OPAL Fuels Inc. ("OPAL Fuels" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:OPAL), a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG) for use as a transportation fuel and renewable electricity, today announced financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

"During the third quarter OPAL Fuels continued to make strong progress on our long-term strategic growth plans while delivering solid operating and financial results," said co-CEO Adam Comora. "Production from RNG projects in operation continues to be on target. Many of the headwinds that we were experiencing for projects in construction are now behind us. Additionally, we closed on a $500 million credit facility that provides a clear funding pathway for our RNG production projects and growing number of company-owned fueling stations. OPAL Fuels remains well positioned to capitalize on strengthening end markets – both upstream and downstream – as a leading vertically integrated RNG company."

Other significant third quarter developments include signing of a joint venture with South Jersey Industries (SJI) to develop two RNG projects (the first of which is Atlantic County Landfill which recently entered construction), and commencement of operations of the Emerald RNG Project, a joint venture with GFL where our ownership share represents approximately 1.3 million MMBtu of annual design capacity. The Company now has 5.2 million MMBtu of annual design capacity online across 8 projects, more than tripling our design capacity over the last two years, and an additional 4.4 million MMBtu of design capacity from projects currently in construction.

"We are pleased with this quarter's performance and remain confident our recent achievements position us well to continue executing on our growth plans. We have also enhanced our disclosures with additional information regarding RNG production and monetization. The additional disclosures should help investors in thinking about both the near and longer-term earnings power of the business," said co-CEO Jonathan Maurer.

Financial Highlights

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $71.1 million and $169.1 million, up 7% and 0.2% compared to same periods last year.
Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $0.2 million and $106.9 million compared to $5.4 million and $0.6 million in the comparable periods last year.
Basic net earnings per share attributable to Class A common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $(0.01) and $0.59, respectively compared to $(0.04) and $(0.04) in the comparable periods last year.
Based on the change in presentation described below, Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $16.5 million and $19.9 million compared to $17.7 million and $33.0 million in the comparable periods last year.
- After corresponding with the SEC staff, the Company has decided to no longer include the value of stored RNG and unsold environmental credits held for sale ("RNG Pending Monetization") in its presentation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company previously presented Adjusted EBITDA in this way to match the value of RNG produced during the reporting period with its associated costs of production in the same reporting period and including the value of unsold environmental credits. The Company now presents this RNG Pending Monetization and environmental credit sales activity in the period with a new summary table.

Utilization of Inlet Gas % ^{(3) (4)}	84	%	85	%	85	%	87	%

⁽¹⁾ Design Capacity for RNG facilities is measured as the volume of feedstock biogas that the facility is capable of accepting at the inlet and processing during the associated period. Design Capacity is presented as OPAL's ownership share (i.e., net of joint venture partners' ownership) of the facility and is calculated based on the number of days in the period. New facilities that come online during a quarter are pro-rated for the number of days in commercial operation.

⁽²⁾Inlet Design Capacity Utilization is measured as the weighted average of Volume of Inlet Gas, divided by the total Design Capacity. The Volume of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on, among other factors, (i) the quantity and quality of waste deposited at the landfill, (ii) waste management practices by the landfill, and (iii) the construction, operations and maintenance of the landfill gas collection system used to recover the landfill gas. The Design Capacity for each facility will typically be correlated to the amount of landfill gas expected to be generated by the landfill during the term of the related gas rights agreement. The Company expects Inlet Design Capacity Utilization to be in the range of 75-85% on an aggregate basis over the next several years. Typically, newer facilities perform at the lower end of this range and demonstrate increasing utilization as they mature.

⁽³⁾ Data not available for the Company's dairy projects, i.e., Sunoma and Biotown.

⁽⁴⁾Utilization of Inlet Gas is measured as weighted average of RNG Fuel Produced divided by Volume of Inlet Gas. Utilization of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on availability and efficiency of the facility and the quality of landfill gas (i.e., concentrations of methane, oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases). The Company generally expects Utilization of Inlet Gas to be in the range of 80% - 90%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe these measures provide important supplemental information to investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results. We use these measures, together with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP"), for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations, that when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide give a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We strongly encourage you to review all of our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not solely rely on any single non-GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP financial measures are limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results. The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for the items described below (and/or other items that may arise in the future as the Company's management deems appropriate), and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses, charges or gains like the non-GAAP adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measure as indicators of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company's presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. We strongly encourage you to review all of our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not solely rely on any single non-GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure that it calls adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"). This non-GAAP measure adjusts net income for realized and unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, net loss attributable to non-redeemable non-controlling interests, transaction costs and one-time non-recurring charges, non-cash charges, gain on deconsolidation of VIEs, amortization of basis differences in equity method investments, major maintenance for Renewable Power and unrealized loss (gain) for derivative instruments. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information about the Company's performance, for the following reasons: (1) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to assess the Company's operating performance and make financial and operational decisions; (2) the measure excludes the effect of items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating performance and may obscure trends in the business; (3) the measure better aligns revenues with expenses; and (4) the measure is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's business. In future quarters, the Company may adjust for other expenditures, charges or gains to present non-GAAP financial measures that the Company's management believes are indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results. The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for the items described below (and/or other items that may arise in the future as the Company's management deems appropriate), and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses, charges or gains like the non-GAAP adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
