Power Generation and Industrials ("PGI") Highlights

• Recognized second quarter segment revenue of $7.1 million, compared to $11.0 million in the prior year
• During the quarter, the Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of which approximately $23.2 million are related to long-lived assets in the PGI segment
• Segment operating loss in the second quarter was $25.7 million most significantly due to the impairment charge, compared to an operating loss of $3.9 million in the prior year
• Segment Adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter was $1.0 million, compared to a segment Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.1 million in the prior year

ADES Consolidated Highlights

• Consolidated revenue was $11.5 million during the second quarter compared to $15.6 million in the prior year
• During the quarter, the Company recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of approximately $26.1 million related to long-lived assets
• Consolidated net loss was $23.8 million for the second quarter, most significantly driven by the aforementioned impairment charge compared to a net profit of $8.1 million in 2019; pretax loss was $23.7 million in the second quarter compared to a pretax profit of $14.7 million in 2019
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million, compared to $15.1 million in the prior year
• Made quarterly principal payment of $6.0 million on the Company's term loan, and reduced the principal balance to $28.0 million
• Ended the second quarter 2020 with a cash balance, inclusive of restricted cash, of $21.7 million, an increase of $4.7 million since December 31, 2019

“Our second quarter results were expectedly challenged by the continued pressure in coal-fired power generation which was intensified by the economic disruption resulting from the ongoing pandemic, which were significant factors in the impairment charge recorded in the second quarter," said Greg Marken, Interim CEO of ADES. “We continue to prioritize the health and safety of our work teams, customers and communities. We remain focused on cash conservation, which helped us increase our liquidity position during the quarter."

Marken continued, “Looking to the back half of 2020, we expect to maintain high renewal rates with our current activated carbon customers and expect improved performance from our PGI segment. We have witnessed improved demand after the end of the second quarter due to a combination of increased power-generation demand, higher natural gas prices and impacts from the economy slowly reopening. Despite challenging market conditions experienced during the last twelve months, we expect to significantly increase and diversify our addressable markets and utilization of our production capabilities as we continue to explore more strategic partnerships and solutions that leverage the low-cost nature of our best-in-class asset. The market is structurally imbalanced and we are seeing signs of consolidation, and we are poised to emerge in a position to strongly compete in the market."

Marken concluded, “Also, as previously announced, Tinuum Group identified tax-equity investors for two additional Refined Coal transactions during the month of July; one new facility and one sale of 49% of retained interest. The incremental cash flows from these two transactions are not included in our quarter-end forecasted net RC cash flows through the end of 2021, though these facilities are smaller in nature and largely serve to cover existing Tinuum operating costs and offset risk related to coal-fired power generation rather than deliver material increases to expected future net RC cash flows. Nonetheless, these two announcements are important closures to protect our liquidity position."

Second Quarter and First Half 2020 Results

Second quarter revenues and costs of revenues were $11.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, compared with $15.6 million and $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. First half revenues and costs of revenues were  $23.7 million and $18.9 million, respectively, compared with $34.9 million and $26.4 million in the first half of 2019. The decreases in revenues were primarily the result of lower consumables revenue driven by lower volumes that were negatively impacted by low coal-fired power dispatch and overall decreases in power-generation as well as lower royalty income.

Second quarter royalty earnings from Tinuum Group were $3.3 million, compared to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. First half royalty earnings from Tinuum Group were $6.4 million, compared to $8.4 million for the first half of 2019. Royalty income is based upon a percentage of the per-ton, pre-tax margin, inclusive of impacts related to depreciation expense and other allocable expenses. The lower royalty earnings in the second quarter and first half were due to increased depreciation and lower rent payments to Tinuum which also impacted the Company's equity earnings. Royalty earnings are expected to be negatively impacted due to these changes in both 2020 and 2021.

Second quarter other operating expenses were $35.1 million compared to $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. First half other operating expenses were $44.5 million compared to $16.3 million in 2019. The increases were primarily driven by non-cash impairment charges taken on certain plant-and mine-related long-lived assets of $26.1 million, severance charges related to changes in executive leadership positions of $1.4 million and sequestration expenses related to the COVID pandemic of $0.4 million. In assessing impairment, the Company considered factors such as the significant decline in both PGI’s trailing twelve months’ and current and future years’ forecasted revenues, which is largely due to the significant drop in coal-fired power dispatch that began in 2019 and is anticipated to continue in the near term largely due to the current and forecasted historical low prices of alternative power generation sources such as natural gas.

Second quarter earnings from equity method investments were $8.2 million, compared to $20.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. First half earnings from equity method investments were $16.4 million, compared to $42.6 million for the first half of 2019. The decreases in earnings from equity method investments during the second quarter and first half were primarily due to lower earnings from Tinuum Group resulting from higher depreciation on all Tinuum Group RC facilities as a result of a reduction in their estimated useful lives during the third quarter of 2019 and due to Tinuum Group restructuring RC facility leases with its largest customer, which decreased net lease payments and equity earnings beginning in the three months ended September 30, 2019. The declines were also a result of point-in-time revenue recognition of certain RC contracts by Tinuum Group in both the second quarter and first half of 2019.

Second quarter interest expense was $1.0 million, compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. First half interest expense was $2.2 million compared to $4.1 million in 2019. The decreases in interest expense were driven by a lower principal amount outstanding on the term loan used to fund the Carbon Solutions acquisition.

Second quarter income tax expense was $0.1 million, compared to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2019. First half income tax expense was $0.5 million compared to $8.3 million in 2019.

Net loss was $23.8 million for the second quarter compared to net profit of $8.1 million in 2019. First half net loss was $25.7 million compared to first half net income of $22.5 million in 2019. The decreases in net income were driven by the aforementioned impairment charge of $26.1 million as well as lower earnings from equity method investments.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million for the second quarter compared to $15.1 million in 2019. First half consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $23.1 million compared to $33.1 million in 2019. The decreases in consolidated adjusted EBITDA were driven by lower earnings from equity method investments, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense.

Long-Term Borrowings

As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the senior term loan was $28.0 million. The senior term loan is subject to customary covenants as well as quarterly principal payments of $6.0 million that began on March 1, 2019.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Press Release includes non-GAAP measures of certain financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Segment EBITDA, RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA and PGI Segment Adjusted EBITDA. The Company included non-GAAP measures because management believes that they help to facilitate comparison of operating results between periods. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and users of the financial statements by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of core operating results and business outlook. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

The Company has defined Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that the Company does not consider representative of its ongoing operating performance: depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion, interest expense, net, income tax expense; then reduced by the non-cash impact of equity earnings from equity method investments and increased by cash distributions from equity method investments and impairment of long-lived assets. The Company believes that the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA measure is less susceptible to variances that affect the Company's operating performance.

Segment EBITDA is calculated as Segment operating income (loss) adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that the Company does not consider representative of its ongoing operating performance: depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion and interest expense, net. When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Segment EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that management believes is a useful measure related the Company's PGI segment performance and the PGI segment performance relative to the performance of their respective competitors as well as performance period over period. Additionally, the Company believes these measures are less susceptible to variances that affect their respective operating performance results.

The Company defined RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA as RC Segment EBITDA reduced by the non-cash impact of equity earnings from equity method investments and increased by cash distributions from equity method investments.

The Company defined PGI Segment Segment Adjusted EBITDA as PGI Segment EBITDA increased by the non-cash impact of impairment.

The Company presents the non-GAAP measures because the Company believes they are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company's operating performance and provide greater transparency into the results of operations. The Company's management uses Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA as factors in evaluating the performance of its business.

The adjustments to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA in future periods are generally expected to be similar. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing the Company's results as reported under GAAP.
