    SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alto Ingredients, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTO), a leading producer and distributor of specialty alcohols and essential ingredients, reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

    “Our strategy to diversify into specialty alcohols and essential ingredients continues to serve us well. Sales of these products, combined with a cash grant from the USDA, delivered solid performance and offset higher than usual freight expenses and repair and maintenance costs, resulting in positive gross profit, net income and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter,” said Mike Kandris, CEO of Alto Ingredients. “Anticipating the cash grant, we accelerated the timing of some of our infrastructure improvements. We are upgrading equipment and operating systems to increase efficiency and plant reliability, expanding our corn storage capacity, enhancing our specialty alcohol production and broadening its distribution, and reinvesting in essential ingredients capabilities. Building for the future, we are improving our position to capture a variety of opportunities, and our near- and long-term outlook is promising.”

    Use of Non-GAAP Measures
    Management believes that certain financial measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") are useful measures of operations. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as unaudited net income (loss) attributed to Alto Ingredients, Inc. before interest expense, interest income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, asset impairments, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related expense, fair value adjustments, and depreciation and amortization expense. A table is provided at the end of this release that provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) attributed to Alto Ingredients, Inc. Management provides this non-GAAP measure so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses, which may assist investors in properly assessing the company's performance on a period-over-period basis. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributed to Alto Ingredients, Inc. or any other measure of performance under GAAP, or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.
