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

"We continue to execute on our strategic and operational goals," said Co-CEO Adam Comora. "In our RNG Fuel segment, production was in-line with our forecasted volumes. We continue to progress on our growth plans - completing construction, and now finalizing the commissioning of, our Emerald project, beginning construction of our newest RNG facility in Polk County, Florida and advancing our development pipeline."

Comora continued, "Of note in the second quarter, the EPA released the final Set Rule of the Renewable Fuel Standard, strongly supporting cellulosic biofuels and validating our vertically integrated business model which delivers renewable natural gas as a transportation fuel. This support resulted in higher compliance targets of D3 RINs that must be purchased by obligated parties and extended the targets through 2025. These three-year targets give the industry a strong investment signal by providing market visibility of D3 RIN demand that should lead to less volatile pricing as well as the ability to sell production forward for multiple years."

"There is continued policy alignment for the development, production, and distribution of renewable natural gas that is produced by collecting and processing harmful methane gas and using it to displace fossil fuels. The EPA's finalized Set Rule, last year's Inflation Reduction Act and the potential for an eRIN pathway provide continued tailwinds for the industry and especially for OPAL Fuels," said Co-CEO Jonathan Maurer.

"Our second quarter results benefited from higher RIN prices and improved Adjusted EBITDA margins in our Fuel Station Services segment. As a result, we believe we are well positioned heading into the second half of 2023," said Maurer.

Financial Highlights

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $55.0 million and $98.0 million, up 3% and down 4%, in the first half of the year compared to the same periods last year. As disclosed in previous reporting, revenue was affected by our decision to defer environmental credit sales until after the EPA's Set Rule was finalized. We anticipate greater revenue recognition during the second half of the year based on improved RIN prices as we begin to monetize these deferred volumes of RINs.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $114.1 million and $106.7 million compared to net loss of $0.3 million and $4.8 million in the same period last year. Excluding the one-time gain on deconsolidation of Emerald and Sapphire, our Adjusted Net loss¹ for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $7.8 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Basic net income per share attributable to Class A common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $0.66 and $0.60, respectively. Excluding the one-time gain on the deconsolidation of our Emerald and Sapphire projects, Adjusted basic and diluted net loss¹ attributable to Class A common shareholders was $0.06 and $0.12 per share, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $21.4 million and $30.1 million, up 92% and 97% compared to the same periods last year.

At June 30, 2023, we had 11.0 million RINs and 0.2 million LCFS credits unsold and pending certification valued at $34.4 million compared to 8.1 million RINs and 0.1 million LCFS credits valued at $17.7 million on March 31, 2023. The increase this quarter of $16.4 million is included in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

We expect our full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to be within our prior $85.0 to $95.0 million range assuming current RIN pricing levels. We anticipate that production will be at or modestly below the low end of prior guidance given the delays at Emerald and Prince William.

Consistent with previous disclosures, to better align current period costs of RNG production with the value of unsold environmental credits and environmental attributes associated with RNG pending certification, we include in Adjusted EBITDA our RNG pending certification and unsold credit inventory for the current period marked at quarter-end index prices.

Operational Highlights

RNG produced was 0.6 million and 1.2 million MMBtu, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 20% and 34% compared to the prior-year periods.

RNG sold as transportation fuel was 11.0 million and 19.3 million GGEs, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 53% and 45% compared to the prior-year periods.

The Fuel Station Services segment sold, dispensed, and serviced an aggregate of 35.5 million and 67.9 million GGEs of transportation fuel for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 32% and 29% compared to the prior-year periods, respectively.

Construction Update

The Polk County landfill RNG project, owned 100% by OPAL Fuels, started construction in June 2023 and we anticipate commercial operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024. This project represents approximately 1.1 million MMBtu of annual nameplate capacity.²

The Emerald RNG project completed construction and will be added to our in-operation portfolio in the third quarter as commissioning is completed. This project represents approximately 1.3 million MMBtu of OPAL Fuels' 50% ownership share of annual nameplate capacity.³

The Prince William RNG project is expected to commence commercial operations in the first quarter of 2024. This project represents approximately 1.7 million MMBtu of annual nameplate capacity which is owned 100% by OPAL Fuels.³

¹ These are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures and how they are calculated are also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

² Nameplate capacity is the annual design output for each facility and may not reflect actual production from the projects, which depends on many variables including, but not limited to, quantity and quality of the biogas, operational up-time of the facility, and actual productivity of the facility.

³ Represents OPAL Fuels' proportional share with respect to RNG projects owned with joint venture partners.

The Sapphire RNG project is expected to commence commercial operations in the first half of 2024. This project represents approximately 800,000 MMBtu for OPAL Fuels' 50% ownership share of annual nameplate capacity.³

We have moved our Northeast landfill RNG conversion project back to our Advanced Development Pipeline.⁴ It is being considered as a landfill gas to electric project. This project represents approximately 0.3 million MMBtu of annual nameplate capacity.

OPAL Fuels' updated share of annual nameplate capacity for our six projects in construction is approximately 5.4 million MMBtu.

Development Update

We remain on track to place at least 2.0 million MMBtu of RNG projects (representing OPAL Fuels' proportional ownership) into construction in 2023.

Our Advanced Development Pipeline comprises of 8.1 million MMBtu of feedstock biogas per year, adjusted for Polk moving to our In-Construction portfolio and our Northeast landfill project moving to our Advanced Development Pipeline.

____________________________

⁴The Company's Advanced Development Pipeline ("ADP") comprises projects that have been qualified and are reasonably expected to be in construction within the next twelve to eighteen months. The MMBtu associated with these projects is presented as anticipated nameplate capacity. Anticipated nameplate capacity is the Company's currently anticipated annual design output for each facility and may not reflect actual production from the projects, which depends on many variables including, but not limited to, quantity and quality of the biogas, operational up-time of the facility, and actual productivity of the facility.

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were $55.0 million and $98.0 million, respectively, up 3% compared to the prior year quarter and down 4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenues were impacted by the Company's decision to defer RIN sales at lower market prices prior to the release of EPA's Set Rule and updated RVO.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $114.1 million and $106.7 million compared to net loss of $0.3 million and $4.8 million in the prior-year periods. Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was impacted by the one-time gain of $122.9 million recorded on the deconsolidation of the Emerald and Sapphire RNG projects.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $21.4 million and $30.1 million compared to $11.2 million and $15.3 million in the prior-year periods. The primary driver for the increase in Adjusted EBITDA is the improved performance in RNG Fuels and Fuel Station Services segments, which was offset by lower Renewable Power segment performance and higher general and administrative costs in the Corporate segment.

RNG Pending Certification and Unsold Environmental Credits

At June 30, 2023, the Company had unsold environmental credits and had produced RNG that was pending certification which, together represent approximately 11.0 million RINs and 0.2 million LCFS credits. Using quarter end prices of $2.80/gallon for D3 RINs and $76.00 for LCFS, the combined value of these Environmental Attributes is approximately $34 million.

Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the timing of revenue recognition for stand-alone RIN and LCFS sales contracts is tied to the delivery of the RIN and LCFS credits to our counterparties and not the production of the RIN and LCFS. To better align timing of revenues to when costs are recognized for the production of RNG in a current period, we also illustrate the value of that RNG and environmental credits held in inventory and pending certification as an adjustment to EBITDA in that period. For the second quarter of 2023, based on market prices as of June 30, 2023⁵, Adjusted EBITDA includes an aggregate of $16.4 million that is anticipated to be generated from sales of RNG pending certification and unsold environmental credits.

Segment Revenues

RNG Fuel

Revenue from RNG Fuel was $16.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, flat compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Revenue from RNG Fuel was $28.6 million, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to lower sales volume as the Company elected to defer sales of credits in the period along with lower pricing attained for environmental credits actually sold. Additionally, there was a decrease in brown gas revenues due to lower market pricing.

Fuel Station Services

Revenue from Fuel Station Services was $30.0 million an increase of $3.2 million, or 12%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This is primarily due to an increase in construction revenues, RINs, LCFS and brown gas sales.

Revenue from Fuel Station Services was $50.8 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of work completed on fuel station construction projects and the effect of OPAL Fuels' decision to hold back environmental credit sales. At June 30, 2023, the Company had a backlog of third-party construction contracts with related revenue of $43.1 million, which is anticipated to be recognized over the next 12 months as construction is completed.

Renewable Power

Revenue from Renewable Power was $8.7 million, $1.4 million lower for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the second quarter 2022. This was primarily due to the end of life shutdown of one of our Renewable Power facilities in September 2022.

Revenue from Renewable Power was $18.6 million, $0.6 million lower for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year period. This was primarily due to the end of life shutdown of one of our Renewable Power facilities in September 2022.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, liquidity was $44.1 million, consisting of Cash and cash equivalents of $27.1 million including Restricted cash of $5.5 million and $17.0 million in short-term investments maturing within 90 days. This compares to $181 million at March 31, 2023, consisting of $39.8 million of Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash of $6.6 million, $37 million in short-term investments, and availability of $105 million under a senior secured term loan facility. The primary driver of this reduction is attributed to the assignment of the term loan facility to Paragon as part of the deconsolidation⁶ of the Emerald and Sapphire projects. This also reflects a reduction of $11.9 million of cash that is now excluded from consolidated Cash and cash equivalents as a result of the deconsolidation.

Note, both the cash that was deconsolidated and the available funds under the facility remain available for these projects. Paragon was assigned the existing senior credit facility related to these projects with a two-year delayed term and maximum principal amount of $85.0 million and a debt reserve facility up to $10.0 million. There was no debt outstanding at the date of the assignment.

_________________________

⁶In June, we disclosed the formation of Paragon RNG LLC, a company owned 50/50 between OPAL Fuels and GFL Environmental, which resulted in the deconsolidation of our Emerald and Sapphire RNG projects.

We believe that our liquidity, anticipated cash flows from operations, including the value of our unsold environmental credits, the value of environmental attributes associated with RNG pending certification, and our access to expected sources of capital will be sufficient to meet our existing funding needs. We continue to pursue additional funding for our Advanced Development Pipeline and streamlining our capital structure to include financing higher up in the capital structure and less financing on an individual project basis.

Capital Expenditures

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, OPAL Fuels invested $72.0 million across RNG projects in construction and OPAL Fuels owned fueling stations in construction as compared to $54.5 million as of the comparable period in 2022.

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 net loss and Basic and Diluted adjusted net income (loss) per share

Adjusted net income and Basic and diluted adjusted net loss per share, respectively, represent Net income as adjusted to exclude one-time non-cash gain on deconsolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") and amortization of basis differences in equity method investments. The Company believes that the gain on deconsolidation of VIEs is not representative of our normal business operations and we believe that Adjusted net income and Adjusted net loss per share are more useful to the analysts and investors in comparing the results of operations and operational trends between periods. Our Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share should not be considered alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table presents the reconciliation of our Net income to Adjusted net income:

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, unrealized loss (gain) for derivative instruments, environmental credits associated with renewable biogas that has been produced and is in storage pending completion of certification of the relevant Environmental Attribute pathway(s) and Environmental Credits at quarter end market prices attributable to renewable biogas produced in the period but not yet sold or delivered. 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.

The following tables presents the reconciliation of our Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:
