Clean Energy Fuels Corp. reported a significant widening of its net loss for the full year 2025, reaching $(222.0) million compared to $(83.1) million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA also declined to $67.6 million from $76.6 million in the prior year, despite a modest increase in revenue and RNG gallons sold. While the company highlighted positive operational developments, such as the completion of a large RNG production facility and a $65 million debt paydown, the deterioration in core profitability metrics is a key concern for investors. The 2026 outlook projects a continued GAAP net loss, though Adjusted EBITDA is expected to see a slight recovery. Investors should monitor the company's ability to improve its bottom line and leverage its new RNG production capacity.
