Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OPAL Fuels, Inc. and its subsidiaries(the “Company”, “OPAL Fuels”, “we,” “us” or “our”) and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. In addition, we have consolidated the financial results of jointly owned affiliated companies in which our principal stockholder or other entities have a noncontrolling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The non-controlling interest attributable to the Company's variable interest entities ("VIE") are presented as a separate component from the Stockholders' (deficit) equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as a non-redeemable non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in redeemable non-controlling interests, redeemable preferred non-controlling interests and stockholders' equity (deficit).

As of June 30, 2025, the Company held equity interests intwelve VIEs — Pine Bend RNG LLC ("Pine Bend"), Noble Road RNG LLC ("Noble Road"), Paragon RNG LLC ("Paragon"), Emerald RNG LLC ("Emerald") - Paragon project, Sapphire RNG LLC ("Sapphire") - Paragon project, Land2Gas LLC ("Land2Gas"), Atlantic RNG LLC ("Atlantic") - Land2Gas project , Burlington RNG LLC ("Burlington") - Land2Gas project, GREP BTB Holdings LLC ("GREP"), Sunoma Holdings, LLC (“Sunoma”), Central Valley LLC (“Central Valley”), and CMS RNG LLC ("CMS"). Pine Bend, Noble Road GREP, Paragon projects, Land2Gas projects were presented as equity method investments and the remaining three VIEs — Sunoma, Central Valley, and CMS are consolidated by the Company.

On May 9, 2025, the Company acquired a variable interest in CMS, a joint venture formed with a third party to develop, construct, own, and operate a renewable natural gas facility. The Company holds a 70% membership interest in CMS RNG, and the remaining 30% is held by the third-party partner.

Based on an evaluation under ASC 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"), management determined that CMS RNG is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. This conclusion is based on the Company’s power to direct the activities that most significantly impact CMS RNG’s economic performance and its exposure to the entity’s residual returns. As a result, CMS RNG has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements beginning in the second quarter of 2025.

At the time of formation, the Company and the third-party partner made net capital contributions of $4,646 and $1,998, respectively. A noncontrolling interest ("NCI") of $1,998 was recognized for the portion of CMS RNG not owned by the Company.

The Company will reassess its primary beneficiary conclusion on an ongoing basis, including upon execution of additional agreements and commencement of commercial operations.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets summarize the major consolidated balance sheet items for consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The information is presented on an aggregate basis based on similar risk and reward characteristics and the nature of our involvement with the VIEs, such as:

All of the VIEs are RNG facilities and they are reported under the RNG Fuel Supply segment;

The nature of our interest in these entities is primarily equity based and therefore carry similar risk and reward characteristics.

The 2024 year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The interim financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report") as the interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual financial statements and are condensed in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The Company is organized into three operating segments based on the characteristics and the nature of products and services. Thethree operating segments are RNG Fuel, Fuel Station Services and Renewable Power.

All amounts in these footnotes are presented in thousands of dollars except share and per share data.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company include the residual value of the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of stock-based compensation, asset retirement obligations, percentage completion for revenue recognition, incremental borrowing rate for calculating the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities, the impairment assessment of goodwill and the fair value of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

The Company provides all third-party construction contracts with a warranty, typically for a period of one year after substantial completion of the construction project. These warranties are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees ("ASC 460"), and not as a separate performance obligation. Generally, the company estimates warranty costs based on historical claims experience, and other factors. Actual warranty claims may differ from the estimates, and adjustments to the liability are made as necessary. The Company accrued $219 and $171 of warranty reserves under accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Related Party Revenues

The Company revised its disclosure of Fuel Station Services revenues from related parties included parenthetically on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations to include amounts that were previously excluded. The amounts are immaterial and the revision had no impact on previously reported net income, cash flows, or financial position.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-05, Business Combinations- Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60) ("ASU 2023-05"). The update requires all joint ventures formed after January 1, 2025, upon formation, to apply a new basis of accounting and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. During the six months ended June 2025, the Company formed a joint venture that was excluded from this guidance due to the scope exception applicable to combinations between entities, businesses, or nonprofit activities under common control. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional, disaggregated disclosure about certain income statement line items. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and is required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Credit Agreement Amendment makes certain changes to the applicability of certain financial covenants and modifies other covenants to clarify the use of loan proceeds. Additionally, the Credit Agreement Amendment permits the organizational restructuring of the Guarantors in a manner designed to facilitate the sale of federal investment tax credits and the ability to raise additional future capital.

The Credit Agreement Amendment also eases the conditions precedent to making new Projects eligible for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, extends the availability period for delay draw term loans under the Credit Agreement through March 5, 2026, and extends the commencement of repayment of such term loans until March 31, 2026.

In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Borrower paid the Administrative Agent, for the account of each lender, a one-time nonrefundable fee of $1,250. These costs have been recorded as a direct reduction against the debt and amortized over the life of the associated debt as a component of interest expense using the effective interest method.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company drew an additional $40,000 under its term loan and repaid $15,000 on its revolving loan. As of June 30, 2025, the Company utilized $14,517 of availability under the revolver loan to provide for the issuance of letters of credit to support the operations of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

  1. Leases

Lessor contracts

Fuel provider agreements

Fuel provider agreements ("FPAs") are for the sale of brown gas, service and maintenance of sites. The Company is contracted to design and build a Fueling Station on the customer's property in exchange for the Company providing CNG/RNG to the customer for a determined number of years. We have determined that the FPAs contain a lease component for the use of the Fueling Station in addition to the non-lease components related to providing CNG/RNG as well as providing all-inclusive maintenance and warranty services.

Included in Fuel Station Service revenues are $2,619 and $4,804 related to the lease portion of the FPAs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $935 and $1,707 related to the lease portion of the FPAs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company allocated the contract consideration between the lease component and non-lease components on a relative standalone selling price basis.

Power purchase agreements

Power purchase agreements ("PPAs") are for the sale of electricity generated at our Renewable Power facilities. All of our Renewable Power facilities operate under fixed pricing or indexed pricing based on market prices. Two of our Renewable Power facilities transfer the right to control the use of the power plant to the purchaser and are therefore classified as operating leases.

Included in Renewable Power revenues are $391 and $647 related to the lease element of the PPAs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. It includes $210 and $429 related to the lease element of the PPAs for the three and six ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Lessee contracts

The ROU asset had a carrying value of approximately $5,397 at the time of termination. The derecognition resulted in $600 gain recognized in other income.

  1. Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Interest rate swaps

The Company records the fair value of the interest rate swap as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. This instrument is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of the swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company expects to release $153 from the other comprehensive income in the next twelve months.

The location and amounts of interest rate swaps and their fair values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are:

Commodity swap contracts

In February 2025, the Company entered into a power purchase and sale agreement with NextEra Energy Marketing, LLC (together with its affiliates, "NextEra") for sale of electricity over the period from March through December 2025, with a fixed contract price. The forward contract is expected to be settled by physical delivery of electricity on a monthly basis. The Company elected the normal purchase normal sale exclusion and will not apply fair value accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, ("ASC 815").

Additionally, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company entered into multiple ISDA agreements with JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch, and Investec Bank for pay-variable, receive-fixed, cash-settled natural gas commodity swaps. The Company applied fair value accounting under ASC 815 for these transactions.

Fair value measurements

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.

The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt, which are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, of $321,326 and $297,624 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, approximates its fair value because our interest rate is variable and reflects current market rates.

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company estimated the fair value of its asset retirement obligations based on discount rates ranging from 5.8% to 8.5%.

The fair value of the Sponsor Earnout Awards as of June 30, 2025 was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model with a distribution of potential outcomes on a daily basis over the 2.0 years remaining in the vesting window. Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:

Current stock price — The Company's closing stock price of $2.42 as of June 30, 2025;

Expected volatility —50% based on historical and implied volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the awards;

Risk-free interest rate —3.7% based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected 2.0 year term of the earnout period;

Dividend yield -zero.

Convertible note receivable

In July 2024, the Company purchased a convertible note pursuant to which the Company has the right to convert the note into shares of Class A common stock of the investee. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the convertible note was equal to $1,575 and presented within prepaid expense and other current assets.

There were no transfers of assets between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025.

The Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

Related parties are represented by Fortistar and other affiliates, subsidiaries, entities under common control with Fortistar or NextEra, and equity method investments.

Sale of redeemable preferred non-controlling interests to related parties

On November 29, 2021, NextEra subscribed for up to 1,000,000 Series A preferred units, which were issuable (in whole or in increments) at the Company’s discretion prior to June 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had drawn $100,000 and issued 1,000,000 Series A preferred units. Please see Note 8. Redeemable non-controlling interests, Redeemable preferred non-controlling interests and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), for the dividends paid and additional information.

Purchase and sale agreement for environmental attributes

In January 2025, the EPA implemented a new framework in which (1) RNG producers are eligible to claim a “K-1”RINs on their volumes of RNG produced, and (2) dispensers are eligible to claim “K-2” RINs on natural gas volumes dispensed as truck fuel, provided they also have a corresponding K-1 RIN to demonstrate the renewable sourcing of gas. The creation of distinct “K-1” and “K-2” RINs creates flexibility for RNG producers to generate and sell K-1 RINs to dispensers independent of the K-2 registration process or dispensing activities. K-1 RINs are only useful for the purpose of registering a K-2 RIN, and K-2 RINs are used to record the environmental offset (similar to a traditional RIN). The introduction of K-1 and K-2 RINs gives rise to a new form of commercial transaction for Opal that is distinct from previous RIN minting arrangements.

On March 26, 2025, the Company entered into a NAESB Base Contract with NextEra (together with certain special conditions, a letter agreement, and an RNG addendum, the "NAESB Contract"). In accordance with the NAESB Contract, the Company could enter into transaction confirmations on a periodic basis for the sale of RNG generated by the RNG Fuels business and NextEra could elect to utilize the Company to market such RNG to generate RINs for NextEra. In March and June 2025, the Company and NextEra entered into such transaction confirmations.

The Company concluded that production and dispensing services represent separate performance obligations. Control over K-1 RINs transfers at the time of gas generation or upon delivery of the RINs. Revenue is recognized at the time control is transferred. The consideration associated with dispensing services is recognized into revenue by the Company when it satisfies its performance obligation by pairing the paperwork associated with the dispensing.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $5,586 and $10,603, respectively, under the NAESB contract, which were recorded as part of Revenues - RNG Fuel.

Service agreements with related parties

On March 17, 2025, Fortistar, through its subsidiary Wasatch RNG LLC (“Wasatch RNG”), acquired all of the limited liability company interests outstanding in Alpro SD, LLC (“Alpro” and such acquired interest, the “Alpro Interest”). Alpro owns a 50% limited liability company interest in Wasatch Resource Recovery, LLC (the “Project” or “Wasatch” and such ownership interest, the “Wasatch Interest”) and a 50% tenancy-in-common interest in certain real estate and operating assets used by Wasatch (the “Project Interest”). The Project captures and converts biogas generated from food waste to produce pipeline quality renewable natural gas (RNG). The Project generates revenue from long-term contracted gas sales, tipping fees, and digestate (fertilizer) sales.

In connection with the acquisition, Fortistar Services 2 LLC and OPAL Fuels LLC entered into an amendment to its existing Administrative Services Agreement, pursuant to which OPAL Fuels will provide certain services to Wasatch RNG in exchange for certain agreed upon fees and expense reimbursements. These services include oversight of the plan to improve the operations and productivity of the Project. Either party may, at its sole election and on ninety (90) days advance written notice, terminate Company's provision of services to Wasatch Resource Recovery LLC ("Wasatch"), at which time the Management Fee and the Wasatch Remediation Fee shall also terminate.

Additionally, Wasatch RNG and OPAL Fuels entered into an Option Agreement, pursuant to which Wasatch RNG granted an option to OPAL Fuels to purchase the Alpro Interest. The exercise period of the option commenced upon closing of the acquisition and will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition, or ninety days following a change of control of OPAL Fuels. The exercise price of the option would be determined such that Wasatch RNG would earn an internal rate of return on its invested capital of 10% percent per year if the option is exercised in the first year,15% per year if exercised in the second year, and 20% per year if exercised in the third year.

Wasatch RNG is determined to be a VIE due to their having insufficient equity investment at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support, and due to the fact that the holder of equity at risk in Wasatch RNG lacks the right to fully receive the expected residual returns. However, we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, we do not consolidate the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Wasatch RNG in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2025, Scott Contino served as Interim CFO of the Company. Pursuant to the Interim Services Agreement, the Company paid Fortistar an agreed hourly rate, such that the monthly fee did not exceed $50, on a cumulative basis.

Class D Common Stock Conversion

On April 23, 2025, our ultimate controlling shareholder, Fortistar, through its subsidiary OPAL Holdco LLC, exchanged 50 million shares of Class D common stock of the Company held by it, each of which is entitled tofive votes per share on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, for an equal number of shares of newly issued Class B common stock of the Company, each of which is entitled toone vote on such matters. This transaction had no effect on the economic interest in the Company held by Fortistar.

  1. Reportable Segments and Geographic Information

The Company is organized into three operating segments based on the characteristics of its renewable power generation, dispensing portfolio, production and sale of renewable gas, and nature of other products and services.

Our reportable segments disclosure is aligned with the information and internal reporting provided to our CODM. Our Co-CEOs, Adam Comora and Jonathan Maurer, jointly fulfill the role of the CODM. The CODM evaluates performance based on segment net income (loss). For all of the segments, the CODM uses segment net income (loss) in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-current forecast and prior forecast-to-current forecast variances for segment net income (loss) on a monthly basis for evaluating performance of each segment and making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment.

Thethree operating segments are RNG Fuel, Fuel Station Services and Renewable Power. The Company has determined that each of thethree operating segments meets the characteristics of a reportable segment under U.S. GAAP.

The Corporate entity is not determined to be an operating segment but is discretely disclosed for purposes of reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and though not denoted as an operating segment, significant expenses are noted within the segment.

The following table reflects the financial data used to calculate each reportable segment’s net income (loss) and includes reconciliations to Opal’s consolidated revenue and consolidated net income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025:

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to a full valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law in the U.S. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of the Company's second quarter, its impacts are not reflected in the Company’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company is in the process of evaluating the OBBBA and has not estimated its financial impact at this time.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in various claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Set forth below is information related to the Company’s material pending legal proceedings as of the date of this report, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business.

Central Valley Project

In September 2021, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, MD Digester, LLC (“MD”), entered into a fixed-price Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (an “EPC Contract”) with VEC Partners, Inc. d/b/a CEI Builders (“CEI”) for the design and construction of a turn-key renewable natural gas production facility using dairy cow manure as feedstock in California’s Central Valley. In December 2021, a second indirect subsidiary of the Company, VS Digester, LLC (“VS”) entered into a nearly identical EPC Contract (collectively, the "EPC Contracts") with CEI for the design and construction of a second facility, also in California’s Central Valley. CEI’s performance under both of the EPC Contracts is fully bonded by licensed sureties.

CEI submitted a series of change order requests seeking to increase the EPC Contract Price by approximately $14 million, per project, primarily due to: (1) modifications to CEI’s design drawings which are required to meet its contracted performance guaranties, and (2) a default by one of CEI’s major equipment manufacturers. The Company disputes the vast majority of the change order requests.

In January 2024, the Company filed a civil lawsuit captioned, MD Digester, LLC. et. al. vs. VEC Partners, Inc. et. al.; with the California Superior Court, County of San Joaquin; Action No. STK- CV-UCC-2024-0000185 and commenced a related arbitration proceeding in order to obtain a formal determination on the claims; AAA Case No. 01-24-0000-0775. The Superior Court Action has been stayed, pending the conclusion of the arbitration. In the meantime, the AAA has empaneled three experienced arbitrators and has set the hearing date for the matter, currently schedule in May 2026.

The EPC Agreement requires that CEI, continue working during the course of the litigation and related arbitration proceedings; however, CEI effectively stopped working. Between May and August 2024, MD issued a series of Notices of Default and Demands to Cure to CEI. CEI failed to cure, and on July 30, 2024, MD terminated CEI for default. MD notified CEI’s performance bond surety, Atlantic Specialty Insurance Company of the termination and demanded that it perform under the bond. Atlantic has denied the claim.

On July 11, 2024, VS issued a Notice of Default and Demand to Cure, advising CEI of its defaults and giving it an opportunity to cure. CEI failed to do so, and on August 27, 2024, VS terminated CEI for default. VS has notified CEI’s bond surety, also Atlantic, of the second termination and demanded that it perform under the performance bond. The surety has denied the claim.

As a result of CEI’s default and Atlantic’s denial of the claims, MD and VS have amended their claims in the AAA arbitration to include breach of contract claims against CEI and breach of performance bond claims against Atlantic (who was formally joined into the arbitration on November 20, 2024) in the AAA Arbitration with CEI.

CEI has since recorded mechanic’s liens against each of the projects for $4,900 (MD) and $2,000 (VS), and filed actions with the Stanislaus and San Joaquin County Superior Courts, respectively, to enforce their liens. MD and VS have since recorded bonds releasing the properties from the liens and it is expected that these claims will be stayed and consolidated with the pending arbitration proceeding.

In addition to the above-referenced action and arbitration, several of CEI’s subcontractors have recorded mechanic’s liens against the MD and VS projects, which the Company is obligated to defend and indemnify the dairy owners from and against. Several of liens were untimely and have been released.

The Company believes its claims against CEI (and the surety where bond claims are denied) have substantial merit, and intends to prosecute the claims vigorously. However, due to the incipient stage of the litigation and related arbitration, the recency of the termination, and the ongoing status of the proceedings and discussions with the bond surety, as well as the uncertainties involved in all litigation and arbitration, the Company is unable at this time to assess the likely outcome of the litigation and related arbitration, the timing of its resolution, or its ultimate impact, if any, on the Central Valley projects or the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Former Development Partner/Construction Manager

In March 2024, the Company filed an action in the Orange County Superior Court (Case No. 30- 2024-01415510-CU-BC-CXC) against its former development partner and construction manager, Sierra Renewable Organics Management, LLC, as well as its principal (Ethan Werner) and affiliated engineering firm (CH Four Biogas) for Breach of Contract, Indemnity, Declaratory Relief, Intentional Misrepresentation and Negligent Misrepresentation relating to the design and development of the Projects. The case is not yet at issue, so no answer or cross claims have been filed yet, and no discovery has been conducted.
