Andersons, Inc. delivered a strong first quarter, reporting record net income and a substantial increase in adjusted diluted EPS compared to the prior year. This performance was primarily driven by outstanding results in the Renewables segment, which benefited from record production, strong merchandising, and favorable biofuels policy. The Agribusiness segment also showed significant year-over-year improvement.
