Y. Zhang's questions to OPAL Fuels (OPAL) leadership

Question · Q4 2024

Y. Zhang of Scotiabank questioned the business mix, noting that 2025 guidance implies Fuel Station Services could exceed 50% of EBITDA and asking if this is the right balance. She also asked about seemingly low RIN generation in the Fuel Station Services segment in Q4.

Answer

Co-CEO Adam Comora and CFO Kazi Hasan clarified that while the Fuel Station Services segment is growing faster than other segments in 2025, it does not yet represent 50% of the total portfolio EBITDA after accounting for corporate overhead. They noted the relative growth is amplified by a lower RIN price assumption impacting the RNG Fuel segment. Management stated they would follow up regarding the specific Q4 RIN generation figures.
