Capital Reallocation Strategy
The company reaffirmed its $25 million share buyback authorization and said it intends to be an active purchaser of its own stock, subject to market conditions. The Board stated that FutureFuel is undervalued at current prices.
Capital previously allocated to dividends will fund projects to expand capacity, commercialize new products, and capitalize on the reshoring of specialty chemicals and advanced materials manufacturing to the United States. The Board expects these investments to improve margins and accelerate growth in the company's chemicals segment.
FutureFuel said it is in a capital-intensive business and believes companies that invest through cycles are positioned to win. The Board expects the shift from dividends to growth investments will create more shareholder value over time.
