1.Nature of Business, Financial Condition and Basis of Presentation
Nature of business. Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEVO) ("Gevo" or the "Company," which, unless otherwise indicated, refers to Gevo, Inc. and its subsidiaries), a Delaware corporation founded in 2005, is a growth-oriented company with the mission of solving greenhouse gas emissions for those sectors of the transportation industry that are not amenable to electrification or hydrogen.
The Company is focused on transforming renewable energy into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons that can be used as renewable fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF"), with the potential to achieve a “net-zero” greenhouse gas ("GHG") footprint. The Company uses the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) model (the "GREET Model") to measure, predict and verify GHG emissions across the life-cycle of its products. The “net-zero” concept means Gevo expects that by using renewable and substantially decarbonized energy sources, drop-in hydrocarbon fuels can be produced that have a net-zero, full life cycle footprint measured from the capture of renewable carbon through the burning of the fuel.
Gevo's primary market focus, given current demand and growing customer interest, is SAF. The Company believes it also has commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products, such as (i) hydrocarbons for gasoline blendstocks and diesel fuel, (ii) ingredients for the chemical industry, such as ethylene and butenes, and (iii) plastics, materials and other chemicals.
The Company believes it has the technology and know-how to convert various carbohydrate feeds through a fermentation process into alcohols and then transform the alcohols into renewable fuels and materials. While the Company expects its first major capital deployments to focus on the production of SAF, Gevo recognizes that there are opportunities to operate in several different markets, and it will pursue those opportunities when appropriate based on customer interest, access to capital and expected investment returns.
Gevo currently operates a wholly-owned development plant in Luverne, Minnesota (the "Luverne Facility"). The Luverne Facility was originally constructed in 1998 and is located on approximately 55 acres of land, which contains approximately 50,000 square feet of building space. Our Luverne Facility is a scale up and development site. Gevo intends to use the Luverne Facility to prove our processes, process concepts, unit operations and for other purposes in order to optimize feedstocks and the processes used for producing hydrocarbons from alcohols.
Gevo's renewable natural gas ("RNG") project ("NW Iowa RNG") owned by Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC, will generate RNG captured from dairy cow manure supplied by three dairies located in Northwest Iowa totaling over 20,000 milking cows. Animal manure can be digested anaerobically to produce biogas, which is then upgraded to pipeline quality gas referred to as RNG. Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC intends to sell RNG to the California market through an agreement with BP Canada Energy Marketing Corp. and BP Products North America Inc. (collectively, "BP"). Our dairy farm partners realize a variety of benefits including improved operational and environmental compliance options. These services facilitate long-term relationships with project hosts that may serve as a source for future projects and relationships. Gevo believes that RNG has potential to displace fossil-based natural gas used in the future production of net-zero hydrocarbon manufacturing facilities, providing the benefit of lowering the carbon intensity of hydrocarbon fuels.
In 2021, we began construction on NW Iowa RNG under a self-perform project delivery format. We completed most of the construction efforts at the end of 2021, and in January 2022, we began the process of commissioning the project. NW Iowa RNG is expected to be completed within budget. All digesters are currently in the start-up phase and are expected to reach steady production levels in the second quarter of 2022. When fully operational, NW Iowa RNG is expected to generate approximately 355,000 MMBtu of RNG per year.
We also operate a demonstration facility in Silsbee, Texas in partnership with South Hampton Resources, Inc. (the "South Hampton Facility"), from which the Company produces limited volumes of SAF and liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
Ultimately, the Company believes that the attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon future events, including, but not limited to (i) the successful development of the Company's initial Net-Zero Project (the "Net-Zero 1 Project") and future projects for the production of energy dense liquid hydrocarbons using renewable energy and our proprietary technology; and (ii) the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure.
Basis of presentation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company (which include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries Gevo Asset, LLC, Gevo RNG HoldCo, LLC, Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC, Gevo Net-Zero
GEVO, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
HoldCo, LLC, Gevo Net-Zero 1, LLC, and Agri-Energy, LLC (“Agri-Energy”)) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2022, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included under the heading “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The financial statements at December 31, 2021, have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our audited financial statements and notes thereto included for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report").
Reclassifications. The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation, including the categorization of depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These reclassifications had no impact on total revenues, total cost of goods sold, total operating expenses, net loss or stockholders' equity for any period.
2.Revenues from Contracts with Customers and Other Revenues
The Company's limited revenues are derived from two development-scale plants: (i) the South Hampton Facility and (ii) the Luverne Facility. These revenues are from customer contracts for ethanol sales and related products and hydrocarbon revenues, which include SAF, isooctene, and isooctane. These are sold mostly on a free-on-board, shipping point basis (recognized at a point in time), are independent transactions, do not provide post-sale support or promises to deliver future goods, and are single performance obligations. Historically, grant revenues consisted of governmental and cooperative research grants, while other revenue includes consulting services and short-term leases for certain storage facilities at the Luverne Facility. For the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no variable revenues and as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no remaining unfulfilled or partially fulfilled performance obligations. The Company does not offer explicit or implicit price concessions, so it records the revenue and trade receivables at 100% of the transaction price. Since all amounts are provided and due in less than one year, the Company elects to not record a financing component.
3.Net loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options and other dilutive securities outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. None of the Company's stock options or other dilutive securities are considered to be dilutive in periods with net losses.
The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 excluded 1,751,170 and 220,099, respectively, of common stock equivalents because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive or would decrease the reported net loss per share.

Interest income totaled $1.6 million the three months ended March 31, 2022 (nil for the three months ended March 31, 2021) and is included in "Interest and dividend income" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Future maturities of the Company's marketable securities are $207.0 million in 2022 and $91.5 million in 2023.
6.Leases, Right-of-Use Assets and Related Liabilities
The Company is party to an operating lease contract for the Company’s office and research facility in Englewood, Colorado, that expires in January 2029. The lease contains an option to extend the lease which management does not reasonably expect to exercise, so it is not included in the length of the term. The Company also has one production line piece of equipment with an operating lease that expires in 2024. As of March 31, 2022, right-of-use assets under operating leases totaling $2.2 million are included in "Operating right-of use assets," and related lease liabilities totaling $2.3 million ($0.4 million in current and $1.8 million in long-term) are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company also has four finance leases for land under arrangements related to NW Iowa RNG. Under these contracts, the Company leases land from dairy farmers on which it has built three anaerobic digesters, related equipment and pipelines to condition raw biogas from cow manure provided by the farmers. The partially conditioned biogas will be transported from the three digester sites to a central gas upgrade system located at the fourth site that will upgrade the biogas to pipeline quality RNG for sale. These leases expire at various dates between 2031 and 2050. Since the Company adopted the practical expedient, all amounts paid to the lessor under these arrangements for cow manure and non-lease services are classified as lease payments and are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. This results in significantly higher right-of-use assets and lease liabilities than if the Company did not elect this practical expedient. The Company also has one office equipment finance lease, which expires in 2025. As of March 31, 2022, right-of-use assets under finance leases totaling $26.9 million are included in "Finance right-of-use assets," and related lease liabilities totaling $21.4 million ($4.0 million in current and $17.4 million in long-term) are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(1)$0.6 million and $0.4 million of amortization and interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were capitalized as part of construction in progress, for related finance lease liabilities of $23.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The accumulated capitalized amounts of $3.0 million are included in "Property, plant and equipment, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the related NW Iowa RNG facilities were still under construction on March 31, 2022. Since these leases include approximately 75% fuel supplies, when the RNG facilities reach 60% production (expected in the second or third quarter of 2022), these capitalized amounts will be moved to inventory, and as units are sold they will be expensed through cost of goods sold.
(2)Represents amounts incurred in excess of minimum payments, including payments for common area expenses under our office and research facility lease, and additional amounts due under our NW Iowa RNG leases based on the number of cows maintained by the owners above the minimum required by the contracts of the respective facilities.

12.Debt
2021 Bond Issuance
On April 15, 2021, on behalf of Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC, the Iowa Finance Authority ("the "Authority") issued $68,155,000 of its non-recourse Solid Waste Facility Revenue Bonds (Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC Renewable Natural Gas Project), Series 2021 (Green Bonds) (the "2021 Bonds") for NW Iowa RNG. The bond proceeds are being used as a source of construction financing alongside equity from the Company. The bonds were issued under a Trust Indenture dated as of April 1, 2021 (the "Indenture") between the Authority and Citibank, N.A. as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 2021 Bonds mature April 1, 2042. They initially bear interest at 1.50% per annum during the Initial Term Rate Period, (as defined in the Indenture) payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The bonds are supported by a $71.2 million irrevocable direct pay letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"), which expires April 4, 2024 (unless terminated earlier), and was issued by Citibank, N.A. The Trustee will draw sufficient amounts on the Letter of Credit to pay the principal and interest until the first mandatory tender date of April 1, 2024. The bonds are callable and re-marketable on or after October 1, 2022. If the bonds have not been called and re-marketed by the first mandatory tender date the Trustee may draw on the Letter of Credit to repay the bonds in their entirety at the purchase price. Gevo deposited $71.2 million with Citibank, N.A. as restricted cash to secure any amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. As of March 31, 2022, no amounts have been drawn under the Letter of Credit.
Gevo anticipates re-marketing the 2021 Bonds in the fall of 2022 under revised terms that will include a long-term maturity date and be non-recourse to Gevo. Upon a successful remarketing, Gevo anticipates that the Letter of Credit, the associated reimbursement agreement and the associated pledge of cash will be terminated, with a concurrent release of the restricted cash securing the Letter of Credit.
The 2021 Bonds were issued at a premium of $0.8 million, and debt issuance costs were $3.0 million. The bond debt is classified as long-term debt and is presented net of the premium and issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the bonds using the interest method. As of March 31, 2022, the premium balance, and debt issuance cost net of amortization were $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents consists of unused proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Bonds, and are restricted for the purpose of constructing NW Iowa RNG projects as well as amounts pledged and assigned to Citibank, N.A. in its capacity as provider of the Letter of Credit as collateral for the reimbursement obligations of Gevo.
