Verbio guides higher FY27 EBITDA as biofuel volumes and quota income rise

German biofuel firm Verbio SE has raised its outlook for fiscal year 2027 EBITDA, projecting a range of €210 million to €250 million. The company attributes this upward revision to higher production volumes in North America and a more favorable position in the greenhouse gas quota market. Verbio delivered a net profit of €63.9 million in fiscal year 2026, reversing a loss of €137.9 million the previous year, as the natural recovery of the GHG quota market bolstered its Bioethanol/Biomethane segment.

Revenue expanded by 18.5% to €1.87 billion, with EBITDA climbing to €193.9 million from a modest €14.2 million. Key drivers of the EBITDA rise included a €19.1 million impairment loss reversal and increased contributions from forward contracts. Operating cash flow surged to €164.6 million, while investment outflows decreased to €86.6 million.

Net financial debt fell by 44.2% to €91.5 million, and the equity ratio improved to 59.7%. Verbio anticipates further debt reduction in fiscal 2027, driven by lower capital expenditure.
