| I think the year-to-date pace is around 17% growth rate, which obviously is pretty strong |
| Net income for the third quarter of 2023 increased approximately $1.7 million or 15.6% over the third quarter of 2022 |
| Our RNG facilities reported reduced utility expenses of approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 |
| And then while we still continue to review and try to glean information from our systems and information, we do believe that there is that continued growth in the voluntary offtake market as well |
| This compares to an approximately 6.6% increase in industry-wide RIN generation from July 2022 to September 2022 |
| Operating income in the third quarter of 2023 was $16.8 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 23.1% compared to $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $22.4 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 7.4% compared to $20.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 |
| Renewable electricity generation operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.7 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 141.9% compared to an operating loss of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Revenues from renewable electricity facilities in the third quarter of 2023 were $4.8 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 9.2% compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $22.4 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 18.2% compared to $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 |
| Craig Shere Good afternoon |
| The increase is primarily driven by an increase in our security facility production volumes and the timing of the generation and monetization of RECs at our Bowerman facility |
| During the third quarter of 2023, we self-monetized 13.8 million RINs, representing a $2.9 million increase or 26.7% compared to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| This compares to the average D3 RIN index price for the third quarter of 2023 of $3.01 being approximately 6.4% higher than the average D3 RIN index price in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Good day, everyone, and thank you for joining our call |
| We have begun utilizing the increased reception pit capacity and have been working to increase gas availability through the additional digestion capacity |
| Additionally, operating and maintenance expenses at our RNG facilities increased approximately $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 as a result of facility preventative maintenance, repairs and other well-field operational enhancements |
| Upon completion of this first phase of the project, we expect to have sufficient capacity to satisfy the Duke Energy REC contract through the deployment of up to eight of our patented reactors |
| Craig Shere Thank you |
| Everyone, have a wonderful day |
| Matthew Blair Hey, good afternoon |
| Offsetting these revenue decreases was an increase of 26.7% of RINs sold in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 |
| We expect to commission the last expansion of our digestion capacity increase during the fourth quarter of 2023 that will be necessary to process the final tranche of increased feedstock |
| This compares to approximately 6.6% increase in RIN generation between July 2022 and September 2022 |

| It looks like your third quarter was mostly in line, but you’re lowering RNG guidance for the year, which implies kind of a softer fourth quarter |
| That’s a primary leading reason for the lowering of the top end of our 2023 guidance |
| We believe contributing factors to this third quarter of 2023 reduction in industry D3 RIN generation could include drought weather anomalies of lower-than-expected rainfall and higher than average temperatures |
| We believe contributing factors to the Q3 2023 reduction in D3 RIN generation could include drought weather anomalies of lower-than-average rainfall and higher than average temperatures |
| Also impacting our production were previously discussed second quarter of 2023 process equipment failures, which impacted the third quarter of 2023, but has since been repaired |
| As some of our production facilities experienced these weather anomalies and, as Kevin will explain more, our production during the third quarter of 2023 was similarly impacted |
| RNG operating income for the third quarter of 2023 was $24.1 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 10.3% compared to $26.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Similarly, realized RIN prices decreased 12.6% to $3.05 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $3.49 in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Average realized pricing for RIN sales during the third quarter of 2023 was $3.05 as compared to $3.49 in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 12.6% |
| Revenues from the Renewable Natural Gas segment in the third quarter of 2023 were $50.9 million, a decrease of $3.4 million or 6.3% compared to $54.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Our third quarter was impacted by these weather anomalies significantly impacting our Ohio facilities and our Texas facilities |
| These weather anomalies have impacted gas availability at certain of our RNG facilities during the third quarter of 2023 |
| We produced approximately 48,000 megawatt hours of renewable electricity during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of approximately 1,000 megawatt hours compared to 49,000 megawatt hours in the third quarter of 2022 |
| But generally, the drought that we experienced for a prolonged period in our third quarter is the primary reason for the top end of that range being reduced from last quarter to this quarter |
| Total revenues in the third quarter of 2023 were $55.7 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 0.3% compared to $55.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Average commodity pricing for natural gas for the third quarter of 2023 was $2.55 per MMBtu, 68.9% lower than the third quarter of 2022 |
| We’re working to quantify that, but I believe it’s those two leading factors would be contributing to the falling RIN production that we’ve been seeing as an industry over the last handful of months |
| During the third quarter of 2023, industry-wide D3 RIN generation decreased approximately 8% when comparing RIN generation in July 2023 to September 2023 as reported by the US EPA |
| We produced 1.4 million MMBtu of Renewable Natural Gas during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of less than 0.1 million compared to 1.4 million MMBtus produced in the third quarter of 2022 |
| The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in pricing of the gas commodity indices, which decreased 68.9% during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 |
