"We are very pleased with our performance for the quarter and full year and remain confident in the long-term sustainability of our business model," said Dave Colo, president and CEO of MGP Ingredients. "Our record annual results reflect continued strength in each of our business segments. Brown goods sales increased 65% and 42% for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. Underpinning this growth was continued demand for our new distillate and aged whiskey. Meanwhile, increased commodity costs and excess supply in the market continue to negatively impact industrial alcohol and white goods gross profit. Sales of our premium plus portfolio of brands grew 23% in the quarter driving further gross margin expansion in our Branded Spirits segment. In our Ingredient Solutions business, we remain encouraged by the traction our specialty wheat starches and proteins continue to gain. These results for the fourth quarter and full year demonstrate the continued success of executing our long-term strategy."

**Distilling Solutions** 

In the fourth quarter 2022, sales for the Distilling Solutions segment increased 23% to $101.2 million, reflecting a 34% increase in sales of premium beverage alcohol. Gross profit increased to $31.7 million or 31.3% of segment sales, compared to $26.9 million, or 32.6% of segment sales in the fourth quarter 2021.

For the full year 2022, Distilling Solutions segment sales increased 22% to $428.5 million, reflecting a 28% increase in sales of premium beverage alcohol, due to continued strong new distillate and aged American Whiskey sales. Gross profit increased to $126.3 million, or 29.5% of segment sales, compared to $114.1 million, or 32.4% of segment sales in 2021.

**Branded Spirits** 

For the fourth quarter 2022, sales for the Branded Spirits segment decreased less than 1% to $60.9 million. Sales of the premium plus price tier spirit brands grew 23%. Gross profit increased to $24.7 million, or 40.6% of segment sales compared to $20.9 million, or 34.3% of segment sales in the fourth quarter 2021.

For the full year 2022, Branded Spirits sales increased 30% to $237.9 million, reflecting the full year impact of the merger with Luxco as well as continued strength in the premium plus portfolio of brands. Sales of the premium plus price tier spirit brands grew 56%. Gross profit increased to $95.5 million, or 40.1% of segment sales, compared to $62.6 million, or 34.1% of segment sales in 2021. Adjusted gross profit increased to $95.5 million, or 40.1% of segment sales, compared to $65.2 million, or 35.5% of segment sales.

In the fourth quarter 2022, sales for the Ingredient Solutions segment increased 24% to $29.0 million. Gross profit increased to $6.9 million, or 23.8% of segment sales, compared to $5.0 million, or 21.2% of segment sales in the fourth quarter 2021.

For the full year 2022, Ingredient Solutions segment sales increased 28% to $115.9 million, driven primarily by higher sales of specialty wheat starches and specialty wheat proteins.

------

**2023 Outlook** 

MGP is offering the following consolidated guidance for fiscal 2023:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sales are projected to be in the range of $815 million to $835 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $178 million to $183 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted basic earnings per common share are forecasted to be in the $5.05 to $5.20 range, with basic weighted average shares outstanding expected to be approximately 22.2 million at year end.

Full year 2023 guidance measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic EPS are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because MGP is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, and other items not reflective of MGP's ongoing operations.

Forward looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with such words as "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "hopeful," "should," "may," "will," "could," "encouraged," "opportunities," "potential," and/or the negatives or variations of these terms or similar terminology.

All such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, (i) disruptions in the operations at any of our facilities, (ii) the availability and cost of grain, flour, and agave, and fluctuations in energy costs, (iii) the effectiveness of our grain purchasing program to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations, (iv) the effectiveness or execution of our strategic plan, (v) potential adverse effects to operations and our system of internal controls related to the loss of key management personnel, (vi) the competitive environment and related market conditions, (vii) the impact of COVID-19 and other pandemics, (viii) the effects of inflation and our ability to effectively pass raw material and other price increases on to customers, (ix) our ability to maintain compliance with all applicable loan agreement covenants, (x) increases in interest rates, (xi) our ability to realize operating efficiencies, (xii) actions of governments, and (xiii) consumer tastes and preferences.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures** 

In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP. In addition to the comparable GAAP measures, MGP has disclosed adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted MGP earnings, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per common share. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, net income used in earnings per common share calculation, and basic and diluted EPS computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for these GAAP measures. The non-GAAP adjustments referenced in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Measures to Adjusted Non-GAAP Measures," take into account the impacts of items that are not necessarily ongoing in nature and/or predictive of the Company's operating trends. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures when evaluating the Company's operating results compared to prior periods on a consistent basis, assessing financial trends and for forecasting purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to other companies, even if

similar terms are used to identify such measures. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The impacts of the Convertible Senior Notes were included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if the impact was dilutive. The Convertible Senior Notes would only have a dilutive impact if the average market price per share during the quarter and year to date period exceeds the conversion price of $96.23620 per share. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, the inclusion of the shares had a dilutive impact and were included in the diluted EPS calculation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Number of bonds outstanding is calculated by taking the principal amount of the bonds divided by the par value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Average share price is calculated by taking the average of the daily closing share price for the period. If the average share price is less then the conversion price of 96.23620 per share, the impact to EPS is anti-dilutive and therefore the shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Impact of conversion is calculated by taking the number of bonds outstanding multiplied by the initial conversion rate multiplied by the average share price. If the average share price is less then the conversion price then the impact of conversion is zero.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Conversion premium in shares is calculated by taking the conversion premium divided by the average share price. If the average share price is less then the conversion price then the conversion premium in shares is zero.
