“Our second quarter results reflect positive progress on all fronts of our 2025 strategic plan, which I set out early this year in my letter to fellow shareholders,” said Brad Douville, CEO of Greenlane. “That strategy entails development of advanced products, superior project execution, a strong parts and service platform, and royalty revenue, all underpinned by financial discipline with relentless focus on improving adjusted EBITDA results and maintaining healthy cash reserves. This quarter’s financial results indicate that overall we are trending in the right direction, but still have much to accomplish including launch of our next generation landfill gas upgrading product line and establishment of our own manufacturing.”
“Of particular note this quarter is the royalty contract revenue and its corresponding gross margin contribution. Greenlane reached the second anniversary of its technology licensing agreement with a local partner in Brazil which triggered revenue recognition of the agreement’s one-time minimum volume commitment. As a reminder, Greenlane entered into this technology licensing agreement with the primary aim of accelerating growth of production of biomethane in Brazil, the world’s largest sugarcane producing region. This continues to represent one of the most exciting long-term growth opportunities in our portfolio. With over 400 sugar mills, located in agricultural regions far from the Amazon rainforest, the scale of this market is vast and still largely untapped. As with any new market, especially one of this size and complexity, we expect the trajectory to be uneven during the early commercialization phase. However, we believe the long-term potential of sugar mill-based biomethane production in Brazil is significant, and we are well-positioned to participate meaningfully as the sector scales.”
“Regarding the launch of our next generation landfill gas upgrading product line, we’re looking ahead to the upcoming product reveal next month. The new product line will incorporate the contents of our recent patent applications that relate specifically to proprietary system architecture and process enhancements that optimize oxygen and nitrogen removal, two of the most persistent technical barriers to efficient landfill gas upgrading. Our aim is to make RNG projects more accessible and scalable by enabling project owners to enhance revenue generating RNG output from their assets while minimizing upfront investment. Quoting customers and working through the sales cycle to secure orders will follow the product reveal next month. Revenue recognition from new orders is likely to begin in 2026. We believe that the launch of this product line will enable renewed growth driving long-term value and reinforce our leadership in distributed, dispatchable and decarbonized energy production solutions.”
“Our second quarter performance demonstrates clear progress in strengthening the financial foundation of our business,” added Stephanie Mason, CFO of Greenlane. “We delivered $15.1 million in revenue, up 3% from Q2 2024, and generated $3.4 million in Adjusted EBITDA, 23% of revenue, along with $1.4 million in net income and comprehensive income, 9% of revenue. This compares with losses of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in Q2 2024, — representing a significant year-over-year improvement. Our gross margin before amortization was 49%, which includes the impact of the royalty revenue of $3.3 million received under the technology licensing agreement’s one-time minimum volume provision. As noted in our Q1 financials, this amount was previously included in deferred revenue and has a corresponding gross margin excluding amortization of $2.9 million. Excluding this royalty amount, our underlying gross margin was 38%, up meaningfully from 28% in the same period last year, and our Adjusted EBITDA was $0.5 million or 5% of revenue. This improvement reflects the shift toward more profitable areas of the business and cost control, consistent with our strategic focus.”
“We’ve been diligent in maintaining strong cost discipline on a year to date basis,” added Ms. Mason. “G&A expenses are down 28% year-over-year and we’ve delivered $2.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA, representing 11% of sales—further evidence of our ability to translate revenue growth into profitability. Greenlane’s Sales Order Backlog increased significantly, ending the quarter at $26.3 million, up 24% from Q1 2025, reflecting strong order intake momentum. With a healthy cash position and a disciplined approach, we believe Greenlane is well positioned to launch its next generation landfill gas upgrading product line, including manufacturing, and deliver long-term value and capitalize on growing market opportunities.”
The Market Outlook
The RNG industry continues to build positive momentum across markets, applications, and policy frameworks. Recent analysis from the American Gas Foundation shows U.S. RNG production potential has increased by 17% since 2019—enough to supply every U.S. household currently using natural gas, with the potential to reduce over 300 million metric tons of CO₂ annually. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency’s latest outlook reveals that globally, RNG production could scale to 20 times current levels, meeting up to 25% of global natural gas demand if fully realized. These findings reaffirm RNG’s role as a critical pillar of the energy transition and a scalable solution in the push toward decarbonization.
Momentum is also being driven by a significant policy win. The recent passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” in the U.S. preserves a key incentive to support clean fuel production, which will help provide a degree of certainty for RNG project developers to plan, invest, and grow. D3 RIN prices under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard have recently settled around US$2.20 compared with being at or slightly above US$3.00 for most of 2024.
At the application level, demand for RNG is expanding into new, high-growth areas. Recent industry articles highlight how AI data centers are creating 24/7 energy demand profiles that align with RNG’s low-carbon, dispatchable energy attributes. In the transportation sector, Volvo reported a 25% global increase in natural gas-powered truck sales, with RNG-powered fleets offering up to 100% CO₂ reductions compared to diesel. Across these sectors, RNG is proving to be a practical and powerful tool in addressing some of the toughest energy and climate challenges.
In the Brazilian market, an area of opportunity, it is reported that Brazilian biomethane output surged by 73.5% in the second half of 2024, driven by new plant operations and pending regulatory authorizations. Recent facilities in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have boosted national production to approximately 526,040 m³/day. Additional plants under construction—projected to add 800,000 m³/day—are expected to come online by the end of 2026 under government mandates linking RNG supply to pipeline blending requirements.
Management’s Discussion on Financial Results
The public is invited to watch Brad Douville, Chief Executive Officer, and Stephanie Mason, Chief Financial Officer present the results through a video presentation on the Company’s Events and Presentations page located HERE.
SPECIFIED FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management evaluates the Company’s performance using a variety of measures, including “Gross Margin before amortization”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Sales Order Backlog”. The specified financial measures, including non-IFRS measures and supplementary financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than revenue, gross profit or net income. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The Company believes these specified financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. Management uses these specified financial measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that must be recognized under IFRS when analyzing consolidated underlying operating performance, as the excluded items are not necessarily reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance and make comparisons of underlying financial performance between periods difficult. From time to time, the Company may exclude additional items if it believes doing so would result in a more effective analysis of underlying operating performance. The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring.
Note 1 - Gross Margin before amortization is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as gross profit before amortization of intangible assets and property and equipment.
Note 2 - Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, foreign exchange, depreciation and amortization, as well as adjustments for other income (expense), value assigned to options and RSU’s granted, strategic initiatives, transaction costs and non-recurring items.

Note 3 - Sales Order Backlog is a non-IFRS measure and is defined by the Company as the balance of unrecognized revenue from contracted system sales. The Company’s Sales Order Backlog is a snapshot in time which varies from period-to-period. The Sales Order Backlog increases by the value of new system sales contracts and is drawn down over time as these projects progress towards completion with amounts recognized in revenue (by reference to the stage of completion of each contract). Note that Sales Order Backlog does not include parts and service or royalty revenue.
