Recent Business Highlights
- Construction at Red
River facility complete with commissioning ongoing and first
production of granular activated carbon (“GAC”) at Red River
expected by end of Q1 2025; on target to achieve first deliveries
in Q1 2025
- Ramp up of Red
River GAC production anticipated to run into H2 2025; expect to
achieve full run rate capacity of 25 million pounds in H2 2025
- Approximately 16
million pounds of our 25 million pound per year nameplate capacity
contracted
- In negotiations to
contract remaining capacity at Red River. Multiple in-situ pilot
tests are underway with customers, a required step before
finalizing contracts, and in-line with the expected ramp-up
schedule
- Potential to
increase Red River’s 25 million pound per year nameplate capacity
by 10-20% still targeted; timing of upside production run-rate
expected to be defined once nameplate capacity is achieved
Management Commentary
“These results reinforce the durability of our
transformation within the foundational PAC business,” said Bob
Rasmus, CEO of Arq. “Our 2024 results show a business which has
been successfully turned around into a cash flow contributor. The
annualized performance of the business has materially improved and
is more profitable. With our third consecutive quarter of positive
Adjusted EBITDA, the direction of travel is extremely positive. I
also believe this is a business which can still be enhanced
further.”
Mr. Rasmus continued, “The capex overrun we
experienced in Q4 was extremely frustrating, and while we actively
look for ways to mitigate this increase, we remain confident that
its impact on our long-term profitability and returns profile
should be negligible.”
“The imminent start of GAC production is of
course a major milestone for us and will represent a huge
achievement for the whole team,” added Mr. Rasmus. “While we want
to remain cautious on the duration of our ramp-up to nameplate
capacity, there should be no doubt we will be trying to get there
as quickly as possible. By H2 2025 we believe we will have a solid,
sustainably profitable PAC business being complimented by a high
growth GAC business, representing our springboard to future
growth.”
Full Year 2024
Results
Revenues totaled $109.0 million for full year
2024, compared to $99.2 million in the prior year. The revenue
increase was primarily driven by improved ASP and product
diversification into higher value end-markets.
Cost of revenues totaled $69.5 million for full
year 2024, compared to $67.3 million in the prior year. While total
costs increased year over year, costs as a percentage of total
revenue were down. This decrease in costs as a percentage of
revenue was related to a decrease in the cost to manufacture our
products, which primarily resulted from decreased variable
production costs on lower production volumes during 2024.
Gross margin was 36.2% for full year 2024,
compared to 32.1% in the prior year. The increase was driven by
higher revenue as detailed above, as well as cost reductions.
Other operating expenses were $41.4 million for
full year 2024, compared to $45.2 million in the prior year. The
reduction was mainly driven by expenses incurred during 2023
relating to the acquisition of Arq Limited ("Legacy Arq") (the "Arq
Acquisition") that did not occur in 2024.
Operating loss totaled ($2.0) million for full
year 2024, compared to an operating loss of ($13.3) million in the
prior year. The reduction in loss was mainly driven by the factors
referenced above.
Interest expense was $3.3 million for full year
2024, compared to $3.0 million in the prior year. The increase was
primarily driven by interest expenses related to the $10 million
term loan with CF Global (the “CFG Loan”) of $2.3 million and $2.0
million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The CFG Loan had a higher
principal balance from the accrual of interest payable (PIK) upon
the termination date of the CFG Loan, which was paid in December
2024.
Income tax benefit was $0.2 million for full
year 2024, compared to an income tax expense of $0.2 million in the
prior year.
Net loss was ($5.1) million, or ($0.14) per
diluted share for full year 2024, compared to Net loss of ($12.2)
million, or ($0.42) per diluted share in the prior year. The
reduction in net loss was driven by higher revenues and a reduction
in costs.
Adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million for full year
2024, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($2.6) million in the
prior year. The increase was mainly driven by our continued focus
on increasing revenues while driving costs down. Additionally, an
addback of Adjusted EBITDA during 2024 related to Loss on
extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million, related to our repayment of
the CFG Loan in December 2024 led to the increase. See the note
below regarding the use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted
EBITDA and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial
measure.
Fourth Quarter
2024 Results
Revenue totaled $27.0 million for Q4 2024,
reflecting a decrease of 4% compared to $28.1 million in the prior
year period. The reduction was driven predominantly by the one-off
benefits delivered in Q4 2023 as a result of take-or-pay
enforcement totaling $4.7 million vs. $1.6 million in the fourth
quarter of 2024. Excluding these one-off items, revenue was up YoY.
ASP for the fourth quarter of 2024 were up approximately 14%
compared to prior year period, marking the 7th consecutive quarter
of double-digit year-over-year percentage growth in ASP.
Costs of revenue totaled $17.2 million for the
fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of approximately 22% compared
to $14.1 million in the prior year period.
Gross margin reduced to 36.3% for the fourth
quarter of 2024, compared to 49.8% in the prior year period. The
reduction in gross margin was driven by higher non-recurring
revenues in Q4 2023 driven primarily by $3.1 million of additional
take or pay enforcement in Q4 2023. Excluding this, Q4 2024 was
largely in-line despite two brief but unplanned outages at our Red
River plant.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
totaled $6.0 million in Q4 2024, compared to $6.5 million in the
prior year period. The reduction of approximately $0.5 million or
8% was primarily driven by a reduction in payroll and benefits as
well as legal and consulting fees as the Company incurred
incremental fees related to the Arq Acquisition in 2023.
Research and development costs totaled $0.7
million in Q4 2024, compared to $1.2 million in the prior year
period. This reduction was primarily due to the Company performing
product qualification testing in the prior year period with
potential lead-adopters as part of its ongoing GAC contracting
process in 2023.
Operating income was $0.4 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024, compared to an operating income of $3.1 million in
the prior year period. The reduction was mainly driven by the
factors referenced above.
Net loss was ($1.3) million in the fourth
quarter of 2024, or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to a net
income of $3.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior
year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.3 million for the fourth
quarter of 2024, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 million in the
prior year period. The reduction was primarily driven by the
significant one-off items discussed above. See note below regarding
the use of the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA and a
reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Capex and Balance Sheet
Capital expenditures totaled $85.2 million for
full year 2024, compared to $27.5 million in the prior year. The
increase vs. the prior year was driven by the ongoing expansion of
our Red River and Corbin facilities. The increase in total 2024
capex from previous guidance of $60 - $70 million was primarily
driven by several factors, including $4 - $5 million related to
contractor errors associated with small-bore piping needs, roughly
$3 - $4 million related to maintaining a timely completion, and
approximately $2 million related to the need for additional
external professional services.
The Company raised approximately $26.7 million
of net equity proceeds in its September 2024 underwritten public
offering of common stock, which, combined with approximately $15
million raised in a private placement of common stock in May 2024,
resulted in year-to-date net equity proceeds raised through Q4 2024
of approximately $41.6 million.
In December 2024, the Company closed a $30
million ABL credit facility (the "ABL Facility") with MidCap
Financial, a leading commercial finance company focused on middle
market transactions. Total available borrowing capacity for the ABL
Facility is determined by a borrowing base calculation based on a
certain percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
inventory.
Initial drawdown from the ABL Facility ($13.8
million as of December 31, 2024) was utilized to refinance Arq’s
outstanding CFG Loan. Going forward, the Company expects that
proceeds from the ABL Facility will be used to finance ongoing
working capital requirements and potential capital expenditures
related to the Company's strategic growth investment at its Red
River plant, as well as to support general corporate purposes.
Cash as of December 31, 2024, including $8.7
million of restricted cash, totaled $22.2 million, compared to
$54.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The reduction was largely
driven by increased expenditures relating to the Red River GAC
expansion.
Total debt, inclusive of financing leases, as of
December 31, 2024, totaled $24.8 million compared to $20.9 million
as of December 31, 2023. The increase was driven by closing the ABL
Facility.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information
presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), we provide certain supplemental financial
measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are
measurements that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA reduced
by the non-cash impact of equity earnings from equity method
investments and other non-cash gains, increased by cash
distributions from equity method investments, other non-cash losses
and non-recurring costs and fees. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should
be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net
income (loss) in accordance with U.S. GAAP as a measure of
performance. See below for a reconciliation from net income (loss),
the nearest U.S. GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA.
We believe that the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
measures are less susceptible to variances that affect our
operating performance. We include these non-GAAP measures because
management uses them in the evaluation of our operating
performance, and believe they help to facilitate comparison of
operating results between periods. We believe the non-GAAP measures
provide useful information to both management and users of the
financial statements by excluding certain expenses, gains, and
losses which can vary widely across different industries or among
companies within the same industry and may not be indicative of
core operating results and business outlook.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
The following table reconciles net income
(loss), our most directly comparable as-reported financial measure
calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA loss).
