\nEnviva Inc. (NYSE: EVA) (\u201cEnviva,\u201d \u201cwe,\u201d \u201cus,\u201d or \u201cour\u201d) today reported that Hurricane Ian has resulted in minimal impact to operations and provided details on third quarter and fourth quarter of 2022 expectations, along with an update of certain 2022 financial guidance metrics.\n<\/p>\n
\nHighlights:\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nReported that Hurricane Ian caused minimal impact to Enviva\u2019s operations, with all employees confirmed safe\n<\/li>\n
- \nProvided third-quarter 2022 net loss guidance range of $15 million to $10 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $60 million to $65 million\n<\/li>\n
- \nProvided fourth-quarter 2022 net income guidance range of $35 million to $50 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $105 million to $120 million\n<\/li>\n
- \nUpdated full-year 2022 net loss guidance range to $55 million to $35 million, from net loss of $30 million to net income of $10 million, and narrowed adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $240 million to $260 million, from $230 million to $270 million; maintained dividend expectations of $3.62 per share\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\u201cWe are very thankful that all our employees remained safe during Hurricane Ian, and I continue to be proud of how quickly and effectively our team responds to critical events like this, preparing in advance to protect our people, assets, and communities. We expect the storm to have minimal overall financial impact to our results for 2022, with disruption limited to weather-related ship loading delays at three of our deep-water marine terminals, which have since fully resumed normal operations,\u201d said John Keppler, Chairman and CEO. \u201cAs we have described previously and as we have consistently delivered in past years, the second half of the year is our seasonally strongest period, and we are very pleased to see the third quarter shaping up to be an important step up over the second, and looking forward, we expect the fourth quarter to be a record quarter for us.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nKeppler concluded by saying, \u201cThe benefit from the constructive pricing environment for near-term deliveries and inflationary escalators within our long-term agreements, combined with a production and cost profile that seasonally improves in the second half of the year, means that we continue to stay substantially on track to deliver full-year 2022 results in line with our expectations, including leverage being below 4 times as calculated under the terms of our credit facility. As we look forward to 2023, we continue to be very well positioned for robust cash flow growth, even in an environment with potential recessionary pressures.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Hurricane Update<\/b><\/p>\n
\nEnviva prepared in advance of Hurricane Ian to keep employees safe and minimize disruption, most notably at Enviva\u2019s storage and terminaling operations located at the ports of Savannah, Georgia, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Chesapeake, Virginia. As a precaution, the Georgia Ports Authority and the North Carolina State Ports Authority ordered the temporary closure of the Port of Savannah and Port of Wilmington, respectively, which suspended operations at our deep-water marine terminals there. The ports have re-opened and Enviva has resumed normal operations. No production facilities were adversely affected by the storm.\n<\/p>\n

\nSimilar to what was described in Enviva\u2019s most recent earnings release, Enviva expects third-quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA to be over 50% higher than reported results for second-quarter 2022, and that fourth-quarter 2022 is expected to represent over 40% of full-year 2022 adjusted EBITDA. The second half of the year is traditionally Enviva\u2019s seasonally strongest period, as higher plant productivity is achieved through drier, warmer weather and increased asset utilization and throughput rates. Additionally, the production ramp for Enviva\u2019s newest wood pellet production plant in Lucedale, Mississippi continues to progress in line with expectations, and we continue to see increased shipping from Enviva\u2019s new deep-water marine terminal in Pascagoula, Mississippi.\n<\/p>\n
\nAlthough diesel costs remain higher as compared to the second half of 2021, we have mitigated the impact by reducing our procurement radius and thus the freight costs associated with transporting the fiber we source from the forests to our plant locations.\n<\/p>\n
\nAs a result, adjusted gross margin per metric ton (\u201cAGM\/MT\u201d) for the third and fourth quarters of 2022 is projected to be approximately $60.00 and $75.00, respectively, at the midpoints of the guidance ranges, representing increases of approximately 40% and 75%, respectively, from reported results for the second quarter of 2022, as we increasingly benefit from (i) cost improvements, (ii) improved pricing (including new higher-priced contracts and select repricing of legacy contracts), (iii) contract escalators for 2021 inflation now fully embedded in sales prices, and (iv) fixed cost absorption resulting from increased volumes sold. Enviva\u2019s contracts are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars.\n<\/p>\n
\nIn terms of pass-through costs within our contract structure, bunker fuel related to shipping is higher than prior-year periods. From an overall perspective, there is no impact to Enviva\u2019s net results, but revenue for 2022 includes, on average, approximately $10 per metric ton (\u201cMT\u201d) sold related to higher bunker fuel charges passed through to our customers and, as expected, our cost of goods sold is higher by $10 per MT for the same reason. We continue to project durable margin expansion going forward, as headline contract escalators drive an outpaced increase in revenue as compared to the discrete areas of cost increase we have experienced in our cost tower.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cGiven the continuing structural shortage in wood pellet supply that remains in our industry, where long-term demand continues to outstrip supply, there has never been a better time to be in this business and we are excited to be executing on our program of significant, highly accretive capacity expansions,\u201d said Thomas Meth, President. \u201cOur asset growth plans are supported by the highly constructive pricing environment we are in, not only for prompt delivery of cargos, but more importantly for our long-term, fixed price, take-or-pay supply contracts which durably expand the cash flow of our growing, fully contracted operations, and underpin the stable dividend we are paying. We are very excited and remain highly convicted that we will continue our track record of generating significant returns for our investors.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Updated 2022 Guidance Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n
\nGiven financial expectations for the third and fourth quarters of 2022, Enviva is updating full-year 2022 financial guidance for certain metrics.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n \n255.0 – 275.0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
\nNet income guidance for full-year 2022 has been updated to reflect revised expectations primarily related to depreciation and amortization, given increased clarity on the timing of in-service dates related to capital projects.\n<\/p>\n
\nAdjusted EBITDA guidance expectations for full-year 2022 have been narrowed as a result of increased visibility regarding production levels, sales prices, and shipping schedules.\n<\/p>\n
\nDCF guidance expectations for full-year 2022 have been narrowed to account for increased visibility regarding adjusted EBITDA, and higher interest rate impacts.\n<\/p>\n
\nFor full-year 2022, dividend expectations of $3.62 per share represent an increase of approximately 10% over 2021.\n<\/p>\n
\nTotal capital expenditures for 2022 continue to be estimated in the range of $255 million to $275 million, but given the current strong contracting momentum driven by global decarbonization and energy security needs, the timing of construction of our next greenfield plant in Bond, Mississippi could be accelerated, which would lead to incremental growth capital expenditures during fiscal 2022.\n<\/p>\n
About Enviva<\/b><\/p>\n
\nEnviva Inc. (NYSE: EVA) is the world\u2019s largest producer of industrial wood pellets, a renewable and sustainable energy source produced by aggregating a natural resource, wood fiber, and processing it into a transportable form, wood pellets.
