OPAL OPAL Fuels Inc

OPAL Fuels Inc. (“OPAL Fuels,” “OPAL” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL), a vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG), today announced financial and operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

• Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $102.3 million, an increase of 77%, or $44.5 million, compared to $57.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily a result of growth in the RNG Fuel segment.

• Consolidated net loss was $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to consolidated net income of $18.4 million in the prior year period. The prior year period net income included a one-time, non-cash gain of $19.8 million on the acquisition of the remaining interest in the Beacon projects.

• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting an increase of 29%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $11.7 million for the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by the RNG Fuel segment offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

• Sold 14.3 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) of transportation fuel of which 13.1 million GGEs were RNG, including RNG from third-party sources during the six months ended June 30, 2022. This represents growth of 64% for total transportation fuel sales over the 8.7 million GGEs sold during the first six months of 2021, and growth of 68% for RNG sales over the 7.8 million GGEs sold in the first half of 2021.

• In the Fuel Station Services Segment, OPAL Fuels delivered an aggregate 40.0 million GGEs at stations the Company operates for third parties under long term operations and maintenance agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, growing 13% over the 35.4 million GGEs delivered in the first half of 2021. Fuel Station Services construction revenues grew 150% to $23.3 million for the first six months of 2022 when compared to $9.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

• During the past nine months, the Sunoma, Noble Road, New River, and Pine Bend RNG projects commenced commercial operations. These projects have generated limited revenue as they only recently completed, or are still progressing through, the certification processes needed to generate environmental attributes.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of GAAP Net (Loss) Income to Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release. An explanation of this measure and how it is calculated is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Management commentary

Adam Comora, Co-CEO of OPAL Fuels, commented, “In the last nine months, we have continued to expand both our RNG production supply and our downstream dispensing capacity, bringing four RNG production facilities into commercial operation – now totaling six operating facilities with an aggregate total annual design capacity of 4,175,000 MMBtus.(2) All new RNG projects are required to complete months-long federal and state certification processes to generate environmental credits. As we complete these registrations and progress through production ramp-up periods, we expect revenues and Adjusted EBITDA contribution from these new projects to start to build over the balance of the year.”

Jonathan Maurer, Co-CEO of OPAL Fuels, stated, “We continue to execute on our growth plan. In addition to our six RNG projects in operation, we currently have six more projects in construction. We remain focused on driving forward development of our existing project portfolio, while also pursuing additional project opportunities for growth.”

Recent developments

• Closed the previously announced business combination between OPAL Fuels LLC and ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II on July 21, 2022, to form OPAL Fuels Inc. Shares of OPAL Fuels Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OPAL” on July 22, 2022.

• After giving effect to the business combination and related transactions, OPAL Fuels’ consolidated cash and cash equivalents was approximately $228 million, including restricted cash of $2.8 million, as of August 1, 2022.

• On August 4, 2022, OPAL Fuels entered into an additional $105 million senior secured debt facility with a syndicate of lenders. The proceeds from this debt facility will be used to fund a portfolio of RNG projects currently in, or going into, construction.

• The Pine Bend RNG project, a 50/50 partnership with an affiliate of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, located in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, commenced commercial operations in July 2022. The Pine Bend project has a design capacity of 775 MMBtus of RNG per year (2).

• On July 19, 2022, the construction loan for the Sunoma RNG project, located in Gila Bend, Arizona, was converted into a permanent loan and the committed funding increased from $20.0 million to $23.0 million.

(2) Design capacity may not reflect actual production of RNG from the projects, which will depend on many variables including, but not limited to, quantity and quality of the biogas, operational up-time of the facility, and actual productivity of the facility.

Segment Revenues

RNG Fuel

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, RNG Fuel revenues were $50.8 million, an increase of $31.6 million, or 165%, compared to $19.2 million in the prior year period. This change was attributable primarily to a $22.0 million increase from acquiring the remaining 56% interest in Beacon. Beacon was accounted for as an equity method investment for the period between January 1 to April 30, 2021. There was an increase of $6.8 million from the sale of environmental credits coupled with an increase of $1.4 million in fuel dispensing from higher volumes due to five new sites.

Fuel Station Services

Fuel Station Services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of $32.3 million reflected an increase of $15.1 million, or 88%, compared to $17.2 million in the prior year period. This change was primarily attributable to an increase of $12.8 million in construction revenues from additional projects and an increase of $2.6 million from incremental service volumes from the addition of 16 new fueling service sites.

Renewable Power

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Renewable Power revenues of $19.2 million decreased $2.3 million, or 11%, compared to $21.4 million for the prior period. This change was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.9 million from lower gas production related to the conversion of a facility from Renewable Power to RNG. Additionally, there was a decrease of $1.0 million due to unplanned maintenance at two facilities, offset by a $1.0 million improvement in the unrealized loss on commodity swaps.

Capital Investments

Consolidated cash used in investing activities increased 88.9% to $54.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $28.8 million in the prior year period. Of the total consolidated cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, $52.3 million is related to the development and construction of the Company’s RNG project portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure that it calls adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). This non-GAAP Measure adjusts net (loss) income attributable to OPAL Fuels LLC for realized and unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs, other non-cash charges, major maintenance for renewable power, unrealized loss for commodity swaps, paid in kind preferred dividends and gain on equity method investments. Management believes this non-GAAP 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; and (3) 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.

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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income 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 Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

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