Carbon Streaming interim CEO Christian Milau stated: "In the third quarter of 2024, Carbon Streaming continued its focus on its restructuring and evaluating strategic alternatives and is working towards improving its operating cash flow for 2025 subject to carbon market conditions. As we look towards 2025, we remain committed to generating increased cash flows from carbon credit sales, identifying further cost saving opportunities, and optimizing our portfolio to improve economics. Although the Company has realized over a million dollars in stream and royalty proceeds in the year to date, the evolving nature of the voluntary carbon market continues to present risks and uncertainty for the industry. And with respect to the Sustainable Community, Rimba Raya and Magdalena Bay Streams, the Company is focused on protecting our investments and preserving our rights.”

Portfolio Updates
Significant Updates – Q3 2024
Rimba Raya Stream: On April 26, 2024, the Company announced that it was informed that PT Rimba Raya Conservation (“PT Rimba”), the local concession holder for the Rimba Raya project, had its Forest Utilization Business License (the “Concession License”) revoked by the Indonesian Government’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry (the “MOEF”). PT Rimba challenged the MOEF’s revocation of the Concession License, and in July 2024, the State Administrative Court of Jakarta (the “Court of Jakarta”) reached a decision on PT Rimba’s claim and declared that the revocation by the MOEF of the Concession License is void. The MOEF appealed the decision of the Court of Jakarta and in September 2024, the State Administrative High Court of Jakarta (the “High Court of Jakarta”) upheld the Court of Jakarta’s decision declaring that the revocation by the MOEF of the Concession License is void. The MOEF submitted an appeal of the decision of the High Court of Jakarta and as such, the decision of the High Court of Jakarta upholding that the revocation by the MOEF of the Concession is void does not yet have permanent legal force. While the appeal process is underway, the interlocutory decision issued by the Court of Jakarta on May 16, 2024, requiring the MOEF to suspend the implementation of its decree in respect of the revocation of the Concession License, will remain in place.
In October 2024, InfiniteEARTH Limited and its Indonesian subsidiary PT InfiniteEARTH Nusantara, the project operators of the Rimba Raya project (collectively “InfiniteEARTH”) delivered a notice of intent to abandon the project (the “RR Notice of Abandonment”). Pursuant to the RR Notice of Abandonment, InfiniteEARTH claims that a Regulation entitled Regulation of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Number 7 Year of 2023 issued on June 14, 2023 by the Indonesian Government (“Regulation No. 7 2023”), prohibits the issuance and transfer of carbon rights from PT Rimba to InfiniteEARTH. InfiniteEARTH claims that as a result of Regulation No. 7 2023, it has been unable to economically develop or continue to operate the Rimba Raya project and that this is a force majeure event under the Rimba Raya Stream. The Company has notified InfiniteEARTH that it rejects the assertion that Regulation No. 7 2023 is an event of force majeure and has commenced an arbitration seeking, among other things, an order that the RR Notice of Abandonment is invalid or void.
In October 2024, the Company commenced an arbitration administered by the International Centre of Dispute Resolution against InfiniteEARTH in accordance with the Rimba Raya Stream; and against the shareholders of InfiniteEARTH Limited in accordance with the Strategic Alliance Agreement (the "SAA"). In October 2024, the Company issued a Notice of Action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice seeking declaratory relief against the principals of InfiniteEARTH Limited and their related entities, seeking to enforce its rights in relation to guarantees and non-competition agreements related to the Rimba Raya Stream and the SAA. The dispute between the Company and InfiniteEARTH arises out of acts and omissions that the Company alleges are improper and in breach of the Rimba Raya Stream, the SAA and related agreements. Delivering the Notice of Arbitration and issuing the Notice of Action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice are important steps in preserving the Company’s legal and contractual rights.
Sustainable Community Stream: In the third quarter of 2024, the Company exercised its contractual rights to terminate the Sustainable Community Stream as a result of, among other things, the failure of Will Solutions Inc. to meet its milestone related to the registration of its Ontario project and its failure to develop and implement the project in accordance with the project plan (including continued delays in project development activities and lower-than-expected project enrollments). As a result of the Sustainable Community Stream being terminated, the fair value of the Sustainable Community Stream was determined to be $nil as at September 30, 2024. The Company intends to strictly enforce its legal and contractual rights under the Sustainable Community Stream.
Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream: In the third quarter of 2024, Fundación MarVivo Mexico, A.C. and MarVivo Corporation (collectively, “MarVivo”) delivered a notice of intent to abandon the project (the “Notice of Abandonment”). Pursuant to the Notice of Abandonment, MarVivo claims that the failure to transfer the concession rights from the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources, Mexico’s environment ministry, to the jurisdiction of Mexico’s National Commission for Protected Natural Areas, constitutes an event of force majeure and that it is no longer economical to develop or continue to operate the project. The Company’s position is that the attempt to abandon the project constitutes a breach of the terms of the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream. The Company has notified MarVivo that it rejects the assertion that the failure to transfer the concession rights constitutes an event of force majeure and that if MarVivo abandons the project or takes steps to wind-down, this will amount to a breach of the terms of the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream. As a result of the Notice of Abandonment and the assertions of MarVivo, the Company has determined the fair value of the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream to be $nil as at September 30, 2024. The Company reserves all rights with respect to the agreements between the parties and intends to strictly enforce its legal and contractual rights under the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream.
Key portfolio milestones – Q3 2024
Community Carbon Stream: During the third quarter of 2024, Carbon Streaming made upfront deposit payments totaling $0.8 million to Community Carbon and UpEnergy Group (collectively, “Community Carbon”), as a milestone was reached pertaining to the delivery of carbon credits from the Tanzania cookstove project, representing the first-ever carbon credits authorized for corresponding adjustments by the Government of Tanzania under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization granted full approval to Gold Standard, Verra, and Climate Action Reserve for the First Phase (2024-26) of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, making their carbon credits eligible for use by airlines.
Sheep Creek Reforestation Stream: During the third quarter of 2024, Carbon Streaming made upfront deposit payments totaling $0.2 million to Mast Reforestation SPV I, LLC, as a milestone was reached at the Sheep Creek Reforestation project related to significant progress pertaining to planting and site preparation.
Strategy
Carbon Streaming is focused on becoming a market leader in the carbon credit financing sector despite the ongoing challenges of the carbon markets. The Company continues to focus on identifying opportunities for high-quality removals and avoidance carbon credits, and partnering with established project developers to create strong relationships with carbon credit buyers, including the procurement of long-term offtake agreements, to enhance its position in the voluntary carbon market.
During 2024, the Company has undergone changes to its board of directors (the “Board”) and management, including the termination of certain consulting contracts, which reduced ongoing cash expenditure and streamlined decision-making. In addition, amendments were made to several carbon credit streaming agreements to improve stream economics and protect against downside risk. The Company continues to focus on its previously announced evaluation of strategic alternatives with a focus on maximizing value for all shareholders. These alternatives could include acquisitions, divestments, corporate transactions, financings, other strategic partnership opportunities or continuing to operate as a public company. In addition, the Company is continuing its search for a permanent chief executive officer.
In executing its sales strategy, over the long term and on a company-wide basis, the Company continues to expect to retain on average 15% to 25% of cash flows (with stream-specific retention varying) generated from the sale of the carbon credits acquired from its carbon credit streaming agreements. Through an ongoing delivery payment under the terms of a stream agreement, a project partner is typically entitled to receive the balance of the net proceeds from the sale of carbon credits (i.e. on average 75% to 85%). Cash flows are subject to fluctuations based on the realized price from carbon credit sales and the specific terms of the stream agreements, and the Company continually reviews its portfolio to look for opportunities to maximize economics and reduce exposure to market volatility.
Outlook
Carbon Streaming continues to reposition itself for long-term success. In May 2024, as part of its ongoing corporate restructuring first initiated in 2023, the Company announced changes to its senior management and Board after constructive discussions with certain shareholders. The Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for the business and remains focused on cash flow optimization through the reduction of operating expenses and a reassessment of its existing streams and royalties. Building on the previous measures implemented by the Company to reduce ongoing operating expenses, further steps have been taken in recent months, including the elimination of cash-settled director’s fees to the Board and the termination of certain consulting contracts. As the Company’s broader strategy continues to evolve, these recent steps are expected to result in reductions to annualized ongoing operating expenses of over $1 million when compared to the prior year.
While the Company aims to increase cash flow generation through the sale of carbon credits from several streaming agreements over the next year, there remains ongoing uncertainty regarding the evolving nature of carbon markets, including potential registry delays, project-specific issues, and methodology-related risks, in addition to impacts the industry may face as a result of general economic, political and regulatory conditions. As such, the Company has amended several of its carbon credit streaming agreements with the intention of improving stream economics and protecting against downside risk. In 2024, the Company amended the terms of the Sheep Creek Reforestation Stream and the Community Carbon Stream. In addition, during 2024, the Company has recognized a decrease in the fair values of the Rimba Raya Stream, the Magdalena Bay Blue Carbon Stream and the Sustainable Community Stream to $nil as a result of the failure of the respective projects to meet their obligations under the stream agreements and ongoing legal disputes. Carbon Streaming continues to evaluate all legal avenues to protect its investments and will strictly enforce its legal and contractual rights.
Carbon Streaming also aims to continue growing and diversifying its portfolio with leading project developers and to be a partner of choice for buyers seeking to support carbon projects that generate high-quality carbon credits. The voluntary carbon market has the potential to mobilize finance to address the gaps in funding for climate projects and act as a complementary tool to other climate action activities but remains an evolving market with risks and uncertainties. While Carbon Streaming continues to evaluate various alternatives for the Company, the aim is to position the Company as an industry leader in the voluntary market.
For a comprehensive discussion of the risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could impact the Company’s strategy and outlook, including without limitation, changes in demand for carbon credits and Indonesian developments described herein, investors are urged to review the section of the Company’s most recently filed Annual Information Form entitled “Risk Factors” a copy of which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Performance Measures
Average realized price per purchased carbon credit sold Management uses the “average realized price per purchased carbon credit sold” performance measure to better understand the price realized in each reporting period for carbon credit sales. Average realized price per purchased carbon credit sold is calculated by dividing the Company’s revenue from sale of purchased carbon credits by the quantity of purchased carbon credits sold. Average realized price per purchased carbon credit sold does not incorporate proceeds from the sale of carbon credits delivered under the Company’s carbon credit streaming agreements, and only incorporates revenue from the sale of purchased carbon credits.

Cost per purchased carbon credit sold
Management uses the “cost per purchased carbon credit sold” performance measure to assess the Company’s profitability in relation to the average realized price per purchased carbon credit sold and believes that certain investors can use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance in comparison to other carbon credit streaming companies. Cost per purchased carbon credit sold is calculated by dividing the Company’s cost of purchased carbon credits sold, excluding inventory write-downs, by the quantity of purchased carbon credits sold. Cost per purchased carbon credit sold does not incorporate ongoing delivery payments from the sale of carbon credits delivered under the Company’s carbon credit streaming agreements, and only incorporates the cost of purchased carbon credits sold.

Non-IFRS Accounting Standards Measures
Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Loss Per Share
The term “adjusted net loss” in this news release is not a standardized financial measure under the IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies where similar terminology is used. These non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance, cash flows and financial position as prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards. Management believes that these non-IFRS Accounting Standards measures, together with performance measures and measures prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards, provide useful information to investors and shareholders in assessing the Company’s liquidity and overall performance.
Adjusted net loss is calculated as net and comprehensive loss and adjusted for the revaluation of carbon credit streaming and royalty agreements, the revaluation of warrant liabilities, the impairment loss on early deposit interest receivable, the revaluation of derivative liabilities, the revaluation of the convertible note, the impairment loss on investment in associate, the gain on dissolution of associate, and the corporate restructuring which the Company views as having a significant non-cash or non-continuing impact on the Company’s net and comprehensive loss calculation and per share amounts. Adjusted net loss is used by the Company to monitor its results from operations for the period.
The following table reconciles net and comprehensive (loss) income to adjusted net loss:
