Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. Reports Q1 2025 Results
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. ('Verde' or 'the Company') (NASDAQ: VGAS) today reported results for the first quarter 2025. 'We continue to advance our plans to deploy our proprietary liquid fuels processing technology through the development of commercial production plants. During the first quarter, we closed a $50 million equity investment by Cottonmouth into Verde. We also continue to advance FEED for the Permian Basin project, a proposed natural gas-to-gasoline plant to be jointly developed with Cottonmouth utilizing our technology and associated natural gas from Diamondback's operations. In addition to advancing FEED, we have also identified a new site for the Permian Basin project with improved access to key utilities. We also continue to identify and evaluate other potential opportunities to deploy our technology while remaining disciplined with our resources,' said Ernest Miller, CEO of Verde. On January 29, 2025, the Company announced the closing of a $50 million equity investment by Cottonmouth. The investment consisted of the purchase of 12.5 million shares of Verde's Class A common stock by Cottonmouth at a price of $4.00 per share. The investment represented the second investment by Cottonmouth in Verde over the past two years, for a total investment of $70 million, making Cottonmouth the second largest shareholder of Verde. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a net loss of $(2.7) million and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock of $(0.08). The Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to ongoing general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $65.3 million and no debt. Also as of March 31, 2025, the Company had capitalized $1.5 million of FEED costs related to the proposed Permian Basin project, net of amounts reimbursable under the joint development agreement between Verde and Cottonmouth. About Verde Clean Fuels, Inc. Verde is a clean fuels company focused on the deployment of its innovative and proprietary liquid fuels processing technology through development of commercial production plants. Verde's synthesis gas ("syngas")-to-gasoline plus (STG+ ®) process converts syngas, derived from diverse feedstocks, into fully finished liquid fuels that require no additional refining. Verde is currently focused on opportunities to convert associated natural gas into gasoline, which is expected to provide a market for such natural gas with the added potential benefits of flare mitigation and production of gasoline with a lower carbon intensity than conventional gasoline.
