Commissioning of Montauk Ag Renewables Project
Montauk Ag renewables project in Turkey, North Carolina was commissioned and is producing gas; renewable electricity from syngas expected to commence in May 2026. Targeted first phase capacity: 47,000 (reported) and 120,000 RECs annually at ~50% reactor capacity. Capital investment for first phase reaffirmed at $200 million; ramp-up expected through 2026 tied to additional feedstock collection.
Revenue Growth
Total revenues for Q1 2026 were $46.4 million, an increase of $3.8 million or 9% versus $42.6 million in Q1 2025, driven primarily by environmental attribute (RIN) revenue (~$4.2 million) and GreenWave-related sales.
Strong Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA Expansion
Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2026 was $10.8 million, up $2.0 million or 22.8% versus $8.8 million in Q1 2025. EBITDA was $9.4 million, up $2.7 million or 40.3% versus $6.7 million in Q1 2025.
Improved Net Income
Net income improved to $5,000 in Q1 2026 compared to a net loss of $0.5 million in Q1 2025, reflecting improved underlying EBITDA and other income items.
RIN Sales and Pricing Activity
Sold all 3.9 million RINs from 2025 RNG production in Q1 2026 at a realized price of approximately $2.42. Self-marketed RINs rose to 12.4 million in Q1 2026, a 25.5% increase versus 9.9 million in Q1 2025. Average realized RIN price was $2.42 (down 1.6% YoY).
GreenWave Joint Venture Contribution
GreenWave matched dispensing capacity with third-party RNG volumes; Montauk received approximately $1.4 million in separated RINs from GreenWave in Q1 2026 and recorded ~$3.3 million of income related to the GreenWave JV in Q1 2026. Sold ~1 million GreenWave-derived RINs for ~$2.4 million revenue.
Refinancing and Liquidity Actions
Entered into a new 5-year senior secured credit facility (up to $200 million); $155 million outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Proceeds used to repay prior debt; interest-only payments required for first two years; maturity March 2031. Expect an additional $45 million draw upon completion of certain project requirements.
Reaffirmed Full-Year 2026 Guidance
Reaffirmed RNG production volumes of 5.8–6.0 million MMBtu with RNG revenues of $175M–$190M. Reaffirmed renewable electricity generation of 195,000–207,000 MWh with related revenues of $33M–$37M.
