Q3 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026TL;DR.

Management highlighted progress on its RNG platform, with two new facilities set to bring all three online entering fiscal 2027 and anticipated annual RNG injection of 750,000–800,000 MMBTUs, while reducing debt by more than $36 million in the quarter and maintaining a $0.325 per unit quarterly distribution.
