Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Arq, Inc. ("Arq" or the "Company"), is an environmental technology company that is principally engaged in the sale of consumable air, water, and soil treatment solutions including activated carbon ("AC") and chemical technologies. The Company's proprietary AC products enable customers to reduce air, water, and soil contaminants, including mercury, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and other pollutants, to help our customers meet the challenges of existing and pending air quality and water regulations. The Company manufactures and sells AC and other chemicals used to capture and remove contaminants for coal-fired power generation, industrial, municipal water and air, water, and soil treatment and remediation markets (collectively, the advanced purification technologies or "APT" market).

The Company’s primary products are comprised of AC, which is produced from a variety of carbonaceous raw materials. The Company’s AC products include both powdered activated carbon ("PAC") and granular activated carbon ("GAC"). Additionally, the Company owns the Five Forks Mine, a lignite mine that currently supplies the primary raw material for the manufacturing of the Company’s products.

The Company, formerly known as Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc., is a Delaware corporation with its principal office located in Greenwood Village, Colorado, manufacturing, mining and logistics operations located in Louisiana and coal waste recovery and manufacturing operations located in Kentucky.

In February 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of the subsidiaries of Arq Limited (the "Arq Acquisition," and hereafter the Arq Limited subsidiaries are referred to as "Legacy Arq") to secure access to a feedstock, a manufacturing facility and certain patented processes as a means to manufacture additional GAC products for sale into the APT and other markets. With the Arq Acquisition, the Company now controls bituminous coal waste reserves and owns a manufacturing facility, both located in Corbin, Kentucky (the "Corbin Facility"), and a process to recover and purify the bituminous coal waste for sale or further conversion to GAC products. Using the Corbin Facility's manufacturing process, the Company is converting bituminous coal waste into a purified, microfine carbon powder known as Arq powderTM ("Arq Powder"). See further discussion of the Arq Acquisition in Note 2.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Arq are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Arq in this quarterly report ("Quarterly Report") are presented on a consolidated basis and include Arq and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Also included within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the Company's unconsolidated equity investments, Tinuum Group and Tinuum Services, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and Highview Enterprises Limited (the "Highview Investment"), which is accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to equity investments that do not qualify for the equity method of accounting.

Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report.

In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K"). Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share, while considering other potentially dilutive securities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, potentially dilutive securities consist of unvested restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), stock options and contingent performance stock units ("PSUs").

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income (loss)	$	1,617	$	(2,175)	$	(3,770)	$	(15,539)
Less: Dividends declared on redeemable preferred stock	—		—		—		157
Income (loss) attributable to common stockholders	$	1,617	$	(2,175)	$	(3,770)	$	(15,696)

Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding	36,124		31,807		34,085		27,894
Add: dilutive effect of equity instruments	1,318		—		—		—


Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	37,442		31,807		34,085		27,894
Earnings (loss) per share - basic	$	0.04	$	(0.07)	$	(0.11)	$	(0.56)
Earnings (loss) per share - diluted	$	0.04	$	(0.07)	$	(0.11)	$	(0.56)

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, potentially dilutive securities of 0.3 million and 2.3 million and 2.5 million and 1.4 million shares of common stock, respectively, are outstanding but are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. There have been no changes in the Company's critical accounting estimates from those that were disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair value measurements

The carrying amounts of our cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value as recorded due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Seasonality

The timing of the sale of consumable products is dependent upon several factors. Power generation is weather dependent, with electricity and steam production varying in response to heating and cooling demands. As a result, the Company's revenue is generally higher in our first and third fiscal quarters during the warmer and colder months of the year, respectively. Abnormally high and low temperatures during the summer and winter months, respectively, may significantly increase coal consumption for electricity generation and cause increased impurities within various municipalities' water sources, and thus increase the demand for the Company's products. Additionally, power generating units routinely schedule maintenance outages in the spring and/or fall depending on the operation of their boilers. During the period in which an outage may occur, which may range from one week to over a month, the Company's product sales may decrease.

Also, the Company's revenue and sales volumes are highly dependent upon the level of coal consumption at coal-fired power plants, which in turn is significantly affected by the prices of competing power generation sources, such as natural gas and renewables. During periods of low natural gas prices, natural gas provides a competitive alternative to coal-fired power generation and therefore, coal consumption for power generation may be reduced, which in turn reduces the demand for the Company's products. In contrast, during periods of higher prices for competing power generation sources, coal consumption generally increases, which generally increases demand for the Company's products.

In the sale of water purification products, demand is driven largely from municipal water treatment facilities. Depending on weather conditions and other environmental factors, the summer months historically have the highest demand for the Company's products used in water treatment. One of the major uses for PAC is for the treatment of taste and odor episodes caused by increased degradation of organic contaminants and natural materials in water that occurs during the summer months. Additionally, the rainy season generally results in more demand from water municipalities due to rain run-offs and contaminant dilution.

Reclassifications

Certain balances have been reclassified from the prior year to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position in any of the periods presented.

New Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures and to enhance disclosures of reportable segment expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Because the amendments do not change the methodology for the identification of operating segments, the aggregation of those operating segments or the application of the quantitative thresholds to determine reportable segments, we do not expect the guidance to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose: (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This update also makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements.

Note 2 - Arq Acquisition

On February 1, 2023 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Arq Limited ("Arq Ltd.") to acquire 100% of the equity of Legacy Arq in exchange for consideration (the "Purchase Consideration") totaling $31.2 million, and consisting of (i) 3,814,864 shares of the Company's common stock and (ii) 5,294,462 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock" or the "Preferred Shares").

The Company accounted for the Arq Acquisition as an acquisition of a business, and the total Purchase Consideration of $31.2 million was allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Legacy Arq based on their estimated fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The Purchase Consideration was comprised of the fair values as of the Acquisition Date of 3,814,864 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $12.4 million, and 5,294,462 Preferred Shares, valued at $18.8 million. The Company also incurred $8.7 million in acquisition-related costs, which were expensed as incurred during fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and included in the "Selling, general and administrative" line item in the Statements of Operations for those years.

Legacy Arq's principal location is in Corbin, Kentucky where it operates the Corbin Facility, which processes bituminous coal waste into Arq Powder. Arq Powder can be used in high value applications, such as for a raw material to produce GAC products or as an additive in other applications. With the completion of the Arq Acquisition, the Company intends to use Arq Powder as a feedstock to produce high-quality AC for use in water and air purification markets. The Company expects to begin using Arq Powder to produce GAC products during the first quarter of 2025.

Series A Preferred Stock

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations of Preferred Stock for the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Under the Certificate of Designations, 8.9 million preferred shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock.

Of the total Preferred Shares issued in the Arq Acquisition, 833,914 were held in escrow (the "Escrow Shares") based on a contingent redemption feature. The fair value of the Preferred Shares issued was determined to be $3.46 per Preferred Share on the Acquisition Date plus the value of the contingent redemption feature related to the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares were converted into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Escrow Common Shares") on the Conversion Date, as defined below.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, on March 31, 2023, the Company declared a dividend of 68,464 Series A paid-in kind shares (the "PIK Dividend") with respect to the accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares for the first quarter of 2023. The PIK Dividend was recorded at the estimated fair value of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and was paid on April 21, 2023.

On June 13, 2023 (the "Conversion Date"), the Company's stockholders approved the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including the Escrow Shares, and the corresponding issuance of shares of the Company's common stock. Upon such approval, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock was automatically converted into the number of shares of the Company's common stock described below. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was deemed to have an original issue price of $4.00 per share (the "Original Issue Amount"). The number of shares of the Company's common stock issued upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock was equal to the product of (i) the sum of (A) the Original Issue Amount plus (B) an amount equal to the cumulative amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on such share at such time divided by (ii) the Original Issue Amount, subject to adjustment.

The Escrow Common Shares were withheld pending a determination by the United States Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") that no tax withholding was required by Arq Ltd. on the Purchase Consideration issued to Arq Ltd. (the "Arq Ltd. Tax Liability"). The Company estimated the fair value of the potential Arq Ltd. Tax Liability at $3.3 million. In the event that the IRS determined that no withholding was required by Arq Ltd., all of the Escrow Common Shares would be released and delivered to Arq Ltd. In the event that the IRS determined that any amount of withholding was required by Arq Ltd., the Company agreed to redeem a sufficient number of Escrow Common Shares to fund the required payment to the IRS, and that number of Escrow Common Shares would be returned to the Company. In April 2024, the Company received notice from Arq Ltd. that the IRS had approved its filing for no tax withholding on the Purchase Consideration. Accordingly, in April 2024, the Company instructed its stock transfer agent to release the Escrow Common Shares to the Arq Ltd. stockholders.

Equity Financing

On February 1, 2023, and pursuant to the Arq Acquisition, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with certain persons (the "Subscribers"), which included existing shareholders of Arq Ltd., three of which were appointed to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), pursuant to which the Subscribers subscribed for and purchased shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15.4 million and at a price per share of $4.00 (such transaction, the "PIPE Investment").

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following represents the pro forma effects for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of the Arq Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023. The pro forma net loss for the period presented has been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies in effect for that period. In addition, pro forma net loss includes: (1) a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million resulting from fair value adjustments to Property, plant, equipment; (2) an increase in amortization of $0.1 million resulting from fair value adjustments to intangible assets; and (3) increases to interest expense of $0.2 million for: (a) the issuance of the CFG Loan (as defined below) including stated interest and the amortization of the CFG Loan's discount and issuance costs and (b) amortization of debt discount related to a fair value adjustment to the CTB Loan (as defined below), which was assumed by the Company on the Acquisition Date; together with the income tax effects on (1) through (3). Since Legacy Arq had no revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, pro forma revenues are the same as the Company's reported revenues for that period.

CFG Loan

As required under the Purchase Agreement, and on February 1, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company, as borrower, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, and CF Global ("CFG"), a related party, as administrative agent and lender, entered into a term loan (the "CFG Loan") in the amount of $10.0 million, less original issue discount ("OID") of $0.2 million, upon execution of a Term Loan and Security Agreement (the "CFG Loan Agreement"). The Company received net cash proceeds of $8.5 million after deducting the OID and debt issuance costs of $1.3 million. One of the Company's directors is a principal with CFG.

The CFG Loan Agreement also required the issuance of a warrant (the "Warrant") to CFG to purchase 325,457 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Warrant had a term of 7 years and contained a cashless exercise provision. On March 29, 2024, CFG exercised the warrant in full and the Company issued CFG 324,955 shares of its common stock, net of shares representing the exercise price of the warrant.

The CFG Loan matures on February 1, 2027 and bears interest at a rate equal to either (a) Adjusted Term SOFR (subject to a 1.00% floor and a cap of 2.00%) plus a margin of 9.00% paid in cash and 5.00% paid in kind or (b) Base Rate (as defined in the CFG Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 8.00% paid in cash and 5.00% paid in kind, which interest on the CFG Loan in each case shall be payable (or capitalized, in the case of in kind interest) quarterly in arrears.

Arq, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Company may prepay the CFG Loan at any time subject to the following prepayment premium: (i) prior to the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), (ii) thereafter but prior to the thirty-six month anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the CFG Loan being repaid or prepaid or (iii) thereafter until the maturity date, 1.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the CFG Loan being repaid or prepaid. The "Make-Whole Amount," with respect to any repayment or prepayment, is (i) an amount equal to all required interest payable (except for currently accrued and unpaid interest) on the aggregate principal amount of the CFG Loan subject to such prepayment or repayment from the date of such prepayment or repayment through but excluding the date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date calculated using an interest rate equal to (x) Adjusted Term SOFR for an interest period of one month in effect on the third U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to such prepayment or repayment plus (y) 14.00% per annum and assuming all interest was paid in cash, plus (ii) a prepayment premium of 2.00% on the aggregate principal amount of the CFG Loan subject to such prepayment or repayment.

The CFG Loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (including those acquired in the Acquisition, but excluding those pledged as collateral (the "CTB Loan Assets") under the CTB Loan, as defined and described below), subject to customary exceptions. The CFG Loan Agreement includes, among others, the following covenants: (1) a minimum unrestricted balance of $5.0 million as of the end of each fiscal quarter; (2) (x) as of December 31, 2024, for the fiscal year then ended, the Company must have a minimum annual revenue, on a consolidated basis, of $85.0 million and (y) for any fiscal year thereafter, the Company must have a minimum annual revenue, on a consolidated basis, of $100.0 million; (3) (x) as of December 31, 2024, for the fiscal year then ended, the Company must have a minimum Consolidated EBITDA of $3.0 million and (y) for any fiscal year thereafter, the Company must have a minimum Consolidated EBITDA of $16.0 million; and (4) during a period including a LTV Trigger Event (as defined in the CFG Loan Agreement), the Company must not exceed a loan to value ratio of 0.40:1.00 (based on the consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, but excluding the CTB Loan Assets).

The Company allocated the cash proceeds of the CFG Loan to both the CFG Loan and the Warrant based on their relative fair values. The amount allocated to the Warrant was recorded as a debt discount and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the CFG Loan. The standalone fair value of the CFG Loan was based on a comparison of borrowings and associated credit ratings consistent with those of the Company. As the Warrant was exercisable for $0.01 per share, the fair value was deemed to be equal to the fair value of the underlying shares, and accordingly, the fair value of the Warrant was determined as the number of shares issuable from the exercise of the Warrant (based on 1.0% of post-transaction fully diluted share capital, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) multiplied by the closing share price of the Company's common stock on the Acquisition Date.

CTB Loan

Upon completion of the Arq Acquisition, the Company assumed a term loan (the "CTB Loan") held by certain Arq subsidiaries as set out in the CTB Loan (the "Arq Subsidiaries") with a financial institution ("CTB") in the principal amount of $10.0 million. The Company recorded the CTB Loan on the Acquisition Date at its estimated fair value of $9.7 million, with the difference of $0.3 million between the estimated fair value and the principal amount recorded as a debt discount and recognized as interest expense over the term of the CTB Loan.

The CTB Loan was originally entered into on January 27, 2021 and is comprised of two promissory notes (the "Notes"): (1) "Note A" in the principal amount of $8.0 million, which is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture; and (2) "Note B" in the principal amount of $2.0 million. The Notes mature on January 27, 2036 and bear interest at 6.0% per annum through January 2026 and at the prime rate plus 2.75% thereafter. The Company is required to make combined interest and principal payments monthly in the fixed amount of $0.1 million. Interest is computed and payable on the outstanding principal as of the end of the prior month and the balance of the fixed monthly payment amount is applied to the outstanding principal. The Notes carry a prepayment penalty of 3.0% of the outstanding principal if paid prior to January 27, 2024, 2.0% of the outstanding principal if paid prior to January 27, 2025 and 1.0% of the outstanding principal if paid prior to January 27, 2026. Thereafter, the Notes may be prepaid without penalty.

On June 2, 2023 (the "Amendment Date"), certain of the Arq Subsidiaries, which included Corbin Project LLC, Arq Projects Holding Company LLC, Arq St. Rose LLC, Arq Corbin LLC and Arq Corbin Land LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers") and CTB entered into a loan modification agreement (the "CTB Loan Modification Agreement") to the CTB Loan, as amended by that certain letter agreement by and among CTB and Borrowers dated January 21, 2022, and as otherwise amended, modified and/or extended by the parties from time to time (collectively, the "CTB Loan Agreement"). As consideration for CTB entering into the CTB Loan Modification Agreement, the Borrowers agreed to pay a fee of $50,000 plus additional fees incurred by CTB and were required to deposit an additional $0.7 million into a deposit account (the "Interest Reserve Account" as defined in the CTB Loan Agreement), where the Interest Reserve Account is held as collateral by CTB. The Borrowers may withdraw funds from the Interest Reserve Account beginning one year from the Amendment Date, subject to restrictions as stated in the CTB Loan Modification Agreement.

Arq, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The CTB Loan Modification Agreement clarified and modified certain terms under the CTB Loan Agreement. The principal clarifications and modifications in effect are as follows:

•The Borrowers are not entitled to any further disbursements of proceeds under those promissory notes described in the CTB Loan Modification Agreement;

•CTB agreed to waive certain required financial covenants required as of December 31, 2023; and

•CTB is authorized to amend and/or amend and restate its then-current security instruments to include additional collateral represented by the Borrowers' acquisition of any equipment or other fixed and/or operating assets in which CTB does not then hold a lien or security interest.

The CTB Loan is secured by substantially all assets of the Borrowers and includes among others, the following covenants with respect to the Borrowers, which are tested annually (Capitalized terms are defined in the CTB Loan Agreement): (a) Total Indebtedness to Net Worth greater than 4 to 1; (b) Balance Sheet Equity greater than or equal to 20% of the book value of all assets of the Borrowers; (c) (i) net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization divided by (ii) interest expense plus current maturities on long-term debt greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.

The carrying values of both the CFG Loan and the CTB Loan approximate their fair values as both instruments bear interest at rates indexed to market rates for similar instruments.

Note 9 - Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock Transactions

In April 2024, the Company received $0.8 million in cash and issued 422,221 shares of its common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement between the Company and its CEO executed in July 2023.

In May 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "SPA") with certain accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate of 2,142,858 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a selling price of $7.00 per share (the "Private Placement"). After deducting offering costs, the Company raised net cash proceeds of $15.0 million from the Private Placement.

In September 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with certain underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale of 4,770,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price to the public of $5.25 per share, as well as an overallotment option to purchase an additional 715,500 shares within 30 days following the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the "Public Offering"). The Company issued a total of 5,485,500 shares, inclusive of 715,500 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters' fully exercised overallotment option, and received net proceeds, after deducting offering costs, of approximately $26.7 million from the Public Offering.

Stock Repurchase Program

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $7.0 million remaining under a stock repurchase program, which will remain in effect until all amounts are utilized or is otherwise modified by the Board. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

Tax Asset Protection Plan

U.S. federal income tax rules, and Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code in particular, could substantially limit the use of net operating losses and tax credits if the Company experiences an "ownership change" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code). In general, an ownership change occurs if there is a cumulative change in the ownership of the Company by "5 percent stockholders" that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period.

An entity that experiences an ownership change generally will be subject to an annual limitation on its pre-ownership change tax loss and credit carryforwards equal to the equity value of the entity immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term, tax-exempt rate posted monthly by the Internal Revenue Service (subject to certain adjustments). The annual limitation would be increased each year to the extent that there is an unused limitation in a prior year.

On May 5, 2017, the Board approved the declaration of a dividend of rights to purchase Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock for each outstanding share of common stock as part of a tax asset protection plan (the "TAPP"), which is designed to protect the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses and tax credits. The TAPP is intended to act as a deterrent to any person acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

On April 12, 2024, the Board approved the Seventh Amendment to the TAPP (the "Seventh Amendment"), which amends the TAPP, as previously amended by the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments that were approved by the Board on April 6, 2018, April 5, 2019, April 9, 2020, April 9, 2021, March 15, 2022, and April 13, 2023, respectively. The Seventh Amendment amends the definition of "Final Expiration Date" under the TAPP to extend the duration of the TAPP and makes associated changes in connection therewith. Pursuant to the Seventh Amendment, the Final Expiration Date shall be the close of business on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2025 or (ii) December 31, 2024 if stockholder approval of the Seventh Amendment has not been obtained prior to such date. At the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 10, 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the Seventh Amendment, thus the final expiration date will be the close of business on December 31, 2025.

PSU expense	1,400		1.09
Stock option expense	435		1.79
Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense	$	5,249	1.62

Restricted Stock Awards

RSAs are typically granted with vesting terms of three years. The fair value of RSAs is determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the authorization date of the grant multiplied by the number of shares subject to the stock award. Compensation expense for RSAs is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period.

A summary of RSA activity under the Company's various stock compensation plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:


	Restricted Stock	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

Non-vested at January 1, 2024	790,005	$	3.10
Granted	577,159	$	5.79
Vested	(541,166)	$	3.34
Forfeited	(55,197)	$	2.82
Non-vested at September 30, 2024	770,801	$	4.99

Performance Share Units

Compensation expense for PSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period, which is generally three years, based on the estimated fair value at the date of grant. The estimated fair value at the date of grant is

determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model for those PSUs with market-based performance conditions. A summary of PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:


	Units	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)
PSUs outstanding, January 1, 2024	968,918	$	2.06
Granted	115,877	$	10.94
Vested / Settled(1)	(150,000)	$	2.28
Forfeited / Canceled	(57,750)	$	5.90
PSUs outstanding, September 30, 2024	877,045	$	2.94	$	5,148	1.09

(1) The number of units shown in the table above are based on target performance. The final number of shares of common stock issued may vary depending on the achievement of market or performance conditions established within the awards, which could result in the actual number of shares issued ranging from zero to a maximum of two times the number of units shown in the above table. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 150,000 shares of common stock were issued upon vesting of PSUs.

Stock Options

Stock options vest over three years and have a contractual limit of ten years from the date of grant to exercise. The fair value of stock options granted is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the related expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period. The determination of the grant date fair value of stock options issued is affected by a number of variables, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected common stock price volatility over the expected term of the stock option, the expected term of the stock option, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of the Company’s common stock.

Risk-free interest rate - The risk-free interest rate for stock options granted was determined by using a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rate for the periods that coincided with the expected term of the options.

Dividend yield - An expected dividend yield of zero was included in the calculations, as the Company does not currently pay nor does it anticipate paying dividends on its common stock as of the grant date of the stock options.

Expected volatility - To calculate expected volatility, the historical volatility of the Company's common stock was used.

Expected term - The Company’s expected term of stock options was calculated using a simplified method whereby the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term is utilized to compute the expected term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical data for options with similar vesting and contractual terms.

The Company did not grant any stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company granted 1,000,000 stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. A summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:


	Number of Options Outstanding and Exercisable	Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)

Note 11 - Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's income tax (expense) benefit and effective tax rates are presented below:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except for rate)	2024			2023			2024			2023
Income tax (expense) benefit	$	—		$	—		$	(30)		$	33
Effective tax rate	—		%	—		%	1		%	—		%

The Company incurred pretax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and expects to incur pretax loss for the year ending December 31, 2024. As a result, the effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 would be zero as the resultant tax benefit was offset by a valuation allowance recorded as of September 30, 2024, However, the Company recorded out of period state income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulting in the effective tax rate of 1% for this period.

The Company assesses a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets at each reporting date. The determination of whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is appropriate requires the evaluation of positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Consideration must be given to all sources of taxable income available to realize deferred tax assets, including, as applicable, the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income forecasts exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in carryback years and tax planning strategies. In estimating income taxes, the Company assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate income tax treatment of transactions taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance.

Note 12 - Marshall Mine

On March 27, 2023, (the "MM Closing Date"), the Company completed the sale of all of its membership interests in Marshall Mine, LLC to a third party (the "Buyer") in exchange for a cash payment of $2.2 million (the "MM Purchase Price") made by the Company to the Buyer and the assumption by the Buyer of certain liabilities of Marshall Mine, LLC. As of the MM Closing Date, Marshall Mine, LLC had outstanding liabilities of approximately $4.9 million that were discharged upon payment of the MM Purchase Price by the Company, and the Company recognized a gain of approximately $2.7 million in the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events

Unless disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no significant matters that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations should be read together with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes of Arq, Inc. ("Arq" or the "Company") included elsewhere in Item 1 of Part I ("Item 1") of this Quarterly Report and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Arq included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K").

The results of operations discussed in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are those of Arq, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, the "Company," "we," "our" or "us."

Overview

We are an environmental technology company that is principally engaged in the sale of consumable air and water treatment solutions primarily based on Activated Carbon ("AC"). Our proprietary AC products enable customers to reduce air, water, and soil contaminants, including mercury, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and other pollutants, to help our customers maximize effectiveness and to improve operating efficiencies to meet the challenges of existing and pending air quality, soil, and water regulations. We manufacture and sell AC and other chemicals used to capture and remove contaminants for coal-fired power generation, industrial and water treatment markets, which we collectively refer to as the advanced purification technologies ("APT") market.

Our primary products are comprised of AC, which is produced from a variety of carbonaceous raw materials. Our AC products include both powdered activated carbon ("PAC") and granular activated carbon ("GAC"). Additionally, we own the Five Forks Mine, a lignite mine that currently supplies the primary raw material for the manufacturing of our products.

In February 2023, we acquired 100% of the equity of the subsidiaries of Arq Limited (the "Arq Acquisition," and hereafter the Arq Limited subsidiaries are referred to as "Legacy Arq") to secure access to a feedstock, a manufacturing facility and certain patented processes as a means to manufacture additional GAC products for sale into the APT market and other markets. With the Arq Acquisition, we now control bituminous coal waste reserves and own a manufacturing facility, both located in Corbin, Kentucky (the "Corbin Facility"), and a process to recover and purify the bituminous coal fines for sale or further conversion to GAC products. Using the Corbin Facility's manufacturing process, we convert coal waste into a purified, microfine carbon powder known as Arq powderTM ("Arq Powder"). We expect to begin using Arq Powder as a feedstock to manufacture high-quality GAC products for sale in the APT and other markets during the first quarter of 2025.

We believe Arq Powder has additional potential for us to access new markets and applications. We expect to secure customer interest in Arq Powder as an additive into other markets, such as components for asphalt. These products utilizing Arq Powder are expected to have a lower carbon footprint compared to similar products utilizing conventional materials. These applications are currently in various stages of proof of concept testing or preliminary customer testing.

In February 2024, as part of a larger rebranding, we changed our name to Arq, Inc., and on February 1, 2024, our common stock commenced trading under the ticker symbol, "ARQ".

Drivers of Demand and Key Factors Affecting Profitability

Drivers of demand and current key factors affecting our profitability are sales of our AC products to the APT market. Our operating results are influenced by: (1) changes in our manufacturing production and sales volumes; (2) changes in price and product mix; (3) changes in coal-fired dispatch and electricity power generation sources and (4) changes in demand for contaminant removal within water treatment facilities.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we experienced a decrease in demand for our products from certain coal-fired dispatch and electricity power generation customers compared to the same periods in 2023. This was primarily due to lower natural gas prices, resulting in several large utility customers opting to use natural gas versus coal as a primary source for power generation, and the year to date impact of mild temperatures during the winter and spring seasons, resulting in lower demand for power generation compared to 2023. We expect that natural gas prices will remain relatively consistent through 2024 due to surplus natural gas reserves in storage, which, we expect, will negatively impact sales of our products even with higher than average summer temperatures.

On April 10, 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued its first nationally enforceable PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation, confirming a material tightening to an existing framework of guidance and regulations relating to the control and limitation of PFAS in municipal water. The regulatory changes are anticipated to phase in over an approximate five-year period. We expect the implementation of the announced regulations will drive a material increase in GAC demand in the water purification market.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized net income of $1.6 million and net loss of $3.8 million, respectively, compared to net loss of $2.2 million and $15.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The most significant factor impacting results for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was higher revenue as a result of increased average selling price, which was partially offset by a decrease in demand for our AC and chemical products with power generation customers, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in demand from our power generation customers was primarily driven by continued low prices of alternative energy sources for power generation. These factors also impacted our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded expenses related to the Arq Acquisition that did not occur in 2024.

The following sections provide additional information regarding these comparable periods. For comparability purposes, the following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. The current year period to prior year period comparisons of financial results may not be indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Revenue and Cost of revenue

A summary of the components of our Revenue and Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024		2023		($)		(%)






Revenue	$	34,774	$	29,829	$	4,945	17	%

Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization	$	21,339	$	20,707	$	632	3	%

Revenue and Cost of revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased from the comparable quarter in 2023 primarily driven by overall favorable product mix and higher pricing of approximately $2.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increase from favorable product mix was primarily driven by sales to municipal water customers and a large non-power generation customer. Also contributing to an increase in revenue between periods was $0.2 million attributable to volumes sold, despite lower natural gas prices compared to the same quarter in 2023, which contributed to decreased utilization of coal-fired generation and decreased demand for our products by customers in the power generation market. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot prices ($/MMBtu) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2.11 and $2.59, respectively.

Gross margin, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to favorable product mix as described above, as well as lower fixed costs as a percentage of total cost of revenue due to higher production volumes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023.

We expect that revenue and gross margin will continue to be positively impacted by our product price increases and our efforts to move our product mix to higher margin products. We anticipate that the product price increases will help offset decreases in volumes due to prices of alternative energy sources impacting the demand for our AC and chemical products related to power generation.

Revenue continues to be affected by electricity demand driven by seasonal weather and related power generation needs, as well as competitor prices related to alternative power generation sources such as natural gas and renewables.

Operating Expenses

A summary of the components of our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Selling, General and Administrative

A summary of the components of selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, exclusive of cost of revenue items (presented above), is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024		2023		($)		(%)
Payroll and benefits	$	2,843	$	3,875	$	(1,032)	(27)	%
Legal and professional fees	1,430		1,631		(201)		(12)	%

Total Selling, general and administrative	$	8,058	$	8,297	$	(239)	(3)	%

Payroll and benefits

Payroll and benefits, which represent costs related to selling, general and administrative personnel, decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023 primarily due to severance related costs of $1.0 million associated with the termination of an executive officer during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and decreased salaries and wages in the current quarter primarily from lower executive compensation, which was a result of personnel changes implemented in 2023.

Legal and professional fees

Legal and professional fees decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023 primarily from legal and accounting costs incurred related to the Arq Acquisition during the period ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by increased consulting fees.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023 by approximately $1.0 million, primarily due to an increase in rent and occupancy expenses, third-party services at the Corbin Facility, and franchise taxes.

Research and development

Research and development expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023, primarily due to conducting product qualification testing with potential lead-adopters as part of our ongoing GAC contracting process, and increased research and development payroll costs.

Depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion

Depreciation, amortization depletion and accretion expense remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023.

Gain on sale of assets

Gain on sale of assets for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily relates to a gain on the sale of equipment.

Other (Expense) Income, net

A summary of the components of other (expense) income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024		2023		($)		(%)
Other (expense) income:
Earnings from equity method investments	$	127	$	412	$	(285)	(69)	%

Interest expense	(806)		(787)		(19)		2	%




Other	268		725		(457)		(63)	%
Total other (expense) income	$	(411)	$	350	$	(761)	*

* Percent change in excess of 100% not considered meaningful.

Earnings from equity method investments

Earnings from equity method investments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 represented cash distributions from Tinuum Group. Earnings from equity method investments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 represented cash distributions from both Tinuum Group and Tinuum Services. Tinuum Group continues to wind down their services into 2024. We do not expect further distributions from Tinuum Services as Tinuum Services has completed its wind-down.

Interest expense

Interest expense remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023.

Other

The decrease in Other for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023 was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income of $0.4 million due to lower average balances in the Company's cash sweep accounts during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Income tax expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had pretax income of $1.6 million and pretax loss of $2.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded no income tax expense as we expect to incur pretax loss for the year ending December 31, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded no income tax benefit for the pretax loss due to the recording of a full valuation allowance based on our forecast of pretax loss for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Total Revenue and Cost of Revenue

A summary of the components of our revenues and cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024		2023		($)		(%)






Revenue	$	81,919	$	71,079	$	10,840	15	%

Cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization	$	52,279	$	53,218	$	(939)	(2)	%

Revenue and Cost of revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased from the comparable period in 2023 primarily driven by overall favorable product mix and higher pricing of approximately $5.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The increase from favorable product mix was primarily driven by sales to municipal water customers and a large non-power generation customer. These increases to revenue were partially offset by approximately $0.4 million attributable to lower volumes sold. Product sale volumes were lower among power generation customers primarily due to lower natural gas prices compared to the same period in 2023, which contributed to decreased utilization of coal-fired generation and decreased demand for our products. The average Henry Hub natural gas spot prices ($/MMBtu) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2.11 and $2.47, respectively.

Gross margin, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to favorable product mix and pricing as described above.

Operating Expenses

A summary of the components of our operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

A summary of the components of selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, exclusive of cost of revenue items (presented above), is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024		2023		($)		(%)
Payroll and benefits	$	8,171	$	11,277	$	(3,106)	(28)	%

Total Selling, general and administrative	$	22,735	$	27,574	$	(4,839)	(18)	%

Payroll and benefits

Payroll and benefits decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 primarily due to $1.1 million related to severance expense of former executives of Arq Limited and $1.0 million of severance related costs associated with the termination of an executive officer incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as well as decreased salaries and wages in the current year primarily from lower executive compensation, which was a result of personnel changes implemented in 2023.

Legal and professional fees

Legal and professional fees decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 primarily from decreased consulting, legal, and accounting costs incurred related to the Arq Acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 by approximately $1.8 million, primarily due to increases in rent and occupancy expenses, franchise tax expenses, outside construction-related labor and license and fee expenses.

Research and development

Research and development expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily due to conducting product qualification testing with potential lead-adopters as part of our ongoing GAC contracting process, and increased research and development payroll costs.

Depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion

Depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion expense decreased by approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily due to increased absorption in inventory of $1.4 million, decreased amortization of leasehold improvements, customer relationships and developed technology of $0.5 million, and decreased depletion of $0.2 million, partially offset by increased depreciation expense, primarily related to Legacy Arq assets purchased in February 2023.

Gain on sale of assets

On March 27, 2023, we completed the sale of all of our membership interests in Marshall Mine, LLC to a third party. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a gain of $2.7 million on the sale of Marshall Mine, LLC. Gain on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a gain on the sale of equipment.

Other Income (Expense), net

A summary of the components of other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
(in thousands, except percentages)	2024		2023		($)		(%)
Other (expense) income:
Earnings from equity method investments	$	127	$	1,512	$	(1,385)	(92)	%

Interest expense	(2,426)		(2,155)		(271)		13	%




Other	931		1,510		(579)		(38)	%
Total other (expense) income	$	(1,368)	$	867	$	(2,235)	*

* Percent change in excess of 100% not considered meaningful.

Earnings from equity method investments

Earnings from equity method investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 represented cash distributions from Tinuum Group. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the amount represented cash distributions from both Tinuum Group and Tinuum Services. Tinuum Group continues to wind down their services into 2024. We do not expect further distributions from Tinuum Services as Tinuum Services has completed its wind-down.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 primarily due to higher interest expense of $0.3 million related to the CFG Loan incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was due to a higher principal balance from the accrual of interest payable upon the termination date of the CFG Loan.

Other

The decrease in Other for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in interest income of $0.5 million due to lower balances in the Company's cash sweep accounts during the current period compared to the prior year period.

Income tax expense

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had pretax losses of $3.7 million and $15.6 million, respectively, and recorded no income tax benefit for the pretax losses due to the recording of a full valuation allowance based on our forecast of pretax losses for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded out of period state income tax expense related to a state assessment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we provide certain supplemental financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are measurements that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA reduced by the non-cash impact of equity earnings from equity method investments and other non-cash gains, increased by cash distributions from equity method investments, other non-cash losses and non-recurring costs and fees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income (loss) in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of performance. See below for a reconciliation from net income (loss), the nearest U.S. GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We believe that the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures are less susceptible to variances that affect the Company's operating performance. We include these non-GAAP measures because management uses them in the evaluation of our operating performance, and believe they help to facilitate comparison of operating results between periods. We believe the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and users of the financial statements by excluding certain expenses, gains, and losses which can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry and may not be indicative of core operating results and business outlook.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

The following table reconciles net income (loss), our most directly comparable as-reported financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to EBITDA (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA (loss).

(1) Included in Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are zero and $4.9 million, respectively of transaction and integration costs incurred related to the Arq Acquisition. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, Net loss included $2.5 million and $4.2 million of Legacy Arq payroll and benefit costs. Further included in Net Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is $1.3 million of severance expense related to two executive employees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Resources and Factors Affecting Our Liquidity

As of September 30, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity included:

•cash on hand of $48.7 million, excluding $8.7 million of restricted cash, including net proceeds received from issuance and sale of our common stock of $42.4 million in the current year; and

•cash from operations.

As of September 30, 2024, our principal uses of liquidity included:

•capital expenditures, including those related to the Red River Plant expansion and commissioning of the Corbin Facility;

•our business operating expenses;

•payments on our lease obligations; and

•payments on our debt obligations.

Cash Flows

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Cash and restricted cash increased from $54.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to $57.4 million as of September 30, 2024. The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		Change
Cash and restricted cash provided by (used in):


































Operating activities	$	5,268	$	(21,145)	$	26,413











Investing activities	(42,100)		(17,304)		(24,796)













Financing activities	40,059		23,338		16,721
Net change in cash and restricted cash	$	3,227	$	(15,111)	$	18,338

Cash flow from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $5.3 million and represented a net increase of $26.4 million from cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $21.1 million. The net increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash payments on accounts payable and accrued expenses of $9.4 million, primarily due to payments made in 2023 of Legacy Arq assumed liabilities, comprised of accrued employee-related compensation and accrued transaction costs related to the Arq Acquisition in 2023; a decrease in net loss of $11.8 million; and a decrease in non-cash items primarily from a gain of $2.7 million recognized from the sale of Marshall Mine, LLC for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash flow from investing activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $24.8 million primarily as a result of an increase in property, plant and equipment additions of $25.2 million from construction activities related to the expansion of our Red River Plant; $2.2 million of cash acquired in the Arq Acquisition during the prior year; and a decrease in distributions from equity earnings in excess of cumulative earnings of $1.4 million. Partially offsetting the net increase in cash flows used in investing activities were a cash payment of $2.2 million made in the prior year required in the sale of Marshall Mine, LLC, a decrease in expenditures on mine development costs of $1.7 million, and cash received in 2024 of $0.2 million from the sale of equipment.

Cash flow from financing activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $16.7 million primarily due to proceeds of $42.4 million, net of offering costs, we received related to issuance and sale of our common stock in both the Public Offering and the Private Placement, including $0.8 million received in April 2024 pursuant to a subscription agreement between the Company and its CEO executed in July 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash flows from financing activities included the receipt of proceeds of $15.2 million, net, from the PIPE Investment and proceeds from the CFG Loan of $8.5 million, net of debt issuance costs paid.

Material Cash Requirements

Our ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flow required to meet ongoing operational needs and obligations depends upon several factors. These include executing on our contracts and initiatives and increasing our share of the market for APT consumables, including expanding our overall AC business into additional adjacent markets and increasing our gross margin by improving our customer and product mix.

We expect that our cash on hand as of September 30, 2024 and proceeds from additional debt financing, if needed, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the next 12 months while maintaining the cadence of our capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures

We have targeted the first quarter of 2025 for our first GAC deliveries. To meet this target, we need to incur substantial capital spend for additional equipment, labor, and project costs. We expect to finance the timely completion of the project with cash on hand, cash generation from operations, ongoing cost reduction initiatives, potential customer prepayments for GAC contracts, and an anticipated refinancing and expansion of the CFG Loan.

During 2024, we expect to spend between $60 and $70 million on construction and commissioning of our plants, depending on the pace of the project. Capital expenditures planned for 2024 are dependent on many factors, which may impact the timing and amount of capital expenditures, with $20 to $25 million expected to be spent in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Surety Bonds

As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding surety bonds with regulatory commissions totaling $11.2 million primarily related to the Five Forks Mine and the Corbin Facility. As of September 30, 2024, and as required by our surety bond provider, we held restricted cash of $8.5 million pledged as collateral related to performance requirements required under a reclamation contract for the Five Forks Mine and the Corbin Facility. We expect that the obligations secured by these surety bonds will be performed in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the applicable contractual terms. To the extent that the obligations are performed, the related surety bonds may be released and collateral requirements may be reduced. However, in the event any surety bond is called, our indemnity obligations could require us to reimburse the surety bond provider.

Long Term Requirements
