**Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition**

On March 27, 2023, OPAL Fuels Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release regarding its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The information disclosed under this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit, is being "furnished" and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Company makes no statement or admission as to the materiality of any information in this Item 2.02 or the exhibit attached hereto.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward looking statements are based on current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. Further, the forward-looking statements are subject to the limitations listed in Exhibit 99.1 and in the other SEC reports of the Company, including that actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

Additionally, to supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") in Exhibit 99.1, the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure that it calls adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"). This non-GAAP Measure adjusts net income for realized and unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, net loss attributable to non-redeemable non-controlling interests, stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs and other one time non recurring charges, other non-cash charges, major maintenance for renewable power, unrealized loss (gain) for derivative instruments, non cash gain on reversal of a liability to non redeemable non-controlling interests, loss on disposal of assets, gain on redemption of Note receivable, gas in storage with forward purchase agreement and gain on equity method investments. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information about the Company's performance, for the following reasons: (1) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to assess the Company's operating performance and make financial and operational decisions; (2) the measure excludes the effect of items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating performance and may obscure trends in the business; and (3) the measure is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's business. In future quarters, the Company may adjust for other expenditures, charges or gains to present non-GAAP financial measures that the Company's management believes are indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results. The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for the items described below (and/or other items that may arise in the future as the Company's management deems appropriate), and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses, charges or gains like the non-GAAP adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the exhibit.

## Exhibit 99.1

![opaljpega.jpg](opaljpega.jpg)

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

**OPAL Fuels Reports Revenue of $235.5 million and 2.2 million MMBtu of RNG Produced in 2022, Representing 42% and 38% Annual Increases** 

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – (March 27, 2023) – <u>OPAL Fuels Inc.</u> ("OPAL Fuels" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: OPAL), a leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG), today announced financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

"OPAL Fuels has continued to execute on its strategic and operational goals," said Co-CEO Adam Comora. "After bringing three RNG projects online in 2022, we now have seven in operation, six under construction and a growing Advanced Development Pipeline.

"RNG production in 2022 grew 38% compared to 2021, and we are forecasting production growth to accelerate to over 50% in 2023. We also expect accelerated production growth in 2024 as our projects in construction become operational. In addition, as projects continue to move into and through our Advanced Development Pipeline (ADP) and into construction, we are setting the foundation for meaningful production growth over the coming years.

"The RNG industry continues to benefit from tailwinds as the potential benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) become clearer. Additionally, new pathways under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) such as eRINs are being established and new offtake markets are developing.

"More importantly, the flexibility of OPAL Fuels' vertically integrated business platform continues to maximize value for stakeholders, reduces volatility from environmental credit pricing and provides optionality as public policy and markets continue to evolve. We expect that in the second half of 2023 we will begin to see the benefits of the IRA's Investment Tax Credits (ITC) provisions. Additionally, guidance on the 45Z production tax credits, and clarification on the proposed eRIN pathway under the RFS program should be available. This should add to the industry tailwinds, providing meaningful benefits to our vertically integrated business."

"We anticipate putting at least 2.0 million MMBtu of RNG projects into construction this calendar year," said Co-CEO Jonathan Maurer. "We also continue to expand our Advanced Development Pipeline<sup>1</sup>. Recently we added 0.8 million MMBtu of anticipated nameplate capacity to ADP, and now have a total of approximately 8.3 million MMBtu, across 19 projects.

------

"In addition, as we continue to evaluate projects across the sector, we expect our pipeline of opportunities to grow. We are pleased that some of the development headwinds we experienced in 2022 have begun to subside."

**Financial Highlights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, was $66.7 million and $235.5 million, respectively, up 9% and 42%, compared to prior-year periods.

____________________________

 <sup>1</sup> The Company's Advanced Development Pipeline ("ADP") comprises projects that have been qualified and are reasonably expected to be in construction within the next twelve to eighteen months. The MMBtu associated with these projects is presented as anticipated nameplate capacity. Anticipated nameplate capacity is the Company's currently anticipated annual design output for each facility and may not reflect actual production from the projects, which depends on many variables including, but not limited to, quantity and quality of the biogas, operational up-time of the facility, and actual productivity of the facility.

<sup>2</sup> Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release. An explanation of this measure and how it is calculated is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 137 fueling stations in its dispensing network, of which 26 are under construction. As part of its dispensing network, OPAL Fuels owns 46 fueling stations including 20 sites under construction.

**Construction Update**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BioTown dairy RNG project commenced commercial operations in February 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Anticipate three landfill gas projects to commence operations in 2023

- Emerald RNG in mid-2023, as well as Prince William RNG and Sapphire RNG in the fourth quarter of 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• OPAL Fuels' share of annual nameplate capacity<sup>3</sup> for Emerald, Prince William, and Sapphire projects is approximately 3.8 million MMBtu.

**Development Update**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Anticipate placing at least 2.0 million MMBtu of RNG projects (representing OPAL Fuels' proportional ownership) into construction in 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Added 0.8 million MMBtu of anticipated nameplate capacity to the Company's Advanced Development Pipeline<sup>4</sup>, bringing it to approximately 8.3 million MMBtu across 19 projects, which are primarily landfill gas projects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advanced Development Pipeline includes four landfill gas-to-electric projects that are candidates for conversion to RNG.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Advanced Development Pipeline excludes 12 landfill gas-to-electric projects in our portfolio, which may be available to generate eRINs from a potential new RFS pathway proposed by the EPA in their proposed set rule.

**2023 Guidance Expectations**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company currently estimates that Adjusted EBITDA<sup>9</sup> for the full year 2023 will range between $85 and $95 million. This guidance assumes an average annual price of $2.25/gallon for a D3 RIN, $3.00/MMBtu brown gas, and $90/MT LCFS credit pricing and is based off the midpoint of the expected range of expected RNG production. <sup>5</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• RNG produced for the full year 2023 is anticipated to range between 3.2 million MMBtu and 3.6 million MMBtu compared with 2.2 million MMBtu in 2022.<sup>6</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• RNG dispensing volume is anticipated to range between 53 million GGEs and 57 million GGEs, compared with 29.4 million GGEs in 2022, an increase ranging from 80% to 94%.<sup>7</sup> All guidance is current as of the date of this release and is subject to change.

<sup>7</sup>Includes volumes sold in OPAL Fuel's proprietary dispensing network as well as third party stations that are serviced and maintained by OPAL Fuels.

<sup>8</sup> RNG Production reflects OPAL Fuels' proportional share with respect to RNG projects owned with joint venture partners.

<sup>9</sup> Estimated Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the full year estimated Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the closest GAAP measure, cannot be provided due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts including but not limited to changes in fair value of the derivative instruments and other items, due to a number of factors including the unpredictability of underlying price movements, which may be significant.

---

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was $66.7 million, an increase of 9%, or $5.6 million, compared to $61.2 million in the prior year. While two of our three business segments experienced growth during the year, the increase was primarily driven by the RNG Fuel segment. Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, was $235.5 million compared to $166.1 million in the prior-year period.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was $32.0 million, compared to $21.8 million in the prior year. The fourth quarter includes $33.1 million of change in derivative instruments primarily attributable to our earnout liabilities assumed after the closing of the business combination.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, was $32.6 million compared to $40.8 million for the prior year. Full year 2022 net income was impacted by lower margins reducing our operating income year-over-year and higher transaction costs associated with becoming a public company, offset by change in fair value of derivative instruments.

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>2</sup> for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was $20.2 million, reflecting an increase of 13%, compared to $17.8 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, was $60.7 million compared to $40.6 million in the prior-year period.

*Timing of Sales of RINs for Gas in Storage*

------

Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the timing of revenue recognition for stand-alone RIN sales contracts is tied to the delivery of the RIN to our counterparties and not the production of the RIN. To better align timing of when costs are recognized for the production of RNG in a current period, in Adjusted EBITDA, we include the value of that RNG, and environmental credits held in inventory.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had biogas in storage from fourth quarter production that was pending certification for generation of environmental credits for the Sunoma dairy RNG project and other third-party supply. Upon completion of certification, RINs and LCFS credits associated with this stored biogas will be monetized under a blend of forward and merchant sales contracts.

Adjusted EBITDA as of December 31, 2022, includes adjustments for $7.4 million of environmental credits that are anticipated to be generated from this stored RNG and other environmental credits held in inventory. Conversely, $7.5 million related to stored gas and environmental credits that was included in third quarter Adjusted EBITDA has been subtracted from fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA for consistency of presentation.

**Segment Revenues**

*RNG Fuel*

Revenue from RNG Fuel was $43.6 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 31%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. This change was attributable primarily due to an increase in environmental credits and brown gas sales driven by additional volumes and higher prices.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, revenue from RNG Fuel increased by $56.5 million, or 80%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was attributable primarily to the impact of a full year of Beacon revenue in 2022 versus only eight months in 2021, an increase from brown gas sales and the sale of environmental credits.

*Fuel Station Services*

Revenue from Fuel Station Services was $13.7 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 8%, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. Revenues from fuel station construction for third parties are recognized on a percentage of completion basis and can fluctuate based on equipment deliveries and the incurrence of the construction expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, revenue from Fuel Station Services increased by $18.8 million, or 37%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. This was primarily attributable to an increase from fuel station construction projects which were completed into 2022, coupled with an increase in volumes at existing and new service sites and from the sale of portable fueling stations. We also signed $61 million in third-party fuel station construction contracts during 2022. Third-party construction revenue backlog was approximately $65.7 million at December 31, 2022.

*Renewable Power*

------

Revenue from Renewable Power was $9.4 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 28%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. This is primarily due to the shutdown of one of our electricity generation facilities as our gas rights agreement concluded.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, revenue from Renewable Power decreased by $5.9 million, or 13%, compared to the prior year. In addition to the shut down at the end of the third quarter of one of our electricity generation facilities as our gas rights agreement concluded, this change was attributable to a decrease from the conversion of one of our electricity generation facilities into an RNG facility.

**Liquidity**

As of December 31, 2022, our liquidity is $257.2 million consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $40.4 million, restricted cash of $36.8 million, plus an additional $65.0 million in short-term investments maturing within 90 days. Our liquidity includes aggregate availability of $105 million senior secured credit facilities after a drawdown of $10.0 million in March 2023.

We believe that our available cash, anticipated cash flows from operations, available lines of credit under existing debt facilities, and access to expected sources of capital will be sufficient to meet our existing commitments and funding needs.

**Capital Expenditures**

During the year ended 2022, OPAL Fuels invested $108.3 million<sup>10</sup> across six RNG projects and 21 owned fueling stations in construction as compared to $30.2 million in 2021.

**Earnings Call**

A webcast to review OPAL Fuels' Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 results is being held tomorrow, March 28, 2023 at 11:00AM Eastern Time.

Materials to be discussed in the webcast will be available before the call on the Company's website.

Participants may access the call at https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/wi45x8o3, and a live webcast will also be available at <u>https://investors.opalfuels.com/news-events/events- presentations</u>.

_____________________

<sup>10</sup> Capital Expenditures reflect net investment in RNG projects net of proceeds received from our non-redeemable non-controlling interests. We received $23.1 million and $59.4 million from such parties for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts have been excluded to reflect only capital expenditures attributable to OPAL Fuels

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)**

To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure that it calls adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"). This non-GAAP Measure adjusts net income for realized and unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, net loss attributable to non-redeemable non-controlling interests, transaction costs and one time non recurring charges, non-cash charges, major maintenance for renewable power, unrealized loss (gain) for derivative instruments, loss on warrant exchange, non cash gain on reversal of a liability to non redeemable non-controlling interests, gain on redemption of Note receivable, environmental credits associated with renewable biogas that has been produced and is in storage pending completion of certification of the relevant environmental attribute pathway(s), such credits to be monetized under a blend of forward and merchant sales contracts, and gain on acquisition of equity method investment. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information about the Company's performance, for the following reasons: (1) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to assess the Company's operating performance and make financial and operational decisions; (2) the measure excludes the effect of items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company's core operating performance and may obscure trends in the business; and (3) the measure is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's business. In future quarters, the Company may adjust for other expenditures, charges or gains to present non-GAAP financial measures that the Company's management believes are indicative of the Company's core operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP results. The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for the items described below (and/or other items that may arise in the future as the Company's management deems appropriate), and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses, charges or gains like the non-GAAP adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
