billion gallons of ethanol in 2025, up from approximately 1.9 and 1.4 billion gallons in 2024 and 2023, respectively. In 2025 and 2024, an estimated 11.6 and 12.1 million metric tons, respectively, of distillers grains were exported from the United States, which represented approximately 36% and 37% in 2025 and 2024, respectively, of U.S production. There has been much discussion around proposed and recently enacted tariffs by the United States and counter-

32

tariffs and other trade restriction involving countries which have been large purchasers from our industry in the United States.

Based on the May 12, 2026 report from the USDA, corn production is forecasted to be approximately 16.0 billion bushels in 2026. The average corn yield is forecasted to be 183 bushels per acre, with planted acres projected to be 95.3 million and harvested acres projected to be 87.4 million. The January 12, 2026 USDA report had estimated a record 2025 corn production of 17.0 billion bushels with an estimated 186.5 bushels per acre, on an estimated 91.3 million acres harvested.

The trends and uncertainties mentioned above could impact our future operating results in both positive and negative ways.

The following table summarizes selected operating data:

Three Months Ended

2026 2025
Average selling price per gallon of ethanol (net of hedging) $ 1.66 $ 1.76
Gallons of ethanol sold (in millions) 71.1 70.9
Average selling price per ton of dried distillers grains $ 155.86 $ 145.65

Average selling price per ton of modified distillers grains $ 76.94 $ 73.44
Tons of modified distillers grains sold 13,427 22,094

Net sales and revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2026 decreased approximately 1% compared to the prior fiscal year first quarter.

Ethanol revenue, net of hedging, decreased 5% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 as the selling price per gallon decreased 6%, while gallons sold increased slightly. Ethanol pricing is affected by many factors, including overall market supply and demand, as well as corn and gasoline pricing.

Dried distillers grains revenue increased 8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 as there was a 7% increase in the average price per ton sold and a 1% increase in tons sold. The increase in the dried distillers grains selling price primarily reflects increased soymeal prices, which are often correlated with the price of distillers grains, as well as increased export demand. The increase in tons sold was impacted by variability in production levels of other ethanol by-products.

Distillers corn oil revenue increased approximately 31% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 as the selling price per pound increased 17% and the amount of pounds sold increased 12%. The corn oil yield per bushel ground improved at our consolidated ethanol plants in the three month period ended April 30, 2026, relative to the comparable period in fiscal 2025. The increase in the distillers corn oil selling price resulted primarily from fluctuations in demand in the renewable biodiesel market.

Modified distillers grains revenue decreased 36% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 as the amount of tons sold decreased by 39%, offset partially with a 5% increase in the average selling price per ton sold. The increase in the modified distillers grains selling price primarily reflects increased soymeal prices, which are often correlated with the price of distillers

34

grains. Our consolidated plants' decisions to sell modified or dried distillers grains fluctuate from time to time based upon market conditions.

The Company has determined that it qualifies for clean fuel production tax credits allowable under the IRA and OBBBA. The benefit recognized is determined based on the Company's CI score to date. The Company recorded $7.5 million in 45Z production tax credit income during the three months ended April 30, 2026 and did not record any in the comparable prior fiscal year period as proposed regulations had not yet been issued.

Cost of sales decreased 6% in the quarter ended April 30, 2026, compared to the prior fiscal year first quarter. Corn accounted for approximately 75% ($101.7 million) of our cost of sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to approximately 74% ($106.3 million) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Natural gas accounted for approximately 6% ($8.7 million) of our cost of sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and 6% ($8.1 million) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 increased approximately $14.7 million compared to the prior fiscal year first quarter.

We attempt to match quantities of ethanol, distillers grains and distillers corn oil sales contracts with an appropriate quantity of corn purchase contracts over a given time period when we can obtain a satisfactory margin resulting from the crush spread inherent in the contracts we have executed. However, the market for future ethanol sales contracts generally lags the spot market with respect to ethanol price. Consequently, we generally execute fixed price sales contracts for no more than four months into the future at any given time and we may lock in our corn or ethanol price without having a corresponding locked in ethanol or corn price for short durations of time. As a result of the relatively short period of time our contracts cover, we generally cannot predict the future movements in our realized crush spread for more than four months. We utilize derivative financial instruments, primarily exchange traded commodity future contracts and swap contracts, in conjunction with certain of our corn procurement activities and commodity marketing activities.

SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 were approximately $9.7 million (6.2% of net sales and revenue), an increase of approximately $3.8 million or 64% from approximately $5.9 million (3.8% of net sales and revenue) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The dollar increase compared to the prior year is primarily related to a $3.2 million increase in performance bonuses due to the increase in net income and recording unpaid stock bonuses at fair value.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we recognized income from our equity investment in Big River of approximately $3.6 million compared to income of approximately $1.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, approximately $1.8 million of our recognized income was from Section 45Z tax credits. Big River did not recognize any benefit from Section 45Z tax credits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 as proposed regulations had not yet been issued. Our investment in Big River, which has interests in four ethanol production plants, represents an effective ownership of approximately 38.7 million gallons of ethanol shipped in the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2026. Due to the inherent volatility of commodity prices within the ethanol industry, we cannot predict the likelihood of future operating results from Big River being similar to historical results.

35

Interest and other income was approximately $3.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 versus approximately $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. One of our consolidated ethanol plants recognized $0.6 million less in patronage income from an investment in a cooperative in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 ($0.1 million) compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 ($0.7 million). We do not expect patronage income from this investment in a cooperative to be significant in future periods. Additionally, there was a slight decrease in interest income of $0.3 million based upon lower balances and yields on our excess cash and short-term investments in fiscal year 2026, compared to fiscal year 2025.

As a result of the foregoing, income before income taxes was approximately $26.1 million and $13.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company's estimated annual tax rate as adjusted for discrete items impacting the interim periods. Our income tax provision was approximately $4.4 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

As a result of the foregoing, net income was approximately $21.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to approximately $10.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was approximately $3.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. These amounts represent the other owners' share of the income of NuGen and One Earth.

As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to REX common shareholders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was approximately $18.5 million, compared to net income attributable to REX common shareholders of approximately $8.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to $3.5 million used in the prior year period.

Operating cash flows for the three month period ended April 30, 2026 reflected net income of $21.7 million and non-cash adjustments of $(1.4) million, and consisted of depreciation, noncash operating lease expense, amortization of finance right-of-use asset, income from equity method investments, interest income from short-term investments, the deferred income tax provision, stock-based compensation expense, and loss on disposal of property and equipment. These inflows were offset by various changes to working capital of $22.4 million during the first three months of fiscal year 2026, most significantly including:

Use of cash of approximately $8.6 million from the decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities as a result of an decrease in accrued payroll of approximately $5.4 million primarily related to the payment of the cash portion of the 2025 incentive bonuses, offset partially by the accrual of the 2026 incentive bonuses to be paid in 2027, a reduction in the lease liability of $1.7 million from payments made during the year, and a decrease in accrued utilities of approximately $1.2 million.
Use of cash of $8.6 million due to a decrease in accounts payable, primarily related to the timing of inventory receipts and vendor payments.
Use of cash of $6.9 million from the increase in accounts receivable as a result of the timing of products shipping and the receipt of customer payments at our consolidated ethanol plants.

In fiscal year 2025, operating cash flow reflected net income of $10.7 million and non-cash adjustments of $4.4 million. These inflows were offset by various changes to working capital of approximately $18.5 million, most significantly caused by:

Use of cash of approximately $8.9 million due to a decrease in accounts payable, primarily related to the timing of inventory receipts and vendor payments.
Use of cash of approximately $6.5 million due to an increase in accounts receivable as a result of the timing of products shipping and the receipt of customer payments at our consolidated ethanol plants.
Use of cash of approximately $3.8 million from the decrease in other liabilities primarily caused by a decrease in accrued payroll which used cash of approximately $5.2 million, due to the timing of annual bonus payments. Additionally, a decrease in the lease liability used cash of $1.5 million based on payments made during the quarter. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in other current liabilities of $3.0 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was $(68.9) million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 versus $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. In fiscal 2026, capital expenditures totaled $11.6 million, primarily at One Earth, which includes plant expansion and CI reduction projects ($9.1 million) and carbon sequestration ($0.4 million). Treasury activity used net cash, as $91.6 million of purchases exceeded $34.0 million of maturities of short term investments.

37

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, capital expenditures were $6.9 million, primarily for various capital projects at our consolidated ethanol plants, including $5.1 million for the expansion project at the One Earth facility and $0.7 million for the carbon sequestration project. Treasury activity provided net cash, as $41.4 million of purchases were more than offset by $50.0 million of maturities for short-term investments.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $62,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, related entirely to finance lease payments. In fiscal year 2025, financing outflows were $34.7 million, including $32.7 million for stock repurchases, and $2.0 million for payments to noncontrolling interests holders.

Capital Resources

At April 30, 2026, working capital was $376.2 million with a current ratio of 6.8x. The Company continues to investigate various uses for our excess cash and short-term investments, including stock repurchases and potential investments in ethanol, energy, carbon sequestration, and agriculture-related ventures.

We expect total capital expenditures related to the construction at the One Earth facilities to approximate $220 million to $230 million, inclusive of the carbon sequestration project and plant capacity expansion project, which we currently plan to pay from our available cash. This estimate is subject to further refinement as the projects progress, including impacts from inflation. As of April 30, 2026, we had spent $58.7 million since inception and were contractually committed to spend an additional $0.2 million toward the carbon sequestration project. As of April 30, 2026, we had spent $117.7 million since inception and were contractually committed to spend an additional $9.2 million toward the plant capacity expansion project. For all projects, we plan to spend $70 million to $80 million during the remainder of fiscal year 2026.

At April 30, 2026, 2,357,186 shares remained authorized for repurchase under the Company's buyback program. Repurchases are generally made when management deems the shares to trade at a discount to intrinsic value.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations associated with commodity prices as discussed below.

We manage a portion of our risk with respect to the volatility of commodity prices inherent in the ethanol industry by using forward fixed-price purchase and fixed-price sale contracts and exchange traded commodity futures contracts. Our remaining exposure to market risk, which includes the impact of our risk management activities resulting from our fixed-price purchase and sale contracts and derivatives, is based on the estimated effect on pre-tax income for the twelve months following April 30, 2026 is as follows, assuming normal operating capacity (amounts in thousands):

Commodity Estimated Total
Volume for
12 Months
Unit of Measure Decrease in Pre-tax
Income From a 10%
Adverse Change in Price
Ethanol 295,000 Gallons $51,551
Corn 102,100 Bushels $38,272
Distillers Grains 695 Tons $ 8,950
Distillers Corn Oil 98,000 Pounds $ 4,976
Natural Gas 7,400 MmBtu $ 1,619

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
