Summary and outlook

Decarbonising Europe's truck fleet
An integrated supplier of biomethane (Bio-CNG), with a growing network of refuelling stations, supported by a blue-chip customer base
Biomethane is the fast-track option for net-zero trucks with ~90% lower emissions and reduced fuel costs compared to diesel
Market leader in the UK with long-term ambition to expand in other European markets
Presence across the biomethane supply chain, including unlocking material value from Renewable Fuel Transport Certificates (RTFCs)

Key highlights
- 14,835 tonnes of renewable biomethane (Bio-CNG) dispensed, up 18%
- Annualised EBITDA run-rate across station portfolio1 of GBP 6.5m; expected to be GBP 12m on delivery of existing customer orders
- Improved margins driven by lower biomethane costs and RTFC prices stabilising around historical average
- New station boosting refuelling capacity to >10,000 HGVs and accelerated demand for Mobile Refuelling Stations
- Bio-CNG is increasingly the preferred solution for decarbonising truck fleets across the UK
- Term sheet signed with funds managed by Foresight Group to simplify the group structure


Certificates (RTFC) awarded and sold2

Summary and outlook

Locking-in certificates at higher prices
- Historical gross profit margin of RTFCs sold over the cost of biomethane purchased have exceeded 30%
- Margin recovery started late 2023 and continued in 2024 on lower biomethane cost and improved RTFC pricing
- 68.6 million RTFCs generated and sold1 in Q3 at a volume-weighted price of 21 pence/RTFC
- Gross profit margin of 22.6% in Q3, up from 6.7% in Q3 last year
- Due to favourable biomethane market conditions, ReFuels is soon fully sourced for 2025 and is now starting to focus on sourcing for 2026
15
- ReFuels sells RTFCs forward as part of its strategy to secure biomethane and lock in positive margins on sourcing activities in advance.
- 1 The recognition of the sale of 13.74 million RTFCs has been deferred at quarter end. These RTFCs are to be sold in the spot market and therefore revenues recognised when the RTFCs are sold, in the fourth quarter.
Biomethane gross profit margins

Normalization adjustments to EBITDA
- EBITDA negative GBP 1 million and adjusted EBITDA negative GBP 0.8 million for the quarter
- Transaction costs of GBP 640k related to the ongoing restructuring transaction of the group
- The business had a one-off exception item in the period of GBP 507k, which has not been adjusted for
- EPC timing adjustments related to completion of the new station in Doncaster which opened in December
Adjusted EBITDA bridge Q3 2025 GBP thousand


Scalable economics as truck fleet grows
- Station portfolio EBITDA of GBP 1.63 million in Q3 2025, up from GBP 1.28 million same period last year
- Truck growth impacted by slow deliveries on existing orders and anticipation of the larger 6x2s becoming available for purchase
- Higher electricity costs have impacted margins in the quarter
- Annualised EBITDA run-rate across the station portfolio of GBP 6.5 million in Q3
- Current truck orders set to drive monthly station EBITDA contribution run-rate to GBP >1 million
Station portfolio EBITDA adjusted (GBP '000)1

- YTD 2025 revenues of GBP 107.5 million compared to GBP 80.7million YTD last year
- Q3 gross profit of GBP 4.2 million reflects increased RTFC volume and margin, and higher dispensed volumes
- Adjusted overhead costs per kilo dispensed was 27 pence in Q3
- Overhead costs per kilo are expected to continue to decline as volumes increase over time
