Q3 2021 UPDATE On October 15, 2021, Enviva announced the acquisition of its former sponsor, Enviva Holdings, LP (“Holdings”), and the elimin ati on of incentive distributions rights (the “Simplification Transaction”). Enviva also announced plans to convert from a master limited partner shi p to a corporation under the name of Enviva Inc. by the end of the year (the “Conversion”). This communication does not constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval. In connection with the Conversion, Enviva filed a proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” ). Enviva also plans to file other documents with the SEC regarding the Conversion. After the proxy statement has been cleared by the SEC, a de finitive proxy statement will be mailed to the unitholders of Enviva. UNITHOLDERS OF ENVIVA ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE CONVERSION THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONVERSION.

NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with accounting principles general ly accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Although they should not be considered alternatives to the GAAP presentation of the financial results of the Partners hip, management views such non - GAAP measures as important to reflect the Partnership’s actual performance during the periods presented. Non - GAAP Financial Measures In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sta tes (“GAAP”), we use adjusted net income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flow to measure our financial performance. In addition, we have included herein 2021 estimated financial results (the “2021 Guidance”), which include the expected post - closin g results of the assets and operations acquired as part of the Simplification Transaction, but do not reflect any recast of our historical financials as a r esult of the Simplification Transaction. If GAAP requires a recast of our historical financials as a result of the Simplification Transaction, the 2021 Guidance const itu tes a Non - GAAP measure. Our management uses our 2021 Guidance as a supplemental measure to represent the financial results of the assets and operations o f t he publicly traded entity. Adjusted Net Income We define adjusted net income as net income excluding interest expense associated with incremental borrowings related to a fi re that occurred in February 2018 at the Chesapeake terminal (the “Chesapeake Incident”) and Hurricanes Florence and Michael (the “Hurricane Events”), early retir eme nt of debt obligation, and acquisition and integration and other costs, adjusting for the effect of certain sales and marketing, scheduling, sustainabil ity , consultation, shipping, and risk management services (collectively, “Commercial Services”), and including, for periods prior to the Simplification Transaction , c ertain non - cash waivers of fees for management services provided to us by our sponsor (collectively, “MSA Fee Waivers”), and for periods after the Simplification Tr ansaction, certain payments under the Support Agreement entered into in connection therewith (“Support Payments”). We believe that adjusted net income enhances in vestors’ ability to compare the past financial performance of our underlying operations with our current performance separate from certain items of gain or l oss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. 20

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (cont.) Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin per Metric Ton We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding loss on disposal of assets, depreciation and amortization, changes in unrealized derivative instruments related to hedged items included in gross margin, non - cash unit compensation expenses, and acquisition and integration costs and other, adjusting for the effect of Commercial Services, and including, for periods prior to the Simplification Transaction, certain MSA Fee Waivers, and for per iod s after the Simplification Transaction, certain Support Payments. We define adjusted gross margin per metric ton as adjusted gross margin per metric ton of wood pell ets sold. We believe adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin per metric ton are meaningful measures because they compare our revenue - generating activities t o our operating costs for a view of profitability and performance on a total - dollar and a per - metric ton basis. Adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin p er metric ton will primarily be affected by our ability to meet targeted production volumes and to control direct and indirect costs associated with procurement and d eli very of wood fiber to our wood pellet production plants and our production and distribution of wood pellets. Adjusted EBITDA We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense (benefi t), early retirement of debt obligations, non - cash unit compensation expense, loss on disposal of assets, changes in unrealized derivative instruments relate d to hedged items included in gross margin and other income and expense, and acquisition and integration costs and other, adjusting for the effect of Commercial Ser vices, and including, for periods prior to the Simplification Transaction, certain MSA Fee Waivers, and for periods after the Simplification Transaction, certa in Support Payments. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by our management and other users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial bank s a nd research analysts, to assess the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Distributable Cash Flow We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures, cash income tax expenses, and int ere st expense net of amortization of debt issuance costs, debt premium, original issue discounts, and the impact from incremental borrowings related to the Che sap eake Incident and Hurricane Events. We use distributable cash flow as a performance metric to compare our cash - generating performance from period to period and to compare the cash - generating performance for specific periods to the cash distributions (if any) that are expected to be paid to our unitholder s. We do not rely on distributable cash flow as a liquidity measure. 21

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (cont.) 22 Limitations of Non - GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted net income, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, and distributable cash flo w a re not financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of these non - GAAP financial measures provides useful informa tion to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Our non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to t he most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Each of these non - GAAP financial measures has important limitations as an analytical tool because they exclu de some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. You should not consider adjusted net income, adjusted gross marg in, adjusted gross margin per metric ton, adjusted EBITDA, or distributable cash flow in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reporte d u nder GAAP. Our definitions of these non - GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, ther eby diminishing their utility. The estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA that can be expected from the development of new wood pellet plant capacity by Envi va following the Simplification Transaction is based on an internal financial analysis of the anticipated benefit from the incremental production capacity an d c ost savings we expect to realize as compared to drop - down acquisitions. Such estimates are based on numerous assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to sig nificant business, economic, financial, regulatory, and competitive risks that could cause actual results and amounts to differ materially from such estim ate s. A reconciliation of the estimated incremental adjusted EBITDA expected to be generated by a new wood pellet production plant constructed by Enviva to the close st GAAP financial measure, net income, is not provided because net income expected to be generated thereby is not available without unreasonable effort, in par t because the amount of estimated incremental interest expense related to the financing of such a plant and depreciation is not available at this time.

Q3 2021 UPDATE 28 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 29 Slide 5 (Enviva ) 1. Enviva’s total expected production capacity as of October 1, 2021, including the Lucedale plant after it is fully constructed an d able to achieve its nameplate throughput capacity. Also included is the nameplate capacity of approximately 600,000 metric tons per year (“MTPY”) for the wood pellet production plan t i n Greenwood, South Carolina (the “Greenwood plant”) after completion of the ongoing expansion project. The total expected production capacity does not include expansion projects under way at the Sampson, Hamlet, and Cottondale plants (the “Multi - Plant Expansions”). 2. On February 17, 2021, Enviva announced our goal of achieving net - zero greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions in our operations by 2030 . 3. As of October 1, 2021, and including the initial 60,000 MTPY tranche related to the recently announced industrial contract as we ll as the recently announced contracts with Drax Group PLC and a large Japanese trading house, Enviva’s total weighted - average remaining term of off - take contracts is approximately 14.5 y ears, with a total contracted revenue backlog of over $21 billion. 4. Given the quality and size of our current customer contract pipeline, we believe that we will be able to support the addition of at least six new fully contracted wood pellet production plants and several highly accretive expansion projects, which over approximately the next five years would roughly double the size o f o ur current production capacity. With the benefit of the capabilities, resources, and activities now housed within Enviva, we expect to construct our new fully contracted wood pellet pr oduction plants at an approximately 5x adjusted EBITDA project investment multiple as compared to a historic drop - down acquisition multiple of roughly 7.5x. For an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted EBITDA from a plant developed by Enviva internally to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Appendix. 5. Enviva reaffirmed its previously announced distribution guidance and expects to distribute $3.30 per unit for full - year 2021 and $3.62 per share for 2022.

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE 30 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (cont.) Slide 6 (Strategic Assets ) 1. Production volumes disclosed represent nameplate production capacity at each plant. 2. Enviva’s total expected production capacity as of October 1, 2021, including the Lucedale plant after it is fully constructed an d able to achieve its nameplate throughput capacity. Also included is the nameplate capacity of approximately 600,000 MTPY for the Greenwood plant, after completion of the ongoing expansion project. The total expected production capacity does not include the Multi - Plant Expansions (as defined below). 3. We export wood pellets from our wholly owned deep - water marine terminals at the Port of Chesapeake, Virginia (the “Chesapeake te rminal”) and the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina (the “Wilmington terminal”) and from third - party deep - water marine terminals in Mobile, Alabama (the “Mobile terminal”) , Panama City, Florida (the “Panama City terminal”) and Savannah, Georgia (the “Savannah terminal”). 4. Includes increased production capacity pursuant to the ongoing expansion projects (the “Mid - Atlantic Expansions”) at the wood pe llet production plants in Northampton, North Carolina and Southampton, Virginia. The Partnership continues to expect each plant to reach its expanded nameplate production ca pacity of 750,000 and 760,000 MTPY, respectively, by the end of 2021. 5. Enviva expects to complete its project to expand the Greenwood plant’s production capacity to 600,000 MTPY by year - end 2021. 6. After the Lucedale plant and Pascagoula terminal are fully constructed and ramped up and achieve their nameplate production o r t hroughput capacities, as applicable. The acquisition of the Lucedale plant included an embedded, fully permitted option to expand the Lucedale plant by about 300,000 MTP Y for around $60 million in estimated capital expenditures. The expansion at Lucedale, when fully ramped, is expected to generate incremental annual adjusted EBITDA of ~$1 5 m illion. 7. As part of the Simplification Transaction, Enviva acquired projects at 15 plant sites, all in various stages of evaluation an d d evelopment.

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE 31 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (cont.) Slide 8 (Q3 2021 Highlights ) 1. Additional details can be found in our press releases issued on November 3, 2021. 2. For the third quarter of 2021, Enviva declared a distribution of $0.840 per common unit, an 8.4% increase over the third quar ter of 2020, and its 25th consecutive quarterly distribution increase since its IPO. Enviva expects to distribute $3.30 and $3.62 per share for full - year 2021 and 2022, respect ively. 3. On November 3, 2021, Today, Enviva announced the signing of a new 10 - year take - or - pay off - take contract to supply our first dire ct industrial customer with 60,000 MTPY of wood pellets to be used as a feedstock in the refining process for SAF and other renewable fuels like biodiesel. Deliveries u nde r the initial tranche of the contract are scheduled to commence in 2023, with volumes potentially increasing to approximately 1.2 million MTPY by 2027, through a series of addit ion al 10 - year take - or - pay tranches, as the customer builds incremental production capacity. Enviva will be the sole supplier of this customer’s incremental wood pellet nee ds. The initial tranche's conditions precedent, are expected to be met during 2022. 4. On October 15, 2021, Enviva announced the acquisition of Enviva Holdings, LP (“Holdings”) and the elimination of incentive di str ibutions rights (the “Simplification Transaction”). Enviva also announced plans to convert from a master limited partnership to a corporation under the name of En viv a Inc. by the end of the year (the “Conversion”); a unitholder meeting is now scheduled to be held on December 17, 2021. 5. As of October 1, 2021, and including the initial 60,000 MTPY tranche related to the recently announced industrial contract, E nvi va’s total weighted - average remaining term of off - take contracts is approximately 14.5 years, with a total contracted revenue backlog of over $21 billion. 6. The contracted revenue backlog of over $21 billion is complemented by a similarly large and growing customer pipeline consist ing of long - term off - take opportunities in our traditional markets for biomass - fired power and heat generation in geographies ranging from the United Kingdom to the European U nion (including emerging opportunities in Germany and Poland), and from Asia (including incremental demand in Japan, emerging potential in Taiwan, and maturing opportu nit ies in South Korea) to developing industrial segments across the globe (including steel, cement, lime, chemicals, SAF, and biodiesel). Over the next 12 months, we expect to progress negotiations and convert numerous contract pipeline opportunities, as well as previously signed exclusive memoranda of understanding, into binding con tra cts. 7. Enviva is making significant progress toward its goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations by 2030, in part by using 100% renewable energy at our facilities. Enviva recently announced a supply contract with GreenGasUSA, an integrated renewable natural gas (“RNG”) solutio ns provider, which includes a 10 - year RNG off - take agreement to decarbonize natural gas - related emissions in our operations. The methane captured and emissions eliminated as a result of this contract are expected to offset approximately 75% of Enviva’s current direct emissions from its manufacturing operations, or Scope 1 emissions, on an ann ual basis for the duration of the 10 - year agreement, which includes renewal options for an additional 10 years. Additional details can be found in our press releases i ssu ed on November 3, 2021.

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE 32 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (cont.) Slide 9 (Financial Guidance ) 1. On October 15, 2021, Enviva updated full - year 2021 and 2022 guidance as a result of the Simplification Transaction and Conversio n. Updated guidance for full - year 2021 includes the expected post - closing results of the assets and operations acquired as part of the Simplification Transaction, incl uding approximately $15 million to $20 million of incremental selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). For full - year 2022, Enviva expects SG&A related to activitie s acquired with the Simplification Transaction to range from $37 million to $43 million. Additional details can be found in our press releases issued on November 3, 2021. 2. Our guidance for full - year 2021 is based on our actual performance on a stand - alone basis from January 1, 2021 through October 1 4, 2021 (the closing date of the Simplification Transaction), and our expected performance on a consolidated basis, inclusive of the assets and operations acq uir ed as part of the Simplification Transaction, from the closing date through the balance of the year ending December 31, 2021. This full - year 2021 guidance does not, however, reflect a potential recast of our historical results, which may be required under GAAP due to the Simplification Transaction. If recast, our results would reflect the acq uis ition of our former sponsor for the three - year period beginning January 1, 2019, even though the acquisition closed on October 14, 2021. We expect the addition of our forme r s ponsor’s development - related expenses and the elimination of intercompany transactions, including the MSA Fee Waivers and other forms of sponsor support, would cause o ur 2021 GAAP results on a recast basis to be significantly different from and lower than the 2021 guidance described below. We believe our 2021 guidance provides investor s w ith the best and most relevant information to evaluate the company’s financial and operating performance because it reflects Enviva’s actual and historically reported perf orm ance on a stand - alone basis through the closing date of the Simplification Transaction and expected performance on a consolidated basis from the closing date until y ear - end. We are currently unable to reconcile the 2021 guidance set forth below to the closest GAAP financial measures because we have neither prepared such a recast nor concl ude d it will be required; however, for purposes of comparability and transparency, we plan to measure our 2021 results on a non - recast basis against our 2021 guidance. 3. Enviva’s target leverage ratio is calculated pursuant to our credit facility. 4. Distributable Cash Flow. 5. We expect SG&A resulting from the Simplification Transaction to decline over time as we benefit from synergies and execute st rea mlining initiatives, with the expectation that we will reduce these expenses by approximately $5 million on an annual run - rate basis commencing in 2023.

 

 

Q3 2021 UPDATE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (cont.) 33 Slide 10 (Capitalization and Financial Framework ) 1. Dividend coverage ratio for the third quarter of 2021 is calculated on a cash basis, which means the unit count includes 7 mi lli on of the 16 million units issued on October 14, 2021. The 7 million units are not part of the dividend reinvestment commitment and therefore receive cash distributions on a qua rterly basis. 2. Enviva remains committed to conservatively managing its balance sheet, targeting a leverage ratio between 3.5 and 4.0 times, as calculated pursuant to our credit facility. 3. Debt to total capitalization calculation based on net debt divided by total capitalization figures provided on Slide 11. 4. We expect to retain an incremental ~$1 billion of cash flow over the next 5 years compared to the prior sponsor - led structure, d riven by the elimination of IDRs and lower plant investment multiples. Spanning the next 5 years, we anticipate that this improved return on invested capital will generate ov er $500 million of the approximately $1 billion of forecasted retained cash flow, with the other half coming from the elimination of IDRs, which represented an increasingly sig nif icant annual cash obligation. 5. Based on EVA’s closing price on October 29, 2021; $66.96. Based on 61,017,303 units outstanding as of October 29, 2021. Slide 11 (Net Zero Promise) 1. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from assets owned and controlled by Enviva. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions f rom heat, steam or electricity purchased by Enviva. Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions in Enviva’s upstream or downstream value chain. 2. Additional details can be found in Enviva’s press release issued on March 30, 2021 . Slide 12 (Enviva II ) 1. Enviva’s total expected production capacity as of October 1, 2021, including the Lucedale plant after it is fully constructed an d able to achieve its nameplate throughput capacity. Also included is the nameplate capacity of approximately 600,000 MTPY for the Greenwood plant, after completion of the ongoing expansion project. The total expected production capacity does not include the Multi - Plant Expansions. 2. Enviva expects to distribute $3.30 and $3.62 per share for full - year 2021 and 2022, respectively. 3. Enviva remains committed to conservatively managing its balance sheet, targeting a leverage ratio between 3.5 and 4.0 times. 4.

With the benefit of the capabilities, resources, and activities now housed within Enviva, we expect to construct our new full y c ontracted wood pellet production plants at an approximately 5x adjusted EBITDA project investment multiple as compared to a historic drop - down acquisition multiple of roughly 7.5x. For an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted EBITDA from the Lucedale plant expansion option to the most directly comparable GA AP financial measures, see Appendix. 6. As of October 29, 2021, based on Bloomberg’s total return data, which assumes reinvestment of distributions/dividends.

Q3 2021 UPDATE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (cont.) Slide 17 (Asset Development Pipeline ) 1. We have made significant investments in the Multi - Plant Expansions, commencing at Enviva’s Sampson and Hamlet plants, with Cotto ndale to follow. For an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted EBITDA from the Multi - Plant Expansions and the Lucedale plant expansion op tion to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Appendix. 2. For an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted EBITDA for the Multi - Plant Expansions and the Luceda le plant expansion option to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Appendix. 3. As part of the Simplification Transaction, Enviva acquired projects at 15 plant sites, all in various stages of evaluation an d d evelopment. One of these acquired sites is the fully contracted Epes plant, which is currently under development. We expect to commence construction in early 2022, with an in - servic e date scheduled for mid - 2023. Epes is designed and permitted to produce more than one million MTPY of wood pellets, which would make it the largest wood pellet pro duc tion plant in the world. 4. Construction of the Lucedale plant is nearing completion, and we expect commissioning to commence in late fourth - quarter 2021. F or an explanation of why we are unable to reconcile the estimated adjusted EBITDA from the Multi - Plant Expansions and the Lucedale plant expansion option to the most dire ctly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Appendix. 5. We expect construction of a prospective production plant in Bond, Mississippi (“Bond”) to commence once Epes is operational, but timing of construction could be expedited depending on the schedule and delivery requirements of additional off - take contract opportunities under negotiation and general market conditions. The Bond plant is being developed to produce between 750,000 and more than 1 million MTPY of wood pellets. 6. Given the quality and size of our current customer contract pipeline, we believe that we will be able to support the addition of at least six new fully contracted wood pellet production plants and several highly accretive expansion projects, which over approximately the next five years would roughly do uble the size of our current production capacity. With the benefit of the capabilities, resources, and activities now housed within Enviva, we expect to construct ou r n ew fully contracted wood pellet production plants at an approximately 5x adjusted EBITDA project investment multiple as compared to a historic drop - down acquisition multiple of r oughly 7.5x 35 Slide 16 (Contract Structure ) 1.

Q3 2021 UPDATE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (cont.) 36 Slide 27 (2021 & 2022 Guidance ) 1. The table and narrative include Enviva’s guidance for 2021 and 2022. Our guidance for full - year 2021 is based on our actual perf ormance on a stand - alone basis from January 1, 2021 through October 14, 2021 (the closing date of the Simplification Transaction), and our expected performance on a cons oli dated basis, inclusive of the assets and operations acquired as part of the Simplification Transaction, from the closing date through the balance of the year ending D ece mber 31, 2021. This full - year 2021 guidance does not, however, reflect a potential recast of our historical results, which may be required under GAAP due to the Simplifi cat ion Transaction. If recast, our results would reflect the acquisition of our former sponsor for the three - year period beginning January 1, 2019, even though the acquisition c losed on October 14, 2021. We expect the addition of our former sponsor’s development - related expenses and the elimination of intercompany transactions, including the MS A Fee Waivers and other forms of sponsor support, would cause our 2021 GAAP results on a recast basis to be significantly different from and lower than the 2021 guida nce described below. We believe our 2021 guidance provides investors with the best and most relevant information to evaluate the company’s financial and operating per for mance because it reflects Enviva’s actual and historically reported performance on a stand - alone basis through the closing date of the Simplification Transaction and expected performance on a consolidated basis from the closing date until year - end. We are currently unable to reconcile the 2021 guidance set forth below to the closest GAAP financia l measures because we have neither prepared such a recast nor concluded it will be required; however, for purposes of comparability and transparency, we plan to measure our 2021 results on a non - recast basis against our 2021 guidance. 2. On October 15, 2021, Enviva updated full - year 2021 and 2022 guidance as a result of the Simplification Transaction and Conversio n. Updated guidance for full - year 2021 includes the expected post - closing results of the assets and operations acquired as part of the Simplification Transaction, incl uding approximately $15 million to $20 million of incremental SG&A expenses. For full - year 2022, Enviva expects SG&A expenses related to activities acquired through the Simplific ation Transaction to range from $37 million to $43 million. Slide 26 (Adjusted EBITDA to Distributable Cash Flow ) 1. Dividend coverage ratio for the third quarter of 2021 is calculated on a cash basis, which means the unit count includes 7 mi lli on of the 16 million units issued on October 14, 2021. The 7 million units are not part of the dividend reinvestment commitment and therefore receive cash distributions on a qua rterly basis.
