## Overview

Verde Resources, Inc. is a U.S.-based road construction and building materials company organized around proprietary biochar-based asphalt products and related licensing.

## Products & services

• BioAsphalt™ biochar-enhanced road material
• Verde V24 cold mix asphalt emulsifying agent
• Licensing of proprietary road technology
• Carbon removal credits from asphalt production
• Biochar-based designer blend inputs
• Consulting and distribution in selected markets

- **BioAsphalt™ materials** (40%) — Biochar-integrated asphalt and related road surface materials.
- **Verde V24 licensing** (35%) — Licensed emulsifying agent used to formulate cold mix biochar asphalt.
- **Carbon removal credits** (15%) — Credits generated from qualifying asphalt production and application.
- **Biochar inputs and blends** (5%) — Designer blend biochar and related proprietary input materials.
- **Consulting and distribution** (5%) — Consultation and distribution services in selected international markets.

- Licensing of proprietary road technology
- Carbon removal credits from asphalt production
- Biochar-based designer blend inputs
- Consulting and distribution in selected markets

## Customers

The company sells into road construction, asphalt, and infrastructure markets, where customers need materials that can be manufactured at scale and deployed through existing paving and mixing networks. Its licensing model also makes commercial partners such as asphalt producers and distributors important customers because they manufacture and market the end products. Governmental entities and infrastructure contractors are relevant end users because they specify and purchase road materials for public works and transportation projects.

- **Asphalt producers and distributors** (primary) — Buy Verde V24 and related formulations to manufacture and sell biochar asphalt products.
- **Road construction contractors** (primary) — Purchase road materials for paving, resurfacing, and cold mix applications.
- **Government and municipal agencies** (secondary) — Use the company’s materials in public infrastructure and roadway projects.
- **Infrastructure and materials partners** (primary) — License or adopt the technology to scale production across their own networks.
- **Carbon credit buyers** (emerging) — Buy carbon removal credits generated by qualifying product use and production.

- Asphalt producers that manufacture licensed biochar asphalt products
- Road construction contractors buying materials for paving projects
- Infrastructure owners and operators seeking lower-emission materials
- Government and municipal buyers for public road programs
- Commercial partners like Ergon that distribute at scale

## Geography

Verde Resources is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri and operates primarily through U.S. subsidiaries. Its commercialization footprint is centered on North America, with the Ergon license covering the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while management also describes a longer-term plan to license the platform in other Paris Agreement-aligned markets.

- **United States** (70%) — Initial and strategic commercialization market
- **Canada** (15%) — Covered by Ergon license and North American distribution
- **Mexico** (15%) — Covered by Ergon license and North American distribution

- Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri
- Primary commercialization focus is the United States
- Ergon license covers the United States, Canada, and Mexico
- North American asphalt mixing plants are the main distribution nodes
- Longer-term expansion targets Paris Agreement-aligned markets

## Strategy

The company’s strategy is to commercialize its proprietary road technologies through licensing and partner distribution rather than building a capital-intensive manufacturing footprint. It is using third-party validation, exclusive licensing, and carbon monetization to make its products easier to adopt and to create recurring revenue streams around the same core formulations.

- **Commercialize through Ergon in North America** (short-term) — Gives the company immediate access to an established asphalt sales network.
- **Build recurring revenue from licensing and royalties** (medium-term) — Supports an asset-light model and reduces dependence on direct production.
- **Monetize carbon removal credits** (medium-term) — Adds an additional revenue stream tied to product performance and certification.
- **Expand the platform globally** (long-term) — Broadens the addressable market beyond North America and diversifies customer exposure.

- Scale through exclusive licensing rather than owned manufacturing
- Use Ergon’s distribution network to reach asphalt plants
- Monetize carbon removal credits alongside product sales
- Expand from North America into Paris-aligned global markets
- Leverage third-party validation to support adoption

## Risks

The business is early-stage and depends heavily on whether its licensing model gains traction with a small number of commercial partners. It also depends on biochar supply, asphalt input pricing, and the ability to convert technical validation into repeat commercial adoption across road construction markets.

- **Customer concentration** [high] — A large share of revenue is expected to come from one licensee, Ergon.
- **No minimum purchase obligation** [high] — Ergon is not required to buy minimum volumes, so revenue visibility is limited.
- **Biochar supply disruption** [high] — The products depend on timely access to qualified biochar suppliers.
- **Asphalt commodity volatility** [medium] — Input price swings can change product economics and adoption decisions.
- **Unproven commercialization model** [high] — The current business model has limited history and is still being refined.

- Single-customer concentration with Ergon as the main licensee
- No minimum purchase commitment under the Ergon license
- Biochar supply dependence and possible supplier disruption
- Asphalt input price volatility can affect economics
- Early-stage business model with limited operating history

## Accounting

The most important accounting issues are revenue recognition for licenses, product sales, and carbon credits, plus the timing of when partner activity becomes reportable revenue. Investors should also watch estimates around property, plant and equipment lives, impairment, and any valuation judgments tied to carbon credit generation or other non-routine assets.

- **Revenue recognition for licensing and product sales** — Verde V24 license fees, product sales, and related fees
- **Carbon removal credit accounting** — Non-core revenue and timing volatility
- **Depreciation and useful lives** — Reported operating expense and asset carrying values
- **Impairment of long-lived assets** — Balance sheet values and earnings

- License and product revenue timing may depend on contract terms
- Carbon credit recognition depends on certification and sale timing
- Property and equipment depreciation uses judgmental useful lives
- Impairment risk exists for specialized assets and intangibles
- Foreign operations and subsidiaries may add consolidation complexity
