- In May 2021, the Company initiated a strategic review to assess a range of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. There is no assurance that the review process will result in pursuing or completing any action or transaction, and no timetable has been set for completion of this process. The Company has been encouraged by continued progress and will provide an update as appropriate.
“The strong demand environment for our APT segment persisted through the end of the year and drove a 45% increase in segment revenue in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year,” said Greg Marken, CEO of ADES. “Continued high prices for alternative energy sources such as natural gas, coupled with the cold winter months, along with fully implementing the Cabot Supply Agreement, are supporting strong performance for the APT segment and delivering better gross margin leverage compared to 2020. With capacity utilization high, we continue to source inventory from third parties to meet rising customer demand and expect inventory tightness and general supply-chain constraints to remain in the near-term and to continue to weigh on our margin profile. We are working to offset margin pressures through methodical adjustments in pricing, as contracts become eligible for repricing, and we have been successful at better aligning new contract terms to current market conditions. Looking ahead to 2022, we expect volumes and our plant utilization to remain elevated, though we anticipate some gross margin compression due to elevated levels of third party purchases and rising input costs. More broadly, we remain focused on diversifying our end market mix and advancing our technologies alongside partners like Cascade Environmental for the soil and groundwater remediation market.”
Marken concluded, “We are also updating our forecast for the expected after-tax net RC cash flows and wind down of Tinuum. Net of collections during the fourth quarter, we now expect between $4.0 million and $5.0 million of cash flows from Tinuum to ADES during the first half of 2022. Lastly, we continue to undertake our previously announced strategic review and remain focused on fulfilling our customer commitments and running the business efficiently as this process progresses.”
Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2021 Results
Fourth quarter revenues and costs of revenues were $25.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively, compared with $19.7 million and $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year revenues and costs of revenues were $100.3 million and $65.6 million, respectively, compared with $67.4 million and $50.4 million in 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of higher sales of consumables.
Fourth quarter royalty earnings from Tinuum Group were $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million in the prior year. The decline in the fourth quarter was the result of fewer invested, royalty-bearing facilities compared to the prior year, as facilities were beginning to cease producing refined coal in the fourth quarter. Full year royalty earnings totaled $14.4 million compared to $13.4 million in 2020. The increase was primarily the result of a greater number of invested, royalty-bearing facilities for the majority of the year compared to the prior year. Royalty income is based upon a percentage of the per-ton, pre-tax margin, inclusive of impacts related to depreciation expense and other allocable expenses.
Fourth quarter other operating expenses were $8.1 million compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily the result of higher payroll and benefit costs, as well as higher legal and professional fees. Full year other operating expenses were $29.9 million compared to $57.9 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by an impairment charge of $26.1 million that was recognized during the second quarter of 2020 as well as a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Fourth quarter earnings from equity method investments were $6.8 million compared to $5.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year earnings from equity method investments were $68.7 million, compared to $31.0 million in 2020. The increase in earnings from equity method investments is first attributable to distributions recorded into earnings as a result of distributions from Tinuum Group being in excess of the carrying value of the investment, and, therefore, excess distributions are recognized as equity method earnings in the period in which the distributions occur. Tinuum Group also had an increased number of RC facilities for the majority of 2021 due to the three new RC facilities added during 2020.
Fourth quarter interest expense was $0.1 million, compared to $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year interest expense was $1.5 million, compared to $3.9 million in 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by the full repayment, during the second quarter of 2021, of amounts outstanding on the term loan used to fund the Carbon Solutions acquisition.
Fourth quarter income tax expense was $1.7 million, compared to an income tax expense of $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Full year tax expense was $15.7 million, compared to $6.5 million of income tax expense in 2020. The change in income tax expense was largely driven by increased sales and related higher margins, increased equity earnings and lower interest expense, which were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Fourth quarter net income was $5.8 million, compared to $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax income and a higher income tax expense in 2020. Full year net income was $60.4 million, compared to net loss of $20.3 million in 2020. The net loss in prior year was driven by an impairment charge of $26.1 million recognized during the second quarter of 2020.
Fourth quarter consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $9.1 million compared to $23.4 million in 2020. Full year consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $84.9 million compared to $55.1 million in 2020. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the full year was largely driven by higher consumables revenue and higher equity earnings compared to 2020. See note below regarding the use of the Non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we are providing non-GAAP measures of certain financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, RC Segment EBITDA, RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA, APT Segment EBITDA and APT Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We have included non-GAAP measures because management believes that they help to facilitate period to period comparisons of our operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and users of the financial statements by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of core operating results and business outlook. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating the performance of our business.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
We define Consolidated EBITDA as net income adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance: depreciation, amortization, depletion, accretion, amortization of upfront customer consideration that was recorded as a component of the Marshall Mine Acquisition (“Upfront Customer Consideration”), interest expense, net and income tax expense. We define Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as Consolidated EBITDA, reduced by the non-cash impacts of equity earnings from equity method investments, gain on change in estimate of asset retirement obligations, gain on extinguishment of debt and gain on customer settlement, and increased by cash distributions from equity method investments and impairment of long-lived assets. Because Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA omits certain non-cash items, we believe that the measure is less susceptible to variances that affect our operating performance.
We define APT Segment EBITDA (loss) as APT Segment operating income (loss) adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance: depreciation, amortization, depletion, accretion, amortization of Upfront Customer Consideration and interest expense, net. We define APT Segment Adjusted EBITDA (loss) as APT Segment EBITDA (loss) reduced by gain on extinguishment of debt, gain on change in estimate of asset retirement obligation, gain on customer settlement and increased by impairment of long-lived assets.
We define RC Segment EBITDA as RC Segment operating income adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance: depreciation, amortization, depletion, accretion and interest expense. We define RC Segment Adjusted EBITDA as RC Segment EBITDA reduced by the non-cash impact of equity earnings from equity method investments and gain on extinguishment of debt and increased by cash distributions from equity method investments.
When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, we believe these non-GAAP measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that explain our operating performance for our period to period comparisons and against our competitors’ performance. Generally, we believe these non-GAAP measures are less susceptible to variances that affect our operating performance results.
With the exception of extinguishment of debt, gain on change in estimate, asset retirement obligation, impairment on long-lived assets and gain on settlement, the adjustments to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and APT Segment Adjusted EBITDA in future periods are generally expected to be similar. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.
