Forward Looking Statements

This Presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform

Act of 1995, including statements related to expected future financial results, possible legislative and regulatory

changes affecting the biomass-based diesel industry, expansion plans, capital upgrades and the potential financial

impacts thereof, growth in REG’s markets and growth in REG’s operations, product offerings and scope of business

arising from implementation of REG’s business strategies.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, are subject to change, and

actual results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include changes in

governmental programs and policies requiring or encouraging the use of biofuels; changes in the spread between

biomass-based diesel prices and feedstock costs; the future price and volatility of feedstocks; the future price and

volatility of petroleum and products derived from petroleum; availability of federal and state governmental tax credits

and incentives for biomass-based diesel production; risks associated with fire or explosion at our facilities; the effect of

excess capacity in the biomass-based diesel industry; unanticipated changes in the biomass-based diesel market;

competition in the markets in which we operate; technological advances or new methods of biomass-based diesel

production or the development of energy alternatives to biomass-based diesel; and other risks and uncertainties

described from time to time in REG's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, its quarterly

report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange

Commission. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Presentation and REG does not undertake

to update any forward-looking statements based on new developments or changes in our expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Presentation also presents Adjusted EBITDA, as a supplemental performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not in

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and accordingly a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

to net income/(loss) determined in accordance with GAAP is included in the Appendix at the end of this Presentation.

Notes:

1. $150+ MM of adjusted EBITDA assumes retroactive reinstatement of the Biodiesel Mixture Excise Tax Credit (BTC), as well as stable prices for energy, raw material, and biofuel related RINs and credits. There is no assurance that BTC will be retroactively reinstated.

Notes:

1. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure that REG defines as net income adjusted for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for other items, that REG

does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, including (Income) Loss from equity investments, impairments on assets/and of investments, other income, non-cash stock compensation, change in

fair value of Seneca Holdco liability, change in fair value of interest rate swaps and change in fair value of preferred stock conversion feature embedded derivatives and straight line lease expense.

2. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which reinstated a set of tax extender items including the reinstatement of the federal biodiesel blenders tax credit for 2013 and

retroactively reinstated the credit for 2012. The retroactive credit for 2012 resulted in a net benefit to us that was recognized in first quarter 2013, but because this credit relates to the operating performance and

results of 2012 it is excluded from 2013 Adjusted EBITDA and allocated to the 2012 periods based upon gallons sold.

3. Total balance may not foot due to rounding

4. Represent the impairment charge to write down the carrying value of certain assets, mostly attributed to the company’s Emporia facility, to remaining salvage value.
