The updated release reads:

Vertex Energy Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial and Results

Vertex Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTNR) (“Vertex” or the “Company”), a leading specialty refiner and marketer of high-quality refined products, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

The Company will host a conference call to discuss fourth quarter 2023 results today, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time. Details regarding the conference call are included at the end of this release.

FOURTH QUARTER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

• Reported net loss attributable to the Company of ($63.9) million, or ($0.68) per fully-diluted share.
• Reported Adjusted EBITDA of ($35.1) million (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators”, below).
• Continued safe operation of the Company’s Mobile, Alabama refinery (the “Mobile Refinery”) with fourth quarter 2023 conventional throughput of 67,083 barrels per day (bpd), in line with prior guidance.
• Renewable diesel (“RD”) throughput of 3,926 bpd, reflecting Phase One capacity utilization of 49.1%.
• Total cash and cash equivalents of $80.6 million, including restricted cash of $3.6 million and $50 million in additional term loan proceeds received during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

FULL-YEAR 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

• Reported net loss attributable to the Company of ($71.5) million for the full year 2023, versus net loss attributable to the Company of ($4.8) million in 2022.
• Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million for the full-year versus Adjusted EBITDA of $161.0 million for the full year 2022 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators”, below).
• Conventional throughput volumes of 73,734 barrels per day (bpd) for 2023 (98.3% utilization).
• Completion of Phase I of Renewable Diesel conversion project with the launch of Renewables business and Marine Fuels and Logistics business in Mobile, Alabama.

Vertex reported fourth quarter 2023 net loss attributable to the Company of ($63.9) million, or ($0.68) per fully-diluted share, versus net income attributable to the Company of $44.4 million, or $0.56 per fully-diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators”, below) was ($35.1) million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $75.2 million in the prior-year period.

For the full-year 2023, the Company reported a net loss attributable to the Company of ($71.5) million versus ($4.8) million for the full-year 2022, largely attributable to losses in the Renewables segment due to elevated costs for Refined, Bleached and Deodorized (“RBD”) soybean oil feedstock, and increased corporate segment expenses for overhead to support business expansion. The Company also reported Adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million, versus $161.0 million for the full years 2023 and 2022, respectively. Full-year financial results for 2023 include several non-cash items such as inventory valuation adjustments of $6 million, changes in the value of derivative liabilities which amounted to $8 million and a one-time pre-tax gain on the sale of assets of $70.9 million related to the sale of the Heartland facility.

Schedules reconciling the Company’s generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial results, including Adjusted EBITDA and certain key performance indicators, are included later in this release (see also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators”, below).

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Mr. Benjamin P. Cowart, Vertex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In 2023, we focused on establishing new lines of business, expanding our capabilities, and positioning ourselves for growth into new markets. We believe the launch of Vertex Renewables and optimization of feedstocks have positioned the Company for margin opportunities under the new credit regime post-2024. Additionally, the inauguration of our Marine Fuels and Logistics business alongside our Supply and Trading division has enabled us to leverage strategic integration opportunities, enhancing netbacks and capturing additional value for our finished products.” Mr. Cowart continued, “As we move into 2024, our priorities are to increase our cash position, reduce our operating costs, and improve margins.”

MOBILE REFINERY OPERATIONS

Conventional Fuels Refining

Total conventional throughput at the Mobile Refinery was 67,083 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2023. Total production of finished high-value, light products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, represented approximately 66% of total production in the fourth quarter of 2023, vs. 64% in the third quarter of 2023, and in line with management’s original expectations, reflecting a continued successful yield optimization initiative at the Mobile conventional refining facility.

The Mobile Refinery’s conventional operations generated a gross profit of $7.3 million and $29.6 million of fuel gross margin (a Key performance indicator (KPI) discussed below) or $4.79 per barrel during the fourth quarter of 2023, versus generating a gross profit of $89.9 million, and fuel gross margin of $147.0 million, or $20.50 per barrel in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total conventional throughput at the Mobile Refinery was 73,734 bpd for the full year 2023, reflecting capacity utilization of 98%. Total production of finished high-value, light products, such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, represented approximately 63% of total production in 2023, vs. 70% in the nine-month operating period in 2022.

The Mobile Refinery’s conventional operations generated a gross profit of $165.5 million and $318.6 million of fuel gross margin (a KPI discussed below) or $11.84 per barrel during the full year 2023, versus generating a gross profit of $140.9 million, and fuel gross margin of $398.4 million, or $19.93 per barrel in the nine-month operating period in 2022.

Renewable Diesel Facility

Total renewable throughput at the Mobile Renewable Diesel facility was 3,926 bpd in the fourth quarter of 2023. Total production of renewable diesel was 3,786 bpd reflecting a product yield of 96.4%.

The Mobile Renewable Diesel facility operations generated a gross loss of $(17.6) million and $4.4 million of fuel gross margin (a KPI discussed below) or $12.11 per barrel during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Feedstock Supply Strategy Advanced. During the fourth quarter, Vertex continued to advance its alternative feedstock supply strategy. The Company had recently completed the required temporary filings for low carbon fuel standard (“LCFS”) credits at the default carbon intensity (“CI”) score. As previously communicated, the Company expected that the initial default level LCFS credits would be applied to all volumes of renewable diesel produced during the third and fourth quarter of 2023 and to contribute to financial results in the fourth quarter. As anticipated, during the fourth quarter of 2023, Vertex received an initial LCFS payment calculated using the temporary default CI score, resulting in a net payment of $9.6 million.

During the fourth quarter, the Company successfully completed runs to support filing for proprietary carbon intensity scores of LCFS pathways for Tallow. In addition to the testing completed for Soy, distiller’s corn oil (“DCO”) and Canola completed during the third quarter of 2023, the Company has now successfully completed the filings for each of these four feedstocks allowing Vertex to receive the increased credit value available with their lower carbon intensity production as compared to the default temporary values for all future renewable diesel production values.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Mobile Refinery Results Summary ($/millions unless otherwise noted)

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Update

As of December 31, 2023, Vertex had total debt outstanding of $286 million, including $15.2 million in 6.25% Senior Convertible Notes, $196.0 million outstanding on the Company’s Term Loan, finance lease obligations of $68.6 million, and $6.2 million in other obligations. The Company had total cash and equivalents of $80.6 million, including $3.6 million of restricted cash on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, for a net debt position of $205.5 million. The ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA was 12.0 times as of December 31, 2023 (see also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators”, below).

As previously announced on January 2, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with its existing lending group to modify certain terms and conditions of the current term loan agreement. The amended term loan provided an incremental $50.0 million in borrowings, the full amount of which was borrowed upon closing on December 29, 2023 and therefore reflected in Vertex’s year end cash position of $80.6 million.

Vertex management continuously monitors current market conditions to assess expected cash generation and liquidity needs against its available cash position, using the forward crack spreads in the market.

As of the current year-end, the Company believes it has adequate financial flexibility to meet its needs based on the total liquidity position. Furthermore, the Company is currently going through a strategic evaluation process with BofA Securities, which started in October 2023, that may result in further enhancements to its current liquidity options.

Commodity Price Risk Management

During the fourth quarter, Vertex’s commodity price risk management team entered into hedge positions covering approximately 38% of planned diesel production and distillate production for the first quarter of 2024 as discussed below:

PROJECTIONS

The financial projections (the “Projections”) included herein were prepared by Vertex in good faith using assumptions believed to be reasonable. A significant number of assumptions about the operations of the business of Vertex were based, in part, on economic, competitive, and general business conditions prevailing at the time the Projections were developed. Any future changes in these conditions, may materially impact the ability of Vertex to achieve the financial results set forth in the Projections. The Projections are based on numerous assumptions, including realization of the operating strategy of Vertex; industry performance; no material adverse changes in applicable legislation or regulations, or the administration thereof, or generally accepted accounting principles; general business and economic conditions; competition; retention of key management and other key employees; absence of material contingent or unliquidated litigation, indemnity, or other claims; minimal changes in current pricing; static material and equipment pricing; no significant increases in interest rates or inflation; and other matters, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex, and some or all of which may not materialize. The Projections also assume the continued uptime of the Company’s facilities at historical levels and the successful funding of, timely completion of, and successful outcome of, planned capital projects. Additionally, to the extent that the assumptions inherent in the Projections are based upon future business decisions and objectives, they are subject to change. Although the Projections are presented with numerical specificity and are based on reasonable expectations developed by Vertex’s management, the assumptions and estimates underlying the Projections are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be beyond the control of Vertex. Accordingly, the Projections are only estimates and are necessarily speculative in nature. It is expected that some or all of the assumptions in the Projections will not be realized and that actual results will vary from the Projections. Such variations may be material and may increase over time. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Projections. The projected financial information contained herein should not be regarded as a representation or warranty by Vertex, its management, advisors, or any other person that the Projections can or will be achieved. Vertex cautions that the Projections are speculative in nature and based upon subjective decisions and assumptions. As a result, the Projections should not be relied on as necessarily predictive of actual future events.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), in this news release we also present certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures include Adjusted Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, for the Company’s Legacy Refining and Marketing segment, and the total Refining and Marketing segment, as a whole, and Net Long-Term Debt and Ratio of Net Long-Term Debt (collectively, the “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures”). Key performance indicators include Adjusted Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA for Conventional, Renewable and the Mobile Refinery as a whole, and Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput and Adjusted Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput for Conventional, Renewable and the Mobile Refinery as a whole (collectively, the “KPIs”). EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, for continued and discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) from operations plus or minus unrealized gain or losses on hedging activities, Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) costs (mainly related to Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), and inventory adjustments, depreciation and amortization, acquisition costs, gain on change in value of derivative warrant liability, environmental clean-up, stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on sale of assets, interest expense, and certain other unusual or non-recurring charges included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as gross profit (loss) plus or minus unrealized gain or losses on hedging activities and inventory valuation adjustments. Fuel Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Margin, plus production costs, operating expenses and depreciation attributable to cost of revenues and other non-fuel items included in costs of revenues including realized and unrealized gain or losses on hedging activities, RFS costs (mainly related to RINs), inventory valuation adjustments, fuel financing costs and other revenues and cost of sales items. Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput is calculated as fuel gross margin divided by total throughput barrels for the period presented. Operating Expenses Per Barrel of Throughput is defined as total operating expenses divided by total barrels of throughput. RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin is defined as [Fuel Gross Margin minus RIN expense divided by total barrels of throughput. RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput is calculated as RIN Adjusted Fuel Gross Margin divided by total throughput barrels for the period presented. Net Long-Term Debt is long-term debt and lease obligations, adjusted for unamortized discount and deferred financing costs, insurance premiums financed, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Ratio of Net Long-Term Debt is defined as Long-Term Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Each of the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs are discussed in greater detail below. The (a) Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures are “non-U.S. GAAP financial measures”, and (b) the KPIs are, presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. They are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs as supplements to U.S. GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources and to compare our performance relative to our peers. Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. The Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. Non-U.S. GAAP financial information and KPIs similar to the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. The Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs are unaudited, and have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs do not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs represent only a portion of our total operating results; and other companies in this industry may calculate the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should not consider the Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure below. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures and KPIs in conjunction with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures and KPIs, please see the sections titled “Unaudited Reconciliation of Gross Profit (Loss) From Continued and Discontinued Operations to Adjusted Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin, Fuel Gross Margin Per Barrel of Throughput and Operating Expenses Per Barrel of Throughput”, “Unaudited Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss from Continued and Discontinued Operations”, and “Unaudited Reconciliation of Long-Term Debt to Net Long-Term Debt and Net Leverage”, at the end of this release.
