Montauk Renewables (MNTK) shows a deeply negative liquidation posture consistent with MFFAIS's reported CLV of approximately -$171M. The asset side is dominated by PP&E gross of $598.4M against accumulated depreciation of $226.9M, yielding net book value of $371.5M. Applying a 50-70% liquidation haircut to PP&E produces recoverable value of $186-$260M. Intangibles of $19.3M (finite-lived fuel supply rights, interconnections) receive a 0% liquidation credit; goodwill of $60K is similarly zero. Cash of $25.9M (unrestricted) recovers at par. Receivables total approximately $10.4M gross; at 90-95% recovery that adds ~$9.4-$9.9M. Prepaid and other current assets of $3.9M are largely non-recoverable. Equity method investment in GreenWave JV ($3.8M book) is illiquid and assigned minimal value outside of a controlled sale. The $4M investment in restricted/other assets is of uncertain liquidity. Total gross asset recovery estimate: approximately $225-$300M against total liabilities of $204M at face value. The liability stack is materially altered this quarter: on March 9, 2026, MNTK replaced its prior credit facility ($44M term loan + $85M revolver = $129M) with a new $200M Senior Credit Facility from HASI, drawing $155M at close. This increased long-term debt from $56M (December 31, 2025 face value per MD&A) to $155M face ($149.5M net of deferred issuance costs) — a $99M increase in the face-value liability stack in a single quarter. The new facility carries a fixed rate of 10.25% and a 2031 maturity, with quarterly principal payments commencing after a 24-month interest-only period. Financial covenants commence June 30, 2026. Operating lease obligations ($8.3M undiscounted) and asset retirement obligations ($7.1M) remain on the liability stack at face. The net equity book value of $263.8M provides a cushion, but the liquidation lens erodes this materially through PP&E haircuts and intangible write-offs. The single largest change to recovery posture since the prior 10-K period is the $99M step-up in funded debt. Additionally, the filing discusses the GreenWave JV contributing $3.3M in equity method income and $4.2M in RIN distribution revenue in Q1 2026 with associated $4.2M cost in O&M — a near-breakeven pass-through that does not materially affect balance-sheet recovery but represents a new recurring flow. Development capex of $80-100M is guided for 2026, with $38.6M already incurred in Q1; the majority ($33.1M) relates to the Montauk Ag Renewables project in North Carolina. Accrued capex in AP of $19.6M represents a contingent liability under liquidation. The filing does not separately XBRL-tag the GreenWave JV structure, RIN forward commitments, or fuel supply agreement minimum royalty obligations in a way that quantifies off-balance-sheet commitments precisely beyond narrative disclosure.
