~159% year-to-date growth in sales order backlog reflects successful contract wins~
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – August 25, 2020 Greenlane Renewables Inc. (“Greenlane” or the “Company”) (TSXV: GRN), today announced its interim financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. For further information on these results, please see Greenlane’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis. All amounts are in Canadian dollars and in accordance with IFRS.
Second Quarter Highlights Include:
Revenue of $4.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 representing a 45% increase from $2.9 million reported in the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 (note one).
Gross profit of $1.1 million, or 26% of revenue.
Sales order backlog (note two) of $41.9 million, a 159% increase from the $16.2 million reported on December 31, 2019. The increase reflects the successful conversion and movement of sales pipeline opportunities into sales contracts.
Sales pipeline (note three) valued at approximately $694 million as at June 30, 2020, versus $680 million as at December 31, 2019 and $450 million as at December 31, 2018. The sales pipeline reflects both the expansion of the project bid universe and the movement of successful contract wins into the sales order backlog.
Net loss of $0.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.5 million* in the three month period ended June 30, 2020.
Cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million compared with $6.7 million as at March 31, 2020. The cash balance excludes the $1.3 million in gross proceeds from warrant exercises and the framework agreement with Pressure Technologies plc to reduce outstanding debt, both announced subsequent to quarter end.
“We successfully grew our revenue this quarter by 45% on a sequential basis while facing some tough marketplace conditions as a result of the COVID19 backdrop,” said Brad Douville, President and CEO of Greenlane. “We also achieved a third consecutive quarter of rapid growth of our sales order backlog adding $21 million from the recent and significant contract wins for dairy farm projects in California. Our focus remains on a strong second half of 2020. This trend continues so far in the third quarter highlighted by a recent contract win in Brazil, and the launch of our joint venture with SWEN Impact Fund for Transition to accelerate deployment of Greenlane’s biogas upgrading systems and solutions in Europe.”
As a reminder, the Company’s revenues are largely derived from a relatively small number of large biogas upgrader orders accounted for on a stage of completion basis over typically a nine to eighteen-month period. Timing of new contract awards varies due to customer-related factors such as finalizing technical specifications and securing project funding, permits and RNG off-take and feedstock agreements. Some projects have built-in pause periods to allow customers to complete concurrent activities such as civil work. As a result, the Company’s revenue varies from month to month and quarter-to-quarter.
The Market Outlook
The energy transition continues to gain momentum and support as global economies chart a recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that incorporates varying levels of green initiatives, including from unlikely participants. BP, one of the largest integrated global oil and gas companies, announced this year it intends to be a net zero carbon company by 2050 or sooner by drastically cutting the carbon intensity of the products it sells and increasing the proportion of its investment into non-oil and gas businesses as it reinvents itself. S&P Global Platts Analytics, a global data analytics and research firm, recently highlighted RNG as an emerging tool for the decarbonization of energy production and subsequent consumption in both the transportation and natural gas utility sectors.
RNG continues to gain traction with natural gas utilities in their quest to remain competitive with the electricity grid relative to driving renewable content and decarbonized energy offerings. Several large utilities in the United States have recently made RNG-specific announcements: Xcel Energy has announced an initiative to explore RNG options for up to 1.8 million natural gas customers, Chesapeake Utilities is set to inject RNG directly into its East Coast gas distribution pipeline system, and Duke Energy will be injecting RNG produced from dairy farms in the southeastern United States into its national gas distribution pipeline system.
Greenlane, with visibility to more than 100 new projects, remains well positioned to capture a growing share of the RNG value chain as a leading industry provider of biogas upgrading and project development solutions.
NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management evaluates the Company’s performance using a variety of measures, including “operating profit” and “Adjusted EBITDA”. The non-IFRS measures should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than revenue or net loss. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. Management uses these and other non-IFRS financial measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that must be recognized under IFRS when analyzing consolidated underlying operating performance, as the excluded items are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance and make comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. From time to time, the Company may exclude additional items if it believes doing so would result in a more effective analysis of underlying operating performance. The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring.

Note one - Comparison to revenue in the same period of last year is not made because of a partial quarter, with the Company completing its qualifying transaction on June 3, 2019.
Note two - Order backlog refers to the balance of unrecognized revenue from contracted projects, where such revenue is recognized over time as completion of projects progress.
Note three - Greenlane maintains a sales pipeline of prospective projects that it updates regularly based on quote activity to ensure that it is reflective of sales opportunities that can convert into orders within approximately a rolling 24 month time horizon. Not all of these potential projects will proceed or proceed within the expected timeframe and not all of the projects that do proceed will be awarded to Greenlane. Additions to the amount in the sales pipeline come from situations where the Company provides a quote on a prospective project and reductions to the sales pipeline arise when the Company loses a prospective project to a competitor, a project does not proceed or, where a quote in the pipeline is converted to Greenlane’s sales order backlog.

Umsatz +45% auf 4,2 Millionen US-Dollar im Vergleich zu Q1
Auftragsbestand von 41,9 Millionen US-Dollar, ein Anstieg +159% gegenüber den 16,2 Millionen US-Dollar vom 31. Dezember 2019
Nettoverlust von 0,9 Millionen US-Dollar und ein bereinigter EBITDA-Verlust von 0,5 Millionen US-Dollar in Q2.
Die Zahlen bewegen sich auf jeden Fall in die richtige RIchtung ;)
Also man merkt auch bei XEBEC Q2 das immer mehr Geld in den RNG Markt fließt. Wenn man nun bedenkt das GRN aktuell eine Marktkapitalisierung von ca. 36mio CAD$ oder 27Mio€ (laut tradingview) hat und das mit dem Umsatz ins Verhältnis setzt, dann ist das hier sehr preiswert. Meine persönliche Schätzung ist, der Umsatz 2020 wird irgendwo zwischen 12-18 Mio € liegen und dann ist das hier so gut wie geschenkt. Bei XEBEC liegt da (und das zurecht) viel mehr Geld. Nur das Verhältnis von Marktkapitalisierung und Umsatz von GRN wird sich früher oder später an das von XEBEC annähern müssen.
Das übliche Spiel hier...
Trotzdem Viel Erfolg weiterhin, ich schaue dann im November wieder vorbei ;-)
Ich wette, das bis ende diesen Monat der Kurs insgesamt weiter oben steht, an die 0,3
Ebenfalls heute zu sehen, ein guter Start in der kanadischen Börse, und die deutschen ziehen mit dem Kurs dann nur nach.
Auf lange Sicht wie auch im Market Call mit Bruce Campell besprochen, wird GRN bald gut Rückenwind bekommen. Ebenfalls hatte er das Wachstum und auch die Investitionen der Firma und das daraus entstehende Wachstum positiv gelobt. Auf lange Sicht ist der Preis aktuell sehr günstig.
@KB22
ich rede nicht von den letzten Wochen sondern immer dann wenn es "gute Nachrichten" gibt, dann achte mal drauf wo der Umsatz und Der Kurs gemacht wird...aber nicht so wichtig, ich habe auch länger gebraucht um das Geschäfstmodell zu verstehen. Aber zum Glück noch früh genug um auszusteigen.
Also nix für ungut.
Tschüß
Und da sieht es eigentlich nach einem Trend nach oben aus, seit die Zahlen raus sind.
Und für die Investoren hier... man kauft meist eine Aktie an der Heimatbörse da dort meist der grösste Umsatz gemacht wird... sprich auch aus Deutschland kauft man in diesem Fall in Kanada... Viel spass auch beim warten dass diese Aktie zündet.... wird sie meines Erachtens nie... könnte langsam nach oben gehen aber es gibt andere viel interessantere Aktien zum investieren...
Ob sie wirklich krass zündet hängt natürlich von vielen Faktoren ab. Ich denke, dass viele die Aktie, auch dank Xebec, im Blick haben. Um dann wirklich Geld in die Hand zu nehmen und zu investieren, fehlt dem ein oder anderen noch den Beweis für eine nachhaltige Wirtschaftlichkeit. Ein paar Aufträge sind gut, aber kommen diese auch regelmäßig? Wächst der Markt wirklich wie prognostiziert? Was machen die großen Firmen? Warum investieren große Firmen noch nicht deutlich in RNG? usw... alles Fragen die berechtigt sind und in naher Zukunft in die ein oder andere Richtung geklärt werden. Und natürlich gibt es Aktien bei welchen man vielleicht schneller und mehr Geld raus holen kann.
Meiner Meinung nach wird der RNG Sektor weiter wachsen und damit auch Greenlane. Und auch große Firmen denken um, erst diese Woche hat BP im Jahresbericht bekannt gegeben, dass der Ölmarkt nicht mehr wachsen wird und sie deshalb mehr in erneuerbare Energien investieren werden. Darunter zählt auch der Bereich von Gas und Elektrizität, welche unter anderen auch aus RNG gewonnen werden kann, somit CO2-neutral wäre. Sobald weitere Aufträge kommen und oder weiterer Kooperationen bekannt gegeben werden, werden hier viele Einsteigen. Der Kurs wird deutlich ansteigen und im Anschluss werden noch mehr aufspringen aus Sorge hier was zu verpassen, weil es ja schon der Vorläufer Xebec gibt, der zeigt wohin es gehen kann.
Wenn das Management und die Firma weiterhin gut arbeiten, wird es passieren. Die Frage ist dann nur wann das sein wird.
Interessanter Wert und in meinen Augen mit Potential. Mal schauen was draus wird. Natürlich nur eine kleine Zocker posi
