"2012 was an excellent year for REG and positions us well for 2013,"
said
"We strengthened our financial position both through the IPO and substantial cash flow generation. This enabled us to increase our cash balance while continuing to invest in plant modernization and pay down debt," continued Oh.
"We enter 2013 as one of the stronger players in the biodiesel industry. Both the 2013 RVO and the extension of the blenders tax credit lead us to anticipate industry growth of nearly 30% this year. We intend to protect our market share and capture a portion of this growth."
Operating Highlights
REG produced 36 million gallons of biodiesel in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 43 million gallons in the same period in 2011. REG sold 38 million gallons of biodiesel in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 19% compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in Q4 2012 as compared to 2011 is the result of the expiration of the blenders tax credit and RVO requirements making Q4 2011 unusually strong.
For the full year 2012, REG produced 163 million gallons of biodiesel, compared to 135 million gallons in the same period in 2011. REG sold 188 million gallons of biodiesel in 2012, an increase of 25% compared to the same period in 2011.
During the quarter, REG executed its plan to grow its domestic
distribution footprint by acquiring two additional biorefineries and
entering into distribution relationships creating a large biodiesel

Investors are cautioned that this allocation is an estimate made by the company as an aid to comparing results with prior periods. The allocation is an approximation of the amount of the benefit that might have been received if the blenders tax credit were in force at the time. The blenders tax credit benefit is allocated based upon gallons sold for each quarter. The allocation for each quarter of 2012 is presented in the table below that reconciles GAAP results to Adjusted EBITDA.

for 2012 is expected to result in a net benefit to REG of approximately

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
REG presents Adjusted EBITDA because the company believes it assists investors in analyzing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. In addition, REG uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate, assess and benchmark its financial performance on a consistent and comparable basis. REG excludes non-cash stock-based compensation and non-cash other income (expense) items because it does not believe that they are indicative of the company's ongoing operating performance. REG includes the portion of the blenders tax credit that was earned for its performance in 2012 but will not be recognized until 2013 as discussed above. REG's measure of Adjusted EBITDA might be different than similar financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP metrics are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are not a substitute for or superior to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
