On June 23, 2020, Renewable Energy issued a press release announc[ing] that the Companys second quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between negative $12 million and negative $2 million, down sharply from the range of $20 million to $35 million that the Company had previously announced on April 30, 2020. Explaining its significantly revised outlook, Renewable Energy advised investors that [t]he guidance model used in connection with the previous estimate contained inadvertent calculation errors, which on their own would have resulted in a significant reduction in the Companys previous Adjusted EBITDA estimate.

On this news, Renewable Energys stock price fell $5.85 per share, or 20.47%, to close at $22.73 per share on June 24, 2020.
