According to the Complaint, Enviva develops, constructs, acquires, and operates fully contracted wood pellet production plants.  These plants take wood fiber and aggregate and process it into dry, densified, uniform pellets that can be effectively stored and transported around the world.  The Company, describing itself as a “growth-oriented company,” uses its wood pellets to displace coal and other fossil fuels to generate power and heat as part of its efforts to accelerate the transition away from conventional energy sources.

Plaintiff alleges that Defendants represented that Enviva was on track to achieve EBITDA of $305-$335 million for fiscal 2023 and a yearly dividend payout of $3.62 per share, and that Enviva’s liquidity going into 2023 was “strong”.

On May 3, 2023, Defendants issued a press release before the market opened, dramatically lowering their FY 2023 guidance downward and suspended Enviva’s dividend payments going forward.  Defendants now projected that Enviva’s 2023 EBITDA would be substantially lower, in the range of $200-250 million, the Company’s net loss would be substantially higher, increasing to a range of $136-$186 million, and its $0.905 per share quarterly dividend was eliminated.

On this news, Enviva’s stock price declined $14.34 per share, or approximately 67.2%, to close at $21.35 per share on May 4, 2023.
