FutureFuel's Q3 revenue drops, net loss widens
FutureFuel reported a 56% year-over-year decline in Q3 revenue, resulting in a net loss of $9.3 million compared to a profit of $1.2 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $6.8 million. The revenue drop is attributed to challenges in the biofuel segment, including high input costs and uncertainty in clean fuel production credits. FutureFuel plans to restart biodiesel production in late Q4 2025 and anticipates improvements in its chemicals segment and potential cost reductions from a record soybean oil harvest.
