Other expenses consist primarily of interest and amortization expense on debt and accretion of the liability to redeem Biogas Series A Preferred Units. Debt related fees and amortization expense include amortization of debt extension fees and debt discounts of warrants issued in connection with debt renewals. The fair value of warrants issued is recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. Debt related fees and amortization expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2026, as a result of a significant portion of the Company’s debt becoming due on demand during 2026. Accretion expense decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as a result of the PUPA Thirteenth Amendment discussed inNote 11 - Aemetis Biogas LLC – Series A Preferred Financing, which resulted in a lower interest rate on the credit agreement. Interest rate expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, due to higher variable interest rates and higher debt balances.

Our California Ethanol segment consists of a 65 million gallon per year capacity ethanol production facility located in Keyes, California (the “Keyes Plant”) that we own and operate. In addition to low carbon renewable fuel ethanol, the Keyes Plant produces alcohol for other uses, Wet Distillers Grains (“WDG”), Distillers Corn Oil (“DCO”), and Condensed Distillers Solubles (“CDS”). WDG, DCO, and CDS are sold as animal feed to more than 80 local dairies and feedlots. A portion of our DCO is sold as feedstock for other renewable fuels plants. We also capture the Carbon Dioxide (“CO 2”) generated by our fermenters and sell it to an industrial gas company that liquifies the CO₂ to sell to food, beverage, and industrial customers. We are implementing energy efficiency initiatives focused on lowering the carbon intensity (“CI”) of our ethanol, primarily by decreasing the use of fossil natural gas. Recently completed energy efficiency projects include high efficiency heat exchangers and a solar micro grid. A significant energy efficiency project in progress is the Mechanical Vapor Recompression (“MVR”) system that will use low carbon electricity instead of natural gas. These changes will reduce our energy costs, lower the CI of the ethanol we produce, and generate increased cash flows from California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) and tax credits. We have already begun installing MVR equipment and expect the system to be operational in 2026.

Our California Dairy Renewable Natural Gas segment operates anaerobic digesters at local dairies near the Keyes Plant (many of whom also purchase WDG produced by the Keyes Plant as animal feed) to produce biogas from dairy waste, transports the biogas by pipeline to the Keyes Plant site, and converts the biogas to Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) that is delivered to customers through the utility natural gas pipeline. We currently operate twelve digesters that produce biogas from manure waste received from fifteen dairies, and we are actively growing with additional digesters under construction. We have constructed 36 miles of biogas collection pipeline and have received environmental approval to construct an additional 24 miles of pipeline. We currently have agreements to build digesters and receive waste from over 50 dairies and are seeking to sign agreements with additional dairies.

*India Biodiesel.*In 2025 and 2026, all our India sales of biodiesel were to government owned Oil Marketing Companies ("OMCs") pursuant to the OMC tender and allocation process. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we generated 56% of our India segment revenues from the sale of biodiesel and 44% from other sales. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to OMC contracts not received during the second quarter of 2026 and Palm Fatty Acid Distillate ("PFAD") sales that occurred during the second quarter of 2025, but not during the same period in 2026. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales of refined glycerin. We sold 1.4 thousand metric tons of biodi esel at an average sales price of $1,038 per metric ton during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 9.4 thousand metric tons of biodiesel at an average sales price of $1,010 per metric ton during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to delays in receiving OMC tender contracts during the second quarter of 2026. Shipments under the contract commenced during the third quarter of 2026 and remained ongoing as of period end. We sold 6.6 thousand metric tons of biodi esel at an average sales price of $1,108 per metric ton during the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 12.5 thousand metric tons of biodiesel at an average sales price of $1,112 per metric ton during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
