Verbio SE's Strong Third Quarter Driven by GHG Quota Market

Leipzig, May 13, 2026 - Verbio SE reports a robust third-quarter performance, propelled by strong greenhouse gas (GHG) quota demand. The company achieved positive free cash flow, improved operating cash flow, and reduced net financial debt. Key to these results were increased biodiesel and biomethane production, setting new records with 888,691 tonnes of biodiesel and 1,040 GWh of biomethane. Revenue grew to EUR 1,340.7 million, reflecting a stabilised GHG quota market. EBITDA rose to EUR 105.7 million, primarily due to enhanced gross margins in Bioethanol/Biomethane.

Despite declines in third-quarter revenue, Verbio's targeted strategy and market conditions led to increased profitability. A new production record for biomethane in Nevada contrasted a temporary dip in bioethanol due to European fermentation issues. Revenue and margins benefited from lower grain prices and robust GHG quota demand. The German Bundesrat's approval to increase GHG quotas by 2040 further strengthens Verbio's market position, opening opportunities for expanded biofuel production.
