FutureFuel Corp Idles Biodiesel Production Amidst Regulatory Uncertainty, Shifts Full Focus to Specialty Chemicals Growth FutureFuel Corp. announced its decision to temporarily idle biodiesel production upon completion of its remaining contractual obligations, anticipated to occur by the end of June. This decision comes despite welcome news last week from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) proposing to increase biomass-based diesel mandates for 2026 and 2027 to 7.12 and 7.50 billion Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”), respectively, a significant jump from 3.35 billion gallons and 5.36 billion gallons in 2025 and 2026, respectively."We welcome the EPA’s proposed increase in biomass-based diesel mandates and thank all who supported this positive change," said Roeland Polet, CEO. "Unfortunately, without clarity on the Clean Fuel Producers Tax Credit (IRA 45Z), which was intended to replace the expired $1 per gallon Blenders Tax Credit (40(A)), FutureFuel has determined it must temporarily idle its biodiesel production for the time being."FutureFuel remains committed to the production of biodiesel and intends to restart production once regulatory conditions improve. The company's Batesville facility boasts flexible production capacity, allowing it to seamlessly switch between specialty chemicals and biodiesel. This unique capability sets FutureFuel apart from other biodiesel producers. In response to current challenges in the biodiesel industry, FutureFuel will redirect certain capacity from biodiesel production to support the growth of its specialty chemicals business. The company also anticipates that investment in new product capacity at its facility will come online in mid-2025. Furthermore, FutureFuel is actively pursuing and executing a robust pipeline of chemical projects for the second half of 2025 and 2026. Announcement • Apr 11

Third quarter dividend of US$0.06 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of US$0.06. Ex-date: 1st March 2024 Payment date: 18th March 2024 Dividend yield will be 4.2%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.1%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (36% earnings payout ratio) but not covered by cash flows (223% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 60% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 16% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 26% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (26% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Announcement • Aug 10
