NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - August 6, 2026 - Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) (“Clean Energy” or the “Company”) today announced its operating results for the second quarter of 2026.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $106.4 million in Q2 2026 compared to $102.6 million in Q2 2025.
- Net loss attributable to Clean Energy for Q2 2026 was $(14.9) million, or $(0.07) per share, on a GAAP (as defined below) basis, compared to $(20.2) million, or $(0.09) per share, for Q2 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) was $16.0 million for Q2 2026, compared to $17.5 million for Q2 2025.
- Cash, Cash Equivalents (less restricted cash) and Short-Term Investments totaled $138.0 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $156.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
Operational and Strategic Highlights
- Announced the appointment of Bart Frabotta as Chief Operating Officer.
- Awarded two separate contracts to design and install liquefied natural gas fueling systems for gas-to-power applications in Puerto Rico. These contracts will provide energy security and resiliency to support local pharmaceutical manufacturing operations as well as fuel a six-megawatt combined heat and power plant.
- In May, we announced the expansion of our RNG station network to six new locations in California, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Michigan and Washington. These new locations allow us to continue expanding our nationwide network to meet the growing demand from heavy-duty truck fleets seeking immediate fuel cost savings and significant emissions reductions by powering their trucks with clean-burning RNG.
- RNG gallons sold of 63.2 million gallons in Q2 2026, a 2.9% increase compared to Q2 2025.
Commentary by Clay Corbus, President and Chief Executive Officer
“Our second quarter results demonstrate continued solid execution across the business. Fuel volumes, including both RNG and conventional natural gas, increased year over year, reflecting ongoing customer investment in and demand for cleaner, lower-carbon fuel. This has been especially true in today’s volatile fuel environment. Having a clean, domestically produced fuel is one of the reasons that we remain on plan through the first half of the year, along with great execution by our team. With $138.0 million in cash and investments at quarter end, we remain focused on serving our fleet customers and expanding the role of domestically supplied RNG as a practical, low-carbon fuel for a variety of applications in this rapidly evolving energy market.”
Summary and Review of Results
The Company’s revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was decreased by $9.6 million of non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges (“Amazon warrant charges”) related to the warrant issued to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC (the “Amazon warrant”), compared to Amazon warrant charges of $17.4 million in Q2 2025. Q2 2026 station construction revenues were $16.0 million versus $7.8 million of station construction revenues in Q2 2025. Revenue for Q2 2026 also included an unrealized loss of $0.2 million on commodity swap and customer fueling contracts relating to the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program, compared to an unrealized loss of $0.5 million in Q2 2025. Q2 2026 renewable identification number (“RIN”) and low carbon fuel standards (“LCFS”) revenues were $14.2 million versus $11.9 million of RIN and LCFS revenues in Q2 2025 reflecting (i) an increase in RIN revenue of $1.0 million primarily due to incremental RIN revenue generated by the Company’s consolidated dairy RNG production project (upstream business), higher price, and higher volume partially offset by a lower share of RIN values and (ii) an increase in LCFS revenue of $1.3 million primarily due to a higher share of LCFS values, higher low-CI volume, higher price, and incremental LCFS revenue generated by the Company’s consolidated dairy RNG production project (upstream business).
Net loss attributable to Clean Energy for Q2 2025 included higher non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges related to the Amazon warrant, and a loss from the Rimere equity method investment, which was disposed of in December 2025.
Non-GAAP income (loss) per share (as defined below) for Q2 2026 was ($0.01), compared to $0.00 per share for Q2 2025.

| Total revenue | $102.6 | $106.4 | $206.4 | $223.9 |
- The Company’s volume-related product revenue primarily consists of sales of RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, and sales of RINs and LCFS Credits in addition to changes in fair value of our derivative instruments.
- Includes non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges associated with the Amazon warrant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, contra-revenue charges recognized in fuel sales revenue were $17.4 million and $34.7 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, contra-revenue charges recognized in fuel sales were $6.5 million and $14.0 million, respectively, and contra-revenue charges recognized in O&M services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were $3.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for a total for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 of $9.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively, of contra-revenue charges.
- The change in fair value of unsettled derivative instruments is related to the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts. The amounts are classified as revenue because the Company’s commodity swap contracts are used to economically offset the risk associated with the diesel-to-natural gas price spread resulting from customer fueling contracts under the Company’s truck financing program.
- RIN Credits includes $1.3 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, related to the Company’s consolidated RNG project.
- LCFS Credits includes $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, related to the Company’s consolidated RNG project
- O&M services revenue includes revenues earned from providing operating and maintenance services on natural gas fueling stations owned by our customers for fixed fees or per gallon fees based on the volume of fuel dispensed at the customer station. If we provide the fuel in addition to the O&M services, we include the revenues associated with providing the fuel in volume-related product revenue.
2026 Outlook
Forward-looking statements notice
Our GAAP net loss for 2026 is expected to range from approximately $(71) million to $(66) million, assuming no unrealized gains or losses on customer contracts relating to the Company’s truck financing program and Amazon warrant charges estimated to be approximately $47 million. Changes in diesel and natural gas market conditions resulting in unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s customer fueling contracts relating to the Company’s truck financing program, and significant variations in the vesting of the Amazon warrant could significantly affect the Company’s estimated GAAP net loss for 2026. Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 is estimated to range from approximately $70 million to $75 million. These expectations exclude the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures, new joint ventures, transactions and other extraordinary events; and macroeconomic conditions and global supply chain issues. Additionally, the expectations regarding 2026 Adjusted EBITDA assume 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 2026 that management deems appropriate to exclude. These expectations are forward-looking statements and are qualified by the statement under “Safe Harbor Statement” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures that it calls non-GAAP income (loss) per share (“non-GAAP income (loss) per share”) and adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Management presents non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes these measures provide meaningful supplemental information about the Company’s performance for the following reasons: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management to assess the Company’s operating performance and make financial and operational decisions; (2) they exclude the effect of items that management believes are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and may obscure trends in the business; and (3) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company’s business. In future quarters, the Company may adjust for other expenditures, charges or gains to present non-GAAP financial measures that the Company’s management believes are indicative of the Company’s core operating performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures are limited as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company’s GAAP results. The Company expects to continue reporting non-GAAP financial measures, adjusting for the items described below (and/or other items that may arise in the future as the Company’s management deems appropriate), and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses, charges or gains like the non-GAAP adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless expressly stated otherwise, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring. Non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to GAAP income (loss), GAAP income (loss) per share or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Non-GAAP Income (Loss) Per Share
Non-GAAP income (loss) per share, which the Company presents as a non-GAAP measure of its performance, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp., plus Amazon warrant charges, plus stock-based compensation expense, plus the accelerated depreciation expense from the abandonment of certain LNG station assets located at 55 Pilot Flying J locations, plus (minus) loss (income) from Rimere equity method investment, plus (minus) loss (income) from the SAFE S.p.A. equity method investment, plus (minus) any loss (gain) from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, plus one-off, non-cash charge to Goodwill, (minus) gain on extinguishment of loan receivable and equity security and minus amortization of investment tax credit from RNG equity method investments, the total of which is divided by the Company’s weighted-average common shares outstanding on a diluted basis. The Company’s management believes excluding non-cash expenses related to the Amazon warrant charges provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s performance because the Amazon warrant charges are measured based upon a fair value determined using a variety of assumptions and estimates, and the Amazon warrant charges do not affect the Company’s operating cash flows related to the delivery and sale of vehicle fuel to its customer. The Company’s management believes excluding non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s performance because of the varying available valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside of management’s control), the subjectivity of the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use, which may obscure trends in a company’s core operating performance. In addition, the Company’s management believes excluding the results from the Rimere equity method investment is useful to investors because Rimere is an investment belonging to the non-core operations of the Company, and its results are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Similarly, the Company’s management believes excluding the non-cash results from the SAFE S.p.A. equity method investment is useful to investors because these charges are not part of or representative of the core operations of the Company. In addition, the Company’s management believes excluding the non-cash loss (gain) from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is useful to investors because the valuation of the derivative instruments is based on a number of subjective assumptions, the amount of the loss or gain is derived from market forces outside of management’s control, and the exclusion of these amounts enables investors to compare the Company’s performance with other companies that do not use, or use different forms of, derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company’s management believes excluding other income relating to the amortization of investment tax credit from RNG equity method investments is useful to investors because such income is not generated from the core operations of the Company and may obscure trends of the Company’s core operations.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company presents as a non-GAAP measure of its performance, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp plus (minus) income tax expense (benefit), plus interest expense (including any losses from the extinguishment of debt), minus interest income, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus the accelerated depreciation expense from the abandonment of certain LNG station assets located at 55 Pilot Flying J locations, plus one-off, non-cash charge to Goodwill, minus gain on extinguishment of loan receivable and equity security, plus Amazon warrant charges, plus stock-based compensation expense, plus (minus) loss (income) from the Rimere equity method investment, plus (minus) loss (income) from the SAFE S.p.A. equity method investment, plus (minus) any loss (gain) from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, plus depreciation and amortization expense from RNG equity method investments, plus interest expense from RNG equity method investments, minus interest income from RNG equity method investments, and minus amortization of investment tax credit from RNG equity method investments and the Company’s consolidated RNG project. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s performance for the same reasons discussed above with respect to non-GAAP income (loss) per share. In addition, management internally uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine elements of executive and employee compensation.
