Waga Energy (EPA: WAGA), a leader in the production of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from landfill gas, today reports its first-half results for the 2025 fiscal year, as approved by the Company's Board of Directors on September 29th, 2025. The Group posted revenues of EUR 27.4m for the period driven by a strong +39% increase in RNG production revenues, and a steady growth of total revenues up +7% due to the expected decline in EPC revenues (with the commissioning of the Hartland project in Canada).
EBITDA amounted to - EUR 0.2m (+EUR 2.3m yoy), supported by higher RNG revenues generating increasing Projects EBITDA, and disciplined cost management, confirming the Group's ability to achieve its EBITDA breakeven objective in the course of 2025.
The Group's portfolio injected 326 GWh (1.1 million MMBtu) of RNG across France, Spain, Canada and the United States, representing a +28% year-on-year increase. This RNG production avoided 80,500 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions by displacing fossil natural gas in energy grids[4].
Waga Energy has maintained a high level of operational performance, achieving an average uptime of 95% for WAGABOX® units that have been in operation for over 12 months.
In addition to commissioning large units in the United States in H2 2025, the Group is currently focusing on signing new projects out of its strong existing commercial pipeline of 196 projects representing an installed capacity of 16.7 TWh / 57.1 million MMBTu p.a. (notwithstanding any project portfolios which Waga Energy may sign in the future with EQT's backing whether organically or through external growth).
Capex have more than doubled at EUR 59m with 19 WAGABOX® units currently under construction worldwide, mainly in the US.
The Group maintains a strong total liquidity position of EUR 149m as of June 30, 2025 (including EUR 55m in cash and EUR 94m in available undrawn debt), thanks to a EUR 24m corporate debt increase and a 19-year CAUSD 25m loan (c. EUR 16m) to refinance 3 WAGABOX® units operating in Canada.
As of the date of this press release, the Group operates 31 RNG production units in France, Spain, Canada and the United States, representing an installed capacity over 1.5 TWh per year (5.1 million MMBtu). Signed annual recurring revenue[5] based on operational units and projects under construction totaled EUR 177m, versus EUR 106m a year ago (+67%).
In an uncertain market environment, Waga Energy remains ideally positioned to develop the landfill to RNG huge market potential, thanks to the competitiveness of its world-unique technology and unmatched execution capabilities. These are key competitive advantages to sustain a trajectory of strong and profitable growth, especially in the United States, based on projects generating highly predictable cash flows.
Waga Energy maintains its target of achieving EBITDA breakeven in the course of 2025, and over EUR 400m signed annual recurring revenues by the end of 2026. The 2026 targets of EUR 200m revenue and 4 TWh p.a. installed capacity should be reached, however with several months' time shift as indicated at the 2024 full year results.
