the FVB and GrowTEC RNG facilities. Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, also includes management fees earned from Project Radius related to the development of the project.

Net loss: For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, net loss decreased by $619, or 57%, and $305, or 10%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, due to an increase in revenues and an increase in contingent consideration gain associated with the GrowTEC acquisition and a decrease in general and administrative expenses partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense and finance costs related to the investments made into the FVB RNG facility, an increase in utility costs related to the increase in RNG production, an increase in equity-accounted loss associated with developments costs for Project Radius, and a loss on a write-down of assets held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, adjusted EBITDA increased by $601, or 157%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due an increase in revenues and a decrease in recurring general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a less than proportionate increase in production related direct operating costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, adjusted EBITDA increased by $1,976 or 253%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due an increase in revenues, partially offset by a less than proportionate increase in production related direct operating costs and recurring general and administrative expenses and an increase in an equity-accounted loss associated with Project Radius.

RNG Volumes: RNG production increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year, following the completion of the FVB RNG expansion project in December 2023 and first injection of RNG at GrowTEC in late Q2 2023. In September 2024, FVB set a new monthly RNG production record of 11,186 gigajoules and in October 2024, FVB set a new daily RNG production record of 640 gigajoules in a day.

RNG expansion and development projects: EverGen continues to progress on its core RNG expansion and development projects and regional expansion across Canada.

FVB

FVB continues to ramp up production and set new record daily and monthly RNG production following the successful completion of the FVB RNG expansion project in December 2023 . In June 2024, EverGen announced the execution of a 20-year offtake agreement with FortisBC Energy Inc and a longterm feedstock supply agreement with a waste disposal consolidator. Once the facility is fully rampedup, RNG production is expected to exceed initial expectations of ~160,000 gigajoules of RNG per year. The project was completed for an all-in cost of approximately $13 million.

GrowTEC

In July 2022, EverGen completed the acquisition of a 67% interest in GrowTEC and subsequently entered into construction on the first phase of an RNG expansion project designed to produce ~70,000 gigajoules of RNG per year. Construction and successful commissioning of this project was completed in Q1 2023. First injection of RNG occurred during Q2 2023 , following utility grid connection upon completion of gas quality sampling, and the facility has been producing volumes of up to 220 gigajoules per day. In November 2023, GrowTEC announced that it had entered into a 10-year RNG offtake agreement with Irving Oil Ltd to supply up to 60,000 gigajoules of RNG per year, which provides for significant upside through revenue sharing opportunities and in September 2024, GrowTEC commenced supplying RNG to FortisBC Energy under a 20-year offtake agreement . With the first phase of development complete, EverGen is moving into the next phase of the project. The second phase expands RNG capacity through the addition of preprocessing and depackaging equipment to broaden the range of organic waste the facility can process and is expected to increase production to ~120,000 gigajoules of RNG per year. In October 2024, GrowTEC was awarded up to $2 million of funding from

the Government of Canada to support the development of the second phase of the RNG expansion project, which is expected to commence construction in early-2025.

PSO

In September 2023, EverGen announced that is had entered into a 10-year agreement with the City of Regina to process all of the organic waste pursuant to the City’s Food and Yard Waste program, which is expected to provide up to 24,000 tonnes of organic waste annually . The agreement provides access to a new market, and an opportunity to consolidate various streams of available organic waste in the region that are currently being sent to landfill. PSO will accept waste at a temporary site at the City of Regina’s Landfill, as potential permanent sites are being evaluated. In connection with the development of a permanent site, PSO secured a $7 million term loan to support the construction of an organics processing facility.

PCR

The RNG expansion project at Pacific Coast Renewables is expected to add RNG production of up to ~180,000 gigajoules per year. During the second quarter of 2023, EverGen was awarded funding of $10.5 million from Natural Resources Canada to support the development of the PCR RNG expansion project and a contribution agreement was executed in February 2024. During 2023, EverGen completed upgrades to existing infrastructure, necessary to secure regulatory approvals and optimize the development and construction. The RNG expansion project is currently undergoing development and is expected to commence construction following the receipt of regulatory approvals. In November 2023, EverGen announced the renewed organic waste processing contract with the City of Abbotsford.

Project Radius

In May 2022, EverGen acquired a 50% interest in Project Radius , which is a late-development-stage portfolio of three high-quality, on-farm RNG projects in Ontario. Collectively the projects are capable of producing ~1.7 million gigajoules of RNG per year, with the first project expected to start construction during early-2025.

Financing

In January 2024, EverGen, through GrowTEC, signed a definitive agreement with Farm Credit Canada (“FCC”) for a $3.5 million term loan to support the expansion of the GrowTEC facility (the “GrowTEC Loan”), including the procurement of depackaging equipment and front-end engineering and design work associated with the second phase of the RNG expansion project. EverGen made a drawdown of $3.3 million under this facility in early-2024.

In October 2024, EverGen, through GrowTEC, was awarded up to $2 million in funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, which provides for 40% of capital expenditures in the form of a non-repayable contribution. As at September 30, 2024, GrowTEC has incurred approximately $1.8 million of expected eligible capital expenditure under the program.

PCR and SSS, based in British Columbia, and PSO, based in Saskatchewan, are currently operating as organic waste conversion facilities, which process inbound organics, yard waste and biosolids for a contracted tipping fee and produce high-quality organic compost and soils for farmers, gardeners and developers. PCR is undergoing a planned core RNG expansion project, which will add anaerobic digestion capabilities to produce biogas and will then be upgraded to RNG to feed into FortisBC’s gas network. The expansion is expected to produce up to ~180,000 gigajoules of RNG per year. Construction of the upgrade will begin upon receipt of building and regulatory approvals, which applications were submitted during 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, EverGen was awarded funding of $10.5 million from Natural Resources Canada to support the development of the core RNG expansion project at PCR and the contribution agreement was executed in February 2024. The majority of the revenue currently earned by the organic waste conversion facilities is sourced under long-term contracts with local municipalities and in November 2023 EverGen announced the renewed organic waste processing contract with the City of Abbotsford.

GrowTEC is an operating RNG facility located in Lethbridge, Alberta. Following the acquisition of a 67% interest in the facility in Q3 2022, EverGen oversaw the installation of an RNG upgrader, and related equipment, required to upgrade biogas to produce RNG. The first phase of development was constructed and commissioned during the first quarter of 2023 and is expected to produce ~70,000 gigajoules of RNG annually. Following utility grid connection upon the completion of gas quality sampling, the facility began injecting RNG during the second quarter of 2023 and has been producing daily volumes of up to 220 gigajoules. With the first phase of development complete, EverGen expects to move into the next phase of the project. The project expands RNG capacity through the addition of preprocessing and depackaging equipment, to broaden the range of organic waste the facility can process, and is expected to increase production capacity to ~120,000 gigajoules of RNG per year. In October 2024, EverGen was awarded up to $2 million of funding from the Government of Canada to support the development of the second phase of the expansion project.

In May 2022, EverGen acquired a 50% interest in Project Radius, a late-development stage portfolio of three high-quality, on-farm RNG projects, each capable of producing approximately 550,000 gigajoules of RNG per year and the first project is expected to commence construction in early-2025. EverGen is currently working with its partner on developing Project Radius to advance the projects to the notice-toproceed phase of development.

  • Continuing the growth of EverGen’s project portfolio via strategic acquisitions and consolidation opportunities; and

  • Developing strategic partnerships and advancing the RNG project pipeline.

OUTLOOK

The development of our core RNG expansion and development projects, as described above, demonstrates EverGen’s ability to execute on projects and drive the consolidation and the growth of the RNG industry as we continue to expand our geographical base. EverGen plans continued growth through the pursuit of RNG consolidation opportunities across North America and the further development of projects within its pipeline. This is driven by underlying investments in sustainable operations that contribute to carbon-negative energy production, and positively impact climate change initiatives.

EverGen’s growth, and increased financial performance, relies on the execution of its strategy to acquire, develop, build, own, operate and consolidate a portfolio of RNG, waste to energy and related sustainable infrastructure projects, including:

  • Continuing development and construction of EverGen’s existing portfolio of core RNG expansion projects;

  • Optimizing and expanding existing organic waste processing facilities and RNG feedstock;

  • Securing and optimizing long-term contracts for RNG offtake and feedstock to provide stable longterm low-risk cash flows;

  • Securing municipal feedstock agreements through developed partnerships and vertically integrated operations;

  • Diversifying feedstock suppliers to de-risk inbound revenue streams;

  • Integrating talent, systems and processes across our projects to create efficiencies and best-inclass operations; and

  • Continuing the growth of the project portfolio via the development of our project pipeline through strategic acquisitions and consolidation opportunities.

During the remainder of 2024, EverGen expects to continue to develop its core RNG expansion and development projects through maximizing the production output at FVB and reaching final investment decisions at PCR, the second phase of GrowTEC, and Project Radius, as well as continuing to develop and grow our project portfolio.

We believe that EverGen is uniquely positioned to capitalize on expansion prospects in the RNG market and that the RNG industry is set to grow rapidly over the next several decades based on increased availability of feedstock through population growth and landfill diversion measures, and increased customer demand for lower carbon energy alternatives. We believe that there is growing societal expectations of carbon neutral and circular economy solutions and there is increasing government support for these initiatives.

existing customer base and provides the opportunity for market expansion while fulfilling society’s expectations of directing organic waste for recycling and the production of renewable energy.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

Revenue is generated primarily through contracted RNG sales, tipping fees charged to municipalities and other customers for the disposal of organic waste at EverGen’s facilities, from the sale of high-quality organic compost and soils, from electricity sales, from carbon credit sales and from the provision of management services.

RNG and electricity sales are all attributable to EverGen’s RNG production operating segment. The majority of tipping fees are included in EverGen’s organic waste and composting operating segment, with only a nominal amount included in the RNG production operating segment. Organic compost sales and soil sales are all attributable to EverGen’s organic waste and composting operating segment. The majority of carbon credit sales are included in EverGen’s RNG production operating segment. The Company’s revenue is exposed to fluctuations because of the inherent seasonality of organic waste processing and the sale of organic compost and soil, which is typically lower during winter months.

EverGen Infrastructure Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis All amounts in Canadian $000s, unless otherwise indicated

General and administrative expenses decreased by $330, or 9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods last year, despite increased operating and development activities. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in business development and consulting fees mainly due to the internal transfer of previously outsourced services.

Finance costs

EverGen’s finance costs primarily relate to interest expense recognized on loans payable and the associated interest expense on lease liabilities, which were used to finance the growth in the Company’s asset base.

Finance costs increased by $419, or 172%, and $1,266, or 182%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, primarily due to the completion of the FVB RNG expansion project in late-2023 and the associated reduction in interest capitalized to the project, an increase in total borrowings and increase in interest rates on such borrowings and new leases entered into through Q3-2024 to support growth.

A contingent consideration gain of $826 and $1,500 was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as a result of adjustments of the liability relating to amounts payable in connection with the acquisition of GrowTEC, taking into account the probability and estimated timing of the settlement of the liability. As at September 30. 2024 the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of GrowTEC was remeasured at $nil as the achievement of certain operational milestones associated with the second phase of development of the RNG facility upon acquisition are not expected to be met.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA[(1)]

Management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA key metrics in analyzing operational performance and the Company’s ability to generate cash flow. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is measured as EBITDA adjusted for share-based payment expense, certain other non-cash items, contingent consideration gains and losses and unusual or non-recurring items and Adjusted EBITDA is Consolidated adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the non-controlling interest. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures as defined in the non-GAAP measures section of this MD&A.

EverGen’s EBITDA increased by $1,667 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in revenues, as described above, a contingent consideration gain and a decrease in recurring general and administrative expenses, as described above, partially offset by a less than proportionate to revenue increase in associated production related direct operating expenses.

EverGen’s EBITDA increased by $3,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in revenues, as described above, an increase in contingent consideration gain compared to prior period and a decrease in recurring general administrative expenses, as described above, partially offset by a less than proportionate to revenue increase in associated production related direct operating expenses and an equity-accounted loss, both described above, and a loss on write-down of assets and loss on sale of assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

EverGen’s Adjusted EBITDA of $983, increased by $601, or 157%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year, primarily due an increase in revenues, as described above and a decrease in recurring general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a less than proportionate to revenue increase in production related direct operating costs.

(1) Non-GAAP measure as defined in the Non-GAAP measures section of this MD&A.

The Company’s revenue is exposed to fluctuations as a result of the inherent seasonality of organic waste processing and the sale of organic compost and soil. As a result, the Company typically sees higher revenues, net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA during Q2 and Q3 of a given year, when compared to Q1 and Q4, due to higher incoming organic feedstock and organic compost and soil sales during these periods.

During Q4 2022 and Q1 through Q4 of 2023, FVB RNG production volumes were impacted from planned downtime, with the facility being offline as part of the core RNG expansion project, and unplanned downtime due to equipment availability and installation. RNG production increased following the completion of the FVB RNG expansion project in December 2023 and first injection of RNG at GrowTEC in late Q2 2023.

EverGen Infrastructure Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis All amounts in Canadian $000s, unless otherwise indicated

We consider our capital to consist of shareholders’ equity and debt (including lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the growth and development of its business and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. The Company actively monitors its capital and operational spending activities to ensure that it can meet its future anticipated obligations incurred from normal ongoing operations, which may require the Company to adjust its capital structure. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue additional common shares, repay existing debt, seek additional debt financing or adjust its spending or capital expenditures. There is no assurance that any of these will be on acceptable terms to EverGen.

EverGen’s working capital has improved to a surplus as at September 30, 2024, compared to a deficit as at December 31, 2023. This is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable associated with increased revenues, as described above, an increase in assets held for sale relating to assets identified by EverGen as surplus to the operations of the Company, which are being actively marketed, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments, partially offset by an increase in the current portion of loans payable as amounts become due. EverGen expects that it may need to obtain additional sources of financing, in addition to amounts generated from operations, to meet its obligations and commitments, as well as minimum liquidity requirements under its financial covenants. Additional potential sources of financing that EverGen is actively pursuing or may consider pursuing, include: issuing equity, entering into new debt facilities, borrowing additional amounts under existing facilities, the refinancing or extension of certain borrowings, selling certain assets and seeking joint venture partners for EverGen’s business interests. EverGen is actively pursuing or may pursue the financing initiatives described above, certain of which have been completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and others which it considers probable of completion based on EverGen’s assessment of current conditions and estimated future conditions. EverGen is in various stages of progression on these matters. As at September 30 2024, EverGen was committed to $3.5 million of future capital expenditure, primarily related to the RNG expansion project at PCR. These commitments are expected to be funded by existing liquidity, expected future operating cash flows, additional sources of financing already secured and grant proceeds.

The Company’s net operating cash flows increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in revenues, as described above, partially offset by a less than proportionate associated increase in production related direct operating costs and the timing of changes in non-cash working capital.

EverGen has continued its focus on the investment into its facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with cash used in investing activities associated with property, plant and equipment expenditures relating to the Company’s core RNG expansion projects at GrowTEC, FVB and PCR. Pursuant to its core RNG expansion projects at the facilities, which upon completion are expected to significantly increase EverGen’s RNG production, net income and EBITDA, EverGen completed purchasing capital assets related to the FVB core RNG expansion project. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, EverGen made a capital contribution to Project Radius of $500, following the repayment of the loan principal advanced to Project Radius in the prior year.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily related to property, plant and equipment expenditures associated with the Company’s core RNG expansion projects at GrowTEC, PCR and FVB and capital improvements at PCR. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, a contingent consideration payment was made in relation to the Company’s acquisition of a 67% interest in GrowTEC and EverGen advanced a loan to Project Radius of $500, which was repaid to EverGen in July 2024.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to the drawdown of a term loan facility used to support the upgrade and construction of the FVB RNG facility, advances from related parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and an increase in lease and interest payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 associated with financing growth across the Company, partially offset by cash used as collateral for a letter of credit related to GrowTEC during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the drawdown of the GrowTEC Loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, CHANGES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company’s material accounting policies are included in Note 3 to the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not adopt any new material accounting policies in the current period and there are no new or amended accounting standards or interpretations issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates as the estimation process is inherently uncertain. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant in the circumstances. Revisions to estimates and the resulting effects on the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities are accounted for prospectively.

EverGen Infrastructure Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis All amounts in Canadian $000s, unless otherwise indicated

The Company’s uses of estimates, judgements and assumptions are included in Note 2 to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS

Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, including the maintenance of appropriate information systems, procedures and internal controls, and to ensure that information used internally or disclosed externally, including the financial statements and MD&A, is complete and reliable. Disclosure controls and procedures should be designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the Canadian securities law.

We have designed disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”), as defined in National Instrument 52109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), to provide reasonable assurance that material information is identified and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a timely manner to allow decisions regarding required disclosures.

We have also designed internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

A control system, including EverGen’s disclosure controls and procedures and ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met, and it should not be expected that the disclosure controls and procedures and ICFR will prevent all misstatements and instances of fraud, if any.

During three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes in ICFR that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.

EverGen is not required to certify the design and evaluation of the issuer’s DC&P and ICFR and has not completed such an evaluation and inherent limitations on the ability of the certifying officers to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR for the issuer may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

shareholders of GrowTEC. The lease payments for the initial term are $270 for the first year of the lease and $120 per year for the remaining nine years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred lease expenses of $30 and $90, respectively, relating to this lease (three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 - $30 and $135, respectively).

Effective April 1, 2023, EverGen entered into a loan agreement with the non-controlling interest holders of a subsidiary of the Company to provide proceeds of $710 to the Company to fund the non-controlling interest holders proportionate share of capital expenditure. The loan was repayable over a five-year term and bears interest at a rate of 4.0%. Effective January 1, 2024, the outstanding balance of this loan of $670 was converted into equity of the subsidiary and the loan agreement was terminated.

Effective December 1, 2023, EverGen entered into a loan agreement with the vendors related to the acquisition of GrowTEC to provide proceeds of $1,000 to EverGen primarily to fund the repayment of amounts owing as contingent consideration related to the acquisition of the 67% interest in GrowTEC in July 2022 and the first phase of development of the RNG expansion. The full outstanding balance of the loan is repayable on January 1, 2026, and bears interest at a rate of 10.0%, which EverGen has the option to pay interest in cash, payment-in-kind, or a combination thereof. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, EverGen incurred interest expenses of $25 and $75, respectively, relating to this loan (2023: - $nil).

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

During 2023, EverGen received a performance service guarantee from Export Development Canada to provide a guarantee on a $1,378 letter of credit issued in relation to GrowTEC, which allowed EverGen to release $1,378 of collateral previously held in relation to the letter of credit.

Issues affecting, or with the potential to affect, the Company’s assets, operations and/or reputation, are generally of a strategic nature or are emerging issues that can be identified early and then managed, but occasionally include unforeseen issues that arise unexpectedly and must be managed on an urgent basis. EverGen takes a proactive approach to the identification and management of issues that may affect the Company’s assets, operations and/or reputation and has established consistent and clear policies, procedures, guidelines and responsibilities for issue identification, management and mitigation.

NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS

EverGen uses certain financial measures referred to in this MD&A to quantify its results that are not prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. The following terms: “EBITDA”, “adjusted EBITDA”, and “working capital surplus (deficit)” are not recognized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. EverGen believes that, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, these non-GAAP measurements provide useful information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash, profit and meet financial commitments. EverGen calculates these adjustments consistently from period to period.

These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA key metrics in analyzing operational performance and the Company’s ability to generate cash flow. EBITDA is measured as net income (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is measured as EBITDA adjusted for share-based payment expense, unusual or non-recurring items, contingent consideration gains and losses, and noncontrolling interests in adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to the applicable IFRS Accounting Standards measure can be found under the Results of Operations section of this MD&A.

Working capital surplus (deficit)

Working capital for EverGen is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. The following table provides a reconciliation of working capital, a non-GAAP measure, to the applicable IFRS Accounting Standards measurements for the Company:

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Readers are cautioned that this MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements and/or forward-looking information (collectively, “forward looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and relate to the Company’s current expectations as of the date of this MD&A and views of future events. All statements other than statements of present or historical fact are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements can often, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as “forecast”, “target”, “goal”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “indicate”, “seek”, “believe”, “project”, “predict”, or “likely”, or the negative of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes might affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. In particular, this MD&A contains forward-looking statements including, but not limited to:

  • The timing of the completion of the Company’s core RNG expansion projects, as well as the expected capital costs, RNG production, inbound organic feedstock capacity and increase in net income and EBITDA;

  • EverGen’s plans to grow and develop RNG facilities and construct a platform of sustainable infrastructure and reduce carbon emissions;

  • That EverGen generates sufficient amounts of cash and cash equivalents from operating activities to maintain the current level of operations.

Such statements reflect the current views of EverGen with respect to future events, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause EverGen’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any expected future results, performance or achievement that may be expressed or implied by such forward looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what benefits EverGen will derive therefrom. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of EverGen. These include, but are not limited to, risks associated with renewable energy sources, such as market competition, volatility of prices, currency fluctuations, environmental risk, and competition from other producers and ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and information are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be accurate, as results and future events could differ materially from those expected or estimated in such statements. Forward-looking-statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties. Certain of these risks are included in “Risks and Uncertainties” in this MD&A and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF dated April 22, 2024, which factors should not be considered exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements in this MD&A. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A are made as of the date hereof, and except as may be expressly required by applicable law, EverGen disclaims any intent, obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this MD&A may not be appropriate for other purposes. In the event that subsequent events are reasonably likely to cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements previously disclosed by the Company for a period that is not yet complete, EverGen will provide disclosure on such events and the anticipated impact of such events.
