VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2024-- EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (“EverGen” or the “Company”) (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), today reported financial results as at and for Q2 2024. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Financial and Operational Summary:

⁽¹⁾ Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures”.

Financial Highlights

• Revenues of $4.2 million for Q2 2024 increased by 96% from $2.2 million for Q2 2023, primarily due to record RNG production and associated revenues from the completion and successful post commissioning operation of the FVB RNG project in December 2023 and the commencement of RNG production at Grow the Circle Energy Ltd. (“GrowTEC”) in late Q2 2023.
• Net loss of $0.9 million for Q2 2024 was consistent with Q2 2023 despite the inclusion of additional carrying costs of engineering related overhead due to the completion of FVB.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 million for Q2 2024 increased from $0.4 million in Q2 2023, due to an increase in revenues, partially offset by an increase in direct operating costs commensurate with increased RNG production and recurring general and administrative expenses.

“The second quarter demonstrated continued revenue growth across the EverGen platform” said EverGen CEO, Mischa Zajtmann. “With the FVB facility proven in operation approaching full capacity and major strides in our development pipeline, we are well positioned for significant, sustained growth as we continue to scale our operations and lead in the renewable energy space.”

Non-GAAP Measures

EverGen uses certain financial measures referred to in this press release to quantify its results that are not prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. The terms EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and working capital are not recognized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. EverGen believes that, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, these non-GAAP measurements provide useful information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash, profitability and meet financial commitments. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for share-based payment expenses, unusual or non-recurring items, contingent consideration gains and losses and non-controlling interests in adjusted EBITDA. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
