Rhea-AI Summary

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) reported its Q4 2020 results, revealing a 37.3% revenue drop to $75 million, primarily due to reduced sales and lower U.S. federal excise tax credits compared to 2019. Total gallons delivered declined 7% year-over-year, affected by COVID-19, though RNG gallons increased by 7%. The company anticipates 2021 net income to be approximately breakeven with an Adjusted EBITDA forecast of $60-62 million, reflecting ongoing impacts from the pandemic. Clean Energy asserts its commitment to renewable natural gas (RNG) amid new joint ventures with Total and BP.

Positive
  • RNG gallons delivered increased 7% in 2020 to 153.3 million, indicating growth in the renewable sector.
  • Station construction revenue grew by 15.2% to $26.6 million in 2020, showcasing an expansion in infrastructure.
  • New joint venture agreements with Total and BP highlight strategic partnerships to enhance RNG market position.
Negative
  • Revenue fell by 15.2% in 2020 to $291.7 million, largely due to the pandemic's impact on fuel volumes.
  • Fourth quarter net loss attributable to Clean Energy was $(2.6) million, down from a profit of $41.1 million in Q4 2019.
  • Lower effective pricing for gallons delivered contributed to the overall revenue decline.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) (“Clean Energy” or the “Company”) today announced its operating results for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “Companies, municipalities and any organization that operates a fleet of vehicles are looking to de-carbonize as quickly as they can. Fortunately, Clean Energy’s previous investments in renewable natural gas and our ongoing focus on that business is beginning to pay off, highlighted by recent deals like LA Metro that signed a long-term high-volume RNG agreement with us as part of their commitment to becoming carbon neutral. Simply put, RNG is the future of our company. We believe the road ahead is to offer RNG to every customer so that they can make a substantial contribution towards addressing climate change. We finished the year as expected financially and announced two exciting RNG joint venture arrangements with Total and BP as we grow to meet demand for our low carbon RNG.”

The Company delivered 96.0 million gallons in the fourth quarter of 2020, a 7% decrease from 103.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. This decrease was principally from the continuing effects of COVID-19, primarily impacting the airports and public transit customer markets. For 2020 the Company delivered 382.5 million gallons, a 5% decrease from 400.8 million in 2019. While the airports and public transit customer markets were below 2019 levels due to COVID-19, refuse, trucking, and bulk deliveries each finished ahead in 2020 compared to 2019. RNG gallons delivered increased 7% in 2020 to 153.3 million gallons despite also experiencing negative impacts from lower fuel volumes within the airports and public transit markets.

The Company’s revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $75.0 million, a decrease of 37.3% compared to $119.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. This decrease is principally attributed to revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 including eight quarters of U.S. federal excise tax credits for alternative fuels ("AFTC") in the amount of $47.1 million, which applied to vehicle fuel sales made from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, compared to only one quarter of AFTC in the fourth quarter of 2020 in the amount of $5.0 million, which applied to vehicle fuel sales made from October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was also negatively impacted by lower volumes from the continuing effects of COVID-19. Each period included an unrealized loss on commodity swap and customer fueling contracts relating to the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program in the amount of $1.9 million and $3.3 million for the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Station construction revenue was steady at $7.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Company’s revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $291.7 million, a decrease of 15.2% compared to $344.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was attributed to 2019 including two years of AFTC in the amount of $47.1 million, compared to one year of AFTC included in 2020 in the amount of $19.8 million, as well as lower volumes from the pandemic and generally lower effective pricing for gallons delivered in 2020 versus 2019. Both years included unrealized gains (losses) on commodity swap and customer fueling contracts relating to the Company’s Zero Now program in the amount of $2.1 million and $(6.6) million for 2020 and 2019, respectively. Station construction sales increased 15.2% to $26.6 million for 2020 compared to $23.1 million for 2019.

On a GAAP (as defined below) basis, net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $(2.6) million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to $41.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019. The primary differences between the periods being greater AFTC in 2019 by $36.7 million due to the recognition of eight quarters of AFTC in 2019 versus one quarter of AFTC in 2020, and $6.6 million of additional gain on the disposal of certain assets of a subsidiary in 2019 versus 2020. In 2020 we also delivered lower volumes of fuel and had lower related volume gross profit margins from the effects of COVID-19.

On a GAAP basis, net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $(9.9) million, or $(0.05) per share, compared to $20.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The comparability of yearly results is impacted by the negative effects of COVID-19 in 2020, and the inclusion of eight quarters of AFTC in 2019 versus four quarters in 2020, and a greater gain on disposal of certain assets in 2019 versus 2020. Additionally, the year ended December 31, 2020 was positively affected by station installation revenue and the unrealized gain on commodity swap and customer fueling contracts, while the comparable 2019 period was negatively affected by the unrealized loss on commodity swap and customer fueling contracts.

Non-GAAP loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined below) for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $(0.00) and $13.6 million, respectively. Non-GAAP income per share and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $0.21 and $57.0 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $(0.04) and $45.1 million, respectively. Non-GAAP income per share and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.15 and $85.6 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA are described below and reconciled to GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to Clean Energy and GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures that it calls non-GAAP income (loss) per share (“non-GAAP income (loss) per share”) and adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Management presents non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes these measures provide meaningful supplemental information about the Company’s performance, for the following reasons: (1) these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to assess the Company’s operating performance and make financial and operational decisions; (2) these measures exclude the effect of items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and may obscure trends in the business; and (3) these measures are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s business. In future quarters, the Company may make adjustments for other expenditures, charges or gains to present non-GAAP financial measures that the Company’s management believes are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP results. The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for the items described below (and/or other items that may arise in the future as the Company’s management deems appropriate), and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses, charges or gains similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to GAAP income (loss), GAAP income (loss) per share or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Income (Loss) Per Share

Non-GAAP income (loss) per share, which the Company presents as a non-GAAP measure of its performance, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp., plus stock-based compensation expense, plus (minus) loss (income) from equity method investments, and plus (minus) any loss (gain) from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, the total of which is divided by the Company’s weighted-average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis. The Company’s management believes excluding non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s performance because of the varying available valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside of management’s control), the subjectivity of the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use, which may obscure trends in a company’s core operating performance. Similarly, the Company believes excluding the non-cash results from equity method investments is useful to investors because these charges are not part of or representative of the core operations of the Company. In addition, the Company’s management believes excluding the non-cash loss (gain) from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is useful to investors because the valuation of the derivative instruments is based on a number of subjective assumptions, the amount of the loss or gain is derived from market forces outside of management’s control, and the exclusion of these amounts enables investors to compare the Company’s performance with other companies that do not use, or use different forms of, derivative instruments.

The table below shows GAAP and non-GAAP income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy per share and also reconciles GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy to an adjusted net income (loss) figure used in the calculation of non-GAAP income (loss) per share:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company presents as a non-GAAP measure of its performance, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy, plus (minus) income tax expense (benefit), plus interest expense, minus interest income, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus stock-based compensation expense, plus (minus) loss (income) from equity method investments, and plus (minus) any loss (gain) from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s performance for the same reasons discussed above with respect to non-GAAP income (loss) per share. In addition, management internally uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine elements of executive and employee compensation.

(1)

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, volume-related revenue includes an unrealized gain (loss) from the change in fair value of commodity swap and customer fueling contracts of $(1.9) million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, volume-related revenue includes an unrealized (loss) from the change in fair value of commodity swap and customer contracts of $(3.3) million and $(6.6) million, respectively.

(2)

In 2019, we recognized AFTC revenue for the vehicle fuel we sold in 2018 and 2019 in the three months ended December 31, 2019.

2021 Outlook

GAAP net income (loss) for 2021 is expected to be approximately breakeven, assuming no unrealized gains or losses on commodity swap and customer contracts and contemplates a prolonged effect and more flattened recovery curve from the COVID-19 pandemic through the middle of 2021. Changes in diesel and natural gas market conditions resulting in unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s commodity swap contracts could significantly impact the Company’s estimated GAAP net income for 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 is expected to range from $60 million to $62 million. These expectations also exclude the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures, new joint ventures, transactions or other extraordinary events including a deterioration in, slower or lack of any recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the expectations regarding 2021 Adjusted EBITDA assumes the calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner as described above and without adjustments for any other items that may arise during 2021 and that management deems appropriate to exclude. These expectations are forward-looking statements and are qualified by the statement under “Safe Harbor Statement” below.
