The earnings call summary reveals strong financial metrics, with adjusted EBITDA growth and resumed share repurchases indicating confidence. While RNG sales volumes were initially lower, a rebound is expected, and new projects are underway. The Q&A section highlights optimism about the 45Z bill and improved market conditions, despite some uncertainties. The continued interest in sustainable equipment and potential benefits from policy outcomes further support a positive outlook. Overall, the combination of financial performance, strategic developments, and shareholder returns suggests a likely stock price increase in the short term.
Revenue $102 million for Q2 2025, compared to the previous year, this includes a $6 million alternative fuel tax credit revenue that expired in 2025. The increase is attributed to higher fuel volumes from both RNG and conventional natural gas, together with favorable pricing and cost mix.
RNG Volumes Increased by 21% compared to Q1 2025. This growth was anticipated after production challenges in Q1 due to unusually cold weather.
Operating Cash $241 million in cash and investments as of June 30, 2025, up from $217 million at the beginning of the year. This increase is attributed to improved operating cash generation.
Net Loss $20.2 million for Q2 2025, compared to $16.3 million a year ago. The 2024 results benefited from $6 million alternative fuel tax credit revenue and $2.2 million of LCFS revenues, which were not present in 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA $17.5 million for Q2 2025, compared to $18.9 million in Q2 2024. However, 2024 included $8.2 million of noncomparable income. The improvement in 2025 is due to higher fuel volumes and favorable pricing and cost mix.
RIN Revenue Increased by 77% in Q2 2025 compared to Q1 2025, driven by higher RNG volumes.
LCFS Revenue Lower in Q2 2025 due to a 20% drop in LCFS prices since Q1 2025.
Dairy RNG Projects Losses remained consistent between Q1 and Q2 2025. Five out of six projects are in ramp-up mode, with corrective actions being taken to increase production. The Del Rio, Texas project is producing positive EBITDA and steadily increasing production.
RNG Dairy Projects: Six dairy projects are operational, with two large projects in Texas and Idaho nearing production by year-end. Construction has begun on additional projects with Moss Energy.
Heavy-Duty Truck Market: Adoption of RNG in heavy-duty trucks is progressing slowly but shows promise due to policy changes and cost savings of up to $2 per gallon.
Transit Agencies: Clean Energy fuels over 9,000 transit buses daily at 115 locations, with increasing adoption of RNG for cost and emissions benefits.
Waste Companies: Growing business with waste companies as they expand natural gas fleets, leveraging Clean Energy's steady RNG supply.
Financial Performance: Q2 2025 revenue reached $102 million, with $17.5 million in adjusted EBITDA. RNG volumes grew 21% from Q1 2025.
Cash Position: Ended Q2 2025 with $241 million in cash and investments, up from $217 million at the start of the year.
RNG Development: Focus on expanding RNG production to capture more value through environmental credits and tax incentives.
Policy and Market Positioning: Policy changes now allow fleets to consider multiple technologies, enhancing RNG's competitiveness in the market.
Regulatory Atmosphere: The company faces challenges due to a shifting regulatory environment, including uncertainties around tariffs and evolving policies in California and Washington, which have impacted truck sales and created market hesitations.
Heavy-Duty Truck Market: Sales of trucks equipped with the new X15N engine are below expectations, partly due to regulatory uncertainties and market hesitations. This has slowed the adoption of RNG in the heavy-duty trucking sector.
RNG Dairy Projects: Five out of six operating dairy RNG projects are in ramp-up mode and not yet producing expected revenue. Corrective actions are being taken, but delays have tempered the 2025 outlook for these projects.
RIN and LCFS Pricing: Lower RIN and LCFS prices in 2025 compared to the previous year have negatively impacted revenue, with LCFS prices dropping 20% in the second quarter alone.
Alternative Fuel Tax Credit Expiration: The expiration of the alternative fuel tax credit for 2025 has removed a revenue source that benefited the company in 2024.
Net Loss and Financial Performance: The company reported a GAAP net loss of $20.2 million for Q2 2025, an increase from the $16.3 million loss in the same quarter of 2024, partly due to the absence of non-comparable income sources from the previous year.
Updated 2025 Financial Projections: The company expects to exceed the high end of its original guidance for 2025 financials.
Heavy-Duty Truck Market: The company remains optimistic about the adoption of RNG in the heavy-duty truck market, despite slower-than-expected sales of trucks equipped with the new X15N engine. Recent policy changes and market developments, such as Freightliner offering the X15N option, are expected to drive adoption.
RNG Development Projects: Two major RNG projects in Texas and Idaho are on schedule to begin production by the end of 2025. Additionally, dairy RNG projects with Moss Energy have begun construction.
2025 Financial Guidance: The company has raised its guidance for 2025, projecting a GAAP net loss of $217 million to $212 million and adjusted EBITDA of $60 million to $65 million. This reflects trends observed in the first half of the year, with caution around uncertainties like X15N adoption, RIN and LCFS pricing, and dairy project ramp-ups.
The selected topic was not discussed during the call.
The earnings call presents mixed signals: a rise in revenue and cash reserves is offset by increased net loss and declining EBITDA. Optimistic future projections and new initiatives could boost sentiment, but the lack of clear guidance and uncertainties in RNG adoption and supply agreements temper enthusiasm. The stock price is likely to remain stable over the next two weeks, with no significant catalysts for a strong move in either direction.

The earnings call presents mixed signals: positive EBITDA growth and a resumed share repurchase program are offset by stagnant revenue due to tax credit expiration and significant GAAP losses. The Q&A highlights potential risks from tariffs and regulatory changes, though management remains optimistic about future purchases and legislation. The RNG Incentive Act could provide upside, but uncertainty and competitive pressures persist. The lack of clear guidance on critical issues tempers enthusiasm, suggesting a neutral impact on stock price over the next two weeks, especially without market cap data to gauge volatility.
Clean Energy's earnings call highlights solid financial performance with a 9% increase in RNG sales and strong EBITDA growth. The partnership with Maas Energy and the expansion into hydrogen fueling stations are promising. The share repurchase program and optimistic guidance for RNG market growth further bolster positive sentiment. However, uncertainties in regulatory issues and management's vague responses in the Q&A session slightly temper the outlook. Overall, the positive aspects outweigh the negatives, leading to a positive sentiment.
