“Additionally, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the political, economic and social instability in Venezuela and the Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions have collectively disrupted supply chains for crude oil and natural gas in certain of the markets in which we operate. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and other geopolitical tensions, as well as the related international response, have exacerbated global supply chain disruptions, which have resulted in, and may continue to result in, shortages in materials and services and related uncertainties. …”see in full comparison

see in full comparisonIncreasedInvestor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds and other influential investors have in the past increased attention to climate change,change,circular economy, and other ESG matters, as well as investor and societal expectations regarding voluntary ESG disclosures and consumerconsumerexpectations regarding sustainability may result in increased costs, reduced demand for our products, or other adverse impacts on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, renewable natural gas faces competition from several other low-carbonlow-carbonenergy technologies, such as solar or wind energy production, among others. Regulatory bodies may adopt rules that substantially favorfavorcertain energy alternatives over others, which may not always include renewable natural gas. Additionally, energy generation from thethecombustion of renewable natural gas results in GHG emissions. Fines, carbon taxes, or additional infrastructure to control methane emissionsemissionsat both our conventional and renewable natural gas facilities may increase our costs. As such, certain consumers may elect not to consider renewable natural gas for their renewable energy or other ESG goals. The trend of increased environmental regulation is not linear and can fluctuate depending on the administration and jurisdiction, even within the same country. For example, at the same time, “anti-ESG” sentiment has recently gained momentum with a number of stakeholders, government entities, regulators and lawmakers. The proposal or enactment of anti-ESG legislation, regulation, policies and enforcement priorities may result in increased scrutiny, reputational risk, lawsuits or market access restrictions. We cannot foresee the potential impact and unintended consequences that future executive actions or the changes in enforcement of existing laws, rules, and orders may have on our business. Though we are closely following developments in this area and changes in the regulatory landscape in the United States and other jurisdictions, we cannot predict with precision or quantify how or when challenges may arise and ultimately impact our business.

However, such risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties
that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe
are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect us. If
any of the risks described herein materialize, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected. In that case, you may lose all or part of your
investment. This Form 10-K is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.
The development of our estimated PUDs may
take longer and may require higher levels of capital expendituresexpenditure than we currently anticipate. Therefore, our estimated PUDs may not
ultimately be developed or produced.
AllMost of the reserves attributable
to our properties are undeveloped. Development of proved undeveloped reserves may take longer and require higher levels of capital expendituresexpenditure
than we currently anticipate. Delays in the development of our reserves, increases in costs to drill and develop such reserves, or decreases
in commodity prices will reduce the value of our estimated PUDs and future net revenues estimated for such reserves and may result in
some projects becoming uneconomic. In addition, delays in the development of reserves could require us to reclassify our PUDs as unproved
reserves.
We have drilled and tested
certain exploration and development wells, but as of December 31, 2024, we had not successfully converted an exploration well or development
well to a producing natural gas well nor successfully produced hydrocarbons, or revenues from drilling operations. We achieved first production
of five drilled and tested wells in the Longanesi field in March 2025, following the installation of the temporary processing facility.
The permanent processing facility is expected to be constructed over the remainder of 2025 and earlythrough 2026 and commissioned in mid-2026.
2027. Natural gas exploration and production has
have a high degree of risk. The future development of a significant portion of our properties will
require obtaining permits and may
require additional financing. As a result, we are subject to all of the risks associated with establishing
new drilling operations and
business enterprises, including, among others:
We are a development-stage
company. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have not generated any revenue from our operations other than
from sales of electricity from two renewable gas assets that were purchased in July 2024. We face many of the risks
commonly encountered
by other new businesses, including the lack of an established operating history, need for additional capital and
personnel, and competition.
There is no assurance that our business will be successful or that we can ever operate profitably.profitably long-term. We
may not be able to effectively manage
the demands required, such that we may be unable to implement our business plan or achieve profitability.plan.
In 2015, the Italian government
published the Law 208/2015 which prohibited research, prospection and exploitation in waters within a 12-mile limit of the Italian Peninsula.
Rockhopper Italia S.p.A., Rockhopper Mediterranean Ltd, and Rockhopper Exploration Plc (collectively, “Rockhopper”), was
subsequently subsequently
denied an application for an offshore production concession which had been pending since 2008. Rockhopper filed a request
for arbitration
to the International Center for the Settlement of the Investment Disputes (ICSID) against Italian Republic for the latter’s
alleged alleged
failure to fulfill the legislative and regulatory commitments made in relation to the investments in the Ombrina Mare oil and
gas field
located off the Italian coast in the Adriatic Sea (ICSID Case no. ARB/17/14). On August 23, 20222022, Italy was ordered to pay
compensation compensation
to Rockhopper for the breach of its obligations. The Italian Republic sought to annul the award, and the related proceeding
is still pending
at ICSID for the decision of the “ad hoc Committee”. The Italian Republic also filed a request to
continue the stay
of the enforcement of the award. On April 24, 20232023, the “ad hoc Committee” issued a decision on the provisional
stay of enforcement
of the award, providing that the provisional stay of enforcement is set to be lifted once Rockhopper puts in place
relevant escrow arrangements.
Similarly, our failure to obtain necessary government authorizations or the enactment of a legislative ban on exploration and production
could result in indirect expropriation
of our investment and assets.
In
addition, we may become
subject to additional laws or regulations issued by federal or state government bodies, which are subject to
influence resulting from
frequent changes in political party control or changes to political priorities or policies. We may need to adapt
compliance strategies
and operationoperations to meet new regulatory requirements, which can be costly and time-consuming.
Natural gas prices are affected by a number
of factors beyond our control, including many of which that are unknown and cannot be anticipated, and we cannot predict with certainty future
future potential movements in the price for these commodities.
The prices for natural gas
in Italy have historically been volatile and have been particularly volatile in recent years. We expect commodity price volatility
to continue or increase in the future due to rising macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions.
Prolonged
low, and/or significant
or extended declines in,in natural gas prices may adversely affect our revenues, operating income, cash
flows, financial projections, and
financial position, particularly if we are unable to control our development costs during periods of
lower natural gas prices. Declines
in prices could also adversely affect our drilling activities and the amount of natural gas that we
can produce economically, which may
result in our having to make significant downward adjustments to the value of our assets and could
cause us to incur non-cash impairment
charges to earnings. Reductions in cash flows from lower commodity prices may require us to incur
debt or reduce our capital spending,
which could reduce our production and our reserves, negatively affecting our future rate of growth.
Concerns over global economic
conditions, stock market volatility,
energy costs, geopolitical issues (including continued hostilities between Russia and Ukraine as
well as other conflicts, including in
the Middle East), inflation and central bank interest rate increasesfluctuations in response thereto, the availability
and cost of credit, and
slowing of global economic growth and fears of a recession have contributed and may continue to contribute to
increased economic uncertainty
and diminished expectations for the global economy. Global economic conditions, geopolitical issues and
inflation have constrainedand may continue
to constrain global and domestic supply chains, which may in the future impact our ability to develop our reserves in accordance with
with our drilling and completions schedule. Additionally, global economic conditions have a significant impact on commodity prices and any
any stagnation or deterioration in global economic conditions could result in decreased demand and, thus, lower prices for natural gas. Such
Such uncertainty could also result in higher natural gas prices, which could potentially result in increased inflation worldwide and could
negatively impact demand for natural gas.
Our business is capital intensive.
We make and expect to continue to make substantial capital expenditures for the development and acquisition of natural gas reserves,
as as
well as related infrastructure. If these projects are undertaken, they may not be completed on schedule, at the budgeted cost or at
all. all.
To date, we have invested approximately and$250m in the initial development of our properties. While we expect to be able to
fund our future growth
primarily out of cash currently on AleAnna’sour balance sheet, from cash flow from the Longanesi, Trava, and Gradizza developments,
and through recycling of cash flow from future developments, we have not generated any revenue from our principal business activities
to date and do not have available commitments from debt financing sources. While
we are exploring Resource Backed Loan (“RBL”)
financing products with several financial institutions, there is no guarantee
that such financing will be available to us. We believe
that the cash currently on AleAnna’sour balance sheet is sufficient, at a minimum, to
cover general and administrative expenses and
continue operating our revenue-producing assets through at least the end of the first quarter
of 2026. Despite2027.Despite first production at Longanesi
being achieved in March 2025 and having adequate cash on hand to cover general and administrative
expenses and maintain operations, we
may be required to curtail discretionary development efforts on Gradizza, Trava, renewable natural
gas asset acquisitions, and other conventional
prospects. Lower-than-expected cash flow from or an interruption in operations of Longanesi,
combined with delays in development of Gradizza,
Trava, renewable natural gas asset acquisitions, and other conventional prospects may
lead to a deteriorated financial condition, erode
potential value due to delays in our discretionary developments, and adversely affect
our results of operations.
To manage our exposure to
price price
risk, we may in the future enter into derivative arrangements, utilizing commodity derivatives with respect to a portion of our
future future
production. Such hedges are designed to lock in prices in order to limit volatility and increase the predictability of cash flow.
These These
transactions may be required to the extent we utilize RBL financing in the future and such limit our potential gains if natural gas
prices prices
rise above the price established by the hedge, and we may be required to post cash collateral or letters of credit with our hedge
counterparties counterparties
to the extent our liability under the derivative contract exceeds specified thresholds, which would negatively impact
our liquidity. Derivative
transactions may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which
our production is less
than expected or an event materially impacts natural gas prices or the relationship between the hedged price index
and the natural gas
sales price.
Our strategic success and financial results
depend on our ability to identify, acquire, develop and operate renewable natural gas plants.
The
acquisition of existing
renewable natural gas plants or conventional assets involves numerous risks, many of which may be indiscoverableundiscoverable through the due diligence
process, including exposure to previously existing liabilities and unanticipated costs associated with the pre-acquisition period; difficulty
in integrating the acquired plants into our existing business; and, if the plants are in new markets, the risks of entering markets where
we have limited experience, less knowledge of differences in market terms for gas rights agreements and off-take arrangements. While
we perform due diligence on prospective acquisitions, we may not be able to discover all potential operational deficiencies in such plants.
A failure to achieve the financial returns we expect when we acquire renewable natural gas plants or conventional assets could have a
material adverse effect
on our ability to implement our growth strategy and, ultimately, our business, financial condition, and results
of operations. Risks
related to acquiring existing plants, include:
Certain
persons, associations
and groups could oppose renewable energy plants in general or our plants specifically, citing, for example, misuse
of water resources,
landscape degradation, land use, food scarcity or price increase and harm to the environment. Moreover, regulation
regulations may restrict the
development of renewable energy plants in certain areas. Biogas production activities (both conventional natural gas
and renewable natural
gas) are subject to several environmental laws and regulations. The main environmental legislation governing environmental
matters for
our renewable natural gas developments is the Consolidated Environmental Act issued by Legislative Decree 152/2006.
As a result, we cannot guarantee
that the renewable energy
plants we currently plan to develop or, to the extent applicable, are developing, willmay not ultimately be authorized
or accepted by the
local authorities or the local population. For example, the local population could oppose the construction of a renewable
energy plant
or infrastructure at the local government level, which could in turn lead to the imposition of more restrictive requirements.
This type
of negative response may lead to legal, public relations or other challenges that could impede our ability to meet our construction targets,
targets, achieve commercial operations for a project on schedule, address the changing needs of our plants over time or generate revenues.
If a significant portion of
the local population were to mobilize against a renewable energy plant, it may become difficult, or impossible, for us to obtain or retain
the required building permits and authorizations. Moreover, such challenges could result in the cancellation or modification of existing
authorizations including,including adoption of additional mitigation requirements or even, in extreme cases, the dismantling of existing renewable
energy plants.
A decrease in acceptance of
renewable energy plants by local populations, an increase in the number of legal challenges, or an unfavorable outcome of such legal
challenges challenges
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also be subject to labor unavailability
due due
to multiple simultaneous plants in a geographic region. If we are unable to grow and manage the capacity that we expect from our
plants plants
in our anticipated timeframes,timeframe, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A decline in prices for certain
fuels or reduced Italian governmental incentives for renewable energy sources, or renewable natural gas specifically, could also make
renewable natural gas less cost-competitive on an overall basis. If the price of alternative energy sources falls, including crude oil,
any revenues that we generate from renewable natural gas could decline and we may be unable to produce products that are a commercially
viable alternative to alternative energy sources. Further, throughout the central and southern EU (but primarily focused in Italy and
Germany), member states’ interest in creating new sources of renewable energy has supported the construction of nearly 10,000 AD’sbiogas
and biomethane production facilities over the past 15 years. However, the Italian government’s financial incentives and subsidies
supporting these activities are
set to expire in JanuaryJune 20252027 absent additional government action,action and are expected to be replaced by attractive
biomethane incentives.
Such incentives are designed to bring biomethane into the national pipeline transmission system in order to deliver
the gas to higher
efficiency, utility-scale, natural gas power generation stations. In order to continue biogas operations, the farms
are forced to seek
a new use for the product, which will be dominated by conversion to biomethane. To support this conversion, the Italian
government has
implemented a government-backed biomethane floor price through the end of 2039 of €124 per MWh, equivalent to $37.60
per (103ft3).
If pricing of alternative energy sources becomes more favorable or the Italian government revises
its energy policy to suspend or halt
financial support of renewable natural gas, our business, financial condition and results of operations
will be adversely affected.
In the renewable natural gas
industry, we believe our primary competitors will be other renewable natural gas companies with existing plants and farm owners that
either either
operate their own renewable natural gas plants or may do so in the future. Increased competition for such plants, equipment, and
suppliers suppliers,
may increase the price we pay for the acquisition costs for existing plants or the amount we have to pay farm owners in the
form of equity
interests or feedstock supply contracts, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We may
also find ourselves
competing more frequently with farm owners to the extent they decide to develop their own renewable natural gas plants,
which would also
reduce the number of opportunities for us to develop new renewable natural gas plants. While we anticipate receiving
the subsidized floor
price for our renewable natural gas, we may also compete with other renewable natural gas developers for production
off-take agreements
with existing and potential buyers of renewable natural gas.
Farms contain organic material
whose decomposition causes the generation of gas consisting primarily of methane, which renewable natural gas plants use to generate
renewable renewable
natural gas or renewable electricity, and carbon dioxide. The estimation of renewable natural gas production volume ismay be
inaccurate and can lead to an inexact process
and is dependent on many site-specific conditions, including the estimated annual waste
volume, composition of waste, regionalweather climateconditions and
the capacity and construction of the farm. Production levels are subject to a number
of additional risks, including illness and disease
risks in the farm’s agriculture producing the waste feedstock, a failure or
wearing out of our or our farm owners’ or operators’
equipment; equipment, an inability to find suitable replacement equipment or parts; parts,
lower than expected supply or quality of the project’s
source of renewable natural gas and faster than expected diminishment of
such renewable natural gas supply;supply, or volume disruption in our
fuel supply collection system. As a result, the amount of renewable natural
gas actually produced by the farm sites from which our production
facilities will collect renewable natural gas or the volume of electricity
or renewable natural gas generated from those sites may in
the future vary from our initial estimates, and those variations may be material.
While we expect to own the
anaerobic digesters and upgrading units and underlying land on the farm sites in which our plants will operate, we will not own the entirety
of farm sites and we may only own equipment and enter into surface or easement leases. Therefore, we may depend on contractual relationships
with, and the cooperation of, the farm site owners and operators for our operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew
any feedstock supply contracts that expire in the future on commercial terms that are attractive to us or at all,all. and anyAny failure to do so,
so, or any other disruption in the relationship with any of the farm operators from whose farm sites our plants reside on, may have a material
material adverse effect on our business operations, prospects, financial condition and operational results.
In addition, the ownership
interests in the land subject to these easements, leases and rights-of-way may be subject to mortgages securing loans or other liens
(such
as tax liens) and other easements, lease rights and rights-of-way of third parties that were created prior to our plants’
easements, easements,
leases and rights-of-way. As a result, certainsome of our plants’ rights under these easements, leases or rights-of-way may
be subject,
and subordinate, to the rights of those third parties. In the event we do not own the land underlying our facilities, we
may not be able
to protect our operating plants against all risks of loss of our rights to use the land on which our plants are located,
and any such
loss or curtailment of our rights to use the land on which our plants are located and any increase in rent due on such lands
could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial performance
and and
growth strategy depend in part on government policies that support renewable generation and enhance the economic viability of owning
renewable renewable
natural gas or renewable electric assets. If we are unable to utilize various government incentives to acquire additional renewable
assets assets
in the future, or the terms of such incentives are revised in a manner that is less favorable to us, we may suffer a material
adverse adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
IncreasedInvestor advocacy groups,
certain institutional investors, investment funds and other influential investors have in the past increased attention to climate change,
change, circular economy, and other ESG matters, as well as investor and societal expectations regarding voluntary ESG disclosures and consumer
consumer expectations regarding sustainability may result in increased costs, reduced demand for our products, or other adverse impacts
on our
business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, renewable natural gas faces competition from several other low-carbon
low-carbon energy technologies, such as solar or wind energy production, among others. Regulatory bodies may adopt rules that substantially favor
favor certain energy alternatives over others, which may not always include renewable natural gas. Additionally, energy generation from the
the combustion of renewable natural gas results in GHG emissions. Fines, carbon taxes, or additional infrastructure to control methane emissions
emissions at both our conventional and renewable natural gas facilities may increase our costs. As such, certain consumers may elect not
to consider
renewable natural gas for their renewable energy or other ESG goals. The trend of increased environmental regulation is not linear and
can fluctuate depending on the administration and jurisdiction, even within the same country. For example, at the same time, “anti-ESG”
sentiment has recently gained momentum with a number of stakeholders, government entities, regulators and lawmakers. The proposal or
enactment of anti-ESG legislation, regulation, policies and enforcement priorities may result in increased scrutiny, reputational risk,
lawsuits or market access restrictions. We cannot foresee the potential impact and unintended consequences that future executive actions
or the changes in enforcement of existing laws, rules, and orders may have on our business. Though we are closely following developments
in this area and changes in the regulatory landscape in the United States and other jurisdictions, we cannot predict with precision or
quantify how or when challenges may arise and ultimately impact our business.
Our primary operations are in anotherItaly, countrymaking
us vulnerable to risks associated with operating in one geographic area and we are subject to political, economic and other uncertainties.
All of our natural gas assets
and renewable gas assets are currently located in the country of Italy.Italy Our operations in areas outside the United States are subject
to various risks inherent in foreign operations. Thesewith risks may include, among other things:
AleAnna’s businesses
are also subject to regulatory risks mainly in Italy’s domestic market. The Italian Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and
Environment Environment
(the “Authority”) is entrusted with certain powers in the matter of natural gas and power pricing. Specifically,
the Authority
retains a surveillance power on pricing in the natural gas market in Italy and the power to establish selling tariffs for
the supply of
natural gas to residential and commercial users who are opting for adhering to regulated tariffs until the market is fully
opened. Developments
in the regulatory framework intended to increase the level of market liquidity or of deregulation or intended to
reduce operators’
ability to transfer to customers cost increases in raw materials may negatively affect future sales margins of
gas and electricity, operating
results, and cash flow.
All of our natural gas and renewable gas properties are located in the country of Italy, making us vulnerable to risks associated with operating in one geographic area.
While we maintain access to
acreage across Italy, all of our physical conventional natural gas assets, and most of our permits, are located in the Po Valley in Northern
Italy and all of our current renewable natural gas assets are located in the region of Tuscany in Central Italy. As a result of this
concentration, concentration,
we may be disproportionately exposed to the impact of regional supply and demand factors, delays or interruptions of production
from wells
in this area caused by governmental regulation, appropriation and banning, processing or transportation capacity constraints,
availability availability
of equipment, facilities, personnel or services market limitations or interruption of the processing or transportation of
natural gas.
In addition, the effect of fluctuations on supply and demand may become more pronounced within specific geographic natural
gas producing
areas, which may cause these conditions to occur with greater frequency or magnify the effects of these conditions. We
operate in geographic
areas with a constantly evolving political landscape, to the extent regulatory regimes or prohibitions are implemented
or return in the
areas in which we operate, our business will be disproportionately affected due to our geographic concentration. Due
to the concentrated
geographic nature of our portfolio of properties, a number of our properties could experience any of the same conditions
at the same time, resulting
in a relatively greater impact on our results of operations than they might have on other companies that
have a more diversified portfolio
of properties. Additionally, we do not hold title to our properties in Italy,properties, but hold exploration permits and
exploitation concessions
granted by the Italian government. Under Italian law, each exploration permit is an exclusive right to explore
for hydrocarbons and is
subject to two renewals of three years each, being granted after the initial term of six years (article
6, paragraph 4, of Law 9/1991).
To the extent we are unable to timely renew or obtain permits, our operations could be delayed or interrupted.
Such delays or interruptions
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have less control over our investments
in foreign properties than we would have over domestic investments.
Our exploration, development
and production activities are subject to various political, economic and other uncertainties, including but not limited to changes, sometimes
frequent or marked, in energy policies or the personnel administering them, expropriation of property, cancellation or modification of
contract rights, changes in laws and policies governing operations of foreign-based companies, unilateral renegotiation of contracts by
governmental entities, uncertainties as to whether the laws and regulations will be applicable in any particular circumstance, uncertainty
as to whether we will be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the applicable governing authorities compliance with governmental
or contractual requirements, redefinition of international boundaries or boundary disputes, foreign exchange restrictions, currency fluctuations,
foreign currency availability, royalty and tax increases, changes to tax legislation or the imposition of new taxes, the imposition of
production bonuses or other charges and other risks arising out of governmental sovereignty over the areas in which our operations are
conducted.
Our operations require, and
any future opportunistic acquisitions may require, protracted negotiations with host governments, local governments and communities, local
competent authorities, national companies, and third parties. Host governments may also conduct audits of our operations, the results
of which may have a significant negative impact on our reported earnings or cash flows. Host governments may seek to participate in natural
gas projects in a manner that could be diluted to our interests. Host governments may also require us to hire a specified percentage of
local citizens in our operations. In addition, if a dispute arises with respect to our foreign operations, we may be subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons, especially foreign ministries and national companies,
to the jurisdiction of the U.S.
We maycurrently expandhave ourglobal operationsoperations, globally,including
in Italy, which
would subjectsubjects us to additional anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, trade compliance, economic sanctions
and similar
laws, and non-compliance with such laws may subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business, financial condition
and/or
results of operations. We may also be subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair our ability to compete
in international
markets or subject us to liability if we violate the controls.
IfWe wecurrently expandhave ourglobal operationsoperations,
globally,including wein wouldItaly, bewhich subjectsubjects to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, U.S. domestic bribery
laws, and other anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we would conduct business. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery
anti-bribery laws have been enforced aggressively in recent years and are interpreted broadly to generally prohibit companies, their employees,
employees, and their third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits
benefits to recipients in the public or private sector. If we engage in international operations, sales and business with partners and third-party
third-party intermediaries to market our products, we may be required to obtain additional permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals. In
In addition, we or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies
agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. If third-party intermediaries, or our employees, agents, representatives, contractors,
or partners
engage in violations while engaging in business on behalf of the Company, we may be subject to criminal or civil liability,
even if we
do not authorize such activities.
We are exposed to foreign
currency currency
risk from our foreign operations. A weakening U.S. dollar will have the effect of increasing costs, while a strengthening
U.S. dollar
will have the effect of reducing operating costs. The exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated
in widely in
recent years in response to international political conditions, general economic conditions, theand European sovereign debt crisis and
other factors beyond our control.
Our financial statements, presented in U.S. dollars, may be affected by foreign currency fluctuations
through both translation risk
and transaction risk.
Our business may be affected by changes in applicable sanctions or export controls laws and regulations. Similarly, significant changes or developments in U.S. laws or policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies and tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial statements.
Our international operations expose us to compliance obligations and risks under applicable economic sanctions, export controls and trade embargoes, such as those imposed, administered and enforced by the United States and the United Kingdom and other relevant sanctions authorities. In response to ongoing military hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other jurisdictions imposed new and additional economic sanctions, export controls and other trade restrictions targeting Russia, Belarus and certain regions of Ukraine, including measures that impose: (i) restrictions on engaging in specified activities or transactions, or any and all activities and transactions, with, involving or for the benefit of certain designated Russian and Belarusian entities or individuals; (ii) a specific prohibition on new investment in the Russian energy sector, broadly defined to include the procurement, exploration, extraction, drilling, mining, harvesting, production, refinement, liquefaction, gasification, regasification, conversion, enrichment, fabrication or transport of petroleum, natural gas, liquified natural gas, natural gas liquids, or petroleum products or other products capable of producing energy; and (iii) a broad prohibition on new investment in Russia.
Additionally, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, the political, economic and social instability in Venezuela and the Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions have collectively disrupted supply chains for crude oil and natural gas in certain of the markets in which we operate. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and other geopolitical tensions, as well as the related international response, have exacerbated global supply chain disruptions, which have resulted in, and may continue to result in, shortages in materials and services and related uncertainties. Such shortages have resulted in, and may continue to result in, cost increases for labor, fuel, materials and services, and could continue to cause costs to increase and also result in the scarcity of certain materials. Any economic slowdown or recession in Europe or globally, including as a result of such supply chain disruptions or sanctions, may also impact demand and depress the price for crude oil, natural gas or other products, which could have significant adverse consequences on our financial condition and the financial condition of our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, and could diminish our liquidity. Further, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and political, economic and social instability in Venezuela could escalate into broader conflicts or greater economic and social instability that could further disrupt energy operations and supply chains globally.
Significant changes or developments in U.S. laws and policies, such as laws and policies surrounding international trade, foreign affairs, manufacturing and development and investment in the territories and countries where we, our customers or suppliers operate, can materially adversely affect our business and financial statements. The adoption or expansion of tariffs in the future, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs, trade agreements or related policies may have a material adverse effect on our supply chain and access to equipment, our costs and profit margins. This could cause our business and financial results to suffer.
We are a holding company and our organizational
structure is what is commonly referred to as an Up-C structure, whereby all of the equity interests in AleAnna Energy are held by HoldCo
and our sole material asset is our equity interest in HoldCo and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from HoldCo to pay taxes,taxes
and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.
We are a holding company and
have no material assets other than our equity interest in HoldCo. We have no independent means of generating revenue. To the extent that
we need funds and HoldCo or its subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under
the terms of any financing or other contractual arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely
affect our liquidity and financial condition. If HoldCo does not distribute sufficient funds to us to pay our taxes or other liabilities,
we may default on contractual obligations or have to borrow additional funds. In the event that we are required to borrow additional
funds, funds,
it could adversely affect our liquidity and subjectexpose us to additional restrictions imposed by lenders.
If we cannot meet the continued listing
requirements of Nasdaq,The Nasdaq
Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), Nasdaq may delist our securities.
Our management team has limited recent experience
in operating a public company.
Our executive officers have
limited recent experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage
our operations to comply with the regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. We may not have adequate
personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the policies, practices or internal controls over financial
reporting required of public companies in the United States. As a result, we may be required to pay higher outside legal, accounting
or consulting costs than our competitors, and our management team may have to devote a higher proportion of their time to issues relating
to compliance with the laws applicable to public companies, both of which might put us at a disadvantage relative to competitors.
We have previously identified material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over
financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report the Company’s financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely
affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results, and we may face litigation as
a result.
Effective internal controls
are necessary to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. AleAnnaWe isare a newlyrelatively new public company that is in the process
of adding
resources with the appropriate level of experience and technical expertise to oversee AleAnna’sour business processes and controls.
AtDespite significant progress made in 2025, at this time, AleAnnawe doesdo not have the necessary business processes and related internal controls
formally designed and implemented.
As a result, AleAnna identified
material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim
financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In connection with the preparation
of AleAnna’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, management of AleAnna identified material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, AleAnna management did not maintain an effective control environment
in accordance with the COSO framework as the Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of accounting and reporting resources commensurate
with our financial reporting requirements.
InAs a result, in connection
with the preparation
of AleAnna’sour financial statements as of and for the yearsyear ended December 31, 20242025, and 2023,our management of AleAnna identified
material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as follows:reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud, and material weaknesses could limit the ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements. We have made significant progress on designing and implementing a plan to remediate the material weaknesses identified. Our plan includes the below:
We are in the early stages
of designing and implementing a plan to remediate the material weaknesses identified. Our plan includes the below:
We
cannot assure you that
these measures will remediate the material weaknesses described above. The implementation of these remediation
measures is in the early stages progress
and will require further validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s
internal controls over
a sustained period of financial reporting cycles and, as a result, the timing of when the Company will be
able to remediate the material
weaknesses is uncertain and the Company may not remediate these material weaknesses during the year ended
December 31, 2025.2026. If
the steps the Company takes do not remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner, there could be a
reasonable possibility that
these control deficiencies or others may result in a material misstatement of its annual or interim financial
statements that would not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This, in turn, could jeopardize the Company’s ability to
comply with its reporting
obligations, limit its ability to access the capital markets and adversely impact its stock price.
We are required by Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting in our second annual report following the completion of the Business Combination.reporting. The process of designing and
implementing internal control over financial reporting required to comply with
this requirement will be time-consuming, costly and complicated.
If during the evaluation and testing process we identify one or more
other material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting our management will be unable to assert that our internal
control over financial reporting is effective. In addition, if we
fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls,
as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time
to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing
basis that we have effective internal controls over financial
reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We do not have extensive experience operating
as a
public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws and may not be able to adequately develop and implement the governance,
compliance, compliance,
risk management and control infrastructure and culture required for a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act.
We do not have extensive experience
operating operating
as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws. Our officers and directors have limited recent experience in managing
a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws, which makes their ability to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations
uncertain. Our failure to comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations could subject us to U.S. regulatory scrutiny or
sanction, which could harm itsour reputation and share price.
AleAnna has not previously
been required to prepare or file periodic or other reports with the SEC or to comply with the other requirements of U.S. federal
securities laws. Additionally, AleAnna has not previously been required to establish and maintain the disclosure controls and procedures,
and internal control over financial reporting applicable
to a public company under U.S. federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. We may experience errors, mistakes and
lapses in processes and controls, resulting in failure to meet requisite U.S. standards.

AleAnna, Inc.
AleAnna is a natural gas resource
companydeveloper focused on delivering critical natural gas supplies to Europe through both onshore conventional natural gas exploration and
renewable renewable
natural gas development in Italy. We have several conventional natural gas discoveries including the Longanesi field, located
in the Po
Valley in Northern Italy, which is one of Italy’s largest modern gas discoveries. We retain a 33.5% working interest
in the Longanesi
field with our working interest partner, and operator, Padana. We acquired our working interest in the Longanesi field
through a 2016
transaction with Enel. We also retain wholly owned concessions, permits, and pending applications on other exploration
and development
prospects across Italy which are supported by proprietary modern 3D seismic reservoir imaging. In 2021, we launched a renewable natural
gas development business focused on bringing to market carbon-negative renewable natural gas derived from animal and agricultural waste.
Planned principal
operations have not yet commenced. As of December 31, 2024, although we had generated revenue from electricity sales from two
renewable natural gas assets, we had not generated any revenues from our principal business activities to date. Our recent
drilling and exploration activities involve the drilling
and testing of three Longanesi development wells (during 2022 and 2023) as well as the completionre-completion of two
original discovery wells.
We had no drilling activity during the yearyears ended December 31, 2024,2025 andor drilled and completed one gross
Longanesi development well and worked over and completed one additional Longanesi development well (0.335 net to our interest)
during the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. We had no other exploratory or development drilling during
years ended
December 31, 20242025 or 2023.2024. Our Longanesi, Trava and Gradizza wells were classified by DeGolyer as proved undeveloped reserves as
as such wells had not yet started production as of December 31, 20242025 and require future investments to install production pipelines
and production facilities prior
to being fully completed and producible. FollowingHowever, tie-inas ofnoted these wells andin the installation“Recent ofDevelopments” a

from the Longanesi field in March 2025. The
permanent processing facility is expected to be constructed over the remainder of 2025 and early 2026 and commissioned in
mid-2026.
In 2023, we launched a renewable natural gas development business focused on bringing to market carbon-negative renewable natural gas derived from animal and agricultural waste. We currently generate revenue from electricity sales from two renewable natural gas assets.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to AleAnna Energy which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. This conclusion was based on the fact that Nautilus Resources LLC (“Nautilus”) had a controlling financial interest in AleAnna Energy prior to the Business Combination and has a controlling financial interest in AleAnna, which includes AleAnna Energy as a wholly owned subsidiary. The net assets of SPAC are stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). The Business Combination with respect to AleAnna Energy was not treated as a change in control primarily due to Nautilus receiving the controlling voting stake in AleAnna and the ability of Nautilus to nominate the full board of directors and management of AleAnna.
We incurred $9.5 million in
transaction costs related to the Business Combination. Approximately $0.6 million of these costs were recorded as a reduction to additional
paid-in capital, up to the amount of cash proceeds received in the transaction. Of the remaining $8.9 million, approximately $0.5 million
represented prepaid directors and officers insurance premiums that were recorded to other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, and
$8.4 million represented legal, accounting, consulting and advisory fees which were recorded as Business Combination transaction expenses
in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.income (loss).
Gradizza Concession – Regional Intesa Approval
During the third quarter of 2025, we reached an agreement with the Emilia Romagna Region (the “Intesa”) in support of our pending application for a production concession related to the Gradizza field. The second application was approved in January 2026. These approvals represent a significant milestone required prior to first production.
AleAnna holds a 100% working interest in the Gradizza field and serves as the operator. Gradizza is expected to become the Company’s first operated producing asset. According to the Company’s reserve report as of December 31, 2025, Gradizza contains 703 MMcf of proved reserves.
On March 13, 2025, we achieved a key milestone with the first production from our working interest in five wells in the Longanesi field, and the field reached sustained maximum production during the first half of 2025. The Company began recognizing revenue and related expenses, including depreciation and depletion, associated with Longanesi production in the second quarter of 2025.
On March 13, 2025, AleAnna
achieved a key milestone with the first production from its five wells in the Longanesi field.

On October 29, 2024,
we we
entered into a gas sale agreement (“GSA”) with Shell Energy Europe LimitedLimited, (“SEEL”),under wherebywhich SEEL became the exclusive
buyer of our share of the
natural gas produced from the Longanesi field net of (i) any consumption and/or losses incurred in the
transport, treatment and
compression of gas before delivery; (ii) any volume to be allocated for regulated royalties auctions, if
applicable; and (iii) any
other volume contractually allocated to other parties before August 31, 2022. Future sales under the
GSA are contingent upon the commencement of gas production.
We believe that our performance
and future success dependdepends on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including
competition from other carbon-based and non-carbon-based fuel producers, regulatory hurdles posed by the Italian government, and other
factors discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors.” We believe the factors described below are key to our success.
Continued Development of Conventional Natural Gas Projects
Achieving First Production at Longanesi
As previously discussed, we
and Padana achieved first production of the five wells in the Longanesi field in March 2025 through use of a temporary processing facility.
The permanent processing facility is expected to be constructed over the remainder of 2025 and early 2026 and commissioned mid 2026.
We believe our achieving first
production of the Longanesi field iswas a key milestone that will fuel our potential growth. We also believe that we have potentially viable
discoveries discoveries
in our Gradizza and Trava fieldsfields, thatwhich are expected to achieve first production in the future.
Commencing and Expanding Renewable Natural
Gas Operations
We are an early-stage companycompany,
and our historical results may not be indicative of our future results. Accordingly, the drivers of our future financial results, as
well well
as the components of such results, may not be comparable to our historical results of operations or our future results of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated approximately $25.0 million of total revenue, comprised of $22.4 million of revenue from our Conventional segment and $2.7 million of revenue from our Renewable segment.
During the year ended December
31, 2024, we generated approximately $1.4 million of2025, revenue from our Conventional segment was comprised of sales of our share of natural gas from the Longanesi field. During the
year ended December 31, 2025, results from the Longanesi field have outperformed expectations, with a stabilized total production rate
of approximately 25 to 30 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”), which was achieved ahead of the anticipated 3-month ramp up
timeline for this milestone. During the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from our Renewable segment was comprised of electricity
sales at two renewable natural gas assets acquired
in July 2024 (the “Casalino” and “Campopiano” plants).
The plant assets are fully permitted for production
of electricity through conversion of crop and animal waste bio feedstocks. The plant
assets are currently biomethane to electricity conversion
assets. It is our intention to begin upgrading the sites to refine biomethane
into renewable natural gas through upgrading units. Following
the upgrade process to transition the assets to biomethane to renewable
natural gas conversion, we expect to sell renewable natural gas
to customer(s) by trucking or piping the renewable natural gas to
the interstate pipeline system (SNAM).system. Until the plant assets are
upgraded, we will actively source bio feedstocks for the assets in order to
produce biomethane which will be processed through reciprocating
generators in order to generate electricity which is then sold onto
the grid through a metered interconnection. Casalino and Campopiano
derive revenues from the sale of such electricity to the local state-owned
electrical utility (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici SpA or “GSE”).
Energy generation revenue is recognized as the electricity
generated by the Casalino and Campopiano assets is delivered to GSE. Revenues
are based on actual output and “on-the-spot”
predetermined prices for small renewable energy producers.
In addition to sales of renewable
natural gas, we expect to generate a significant portion of our future revenue from the sale of conventional natural gas.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of biofeedstock purchased by the RNG Subsidiaries. This feedstock fuels the anaerobic digesters (“ADs”), which produce biomethane that is then converted to electricity and sold onto the grid. Cost of revenues from sales of electricity consists of feedstock costs, direct labor and overhead necessary to produce RNG and generate electricity. Cost of revenues from sales of natural gas consists of gas tariffs and royalties, as well as rent expense.
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses reflect ongoing costs related to the Longanesi field which commenced production in the second quarter of 2025. Such costs are passed down to us by the Longanesi field operator, Padana, and include accrued royalties payable to the Italian government, pipeline fees, repairs and maintenance, and other field-related costs.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation includes expense related to the Casalino and Campopiano renewable plant assets, which is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. It also includes depreciation of lease and well equipment at the Longanesi field, which is calculated using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved developed reserves.
Depletion reflects the systematic allocation of the capitalized costs of our natural gas properties over the estimated proved developed reserves on a units-of-production basis. These costs include acquisition, exploration, and development expenditures associated with the Longanesi field. Depletion expense fluctuates based on production volumes and changes in our reserve estimates.
Business Combination transaction expenses represent legal, consulting, advisory, accounting and other transaction fees and expenses related to the Business Combination, accounted for as a common control reverse recapitalization, that were expensed in connection with the Business Combination. A portion of the total costs incurred were recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, up to the $0.6 million of proceeds received from the Trust, with costs in excess of funds raised from the Business Combination required to be expensed under U.S. GAAP. Management separated these expenses on its audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 due to the significant and discrete nature of the expenses.
Interest and Other Income (Expenses)
Interest and other income (expenses) primarily includes interest earned on cash and cash equivalents.
Our income tax consequences have been reflected in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. After consideration of all positive and negative evidence, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets for all entities will not be realizable as of December 31, 2025. This conclusion was based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence, including the Longanesi field commencing production in 2025 and our recent history of losses. The negative evidence outweighed positive evidence. Consequently, we maintain $50.0 million of valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets with $43.6 million of the valuation allowance being recorded against Italian deferred tax assets and $6.4 million of the valuation allowance being recorded against U.S. deferred tax assets. We will continue to evaluate all available evidence in the future periods.
AleAnna’s income tax consequences
have been reflected in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Given AleAnna’s
history of losses, and because future production remains uncertain, a full valuation allowance was applied against deferred tax assets
as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and no income tax liabilities or expenses were recognized as of or for the years
ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
We are also subject to a Valued-Added
Tax (“VAT”) which is a broadly-based consumption tax that is assessed toon the value that is added to goods and services. The
VAT generally applies
to nearly allmost goods and services that are bought and sold within the EU. Italian law allows forIn certain cases, including cross-border sales to business customers and
sales of biogas within Italy, we are not required to collect VAT payments

we had VAT receivables of $6.6$9.6 million, and $4.4$6.8 million, respectively. Under Italian tax law, VAT receivables may be used to
offset other tax liabilities, including payroll taxes, income taxes, and other taxes payable to the Italian government.

2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $191.0$189.2 million and $146.4$191.0 million,
respectively. The majority of these accumulated losses stem from costs
associated with the Longanesi field drilling and development, including
asset impairments from previous years, as well as seismic
imaging, exploratory costs for other conventional natural gas prospects,
and general and administrative expenses. The accumulated deficits
also include historical deemed dividends to the redemption value of
AleAnna Energy’s previous Class 1 Preferred Units (exchanged
for Class A and Class C common stock in connection with the
Business Combination) based on the redemption features of those units and
the related accounting requirements. See “Note 10

financial statements for further details. We expect to continue to incur substantial
expenses related to our operations, exploration,
and development activities, including pre-commercialization efforts as we continue our
development of, and seek regulatory approval for,

Consolidated Results of Operations
ComparisonThe following table shows our consolidated
results of operations for the yearyears ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024:
During the year ended December 31,
31, 2024, all of2025, our revenue was earned primarily through sales of our share of natural gas production from the Longanesi field and, to a lesser
extent, from electricity generation and sales at the Casalino and Campopiano renewable natural gas
plants that were purchased in July 2024.plants. Cost of revenues from sales

Policies and Estimates
for further details of our revenue recognition accounting policies.
Total revenues increased by $23.6 million, or 1663%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 to $25.0 million compared to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by sustained maximum production at the five wells in the Longanesi field during the 2025 fiscal year. Cost of revenues increased by $6.2 million, or 494% to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by increased production costs from the Longanesi field.
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expense was $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the commencement of new leases related to the Longanesi field. We did not incur any lease operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2024.
General and administrative
expenses consist of salaries and benefits, outside professional services including legal, human resources, audit and accounting services,
and development stage expenses. We expect to continue to incur expenses to support operations as a public company, including expenses
related to existing and future compliance with rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq, insurance expenses, investor relations,
audit fees, professional services and general overhead and administrative costs.
General and administrative
expenses (exclusive of Business Combination
transaction expenses) increased by $0.6$3.4 million, or 11%,54% to $9.7 million for the year ended December
31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.2025, compared to $6.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in legal, audit and consulting fees.fees to support public
company operations as well as delivering improved control over our operations.
See “Expenses” above
for a description of the Business Combination transaction expenses. These expenses were specific to the Business Combination that closed
onin Decemberthe 13,prior 2024,year, with no similar expenses incurred in 2023.2025.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation and depletion increased by $2.8 million, or 2097% to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Longanesi field had not commenced production. The Casalino and Campopiano plants were acquired during 2024. Accordingly, period-over-period comparisons for these expense categories are not meaningful.
As of December 31, 20242025
and and
December 31, 2023,2024, the contingent consideration liability was recorded at $25.0$28.2 million and $26.5$25.0 million, respectively.
The estimate
of the contingent consideration liability was determined based on inputs including the following as of December 31, 2024
2025 and December 31, 20232024:
the intercontinental exchange futures prices for European natural gas, Euro to USD exchange rates of 1.04
1.18 and 1.11,1.04, respectively, and
management’s future expected annual Longanesi production. We are required to make formulaic deferred
consideration payments effectively
equating to 20% to 50% of revenue above certain European natural gas threshold prices. The calculation
and timing of such payments are
primarily driven by future expected Longanesi production, as modeled by DeGolyer, as well as forward European
natural gas prices. While
the timing and quantities of expected Longanesi production were unchanged from December 31, 20232024 to December
31, 2024,2025, and
we had fully accrued the total capped Euro amount of the liability, average annual European natural gas forward prices declined
slightly.
Interest and other income decreased by $0.7 million or 36% to $1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower interest earned during the 2025 period due to lower interest rates as compared to the 2024 period.
Interest and other income (expenses)
primarily includes interest earned on cash and cash equivalents. Interest and other income increased by $2.1 million during the year
ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to interest earned on larger average cash balances during the
2024 period compared to the 2023 period presented. The larger cash balances were a result of the previously mentioned capital contributions
in January and May of 2024. In 2023, the activity primarily related to lease operating expenses with minimal interest earned on lower
cash and cash equivalents balances.
The change in the fair value
of derivative liability related to the Class 1 Preferred Units was $0.2 millionzero during the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, compared
compared to $0.7$0.2 million during the same period in 2023.2024. The fair value gain recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 (representing
a decrease in the liability) was primarily due to a higher liquidation threshold which was driven by capital contributions made during
the first quarter of 2024 through the Class 1 Preferred Units. Part of the change was also driven by a lower estimated business value
as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 due to a decline in forward natural gas prices. The derivative liability was
reduced from $0.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to zero as of September 30, 2024 and was ultimately derecognized in conjunction
with the
Business Combination.Combination in the prior year.
Income Tax Expense
The increase in income tax expense in the current year is due to the Company generating pre-tax income, compared to a pre-tax loss in the prior period. The shift to taxable earnings in the current year led to the recognition of income tax expense based on applicable statutory rates.
For the purposespurpose of
presenting presenting
consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of our Euro operations are translated to USD at the
exchange rate on the
reporting date. The income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates. Foreign currency
differences that arise on translation
for consolidated purposes are recognized as a currency translation adjustment in other
comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss.income (loss).
The currency translation adjustment
decreased increased by $1.8$5.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 20242025 compared to the same period in 2023.2024. This decreaseincrease was dueprimarily to
thedriven by fluctuation of the exchange rates
between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar as well as the level of our Euro-denominated activities. The spot rate strengthened from December
31, 2024 to December 31, 2025, and the average exchange rate was higher during 2025, resulting in a larger positive currency translation
adjustment relative to the prior period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to amounts presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of our operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP and provides greater comparability across time periods. These measures should not be considered a substitute to GAAP basis measures, nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. In compliance with GAAP, our non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest and other expenses, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. The purpose of presenting EBITDA is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust non-GAAP EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and acquisition costs such as transaction expenses. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock compensation expense and transaction expenses. The purpose of presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to adjust for items that we do not believe represent the operations of the core business such as transactions expenses, share based compensation, and other non-recurring costs.

AleAnna
isWe are a natural gas resource
developer focused on delivering critical natural gas supplies to Europe through both onshore conventional natural
gas exploration and
renewable natural gas development in Italy. We have several conventional natural gas discoveries including the Longanesi
field, located
in the Po Valley in Northern Italy, which is one of Italy’s largest modern gas discoveries. We retain a 33.5% working
interest in
the Longanesi field with our working interest partner, and operator, Padana. We acquired our working interest in the Longanesi
field through
a 2016 transaction with Enel.Enel Spa. We also retain wholly owned concessions, permits, and pending applications on other exploration and
and development prospects across Italy which are supported by proprietary modern 3D seismic imaging.
Our
recent drilling and exploration activities involve the drilling and testing of three Longanesi development wells (during 2022 and 2023)
as well as the re-completion of two original discovery wells. We had no drilling activity during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30,
2026 or 2025. We had no other exploratory or development drilling during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 or 2025. Our
Longanesi, Longanesi,
Trava and Gradizza wells were classified by DeGolyer and MacNaughton as proved undeveloped
reserves as such wells had not yet started
production as of December 31, 2025 and require future investments to install production facilities
prior to being fully completed and
producible. However, as noted in the section titled “Recent Developments” section below, we achieved
first production from the Longanesi
field in 2025.
On
December 13, 2024, we consummated
the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, dated June 4, 2024,
by and among Swiftmerge, HoldCo, Swiftmerge
Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo,
and AleAnna Energy. Pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement, on December 13, 2024, SPACSwiftmerge migrated to and domesticated as a Delaware
corporation in accordance with Section
388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the Companies Act (As Revised) of
the Cayman Islands and changed its name
to AleAnna, Inc. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred
to herein as the “Business Combination.”
The
Business Combination was
accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to AleAnna Energy which is akin to a reverse recapitalization.
This conclusion
was based on the fact that Nautilus Resources LLC (“Nautilus”) had a controlling financial interest in AleAnna
Energy prior
to the Business Combination and has a controlling financial interest in AleAnna, which includes AleAnna Energy as a wholly
owned subsidiary.
The net assets of SPACSwiftmerge are stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized
in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”). The
The Business Combination with respect to AleAnna Energy was not treated as a change in control primarily due to Nautilus receiving the controlling
controlling voting stake in AleAnna and the ability of Nautilus to nominate the full board of directors and management of AleAnna.
Under
a reverse recapitalization, SPAC
Swiftmerge is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for
accounting purposes, the
Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of AleAnna Energy issuing stock for the net assets of SPAC,
Swiftmerge, accompanied by a recapitalization.
Gradizza
Concession – Regional Intesa Approval
During
the third quarter of
2025, AleAnnawe reached an agreement with the Emilia Romagna Region (the “Intesa”) in support of itsour pending
application for a production
concession related to the Gradizza field. The second application was approved in January 2026. These approvals
represent a significant
milestone required prior to first production.
We hold a 100% working interest in the Gradizza field and will serve as operator.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we commenced construction activities at the Gradizza field development project. We believe this represents a significant milestone in the advancement of our Italian conventional natural gas portfolio. Gradizza is expected to become our first wholly owned and operated production asset and reflects our strategy of increasing exposure to operated assets with long-term production potential. The commencement of construction follows the completion of key permitting and development activities, marking the transition of the project from the planning and authorization phase into execution. We believe the advancement of the Gradizza field further strengthens our portfolio of producing and development-stage assets and supports our objective of creating long-term value through the development of strategically positioned domestic natural gas resources.
AleAnna
holds a 100% working interest in the Gradizza field and will serve as operator. If and when a production concession is granted, Gradizza
is expected to become the Company’s first operated producing asset. According to the Company’s reserve report as of December
31, 2025, Gradizza contains 703 MMcf of proved reserves.
First
Production at Longanesi
On
March 13, 2025, AleAnnawe achieved
a key milestone with the first production from itsour working interest in five wells in the Longanesi field,
andfield. theThe Longanesi field reached
sustained maximum production during the second quarter of 2025. The CompanyWe began recognizing revenue and related
expenses, including depreciation
and depletion, associated with Longanesi production in the second quarter of 2025.
In
connection with the Longanesi
start-up in May 2025, AleAnnawe issued a $3.1 million bank guarantee to secure its contingent consideration
obligation to Enel. The guarantee
required $1.2 million in cash collateral, which was classified as restricted cash as of MarchJune 31,
30, 2026. The collateral may be used
to satisfy the contingent consideration liability as payments become due.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 construction activities continued on the permanent production facility for the Longanesi concession, which is being developed together with our joint venture partner and operator, Società Padana Energia S.r.l. The transition from the existing temporary production facilities to permanent production infrastructure represents an important milestone in the maturation of the concession and is expected to support our long-term development. Upon completion, the permanent facility is expected to improve production operations and provide a stronger foundation for the continued development of one of the Company’s core assets.
We
believe our achieving first production of the Longanesi field was a key milestone that will fuel our potential growth. We also have potentially
viable discoveries in our Gradizza and Trava fields that are expected to achieve first production in the future.
During
the three
and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we generated approximately $9.3$10.2 million and $19.6 million of total
revenue, comprised
of $8.9$9.5 million and $18.4 million of revenue from our Conventional segment and $0.4$0.7 million and $1.2 million of revenue from our Renewable
segment.
During
the three and six months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, revenue from our Conventional segment was comprised of sales of our share
of natural gas
from the Longanesi field. During the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, revenue
from our Renewable segment
was comprised of electricity sales at two renewable natural gas assets
acquired in July 2024
(the “Casalino” and “Campopiano” plants). The plant assets are fully permitted for
production of electricity through
conversion of crop and animal waste bio feedstocks. The plant assets are currently biomethane to electricity
conversion assets. It is
our intention to begin upgrading the sites to refine biomethane into renewable natural gas through upgrading
units. Following the upgrade
process to transition the assets to biomethane to renewable natural gas conversion, we expect to sell renewable
natural gas to customer(s) by
trucking or piping the renewable natural gas to the interstate pipeline system (SNAM). Until the plant
assets are upgraded, we will actively
source bio feedstocks for the assets in order to produce biomethane which will be processed through
reciprocating generators in order
to generate electricity which is then sold onto the grid through a metered interconnection. Casalino
and Campopiano derive revenues from
the sale of such electricity to the local state-owned electrical utility (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici
SpA or “GSE”). Energy
generation revenue is recognized as the electricity generated by the Casalino and Campopiano assets
is delivered to GSE. Revenues
are based on actual output and “on-the-spot” predetermined prices for small renewable
energy producers.
G&A
expenses consist of compensation costs for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, and other administrative functions.functions, including
share-based compensation expenses. G&A expenses
also include legal fees, professional fees paid for accounting, auditing and consulting
services, and insurance costs. As a newly public
company, we expect that we will incur higher G&A expenses for public company costs
such as compliance with the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Our income tax consequences have been reflected in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.
AleAnna’s
income tax consequences have been reflected in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes.
Despite the start of Longanesi production, given AleAnna’s history of losses, and because future production remains uncertain,
a full valuation allowance was applied against deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025.
We
are also subject to a Valued-Added
Tax (“VAT”), a broadly-based consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and
services. VAT generally
applies to most goods and services bought and sold within the EU. In certain cases, including cross-border
sales to business customers
and sales of biogas within Italy, we are not required to collect VAT on revenues. To date, we have incurred
higher VAT on purchases (input
VAT) than we have collected on sales (output VAT), resulting in a net VAT refund receivable. As of MarchJune 31,
30, 2026 and December 31,
2025, we had VAT receivables of $10.4$8.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Under Italian tax
law, VAT receivables may be used
to offset other tax liabilities, including payroll taxes, income taxes, and other taxes payable to the
Italian government.
Our
net income attributable to common stockholders was $2.1$2.4 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31, 30,
2026, as compared to net
loss income attributable to common stockholderstockholders of $2.0$0.3 million and net loss of $1.7 million for the same period periods
in 2025. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31,
2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $187.2$184.8 million and $189.2 million,
respectively. The majority of these accumulated losses
stem from costs associated with the Longanesi field drilling and development, including
asset impairments from previous years, as
well as seismic imaging, exploratory costs for other conventional natural gas prospects,
and general and administrative expenses. The
accumulated deficits also include historical deemed dividends to the redemption value of
AleAnna Energy’s previous Class 1
Preferred Units (exchanged for Class A and Class C common stock in connection with the
Business Combination) based on the redemption
features of those units and the related accounting requirements. We expect to continue
to incur substantial expenses related to
our operations, exploration, and development activities, including pre-commercialization efforts
as we continue our development of, and
seek regulatory approval for, our discoveries and exploration prospects.

Comparison
of the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:
During
the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our revenue was earned primarily through sales of our share of natural gas production
from from
the Longanesi field and, to a lesser extent, from electricity generation and sales at the Casalino and Campopiano renewable natural
gas gas
plants. Cost of revenues from sales of electricity consists of feedstock costs, direct labor and overhead necessary to produce Renewable
Natural Gas (“RNG”) and generate electricity. Cost of revenues from sales of natural gas consists of gas tariffs and royalties,
as well as rent expense.
Total
revenues increased by $8.7$6.2 million and $14.9 million, or 1350%,153% and 318%, for the
three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 to
$10.2 $9.3million and $19.6 million compared to $0.7$4.0 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025,2025. The increase
was primarily
driven byattributable sustainedto a full period of production atin the current periods from the five wells inat the Longanesi field, which beganachieved
first production in 2025. Cost of revenues increased by
$0.7 million, or 85% to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily driven by increased production costs from the Longanesi field.2025.
Cost of revenues increased by $1.2 and $1.9 million, or 387% and 165% to $1.5 and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, driven by increased production costs from the Longanesi field.
Lease operating expense was $1.8 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Due to the Longanesi field achieving first production in March 2025, the 2025 periods reflect lease operating costs for only a partial period, whereas the 2026 periods reflect a full quarter and six months of costs associated with sustained production.
Lease
operating expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to the lease of the temporary facility used in
the Longanesi field. We did not incur any lease operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
General
and administrative
expenses consist of salaries and benefits, outside professional services including legal, human resources, audit and
accounting services,
and development stage expenses.expenses, as well as costs associated with the implementation and maintenance of financial reporting and enterprise
systems. We expect to continue to incur expenses to support operations as a public company,
including expenses related to existing and
future compliance with rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq, insurance expenses,
investor relations, audit fees, professional
services and general overhead and administrative costs.
General
and administrative

by $2.2$3.3 million and $5.5 million for the three
and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to the same periodperiods in 2025.
The decrease was primarily driven by fluctuations of the
exchange rates between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar as well as the level
of our Euro-denominated activities. The spot rate weakened
from December 31, 2025 to MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and the average exchange rates
were higher during the 2026 period,periods, resulting in negative
currency translation adjustments relative to the 2025 period.periods.
EBITDA
is a supplemental non-GAAP
financial measure defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest and other income, income taxes, depreciation,
depletion,depreciation and amortization.depletion. Our definition
of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust non-GAAP EBITDA for stock-based
compensation expense and the remeasurement
of asset retirement obligation,obligations, and other one-off activity, when applicable. The purpose of
presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to adjust for
items that we do not believe represent the operations of the core business such as transactions
expenses, share-based compensation, and
other non-recurring costs.
We have two operating segments, each of which also qualifies as a reportable segment, based on the manner in which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information to assess performance and allocate resources. The Conventional segment consists of the natural gas exploration and production activities conducted by AleAnna Italia. The primary product of this segment is conventional natural gas produced from onshore exploration and development in Italy. The Renewable segment consists of the RNG and electricity production activities conducted by AleAnna Renewable and the RNG Subsidiaries. The segment’s primary output is electricity generated from RNG derived from animal and agricultural waste.
During
the second quarter of 2025, in connection with the commencement of production at the Longanesi field, the Company’s evaluation
of operating results between conventional and renewable operations became more relevant to the chief operating decision maker, resulting
in further disaggregation of the Company’s single reportable segment. As a result, as of March 31, 2026, we determined that
we have two operating segments, each of which also qualifies as a reportable segment, based on the manner in which the chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”) — the Company’s Chief Executive Officer—reviews financial information to assess
performance and allocate resources.
Reconciling
items include items not directly attributable to either reportable segment. These include corporate financing and investing activities,
as well as administrative functions that support the Company’s overall operations. These items are presented in the segment reconciliation
but does not constitute a reportable segment.
The
CODM evaluates segment performance primarily using segment operating income (loss), which is consistent with the presentation in the
Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The CODM monitors revenues and operating expenses by segment for purposes of strategic
decision-making and resource allocation, including the evaluation of the timing and amount of future investment in, or development of,
the conventional and renewable reportable segments. The expense categories reviewed by the CODM are consistent with those presented in
the consolidated statements of operations and in the segment operating results presented below.
All
of the Company’s revenue is generated with external customers and located in Italy. All of the Company’s assets, other than
corporate assets primarily comprised of cash located in the U.S., are located in Italy.
The
three months ended March 31, 2026 reflect the revenue and expense categories noted above in the consolidated Results of Operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had minimal revenues, RNG assets, and operating expenses outside of corporate
general and administrative expenses. The vast majority of natural gas development activities were capitalized prior to the second quarter
of 2025.
Conventional segment revenue increased $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in 2025, driven by production from the Longanesi field, which began commercial operation in the second quarter of 2025. The prior-year periods reflect minimal revenue, as substantially all natural gas development costs were capitalized rather than expensed before Longanesi began production.
Renewable segment revenue was relatively consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2026 but declined $193k, or 14%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year. The Renewable segment operating loss narrowed slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior year, reflecting lower segment operating expenses that more than offset the decrease in revenue.
We
have begun generating revenue
from our operations. We had an accumulated deficit of $187.2$184.8 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We
had $31.1$32.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and generated cash flows from operations of
$2.9$7.1 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Management believes that existing cash on hand, together with expected cash
cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating expenses and support continued growth for at least the
the next 12 months.
We are constructing a permanent processing facility at our Longanesi site, which we expect to complete during the remainder of 2026 and into early 2027. We expect to fund these capital requirements, together with our other capital needs, through a combination of cash on hand, cash flows from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under financing arrangements.

based on a formulaic calculation which is predominantly dependent on sales volumes and spot natural gas prices during the
first 12 years
of production (the “Earn-Out Period”). There will be no deferred consideration due if Longanesi is not
developed and no deferred
consideration due if average annual gas prices are less than €3.65/Mcf over the Earn-Out Period. Upon
first production, we were also
required to issue a bank guarantee of €3 million secured by cash collateral of €1 million related
to the contingent consideration
liability which was classified as restricted cash as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The cash collateral may
be used to satisfy the contingent
consideration liability as payments become due.
We
recognized a liability for the contingent consideration in accounting for the asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies
(“contingent consideration liability”). As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total contingent
consideration consideration
liability was recorded at $27.6$27.4 million and $28.2 million, respectively, with $11.3$11.8 million and $11.6 million being classified
as a short-term
and $16.3$15.5 million and $16.7 million being classified as a long-term liability for
the same respective periods.
