  7. High Return Ethanol Investments 7 • Calculated based upon the weighted average capital invested and pre-tax returns generated over the time period.

  8. Ethanol Industry Considerations • The ethanol industry produced approximately 15.3 billion gallons of ethanol in 2016, thereby reducing U.S. reliance on foreign oil • Helps U.S. balance of trade • Helps U.S. move towards energy independence • ~540 million barrels of imported oil displaced • Approximately 1/3 of corn in ethanol production is returned to feed market in the form of distiller grains, corn gluten meal and corn oil (1) • National benefits • Ethanol production generates higher tax revenues • Ethanol production added ~$42 billion to GDP (1) • Ethanol production grew household income by ~$23 billion( 1) • ~$9 billion paid in federal, state and local taxes (1) • Industry receives no tax subsidies • Farm states are less impacted by challenged economic environment • Ethanol estimated to have supported over 339,000 jobs, including across ancillary industries, from agriculture to manufacturing to the service sector (1) • On a life cycle basis, corn-based ethanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by ~34% compared to gasoline – 14.3 billion gallons of ethanol reduced GHG emissions by 43.5 million metric tons, the equivalent of taking 9.3 million cars off the road (1) 8 • 1.

  17. Segment Income Statement Data • Includes results attributable to non-controlling interests of approximately 25% for One Earth and approximately 1% for NuGen. • Includes results attributable to non-controlling interests of approximately 5%. • Refined coal sales are reported net of the cost of coal. • We record our tax provision/benefit based on an estimated annual rate adjusted for items recorded discretely. This estimate was significantly reduced beginning in the third quarter of the current year, as we began operating our recently acquired refined coal facility. This resulted in a disproportionate tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 as the cumulative effect of the reduced annual rate was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. 17
