Green Impact Partners Announces Fiscal 2023 Results and Highlights Key Accomplishments

By: Newsfile

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2024) - Green Impact Partners Inc. (TSXV: GIP) ("GIP" or the "Company") today reported its results for the year ended December 31, 2023.

GIP is a developer, builder, owner and operator of clean energy and water and solids recycling assets. GIP's success lies in the continuous ability to develop and construct projects with returns significant enough that it can maintain long-term project ownership with minimal financial exposure. Key risks are mitigated through steps such as highly advancing engineering and design prior to construction, entering into lump-sum, fixed-price construction contracts, limiting technology-related risks, and securing long-term contracted feedstock agreements. Key accomplishments in 2023 to advance GIP's business strategy included:

  • Executed a $545 Million Strategic Partnering Agreement with Amber Infrastructure Group ("Amber Infrastructure")
  • Pursuant to the Strategic Partnering Agreement, GIP completed the Sale of 50% of its GreenGas Colorado RNG project (the "Colorado JV") to Amber Infrastructure
  • Closed a $10 Million Private Placement at $10 per share
  • Commenced Commercial Operations at the Colorado JV
  • Executed a Sales Agreement for the Colorado JV Investment Tax Credits
  • Advanced Key Milestones for the Future Energy Park to Move Towards Financial Close and Notice to Proceed
  • Recruited an experienced Chief Operating Officer, Sonya Kirby, to further bolster the advancement of the Company's development projects including the Future Energy Park

"I am proud of the steps we have taken to execute the Future Energy Park and the progress we continue to make towards financing and the start of construction of the project. We have brought the pieces together that we control and are actively and aggressively working with regulators to prepare for financial close," said Jesse Douglas, Chief Executive Officer. "Our ability to execute, de-risk and recycle capital is evident in the execution of the Colorado JV facilities and I look forward to continuing to build on that success."

Revenue: Revenues were $161.2 million for fiscal 2023 compared to $213.7 million in fiscal 2022. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a reduction in volumes into the Company's facilities due to extreme cold weather in January 2023 which impacted customers' production, shut-ins related to the wildfires in May 2023, and lower underlying market prices for the Company's energy product optimization services. This was partially offset by both increased volumes and prices for the Company's fee for service business, namely related to solids disposal and recycling.

Adjusted EBITDA: The $1.1 million reduction in Adjusted EBITDA between December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was primarily a result of the following, excluding adjustments for extraordinary items in each respective period:

  • Gross margins improved by $2.2 million year-over-year as a result of both fee increases to combat inflationary pressures and an increase in solids disposal and recycling volumes in 2023 compared to 2022, which generated higher margins than other services offered.
  • This gross margin increase was partially offset by an aggregate increase of $1.9 million in salaries and wages and selling, general and administrative costs as the Company continued to build out its staffing and infrastructure in order to execute on its near- and medium-term initiatives.
  • An unrealized loss on foreign exchange of $0.3 million compared to a gain of $0.9 million in 2022 resulted in a negative impact to adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million.

Additional Insider Investment

On April 28, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the previously disclosed option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with certain directors of the Company (the "Optionees"). Under the amendment, one of the Optionees has agreed to fund an additional $4.0 million to GIP, available at GIP's sole discretion (the "Additional Option"). The Additional Option has similar terms to the original option except for additional commitment fees. During the term of the Option Agreement, the Company may, at its sole option, repurchase the options from the Optionees by paying all amounts previously funded to the Company including accrued interest at a rate of 1.25% per month plus commitment fees on the Additional Option.

The Option Agreement and the Additional Option constitute "related party transactions" of GIP, within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protections of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as the individuals entering into the agreements are directors of the Company. The Company determined that the transactions are exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance of the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively.

Non-IFRS Measures

The Non-IFRS financial measures used within this news release by the Company are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure, calculated by adding back the impacts of income tax, finance costs, depreciation and amortization to net income (loss) for the period. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Management believes EBITDA is an important performance metric that measures normalized recurring cash flows before changes in non-cash working capital. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain non-operating, non-recurring and non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the earnings and performance of the Company before consideration of capital, financing and tax structures. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. Prior period Adjusted EBITDA has been calculated and presented in accordance with the current period calculation and presentation. Except as otherwise indicated, these financial measures will be calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. For more information with respect to such financial measures, see the "Summary of Non-IFRS Measures" section of GIP's most recent MD&A which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
