Green Plains Sees EBITDA Surge in Q2
Green Plains(NASDAQ:GPRE) reported a net loss of $72.2 million (GAAP) for the second quarter of 2025, including $44.9 million in non-cash charges, but achieved adjusted EBITDA of $16.4 million, up from $5 million in Q2 2024. The company executed strategic divestitures, advanced its decarbonization initiatives, and now forecasts over $150 million in annual EBITDA contribution from its Nebraska carbon capture projects in 2026. Key updates included stronger operating performance, significant cost reductions, and major policy tailwinds supporting future earnings growth.
Green Plains delivered a $50 million annualized cost reduction through operational and SG&A efficiencies as of Q2 2025, while liquidating non-core assets such as the GP Ferrelson joint venture and Proventus, and recorded related non-cash charges. The exit from ethanol marketing for Darrelson occurred prior to the quarter, and placing Fairmont on care and maintenance reduced revenue by 10.7% year-over-year, reflecting renewed focus on high-performing core assets.
Streamlining the business and redeploying capital to core operations reduces organizational complexity and positions Green Plains to capitalize on sector tailwinds with a sharper, more efficient asset base.
