The earnings call presented a mixed picture with some operational achievements such as record production volumes and strategic investment reductions, but also faced significant challenges including a decline in EBITDA, production issues in Canada, and uncertain greenhouse gas quota prices.

Company Guidance

During the Verbio Earnings Call for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025, Claus Sauter, CEO, and Olaf Tröber, CFO, provided insights into the company's performance and guidance. The company reported a decline in EBITDA to €22 million from €82 million year-over-year due to weaker margins and a challenging market environment. Biodiesel production faced a slight decline, while ethanol and renewable natural gas showed record production volumes. Capital expenditure totaled €30 million for Q3 and €91.5 million for the first nine months, with a significant reduction from the previous year's €130 million. The net debt stood at €154 million by the end of March, with an equity ratio around 63%. Despite the current weak margin environment, Verbio's guidance for the fiscal year remains in the mid double-digit million-euro range, with expectations to meet the lower end of this guidance. The company anticipates a maximum net financial debt of €190 million by the fiscal year's end, with free cash flow expected to be breakeven or positive in the fourth quarter. The call highlighted strategic investments in specialty chemicals in Germany and the ethanol plant in South Bend, US, as well as a cautious approach to future growth initiatives.

Record Production Volumes

Ethanol and renewable natural gas (Biomethane) reported record production volumes, driven by efficiency gains in Europe and further de-bottlenecking in the U.S. plants.

Improved EBITDA in Q3

Q3 EBITDA improved year-over-year to €8.2 million from €7.3 million, thanks to developments in the biodiesel segment and trading activities.

Strategic Investment Reductions

Capital expenditure was significantly reduced from over €250 million at their peak to less than €100 million by 2025-2026, focusing on improving operating cash flow.

Positive Outlook for the U.S. Market

The Nevada RNG ethanol plant reached new peak production levels, with plans for continuous production by summer 2025. The U.S. biofuel market shows potential for better margins.
