Key Takeaways

Net Loss and Earnings Per Share

  • Net loss in Q1 2024 was $1.1 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million, due to increased revenue and gross profit for our Products and Services segments, partially offset by increased operating expenses.
  • EPS was $(0.04)/share and $(0.06)/share in Q1 2024 and Q1 2023, respectively.

Loss from Operations

  • Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.0 million compared to a loss from operations of $1.4 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million,primarily due to increased revenue and gross profit for our Products and Services segments, partially offset by increased operating expenses.

Revenues

    • Product revenue was $1.5 million in Q1 2024 compared to $1.7 million in the same period in 2023, a decrease of 12.8%, due to decreased sales of chiller units.
    • Services revenue was $4.0 million in Q1 2024 compared to $3.1 million in the same period in 2023, an increase of 28.0%, primarily due to the addition of $0.8 million in revenue from the acquired Aegis maintenance contracts.
    • Energy Production revenue was $680 thousand in Q1 2024 compared to $534 thousand in the same period in 2023, an increase of 27.5% due to increased run hours.

Gross Profit

Gross margin increased to 41.6% in the first quarter compared to 38.9% for the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was driven by increased service contract revenues.

Operating Expenses

  • Operating expenses increased by 2.4% to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $3.5 million in the same period in 2023, due primarily to duplicate rent costs, during the transition to our new facility in Q1 2024.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release and any accompanying documents, contain "forward-looking statements" which may describe strategies, goals, outlooks or other non-historical matters, or projected revenues, income, returns or other financial measures, that may include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "should," "could," "likely," or "may" and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

In addition to those factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and on our Form 8-K, under "Risk Factors", among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past and projected future results are the following: fluctuations in demand for our products and services, competing technological developments, issues relating to research and development, the availability of incentives, rebates, and tax benefits relating to our products and services, changes in the regulatory environment relating to our products and services, integration of acquired business operations, and the ability to obtain financing on favorable terms to fund existing operations and anticipated growth.

In addition to GAAP financial measures, this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA which excludes certain expenses as described in the presentation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal measure of business operating performance and believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate our historical and prospective operating performance by eliminating items that vary from period to period without correlation to our core operating performance and highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") measure, this news release contains information about Adjusted EBITDA (net income (loss) attributable to Tecogen Inc adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain or loss on investment securities, goodwill impairment charges and other non-cash non-recurring charges including abandonment of certain intangible assets and extinguishment of debt), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management and provides additional insight into its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the application of GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
