Green Impact Partners Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results and Key Project Highlights

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2023) - Green Impact Partners (TSXV: GIP) ("GIP" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its renewable natural gas ("RNG") projects and a summary of its second quarter 2023 results.

"We're excited about our efforts to transform waste into energy which is driving remarkable strides toward a more sustainable future and a significant positive effect on the environment," said Jesse Douglas, Chief Executive Officer. "I'm pleased with the headway we're making on our flagship project - the Future Energy Park. We have assembled an exceptional team of architects, engineers, planners, environmental specialists, and landscape architects to build a landmark facility showcasing the technological ingenuity involved in the production of biofuels in the Province of Alberta."

Second Quarter Highlights

Commissioning Activities Approach Completion at GreenGas Colorado RNG Facility ("GreenGas"): Commissioning activities continue at GreenGas Colorado with commercial operations at full plant capacity anticipated in the coming weeks. While the commissioning process has taken longer than anticipated, design and component system testing results and early gas production are favorable with the facility expected to produce gas at or above the expected run-rate production of 360,000 MMBtu per year.

Close of $10 Million Private Placement: In June 2023, GIP closed a private placement of 1,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $10.0 million. The net proceeds of the private placement are earmarked for continued project expenditures on Future Energy Park to allow GIP to commence earthwork activities in the coming weeks, and for general and administrative purposes and working capital requirements until financial close with Amber Infrastructure Group ("Amber Infrastructure") occurs, anticipated in late 2023.

Future Energy Park Achieves Key Regulatory Milestone: In July 2023, GIP received approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission ("AUC") to construct and operate a 30-MW natural gas-fired cogeneration facility for the Future Energy Park. The cogeneration plant will provide high efficiency steam and electricity to the biofuels facility as part of its integrated operations philosophy. GIP is working with the City of Calgary to secure municipal permits and anticipates starting earthworks activities at the project site in the coming weeks.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

¹ See Non-IFRS Measures below

Revenue: Revenues decreased by $29.8 million and $36.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, due to lower volumes and commodity prices as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.0 million and decreased by $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These results are mainly due to a decrease in direct costs because of lower commodity prices and improved margins due to measures implemented by the Company to manage upward cost pressure, offset in the first three months of 2023 by increased electricity and regulatory costs.

Non-IFRS Measures

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. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. Management believes EBITDA is an important performance metric that measures 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.

Management believes that in addition to net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure to enhance investors' understanding of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, how the results are taxed, how the results are impacted by non-cash charges, and charges that are irregular in nature or not reflective of the Company's core operations. Management calculates these adjustments consistently from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to determine the Company's ability to service debt and finance capital expenditures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA as a measure is indicative of how the fundamental business is performing.
