Second Quarter Events & Updates

These milestones bolster our immediate growth potential and enhance our competitive positioning enabling us to show leadership in accelerating build out of renewable gas infrastructure in Canada”.

  • Grew EverGen’s of production and development projects through the acquisition of Western Canada’s first renewable natural gas ("RNG") producing facility, Fraser Valley BioGas Ltd (“FVB”) . The FVB facility currently produces over 80,000 gigajoules of RNG annually – enough to heat 1,000 homes for a year - and has supplied RNG to FortisBC Energy Inc. (“Fortis BC”) for the last decade. FVB combines anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading to produce RNG, primarily by converting agricultural waste from local dairy farms.

  • On April 29, 2021 EverGen’s wholly owned subsidiary Net Zero Waste Abbotsford announced it was entering onto a 20-year offtake agreement with FortisBC. Under the agreement, FortisBC will purchase up to 173,000 gigajoules of RNG annually for injection into its natural gas system, upon completion of an anaerobic digester project at EverGen’s existing Net Zero Waste Abbotsford composting and organic processing facility in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Once constructed this project will convert municipal and commercial organic waste into enough energy to meet the needs of more than 1,900 homes.

  • Subsequent to the acquisition of Fraser Valley Biogas; we immediately began optimization activities that have resulted in increased RNG production at the facility.

  • Subsequent to June 30, 2020, EverGen via its wholly owned subsidiary Sea to Sky Soils entered into a 5 year feedstock agreement with a local municipal entity for a material tonnage of organic waste.

  • Subsequent to June 30, 2021, EverGen completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 3,080,000 units of the Company at a price of $6.50 per Offered Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,020,000 . The Company’s common shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “EVGN” and commenced trading on August 4, 2021.

Financial Highlights Q2, 2021
The consolidated results of EverGen in the second quarter of 2021 demonstrate a strong operating performance compared to it’s first year. The incorporation of the revenues and associated operating costs of the RNG business at FVB has further boosted the financial results. Additionally, the impact of the global pandemic on the composting businesses has been to increase the seasonal demand for residential and commercial compost and soil products while also increasing the volumes of organic feedstock from municipal and other sources. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, operating profits are significantly increased largely as a result of the seasonal demand for compost products during the late spring and early summer months.

  • Reported Revenue $3.3 million in the second quarter. Revenue increased by $1.8 million, 111% over the first quarter related to seasonal demand for compost driving an increase in sales volumes together with the incorporation of RNG revenues from FVB.

  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1.9m in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.6m from the first quarter primarily due to non-recurring professional, legal and consulting fees relating to the integration of acquisitions, implementation of processes and in preparation of readying EverGen as a reporting issuer in Q1.

  • Gross Profit of $2.5m, 74% of revenue. Gross Profit in Q1 was $1m and 62% of revenue, the increase being further reflective of the strong seasonal performance of consolidated composting operations and the addition of RNG sales.
