PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On May 3, 2023, Enviva Inc. (“Enviva”) (NYSE: EVA), a producer of wood pellets, issued a press release in which it lowered its 2023 projected EBITDA from a range of $305-$335 million to $200-$250 million, increased its projected net loss from a range of $18-$48 million to $136-$186 million, and eliminated its quarterly dividend. These revelations occurred only one month after an Investor Day presentation during which the company had reiterated its 2023 guidance and highlighted its “stable and secure dividend.” On this news, Enviva’s stock price fell $14.34 per share, or 67%, to close at $7.01 per share on May 4, 2023.
A securities class action to recover investor losses has been filed on behalf of purchasers of Enviva shares between November 3, 2022 and May 3, 2023 (the “class period”). The lawsuit asserts that defendants – the company and four of its officers – made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose materially adverse facts about the company and its prospects. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that defendants failed to disclose the true financial condition of the company, including its EBITDA and net loss forecasts, liquidity position, operating costs, productivity and the company’s ability to continue to pay dividends.

Stein or Linda Border at Barrack, Rodos & Bacine, at the toll-free number 877-386-3304, or via email at investoralert@barrack.com.
