Insights

The Q3 2024 results show mixed signals. While revenues increased 19% year-over-year to $81.4 million, the company reported a net loss of $17.9 million, contrasting with net income of $30.7 million in Q3 2023. The revenue growth across all segments is positive, but high interest expenses of $11.7 million and operating losses of $3.9 million remain concerning. Cash position is critically low at $296,000, down from $2.7 million at end of 2023. The recent CARB approval of 20-year LCFS mandates could provide future revenue stability, but immediate financial health concerns persist given the substantial debt burden and weak cash position.

The multi-segment growth strategy shows promise, with ethanol generating $45 million, biodiesel $32.2 million and RNG $4.2 million in revenues. The RNG segment's expansion to nine operating dairy digesters and pending LCFS provisional pathway approvals could unlock significant value. The 20-year CARB LCFS mandate provides long-term market stability for all renewable products. However, execution risks remain high given the capital-intensive nature of these projects and the company's tight liquidity. The India subsidiary's planned IPO could provide needed capital, but timing and success are uncertain.

Revenues Increased 19% Over the Third Quarter of 2023

CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company focused on low and negative carbon intensity products that replace fossil fuels, today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Revenues of $81.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 reflect strong execution by all three of the company’s operating segments, with the California Ethanol business generating $45.0 million in revenues, the India Biodiesel business generating $32.2 million in revenues, and the Dairy Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) business generating $4.2 million in revenues.

“Each of the Aemetis segments increased revenue during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024, reflecting underlying strength and growth,” stated Todd Waltz, Chief Financial Officer of Aemetis. “Additionally, we anticipate substantial revenue growth from our operating dairies and new dairies under construction when we receive LCFS provisional pathway approvals as well as federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 45Z production tax credits for RNG,” added Waltz.

“The approval of 20 years of Low Carbon Fuel Standard mandates last Friday by CARB is a major milestone for renewable fuels that directly increases revenues and earnings from each of our U.S. businesses and projects in ethanol, biogas, SAF/RD and carbon sequestration,” said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis.  “In addition to solid growth in our U.S. businesses, our India subsidiary generated $112 million of revenues driven by the one-year, cost-plus contract with government-owned oil marketing companies that ended in Q3 2024, and we appointed a Chief Executive Officer for the India business who is leading our work towards an IPO of the subsidiary.”

We invite investors to review the Aemetis Corporate Presentation on the Aemetis home page prior to the earnings call.
