Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1—General

Nature of Business

Clean Energy Fuels Corp., together with its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company,” unless the context or the use of the term indicates or requires otherwise) is engaged in the business of selling renewable and conventional natural gas as alternative fuels for vehicle fleets and related fueling solutions to its customers, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company’s principal business is supplying renewable natural gas (“RNG”) and conventional natural gas, in the form of compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”), for medium and heavy-duty vehicles and providing operation and maintenance (“O&M”) services to public and private vehicle fleet customer stations. The Company is also focused on developing, owning, and operating dairy and other livestock waste RNG projects and supplying RNG (procured from third party sources and from the Company’s jointly owned RNG production facilities (see Note 3)) to its customers in the heavy and medium-duty commercial transportation sector.

As a comprehensive clean energy solution provider, the Company also designs and builds, as well as operates and maintains, public and private vehicle fueling stations in the United States and Canada; sells and services compressors and other equipment used in RNG production and at fueling stations; transports and sells RNG and conventional natural gas, in the form of CNG and LNG, via “virtual” natural gas pipelines and interconnects; sells U.S. federal, state and local government credits it generates by selling RNG in the form of CNG and LNG as a vehicle fuel, including Renewable Identification Numbers (“RIN Credits” or “RINs”) under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard Phase 2 and credits under the California, Oregon, and Washington Low Carbon Fuel Standards (collectively, “LCFS Credits”); and obtains federal, state and local tax credits, grants and incentives.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or any future year.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), but the resultant disclosures contained herein are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as they apply to interim reporting. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and may result in material effects on the Company’s operating results and financial position. Significant estimates made in preparing the

accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include (but are not limited to) those related to revenue recognition, fair value measurements, goodwill and long-lived asset valuations and impairment assessments, income tax valuations, stock-based compensation expense and stock-based sales incentive charges.

Amazon Warrant

The Amazon Warrant (defined in Note 14) is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation. This instrument is classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which states that for awards granted to a customer that are not in exchange for distinct goods or services, the fair value of the awards earned based on service or performance conditions is recorded as a reduction of the transaction price. To determine the fair value of the Amazon Warrant in accordance with ASC 718, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based in part on assumptions that require management to use judgment. Based on the fair value of the award, the Company determines the amount of non-cash stock-based sales incentive charges on the customer’s pro-rata achievement of vesting conditions, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 14 for additional information.

Tourmaline Joint Development

In April 2023, the Company and Tourmaline Oil Corp. (“Tourmaline”) announced a CAD $70 million Joint Development Agreement to build and operate a network of CNG stations along key highway corridors across Western Canada. Under a 50-50 shared investment, the Company and Tourmaline expect to construct and commission up to 20 CNG fueling stations over the next five years, allowing heavy-duty trucks and other commercial transportation fleets that operate in the area to transition to the use of CNG, a lower carbon alternative to gasoline and diesel. Costs associated with station construction and profit and loss arising from station operation are shared 50-50 between the Company and Tourmaline. This arrangement between the Company and Tourmaline to jointly develop, build and operate CNG fueling stations is accounted for in accordance with ASC 808,Collaborative Arrangements, which states that (1) costs incurred and revenue generated from transactions with third parties be separately recorded by each participant in its own financial statements, (2) the participant who is deemed to be the principal for a given transaction under ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, will record the transaction on a gross basis in its financial statements, and (3) payments between participants that are within the scope of other authoritative accounting literature on income statement classification shall be accounted for using the relevant provisions of that literature. If the payments are not within the scope of other authoritative accounting literature, then the income statement classification for the payments shall be based on an analogy to authoritative accounting literature or if there is no appropriate analogy, a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election.

The Company determined that it is the principal for the revenue generated from third parties under this collaborative arrangement with Tourmaline in accordance with ASC 606; as such, the associated revenue and cost of sales generated and incurred are recognized on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net participation of profit and loss owed to or from Tourmaline is recorded as an increase or decrease to cost of sales, respectively, as the transaction is not deemed to be with a customer within the scope of ASC 606. Capitalized station costs are presented at half of the total development and construction costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, corresponding to the Company’s 50% ownership in the shared assets.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Due to a decline in the market price of the Company's common stock subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2024 for its single reporting unit. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of its reporting unit based on its market value of invested capital plus a market participant acquisition premium. The results of the quantitative goodwill impairment test performed as of March 31, 2024 indicated that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 7% or $70.0 million; as such, no impairment charges relating to goodwill were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

In addition, due to a decline in share price of the Company's common stock, the Company assessed whether such triggering event or any other events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Based on the assessment performed, the Company determined that there wasno impairment to the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets as of March 31, 2024.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. This ASU permits private entities with common control arrangements that may contain or be leases to use any written terms and conditions between the parties, without regard to their legal enforceability, to identify, classify and account for common control leases. In addition, all lessees (public or private), in general, amortize leasehold improvements related to a common control lease over their useful life to the common control group, regardless of the ASC 842 lease term, as long as they continue to control the use of the underlying leased asset. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption allowed. The Company adopted this new ASU in the first quarter of 2024. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included with each reported measure of significant profit or loss on an annual and interim basis. This ASU also requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements and will likely result in additional disclosures when adopted. The Company is evaluating the adoption impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances annual income tax disclosures by requiring entities to disclose specific categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the adoption impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. This ASU improves U.S. GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance in paragraph 718-10-15-3 to determine whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption allowed. The Company is evaluating the adoption impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2—Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue Recognition Overview

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To

achieve that core principle, a five-step approach is applied: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue allocated to each performance obligation when the Company satisfies the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account for revenue recognition.

The Company is generally the principal in its customer contracts because it has control over the goods and services prior to their transfer to the customer, and as such, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The table below presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by revenue source (in thousands):

​​​​​​​​
​ · ​ · ​ · Three Months Ended
​ · ​ · ​ · March 31,
​ · ​ · 2023 · 2024

Total service revenue​​​12,456​​14,295
Total revenue​​$132,183​$103,709
(1)Includes non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges associated with the Amazon Warrant. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, contra-revenue charges recognized in fuel revenue were $13.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, contra-revenue charges recognized in fuel revenue were $12.9 million. See Note 14 for more information.
(2)Represents changes in fair value of derivative instruments related to the Company’s commodity swap and customer fueling contracts associated with the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program. The amounts are classified as revenue because the Company’s commodity swap contracts are used to economically offset the risk associated with the diesel-to-natural gas price spread resulting from customer fueling contracts under the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program. See Note 6 for more information about these derivative instruments.
(3)Represents the federal alternative fuel excise tax credit (“AFTC”). See Note 19 for more information.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of customer orders for which the work has not been performed. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $24.3 million, which related to the Company’s station construction sale contracts. The Company expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations under these contracts over the next 12 to 24 months.

For volume-related revenue, the Company has elected to apply an optional exemption, which waives the requirement to disclose the remaining performance obligation for revenue recognized through the‘right to invoice’ practical expedient.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s contract balances were as follows (in thousands):

​​​​​​​
​ · December 31, · March 31,
​ · ​ · 2023 · ​ · 2024
Accounts receivable, net​$98,426​$85,478
​​​​​​
Contract assets - current​$7,823​$8,501
Contract assets - non-current​2,433​2,304
Contract assets - total​$10,256​$10,805
​​​​​​
Contract liabilities - current​$4,936​$7,787
Contract liabilities - non-current​151​132
Contract liabilities - total​$5,087​$7,919

Accounts Receivable, Net

“Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets includes billed and accrued amounts that are currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based on an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Contract Assets

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from the Company’s station construction sale contracts, when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of billings. The current portion is included in “Other receivables” and in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the noncurrent portion is included in “Notes receivable and other long-term assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of revenue recognized from the Company’s station construction sale contracts and payments received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations and are classified as current or noncurrent based on when the revenue is expected to be recognized. The current portion and noncurrent portion of contract liabilities are included in “Deferred revenue” and in “Other long-term liabilities,” respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 relating to the Company’s contract liability balances as of December 31, 2022 was $1.3 million. The increase in the contract liability balance in the three months ended March 31, 2024 is mainly driven by billings in excess of revenue recognized and customer advances in the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by $0.5 million of revenue recognized relating to the Company’s contract liability balances as of December 31, 2023.

Note 3— Investments in Other Entities and Noncontrolling Interest in a Subsidiary

TotalEnergies Joint Venture

On March 3, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement (the “TotalEnergies JV Agreement”) with TotalEnergies S.E. (“TotalEnergies”) to create 50-50 joint ventures to develop anaerobic digester gas (“ADG”) RNG production facilities in the United States. Pursuant to the TotalEnergies JV Agreement, each ADG RNG production facility project will be formed as a separate limited liability company (“LLC”) that is owned 50-50 by the Company and TotalEnergies, and contributions to such LLCs count toward the TotalEnergies JV Equity Obligations (as defined below). The TotalEnergies JV Agreement contemplates investing up to$400.0 million of equity in production projects, and TotalEnergies and the Company each committed to initially provide$50.0 million (the “TotalEnergies JV Equity Obligations”). In October 2021, TotalEnergies and the Company executed a LLC agreement (the “DR Development Agreement”) for an ADG RNG production facility project (the “DR JV”). Under the DR Development Agreement, TotalEnergies and the Company have each committed to contribute$7.0 million to the DR JV, and in November 2021, TotalEnergies and the Company each contributed an initial$4.8 million to the DR JV. On June 27, 2023, the DR JV issued a capital call for$11.0 million in additional funding, requiring TotalEnergies and the Company each to contribute$5.5 million. Funds from the capital call will be used to fund required loan reserves and to paydown outstanding liabilities of the DR JV. On June 28, 2023, the Company contributed$5.5 million and advanced$5.5 million to the DR JV. In December 2023, the$5.5 million advance was refunded to the Company by the DR JV.

The Company accounts for its interest in the LLC using the equity method of accounting because the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the LLC’s operations. The Company recorded a loss of$0.4 million and$0.4 million from the LLC’s operations in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Company had an investment balance of$7.5 million and$7.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

bp Joint Venture

On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement (the “bp JV Agreement”) with BP Products North America, Inc. (“bp”) that created a 50-50 joint venture (the “bpJV”) to develop, own and operate new ADG RNG production facilities in the U.S. Pursuant to the bp JV Agreement, bp and the Company committed to provide $50.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, withbp and the Company each receiving 30.0 million of Class A Units in the bpJV and bp also receiving 20.0 million of Class B Units in the bpJV. bp’s initial $50.0 million contribution was made on April 13, 2021 and consisted of all unpaid principal outstanding under the loan agreement dated December 18, 2020, pursuant to which bp advanced $50.0 million to the Company to fund capital costs and expenses incurred prior to formation of the bpJV, including capital costs and expenses for permitting, engineering, equipment, leases and feed stock rights. Pursuant to the bp JV Agreement, the Company had the option, exercisable prior to August 31, 2021 (the “bp Option”), to commit an additional $20.0 million to the bpJV upon which bp’s Class B Units would convert into Class A Units. On June 21, 2021, the Company contributed $50.2 million to the bpJV, which consisted of (i) its initial contribution commitment of $30.0 million, (ii) the $20.0 million additional contribution to effect the conversion of bp’s Class B Units into Class A Units pursuant to the Company’s exercise of the bp Option, and (iii) $0.2 million for interest in accordance with the bp JV Agreement to effect the conversion of bp’s Class B Units into Class A Units.

On December 20, 2023, the bpJV issued a capital call in the amount of $135.9 million. As a result, bp and the Company each contributed $67.95 million to the bpJV by December 31, 2023. Proceeds of this capital call will be used to develop ADG RNG projects and to fund bpJV’s working capital needs.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company and bp each own 50% of the bpJV, and all of the RNG produced from projects developed and owned by the bpJV will be available to the Company for sale as vehicle fuel pursuant to the Company’s marketing agreement with bp. The Company accounts for its interest in the bpJV using the equity method of accounting because the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the bpJV’s operations. The Company recorded a loss of $0.4 million and $2.8 million from this investment in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Company had an investment balance in the bpJV of $220.3 million and $217.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

SAFE&CEC S.r.l.

On November 26, 2017, the Company, through its former subsidiary, IMW Industries Ltd. (formerly known as Clean Energy Compression Corp.) (“CEC”), entered into an investment agreement with Landi Renzo S.p.A. (“LR”), an alternative fuels company based in Italy. Pursuant to the investment agreement, the Company and LR agreed to combine their respective natural gas compressor fueling systems manufacturing subsidiaries, CEC and SAFE S.p.A, into a new company, SAFE&CEC S.r.l. (such combination transaction is referred to as the “CEC Combination”). SAFE&CEC S.r.l. is focused on manufacturing, selling and servicing natural gas fueling compressors and related equipment for the global natural gas fueling market. At the closing of the CEC Combination on December 29, 2017, the Company owned 49% of SAFE&CEC S.r.l., and LR owned 51% of SAFE&CEC S.r.l.

The Company accounts for its interest in SAFE&CEC S.r.l. using the equity method of accounting because the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over SAFE&CEC S.r.l.’s operations. The Company recorded a loss of $0.4 million and $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The Company had an investment balance in SAFE&CEC S.r.l. of $21.2 million and $19.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

NG Advantage

On October 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Common Unit Purchase Agreement (“UPA”) with NG Advantage, LLC (“NG Advantage”) for a 53.3% controlling interest in NG Advantage. Subsequently, the Company’s controlling interest increased in connection with various equity and financing arrangements with NG Advantage. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s controlling interest in NG Advantage was 93.3%. NG Advantage is engaged in the business of transporting CNG in high-capacity trailers to industrial and institutional energy users, such as hospitals, food processors, manufacturers and paper mills that do not have direct access to natural gas pipelines.

The Company recorded a loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest in NG Advantage of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was $6.9 million and $6.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Investments in Equity Securities

For investments in equity securities of privately held entities without readily determinable fair values, the Company measures such investments at cost, adjusted for impairment, if any, and observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the Company had an investment balance recorded at cost of $8.0 million. The Company did not recognize any adjustments to the recorded cost basis in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024.

Note 4—Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 consisted of the following (in thousands):

​​​​​​​
​ · December 31, · March 31,
​ · ​ · 2023 · ​ · 2024
Current assets: · ​ · ​
Cash and cash equivalents​$104,944​$89,393

Total cash, cash equivalents and current portion of restricted cash​$106,963​$91,412
​​​​​​​
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash​$106,963​$91,412

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less on the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”) limits. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. The amounts in excess of FDIC and CDIC limits were approximately $105.6 million and $90.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company classifies restricted cash as short-term and a current asset if the cash is expected to be used in operations within a year or to acquire a current asset. Otherwise, the restricted cash is classified as long-term. The Company deposited $2.0 million, in the form of a certificate of deposit, at PlainsCapital Bank as collateral for the standby letter of credit issued to Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., in connection with the Company’s Adopt-A-Port program. The $2.0 million certificate of deposit is classified as short-term restricted cash and a current asset and is included in “Cash, cash equivalents and current portion of restricted cash” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024.

Note 5—Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments include available-for-sale debt securities, excluded from cash equivalents, that have maturities of one year or less on the date of acquisition and certificates of deposit. Available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value, inclusive of unrealized gains and losses. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities are recognized on the specific identification basis.

The Company reviews available-for-sale debt securities for declines in fair value below their cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable and evaluates the current expected credit loss. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, economic conditions, and any changes to the credit rating of the security. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded a credit loss related to available-for-sale debt securities and believes the carrying values of its available-for-sale debt securities are properly recorded.

Short-term investments as of December 31, 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note 6—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In October 2018, the Company executedtwo commodity swap contracts with TotalEnergies Gas & Power North America, an affiliate of TotalEnergies, for a total of 5.0 million diesel gallons annually from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024. These commodity swap contracts are used to manage diesel price fluctuation risks related to the natural gas fuel supply commitments the Company makes in its fueling agreements with fleet operators who participate in theZero Now truck financing program. These contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and as a result, changes in the fair value

of these derivative instruments are recognized in “Product revenue” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has entered into fueling agreements with fleet operators under theZero Now truck financing program. Certain of these fueling agreements contain a pricing feature indexed to diesel, which the Company determined to be an embedded derivative and is recorded at fair value at the time of execution, with the changes in fair value of the embedded derivative recognized in “Product revenue” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7—Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements with respect to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis. Under the standard, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction

between market participants, as of the measurement date. The standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company’s U.S. government issued debt securities are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using the most recent quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Certificate of deposits is classified within Level 2 because it is valued using the most recent quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active and quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

The Company used the income approach to value its outstanding commodity swap contracts and embedded derivatives in its fueling agreements under theZero Now truck financing program (see Note 6). Under the income approach, the Company used a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model in which cash flows anticipated over the term of the contracts are discounted to their present value using an expected discount rate. The discount rate used for cash flows reflects the specific risks in spot and forward rates and credit valuation adjustments. This valuation approach is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s derivative instruments are Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (“ULSD”) forward prices and differentials from ULSD to Petroleum Administration for Defense District (“PADD”) regions. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the ULSD forward prices is accompanied by a directionally opposite but less extreme change in the ULSD-PADD differential.

The Company estimated the fair value of its outstanding commodity swap contracts based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · December 31, 2023 · ​ · March 31, 2024
Significant Unobservable Inputs · Input Range · Weighted Average · Input Range · Weighted Average
ULSD Gulf Coast Forward Curve​$1.97 - $2.27​$2.15​$ 2.25 - $ 2.47​$2.35
Historical Differential to PADD 3 Diesel​$0.92 - $1.62​$1.16​$ 0.93 - $ 1.62​$1.17
Historical Differential to PADD 5 Diesel​$1.89 - $3.16​$2.48​$ 1.98 - $ 3.16​$2.53

The Company estimated the fair value of embedded derivatives in its fueling agreements under theZero Now truck financing program based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · December 31, 2023 · ​ · March 31, 2024
Significant Unobservable Inputs · Input Range · Weighted Average · Input Range · Weighted Average
ULSD Gulf Coast Forward Curve​$1.97 - $2.27​$2.15​$ 2.25 - $ 2.47​$2.35
Historical Differential to PADD 3 Diesel​$0.92 - $1.62​$1.16​$ 0.93 - $ 1.62​$1.17
Historical Differential to PADD 5 Diesel​$1.89 - $3.16​$2.48​$ 1.98 - $ 3.16​$2.53

Convertible Promissory Notes

In connection with the Company’s loan commitments to an equity method investee (“Rimere”) (see Note 17), the Company acquired convertible promissory notes with principal balances equaling the total amount of drawdowns on the loan commitments. These convertible promissory notes are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value,

which is measured using the income approach. Under the income approach, the Company used a DCF model in which cash flows anticipated over the term of the notes are discounted to their present value using an expected discount rate. The discount rate used reflected the interest rates offered on loans of similar terms and to borrowers of similar credit quality, which are Level 3 inputs. As such, this valuation approach is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

The following table provides quantitative information about the significant inputs used to estimate the fair value of the convertible promissory notes as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024:

​​​​​
​​​​​
Significant Unobservable Inputs · December 31, 2023 · March 31, 2024
Risk-free interest rate​5.39%​5.21%
Credit adjustment​5.31%​4.42%
Credit adjusted discount rate​10.70%​9.63%

The above significant unobservable inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions. The use of significant unobservable inputs creates uncertainty in the measurement of fair value as of the reporting date. Significant increase or decrease in any of the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in market interest rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the estimated fair value of fixed-rate debt securities. The Company records changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in “Unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities” within other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

There wereno transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023 or March 31, 2024.

Stonepeak Credit Agreement

On December 12, 2023 (the “Stonepeak Closing Date”), the Company entered into a senior secured first lien term loan credit agreement (the “Stonepeak Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. Pursuant to the Stonepeak Credit Agreement, the lenders funded a $300,000,000 senior secured term loan (the “Senior Term Loan”) and provided a delayed draw term loan commitment of $100,000,000 (together, with the Senior Term Loan, the “Loan Facility”). Payments related to the Loan Facility are interest only with a balloon principal payment due on the maturity date, which is December 12, 2029. The Loan Facility bears interest at 9.50% per annum, and, during the firsttwo years beginning from the Stonepeak Closing Date, the Company may elect to pay up to 75% of the interest in kind. The delayed draw term loan commitment has a scheduled expiration date of December 12, 2025, and outstanding undrawn principal of the commitment is subject to a commitment fee of 1.00% per annum. The Company has the option to early terminate the delayed draw term loan commitment subject to the payment of certain early termination fees. Proceeds from the Loan Facility were or will be used to repay certain existing indebtedness of the Company, to finance permitted investments from time to time, to pay transaction costs related to the Stonepeak Credit Agreement, and for other general corporate purposes. In connection with

the Loan Facility, the Company is obligated to pay other customary facility fees for credit facilities of a similar size and type.

The Company has the option to prepay all or any portion of the amounts owed prior to the maturity date, and the Loan Facility is subject to customary mandatory prepayments clauses. All prepayments and all other payments of the Loan Facility principal are subject to a call premium in the minimum amount that, when received by the lenders, would be sufficient to cause both (1) the internal rate of return for each such lender on the Loan Facility to be not less than 11.5% and (2) the multiple on invested capital for each such lender to be not less than 1.40; provided, however, in the event that the Company consummates a change in control transaction, in lieu of the foregoing call premium, the Company is obligated to pay a change in control premium in the amount of (a) the principal amount of the loans outstanding at the time of such change in control multiplied by, if the change in control occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Stonepeak Closing Date,20%, (b) the principal amount of the loans outstanding at the time of such change in control multiplied by, if the change in control occurs after the first anniversary of the Stonepeak Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Stonepeak Closing Date,10%, and (c) if the change in control occurs after the second anniversary of the Stonepeak Closing Date, the minimum amount that, when received by the lenders, would be sufficient to cause the internal rate of return for each such lender to be not less than 11.5%. In conjunction with the Stonepeak Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in favor of the lenders. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of its personal property, rights and assets to secure the payment of all amounts owed to the lenders under the Stonepeak Credit Agreement. Certain material subsidiaries of the Company will be required to join as a party to the Security Agreement from time to time after the Stonepeak Closing Date.

The Stonepeak Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a minimum liquidity test. In addition, the Stonepeak Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, dispose of assets, make investments, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and enter into certain speculative hedging arrangements. Additionally, the Stonepeak Credit Agreement includes a number of events of default contingency clauses, including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other materials indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, and material breaches of material contracts. If any event of default occurs (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods), the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Loan Facility may become due and payable immediately.

Concurrent with the execution of the Stonepeak Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to Stonepeak CLNE-W Holdings LP (“Stonepeak”), pursuant to a Warrant Agreement, dated December 12, 2023, allowing Stonepeak to purchase 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 and an additional 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 (see Note 15). In connection with the funding of the Senior Term Loan pursuant to the Stonepeak Credit Agreement, the Company recognized $39.3 million in debt discount and issuance costs, consisting of $31.8 million of debt discount attributed to the Stonepeak Warrant, $6.1 million of original issue discount and direct lender fees, and $1.4 million of debt issuance costs.

Other Debt

In May 2023, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback arrangement and received $0.3 million pursuant to the arrangement. The transaction did not qualify for sale and leaseback accounting due to a fixed price repurchase option that is not at fair value. As a result, the transaction was recorded under the financing method in which the assets remained on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the proceeds from the transaction were recorded as a financing liability. The sale and leaseback arrangement has a term offive years with interest and principal payable in 60 monthly installments at an annual effective rate of 13.48%. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the Company had other outstanding debt bearing interest at 13.48%.

Note 13—Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common shares issuable for little or no cash consideration during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common shares issuable for little or no cash consideration during the period and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, and therefore reflects the dilution from common shares that may be issued upon exercise or conversion of these potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options, warrants, convertible notes and restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is computed under the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of convertible notes and restricted stock units is computed under the if-converted method. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computations of diluted net income (loss) per share if their effect would be antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024 (in thousands except share and per share amounts):

​​​​​​​

Note 14—Stock-Based Compensation

The following table summarizes the compensation expense and related income tax benefit related to the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024 (in thousands):

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​

As of March 31, 2024, there was $19.7 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested shares subject to outstanding service-based stock options and restricted stock units. Unrecognized compensation costs associated with these stock-based awards are expected to be expensed over a weighted-average period of approximately

2.2 years. As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested shares subject to outstanding performance-based stock options were $3.8 million.

Amazon Warrant

On April 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Project Addendum to Fuel Pricing Agreement (the “Fuel Agreement”) with Amazon Logistics, Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”), and a Transaction Agreement with Amazon (the “Transaction Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon (“Amazon Holdings”), a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 53,141,755 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $13.49 per share. As a result of the issuance of additional shares of common stock under the Company’s at-the-market offering programs in 2021 and in accordance with the terms of the warrant, on June 14, 2021, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the warrant, at an exercise price of $13.49 per share, increased by an aggregate of 5,625,959 shares (the “Additional Warrant Shares”).

The Warrant Shares and the Additional Warrant Shares shall vest in multiple tranches, certain of which vested immediately upon execution of the Fuel Agreement. Subsequent tranches will vest over time based on fuel purchases by Amazon and its affiliates, up to a total of $500.0 million, excluding any payments attributable to “Pass Through Costs,” which consist of all costs associated with the delivered cost of gas and applicable taxes determined by reference to the selling price of gallons or gas sold. The right to exercise the warrants and to receive the Warrant Shares and Additional Warrant Shares (the “Amazon Warrant”) that have vested expires on April 16, 2031.

Non-cash stock-based sales incentive contra-revenue charges (“Amazon Warrant Charges”) associated with the Amazon Warrant are recognized as Amazon and its affiliates purchase fuel and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved, based on the grant date fair value of the Amazon Warrant.

The following table summarizes the Amazon Warrant activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Warrant

1,763,112 shares of the Amazon Warrant vested in the three months ended March 31, 2024 based on fuel purchases made by Amazon and its affiliates. The Company recognized Amazon Warrant Charges of $13.7 million and $12.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, relating to customer fuel purchases.

Note 15—Stockholders’ Equity

Authorized Shares

On June 14, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from 304,000,000 to 454,000,000. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is authorized to issue 455,000,000 shares, of which 454,000,000 shares of capital stock are designated common stock and 1,000,000 shares are designated preferred stock.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 12, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $30.0 million (exclusive of fees and commissions) of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). On December 7, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the aggregate purchase amount under the Repurchase Program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million (exclusive of fees and commissions). The Repurchase

Program does not have an expiration date, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has utilized a total of $23.5 million under the Repurchase Program from its inception to repurchase 9,387,340 shares of common stock, and a total of $26.5 million of authorized funds remain available for common stock repurchase under the Repurchase Program. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, structured or derivative transactions, including accelerated share repurchase transactions, or other methods of acquiring shares, in each case subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other relevant factors. Repurchases may also be made under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Stonepeak Warrant

In connection with the Stonepeak Credit Agreement and related Loan Facility (see Note 12), on December 12, 2023, the Company issued warrants (the “Stonepeak Warrant”) to Stonepeak, pursuant to a warrant agreement, dated December 12, 2023 (the “Warrant Agreement”), allowing Stonepeak to purchase 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 and an additional 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.50.

The Stonepeak Warrant vested upon the execution of the Warrant Agreement and is exercisable at any time after December 12, 2025. The Stonepeak Warrant has an 8.5 year term, and the right to exercise the warrants expires on June 15, 2032. The Stonepeak Warrant contains a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holder(s) to exercise the warrants without a cash payment to the Company pursuant to the terms set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock for which the Stonepeak Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise price are subject to certain customary anti-dilution and continuity adjustments as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

As a result of the issuance and vesting of the Stonepeak Warrant, the Company recognized $42.4 million, representing the fair value of the Stonepeak Warrant, in “Additional paid-in capital” included in “Stockholders’ equity.” This amount was excluded from the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows because it was a non-cash financing activity.

The following table summarizes the Stonepeak Warrant activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Note 16—Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is recorded.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Income tax benefit in each period is related to the Company’s U.S. and foreign operations. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024 are different from the federal statutory tax rate primarily due to losses for which no tax benefit has been recognized.

The Company increased its unrecognized tax benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2024 by $1.3 million. This increase is primarily attributable to the portion of AFTC revenue recognized in the period attributed to the federal fuel tax the Company collected from its customers and deductions attributed to the unvested Amazon Warrant during the

three months ended March 31, 2024. The net interest incurred was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into law. Besides the reinstatement of AFTC for the three year period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, the IRA offers tax incentives targeting energy transaction and renewables:

●The investment tax credit under Section 48 of the Internal Revenue Code is expanded to include Qualified Biogas Property, which is expected to be available for the RNG dairy projects that the Company has invested in or will invest in. The investment tax credit rate could range from 6% up to a 50% bonus rate depending on meeting certain wage, apprenticeship, domestic content, and energy community requirements.
●A new tax credit under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code was introduced to apply to low-emissions transportation fuel produced at a qualified facility and sold by the taxpayer after December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2027. The IRA provides a base credit of 20 cents per gallon or $1.00 per gallon multiplied by an applicable emission factor if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met. The Company expects its RNG dairy projects will be eligible for this credit, although the rate of the credit per gallon is still pending further guidance from the US Treasury department.
●The alternative fuel refueling property credit under Section 30C of the Internal Revenue Code was reinstated for 2022 and extended an additional 10 years to apply to any property placed in service before January 1, 2033. The base credit amount is 6% with a bonus rate of 30% if wage and registered apprenticeship requirements are met with a maximum credit amount of $100,000 (previously $30,000) per single refueling pump.

The Internal Revenue Service has been granted broad authority to issue regulations or other guidance that could clarify how these taxes will be applied and credits will be eligible. The Company is continuing to evaluate the financial impact of the IRA as additional information becomes available. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company is in the process of monetizing the tax credits on the two RNG projects that were placed in service in 2023 by transferring to third parties.

Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. The Company does not anticipate any expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company believes that its operations comply, in all material respects, with applicable federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations.

Litigation, Claims and Contingencies

The Company may become party to various legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is also subject to audit by tax and other authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign jurisdictions, and disputes may arise during the course of these audits. It is impossible to determine the ultimate liabilities that the Company may incur resulting from any of these lawsuits, claims, proceedings, audits, commitments, contingencies and related matters or the timing of these liabilities, if any. If these matters were to ultimately be resolved unfavorably, it is possible that such an outcome could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company does not, however, anticipate such an outcome and believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Long-Term Take-or-Pay Natural Gas Purchase Contracts

The Company has entered into quarterly fixed price natural gas purchase contracts with take-or-pay commitments extending through September 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the fixed commitments under these contracts totaled approximately $3.7 million for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2024.

Loan Commitment to an Equity Method Investee

In November 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “2022 Note Purchase Agreement”) with Rimere. Pursuant to the 2022 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company irrevocably committed to make available up to $5.5 million in delayed draw loans in exchange for convertible promissory notes issued by Rimere. The convertible promissory notes carry an interest rate of 7% per annum, compounded quarterly, and mature in May 2024, subject to certain, specified prepayment clauses. Funding from the loan commitment was used to meet Rimere’s working capital requirements, and, by the end of the third quarter of 2023, the Company had fully funded the $5.5 million loan commitment. In January 2024, the 2022 Note Purchase Agreement was amended, extending the maturity date to the end of December 2024. Concurrently, through a separately executed note purchase agreement, dated January 8, 2024 (the “2024 Note Purchase Agreement”), the Company agreed to make available up to $10.0 million in additional delayed draw loans to fund Rimere’s working capital needs. In connection with the $10.0 million loan commitment, the related convertible promissory notes issued by Rimere bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded quarterly, and have a maturity date of December 31, 2024, subject to certain, specified prepayment and event of default clauses set forth in the 2024 Note Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, $3.5 million has been funded by the Company pursuant to the 2024 Note Purchase Agreement.

Note 18—Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company leases fueling station equipment to customers pursuant to agreements that contain an option to extend and an end-of-term purchase option. Receivables from these leases are accounted for as finance leases, specifically sales-type leases, and are included in “Other receivables” and “Notes receivable and other long-term assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes the net investment in the lease as the sum of the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual value, both of which are measured at the present value using the interest rate implicit in the lease.

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company recognized $0.1 million in “Interest income” on its lease receivables.

The following schedule represents the Company’s maturities of lease receivables as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

​ · ​ · ​ · ​
Fiscal Year: · ​

Present value of lease receivables​$3,987

Note 19—Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit

Under separate pieces of U.S. federal legislation, the Company was eligible to receive AFTC for its natural gas vehicle fuel sales made between October 1, 2006 and December 31, 2021. In August 2022, the IRA was enacted, extending AFTC for an additional three years through December 31, 2024, beginning retroactively to January 1, 2022. The AFTC incentive in the extension period under the IRA is equal to $0.50 per gasoline gallon equivalent of CNG and $0.50 per diesel gallon of LNG that the Company sells as vehicle fuel.

Based on the service relationship with its customers, either the Company or its customers claim the credit. The Company records its AFTC, if any, as revenue in its condensed consolidated statements of operations because the credits are fully payable to the Company and do not offset income tax liabilities. As such, the credits are not deemed income tax credits under the accounting guidance applicable to income taxes.

Note 20—Related Party Transactions
