IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$DAR—Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR) today reported net income of $101.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $84.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. The company continued its focus on operational excellence, which resulted in gross margin improvement in fourth quarter 2024, compared to third quarter 2024, despite lower fat prices. The company also reported total net sales of $1.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with total net sales of $1.6 billion for the same period a year ago, reflecting lower finished product pricing.
“Darling Ingredients delivered its strongest quarter of the year, and delivered some notable milestones,” said Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We started up one of the world’s largest sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) units in Port Arthur, Texas, which is now debt free, and the joint venture delivered meaningful dividends throughout the year. We integrated several acquisitions around the world that position the company well for future growth adapting to global market dynamics.”
For fiscal year ended Dec. 28, 2024, Darling Ingredients reported net sales of $5.7 billion, compared to net sales of $6.8 billion for the same period in 2023. Net income for fiscal year 2024 was $278.9 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $647.7 million, or $3.99 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2023.
DGD sold 293.8 million gallons of renewable diesel for the fourth quarter 2024 at an average of $0.40 per gallon EBITDA. Darling Ingredients received $68.6 million in cash dividends from DGD during the fourth quarter of 2024. For full year 2024, DGD sold 1.25 billion gallons at an average of $0.46 per gallon EBITDA.
Combined Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $289.5 million, compared to $350.9 million for the same period in 2023. For fiscal year 2024, Combined Adjusted EBITDA totaled $1.08 billion, as compared to $1.61 billion for the same period in 2023.
As of Dec. 28, 2024, Darling Ingredients had $76.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $1.16 billion available under its committed revolving credit agreement. Total debt outstanding as of Dec. 28, 2024, was $4.0 billion. The preliminary leverage ratio as measured by the company’s bank covenant was 3.93X as of Dec. 28, 2024. Capital expenditures were $73.3 million for the fourth quarter 2024, and $332.5 million for the year.
“Global raw material volumes remain robust and stronger fat prices in the first quarter of 2025 should provide lift as pending tariffs and the Clean Fuel Production Credit provide greater certainty to the value of domestic feedstocks,” Stuewe said. “Currently, we expect 2025 to be stronger than 2024, gaining momentum throughout the year as DGD turnarounds are completed and SAF sales command a larger percentage of our mix.”
Given fourth quarter 2024 run rates and only one period into the new year, the company is providing guidance of $1.25 to $1.30 billion Combined Adjusted EBITDA and will provide updates as the year progresses.
