Sean McClain: Thank you, Kevin. In closing, while we don't provide guidance as to our internal expectations on the market price of environmental attributes, including the market price of D3 RINs, we would like to provide our 2026 outlook. It's important to note that our guidance ranges include internal assumptions that may or may not align with current market trends. We expect our RNG production volumes to range between 5.8 and 6.1 million MMBtu, and corresponding RNG revenues to range between $175 and 190 million. We expect renewable electricity production volumes to range between 195 and 207 thousand megawatt hours, and corresponding renewable electricity revenues to range between $35 and 41 million. Included within our renewable electricity segment are our expectations of production and revenues related to the Turkey, North Carolina development project. With that, we will pause for any questions from analysts.

Speaker #3: Your line is open, Betty.
Speaker #4: Thanks . Hi . Good morning Would you be able to discuss what's built into your 2026 RNG production outlook ? Specifically , where is the growth coming from and are you expecting to see any additional volumes from the 15 litre engines
Betty Zhang: Thanks. Hi, good morning. Would you be able to discuss what's built into your 2026 RNG production outlook? Specifically, where is the growth coming from? Are you expecting to see any additional volumes from the 15-liter engines?
Betty Zhang: Thanks. Hi, good morning. Would you be able to discuss what's built into your 2026 RNG production outlook? Specifically, where is the growth coming from? Are you expecting to see any additional volumes from the 15 liter engines?
Speaker #1: Thanks , Betty , for the question . Generally across our portfolio , we're seeing increases across all of our . RNG sites related to our expectations of landfill improvements and our existing well field automation initiatives .
Kevin Van Asdalan: Thanks, Betty, for the question. Generally, across our portfolio, we're seeing increases across all of our RNG sites related to our expectations of landfill improvements in our existing well field automation initiatives. It's a portfolio increase. It's an increase across all the sites of our portfolio.

Speaker #1: And it's a , it's a , it's a portfolio increase . It's an increase across all of sites of our portfolio .
Speaker #2: Betty indicated in our spend for 2025 , there were a number of projects that we took on regarding non-linear maintenance activities . Well , field investments , commissioning of facilities that when you look on a full year basis , the majority of the growth that you get year over year is the full year realization of those initiatives that are not only already complete and paid for , but are also already starting to show benefits as you get into Q4 period of 2025 .
Sean McClain: Betty indicated in our spend for 2025, there were a number of projects that we took on regarding nonlinear maintenance activities, well field investments, and commissioning of facilities, that when you look on a full year basis, the majority of the growth that you get year-over-year is the full year realization of those initiatives that are not only already complete and paid for, but are also already starting to show benefits as you get into the Q4 period of 2025.

Operator: Our next question will be coming from the line of Tim Moore of Clear Street. Your line is open, Tim.
Speaker #5: Thanks, I appreciate it. And great job closing out the fourth quarter. I'm attempting to just triangulate your adjusted EBITDA potential growth.
Tim Moore: Thanks, I appreciate it, and great job closing out Q4. You know, I'm attempting to just triangulate your adjusted EBITDA potential growth. I know you don't specifically guide on it, but, you know, do you think it could grow at twice the percentage rate of revenue growth? Because you are lapping a lot of those CapEx, you know, operating maintenance, preventative maintenance, well, you know, well field enhancements, engines. You're gonna have the RECs inflow from North Carolina, and then, you know, if D3 pricing hangs in there. Just kinda trying to triangulate, you know, maybe how much of that one-off operating, kind of preventative maintenance CapEx won't be repeated at the same amount this year.

Speaker #5: I know you don't specifically guide on it , but you know , do you think it could grow at twice percentage rate of revenue growth because you are lapping a lot of those CapEx , operating maintenance , preventative maintenance ?
Speaker #5: Well , well , field enhancements , engines , and they're going to have the , the RECs inflow from North Carolina . And then , you know , if D3 pricing hangs in there , just kind of trying to triangulate , you know , maybe how much of that one off operating kind of preventative maintenance CapEx won't be repeated at the same amount this year
Speaker #1: Thanks , Tim . Yes . Obviously , we we provide guidance , expectations around production and revenues for our two main operating segments .
Kevin Van Asdalan: Thanks, Tim. As obviously we provide guidance expectations around production and revenues for our two main operating segments. We don't provide external guidance around EBITDA. With the commissioning of our North Carolina turkey project, in Q2 of this year, beginning next month, there will be a significant uplift in EBITDA coming from that location. While we do have well field enhancement initiatives that were started in 2025 at some of our sites that will continue through 2026, there's always that timing and consistency of nonlinear spend that as items roll off in 2025 and aren't re-replicated in 2026, there will be some new spend in 2026 that wasn't in 2025.

Speaker #1: We don't provide external guidance around EBITDA with the commissioning of our North Carolina , Turkey project in the second quarter of this year .
Speaker #1: Next , beginning next month . There will be a significant uplift in EBITDA coming from that location . And we do while we do have well field enhancement initiatives that were started in 2025 at some of our sites that will continue through 2026 , there's always that that timing and consistency of non-linear spend that as items roll off in 2025 and our and aren't replicated in 2026 , there will be some new spend in 2026 that wasn't in 2025 .
Speaker #1: However , I did want to highlight that though , with the increase in our Non-development capital expenditures , specifically at our Bowerman location , that's a , that's a , it's a , it's a zero .
Kevin Van Asdalan: However, I did wanna highlight that though with the increase in our non-development capital expenditures, specifically at our Bowerman location, that's a, it's a zero hour of all the engines and an entire capital expense, you know, as opposed to operating expenses related to normal original equipment manufacturer recommended expenses that won't be incurred in 2026.

Speaker #1: Our of all the engines and an entire capital expense , you know , as opposed to operating expenses related to normal , original , original equipment manufacturer recommended expenses that won't be incurred in 2026 .
Speaker #2: I think , Tim , if I understand the question definitively , you'll see an uptick in cash flows because a number of the initiatives that you're hearing that are non-linear are capitalized as opposed to embedded in your DNA and your operating expense .
Sean McClain: I think, Tim, if I understand the question, definitively you'll see an uptick in cash flows, because a number of the initiatives that you're hearing that are nonlinear are capitalized as opposed to embedded in your G&A and your operating expense. The areas that are expensed, both from OPEX and administrative costs, the areas that you would see things disproportionate as you head into this year, EBITDA was artificially suppressed in 2025 because you had a mismatch between non-capitalizable costs that were in your Turkey, North Carolina developments, but you didn't have any corresponding production and revenue.

Speaker #2: The areas that are expensed , both from opex and administrative costs , the areas that you would see things disproportionate as you head into this year .
Speaker #2: EBITDA was artificially suppressed in 25 because you had a mismatch between non capitalized costs that were in your Turkey North Carolina development , but you didn't have any corresponding production .
Speaker #2: And revenue . The other piece of it is there were a number that we called out throughout the year , a number of non-repeated , non-cash , primarily stock based compensation adjustments that went through your administrative line associated with a number of employee matters that are not going to repeat themselves in 2026 .
Sean McClain: The other piece of it is there were a number that we called out throughout the year, a number of non-repeated, non-cash, primarily stock-based compensation adjustments that went through your administrative line associated with a number of employee matters that are not going to repeat themselves in 2026. Significant enough that you would see that, a disproportionate pickup in EBITDA.

Speaker #6: Hey , guys . Thanks for taking my question . I wanted to ask a follow up on guidance for R&D revenues . This is $15 million range , primarily reflect potential .
Ryan Thingsa: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I wanted to ask a follow-up on guidance for RNG revenues. Does the $15 million range primarily reflect potential RIN price outcomes, or are there other initiatives on the production side or elsewhere that could, you know, drive you towards the higher end of that range?
Ryan Pfingst: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I wanted to ask a follow-up on guidance for RNG revenues. Does the $15 million range primarily reflect potential RIN price outcomes, or are there other initiatives on the production side or elsewhere that could, you know, drive you towards the higher end of that range?
Speaker #6: RIN price outcomes, or are there other initiatives on the production side or elsewhere that could drive you towards a higher end of that range?
Speaker #1: Yep . Thanks for the question . At the beginning of the year , we're trying to cover off various output expectations , not just from our production , but to your point , a potential range of , of , of Rin pricing .
Kevin Van Asdalan: Yep, thanks for the question. At the beginning of the year, we're trying to cover off various patience, not just from our production, but to your point, a potential range of RIN pricing. While we won't have a 2025 RIN hangover, as we've already committed and transferred our vintage 2025 RINs, and we're moving into 2026 commitments, we would anticipate potentially an elongated 2026 period that there's 2025 settlement of RINs from last year, given the shutdown that occurred in the federal government last year.

We're trying to manage, you know, outcomes of our production ranges as well as, you know, though the RIN price has held steady over the last handful of months for either 2025 vintage RINs or 2026 vintage RINs. We're trying to accommodate a wide range of RIN pricing, sitting here with the vast majority of our 2026 RIN availability not yet committed at pricing.
Speaker #1: While we're in not . And while we won't have a 2025 Rin hangover , as we've already committed and transferred our vintage 2025 Rins and we're moving into 2026 commitments , we would anticipate potentially an a long gated 2026 period that there's 2025 settlement of of Rins from last year .
Speaker #1: Given the shutdown that occurred in the federal government last year . So we're trying to manage , you know , outcomes of our of our production ranges as well as , you know , though , the Rin price has held steady over the last handful of months for either 25 vintage Rins or 26 vintage Rins , we're trying to accommodate a wide range of Rin pricing .
