Update on the Current Business and Biofuels Market

• ReFuels expects its annual growth rate in terms of dispensed volume for FY 2024 to equal or surpass what was achieved in FY 2023
• In the first six calendar months of 2023, European biofuel markets experienced abnormal dislocations caused by the supply of waste feedstocks and waste-based biodiesel from China.
• These excess supplies have depressed the value of waste-based biodiesel in Europe and consequently Renewable Transport Fuel Certificate (RTFC) prices for the past two quarters, with prices now showing signs of recovery.
• The company does not sell all RTFCs generated in the spot market, as it has a hedging strategy that enables RTFCs to be sold up to a year ahead.
• Approximately a third of the RTFCs that are expected to be generated for the financial year 2024 were sold last year when prices were higher.
• The company expects a gradual improvement in the biofuel market fundamentals in Europe going forward, resulting in RTFC prices returning to historical levels.
• Media reports that approximately 50% of biodiesel production capacity in Europe is closed due to negative margins, with further closures expected in the months ahead, unless prices recover.
• EU-wide investigations into the sustainability characteristics of the excess supply of biofuel feedstocks and biodiesel from China are ongoing, with a range of possible outcomes expected to be announced later this year.
• ReFuels' rapidly growing fleet customer base and volume dispensed puts the business in a uniquely strong position to benefit from structural trends in biofuel adoption and is well placed as one of the largest buyers of biomethane for transport in Europe.
