Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2023) - Green Impact Partners (TSXV: GIP) ("GIP" or the "Company") announces third quarter 2023 results and provides an update on its near-term projects.

"As a young and growing company, we deeply value the power of execution, and our team is focused on achieving key milestones," said Jesse Douglas, Chief Executive Officer. "Commercial operations at our GreenGas Colorado facilities are imminent as we finalize the interconnections with the local utility company. In parallel, our team is expertly navigating the complexities of the Future Energy Park, guiding us through regulatory processes, negotiating key contracts, and positioning us for financial close in early 2024. As we approach the close of 2023, I am inspired and humbled by our progress, confident that we are laying the essential groundwork for a transformational year ahead as we commence construction of the Future Energy Park."

Commercial Operations at GreenGas Colorado RNG Facility Imminent ("GreenGas Colorado")

GIP's GreenGas Colorado facilities are fully complete, with all major components commissioned. Commercial operations are imminent as the local utility completes its final interconnection steps to accept the Company's gas production into the pipeline system. GIP continues to optimize performance of the facility to maximize the returns of the lowest possible carbon intensity score and highest energy production. GreenGas Colorado is expected to produce gas at or above the expected run-rate production of 360,000 MMBtu per year, which remains on track to be fully realized through 2024.

Future Energy Park Advances in Preparation for Start of Construction in 2024

GIP continues to advance the Future Energy Park focusing on regulatory, engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") contracts, commercial contracts, and financing. The Company looks forward to working with the City of Calgary to commence construction in 2024. GIP expects financial close as early as the first quarter of 2024.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

¹ See Non-IFRS Measures below

Revenue: Revenue decreased by $9.2 million and $45.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022. The majority of this decrease was due to the lower volumes and lower underlying market prices for the energy products optimized and sold.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 improved over the same period in the prior year mainly due to improved gross margins due to increased fees for service as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was consistent with the same period in the prior year. Gross margins improved year over year, due to the increased fees for service, which were implemented following the first quarter.

Non-IFRS Measures

This news release contains certain financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, these financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned these measures should not be construed as an alternative to net and comprehensive income or to cash from (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities determined in accordance with IFRS, as indicators of our performance. We use non-IFRS measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to assist investors in determining our ability to generate income and cash provided by operating activities and to provide additional information on how these cash resources are used.

Below is a description and composition of each non-IFRS measure disclosed in this news release, together with: (i) the most directly comparable financial measure that is specified, defined and determined in accordance with IFRS to which each non-IFRS measure relates; (ii) an explanation of how each non-IFRS measure provides useful information to investors and the additional purposes for which management uses each non-IFRS measure; and (iii) a quantitative reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure.

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. Income (loss) from Operations before amortization and depreciation 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.
