Establishes 67% Ownership Interest in the Pacific Ethanol Plants
Obtains $10.0 million Line of Credit for the Pacific Ethanol Plants
Enters New Corn Oil Separation Agreement for the Stockton Plant
Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEIX), the leading marketer and producer of low-carbon renewable fuels in the Western United States, reported its financial results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2012.
“During the third quarter, we continued to pursue key strategies to secure a strong foundation for the company’s growth,” stated Neil Koehler, the company’s president and CEO. “We raised $21 million in two public offerings, funding our increased ownership interest in the Pacific Ethanol plants to 67%, which provides us with greater strategic control of the plants to support more efficient and cost effective operations. We also expanded by $10 million the plants’ existing $40 million revolving credit facility to support plant operations. In addition, we are further diversifying revenue streams by moving forward with implementation of corn oil separation technology at our Magic Valley and Stockton plants, which we expect to contribute revenue beginning in the first quarter of 2013.”
“The ethanol industry has experienced unprecedented challenges this year. We are diligently focused on improving yields, reducing costs, and increasing operating margins. Even in the face of the worst commodity margin environment in years, we have narrowed operating losses sequentially each quarter since the start of 2012. The long-term outlook for ethanol remains promising, and we are well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Net sales were $215.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $271.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. The decline in net sales is attributable to both a lower average price per gallon of ethanol sold and a reduction in total gallons sold. Total gallons sold were 107.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 122.6 million gallons in the third quarter of 2011.
Gross loss was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to gross profit of $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. The decrease is attributable to unfavorable margins from the Pacific Ethanol plants. SG&A expenses were $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2011.
Loss available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2012 was $6.3 million, compared to income of $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of positive $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2011.
The company’s cash balance was $18.7 million at September 30, 2012, compared to a cash balance of $8.9 million at December 31, 2011.
Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net sales were $619.0 million, compared to $659.4 million for the same period in 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, loss available to common stockholders was $14.5 million, compared to income available to common stockholders of $4.2 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2012 was negative $5.0 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of positive $5.6 million for the first nine months of 2011.
Q3 Results Conference Call
Management will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time / 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on November 13, 2012.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss)
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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and fair value adjustments. The table at the end of this release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) attributed to Pacific Ethanol, Inc. Management provides an Adjusted EBITDA 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 an alternative to net income (loss) 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 it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP.
Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEIX) is the leading marketer and producer of low-carbon renewable fuels in the Western United States.

The actual future results of Pacific Ethanol could differ from those statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, adverse economic and market conditions; changes in governmental regulations and policies; and other events, factors and risks previously and from time to time disclosed in Pacific Ethanol’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, specifically, those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section contained in Pacific Ethanol’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2012 and Form 10-Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2012.
