Financial report summary
?Risks
- We expect to derive substantially all our revenues from six customers in 2023, four of which are located in Europe. If we fail to continue to diversify our customer base, our results of operations, business and financial position and ability to pay dividends to our stockholders could be materially adversely affected.
- Termination penalties within our off-take contracts may not fully compensate us for our total economic losses.
- Our long-term off-take contracts with our customers may only partially offset certain increases in our costs or preclude us from taking advantage of relatively high wood pellet prices in the broader markets.
- The growth of our business depends in part on locating, developing, and acquiring interests in additional wood pellet production plants and marine terminals at favorable prices.
- We may be unable to make attractive acquisitions, and any acquisitions we make will be subject to substantial risks that could adversely impact our business.
- The Company’s ability to declare and pay dividends, and to repurchase shares, is subject to certain considerations.
- Our business is subject to risks related to legal proceedings and governmental inquiries.
- Changes in laws or government policies, incentives, and taxes related to low-carbon and renewable energy may affect customer demand for our products.
- Challenges to or delays in the issuance of air permits, or our failure to comply with our permits, could impair our operations and ability to expand our production.
- Federal, state, and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to forestry products and the potential for related litigation could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions and delays, which could cause a decline in the demand for our products and negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Changes in the treatment of biomass could adversely impact our business.
- Our operations are subject to stringent environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
- The actions of certain special interest groups could adversely impact our business.
- We may be unable to complete our construction projects on time, and our construction costs could increase to levels that make the return on our investment less than expected.
- The satisfactory delivery of substantially all of our production is dependent on continuous access to infrastructure at our owned, leased, and third-party-operated terminals. Loss of access to our ports of shipment and destination, including through failure of terminal equipment and port closures, could adversely affect our financial results and cash available for dividends.
- Failure to maintain effective quality control systems at our production plants and deep-water marine terminals could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
- Our business is subject to operating hazards and other operational risks, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We may also not be adequately insured against such events.
- We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to maintain and improve our facilities.
- Our business and operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
- We are exposed to construction and development risks related to our projects.
- Significant increases in the cost, or decreases in the availability, of raw materials or sourced wood pellets could result in lower revenue, operating profits, and cash flows, or impede our ability to meet commitments to our customers.
- We are exposed to the credit risk of our contract counterparties, including the customers for our products, and any material nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers could adversely affect our financial results and cash generated from our operations.
- Impacts to the cost or availability of transportation and other infrastructure could reduce our revenues.
- We compete with other wood pellet producers and, if growth in domestic and global demand for wood pellets meets or exceeds management’s expectations, the competition within our industry may grow significantly.
- A portion of our product sales are based on spot prices for wood pellets. Extended periods of low market prices, or high prices at a time that we need to supplement our production, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
- Our level of indebtedness may increase, thereby reducing our financial flexibility.
- Our exposure to risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations, as well as the hedging arrangements we may enter into to mitigate those risks, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
- Our business may suffer if we lose, or are unable to attract and retain, key personnel, or if we are unable to successfully adapt to the new leadership team.
- The international nature of our business subjects us to a number of risks, including foreign exchange risk and unfavorable political, regulatory and tax conditions in foreign countries.
- Labor strikes or work stoppages by our employees could harm our business.
- Borrowings under our senior secured credit facility exposes us to interest rate risk.
- Our business is subject to cybersecurity risks.
- Our business is subject to privacy and data protection legislation compliance risks.
- A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm our business.
- If the price of our common stock fluctuates significantly, your investment could lose value.
- If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our stock, or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.
- Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware law, contain provisions that could discourage acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
- The corporate opportunity provisions in our certificate of incorporation could enable affiliates of ours to benefit from corporate opportunities that might otherwise be available to us.
- Effects of COVID-19 pandemic and other health epidemics and outbreaks, including economic, regulatory, legal, workforce, and cybersecurity risks, could adversely impact our financial condition.
- We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner.
Management Discussion
- Revenue related to product sales for wood pellets produced or procured by us decreased to $306.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $323.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $16.0 million, or 5%, decrease was primarily attributable to a 17% decrease in average sale price per MT, partially offset by a 14% increase in product sales volumes for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
- During the three months ended September 30, 2023 the average sales price per MT was significantly lower than the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by a less favorable pricing environment for biomass during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 biomass spot market prices, as well as the forward curve pricing of certain European indices, exceeded $400 per MT, representing a substantial premium to the current long-term contracted pricing of roughly $200 to $220 per MT across Enviva’s weighted average portfolio, and we captured some of that differential during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Sales volumes of wood pellets produced from our manufacturing plants were 12% greater during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 representing a significant increase in plant utilization compared to the prior year period. However, nearly all sales volumes during the three months ended September 30, 2023 were sold into our long-term off-take contracts.
- Other revenue of $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included $12.0 million in payments to us for canceling or adjusting deliveries under our take-or-pay off-take contracts which was recognized under a breakage model
