Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. See the discussion about these statements under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report.

Overview

We are North America’s leading provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market, based on the number of stations operated and the amount of gasoline gallon equivalents (“GGEs”) of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) and conventional natural gas sold. We calculate one GGE to equal 125,000 British Thermal Units (“BTUs”) and, as such, one million BTUs (“MMBTU”) equals eight GGEs. Through our sales of RNG, which is derived from biogenic methane produced by the breakdown of organic waste, we help thousands of vehicles, from airport shuttles to city buses to waste and heavy-duty trucks, reduce their amount of climate-harming greenhouse gases (“GHG”) from 60% to over 400% based on determinations by the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”), depending on the source of the RNG, while also

reducing criteria pollutants such as Nitrogen Oxides, or NOx. RNG is either delivered as compressed natural gas (“CNG”) or liquefied natural gas (“LNG”).

As a clean energy solutions provider, we supply RNG (sourced from third party sources and from our anaerobic digester gas (“ADG”) RNG joint venture project with TotalEnergies S.E. (the “DR JV”) (see Note 4)) and conventional natural gas (sourced from third party suppliers), in the form of CNG and LNG, for medium and heavy-duty vehicles; design and build, as well as operate and maintain (“O&M”), public and private vehicle fueling stations in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada; develop and own dairy anaerobic digester gas (“ADG”) RNG production facilities; sell and service compressors and other equipment used in RNG production and at fueling stations; transport and sell RNG and conventional natural gas via “virtual” natural gas pipelines and interconnects; sell U.S. federal, state and local government credits (collectively, “Environmental Credits”) we generate by selling RNG as a vehicle fuel, including Renewable Identification Numbers (“RIN Credits” or “RINs”) under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard Phase 2 and credits under the California, Oregon, and Washington Low Carbon Fuel Standards (collectively, “LCFS Credits”); and obtain federal, state and local tax credits, grants and incentives.

At present, we see the best use of RNG as a replacement for fossil-based fuel in the transportation sector. We believe the most attractive market for RNG is U.S. heavy-duty Class 8 trucking and, based on information from the American Trucking Association and our own internal estimates, we believe there are approximately 4.1 million Class 8 heavy-duty trucks operating in the U.S. that use over 40 billion gallons of fuel per year. As of December 31, 2023, we deliver RNG to the transportation market through 579 fueling stations we own, operate or supply in 43 states and the District of Columbia in the U.S., including over 200 stations in California. We also own, operate, or supply 24 fueling stations in Canada as of December 31, 2023.

Critically, to generate the valuable Environmental Credits, RNG must be placed in vehicle fuel tanks. We believe our stations and customer relationships allow us to deliver substantially more RNG to vehicle operators than any other participant in the market – we calculate that we have access to more fueling stations and vehicle fleets than all our competitors combined. As of December 31, 2023, we served over 1,000 fleet customers operating over 50,000 vehicles on our fuels.

Longer term, we plan to expand availability of hydrogen fuel for vehicle fleets. As operators deploy more hydrogen powered vehicles, we can modify our fueling stations to reform our RNG and deliver clean hydrogen to customers. We also believe our RNG can be used to generate clean electricity to power electric vehicles, and we have the capability to add electric vehicle charging at our station sites, although the cost of adding electric vehicle charging capacity may be significant.

Impact of COVID-19, Inflation, Labor Shortage, Material Availability and Interest Rate

The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse effect on the volume of our sales, which we saw bottom in the second quarter of 2020. The subsequent surge in cases driven by the omicron variant negatively affected the demand recovery for our vehicle fuels in the first quarter of 2022. Since that time, we have seen improvement in volumes in all customer markets, and the residual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been a significant headwind to our business operations. For more information, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

In recent periods, we have experienced increases in commodity and supply chain costs due to inflationary pressures. Additionally, effects stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic have caused disruptions in labor supply and in supply chains, leading to shortages of certain materials and equipment and higher labor costs that have continued to linger to some extent. The future duration and extent of these pressures and effects are difficult to predict. Although we have partially offset these increased costs through price increases for our products and services, our efforts to manage the current inflationary pressure and to recover inflation-based cost increases from our customers may be hampered by the structure of our contracts as well as the competitive and economic conditions of the markets in which we serve. For more information, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

As of December 31, 2023, the majority of our debt outstanding represents a long-term loan bearing a fixed rate of interest. Changes in market interest rates do not affect the interest expense incurred from this outstanding long-term debt

instrument. However, changes in market interest rates may affect the interest rate and corresponding interest expense on any new issuance of short-term and long-term debt securities. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of this report for more information.

We believe we have sufficient liquidity to support business operations through this volatile period, including total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $263.1 million, excluding current portion of restricted cash, as of December 31, 2023 and $1.8 million of current debt. We have collected nearly all receivables relating to alternative fuel excise tax credits (“AFTC”) generated from 2022 fuel sales in 2023. In addition, as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 being enacted on August 16, 2022 (the “IRA”), AFTC was reinstated and extended for an additional three years, beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $20.9 million in AFTC revenue.

Key Operating Data

In evaluating our operating performance, we focus primarily on: (1) the amount of total fuel volume we sell to our customers with particular focus on RNG volume as a subset of total fuel volume, (2) O&M services volume dispensed at facilities we do not own but where we provide O&M services on a per-gallon or fixed fee basis, (3) our station construction cost of sales, and (4) net income (loss) attributable to us. The following tables present our key operating data for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Certain gallons are included in both fuel and service volumes when the Company sells fuel (product revenue) to a customer and provides maintenance services (service revenue) to the same customer.

2022 – 2023 Key Developments

TotalEnergies Joint Venture. In the first quarter of 2023, the DR JV began producing RNG and made its first injection into the natural gas pipeline; since then, the production of RNG at the DR JV has continued to ramp up. On June 27, 2023, the DR JV issued a capital call for $11.0 million of additional funding, requiring TotalEnergies and the Company each to contribute $5.5 million. On June 28, 2023, the Company contributed $5.5 million and advanced $5.5 million to the DR JV. The $5.5 million advance was subsequently refunded to the Company by the DR JV in December 2023. Funds from the capital call were primarily used to fund required loan reserves and to paydown outstanding liabilities of the DR JV.

bp Joint Venture. The RNG production facility at Drumgoon Dairy was placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2023. This RNG project is designed to supply approximately 1.7 million GGEs of RNG annually when at full capacity. As of December 31, 2023, there were four RNG projects under construction in the bp Joint Venture (“bpJV”) that were nearing substantial completion. All RNG produced from projects in the bpJV will be available to us for sale as vehicle fuel pursuant to our existing marketing agreement with bp.

In connection with the capital call issued by the bpJV in December 2021, on June 30, 2022, we paid the remaining outstanding contribution balance of $51.6 million to the bpJV and satisfied our capital contribution commitment under this capital call. On March 30, 2022, the bpJV issued a capital call in the amount of $76.2 million, and, on September 30, 2022, we and bp each contributed $38.1 million to the bpJV in connection with this capital call. On December 20, 2023, the bpJV issued a capital call in the amount of $135.9 million, and, on December 28, 2023, we and bp each contributed

37

$67.95 million to the bpJV. Proceeds from these capital calls are used to develop ADG RNG projects and to fund bpJV’s working capital needs.

Tourmaline Joint Development. On April 18, 2023, we and Tourmaline Oil Corp. (“Tourmaline”) announced a CAD $70 million Joint Development Agreement to build and operate a network of CNG stations along key highway corridors across Western Canada. Under a 50-50 shared investment, we and Tourmaline expect to construct and commission up to 20 CNG fueling stations over the next five years, allowing heavy-duty trucks and other commercial transportation fleets that operate in the area to transition to the use of CNG, a lower carbon alternative to gasoline and diesel. On June 16, 2023, we entered into a construction, ownership and operation agreement with Tourmaline to jointly own and operate a CNG fueling station located in Edmonton, Alberta. Additional stations are expected in the municipalities of Calgary, Edson, and Grande Prairie in Alberta and Kamloops in British Columbia.

Winter 2022–2023 California Natural Gas Prices. From December 2022 to February 2023, the wholesale prices of natural gas in California spiked to historic levels. The January 2023 monthly index for Southern California settled at $54.31, and Henry Hub settled at $4.71, or 11.5 times higher than the industry benchmark index. December 2022 and February 2023 bookended the historic spike with the Southern California monthly index settled at $15.11 and $13.21, respectively, while Henry Hub settled at $6.71 and $3.11, respectively. These settlement prices reflect the monthly index established during the week leading up to the actual delivery month, also known as the bidweek. Drivers of the price increase were a combination of record below normal temperatures, production freeze-offs, pipeline maintenance, and an accelerated depletion of stored natural gas reserves. As a result, we experienced significantly higher gas supply costs, which affected our fueling stations in California in January 2023 and into February 2023. Although we have partially offset the increased costs through price increases from our customers, not all increased costs were recovered due to the competitive nature and market dynamics of the markets in which we serve. We estimate that the natural gas price spike in California from December 2022 to February 2023 resulted in a reduction in gross profit of approximately $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Since then, we have seen wholesale prices of natural gas in California largely revert to normal levels.

South Fork Dairy Farm Incident. On April 10, 2023, an accident resulted in a fire at the South Fork Dairy farm in Dimmitt, Texas, the location of one of our 100% owned ADG RNG projects under development. The fire killed approximately 18,000 dairy cows and injured one person. Our partner, South Fork Dairy, plans to rebuild the dairy farm and to replenish the dairy cattle. At the time of the incident, we had not commenced onsite construction activities. Rebuilding efforts were initiated in late 2023. Since then, we have begun to prepare for the construction of the ADG RNG project, and construction activities may start as early as the first quarter of 2024. Due to the effects of this incident, we anticipate a delay to the initial planned completion date of this ADG RNG project.

EPA Renewable Fuels Standard Update. On June 21, 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced a final rule to establish the renewable volume obligation (“RVO”) for 2023 through 2025, increasing the RVO demand targets by an average of approximately 30% per year over the next three years. We believe this action by the EPA is constructive to the development and use of RNG as a low-carbon fuel for the transportation sector.

Stonepeak Credit Agreement. On December 12, 2023, we entered into a six-year $300 million senior secured first lien term loan with Stonepeak (the “Stonepeak Credit Agreement”), a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets. The Stonepeak Credit Agreement also provides for a two-year delayed draw term loan commitment of an additional $100 million. In addition to repaying existing loans, the Stonepeak Credit Agreement will provide us with capital for new RNG production facilities, as well as the expansion of our fueling infrastructure targeting the heavy-duty truck market. In connection with this transaction, we issued warrants to Stonepeak (the “Stonepeak Warrant”) providing the right to purchase 10 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share and 10 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share. The Stonepeak Warrant expires on June 15, 2032 and are exercisable at any time after December 12, 2025. See Note 12 for more information about our outstanding debt and Note 13 for additional information about the Stonepeak Warrant.

Riverstone Credit Agreement. On December 22, 2022, we entered into a four-year $150.0 million sustainability-linked senior secured first lien term loan (the “Riverstone Credit Agreement”) with certain affiliates of, or funds managed by, Riverstone Credit Partners L.P., a dedicated credit investment platform managed by Riverstone Holdings LLC

(“Riverstone”) that focuses on energy, power, decarbonization, and infrastructure. This financing provided us with additional capital to execute our RNG growth strategy, which includes the development of negative carbon intensity RNG projects and construction of new RNG fueling stations for transportation sector customers. Proceeds from the term loan will be used, in part, to accelerate our expansion and development of ADG RNG production projects. On December 12, 2023, in connection with the Stonepeak Credit Agreement, we repaid in full the $150.0 million sustainability-linked senior secured first lien term loan, including related accrued and unpaid interest. Upon such payment, the Riverstone Credit Agreement, dated December 22, 2022, was terminated. See Note 12 for more information about our outstanding debt.

NG Advantage Debt Refinancing and Extinguishment. On January 31, 2022, NG Advantage LLC (“NG Advantage”) entered into a second amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Berkshire Bank (the “Berkshire ALA”) pursuant to which Berkshire Bank agreed to extend new term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $14.0 million (collectively, the “Berkshire Term Loan 2”) to NG Advantage. The Berkshire Term Loan 2 bore interest at an annual interest rate of 5% and had a maturity date of January 31, 2027. Payments for interest and principal were due monthly beginning March 1, 2022, with a final payment of remaining principal and interest due on the maturity date. Borrowings under the Berkshire Term Loan 2 were collateralized by NG Advantage’s trailers and station assets, and prepayment of the outstanding principal was permitted and subject to prepayment premiums. NG Advantage used the proceeds from the Berkshire Term Loan 2 to extinguish $11.1 million of existing financing obligations, consisting of $10.4 million in cash payoffs and an application of $0.8 million in deposits held with the former lenders. As a result of the extinguishment, we recognized a $2.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is included in “interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. In connection with the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA, Berkshire Bank released $7.0 million to the Company related to the Company’s limited guaranty under the Berkshire ALA.

​

On December 22, 2022, pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement, NG Advantage fully repaid all outstanding principal balances and related accrued and unpaid interest under the Berkshire ALA and the Berkshire Term Loan 2. In connection with the extinguishments of debt under the Berkshire ALA and the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA, NG Advantage recognized a $1.1 million loss on debt extinguishment, which is included in “interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Plains Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement, on December 22, 2022, the Plains LSA was terminated. Concurrently, the irrevocable standby letter of credit issued to Berkshire Bank in connection with the second amendment to the Berkshire ALA was cancelled. As a result, we deposited $2.0 million, in the form of a certificate of deposit, at PlainsCapital Bank (“Plains”) that serves as a security collateral for the standby letter of credit issued to Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. The $2.0 million is classified as short-term restricted cash and a current asset and is included in “Cash, cash equivalents and current portion of restricted cash” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2023.

AFTC. The IRA reinstated and extended the AFTC incentive for three years through December 31, 2024, beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. Under the extension period, AFTC incentive remains at $0.50 per GGE of CNG and $0.50 per diesel gallon of LNG that we sell as vehicle fuel through 2024.

Fueling Station Equipment Removal. On July 7, 2022, we entered into an amendment to our Liquefied Natural Gas Fueling Station and LNG Master Sales Agreement with Pilot Travel Centers LLC (“Pilot”), dated August 2, 2010, to decommission and remove station equipment of select fueling stations located on Pilot’s premises as agreed to in a phased removal schedule. The removal of the fueling station equipment and site improvements commenced in the third quarter of 2022 and was completed by the end of the third quarter of 2023.

Debt Level and Debt Compliance

As of December 31, 2023, we had total indebtedness, excluding finance lease obligations, of $300.3 million in principal amount, of which $0.0 million is expected to become due in 2024. Certain of the agreements governing our outstanding debt, which are discussed in Note 12, have certain financial and non-financial covenants with which we must comply. As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

Key Trends

Market for RNG and conventional natural gas as a Vehicle Fuel

According to CARB, RNG and conventional natural gas are cleaner than gasoline and diesel fuel based on the GHG emissions produced by vehicles operated by these fuels. Additionally, RNG and conventional natural gas are generally less expensive for vehicle operators than gasoline and diesel on an energy equivalent basis. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, demand for renewable and conventional natural gas fuels in the U.S. has increased in recent years and is expected to continue to increase. We expect our sales of RNG and conventional natural gas to grow as more companies look to operate in an increasingly sustainable way. In addition to pressure from politicians, regulators and non-governmental organizations, the investment community has dramatically increased demands on companies to diminish their contributions to climate change. We believe that RNG is the best tool available today to reduce climate-harming GHG and meet sustainability objectives.

The market for our vehicle fuels, however, is a relatively new and developing market. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict demand for our vehicle fuels, in general and in any specific geographic and customer markets, and consequently our timing and level of investment in particular markets may not be consistent with any growth in demand in these markets. Further, the new and developing nature of the market for our vehicle fuels has led to slow, volatile or unpredictable growth in many sectors. For example, to date, adoption and deployment of natural gas vehicles, both in general and in certain of our key customer markets, including heavy-duty trucking, have been slower than we anticipated.

We believe challenging market conditions are caused by a number of factors, including the following:

To the extent these or other factors have contributed to curtailed demand or slowing growth in the market for our vehicle fuels, we believe they have also contributed to decreases in station construction activity in certain periods, as the success of this activity is dependent on the success of the market for our vehicle fuels generally. Moreover, we believe these factors have materially contributed to the volatility and declines in our stock price and market capitalization in recent years, which has and could in the future lead to decreased cash flows and indications of asset or goodwill impairment. If these adverse macroeconomic conditions and other uncertainties in our industry persist, our financial results and stock price may continue to be adversely affected.

40

Table of Contents

In spite of these market conditions, we believe our key customer markets, including heavy-duty trucking, airports, refuse, and public transit, are well-suited for the adoption of our vehicle fuels because they consume relatively high volumes of fuel, refuel at centralized locations or along well-defined routes and/or are facing increasingly stringent emissions or other environmental requirements. We also expect the lower GHG emissions associated with our RNG vehicle fuel will result in increased demand for this fuel, resulting in our continued delivery of increasing volumes of RNG to our vehicle fleet customers. Additionally, we anticipate that, over time, cities and communities in the U.S. and Canada will follow large cities in Europe in banning diesel vehicles. If these projections materialize, we believe there will be growth in the consumption of our vehicle fuels in our key customer and geographic markets, and our goal is to capitalize on this growth if and when it materializes. In that event, we expect our operating costs and capital expenditures would increase in connection with any growth of our business in the future.

Our Performance

Overview. Our gross revenue mostly consists of volume-related product and service revenue and station construction sales. Our revenue can vary between periods due to a variety of factors, including, among others, the amount and timing of vehicle fuel sales, natural gas commodity prices, station construction sales, sales of Environmental Credits, and recognition of government credits, grants and incentives, such as AFTC. In addition, our volume-related product revenue has been and may continue to be subject to fluctuations as a result of our entry into certain commodity swap arrangements in October 2018, because the changes in fair value of these and certain other derivative instruments, including existing and anticipated fueling contracts under our Zero Now truck financing program, are included in volume-related product revenue. Furthermore, our volume-related product revenue has been affected by the Amazon Warrant Charges resulting from immediate vesting of a portion of the Amazon Warrant and subsequent vesting associated with fuel purchases made by Amazon and its affiliates.

Our cost of sales can also vary between periods due to a variety of factors, including fluctuations in natural gas commodity prices, station construction and labor costs, as well as the other factors that impact our revenue levels described above.

In addition, our performance in certain periods has been affected by transactions or events that have resulted in significant cash or non-cash gains or losses. Such gains or losses may not recur regularly, in the same amounts or at all in future periods and, with respect to non-cash gains and losses, do not impact our liquidity.

These significant fluctuations in our operating results may render period-to-period comparisons less meaningful, especially given the current uncertainties relating to macro-economic growth and inflation trends, and investors in our securities should not rely on the results of one period as an indicator of performance in any other period. Additionally, these fluctuations in our operating results could cause our performance in any period to fall below the financial guidance we may have provided to the public or the estimates and projections of the investment community, which could negatively affect the price of our common stock.

See “Results of Operations” below for more information about our performance in 2022 and 2023.

Fuel Volume. The amount of RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, that we sold increased by 7.6% from 2022 to 2023 primarily due to an increase in economic activities and travel generally and growth in our key customer markets.

The amount of RNG we sell as vehicle fuel, which is delivered in the form of CNG or LNG, has continued to experience robust growth, and increased by 13.9% from 2022 to 2023. We believe the increased demand for RNG is attributable to the belief in the dramatic reduction in the amount of climate-harming greenhouse gas that can be achieved through the use of RNG and pressure from politicians, regulators, non-governmental organizations and the investment community directed at companies to reduce their contributions to GHG emissions. To the extent demand for RNG continues to increase, we expect our joint venture(s) with TotalEnergies and bp and our expanded supply agreements to increase our volume-related product revenue due to increased volumes of RNG vehicle fuel sold and increased generation of RINs and LCFS Credits. In addition, such an increase in RNG demand could also result in more robust competition for supplies of RNG, including from other vehicle fuel providers, gas utilities (which may have distinct advantages in

41

Table of Contents

accessing RNG supply, including potential use of ratepayer funds to fund RNG purchases if approved by a utility’s regulatory commission) and other users and providers. We expect to invest in production projects to help ensure that we have adequate supply of RNG, and we are pursuing development and ownership of livestock waste ADG projects on our own and with partners including TotalEnergies and bp.

Environmental Credits. When we sell RNG and conventional natural gas for use as a vehicle fuel, we are eligible to generate RINs and LCFS Credits, which we then seek to sell to third parties.

The markets for RINs and LCFS Credits have been volatile and unpredictable in recent periods, and the prices for these credits have been subject to significant fluctuations. For example, in 2023, market prices for RINs have been as high as $3.55 and as low as $1.88. Additionally, the value of RINs and LCFS Credits, and consequently the revenue levels we may receive from our sale of these credits, may be adversely affected by changes to the federal and state programs under which these credits are generated and sold, prices for and use of oil, diesel or gasoline, the inclusion of additional qualifying fuels in the programs, increased production levels of other fuels in the programs, or other conditions. Further, our ability to generate revenue from sales of these credits depends on our strict compliance with these federal and state programs, which are complex and can involve a significant degree of judgment. If the agencies that administer and enforce these programs disagree with our judgments, otherwise determine we are not in compliance, conduct reviews of our activities or make changes to the programs, then our ability to generate or sell these credits could be temporarily restricted pending completion of reviews or as a penalty, permanently limited or lost entirely, and we could be subject to fines or other sanctions. Any of these outcomes could force us to purchase credits in the open market to cover any credits we have contracted to sell, retire credits we may have generated but not yet sold, reduce or eliminate a significant revenue stream or incur substantial additional and unplanned expenses.

Risk Management Activities

From time to time, we enter into fuel sales contracts that require us to sell CNG or LNG to our customers at a fixed price. These contracts expose us to the risk that the price of natural gas commodity may increase above the natural gas commodity cost component included in the price at which we are committed to sell the natural gas to our customers.

In an effort to mitigate the volatility of our earnings related to any futures contracts and to reduce our risk related to our fixed price sales contracts, we operate under a hedging policy pursuant to which we purchase futures contracts to hedge our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows related to a particular fixed price contract or bid. Subject to the conditions set forth in the policy, we purchase futures contracts in quantities reasonably expected to effectively hedge our exposure to cash flow variability related to fixed price sales contracts entered into after the date of the policy. Unless otherwise agreed in advance by our Board of Directors and the derivatives committee thereof, we will conduct our futures contract activities and enter into fixed price sales contracts only in accordance with our hedging policy.

Due to the restrictions of our hedging policy, we expect to offer few fixed price sales contracts to our customers. If we do offer a fixed price sales contract, we anticipate including a price component that would cover our estimated cash requirements over the duration of the underlying futures contracts. The amount of this price component will vary based on the anticipated volume and the natural gas price component to be covered under the fixed price sales contract.

In October 2018, in support of our Zero Now truck financing program, we executed two commodity swap contracts with TotalEnergies Gas & Power North America, an affiliate of TotalEnergies, for a total of five million diesel gallons annually from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024. These commodity swap contracts are intended to manage risks related to the diesel-to-natural gas price spread in connection with the natural gas fuel supply commitments we have made and expect to make in our current and anticipated fueling agreements with fleet operators that participate in the Zero Now program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion is based upon our consolidated financial statements included in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates

42

Table of Contents

and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and may result in material effects on our operating results and financial position.

We believe the critical accounting policies discussed below affect our more significant estimates made in preparing our consolidated financial statements. See Notes 1 and 2 for more information about these and our other significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

In general, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve that core principle, a five-step approach is applied: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue allocated to each performance obligation when we satisfy the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition.

We recognize revenue on various products and services.

Our volume-related product revenue consists of sales of RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, AFTC incentives, and sales of RINs and LCFS Credits in addition to Amazon Warrant Charges (as defined in Note 13) and changes in fair value of our derivative instruments.

RNG and conventional natural gas are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined delivery periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to supply natural gas. We recognize fuel revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. We have a right to consideration based on the amount of GGEs of fuel dispensed by the customer and current pricing conditions. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, we have elected the practical expedient which allows us to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component.

Our service revenue consists of sales of O&M and other services. O&M and other services are sold pursuant to contractual commitments over defined performance periods. These contracts typically include a stand-ready obligation to provide O&M and/or other services based on a committed and agreed upon routine maintenance schedule or when and if called upon by the customer.

We recognize O&M and other services revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice. We have a right to consideration based on services rendered or on the amount of GGEs of fuel dispensed by the customer multiplied by an agreed-upon rate. Customers are typically billed on a monthly basis. Since payment terms are less than a year, we have elected the practical expedient which allows us to not assess whether a customer contract has a significant financing component.

We sell RIN Credits and LCFS Credits to third parties that need the credits to comply with federal and state requirements. Revenue is recognized on these credits when there is an agreement in place to monetize the credits at a determinable price and the RNG fuel has been sold. The sales price for some environmental credit transactions may not be determinable in the period during which the RNG was sold as pricing is established in the quarter after the RNG was sold. In these circumstances, revenue from RIN and LCFS credits is recognized once the sales price has been established and therefore is considered determinable.

Changes in fair value of derivative instruments relates to our commodity swap and certain customer fueling contracts under our Zero Now truck financing program. The contracts are measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in our consolidated statements of operations in the period incurred. The amounts are classified as revenue because our commodity swap contracts are used to economically offset the risk associated with the diesel-to-natural gas price spread resulting from existing and anticipated customer fueling contracts under our Zero Now truck financing program.

Amazon Warrant Charges are determined based on the grant date fair value of the award, and the associated non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges, which are recorded as a reduction of revenue, are recognized as the customer purchases fuel and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved. See Note 1 for additional information.

Station construction contracts are generally short-term, except for certain larger and more complex stations, which can take up to 24 months to complete. For most of our station construction contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide a significant service of integrating a complex set of tasks and components into a single station. Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation.

We recognize station construction revenue over time as we perform under these contracts because of the continual transfer of control of the goods to the customer, who typically controls the work in process. Revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation and is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill our obligations under these contracts typically include labor, materials and subcontractors’ costs, other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs.

Refinements of estimates to account for changing conditions and new developments are continuous and characteristic of the process. Many factors that can affect contract profitability may change during the performance period of the contract, including differing site conditions, the availability of skilled contract labor, the performance of major suppliers and subcontractors, and unexpected changes in material costs. Because a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of these contracts, the contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the cost-to-cost measure of progress are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period when such estimates are revised as discussed above. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become known.

In certain contracts with our customers, we agree to provide multiple goods or services, including construction of and sale of a station, O&M services, and sale of fuel to the customer. These contracts have multiple performance obligations because the promise to transfer each separate good or service is separately identifiable and distinct. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue recognized in one or more periods.

We allocate the contract price to each performance obligation using best estimates of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for fuel and O&M services is observable standalone sales, and the primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price for station construction sales is the expected cost plus a margin approach because we sell customized customer-specific solutions. Under this approach, we forecast expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for the good or service.

AFTC is considered variable consideration because it can either increase or decrease the transaction price based on volumes of vehicle fuel sold. Additionally, AFTC is not recognized as revenue until it is authorized through federal legislation, which also provides a determinable price. We recognize revenue in the period the credit is authorized through federal legislation.

We collect and remit taxes assessed by various governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions between us and our customers. These taxes may include, among others, fuel, sales and value-added taxes. We report the collection of these taxes on a net basis and they are excluded from revenue and cost of sales.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the tax bases and financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when management

determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the need for a valuation analysis, we use estimates involving a high degree of judgment including projected future U.S. GAAP income and the amounts and estimated timing of the reversal of any deferred tax assets and liabilities.

We have a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not sustainable upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefit in income tax expense.

We operate within multiple domestic and foreign taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. Although we believe that adequate consideration has been given to these issues, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these issues could be significantly different than originally estimated.

Fair Value Measurements

We have established a framework that follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the framework, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as of the measurement date. The framework also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Our significant uses of fair value measurements include but are not limited to the valuation of commodity swaps, customer contracts, warrants, and available-for-sale debt securities, all of which require significant judgment.

Results of Operations

The discussions below compare our results of operations in 2023 and 2022. Historical results are not indicative of the results to be expected in the current period or any future period.

Table of Contents

2023 Compared to 2022

The table below presents, for each period, each line item of our statement of operations as a percentage of our total revenue for the period. The narrative that follows provides a comparative discussion of certain of these line items between periods.

​

Product revenue. Product revenue for 2023 decreased by $3.2 million to $369.8 million, representing 87.0% of total revenue, compared to $373.0 million, representing 88.8% of total revenue, for 2022. The decrease was primarily due to (1) a $36.3 million increase in non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges relating to the Amazon Warrant driven by higher customer fuel purchases, (2) a decrease in RIN revenue of $8.8 million primarily resulting from lower average RIN prices and lower share of RIN values in 2023 when compared to those in 2022, (3) a decrease in AFTC revenue of $0.9 million due to increased AFTC revenue sharing with customers, (4) a decrease in LCFS revenue of $2.7 million primarily resulting from lower average LCFS prices in 2023 when compared to those in 2022 and increased LCFS revenue sharing with customers, and (5) a change in fair value of our commodity swap and customer contracts entered into in connection with our Zero Now truck financing program, as we recognized an unrealized loss of $0.2 million in 2023 compared to an unrealized gain of $0.5 million in 2022. The decrease in product revenue between periods was partially offset by (1) an increase in station construction sales of $4.1 million due to increased construction activities and (2) an increase of $42.1 million in product revenue due to higher average prices on fuel sold driven in-part by the significant rise in prices of natural gas in California during January and February 2023 and an increase in total GGEs of fuel sold.

Service revenue. Service revenue for 2023 increased $8.1 million to $55.3 million, representing 13.0% of total revenue, compared to $47.2 million, representing 11.2% of total revenue, for 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in GGEs serviced in 2023 when compared to those in 2022 and an increase in management fee revenue from our joint ventures with TotalEnergies and bp.

Product cost of sales. Product cost of sales for 2023 increased by $30.2 million to $309.9 million, representing 72.9% of total revenue, from $279.7 million, representing 66.6% of total revenue, in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in average prices of natural gas driven in-part by the significant rise in cost of natural gas in California during

46

Table of Contents

January and February 2023, an increase in GGEs of fuel sold, and a $5.1 million increase in the cost of station construction due to increased construction activities.

Service cost of sales. Service cost of sales for 2023 increased by $5.7 million to $33.7 million, representing 7.9% of total revenue, from $28.0 million, representing 6.7% of total revenue, in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in GGEs serviced in 2023 when compared to those serviced in 2022.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million to $112.3 million in 2023, from $109.5 million in 2022. The increase was mostly driven by a $6.6 million increase in salaries and benefits as a result of higher headcount and a $2.2 million increase in general business, administrative and information technology related expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to current year vesting and forfeiture of equity awards granted in prior years, partially offset by equity awards granted in the current year, and a $2.9 million increase in business interruption insurance recoveries relating to the Pickens Plant, which was down for repairs during 2023.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $9.0 million to $45.7 million in 2023, from $54.7 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of accelerated depreciation expense and asset retirement obligation charges in 2022 in connection with the Pilot fueling station equipment removal (see Note 10), whereas no such accelerated depreciation expense and asset retirement obligation charges were recognized in 2023.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $16.6 million to $22.9 million in 2023 from $6.3 million in 2022, primarily due to (1) higher outstanding indebtedness and higher average interest rates on outstanding indebtedness in 2023, (2) an increase in amortization of debt discount and issuance costs due to our debt under the Riverstone Credit Agreement, and (3) an increase in debt extinguishment loss relating to the extinguishment of the Sustainability-Linked Term Loan pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement (see Note 12).

Interest income. Interest income increased by $7.7 million to $11.1 million in 2023 from $3.4 million in 2022, primarily due to higher average interest rates between periods earned on the Company’s short-term investments.

Loss from equity method investments. Loss from equity method investments increased by $7.7 million to $12.5 million in 2023 from $4.8 million in 2022, due to the operating results of SAFE&CEC S.r.l. and our joint venture(s) with TotalEnergies and bp, and our other equity method investees.

Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax benefit was $0.4 million in 2023 compared to income tax expense of $0.2 million in 2022. Income tax expense and/or benefit is primarily related to deferred taxes associated with goodwill and the Company’s expected state tax expense.

Loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. In 2023 and 2022, we recorded a gain of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the noncontrolling interest in the net loss of NG Advantage. The noncontrolling interest in NG Advantage represents a 6.7% minority interest that was held by third parties during both the 2023 and 2022 periods.

Seasonality and Inflation

To some extent, we experience seasonality in our results of operations. Some of our customers tend to consume more of our vehicle fuels in the summer months, when buses and other fleet vehicles use more fuel to power their air conditioning systems, which typically translate to an increased volume of fuel sold in the summer months. In addition, natural gas commodity prices tend to be higher in the fall and winter months, due to increased overall demand for natural gas for heating during these periods.

Historically, inflation has not significantly affected our operating results; however, costs for construction, repairs, maintenance, electricity and insurance are all subject to inflationary pressures, which could affect our ability to maintain our stations adequately, build new stations, expand our existing facilities or pursue additional facilities, and could materially impact our operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations through operating cash flows, the sale or maturity of investments or the acquisition of additional funds through capital management. Our financial position and liquidity are, and will continue to be, influenced by a variety of factors, including the level of our outstanding indebtedness and the principal and interest we are obligated to pay on our indebtedness; the amount and timing of any capital calls related to the joint venture(s) with TotalEnergies and/or bp, or any other joint venture we may enter into in the future; the amount and timing of any additional debt or equity financing we may pursue; our capital expenditure requirements; any merger, divestiture or acquisition activity; and our ability to generate cash flows from our operations. We expect cash provided by our operating activities to fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our operating results and the factors that affect these results, including the amount and timing of our vehicle fuel sales, station construction sales, sales of RINs and LCFS Credits and recognition of government credits, grants and incentives, if any; fluctuations in commodity, station construction and labor costs; environmental credit prices; variations in the fair value of certain of our derivative instruments that are recorded in revenue; and the amount and timing of our billing, collections and liability payments.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $43.8 million in 2023, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $66.7 million in 2022. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2023 was primarily attributable to higher cash outlays for the procurement of natural gas, partially offset by higher cash receipts due to higher sale price of natural gas in 2023. Additionally, higher net cash interest payments and changes in working capital resulting from the timing of cash receipts, accruals, billings and payments of cash contributed to the decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2023 when compared to that in 2022.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $202.0 million in 2023, compared to cash used in investing activities of $148.5 million in 2022. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2023 was primarily attributable to a $62.6 million net increase in capital expenditures on property and equipment and on RNG production projects, a $3.6 million increase in net purchases of short-term investments in 2023 when compared to 2022, and a $3.9 million decrease in net cash receipts from sale of certain assets of subsidiary. This increase was partially offset by a $16.3 million decrease in equity contributions to our joint ventures with bp and TotalEnergies.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $139.1 million in 2023, compared to $101.6 million provided by financing activities in 2022. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in 2023 was primarily attributable to the net proceeds received from the issuance of debt in connection with the Stonepeak Credit Agreement (Note 12) and a decrease in cash outlays for common stock repurchases, partially offset by the net cash paid relating to the extinguishment of our Sustainability-Linked Term Loan pursuant to the Riverstone Credit Agreement and a decrease in cash proceeds from exercise of stock options in connection with our equity performance incentive plan.

Capital Expenditures, Indebtedness and Other Uses of Cash

We require cash to fund our capital expenditures, operating expenses and working capital and other requirements, including costs associated with fuel sales; outlays for the design and construction of new fueling stations; additions or other modifications to existing fueling stations; RNG production facilities; debt repayments and repurchases; repurchases of common stock; purchases of heavy-duty trucks that use our fuels; additions or modifications of LNG production facilities; supporting our operations, including maintenance and improvements of our infrastructure; supporting our sales and marketing activities, including support of legislative and regulatory initiatives; financing vehicles for our customers; any investments in other entities; any mergers or acquisitions, including acquisitions to expand our RNG production capacity; pursuing market expansion as opportunities arise, including geographically and to new customer markets; and to fund other activities or pursuits and for other general corporate purposes.

Our business plan calls for approximately $60.0 million in capital expenditures in 2024. These capital expenditures primarily relate to the construction of fueling stations, IT software and equipment and LNG plant costs, and we expect to fund these expenditures primarily through cash on hand and cash generated from operations. Further, in 2024, we anticipate

deploying up to approximately $100.0 million to develop ADG RNG production facilities. As of December 31, 2023, we have invested $273.1 million in the development of ADG RNG production facilities, which includes $238.1 million contributed to our joint ventures.

We had total indebtedness, consisting of our debt and finance leases, of approximately $303.9 million in principal amount as of December 31, 2023, of which approximately $1.8 million, $1.0 million, $0.6 million, $0.4 million, $0.1 million and $300.0 million are expected to become due in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and thereafter, respectively. Based on our outstanding indebtedness and applicable interest rates as of December 31, 2023, we expect our total interest payment obligations relating to our indebtedness to be approximately $29.2 million for the year ending December 31, 2024. We plan to and believe we are able to make all expected principal and interest payments in the next 12 months.

We also have indebtedness, including the amount representing interest, from our operating leases of approximately $151.5 million as of December 31, 2023, of which approximately $15.1 million, $15.4 million, $15.4 million, $15.4 million, $14.5 million and $75.7 million are expected to become due in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and thereafter, respectively.

We intend to make payments under our various debt instruments when due and pursue opportunities for earlier repayment and/or refinancing if and when these opportunities arise. Although we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to repay our debt coming due in the next 12 months, we may elect to suspend, or limit repurchases under, our share repurchase program or pursue alternatives, such as refinancing, or debt or equity offerings, to increase our cash management flexibility.

Sources of Cash

Historically, our principal sources of liquidity have consisted of cash on hand, cash provided by our operations, including, if available, AFTC and other government credits, grants and incentives, cash provided by financing activities, and sales of assets. As of December 31, 2023, excluding current portion of restricted cash, we had total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $263.1 million, compared to $263.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

We expect cash provided by our operating activities to fluctuate depending on our operating results, which can be affected by the factors described above, as well as the other factors described in this MD&A and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this report.

Subject to the following paragraph, we believe our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and anticipated cash provided by our operating and financing activities will satisfy our business requirements for at least the 12 months following the date of this report. Subsequent to that period, we may need to raise additional capital to fund any planned or unanticipated capital expenditures, investments, debt repayments, share repurchases or other expenses that we cannot fund through cash on-hand, cash provided by our operations or other sources. Moreover, we may use our cash resources faster than we predict due to unexpected expenditures or higher-than-expected expenses due to unfavorable macroeconomic events, including inflationary pressures or otherwise, in which case we may need to seek capital from alternative sources sooner than we anticipate. The timing and necessity of any future capital raise would depend on various factors, including our rate and volume of, and prices for, natural gas fuel sales and other volume-related activity, new station construction, debt repayments (either before or at maturity) and any potential mergers, acquisitions, investments, divestitures or other strategic relationships we may pursue, as well as the other factors that affect our revenue and expense levels as described in this MD&A and elsewhere in this report.

If we deploy additional capital to develop ADG RNG production facilities and fueling stations to support contracted RNG fueling volume, we could be required to raise additional capital.

We may raise additional capital through one or more sources, including, among others, obtaining equity capital, including through offerings of our common stock or other securities, obtaining new or restructuring existing debt, selling assets, or any combination of these or other potential sources of capital. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, on terms that are favorable to us or our stockholders or at all. Any inability to raise necessary capital may impair our ability to develop and maintain fueling infrastructure, invest in strategic transactions or acquisitions or repay our outstanding indebtedness and may reduce our ability to support and build our business and generate sustained or increased revenue.

Material Cash Requirements

The table below presents our material cash requirements, including the scheduled maturities of our contractual obligations and our commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2023. This table excludes certain potential cash requirements because they may involve future cash payments that are considered uncertain and cannot be estimated because they vary based upon future conditions; however, the exclusion of these obligations should not be construed as an implication that they are immaterial, as they could significantly affect our short- and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs depending on a variety of future events, facts and conditions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2023, we had the following off-balance sheet arrangements that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources:

We provide surety bonds primarily for construction contracts in the ordinary course of our business, as a form of guarantee. No liability has been recorded in connection with our surety bonds because, based on historical experience and available information, we do not believe it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid under these arrangements for which we will not be reimbursed.

As of December 31, 2023, we had quarterly fixed-price natural gas purchase contracts with take-or-pay commitments extending through September 2024.

In addition, as of December 31, 2023, we had a fixed supply arrangement with UPS for the supply and sale of 170.0 million GGEs of RNG through March 2026.
