Insights

Q3 2024 shows strong financial performance with $84.0 million revenue, up 18% YoY and net income of $17.1 million. Key growth metrics include RNG production increasing 43% to 1.0 million MMBtu and RNG fuel sales up 80% to 19.6 million GGEs. The company's vertical integration strategy is paying off, with 11 operational RNG facilities and 6 under construction.

The liquidity position remains robust at $285.3 million, including $254.3 million credit facility availability and $31.0 million cash. Capital expenditure of $72.8 million in 2024 demonstrates continued investment in growth. The $23.1 million RNG Pending Monetization represents significant near-term revenue potential.

OPAL's operational expansion is impressive, with design capacity more than doubling organically over two years to 8.8 million MMBtu annually. The facility utilization metrics are strong - 72% inlet capacity utilization and 84% inlet gas utilization indicate efficient operations. New facilities like Sapphire (0.8M MMBtu) and Polk County (1.1M MMBtu) strengthen the production portfolio.

The construction pipeline, including Atlantic, Cottonwood, Burlington and Kirby projects, will add 2.6 million MMBtu capacity. This systematic capacity expansion, combined with 81% growth in transportation fuel sales, positions OPAL well in the growing renewable natural gas market.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- OPAL Fuels Inc. (“OPAL Fuels” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL), a vertically integrated leader in the capture and conversion of biogas into low carbon intensity renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable power, today announced results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

“Our third quarter results were strong and provide momentum for this year and next,” said Adam Comora, Co-CEO. “We’re executing on our strategic objectives - bringing RNG projects online, putting additional projects into construction, and growing and leveraging our vertically integrated downstream business. Over the course of this year, we have successfully brought online three landfill RNG facilities, begun construction on three new landfill RNG projects, and grown our downstream business significantly,” continued Comora.

“We remain in a strong position to meet our current 2024 guidance.

(1)

Design Capacity for RNG facilities is measured as the volume of feedstock biogas that the facility is capable of accepting at the inlet and processing during the associated period. Design Capacity is presented as OPAL’s ownership share (i.e., net of joint venture partners’ ownership) of the facility and is calculated based on the number of days in the period. New facilities that come online during a quarter are pro-rated for the number of days in commercial operation.

 

 

(2)

Inlet Design Capacity Utilization is measured as the Volume of Inlet Gas for a period, divided by the total Design Capacity for such period. The Volume of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on, among other factors, (i) the quantity and quality of waste deposited at the landfill, (ii) waste management practices by the landfill, and (iii) the construction, operations and maintenance of the LFG collection system used to recover the LFG. The Design Capacity for each facility will typically be correlated to the amount of LFG expected to be generated by the landfill during the term of the related gas rights agreement. The Company expects Inlet Design Capacity Utilization to be in the range of 75-85% on an aggregate basis over the next several years. Typically, newer facilities perform at the lower end of this range and demonstrate increasing utilization as they mature and the biogas resource increases at open landfills.

 

 

(3)

Utilization of Inlet Gas is measured as RNG Fuel Volume Produced divided by the Volume of Inlet Gas. Utilization of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on availability and efficiency of the facility and the quality of LFG (i.e., concentrations of methane, oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases) including the ramp up period for new projects. The Company generally expects Utilization of Inlet Gas to be in the range of 80% to 90%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

This release includes various financial measures that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe these measures provide important supplemental information to investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results. We use these measures, together with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”), for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations, that when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide, give a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We strongly encourage you to review all of our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not solely rely on any single non-GAAP financial measure.

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 like 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. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measure as indicators of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company’s presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. We strongly encourage you to review all of our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not solely rely on any single non-GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure that it calls adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). This non-GAAP financial measure adjusts net income for interest and financing expense, net, loss on debt extinguishment, net (income) loss attributable to non-redeemable non-controlling interests, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, adjustments to reflect Adjusted EBITDA from equity method investments, loss on warrant exchange, unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, non-cash charges, one-time non-recurring expenses, major maintenance on Renewable Power, gain on deconsolidation of VIEs, project development and startup costs, incremental virtual pipeline costs at Prince William RNG facility due to their temporary nature, and ITC proceeds, net of expenses.

Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information about the Company’s performance, for the following reasons: (1) it allows 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) the measure excludes 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; (3) the measure better aligns revenues with expenses; and (4) the measure is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s business. In future quarters, the Company may adjust 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.

The following table presents the reconciliation of our Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:
