A brief outline is provided below that may serve as a springboard for further fundamental research when conducting your own due diligence.
The company
B.C.-based Greenlane is a provider of biogas upgrading systems. Renewable natural gas (RNG) is produced through its three core technologies: water wash, pressure swing adsorption, and membrane separation. Its systems remove impurities and carbon dioxide from biogas created by organic waste at places such as landfills (methane emissions), wastewater treatment plants and farms. The RNG produced can fuel natural gas vehicles and can also be used as an alternative to conventional natural gas.
Investment thesis highlights
Climate change and greenhouse gases. There is increasing demand for clean energy and Greenlane is a pure play in the RNG market. In B.C., the CleanBC plan targets 5 per cent RNG usage by 2022 and 15 per cent by 2030. The province of Qubec targets 1 per cent RNG usage by 2020 and 5 per cent by 2025.
Robust revenue growth. A strong backlog and sales pipeline reflects continued growth potential.
Turning EBITDA positive in 2021.
Build-own-operate model presents opportunities for recurring revenue generation.
Attractive valuation. Room for multiple expansion.
Seasoned management team. The CEO Brad Douville previously worked at Westport Fuel Systems, a manufacturer of clean fuel systems.
Insider ownership. The CEO owns roughly 4 per cent of the shares outstanding. Chairman Wade Nesmith and director Deavid Demers each own approximately 3 per cent of the shares outstanding. Consequently, the interests of company leaders are aligned with the interests of its shareholders.
ESG investing is gaining momentum.
Quarterly earnings
After the market closed on Nov. 17, the company reported its third-quarter financial results. The company reported record revenue of $6.5-million, up 30 per cent year-over-year but shy of the Street’s forecast of $7.7-million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) came in at a loss of $0.2-million, slightly below the consensus estimate of a loss of $0.2-million. Backlog stood at $43.8-million at quarter-end. The share price rallied 2.7 per cent the next day on high volume with over 6.1-million shares traded on Nov. 18.
In the earnings release, President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Douville remarked on the company’s strong growth, “From Q1 [first quarter] 2020, our quarterly revenues have ramped sequentially on average by 50 per cent. This is consistent with the growth rate of our sales order backlog since Q3 [third quarter] of 2019. Sales order backlog growth precedes revenue growth. Our sales pipeline, which feeds our sales order backlog, currently stands at over $690 million and continues to expand year-over-year, which provides more evidence of a growing global focus on the low-carbon energy transition.”
The CEO also provided a positive outlook, saying: “Our signed agreement with the SWEN Impact Fund for Transition announced during the quarter puts Greenlane in an enviable and unique position in the European market, and we remain optimistic on a strong finish to 2020 as we started off the fourth quarter with a new repeat-customer system supply contract for a Brightmark RNG project in Florida. Chevron’s joint venture with Brightmark further demonstrates the increasing pull by the oil majors to secure attractive RNG offtake in the market including making the necessary project investments. With visibility to more than 180 project opportunities globally, proposed or proceeding, Greenlane remains well positioned to capture a growing share of the RNG value chain as a leading technology and solutions provider.”
Dividend policy
The company does not pay its shareholders a dividend. Capital is retained in order to fund future growth opportunities.
