Briefing

Alto Ingredients Inc reported a net loss of $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2025.

Alto Ingredients reported net sales of $218.4 million and a net loss of $11.0 million for Q2 2025, compared to net sales of $236.5 million and a net loss of $3.1 million in Q2 2024. The company improved Adjusted EBITDA by nearly $6 million year-over-year through efficiency initiatives and segment performance gains in Western production and marketing, despite challenges from hedging impacts, lower crush margins, and a loading dock outage at Pekin Campus.

  • Net loss widened to $11.0 million primarily due to non-cash hedging effects and lower commodity margins, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to negative $0.2 million from negative $5.9 million.
  • Western production segment turned profitable with $1.9 million gross profit, aided by the Kodiak Carbonic acquisition and cold-idling of Magic Valley facility.
  • Pekin Campus gross profit declined sharply due to derivative losses, dock damage impacting logistics, and reduced high-quality alcohol premiums.
  • Company exceeded $8 million annualized overhead savings target and continues to advance CCS and other capital projects amid regulatory developments.
