OPAL Fuels Reports First Quarter 2025 Results May 8, 2025 WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2025-- OPAL Fuels Inc. (“OPAL Fuels” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPAL) today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. “First quarter results were in-line with expectations as we continue to execute on our strategic and operational goals and we are on track to achieve our full year outlook set in March,” said Adam Comora, co-CEO. “Despite the uncertainties arising from the macro and policy environment, our operations remain solid and industry fundamentals continue to make RNG an attractive sector long-term. Capturing and converting methane emissions from organic waste is readily acknowledged as an effective and attractive option to decarbonize the Class 8 truck market today." "Our two RNG facilities which we brought online in the fourth quarter of 2024 are performing as expected through their respective ramp-up periods and support our full-year production target," said co-CEO Jonathan Maurer. "We’re also pleased that we completed our second ITC sale in the first quarter and expect additional sales later this year. With respect to our Fuel Station Services segment we saw solid first quarter results and expect this trend to continue for the remainder of 2025." “Landfill RNG assets have visible and stable growth with minimal ongoing capital requirements, thus generating significant free cash flow during their operations. We continue to believe that the outlook for OPAL Fuels is strong and our focus on the disciplined execution of our growth strategy is creating meaningful shareholder value," continued Maurer. Financial Highlights Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $85.4 million, an increase of 31% compared to the prior-year period. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.3 million, compared to $0.7 million in the same period last year. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $0.01 compared to $0.01 in the comparable period last year. Adjusted EBITDA1 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $20.2 million compared to $15.2 million in the comparable period last year. At March 31, 2025, RNG Pending Monetization totaled $15.1 million. Completed sale of $8.9 million of IRA Investment Tax Credits. Operational Highlights RNG produced was 1.1 million MMBtu for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 38% compared to the prior-year period.2 The Fuel Station Services segment sold, dispensed, and serviced an aggregate of 40.6 million GGEs of transportation fuel for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of 16% compared to the prior-year period. Of this amount, RNG dispensed as a transportation fuel was 19.5 million GGEs, an increase of 19% compared to the prior-year period. 1 This is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its comparable GAAP financial measure 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." 2 Represents OPAL Fuels' proportional share with respect to RNG projects owned with joint venture partners. Construction Update The Atlantic RNG project remains on schedule to commence commercial operations in third quarter 2025. This project represents approximately 0.3 million MMBtu for OPAL Fuels’ 50% ownership share of annual design capacity. 3,4 The Burlington, Cottonwood, and Kirby RNG projects, representing an aggregate annual design capacity of 1.8 million MMBtu for OPAL's share, remain on schedule and are expected to commence commercial operations in 2026. Completion of construction at two dairy projects in California (Hilltop and Vander Schaaf) continues to be delayed due to a dispute with the prior Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor over a series of change order requests. 5 At March 31, 2025, we had 45 fueling stations under construction including 19 owned by OPAL.

RNG Facility Capacity and Utilization Summary Three Months Ended March 31 2025 2024 RNG Facility Capacity and Utilization Design Capacity (Million MMBtus) (1) 2.3 1.3 Volume of Inlet Gas (Million MMBtus) (2) 1.4 1.0 Inlet Design Capacity Utilization (%) (2) 69% 80% RNG Fuel volume produced (Million MMBtus) 1.1 0.8 Utilization of Inlet Gas (%) (3) 77% 81% (1) Design Capacity for RNG facilities is measured as the volume of feedstock biogas that the facility is capable of accepting at the inlet and processing during the associated period. Design Capacity is presented as OPAL’s ownership share (i.e., net of joint venture partners’ ownership) of the facility and is calculated based on the number of days in the period. New facilities that come online during a quarter are pro-rated for the number of days in commercial operation. (2) Inlet Design Capacity Utilization is measured as the Volume of Inlet Gas for a period, divided by the total Design Capacity for such period. The Volume of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on, among other factors, (i) the quantity and quality of waste deposited at the landfill, (ii) waste management practices by the landfill, and (iii) the construction, operations and maintenance of the landfill gas collection system used to recover the landfill gas. The Design Capacity for each facility will typically be correlated to the amount of landfill gas expected to be generated by the landfill during the term of the related gas rights agreement. The Company expects Inlet Design Capacity Utilization to be in the range of 75-85% on an aggregate basis over the next several years. Typically, newer facilities perform at the lower end of this range and demonstrate increasing utilization as they mature and the biogas resource increases at open landfills. Excludes Sunoma and Biotown. (3) Utilization of Inlet Gas is measured as RNG Fuel Volume Produced divided by the Volume of Inlet Gas. Utilization of Inlet Gas varies over time depending on availability and efficiency of the facility and the quality of landfill gas (i.e., concentrations of methane, oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases). The Company generally expects Utilization of Inlet Gas to be in the range of 80% to 90%. Excludes Sunoma and Biotown.

We believe these measures provide important supplemental information to investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results. We use these measures, together with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP"), for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations, that when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide, give a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We strongly encourage you to review all of our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not solely rely on any single non-GAAP financial measure. 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. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measure as indicators of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company's presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. We strongly encourage you to review all of our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not solely rely on any single non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses a non-GAAP financial measure that it calls adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"). This non-GAAP financial measure adjusts net income for interest and financing expense, net, net (income) loss attributable to non-redeemable non-controlling interests, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, adjustments to reflect Adjusted EBITDA from equity method investments, unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, non-cash charges, one-time non-recurring charges, major maintenance on Renewable Power, RNG development costs, virtual pipeline costs, and ITC proceeds, net. Management believes this non-GAAP financial 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; (3) the measure better aligns revenues with expenses; and (4) 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.

(2) Includes interest, depreciation, amortization and accretion and RNG development costs incurred on equity method investments. (3) Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments includes change in fair value of commodity swaps and earnout liabilities. (4) Non-cash charges primarily include stock-based compensation expense and unrealized gain on note receivable. (5) One-time non-recurring charges include (i) certain expenses related to development expenses on our RNG facilities such as lease expenses (in 2024) and legal costs, incurred during construction phase that could not be capitalized per GAAP. (6) Relates to virtual pipeline costs on our Prince William facility. These are temporary transportation costs incurred until a permanent pipeline is completed, which we currently anticipate in the second half of 2025. The costs are decreased by estimated costs of permanent pipeline.
