Management Commentary

“The third quarter was a transformative validation for Sky Quarry with our successful listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the closing of a $6.7 million public offering to fund our strategy to revolutionize the waste asphalt shingle recycling industry,” said David Sealock, Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry. “Being listed on a national exchange increases corporate visibility, improves liquidity, and raises awareness of Sky Quarry in the financial markets. The quarter was marked by a decrease in revenue due to a combination of reduction in WTI pricing and refurbishment of the Foreland refinery. WTI pricing fell from $87 per barrel on April 5, 2024, to $67 per barrel on September 10, 2024, which corresponded with reduced pricing in the end products.

“The refurbishment at our Foreland refinery included an overhaul of the primary and secondary boilers, and completion of 24 work packages. This significant and extensive project, conducted once every decade, not only aims to enhance air quality and water recycling but also establishes the foundation for increased operational efficiency and the potential to raise production levels moving forward. Our fully integrated operation spans from extraction to refining. This vertical integration enhances efficiency and control over the entire production process. As well, our adaptable infrastructure enables us to rapidly scale operations, fortify feedstock supply chains, explore diverse revenue avenues, including regional sales, ensuring sustained growth and market leadership.

“During the quarter we partnered with Atlas Roofing Corporation, an innovative, customer-oriented manufacturer of residential and commercial building materials. Under the partnership, we will collaborate with Atlas to explore the use of Sky Quarry’s closed loop recycling process and proprietary shingle extraction technology to recover both material and oil from Atlas’ waste shingles. As a leader in the building products industry, Atlas is an ideal partner to demonstrate our groundbreaking application capable of separating waste shingles into clean oil and other valuable materials.

“Operationally, in tandem with our Nasdaq listing, we strengthened our finance leadership with the appointment of Darryl Delwo as Chief Financial Officer. Darryl is a veteran financial executive and will lead us in our next phase of company growth as a listed public company.

“Looking ahead, we expect strong growth as our refinery asset improvements increase production, and our direct consumer sales and marketing efforts continue to perform. Our refinery generated over $50 million in revenue in 2023. Our Eagle Springs refinery is expected to be refining blended sustainable oil in 2025, capturing the premium value that sustainable refined products will demand. With the heavy oil produced at PR Spring set to be refined at the Eagle Springs refinery, our broadened capabilities, and fortified position in the oil and energy industries, we anticipate even greater production levels and a return to increased revenue and cash flow in the coming quarters,” concluded Sealock.

Revenues were $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14.4 million for the comparable period in 2023, representing a decrease of 66%.
