Current report

AleAnna is a natural gas resource developer focused on delivering critical natural gas supplies to Europe through both onshore conventional natural gas exploration and renewable natural gas development in Italy. We have several conventional natural gas discoveries including the Longanesi field, located in the Po Valley in Northern Italy, which is one of Italy’s largest modern gas discoveries. We retain a 33.5% working interest in the Longanesi field with our working interest partner, and operator, Padana. We acquired our working interest in the Longanesi field through a 2016 transaction with Enel. We also retain wholly owned concessions, permits, and pending applications on other exploration and development prospects across Italy which are supported by proprietary modern 3D seismic imaging. In 2021, we launched a renewable natural gas development business focused on bringing to market carbon-negative renewable natural gas derived from animal and agricultural waste.

Current report

As of March 31, 2025, although we had generated revenue from electricity sales from two renewable natural gas assets, we had not yet recognized any revenue from our conventional natural gas business. Our recent activities involve the drilling and testing of three Longanesi development wells (during 2022 and 2023) as well as the re-completion of two original discovery wells. We had no drilling activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. We had no other exploratory or development drilling during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. Our Longanesi, Trava and Gradizza discoveries were classified by DeGolyer and MacNaughton as proved undeveloped reserves as such wells had not yet started production as of December 31, 2024 and require future investments to install production facilities prior to being fully completed and producible.

Current report

While the tie-in of the Longanesi development wells and the installation of a temporary processing facility were complete as of March 31, 2025, production activities remained on hold due to a plant testing and stabilization program and were not yet at a stage to result in recognized revenue for the quarter. Sales began in May 2025. A permanent processing facility is expected to be constructed over the remainder of 2025 and early 2026 and commissioned in mid-2026.

Current report

The Transactions

Current report

On December 13, 2024, we consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, dated June 4, 2024, by and among Swiftmerge, HoldCo, Swiftmerge Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo, and AleAnna Energy. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on December 13, 2024, SPAC migrated to and domesticated as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and changed its name to AleAnna, Inc. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”

Current report

The Business Combination was accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to AleAnna Energy which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. This conclusion was based on the fact that Nautilus Resources LLC (“Nautilus”) had a controlling financial interest in AleAnna Energy prior to the Business Combination and has a controlling financial interest in AleAnna, which includes AleAnna Energy as a wholly owned subsidiary. The net assets of SPAC are stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Business Combination with respect to AleAnna Energy was not treated as a change in control primarily due to Nautilus receiving the controlling voting stake in AleAnna and the ability of Nautilus to nominate the full board of directors and management of AleAnna.

Current report

Under a reverse recapitalization, SPAC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of AleAnna Energy issuing stock for the net assets of SPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Current report

We incurred $9.5 million in transaction costs related to the Business Combination. Approximately $0.6 million of these costs were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital, up to the amount of cash proceeds received in the transaction. Of the remaining $8.9 million, approximately $0.5 million represented prepaid directors and officers insurance premiums that were recorded to other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, and $8.4 million represented legal, accounting, consulting and advisory fees which were recorded as Business Combination transaction expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Current report

First Production at Longanesi

Current report

On March 13, 2025, AleAnna achieved a key milestone with the first production from its five wells in the Longanesi field. However, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had not recognized revenue from its conventional natural gas activities. While the tie-in of the Longanesi development wells and the installation of a temporary processing facility were complete as of March 31, 2025, production activities remained on hold due to a plant testing and stabilization program and were not yet at a stage to result in recognized revenue for the quarter. Sales began in May 2025.

Current report

In connection with Longanesi start-up, AleAnna will be required to reserve $3.1 million related to the contingent consideration liability due to Enel via a bank guarantee. Any cash deposits required to secure this bank guarantee will be classified as restricted cash in future balance sheets and may be used to satisfy the contingent consideration liability as payments become due.

Current report

Gas Sale Agreement

Current report

On October 29, 2024, we entered into a gas sale agreement (“GSA”) with Shell Energy Europe Limited (“SEEL”), whereby SEEL became the exclusive buyer of our share of the natural gas produced from the Longanesi field net of (i) any consumption and/or losses incurred in the transport, treatment and compression of gas before delivery; (ii) any volume to be allocated for regulated royalties auctions, if applicable; and (iii) any other volume contractually allocated to other parties before August 31, 2022. Future sales under the GSA are contingent upon the commencement of gas production.

Key Factors Affecting our Performance, Prospects and Future Results

Current report

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including competition from other carbon-based and non-carbon-based fuel producers, regulatory hurdles posed by the Italian government, and other factors discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors”in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. We believe the factors described below are key to our success.

Current report

Achieving First Production at Longanesi

Current report

As previously discussed, we and Padana achieved first production of the five wells in the Longanesi field in March 2025 through use of a temporary processing facility. The permanent processing facility is expected to be constructed over the remainder of 2025 and early 2026 and commissioned mid-2026.

Current report

We believe our achieving first production of the Longanesi field is a key milestone that will fuel our potential growth. We also have potentially viable discoveries in our Gradizza and Trava fields that are expected to achieve first production in the future.

Current report

Commencing and Expanding Renewable Natural Gas Operations

Current report

In 2021, we launched a renewable natural gas development business focused on bringing to market carbon negative renewable natural gas derived from animal and agricultural waste. The first three renewable natural gas assets were purchased between March 2024 and July 2024, with additional renewable natural gas projects expected to be purchased in the future.

Current report

We believe expanding the renewable natural gas business is another key to our potential growth and may unlock potential partnership or joint venture opportunities.

Current report

Key Components of Results of Operations

Current report

We are an early-stage company, and our historical results may not be indicative of our future results. Accordingly, the drivers of our future financial results, as well as the components of such results, may not be comparable to our historical results of operations or our future results of operations.

Current report

Revenue

Current report

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated approximately $0.6 million of revenue from electricity sales at two renewable natural gas assets acquired in July 2024 (the “Casalino” and “Campopiano” plants). The plant assets are fully permitted for production of electricity through conversion of crop and animal waste bio feedstocks. The plant assets are currently biomethane to electricity conversion assets. It is our intention to begin upgrading the sites to refine biomethane into renewable natural gas through upgrading units. Following the upgrade process to transition the assets to biomethane to renewable natural gas conversion, we expect to sell renewable natural gas to customer(s) by trucking or piping the renewable natural gas to the interstate pipeline system (SNAM). Until the plant assets are upgraded, we will actively source bio feedstocks for the assets to produce biomethane which will be processed through reciprocating generators in order to generate electricity. The electricity is then sold onto the grid through a metered interconnection. Casalino and Campopiano derive revenues from the sale of such electricity to the local state-owned electrical utility (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici SpA or “GSE”). Energy generation revenue is recognized as the electricity generated by the Casalino and Campopiano assets is delivered to GSE. Revenues are based on actual output and “on-the-spot” predetermined prices for small renewable energy producers.

Current report

In addition to sales of renewable natural gas, we expect to generate a significant portion of our future revenue from the sale of conventional natural gas.

Current report

Expenses

Current report

General and Administrative (G&A) Expense

Current report

G&A expenses consist of compensation costs for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, and other administrative functions. G&A expenses also include legal fees, professional fees paid for accounting, auditing and consulting services, and insurance costs. As a newly public company, we expect that we will incur higher G&A expenses for public company costs such as compliance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Current report

Income Tax Effects

Current report

AleAnna’s income tax consequences have been reflected in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 740,Income Taxes. Given AleAnna’s history of losses, and because future production remains uncertain, a full valuation allowance was applied against deferred tax assets and no income tax liabilities or expenses were recognized as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Current report

We are also subject to a Valued-Added Tax (“VAT”) which is a broadly-based consumption tax that is assessed to the value that is added to goods and services. The VAT applies to nearly all goods and services that are bought and sold within the EU. Italian law allows for certain VAT payments to be recovered through ongoing applications for refunds. We have incurred higher VAT input paid (i.e., VAT paid on purchases) than the VAT output collected (i.e., VAT collected on sales), resulting in a net VAT refund receivable. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had VAT receivables of $6.6 million, and $6.8 million, respectively.

Current report

Operations

Current report

Our net losses were $3.3 million and $114.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $193.1 million and $191.0 million, respectively. The majority of these losses stem from costs associated with the Longanesi field drilling and development, including asset impairments from previous years, as well as seismic imaging, exploratory costs for other conventional natural gas prospects, and general and administrative expenses. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the accumulated deficits also include historical deemed dividends to the redemption value of AleAnna Energy’s previous Class 1 Preferred Units (exchanged for Class A and Class C common stock in connection with the Business Combination) based on the redemption features of those units and the related accounting requirements.See“Note 10 — Equity” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our operations, exploration, and development activities, including pre-commercialization efforts as we continue our development of, and seek regulatory approval for, our discoveries and exploration prospects. Since inception, we have incurred net losses annually and do not expect to achieve sustained profitability until the second half of 2025.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

Current report

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, all of our revenue was earned through electricity generation and sales at the Casalino and Campopiano renewable natural gas plants that were purchased in July 2024. Cost of revenues consists of feedstock costs, direct labor and overhead necessary to produce RNG and generate electricity. All cost of revenues was related to the RNG assets that were purchased in 2024.

Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Previous report

We are a blank check company incorporated on February 3, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (our “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to banks or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

Previous report

Our registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 14, 2021. On December 17, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (the “units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $200 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $12.6 million, of which approximately $7 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. On January 18, 2022, the underwriter partially exercised its Over-Allotment Option, resulting in 2,500,000 additional units being sold at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $25 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement of 8,600,000 Private Placement Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor and the Anchor Investors, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.6 million. On January 18, 2022, following the underwriter’s exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor purchased from the company an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the private placement and the Over-Allotment Option, approximately $227.2 million of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the private placement were placed in the Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. If we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination by June 17, 2025 we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, su…

Excerpt shortened here; the source contains the full paragraph.

Previous report

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the period from February 3, 2021 (inception) to September 30, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, as described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held after the Initial Public Offering. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as due diligence expenses.

Previous report

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $9,520 and a working capital deficit of $4,208,803.

Previous report

Our liquidity needs up to September 30, 2024 had been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, a loan under the Promissory Note from our Sponsor of $149,172, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the private placement not held in the Trust Account. The Promissory Note was repaid in full on December 21, 2021. On May 19, 2023, the Sponsor provided a $200,000 Advance to the Company. On September 15, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) with the Sponsor of up to $500,000 in the aggregate for costs and expenses reasonably related to the Company’s working capital needs prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and the Advance was converted into the first proceeds on the Note. This note was subsequently amended for a principal balance of $600,000 in November 2023, an additional $85,000 in April 2024, and an additional $26,000 in May 2024. The Company received an additional $295,000 from Sponsor in August 2024. The Note is non-interest bearing and is due the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the date of liquidation. The Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. As of September 30, 2024, the balance under the Note was $1,006,000. As of September 30, 2024, the Sponsor did not elect to convert any of the principal to warrants. We expect that the estimated shortfall in cash in the Company’s operating account that is needed to fund the Company’s operations through the closing of the Business Combination is approximately $366,000, and the Company expects the Sponsor will make an additional loan to the Company to make up for this shortfall. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, our officers, directors and initial shareholders may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company with working capital loans. To date, there are no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities of $10,719,822 due to payments to redeeming share holders of $11,325,822, partially offset by cash inflow from related party promissory note of $406,000, and proceeds from related party loans of $200,000.

Previous report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities of $211,518,104 due to payments to redeeming share holders of $211,918,104, partially offset by cash inflow from related party promissory note of $400,000.

Previous report

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $9,520 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. Management plans to address liquidity uncertainty through a Business Combination or extension as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination or extension will be successful. While management expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary, there is no current confirmed financing commitment, and no assurance can be provided that such additional financing will become available to the Company.

Previous report

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, such loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that we do not consummate an initial Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. To date, there were no amounts outstanding under any of these loans.

Previous report

Based on the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination or extension as discussed above. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination or extension will be successful. While management expects to have sufficient access to additional sources of capital if necessary, there is no current confirmed financing commitment, and no assurance can be provided that such additional financing will become available to the Company.

Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement

Previous report

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of the working capital loans) have registration and shareholder rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on the date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Promissory Note - Related Party

Previous report

On May 19, 2023, the Sponsor provided a $200,000 advance to the Company. On September 15, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note with the Sponsor of up to $500,000 in the aggregate for costs and expenses reasonably related to the Company’s working capital needs prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and the Advance was converted into the first proceeds on the Note. The note was subsequently amended for a principal balance of $600,000 in November 2023 and for an additional $85,000 in April 2024. The Note is non-interest bearing and is due the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the date of liquidation. At anytime, at the option of the Sponsor. the Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Also, there was an additional draw in May 2024 for $26,000, and $295,000 in August 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the balance under the Note was $1,006,000.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Previous report

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates:

Previous report

Warrant Classification

Previous report

The Company accounts for the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as equity.

Previous report

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Previous report

All of the 22,500,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering (and including the Units sold in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Class A ordinary shares have been classified outside of permanent equity.

Previous report

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The redemption value of the redeemable ordinary shares as of September 30, 2024 increased as the income earned on the Trust Account exceeds the Company’s expected dissolution expenses (up to $100,000). As such, the Company recorded an increase in the carrying amount of the redeemable ordinary shares of $663,121 as of September 30, 2024.

Recent Accounting Standards

Previous report

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
