REX AMERICAN RESOURCES Corp Segments Disclosure
| 15. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
The Company has one reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments in three ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests and are consolidated in the financial statements presented. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Executive Committee that includes the Executive Chairman of the Board and The Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker uses net income generated from operating segments in determining the allocation of resources and making assessment of Company performance.
In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280 the Company determined that based on the nature of the products and production process and the expected financial results, the Company’s operations at its ethanol plants, each of which is reviewed in the same manner by the CODM, are aggregated into one reporting segment. Aggregation into one reporting segment is appropriate based upon the similarity of economic characteristics of the operating segments, including the markets for identical revenue sources and the primary input, corn. The plants in all locations operate in a similar manner to produce ethanol and by-products. The types of customers and how the products are distributed to the customers are similar across each operating entity, consisting of a combination of rail and truck shipments. Finally, the regulatory environment is largely impacted by guidance from the federal level, impacting each operating segment the same. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
The following tables set forth certain financial data for the Company’s reportable segment for the years ended January 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands):

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
