EverGen Infrastructure Reports Q4 & Year End 2024 Results
- 87
EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (“EverGen” or the “Company”) (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), today reported audited financial results as at and for Q4 2024. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Financial Highlights:
- 37% increase in revenues of $3.2 million for Q4 2024 from $2.3 million for Q4 2023 and 69% increase in fiscal year revenues to $14.2 million from $8..4 million in fiscal year 2023, primarily driven by increased Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) production following the completion of the Fraser Valley Biogas RNG expansion project in Q4-2023, the commencement of RNG production at GrowTEC in late Q2-2023, and increased pricing at Pacific Coast Renewables. Revenues also increased with the addition of management fees earned from Project Radius related to large scale project development.
- Despite an increase in revenues and reducing proportionate direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses, net loss of $14.4 million and $17.1 million for Q4 and fiscal year 2024 increased from $1.8 million and $4.7 million for Q4 and fiscal year 2023, primarily due to non-cash impairment losses. These non-cash impairment losses associated with Sea to Sky Soils Composting Inc. and GrowTEC and a decrease in insurance proceeds received, higher direct operating costs from weather- and fire-related disruptions, increased finance costs tied to the Fraser Valley Biogas investment, and equity-accounted losses related to Project Radius, were partially offset by increased revenues and lower general and administrative expenses.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million for Q4 2024 compared to $nil for Q4 2023, and a 269% increase to $2.9 million for fiscal year 2024 from $0.8 million for fiscal year 2023, primarily due to increased revenues and lower recurring general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher production-related direct operating costs and reduced insurance proceeds.

Non-GAAP Measures
EverGen uses certain financial measures referred to in this press release to quantify its results that are not prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. The terms EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and working capital are not recognized measures under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. EverGen believes that, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, the non-GAAP measurement provide useful information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash, profitability and meet financial commitments. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for share-based payment expenses, unusual or non-recurring items, contingent consideration gains and losses and non-controlling interests in adjusted EBITDA. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
