Clean Energy Q4 Revenue Exceeds Expectations at $112.32M
Reports Q4 revenue $112.32M, consensus $101.02M. "Considering the rather volatile market, especially in the transportation sector, we are very pleased to end 2025 in a strong position with our operating results coming in slightly better than expected. This is a testament to Clean Energy's leadership position in the alternative fuel space and the product that we offer - RNG - being seen as the most viable, affordable, and ready-now clean fuel solution for fleets. 2025 saw significant retreats by other alternative solutions, but the number of transit buses, refuse trucks and heavy-duty trucks operating on RNG all grew throughout the year, resulting in the increase in our gallons sold. We were able to prudently deleverage our strong balance sheet using available cash and investments, positioning us well going into 2026. These strong results and an optimistic outlook are due to the talented team at Clean Energy and their dedication to providing a cleaner way forward in the heavy-duty vehicle market."
