BURLINGTON, Ontario, August 12, 2021 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or the “Company“) (TSX: ANRG), an integrated waste-to-value platform created to eliminate greenhouse gases by cost-effectively turning organic waste into renewable natural gas, fertilizer and water, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. All financial results are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
“The financial results we are reporting today reflect Anaergia’s strong year-over-year growth,” noted Anaergia’s CEO, Andrew Benedek. “Furthermore, our rising Revenue Backlog[1] bodes well for continuing revenue growth, and rising profitability, in future periods.
“While this ramp-up in revenues is gratifying, we are currently monitoring the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on business activity levels in California. In particular, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing slower than previously anticipated escalation in the volumes of organic waste being shipped to our Rialto facility near Los Angeles, California. This is temporarily delaying the expected financial contribution from this facility.
“However, we are also seeing stronger than previously anticipated demand for our integrated solution in Europe. We now expect that increased sales in Europe will offset the financial impact of the slower than previously anticipated ramp-up at Rialto. Therefore, we currently foresee no discernable change to Anaergia’s previously disclosed financial outlook for 2022 or 2023,” concluded Dr. Benedek.
Q2 2021 Financial Results
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company announced the closing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 12,500,000 subordinate voting shares, which were issued at a price of $14.00 per share for gross proceeds of $175 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, 1,740,500 additional subordinate voting shares were issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option granted in connection with the IPO, resulting in approximately $24.4 million of additional gross proceeds. With the closing of the IPO, the Company is well-capitalized for future growth.
Second Quarter financial highlights:
- Revenues increased by $9.8 million to $32.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to $22.4 million for the same period the prior year. The increase was driven by activity in both the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and North American markets. Specifically, government regulation and incentives in Italy and in California have driven the development of new facilities in an effort to divert organic waste from landfills and produce renewable natural gas.
- Net Income was $2.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of $17.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The significant variance was mainly driven by large, non-cash adjustments based upon valuations of stock warrants and an embedded derivative as well as foreign currency exchange losses in the earlier period.
- Adjusted EBITDA[2] of $1.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to $0.9 million for the same period the prior year. The increase was driven by strong revenue and gross margin growth, which more than offset increased overhead expenses.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS measures to provide investors with supplemental measures. Management also uses non-IFRS measures internally in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets and assess our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes these non-IFRS measures and industry metrics are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on operating performance and highlight trends in the core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Management believes such measures allow for assessment of our operating performance and financial condition on a basis that is more consistent and comparable between reporting periods. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers.
Definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures can be found in our MD&A. Such reconciliations can also be found in this press release under “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures”.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net earnings before finance costs, taxes and depreciation and amortization adjusted for our normalized proportionate interest in our build-own-operate (“BOO”) assets and one-time or non-recurring items, stock-based compensation expense, asset impairment charges and write downs, gains and losses for equity-accounted investees, foreign exchange gains or losses, restructuring costs, ERP customization and configuration costs, litigation and other claims settlements, gains and losses resulting from changes in certain balance sheet valuations (such as derivatives and warrants), acquisition costs and costs related to our initial public offering, including estimated incremental auditing and professional services costs incurred in connection with our initial public offering. For further details, refer to “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” below.
“Revenue Backlog” is defined as the balance of unrecognized, undiscounted, consolidated revenues from signed contracts in our Capital Sales and Services segments and from our BOO assets that are operational, under construction or financially closed over their remaining useful life. We have conservatively modelled for only 20 years of revenue out of the useful life of the BOO assets.

A conference call to review the results will take place at 11:00 a.m. (ET) on Friday, August 13, 2021, hosted by Chief Executive Officer Andrew Benedek, Chief Operating Officer Yaniv Scherson, and Chief Financial Officer Hani Kaissi.
