Gevo Inc reported Q3 2024 financial results with combined revenue and interest income of $5.8 million. The company secured a $1.6 billion DOE loan guarantee conditional commitment for its Net-Zero 1 project. Key developments include the acquisition of Red Trail Energy's ethanol and carbon capture assets, expected to contribute to positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2025. Q3 highlights: cash position of $292.9 million, RNG subsidiary revenue of $2.0 million, and net loss of $0.09 per share. The company's RNG revenue decreased due to environmental attribute inventory buildup, anticipating LCFS Program pathway approval in Q1 2025.

Positive
  • Secured $1.6 billion DOE loan guarantee conditional commitment for Net-Zero 1 project
  • Strong cash position of $292.9 million at quarter end
  • Strategic acquisition of Red Trail Energy assets expected to drive positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2025
  • Generated $15.3 million from Investment Tax Credit sale
Negative
  • Q3 net loss of $0.09 per share
  • Operating loss increased by $3.3 million year-over-year
  • Revenue decreased $2.6 million compared to Q3 2023
  • RNG subsidiary reported standalone GAAP loss of $2.8 million

Insights

The Q3 results reveal significant strategic developments but continued operational challenges. Key financials show $292.9M in cash reserves, $5.8M in combined revenue and a net loss of $0.09 per share. The $1.6B DOE loan guarantee commitment for NZ1 is transformative, substantially de-risking the project's financing. The Red Trail Energy acquisition positions for positive Adjusted EBITDA by 2025.

Revenue declined due to strategic inventory buildup of environmental attributes, awaiting better pricing post-LCFS approval. Operating loss widened to $24M, with increased project development and G&A costs partially offset by reduced R&D expenses. The $15.3M ITC sale demonstrates effective monetization of tax credits, though cash position continues to decline as expected during development phase.

The strategic positioning in carbon abatement markets shows promise, with multiple revenue streams developing across RNG, SAF and carbon credits. The Red Trail acquisition adds significant ethanol and CCS capabilities, while the CultivateAI integration enhances carbon tracking capabilities. The ETO patent strengthens the company's intellectual property portfolio in bio-based hydrocarbon production.

The RNG segment's performance ($2M revenue, 101,101 MMBtu sold) reflects tactical inventory management ahead of anticipated LCFS pathway approval. This temporary revenue reduction should translate to higher future margins when inventory is sold under improved carbon intensity scores in Q1 2025.

Gevo to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) (“Gevo”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2024 and recent corporate highlights.

Recent Corporate Highlights

  • Net-Zero 1 (“NZ1”): Gevo has received a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee with borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion (including capitalized interest during construction) from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office (“LPO”) for the NZ1 project in South Dakota. We believe this significant milestone signals the strength of the project to finance the world’s first large-scale, net-zero-emissions alcohol-to-jet production facility.
  • Red Trail Asset Acquisition: Gevo has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the ethanol production and carbon capture and sequestration (“CCS”) assets of Red Trail Energy, LLC (“Red Trail Energy”). The Adjusted EBITDA1 from the Red Trail Energy assets, when combined with Adjusted EBITDA1 from Gevo’s renewable natural gas (“RNG”), Verity and other businesses, is expected to make Gevo’s Adjusted EBITDA1 positive in 2025.
  • CultivateAI Acquisition: Gevo acquired Cultivate Agricultural Intelligence, LLC (“CultivateAI”), which leverages drone and satellite-based imaging and GIS mapping to generate digital inventories for agriculture and land use, for its Verity business unit. We believe the integration of CultivateAI into the Verity platform will provide comprehensive, highest quality, data-driven solutions for carbon abatement in food, feed, fuels, and industrial markets, while simultaneously helping farmers improve their operations, sustainability, and profitability.
  • Ethanol to Olefins (“ETO”) Patent: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted to Gevo two patents for its ETO process. This process is designed to improve the cost and yields of drop-in, bio-based hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals from ethanol, and adds to Gevo’s global portfolio of more than 300 patents, as well as proprietary processes and know-how concerning processes to convert carbohydrates to hydrocarbons.
  • Sale of Investment Tax Credits: Gevo announced the sale of Investment Tax Credits, monetizing Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) credits generated from the commercialization of its renewable natural gas (“RNG”) facility.

2024 Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Ended the third quarter with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $292.9 million.
  • Combined revenue and interest and investment income was $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, combined revenue and interest and investment income was $23.8 million.
  • On a standalone basis, our RNG subsidiary generated revenue of $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, consisting of RNG sales of 101,101 MMBtu for $0.2 million and $1.8 million of net proceeds from sales of environmental attributes. This revenue decreased relative to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower sales of environmental attributes as a result of a buildup of environmental attribute inventory. The buildup of inventory is in anticipation of receiving the final pathway approval under the LCFS Program, which we expect to result in a lower carbon intensity (“CI”) score and result in a potentially higher value when the inventory is released and sold. This CI pathway approval is anticipated during the first quarter of 2025.
  • Loss from operations of $24.0 million for the third quarter.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss2 of $16.7 million for the third quarter.
  • Investment Tax Credit sale proceeds of $15.3 million are reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows, Investing Activities, as a capital-related items, net of adjustments.
  • On a standalone basis, our RNG subsidiary generated standalone GAAP loss from operations of $2.8 million, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss2 of $1.2 million for the third quarter.
  • Net loss per share of $0.09 for the third quarter.

____________________
2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization, allocated intercompany expenses for shared service functions, and non-cash stock-based compensation to GAAP loss from operations. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP loss from operations is provided in the financial statement tables following this release. Adjusted EBITDA was referred to as “cash EBITDA” in previous periods.

Management Comment

Lynn Smull, Gevo’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Securing the DOE's $1.6 billion loan guarantee conditional commitment is a transformative milestone for Gevo and our Net-Zero 1 project. Reaching the DOE commitment illustrates Gevo’s pioneering ability to develop and reduce the risk of a financially attractive, large-scale, net-zero SAF production facility. Additionally, given the acquisition of the Red Trail Energy assets combined with Verity and expected near term RNG growth, we believe that we are well-positioned to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2025. The investments we’re making are strategically positioning us for long-term growth in new industries that need low-carbon products, while managing our cash and capital expenditures to execute from a position of financial strength.”

Dr. Patrick Gruber, Gevo’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “Everything we do is tied together by the concept of carbon abatement as a means to create value in the clean energy market sector, profit for the company, and value for our shareholders. The progress on Net-Zero business systems, which include NZ1 and the Red Trail Energy asset acquisition, underscores our commitment to developing our businesses to abate carbon and serving enormous, growing markets. Our advancements in areas like Verity, with our CultivateAI acquisition, reflect our commitment to creating resilient value chains that support carbon abatement from field to flight, in the case of SAF, but also for other fuels, chemicals and food chains. In the Net-Zero business system, it is all about making products that people value, and doing it profitably, just like any other business. There is more, though. It’s also about rural economic development, energy security, creation of jobs, and rewarding farmers. Overall, it’s all about carbon abatement across the whole of the supply chain, while everyone in the supply chain benefits economically.”

2024 Third Quarter Financial Results

Operating revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, operating revenue decreased $2.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower sales of environmental attributes from our RNG project. This is due to a buildup of environmental attribute inventory in anticipation of receiving the final pathway approval under the LCFS Program, which we expect to result in a lower CI score. Said approval is anticipated during the first quarter of 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 101,101 MMBtu of RNG from our RNG project, resulting in RNG sales of $0.2 million and environmental attribute sales of $1.8 million.

Cost of production. Cost of production remained flat during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to the timing of sales of environmental attribute inventory, which includes allocated depreciation and amortization.

Research and development expense. Research and development expenses decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to decreased consulting expenses and professional fees.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in personnel costs related to the hiring of highly qualified and skilled professionals, and professional consulting fees, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation. On an annual basis, we assess our corporate cost allocation estimates across all segments to reflect the use of centralized administrative functions as well as the allocation of personnel costs related to our project development efforts.

Project development costs. Project development costs are primarily related to our Net-Zero Projects and Verity, which consist primarily of employee expenses, preliminary engineering costs, and technical consulting costs. Project development costs increased $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in personnel costs, consulting fees, and costs related to our USDA Grant, which have not yet been reimbursed.

Facility idling costs. Facility idling costs are related to the care and maintenance of our Luverne Facility. Facility idling costs decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Loss from operations. The Company’s loss from operations increased $3.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the increase in costs for our Net-Zero and Verity projects.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, and was primarily comprised of interest on the Remarketed Bonds.

Interest and investment income. Interest and investment income decreased $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the usage of cash for our capital projects and operating costs, resulting in a lower balance of cash equivalent investments during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to a variety of matters, including, without limitation, the financing and the timing of our NZ1 project, the agreement with LG Chem, the DOE loan guarantee process, the Red Trail Energy acquisition and timing of its closing, the successful integration of the CultivateAI acquisition, the success and revenue of Verity, the success of our ETO business, our financial condition, our results of operation and liquidity, our business plans, our business development activities, our Net-Zero Projects, financial projections related to our business, our RNG project, our fuel sales agreements, our plans to develop our business, our ability to successfully develop, construct and finance our operations and growth projects, our ability to achieve cash flow from our planned projects, the ability of our products to contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions, particulate and sulfur pollution, and other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are made based on the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the management of Gevo and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Gevo undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although Gevo believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve many risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from what may be expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains a financial measure that does not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, allocated intercompany expenses for shared service functions, and non-cash stock-based compensation from GAAP loss from operations. Management believes this measure is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to Gevo’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. In addition, Gevo believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding Gevo’s operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided below.
