Product revenue. Product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $7.4 million to $83.0 million, representing 84.7% of total revenue, compared to $75.6 million, representing 83.5% of total revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to (1) increased volumes of vehicle fueling at our stations and increased bulk fuel sales into the marine sector, with partial offsets due to lower underlying natural gas commodity costs, lower volumes of RNG fuel sold outside our station network in the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $0.2 million in non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges relating to the Amazon Warrant driven by higher customer fuel purchases, resulting in a $4.1 million net increase in fuel sales from the prior year period. Additionally, (2) an increase in RIN revenue of $4.1 million principally attributable to higher average RIN prices, (3) an increase in LCFS revenue of $2.0 million primarily due to greater number of LCFS credits being transacted in the second quarter of 2024 combined with a greater mix of low carbon intensity RNG from dairies, partially offset by lower LCFS credit prices in the second quarter of 2024, and (4) an increase in AFTC revenue of $0.9 million in part due to higher bulk fuel sales into the

East Valley Dairy Farm Bankruptcy. In April 2024, the dairy farm partner to an ADG RNG production project located in East Valley, Idaho that is currently under construction by the 50-50 joint venture between us and BP Products North American Inc. (the “bpJV”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Idaho. The bpJV is party to contracts with the dairy farm partner to lease land and to receive manure feedstock for the ADG RNG production facility currently in construction. The Company is gathering facts, closely monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings, and assessing possible future developments and alternatives. At present, substantial uncertainty exists and a wide range of potential outcomes are possible, from continuing to construct and operate the project as

North American Inc. (the “bpJV”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Idaho. The bpJV is party to contracts with the dairy farm partner to lease land and to receive manure feedstock for the ADG RNG production facility currently in construction. The Company is gathering facts, closely monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings, and assessing possible future developments and alternatives. At present, substantial uncertainty exists and a wide range of potential outcomes are possible, from continuing to construct and operate the project as contemplated prior to the bankruptcy proceedings to taking a loss of a substantial part of our investment due to the outcome of the proceedings. In light of this situation, the bpJV has taken steps to vigorously protect its interests in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings and is considering adjusting its capital expenditure schedule for the project, delaying certain expenditures to the extent permitted by the applicable contracts, until more clarity develops.

The market for our vehicle fuels is a relatively new and developing market, and has experienced slow, volatile or unpredictable growth in many sectors. For example, to date, adoption and deployment of natural gas vehicles, both in general and in certain of our key customer markets, including heavy-duty trucking, have been slower than we anticipated. Slower growth may occur due to unfavorable macroeconomic events such as inflationary pressures, lingering or reoccurring pandemic effects, supply chain challenges, or other events.

Previous wording

Market prices for RINs and LCFS Credits can be volatile and unpredictable, and the prices for such credits can be subject to significant fluctuations. The value of RINs and LCFS Credits (derived from market prices) can materially affect our revenue. Prices have fluctuated significantly during 2021, 2022 and 2023 and will likely continue to be volatile. Further, LCFS Credit prices have fluctuated significantly during 2022 and 2023 and will likely continue to be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile and unpredictable. If a decline of our market capitalization were sustained, we may need to perform goodwill impairment tests more frequently and it is possible that our goodwill could become impaired, which could result in material non-cash charges and adversely affect our results of operations.

Current wording

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile and unpredictable. If a decline of our market capitalization were sustained, we may need to perform, and have in the past performed, goodwill impairment tests more frequently and it is possible that our goodwill could become impaired, which could result in material non-cash charges and adversely affect our results of operations.

Previous wording

Due to a decline in the market price of our common stock subsequent to December 31, 2023, we performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2024 for our single reporting unit as described above, which resulted in a fair value, based on its market value of invested capital plus a market participant acquisition premium, that exceeded carrying value by 7% or $70.0 million. Although, subsequent to March 31, 2024, there has been further declines in the market price of our common stock and in our market capitalization, we have not deemed that such decline will be sustained nor have we identified other events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit to below its carrying value on a sustained basis. As such, we believe the reporting unit’s goodwill as of March 31, 2024 was not impaired. It is possible that our goodwill could become impaired if we determine in a subsequent period that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying amount on a sustained basis, which could result in a material charge and adversely affect our results of operations.

Current wording

Due to a decline in the market price of our common stock subsequent to December 31, 2023, we performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2024 for our single reporting unit as described above, which resulted in a fair value, based on its market value of invested capital plus a market participant acquisition premium, that exceeded carrying value by 6% or $59.4 million. Although, subsequent to June 30, 2024, there have been further declines in the market price of our common stock and in our market capitalization, we have not deemed that such declines will be sustained nor have we identified other events or circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting unit to below its carrying value on a sustained basis. As such, we believe the reporting unit’s goodwill as of June 30, 2024 was not impaired. It is possible that our goodwill could become impaired if we determine in a subsequent period that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying amount on a sustained basis, which could result in a material charge and adversely affect our results of operations.

Previous wording

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events that could result in an impairment review include, among others, a significant decrease in the operating performance of a long-lived asset or asset group or the decision to close a fueling station. Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, if any, to be recognized. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. The fair value of the asset or asset group is based on estimated discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. The estimate of future cash flows requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future sales and expenses and estimating useful lives of the assets. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors, including, among others, future results, demand and economic conditions, many of which can be difficult to predict.
