Can We Drive Sustainability Through “Compositional Productivity?” Dig deeper into our latest position paper, which highlights how Benson Hill’s Made from Better™ approach is driving #sustainable impact on U.S. soybean acres and in downstream industries striving toward environmental goals. www.bensonhill.com/impact #Sustainability #BHIL #Soybeans #WorldFoodDay

Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!

On this Thanksgiving, we celebrate the shared success of our growing network of seed partners, licensees, customers, and collaborators. Together, we're positively impacting multiple industries with high-quality #soybeans designed to Nourish Innovation. Thank you for being part of our work to create Better Feed, Better Food, and Better Fuel. If you'd like to partner with us, please reach out to our team after the holiday at www.bensonhill.com. #Seedinnovation #BHIL #Thanksgiving

SEED INNOVATIONS TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND DELIVER A BETTER BEAN How we deliver a better soybean is connected to what we have already learned about them. By directing our soybean seed breeding efforts to Compositional Productivity, Benson Hill offers Made from Better™ soybean seed innovations that are: • Better for feed and food production: Livestock feed represents a significant portion of global agricultural emissions and is a major cost in animal production. By improving the protein content, concentrations of amino acids, and anti-nutrient levels in our flagship soybean varieties, Benson Hill can help farmers produce more environmentally sustainable, nutritious feed for poultry and other species and reduce the need for excessive land use and additional supplements for animal production. This higher protein content brings efficiency and lower carbon intensity to alternative meat markets as well, supporting nutrition security for a growing population. • Better for energy production: Benson Hill’s Ultra-High Oil (UHO) soybeans, scheduled for release at the end of the decade, are optimized for use in renewable diesel, to help reduce emissions in the transportation sector. By offering a low-carbon-intensity feedstock for biofuel production, our soybean innovations can help decarbonize plant-based fuels while supporting a cleaner energy future. We can grow these high-oil soybeans domestically as a certified deforestation-free crop, further minimizing their environmental impact. • Better for the value chain: Our seeds and asset-light business model are designed to generate shared value across the supply chain. Soybean farmers benefit from increased yields and lower input costs (particularly with herbicide-tolerant varieties). Processors gain access to high-quality soybeans designed for various applications. And downstream companies retain reliable sources of more responsible ingredients and feedstock for feed, food, or biofuel production. Discussions with value chain participants about our innovation pipeline center on the mass balance within the soybean that will deliver the greatest value to the customer. Independent analysis and Benson Hill’s practical experience with business partners demonstrate that improving Compositional Productivity creates significant ripple effects across the entire value chain, from farming to food production. By enabling low-carbon agriculture commodities, our proprietary soybeans offer downstream companies a seamless solution to help achieve Scope 3 emissions reduction goals.

Our vision is to create a future where farmers can seamlessly and efficiently grow soybeans with more value per acre, using fewer resources overall. By 2025 we expect Benson Hill genetics will be able to address up to 70% of U.S. soybean acres and advance #sustainability on a massive scale. Through data-driven insights and continuous innovation, we are confident that Benson Hill’s seed technology can help meet the growing demand for sustainable feed, food, and fuel solutions without expanding land use or disrupting the U.S. #soybean system – thus supporting food security, environmental goals, and energy independence.

NEWS: Benson Hill Announces Third Quarter Financial Results and Strategic Progress •         Third quarter revenues of approximately $34.1 million, an increase compared to $23.5 million in the same period of 2023, reflect residual grain sales in the Company’s transition to a licensing business model. •        Net loss from continuing operations, net of income taxes, was $21.9 million in the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $12.6 million, compared to a loss of $14.4 million in the same period of 2023, due primarily to expense reductions. •        Free cash flow loss in the first nine months of 2024 was $48.9 million, which was approximately 57.7 percent of the free cash flow loss in the same period of 2023. •         The Company ended the third quarter with $14.4 million of cash and marketable securities. •         Third quarter Shareholder Letter provides updates on Benson Hill’s strategic transformation, sustainability approach, and early progress on 2025 seed portfolio advancements.   ST. LOUIS, MO – November 12, 2024 - Benson Hill, Inc. (Nasdaq: BHIL, the “Company” or “Benson Hill”), a seed innovation company, today announced operating and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s focus on cost discipline, strategic partnerships, and its shift to an asset-light business model continue to improve the quality of earnings and position the Company for long-term growth.   “Our third-quarter results reflect Benson Hill’s financial discipline and focus as we transform our business from a closed-loop manufacturing model to an asset-light licensing model,” said Deanie Elsner, Chief Executive Officer of Benson Hill. “There is true and measurable potential for our proprietary seeds portfolio, and collaborations with farmers, seed dealers, poultry producers, soy processors, and academic partners illustrate the industry-wide demand for quality soy traits. As we continue our transformation, strategic partnerships will be pivotal to delivering market-driven demand for our seed innovations - which create value across the supply chain and deliver a clear sustainability advantage.”   During the third quarter, Benson Hill began shipping the remainder of the 2023 Ultra-High Protein, Low-Oligosaccharide (“UHP-LO”) soybeans into the poultry market. In addition, two additional feeding studies were initiated with major broiler producers who, in total, represent more than 40 percent of the U.S. broiler market (6 million acres of the total 14 million acres of soy dedicated to broilers). Additional feeding studies in turkeys (representing 4 million acres of soy) are planned in the first quarter of 2025. The expansion of poultry producers testing UHP-LO, combined with current aquaculture customers, demonstrates the value that Benson Hill’s proprietary soybeans can bring to the large and attractive animal feed market.
