Third quarter of 2019, the Company reported net sales of $842.0M , as compared with net sales of $812.6M for Q3 2018. The $29.4M increase in net sales resulted from higher finished product fat prices, strong contribution from higher sales values for Food Segment collagen ingredients and higher sales volume that more than offset lower protein pricing.

Net income attributable to Darling for the three months ended September 28, 2019 was $25.7M , or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($6.0)M , or $(0.04) per diluted share, for the Q3 of 2018.  The increase was primarily due to DGD earning $32M in Q3 2019 as compared to a $(2.6)M loss due to extended downtime in the Q3 2018 for completion of the expansion, as well as a $7.2M write-down of our China blood plasma inventory in the Q3 2018 due to the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak.

Under Darling's current share repurchase authorization, the Company repurchased 636,634 shares of common stock during the third quarter and subsequently an additional 407,076 shares in the fourth quarter, totaling $7.5M .

"We reported solid third quarter results, underscored by the strength of our vertically integrated supply chain and excellent execution amid continued trade uncertainty and escalating disease disruption due to African Swine Fever," said Randall C. Stuewe , Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Darling Ingredients Inc. "Overall, our operating segments delivered exceptional results with improved earnings in our Feed Segment as we navigated volatile global markets. Led by our Rousselot Functional Ingredients and Health & Nutrition platform, our Food Segment is solidly positioned to capture growing global demand for collagen ingredients. In the Fuel Segment, higher sales volumes supported solid performance across operations despite the lack of the Blenders Tax Credit."
