ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) ("Gevo", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our"), a leading developer of cost-effective, renewable hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals that also can deliver significant carbon emission abatement, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company reported a $3.7 million loss from operations and positive Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $6.7 million for the third quarter. This marks a second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA for the Company.
Recent Corporate Highlights
- Consistent Performance: Gevo reported a $3.7 million loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and positive Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, achieving a second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA1, driven by consistent performance at our Gevo North Dakota facility and our renewable natural gas ("RNG") facility.
- Carbon sales: During the third quarter of 2025, we signed a multi-year offtake agreement expected to generate an aggregate of approximately $26 million in Carbon Dioxide Removal ("CDR") credit sales revenues over five years, with an option to expand the volumes under the agreement. We reiterate our target of growing our carbon co-product sales from $1 million in the second quarter to $3-5 million by end of 2025, through our relationships with current customers such as Nasdaq and Biorecro, which we believe will sustain and grow those revenues for years to come. We estimate long-term carbon co-product sales could exceed $30 million per year or more as we optimize how we count and sell our carbon.
- Our carbon is sold under the Puro.Earth standard with more than 1,000 years permanence, which we believe ranks among the most durable and realizable carbon available on the market today.
- Clean Fuel Production Credit ("CFPC"): On November 5, 2025, we announced that Gevo North Dakota sold all $30 million of its remaining 2025 CFPCs, also known as Section 45Z tax credits, bringing the total for the year to $52 million.
- In the third quarter of 2025, our Carbon Capture and Sequestration ("CCS") operation crossed a milestone of more than 560,000 metric tons of carbon sequestered since its startup in June 2022. We believe this demonstrates that CO2 can be effectively captured and sequestered at scale for many years, capturing CO2 that ultimately came from the atmosphere and avoiding CO2 emissions. The Gevo North Dakota site was the world's first ethanol dry mill site to sequester carbon dioxide.
- Operations: During the third quarter of 2025, we produced approximately 17 million gallons of low-carbon ethanol, 46 thousand tons of protein and corn oil co-products, 42 thousand tons of sequestered carbon, and 92 thousand MMBtu of RNG.
- Carbon sales: During the third quarter of 2025, we signed a multi-year offtake agreement expected to generate an aggregate of approximately $26 million in Carbon Dioxide Removal ("CDR") credit sales revenues over five years, with an option to expand the volumes under the agreement. We reiterate our target of growing our carbon co-product sales from $1 million in the second quarter to $3-5 million by end of 2025, through our relationships with current customers such as Nasdaq and Biorecro, which we believe will sustain and grow those revenues for years to come. We estimate long-term carbon co-product sales could exceed $30 million per year or more as we optimize how we count and sell our carbon.
- Jet Fuel Projects (Synthetic Aviation Fuel or "SAF" Projects): Gevo is targeting Final Investment Decision ("FID") in mid-2026 for its planned ATJ-30 facility, a bolt-on growth project to produce jet fuel from existing low-carbon ethanol production at Gevo North Dakota, with an estimated construction time of two to three years. Jet fuel derived from this process is also known as synthetic aviation fuel ("SAF").
- Update on Loan Guarantee: In October 2025, the Company received a letter from U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office (the "DOE LPO") granting an extension of its conditional commitment on a $1.46 billion (excluding $167 million in capitalized interest during construction) loan guarantee until April 16, 2026 (the "Extension"). The Extension allows the DOE LPO and the Company to evaluate certain potential modifications to the project scope in order to address energy policies and priorities. The potential scope modifications include the construction of a lower cost 30 million gallon per year jet fuel production facility (ATJ-30) to develop jet fuel production at the Company's existing ethanol and carbon capture utilization and storage facility in North Dakota and the optimal use of captured carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery.
- Sale of Non-Core Assets: On October 31, 2025, we closed on the sale of Gevo's subsidiary, Agri-Energy, LLC, which owns the idled ethanol production plant in Luverne, Minnesota, for $2 million in cash plus an additional $5 million of future cash installment payments. The sale of Agri-Energy eliminates approximately $3 million per annum of facility idling costs. Gevo continues to own certain isobutanol production equipment at the Agri-Energy site and has rights to use the equipment to produce isobutanol with its patented fermentation technology.
- On September 22, 2025, Frontier Infrastructure Holdings LC ("Frontier") announced a partnership with Gevo and its Verity subsidiary in connection with the launch of Frontier's complete carbon management platform for the ethanol industry. The collaboration leverages Frontier's carbon storage hub in Wyoming, Union Pacific Railroad's CO2 transportation network, and Verity's digital tracking platform to offer ethanol producers access to carbon management infrastructure without pipeline dependencies. Initial anchor commitments have been secured by Frontier from leading ethanol producers, including Midwestern Renewable Energy, an existing Verity client.
- On September 9, 2025, the Company published a new investor presentation, which was filed as an exhibit to its Form 8-K filing on the same day, and also available on the Company's investor relations website. The presentation outlines the Company's Adjusted EBITDA growth opportunities, both in advance of, and in addition to its Jet Fuel Projects. The presentation provides further details on Gevo's Jet Fuel Projects, carbon businesses and growth opportunities in North Dakota.

Management Comment
"In large part we are a different company than a year ago," commented Dr. Patrick Gruber, Gevo's Chief Executive Officer. "Our consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA shows that our baseline business model works. The team is executing, our assets are performing, and we're creating real value by treating carbon as a co-product and delivering its value to end markets that are most willing and able to pay for it. We are generating positive Adjusted EBITDA, and we have plans to make it even stronger. Our profitability as a company doesn't depend on deploying jet fuel. We do however remain committed to developing the jet fuel business, as we expect jet fuel sales to add significant Adjusted EBITDA to our business."
Dr. Gruber continued: "Our operations in North Dakota are generating solid cash flow, and we're identifying opportunities that we believe could triple or even quadruple our Adjusted EBITDA in the fairly near term, with small capital expenditures. We can see a route to achieving more than $100 million of Adjusted EBITDA by executing well with de-bottlenecking the production of carbon, ethanol, protein, feed and oil, and sequestering more carbon."
"That's all before we build a jet fuel plant," Dr. Gruber added. "ATJ-30 will be another big step: a jet fuel project that we think can add roughly $150 million of Adjusted EBITDA once operational. The U.S. would need about 70 plants of that size to fulfill domestic jet fuel demand over the next ten years, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration projections of domestic jet fuel demand, while utilizing abundant corn sugars and ethanol as raw materials to make jet fuel. We believe projects like this are attractive because it's possible to deliver jet fuel at a competitive practical cost to the market, fulfilling a real need; it uses increasingly abundant raw materials like corn and ethanol and it produces and creates many hundreds of permanent and related jobs. Deployment of an ATJ plant could also diversify the geographic footprint of a critical fuel, jet fuel, improving energy security."
Leke Agiri, Gevo's Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Our results underscore the financial improvement we are building across our organization. Growing Adjusted EBITDA marks continued progress towards a sustainable earnings profile."
"Even as we are pursuing exciting growth opportunities," Mr. Agiri continued, "we have also made asset divestitures and trimmed project development expense to match the cadence of financing our jet fuel projects. This highlights how we are focused on converting operational results, growth initiatives and fiscal discipline into cash generation."
Mr. Agiri concluded: "I am pleased to say that in addition to positive Adjusted EBITDA, we are targeting to have neutral or positive cash flows from operations in the future, as we convert the generated and earned CFPC each quarter into cash."
2025 Third Quarter Financial Results
Operating revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, operating revenue increased by $40.7 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to $38.2 million in revenue from Gevo North Dakota, an increase in RNG and environmental attribute revenue of $2.0 million and $0.5 million in revenue from the sale of isooctane.
Cost of production. Cost of production increased $19.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to production costs related to Gevo North Dakota operation, partially offset by $11.8 million 45Z tax credit booked, net of transaction costs. The 45Z tax credit, designed to incentivize the production of SAF, allowed us to lower overall production costs, while maintaining production levels.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $3.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to $4.8 million depreciation related to Gevo North Dakota, partially offset by a $2.5 million reduction of depreciation related to assets fully depreciated at the Luverne, Minnesota ethanol facility.
Research and development expense. Research and development expenses increased $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increased consulting expenses.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense decreased $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in payroll expense, insurance costs, professional and consulting services and computer and software costs, offset by a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation.
Project development costs. Project development costs are primarily related to our Alcohol-to-Jet Projects and Verity, which consist primarily of employee expenses, preliminary engineering costs, and technical consulting fees. Project development costs decreased $3.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a $3.3 million decrease in consulting and professional services fees.
Income (loss) from operations. The Company's loss from operations decreased by $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This improvement was primarily driven by increased revenues from Gevo North Dakota, lower cost of production due to the recognition of the 45Z tax credit, and decreased project development expenses.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $4.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the debt used to acquire Gevo North Dakota and a higher interest rate on our Remarketed RNG bonds.
Interest and investment income. Interest and investment income decreased $2.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of GevoND and to fund our capital projects and operating costs, resulting in a lower balance of cash equivalent investments during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Gevo undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although Gevo believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve many risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from what may be expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. For a further discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of Gevo in general, see the risk disclosures in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Gevo.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, allocated intercompany expenses for shared service functions, and non-cash stock-based compensation from GAAP loss from operations. Management believes this measure is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management's internal comparisons to Gevo's historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. In addition, Gevo believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding Gevo's operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided below.

________________________________________
1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization, allocated intercompany expenses for shared service functions, non-cash stock-based compensation, and the change in fair value of derivative instruments to GAAP loss from operations as well as monetized tax credits, if any. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP loss from operations is provided in the financial statement tables following this release. See Non-GAAP Financial Information below.
