The earnings call highlighted challenges in the Distilling Solutions and Ingredient Solutions segments, resulting in a significant decline in consolidated sales and profitability. Despite these challenges, there were positive aspects such as growth in the premium plus segment and strong cash flow from operations. However, the negative trends, particularly in whiskey sales, are expected to continue into 2025.

During the MGPI Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided guidance for the full year, indicating an expected consolidated sales range of $695 million to $705 million and adjusted EBITDA between $196 million and $200 million.
