Tecogen Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

[ad_1]

Increased Product Sales and Significantly Improved Cash Flow and Cash Balance

Waltham, MA – (NewMediaWire) – August 13, 2020 – Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX: TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $7.44 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $7.87 million for the same period in 2019, a 5.5% decrease. Product revenues increased 37% to $3.34 million compared to $2.45 million in the same period in 2019.  The decrease in revenue was primarily from curtailed installation activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced energy production revenue due to customer facility closures. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2020 was $2.91 million compared to $3.43 million in the second quarter of 2019. Net loss was $654 thousand for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $357 thousand for the same period in 2019.

Key Takeaways:

  • Cash flow provided by operations of $2.66 million compared to cash flows used by operations of $2.10 million for the same period in 2019
  • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter 2020 of $2.86 million compared to $878 thousand at the end of 2019, an increase of 226%
  • Operating expenses decreased by 9.4% to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was negative $363 thousand for the second quarter of 2020 compared to negative $205 thousand for the second quarter of 2019. (Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to Tecogen, adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain or loss on equity securities, goodwill impairment charges and other non-cash non-recurring charges due to the abandonment of certain intangible assets. See table following the statements of operations for a reconciliation from net loss to Adjusted EBITDA as well as important disclosures about the company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA).

On April 17, 2020, the Company obtained a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan of $1,874,200 pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The proceeds were used for payroll, rent and utilities and we anticipate requesting forgiveness of the loan.

“The second quarter saw many challenges for our business and our customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” commented Benjamin Locke, Tecogen’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased that our product sales in the second quarter remained strong despite these challenges. Installation revenues decreased as we close out several large construction projects and experienced COVID-19 related delays on other projects, and our energy production revenues decreased primarily due to customer facility closures.  We are optimistic that our product revenues will continue strong for the rest of the year, and that closed energy production assets will resume operations as COVID-19 related restrictions are eased.  Our cash position is now stronger than it has been for some time. We have also used this opportunity to improve efficiencies and reduce operating expenses so that we have adequate resources to maintain our business through the continuing pandemic and to take advantage of growth opportunities as they arise.”

Highlights:

Financial

  • Product revenues grew 37% year over year
  • Services revenues decreased 21% due to lower installation revenue as several larger construction projects close out and construction activity was curtailed due to COVID-19
  • Energy production revenues decreased 52% primarily due to COVID-19 related closures and other facility shutdowns
  • Gross margin was 39% compared to 44% for the same period in 2019
  • Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $654 thousand compared to $357 thousand for the same period in 2019, an increase of $297 thousand year over year
  • Net loss per share was $0.03 for the second quarter of 2020 and $0.01 for the second quarter of 2019
  • Working capital increased by $575 thousand, a 4% increase since year-end 2019
  • Operating expenses decreased by 9.4% to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019
  • Cash flow provided by operations was $2.66 million compared to cash flows used in operations of $2.10 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to improved collections of accounts receivable
  • Cash and cash equivalents at end of second quarter was $2.86 million (including proceeds from the PPP loan received on April 17, 2020)
  • Terminated Credit Agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation on May 11, 2020

Sales & Operations

  • Executed teaming agreement with Ainsworth, a Toronto-based company providing high quality technical trade services, highlighting Tecogen as its preferred CHP partner
  • Released a white paper entitled “Building Electrification Policy and Combined Heat and Power Relevance” that provides an in-depth analysis of why electrification policy is generally counterproductive to its carbon reduction goals when compared to combined heat and power (CHP)
  • Current sales backlog of equipment and installations as of August 11, 2020 is $13.1 million, comprised of $10.4 million of products and $2.7 million of installation services

Emissions Technology

Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. For example, statements in this press release regarding the potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and results of operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, 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.  Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as supplemented, and Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 (“Second Quarter Form 10-Q”), in each case under the heading “Risk Factors.” The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Second Quarter Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of the Second Quarter Form 10-Q.  Any forward-looking statement in this release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, the company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

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 principles (“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 due to abandonment of certain intangible assets), 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.
