Record Quarterly and Strong Annual Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 was $80,200,000, a new quarterly record (up from $70,900,000 in the prior quarter, +13.1% QoQ) and up sharply vs. $29,200,000 in the comparable prior-year quarter (+174.7% YoY). Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $232,300,000, up from $127,600,000 in fiscal 2024 (+82%).
Year-End EBITDA Run-Rate Acceleration
Management exited the year at an EBITDA run-rate of just over $320,000,000 annually — materially above reported annual results — reflecting contributions from late-year transactions and new contracts.
Rail Segment Outperformance — Wheeling Integration
Rail segment Q4 adjusted EBITDA was $41,300,000 (total Rail revenue $86,400,000). Wheeling delivered strong early results: Q4 revenue $43,000,000 (+8% YoY) and Wheeling adjusted EBITDA $19,300,000 (+34% YoY). Transstar contributed $22,000,000 of Q4 EBITDA. Integration has already realized $10,000,000 of annualized cost savings with an additional $10,000,000 in process (50% implemented toward a $20,000,000 target). Management estimates >$50,000,000 of incremental future EBITDA from new revenue opportunities on the combined rail system.
Long Ridge Operational Momentum and Development Opportunities
Long Ridge set a new record for gas production at ~105,000 MMBtu/day in Q4 (well above the ~70,000 MMBtu/day plant requirement), and Q4 EBITDA was $36,200,000 (slightly up from $35,700,000 in Q3, +1.4% QoQ). Management is advancing a 20 MW generation upgrade (projected incremental $5M–$10M annual EBITDA) and pursuing land monetization and data center / PPA opportunities that could materially enhance value and support a planned monetization process.
Jefferson Terminal Ramp and Commercial Pipeline
Jefferson reported Q4 revenue of $23,500,000 (+11.4% QoQ vs $21,100,000) and adjusted EBITDA of $13,600,000 (vs $11,000,000 in Q3, +23.6% QoQ). The new 15-year ammonia export contract began in late November (one month of impact in Q4) and management is in advanced talks on three additional contracts that together could represent >$50,000,000 of incremental annual EBITDA with little to no incremental CapEx.
Repauno Phase Progress and Phase 3 Permitting
Phase 2 construction is progressing on plan; combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 capacity is expected to handle just over 80,000 barrels per day, representing ~ $80,000,000 of annual EBITDA at full utilization. Management secured permits for Phase 3 (two caverns, each 640,000 barrels) and is advancing commercial planning and construction preparation.
Refinancing to Stabilize Parent Capital Structure
Closed a new ~$1.3 billion term loan to repay the bridge used for the Wheeling acquisition; this is the only parent-level debt and carries a 9.75% coupon. The loan is prepayable with a declining premium and management expects proceeds from a potential Long Ridge sale may be used to repay at a lower premium, creating a path to meaningful deleveraging and improved free cash flow.
Non-Core Investment Upside (Clean Planet Energy)
Management executed an exchange that produced a ~$9,000,000 write-up of the Clean Planet Energy holding (excluded from adjusted EBITDA as non-recurring). Management expects Clean Planet to begin contributing regular EBITDA starting in 2027 as facilities under construction/advanced development come online.
