[{"type":"text","content":" NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nClean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) (“Clean Energy” or the “Company”) today announced its operating results for the first quarter of 2021.\n\nAndrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I’m very pleased with our first quarter results given the lingering impacts of COVID 19, and expect our performance to improve as the economy and commerce continues to gradually open up. Our strategy to make Clean Energy synonymous with RNG took a big leap forward with the announcement of our fuel agreement with Amazon to supply them with RNG that could represent hundreds of millions of gallons of the ultra-clean fuel. Furthermore, we continue to make great progress on expanding our supply of RNG by formalizing joint ventures with two progressive energy companies, Total and bp, to develop additional RNG at agricultural facilities.”\n\nThe Company delivered 92.4 million gallons in the first quarter of 2021, a 7% decrease from 99.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was principally from the continuing effects of COVID-19, primarily affecting the airports and public transit customer markets. RNG gallons delivered increased 3% in the first quarter of 2021 from the first quarter of 2020, despite lower fuel volumes within the airports and public transit markets.\n\nThe Company’s revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $77.1 million, a decrease of 10.3% compared to $86.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 included an unrealized loss of $2.0 million on commodity swap and customer fueling contracts relating to the Company’s Zero Now truck financing program, compared to an unrealized gain of $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding effects of the commodity swap and customer fueling contracts unrealized gains and losses, revenue for the first quarter of 2021 decreased by 1.5% to $79.2 million compared to $80.4 million for the first quarter of 2020. This was principally due to lower volumes sold. These lower volumes were partially offset by higher effective fuel prices resulting from higher commodity prices and higher prices for Renewable Identification Numbers we sold. Station construction revenue was $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2020.\...
