WOODS CROSS, Utah, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYQ) ("Sky Quarry" or "the Company"), an integrated energy solutions company committed to revolutionizing the waste asphalt shingle recycling industry, has reported its financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Key Financial and Operational Highlights

December 31, 2024.
-- Announced the signing of pivotal LOI with RB Residential Roofing, marking
the start of a collaboration that targets integrating eco-friendly
solutions into roofing services and helping Sky Quarry scale operations
nationwide through the roofing company's multiple locations.
-- Announced appointment of respected finance leader Leo Womack to the
Company's Board of Directors. He will also serve on the Audit and
Nominating Committee and chair the Compensation Committee.
-- Announced the completion of its 2024 capital expenditure program for its
flagship hydrocarbon extraction site, PR Spring.
-- Announced a national rollout plan for modular extraction facilities to
expand the reach and scalability of the Company's proprietary technology.
-- Announced the appointment of energy industry veteran Todd Palin to the
Company's Board of Directors.
David Sealock, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Sky Quarry, reflected on a transformative year for the company:
"2024 was a significant year for our company. Sky Quarry achieved several key milestones in 2024, including our NASDAQ listing for our shareholders, continued and steady revenue at our Foreland Refinery, and a stepwise capital investment program to keep our PR Spring and Asphalt Shingle Recycling $(ASR)$ portfolios moving forward," he said. "We believe that we are positioned to grow production and increase revenues with our portfolio expansion projects. These portfolio expansion opportunities focus on capitalizing on market shifts, strategic partnerships, and resource optimization. The primary opportunities are in the expansion of refining capacity, partnerships for sustainable asphalt shingle recycling, and the potential for strategic growth to aggressively increase our revenue.
Looking ahead, we remain laser-focused on optimizing our asset base with the successful completion of our 2024 capital expenditure program at PR Spring and the recent refurbishment of our Foreland Refinery in anticipation of increased capacity in 2025. We are actively working towards expanding our national footprint through our recent LOI with RB Residential Roofing and advancing the national rollout of our Asphalt Shingle Recycling ("ASR") modular extraction facilities, beginning with the deployment of our first facility in the 2025 fiscal year. Together, we believe that these initiatives set the stage for meaningful revenue growth, broader market reach, and long-term value creation for our shareholders.
This quarter, we entered into a pivotal LOI with RB Residential Roofing with the goal of entering into an agreement to secure a steady supply of post-consumer shingles, ensuring a steady supply of feedstock for our recycling operations. We believe that a partnership with RB Residential Roofing will generate consistent tipping fee revenue and accelerate Sky Quarry's national expansion by leveraging RB's extensive network of locations. By transforming waste into recycled content for new products, we believe entering into an agreement with RB Residential Roofing will not only support our mission to build a circular economy but also position Sky Quarry at the forefront of sustainable innovation in the roofing industry, helping to drive broader industry adoption.
In the 2025 fiscal year, we anticipate completing the build-out of our first Asphalt Shingle Recycling ("ASR") Facility. Designed as a modular, scalable system, the facility will recover valuable components such as bitumen, granules, aggregate, limestone, and fiberglass. The first front-end module has already been fabricated, with two additional modules planned for deployment later in the year. We are currently evaluating two potential sites for the initial rollout, based on waste volume and proximity to industry partners. These facilities are expected to generate multiple revenue streams from tipping fees, recycled material sales, and byproduct recovery, contributing to meaningful top-line growth as deployment accelerates.
Operationally, we expect to begin refining blended sustainable oil in 2025, with plans to ramp up production at our Nevada-based Foreland Refinery, which has a processing capacity of up to 5,000 barrels per day. This comes at a critical time, as we anticipate a growing fuel supply crisis in the Western U.S., driven by California refinery shutdowns, tightening regulations, and potential import tariffs that threaten supply stability.
Foreland has served as a strategic energy asset in Nevada for over two decades, and we believe it is well-positioned to enhance regional fuel security. Once heavy oil sourced from our Utah-based PR Spring facility, produced from recycled asphalt shingles, is integrated at the Foreland refinery, we can not only expand our sustainable product offerings but also reinforce our presence in the energy sector. With broadened capabilities and strategic positioning, we anticipate stronger revenue and improved cash flow in the coming quarters.
In conclusion, we recently welcomed Leo Womack and Todd Palin to our Board of Directors. Mr. Womack brings significant strategic, business, and financial expertise, while Mr. Palin's operational experience will be instrumental as Sky Quarry ramps up production at our Nevada refinery. Both additions strengthen our leadership team as we enter our next phase of growth in 2025."
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled $23.3 million, a decrease of 54% compared to $50.7 million in 2023. This decline was primarily driven by a combination of lower WTI oil prices and the refurbishment of the Company's Foreland Refinery.
Gross profit for the year was a loss of $1.4 million, representing a gross margin of (6.0)%, compared to a gross profit of $2.3 million, or 4.6% of revenues, in the prior year.
Total operating expenses increased to $6.1 million in 2024, up from $3.7 million in 2023, reflecting an increase of $2.4 million year-over-year.
As a result, the Company reported a net loss of $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million in 2023.
