LOUISVILLE, KY / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2022 / Charah Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:CHRA) ("Charah Solutions" or the "Company"), a leading provider of environmental services and byproduct recycling to the power generation industry, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2022.
Second Quarter Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported revenue of
- This is a non-GAAP financial measure; see below for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Several factors impacted financial results in the second quarter of 2022. As previously discussed, increased costs associated with the completion and demobilization of three legacy projects continued into the second quarter. However, two of the projects have now been completed, and the third is substantially complete. Additionally, as expected, the startup challenges relating to the two large beneficial use projects previously discussed continued in the quarter. The Company continues to forecast improvement in these long-term projects in the second half of the year. Charah Solutions also continues to work closely with customers on contract adjustments and billing milestones that we expect will provide recovery of certain costs incurred to-date and improve contractual profitability and cash flow during the second half of the year and throughout the remaining contract period.
"Charah Solutions' business results and growth prospects improved in the second quarter," said Scott Sewell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Charah Solution. "We are not the same Company we were at our IPO or even two years ago. With the addition of our highly profitable environmental risk transfer ("ERT") business and our first commercial EnviroSource beneficiation technology agreement, we now have five dynamic income streams. Opportunities across all our business categories - Remediation and Compliance, Byproduct Services, which includes EnviroSource, ERT and Raw Material Sales - are expanding, and our pace of new awards is again accelerating. Though our second quarter continued to be impacted by legacy construction projects and startup challenges relating to two long-term beneficial use projects, we expect improvement in the second half of 2022, and we are well positioned for future earnings and cash flow growth," continued Mr. Sewell.
First EnviroSource℠ Beneficiation Technology Award
Charah Solutions is very excited to announce that it has been awarded, and the parties have agreed on the principal terms of a long-term contract for the Company's proprietary EnviroSource℠ fly ash beneficiation technology to recycle reclaimed ash with a major utility in the Western U.S. The parties are actively working to finalize and sign definitive contract documents. Charah Solutions' EnviroSource technology makes formerly unusable fly ash stored in ponds and landfills marketable to ready-mix concrete producers to be beneficially used in the production of concrete, providing a superior product at a lower cost. The Company expects to beneficiate and recycle approximately 130,000 tons of ash per year over the ten-year life of the contract from two of the customer's ash ponds.
All beneficiated ash is expected to be sold into the local ready-mix concrete market as a substitute for Portland cement. By reducing the need for Portland cement, a leading contributor to greenhouse gases, we believe this first environmentally sustainable recycling project will save over 500,000 tons of CO 2 from entering the atmosphere. Deployment of our innovative EnviroSource technology should also help reduce groundwater risk in and around the current ash storage facilities. The Company expects construction to begin in the second half of this year, with commissioning in the later part of 2023.
"We are thrilled to reach an agreement on this much anticipated long-term contract for our first in-the-field EnviroSource unit," said Mr. Sewell. "We believe this ash recycling technology will be a game-changer as our customers now have a cost-effective and sustainable solution to address their environmental remediation requirements, and that will help drive a much-needed reduction of greenhouse gases through the replacement of Portland cement. EnviroSource requires a far less significant capital investment compared to other alternatives on the market while at the same time increasing the tonnage of beneficiated fly ash used in concrete production and decreasing the use of natural resources.
"We take our ESG commitments seriously, and we expect that this innovative technology will further enable us to meet and exceed our environmental goals as well as those of our customers. With an estimated
ERT Project Progress
Charah Solutions closed on two new ERT projects in April with GenOn -- the Avon Lake facility in Ohio and the Cheswick facility in Pennsylvania. In July, the Avon Lake Environmental Redevelopment Group ("ALERG"), Charah Solutions' wholly-owned ERT subsidiary, along with the mayor of Avon Lake and representatives from the Avon Lake Community Investment Corporation, held a public meeting for the citizens of the Avon Lake area to participate in the unveiling of the Company's project redevelopment plans, ask questions and provide feedback. Since closing on the property, scrap sales have begun at Avon Lake, and the Company expects the income from sales of recyclable scrap and parcels to exceed original projections.
Before beginning operations at the Cheswick ERT project, Charah Solutions received
At the Gibbons Creek ERT project, remediation activities continue to run ahead of schedule, and the Company expects to complete all remediation work in early 2023. All remaining real estate parcels at Gibbons Creek are under contract to be sold, and the Company expects closing on these parcel sales to resume in the second half of the year and into early 2023. Since the beginning of the Gibbons Creek project, the Company has recorded approximately
"ALERG, Charah Solutions, and our ERT partners were very pleased to join with the mayor of Avon Lake and members of the Avon Lake Community Investment Corporation to publicly unveil our "once in a lifetime" lakefront transformation project overview and initial redevelopment options to the citizens of the city of Avon Lake last month," said Mr. Sewell. "Our team, along with city leaders, has been planning and identifying options for the best use of the property with the intent to benefit all members of the community, drive economic impact, increase the tax base, and create jobs, all while sustainably redeveloping the site for the betterment of the environment. This project is a generational opportunity to reframe the former power plant site into a regional attraction while restoring the lakefront ecosystem. Along with the Cheswick ERT and the highly successful Gibbons Creek ERT that is rapidly concluding, we are tremendously excited about the future of our ERT business."
Additional Business Updates

Charah Solutions' year-to-date new awards have grown to
"We were pleased that new customer awards have accelerated since the first quarter with the four new awards with regulated utilities we announced," continued Mr. Sewell. "We are honored to be trusted by a long-term utility partner in the Southeast with one of the largest and longest-term contracts in Charah Solutions' history. Additionally, we recently announced three ash pond remediation and landfill operations contracts across Louisiana and Arkansas. These Remediation and Compliance and Byproduct Services projects are the historic core of our business, and we are pleased to continue to be recognized as a leader in this space. Together, these projects bring our year-to-date new awards to over

Since the end of the first quarter, Charah Solutions' pipeline for pending work, for which the Company has submitted a bid but has not yet been awarded, increased to
"As previously discussed, we expected to see customer activity pick-up in the second half of the year following the slowdown we saw earlier this year after the EPA's January 11, 2022 announcement strengthening the 2015 CCR Regulations," said Mr. Sewell. "During the second quarter, we saw increased market activity with respect to customer interactions, inquiries and RFPs. Our opportunity set continues to expand as our utility and independent power producer customers address their environmental remediation requirements. We are encouraged by the continued expansion in the addressable market. We are particularly excited about the potential growth in our ERT opportunities based on increases in our RFPs and unsolicited bids we have made to potential ERT customers during the year. I want to thank all of our dedicated team members as they work hard every day to operate safely, provide outstanding service to our customers and help keep Charah Solutions on the positive track we are on today."

2. The forward-looking measures of 2022 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures that cannot be reconciled to net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc., and cash flows from operating activities, respectively, as the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort primarily because of the uncertainties involved in estimating forward-looking measures.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Charah Solutions defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc. before income from discontinued operations, net of tax, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, impairment expense (including inventory reserves), gain on change in contingent payment liability and transaction-related expenses and other items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenue.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful performance measures because they allow for an effective evaluation of our operating performance compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. Management excludes the items listed above from net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc. in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-recurring or can vary substantially within Charah Solutions' industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc. determined according to GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Charah Solutions' Adjusted EBITDA presentation should not be construed as an indication that the Company's results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Charah Solutions' computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Charah Solutions uses Adjusted EBITDA margin to measure the Company's business's success in managing its cost base and improving profitability. A reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc., Charah Solutions' most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a calculation of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA margin is included in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted loss per basic/diluted share are not financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Charah Solutions defines Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders as net loss attributable to common stockholders less, on a post-tax basis, income from discontinued operations, net of tax, and plus, on a post-tax basis, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment expense (including inventory reserves) and transaction-related expenses and other items. Management excludes the items listed above to provide a more meaningful comparison of the Company's operating performance when compared to prior periods. Adjusted net loss and Adjusted loss per basic/diluted share should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net loss attributable to common stockholders. or loss per basic/diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted net loss and Adjusted loss per basic/diluted share to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is provided in the supplemental financial data attached to this press release.
Adjusted free cash flow is not a financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities, cash and restricted cash received from ERT transactions and proceeds from the sales of real estate, property and equipment, less cash used for capital expenditures. We include cash and restricted cash received from ERT transactions and proceeds from the sales of real estate, property and equipment and deduct cash used for capital expenditures because we consider them to be a necessary component of our ongoing operations. We consider Adjusted free cash flow to be a measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet, but it is not intended to represent the amount of cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from this measure.
The Company uses non-GAAP measures internally as a key performance measure of the results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance. These measures facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and help investors better understand Company's operating results by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business or operating results. The Company believes the use of these measures enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, the Company's operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. The non-GAAP measures are a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or earnings per basic/diluted share (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.
BACKLOG
Backlog amounts are determined based on, among other things, contracted fixed price and lump sum awards, contracted unit price awards, contracted Byproduct Services awards based on customer-provided CCR projections with the Company's experience-based estimates of market sales prices, and the recently awarded EnviroSource project. These estimates may prove inaccurate, which could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected or not at all. We have occasionally experienced postponements, cancellations, and reductions in expected future work due to changes in our customers' spending plans, estimated plant production, market volatility, supply and demand and regulatory and other factors. In certain volume-based contracts, our customers are not contractually committed to providing certain byproduct volumes. There can be no assurance as to the accuracy of our estimates or that contracts included in our backlog will be profitable. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings.
GUIDANCE LANGUAGE
This guidance is based on our current expectations of no material worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically including, but not limited to, no material customer work stoppages, no significant employee absences, no exacerbated supply chain or transportation issues and no government-mandated quarantines. Any worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our 2022 outlook. Although we have not experienced significant disruptions thus far from the pandemic due to the critical nature of our customers' operations, the pandemic or any future major public health crisis could impact our business, consolidated results of operations and financial condition in the future. We are monitoring the impact on our business of current macroeconomic conditions, particularly with regard to the availability and cost of labor, and supply chain issues, particularly affecting transportation logistics and the availability of certain materials. We have observed an overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market, although we have not experienced any material disruptions due to labor shortages. A sustained labor shortage or an increase in turnover, whether attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic or general macroeconomic conditions, could result in higher labor costs, for us or our subcontractors. Supply chain issues, including shortages of equipment, vehicles and construction supplies, affecting us or our subcontractors could increase our costs or cause delays in our ability to complete our projects. In addition, there are timing uncertainties associated with the startup of recently announced customer awards, including ERT awards. As with our 2021 results, the impact of weather, including hurricanes, excessive rain or moderate temperatures, could adversely affect our results.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation: Net Loss Attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc. to Adjusted EBITDA
(in thousands)
(Unaudited)
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc. before income from discontinued operations, net of tax, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, impairment expense (including inventory reserves), gain on change in contingent payment liability and transaction-related expenses and other items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to total revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful performance measures because they allow for an effective evaluation of our operating performance compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to Charah Solutions, Inc., our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with our Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders and Adjusted Loss per Basic/Diluted Share
(in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders and Adjusted loss per basic/diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. We define Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders as net loss attributable to common stockholders less, on a post-tax basis, income from discontinued operations, net of tax plus, on a post-tax basis, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment expense (including inventory reserves) and transaction-related expenses and other items. Adjusted loss per basic/diluted share is based on Adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation: Cash Flows from Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow
(in thousands)
(Unaudited)
We define Adjusted free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities, cash and restricted cash received from ERT transactions and proceeds from the sales of real estate, property and equipment, less cash used for capital expenditures. We include cash and restricted cash received from ERT transactions and proceeds from the sales of property and equipment and exclude capital expenditures because we consider them to be a necessary component of our ongoing operations. We consider Adjusted free cash flow to be a measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet, but it is not intended to represent the amount of cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from this measure.
The following represents a reconciliation of net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted free cash flow. The presentation of Adjusted free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity.
