Good day, everyone, and thank you for participating in today's conference call. I would like to turn the call over to Mr. John Cerulli as he provides some important cautions regarding forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial measures contained in the earnings materials or made on this call. John, please go ahead.
Thank you, and good day, everyone. Welcome to Montauk Renewables' earnings conference call to review the full-year 2025 financial and operating results and developments. I'm John Cerulli, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary at Montauk. Joining me today are Sean McClain, Montauk's President and Chief Executive Officer, to discuss business developments, and Kevin Van Aslen, Chief Financial Officer, to discuss our full year 2025 financial and operating results. At this time, I would like to direct your attention to our forward-looking disclosure statement. During this call, certain comments we make constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, involve a number of assumptions risks, and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risk factors and uncertainties are further detailed in Montauk Renewable's SEC filings. Our remarks today may also include non-GAAP financial measures. We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA metrics because we believe the measures assist investors in analyzing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles. Additional details regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations to the most direct comparable GAAP financial measures, can be found in our slide presentation and in our full year 2025 earnings press release issued and followed March 11, 2026, which is available on our website at ir.montaukrenovables.com. After our remarks, we will open the call to questions from analysts. We ask that you please keep to one question to accommodate as many questions as possible. And with that, I will turn the call over to Sean.
Thank you, John. Good day, everyone, and thank you for joining our call. I am pleased to report that despite the sale of one of our RNG facilities in 2024, we achieved growth in our 2025 RNG production. During 2025, our PECO project received its final tranche of increased contractual feedstock. Processed through our expanded digestion capacity, inlet feedstock averaged approximately 458,000 gallons per day, 17% in excess of our contractual minimum. Given these higher inlet averages, we are currently evaluating additional development expansion opportunities to ensure the beneficial processing of all available feedstock clients. 2025 RNG production from our expanded, redesigned facility was approximately 31.8% higher when compared to the previous year. To maximize the economic benefit from our increased production and from future development opportunities, we have negotiated the termination of the earn-out obligation related to the acquisition of the PECO facility. During 2025, we successfully completed the construction and commissioning of our second RNG processing facility at the Apex landfill. Though we continue to have excess available capacity with the second facility commissioned as the landfill host increases its waste intake, we produced approximately 7.8% more RNG in 2025 as compared to the previous year. Our GreenWave Energy Partners joint venture continues to address the limited capacity of RNG utilization for transportation by offering third-party RNG volumes access to exclusive, unique, and proprietary transportation pathways. During 2025, GreenWave matched available dispensing capacity with available third-party RNG volumes, separated RINs, and distributed RINs to the partners of GreenWave. Through our ownership percentage of GreenWave, we received 706,000 RINs and recorded income of $1.5 million during 2025. In September 2025, a joint motion was filed with the North Carolina Utilities Commission by various entities seeking to modify and delay certain aspects of the clean energy and energy portfolio standards, specifically the portfolio standards relating to swine wrecks. In October 2025, MOTOC filed response comments to the joint motion with the NCUC requesting that they grant modifications or delays only to individual power suppliers that have demonstrated need, require power suppliers that have not achieved 100% compliance in 2025 to apply any cumulatively acquired swine recs to the supplier's unsatisfied 2025 pro rata obligation, and modify the swine rec set aside for 2026 and beyond to match the requirement originally set by North Carolina in 2018. In January 2026, the NCUC denied the request for waivers and determined that the parties must use bank recs to meet 2025 compliance targets with the ability to use solar recs to fill any of their compliance shortage. Additionally, the compliance obligations for those utilities filing the September 2025 joint motion continue to increase through 2029. We are pleased to report that we have begun the commissioning of our Turkey, North Carolina facility. At first phase capacity, we anticipate the ability to process feedstock from approximately 400 to 450,000 hog spaces, which equates to approximately 35,000 tons of annual waste collection. We have entered into long-term agreements with over 40 separate farming locations to provide access to waste in support of our expected processing needs of our first phase of the project. We continue to install collection equipment at these separate farms to access the waste and intend to contract with additional farms to secure feedback sources for future expansion. We currently expect the first phase capital investment to be approximately $200 million and expect our production and revenue generation activities to commence in April 2026. In advance of our commercial operations, feedstock collection has begun with transportation to our facility for pelletization and storage. We are also pleased to announce that during March 2026, we completed a $200 million senior credit facility with HAZI. This new facility restructures our existing debt, enables the completion of the first phase of our Turkey North Carolina project, and provides for future growth initiatives. Also during March 2026, we successfully negotiated a five-year gas rights extension for our Rager R&G facility. And with that, I will turn the call over to Kevin.
