Forward guidance
Clean Energy Fuels anticipates a GAAP net loss between $(105) million and $(115) million and Adjusted EBITDA between $50 million and $60 million for 2023.
Tailwinds
- Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 is estimated to range from approximately $50 million to $60 million.
- The guidance assumes the calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure in the same manner as described above and adding back the estimated Amazon warrant charges described above and without adjustments for any other items that may arise during 2023 that management deems appropriate to exclude.
- Company will host an investor conference call today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time (1:30 p.m. Pacific).
Headwinds
- GAAP net loss for 2023 is expected to range from approximately $(105) million to $(115) million, assuming no unrealized gains or losses on commodity swap and customer contracts relating to the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program and including Amazon warrant charges estimated to range from $60 million to $70 million.
- Changes in diesel and natural gas market conditions resulting in unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts relating to the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program, and significant variations in the vesting of the Amazon warrant could significantly affect the Company’s estimated GAAP net loss for 2023.
- These expectations exclude the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures, new joint ventures, transactions and other extraordinary events; any lingering negative effects associated directly or indirectly with the COVID-19 pandemic; and macroeconomic conditions and global supply chain issues.
