“Our team performed well and delivered solid second quarter results that support the outlook for a strong year in 2023,” said Deanie Elsner, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Benson Hill. “After nearly two months as interim CEO and more than four years on the Company’s Board of Directors, I continue to be impressed with our competitive advantages in technology, innovation pipeline, and the strength of the talent here. However, in light of the evolving market conditions, the time is right to initiate a broad strategic review to identify the most effective ways to unlock the Company’s full potential behind our technology platform and innovation pipeline.”

Second Quarter Results Compared to the Same Period of 2022

The following financial results exclude the completed divestiture of the Fresh business on June 30, 2023. The impact of open mark-to-market timing differences on the statement of operations and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the accompanying financial tables.

  • Reported revenues were $109 million, an increase of $15.4 million, or 16.5 percent. Strong customer demand and greater availability of proprietary soy ingredients, meal and edible oil products resulted in a 52.8 percent increase in proprietary revenues to $18.6 million. Non-proprietary revenues increased 11 percent due to a continuation of favorable soy and yellow pea commodity prices and strong operational execution. Reported revenues included an unfavorable $0.3 million impact from open mark-to-market timing differences.
  • Gross profit was $3 million, a decrease of $2.8 million. Excluding an unfavorable impact of $3.1 million from open mark-to-market timing differences, gross profit increased by $5.6 million to $6.1 million and gross margins were 5.6 percent. Favorable top line growth was partially offset by continued inflationary and supply chain pressures.
  • Operating expenses were $40.4 million, an increase of $8.1 million. The increase was driven by a $19.2 million impairment of the carrying value of goodwill. Excluding the recorded impairment, operating expenses declined by $11.1 million to $21.2 million.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.9 million, a decrease of $9.4 million or 46.5 percent due to a $6.2 million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation.
  • R&D expenses were $10.3 million, a decrease of $1.7 million or 14.1 percent.
  • Inclusive of open mark-to-market timing differences and impairment of goodwill, net loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $49.1 million, an increase in the reported loss by $24 million. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $16.1 million compared to a loss of $14 million. Excluding the impact of open mark-to-market timing differences, the Adjusted EBITDA loss in the quarter was $13 million compared to a loss of $19.2 million.
  • Cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities of $117.9 million were on hand as of June 30, 2023.

First Six-Month Results Compared to the Same Period of 2022

  • Revenues were $243.7 million, an increase of $83.9 million, or 52.5 percent. Proprietary revenues were $43.9 million, an increase of 67.3 percent. Reported revenues included a favorable $6.5 million impact from open mark-to-market timing differences.
  • Gross profit was $12.5 million, an increase in profitability of $15.7 million, which includes a $2.1 million impact related to favorable open mark-to-market timing differences.
  • Operating expenses were $69.2 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 6.7 percent, which includes a $19.2 million impairment of the carrying value of goodwill and a one-time $6.2 million decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation. Excluding these one-time and non-cash items, operating expenses declined by 13.3 percent to $56.2 million and included cost reductions realized through the Company’s Liquidity Improvement Plan.
  • Inclusive of the mark-to-market timing differences and impairment of goodwill, the reported net loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $54 million compared to a net loss of $42.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $26.8 million compared to a loss of $45.1 million.

2023 Outlook

Excludes the Fresh business which was divested on June 30, 2023 and was classified as discontinued operations until its divestiture.

Management reaffirmed its guidance for proprietary revenues from $100 million to $110 million, a 40 percent to 50 percent increase over the prior year. Non-proprietary revenues are expected to decline moderately on a year-over-year basis in favor of proprietary products, which continues to set the expectation for consolidated revenues to be in the range of $390 million to $430 million.

Consolidated gross profit is now expected to be $20 million to $25 million compared to the prior guidance of $20 million to $30 million. This represents a more than doubling of gross profit compared to the prior year, driven by anticipated increases in proprietary sales, a greater contribution from partnership and licensing agreements, and favorable soy commodity markets for non-proprietary product sales. This outlook includes assumptions for a continuation of inflationary pressures and challenges in supply chain logistics.

The Company is taking additional actions to reduce operating expenses by $10 million annually in 2024. The operating expense savings from the Liquidity Improvement Plan are now expected to be approximately $33 million, an increase in savings from the previously disclosed $23 million target. Management now expects to realize $15 million of operating expense savings in 2023 compared to the original $10 million target announced earlier this year. Including an unfavorable net impact of $12 million from one-time and non-cash expenses in the second quarter, management expects operating expenses in 2023 to be $122 million to $127 million and a net loss from continuing operations of $127 million to $137 million. Guidance for Adjusted EBITDA loss remains unchanged at $53 million to $58 million. Capital expenditures are expected to decline by approximately $5 million to a range of $15 million to $20 million. Guidance for free cash flow loss remains unchanged at $110 million to $118 million, given the uncertainty regarding the use of cash during the fall harvest.

Elsner added, “We are taking steps from a position of strength to ensure that we create the most value for shareholders and best orient our business to capture the opportunities ahead. Specifically, we are reducing additional costs across the organization, and the Board has retained Lazard Frères & Co. LLC to help the Company explore strategic alternatives. The Company is also exploring joint venture opportunities, partnerships with strategic and financial investors, asset sales, and licensing opportunities. We are meeting the latest challenges head on and continue to be adaptable in our approach to increasing shareholder value.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, the Company includes references to non-GAAP performance measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and are similar measures reported by publicly listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. By referencing these non-GAAP measures, the Company’s management intends to provide investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company’s performance for the periods presented. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures of performance used by other companies in other industries or within the same industry. In addition, the Company has and may in the future modify how it calculates non-GAAP performance measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables accompanying this press release.

Material Items Included in Consolidated Revenues and Cost of Sales

(In Thousands)

Currently, the Company does not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its derivative financial instruments; thus changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings.

Mark-to-market timing difference comprises the estimated net temporary impact resulting from unrealized period-end gains/losses associated with the fair valuation of futures contracts associated with the Company’s committed future operating capacity. These mark-to-market timing differences are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

(In Thousands)

This press release contains financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations excluding income taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of warrants and conversion option, goodwill, and long-lived asset impairment, restructuring-related costs (including severance costs) and the impact of significant non-recurring items. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash used in (provided by) operating activities minus capital expenditures.

Adjustments to reconcile net loss from our continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA are as follows:
