Type: Current Cases

Case Number: 8:23-cv-02474-DLB

Class Period: November 3, 2022 - May 3, 2023

Class Period End Date: 05/03/2023

Defendant(s): Enviva Inc. (“Enviva”)

Stock Symbol: NYSE: EVA

Court: United States District Court for the District of Maryland

Enviva Inc. (“Enviva” or the “Company”) common stock (NYSE: EVA) is the world’s largest producer of industrial wood pellets and owns and operates ten plants with a combined production capacity of approximately 6.2 million metric tons per year. Enviva’s website represents that Enviva fights climate change, and promotes sustainability and protecting the environment. For example, Enviva says “We only source from landowners who commit to return their land to forest after harvest, and we provide a key market for their low-value wood.” And “It is critical that our wood is sourced responsibly. Enviva’s Track & Trace® program shares our publicly available sourcing data.”
 
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented to investors facts concerning Enviva’s operational improvements and the stability of its dividend.
 
The truth was revealed on May 3, 2023, when, after the market closed, Enviva issued a press release announcing results for the first quarter of 2023 that came in below the Street’s revenue and EPS expectations.  The complaint alleges that in speaking the truth Enviva acknowledged that “specific” previously undisclosed “issues” impacting Enviva’s plans to improve productivity and reduce costs caused Enviva’s operating results to fall behind expectations. As a result, Enviva eliminated its $0.905 per share quarterly dividend to preserve liquidity and dramatically lowered its 2023 net loss and adjusted EBITDA guidance.
 
In response to this news, on May 4, 2023, the price of Enviva’s common stock fell $14.34 per share to $7.01 or a 67.2% drop on exceptionally heavy volume of 15.6 million shares, more than 28 times the average daily trading volume of Enviva’s common stock.
