The earnings call reveals several concerns: increased net loss, decreased adjusted EBITDA, and rising operating expenses, which overshadow the revenue growth. The Q&A highlights risks like reliance on specific contracts, technological uncertainties, and management's vague responses on key issues like RVO levels. Despite some positive project developments, the overall sentiment leans negative due to financial struggles and uncertainties, suggesting a potential stock price decline.
Total Revenues $45.1 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $1.8 million or 4.1% compared to $43.3 million in Q2 2024. The increase was primarily due to timing of revenues recognized under a short-term fixed price contract in Q2 2025, partially offset by a decrease in realized RIN pricing and a reduction in RINs available for sale due to EPA BRRR reform.
General and Administrative Expenses $9.0 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $0.3 million or 3.5% compared to $8.7 million in Q2 2024. The increase was driven by higher employee-related costs, including a $1.6 million one-time acceleration of stock-based compensation due to an employee termination.
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Revenues $40.8 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $2.0 million or 5.1% compared to $38.8 million in Q2 2024. The increase was due to higher average commodity pricing for natural gas (82% higher than the prior year) and a 10.5% increase in self-marketed RINs, partially offset by a 22.4% decrease in average RIN sales pricing.
Renewable Electricity Revenues $4.3 million in Q2 2025, a decrease of $0.2 million or 4.5% compared to $4.5 million in Q2 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a 6.7% reduction in production volumes, mainly from planned preventative maintenance at the Bowerman facility.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses for RNG Facilities $17.0 million in Q2 2025, an increase of $3.1 million or 22% compared to $13.9 million in Q2 2024. The increase was driven by timing of preventative maintenance, media change-out maintenance, and other operational enhancements at various facilities.
Adjusted EBITDA $5.0 million in Q2 2025, a decrease of $2.0 million or 28.6% compared to $7.0 million in Q2 2024. The decrease was attributed to discrete nonlinear expenses, including $1.5 million in accelerated stock-based compensation and $3.2 million in preventative maintenance costs.
Net Loss $5.5 million in Q2 2025, an increased loss of $4.8 million compared to $0.7 million in Q2 2024. The increase was due to higher operating expenses, lower realized RIN pricing, and discrete expenses such as accelerated stock-based compensation.

North Carolina Development: Production and revenue generation activities expected to commence in early 2026. Focused on swine waste feedstock for electricity generation. Capital investment increased to $180M-$220M.
Apex Landfill RNG Facility: Second RNG processing facility completed, adding 2,100 MMBtu/day capacity.
Biogenic CO2 Delivery Agreement: 15-year contract for 140,000 tons/year of CO2 delivery to a Texas-based e-methanol facility. Estimated total revenue: $170M-$201M.
Emvolon Collaboration: Pilot project to convert methane emissions into green methanol exceeded expectations. Plans to scale up to 50,000 metric tons/year by 2030.
RNG Production and Revenue: 2025 RNG production expected to range between 5.8M-6M MMBtus, with revenues of $150M-$170M.
Renewable Electricity Production and Revenue: 2025 production expected to range between 178,000-186,000 MWh, with revenues of $17M-$18M.
RNG Production Capacity: Second Apex facility adds 2,100 MMBtu/day capacity. Rumpke facility increased production by 67,000 MMBtu in Q2 2025.
Feedstock Optimization: Efforts in North Carolina include pelletization and advanced processing technologies to optimize swine waste feedstock.
Regulatory Adjustments: EPA's proposed reductions in cellulosic biofuel volumes and biogas regulatory reforms impact RIN pricing and RNG market dynamics.
Tax and Legislative Changes: New tax credits and investment tax credit adjustments under the Inflation Reduction Act and One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Regulatory Changes: The EPA's reduction in cellulosic biofuel volume requirements for 2025 and beyond, coupled with biogas regulatory reforms, has constrained the pricing level of D3 RINs, impacting revenue potential.
Market Pricing Volatility: The company's profitability is highly dependent on the market price of environmental attributes like RINs, which have seen a significant decrease in pricing compared to the previous year.
Operational Costs: Increased operating and maintenance expenses, including discrete nonlinear expenses for preventative maintenance, have impacted financial performance.
Capital Investment Risks: The revised capital investment range for the North Carolina project has increased to $180 million to $220 million, posing financial risks if expected returns are not realized.
Supply Chain Constraints: The limited capacity of RNG utilization for transportation and the need for optimization in feedstock collection and transportation could impact operational efficiency and costs.
Revenue Timing and Recognition: Delays in RIN separation and sales due to regulatory changes have temporarily impacted revenue recognition for 2025.
Tax and Legislative Changes: The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces tax changes that could affect financial planning and tax liabilities.
Project Delays: The CO2 capture and liquefaction project in Texas is not expected to generate revenue until late 2027, delaying potential financial benefits.
Revenue Dependency: The company's reliance on specific contracts, such as the 15-year CO2 delivery agreement, introduces risks if these agreements face disruptions or fail to meet expectations.
Technological and Development Risks: The collaboration with Emvolon for green methanol production is in early stages and not expected to yield short-term financial benefits, posing risks to ROI.
RNG Production and Revenue Guidance for 2025: The company expects RNG production volumes to range between 5.8 million and 6 million MMBtus, with corresponding revenues between $150 million and $170 million. These ranges remain unchanged despite regulatory uncertainties.
Renewable Electricity Production and Revenue Guidance for 2025: The company anticipates Renewable Electricity production volumes to range between 178,000 and 186,000 megawatt hours, with revenues between $17 million and $18 million. This guidance is consistent with previous expectations.

The project focuses on electricity generation from swine waste feedstock, with a capital investment range increased to $180 million to $220 million. A 10-year power purchase agreement has been executed, with an average price of $48 per megawatt hour.
Apex RNG Facility Expansion: A second RNG processing facility has been completed, adding 2,100 MMBtu per day of production capacity. Excess production capacity is expected as the landfill host increases waste intake.
CO2 Capture and Delivery Project: The company plans to deliver 140,000 tons of biogenic CO2 annually to a Texas-based e-methanol facility starting in late 2027. The 15-year contract is expected to generate total revenues between $170 million and $201 million, adjusted by the U.S. Consumer Price Index.
Green Methanol Production Initiative: Following a successful pilot project, the company plans to deploy biogas sites with an aggregate annual production capacity of up to 50,000 metric tons of green methanol by 2030. No short-term financial benefits are expected from this initiative.
