Previous wording
The biodiesel segment was supported by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”). We generate 1.5 Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) for each gallon of biodiesel sold in the United States with a classification of a D4 or D6 RIN. RINs are used to monitor the level of renewable fuel traded in a given year in accordance with RFS within the EPA moderated transaction system. We do not assign cost of goods sold to the generation of RINs as the physical fuel generates the full cost. As of March 31, 2026, we held 0.2 million D4 RINs with a fair market value of $298. Comparatively, as of March 31, 2025, we held 2.3 million D4 RINs with a fair market value of $2,077.

Previous wording
On February 4, 2026, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service issued proposed regulations providing expanded guidance on the clean fuel production credit (“CFPC”) integrating changes from the Budget Reconciliation Act of 2025, which made modifications to the CFPC. The proposed rule is expected to help level the competitive environment for biodiesel by: (i) reducing the tax credit for sustainable aviation fuel from $1.75 per gallon to $1.00 per gallon effective January 1, 2026, and (ii) requiring that all feedstock be sourced from North America, as required for biomass-based diesel.

Previous wording
Biofuels revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by$4,147 compared to the prior-year period. Theupward trend was primarily attributed to enhanced clarity surrounding the CFPC and record-high final renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) levels.

Previous wording
A significant portion of our biodiesel sold was to one major customer in the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to no major customers in the three months ended March 31, 2025. No assurances can be given that we will continue to sell to such major refiner, or, if we do sell, the volume we will sell or the profit margin we will realize. We do not believe that the loss of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our biofuels segment or on us as a whole because: (i) we believe that we could readily sell our biodiesel to other customers on equivalent terms as potential demand from other customers for biodiesel exceeds our production capacity; (ii) our sales to these customers are not under fixed terms and the customers have no fixed obligation to purchase any minimum quantities except as stipulated by short-term purchase orders; and (iii) the prices we receive from these customers are based upon then-market rates, as would be the case with sales of this commodity to other customers.
Current wording
A significant portion of our biodiesel sold was to two major customers in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to three and two major customers in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. No assurances can be given that we will continue to sell to any such major refiner, or, if we do sell, the volume we will sell or the profit margin we will realize. We do not believe that the loss of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our biofuels segment or on us as a whole because: (i) we believe that we could readily sell our biodiesel to other customers on equivalent terms as potential demand from other customers for biodiesel exceeds our production capacity; (ii) our sales to these customers are not under fixed terms and the customers have no fixed obligation to purchase any minimum quantities except as stipulated by short-term purchase orders; and (iii) the prices we receive from these customers are based upon then-market rates, as would be the case with sales of this commodity to other customers.
Previous wording
Biofuel gross loss was $13,339 in the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of $4,166 compared to the same period in 2025. This increased loss was primarily driven by unfavorable shifts in derivative instruments activity. During the quarter, we recognized a realized loss of $9,141 and an unrealized loss of $2,488, compared to a realized gain of $93 and an unrealized loss of $259 in the prior-year period. While the $9,141 in derivative settlements significantly impacted the current quarter’s gross loss, these costs are generally intended to be recovered once the underlying physical product is sold. This timing difference often creates a temporary disconnect between realized derivative losses and the eventual revenue recognition of the physical inventory.
Current wording
Biofuel gross profit increased $23,594 and $19,428 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. These increases were primarily due to regulatory clarity which improved the segment on both volume and margin inclusive of clarified guidelines on the CFPC. During the quarter, this increase was also partially driven by favorable shifts in derivative instruments activity. In the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a realized loss of $1,383 and an unrealized gain of $3,223 compared to a realized gain of $77 and an unrealized gain of $540 in the prior-year period. While the $1,383 in derivative settlements impacted the current period’s gross profit, these costs are generally intended to be recovered once the underlying physical product is sold. This timing difference often creates a temporary disconnect between realized derivative losses and the eventual revenue recognition of the physical inventory. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, gross profit increases were partially offset by unfavorable shifts in derivative activity. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a realized loss of $10,523 and an unrealized gain of $735, compared to a realized gain of $170 and an unrealized gain of $281 in the prior year period.
