Tecogen Announces Third Quarter 2016 Results
Delivers operating profit driven by dramatic 41.5% growth in revenues and
17.4% combined gross margin improvement

WALTHAM, Mass., November 10, 2016 - Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products which, through patented technology, nearly eliminate criteria pollutants and significantly reduce a customer's carbon footprint, reported revenues of $6,616,455 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $4,676,042 for the same period in 2015, or 41.5% growth in top line revenue.
Income from operations was $249,493 compared to a $923,745 loss in the prior year comparable period. Similarly, Tecogen delivered net income for the quarter of $207,868 compared to a loss of $948,842 in the third quarter 2015.
Speaking about the turn to profitability, Benjamin Locke, Tecogen Co-Chief Executive Officer noted, “This quarter demonstrates the value of management's improvement initiatives on both the cost control and sales side. These steps take time and patience to fully implement but we are now beginning to reap benefit. The entire team, from manufacturing to sales to service, deserves congratulations for their efforts as we stand at what we hope will be seen as a major turning point in our company history.”
Revenue results were driven by meaningful growth in both Services and Products related revenues. Total Services related revenues grew 33.8% over the prior year period, driven by installation activity, while Product revenue grew 53.2% compared to third quarter 2015, helped by strong cogeneration sales.
Our cost control initiatives generated 17.4% combined gross margin improvement in the quarter, bringing gross margin up to 41.9% compared to 35.7% in third quarter 2015 and above management's targeted 35-40% gross margin range. The increase in margins was the direct result of product upgrades and improvements. Management expects growth in sales volume to maintain this quarterly gross margin going forward.
On a combined basis, operating expense was down 2.6% to $2,525,325 for the third quarter 2016 from $2,592,676 in the same quarter of 2015. Operating expense remains in line with management's goal to hold full year operating expense near $10 million.
Backlog of products and installations was $11.9 million as of third quarter end and currently stands at $13.1 million as of Monday, November 7, 2016.
Speaking about the results and other recent news, Mr. Locke added, "Tecogen has achieved a number of notable milestones of late, including the pivotal turn toward what we believe will be consistent profitability. The sales team continues to make material progress on building lasting relationships with ESCO partners and key customers that can produce long term repeat business for Tecogen. On the expense side, we have implemented a number of cost control initiatives over the past year that we believe will maintain operating expense near $10 million annually and provide continued cost of sales improvement. Although product sales from our TTcogen joint venture do not appear in our backlog, the team has made steady progress in developing new projects that we hope will lay the foundation for success next year.
"Quarterly results aside, we made two recent announcements that further push Tecogen into new territory. The acquisition of our long-time affiliate company, American DG Energy Inc., will create a vertically integrated company able to offer complete end-to-end clean energy solutions, including financing. The addition of American DG's Energy revenue stream to our Services business will create a company with approximately half of total revenues from long-term contracted sources, a stable funding source for our ongoing growth initiatives. On the emissions front, our recent


Exhibit 99.02

contract to develop our ultra-clean Ultera emissions technology for the propane-powered fork truck market is an exciting opportunity to extend the technology into new platforms and verticals. This is an excellent example of our R&D team looking to seed future growth with new product applications, we look forward to sharing progress there as the project develops. Looking ahead, we expect trends in energy efficiency, emissions control, and building resiliency all to grant significant competitive advantage to our portfolio of clean energy technologies and act as long term growth tailwinds."
Major Highlights:
Financial
•
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2016 was $2,774,818 compared to $1,668,931 in 3Q 2015, an increase of 66.3% versus the prior year. This substantial growth was generated by improvement in both top line revenues and gross margins.
•
Gross margin in the third quarter 2016 increased to 41.9% compared to 35.7% in 2015. Margins benefited from improvement in both Services and Product gross margins.
•
Services gross margin improved to 43.5% in the period compared to the 38.0% in the prior year. Services gross margin was helped by continued cost control as well as increasing penetration of our high-margin, high-value add, 'turnkey lite' offering on the installation side.
•
Product gross margin was 39.8% for third quarter 2016 compared to 32.2% in third quarter 2015. Product gross margin was primarily helped by the new materials and supplier arrangements put in place over the past several months as well as by the product mix shift toward our new InVerde e+ model.
•
On a combined basis, operating expense fell to $2,525,325 for the third quarter 2016 from $2,592,676 in the third quarter of 2015, a 2.6% improvement and in line with management's goal to deliver full year operating expense near $10 million.
•
Consolidated net income, attributable to Tecogen, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $207,868 compared to a consolidated net loss of $948,842 for the same period in 2015.
•
Net income per share was $0.01 compared to a net loss of $0.06 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Sales & Operations
•
Product - Product sales revenues were higher in the period, posting 53.2% growth over the prior year comparable quarter. Higher cogeneration product sales more than delivered the entirety of the growth in Product revenues, partially offsetting a year-on-year decline in Chiller & Heat Pump sales. Variations in product mix are typical from quarter to quarter as customer orders for different products are not entirely predictable.
•
Services - Services revenues grew 33.8% year-on-year, benefiting from increasing penetration in service contracts and favorable operating metrics for the installed fleet as well as an active period for installations work. Continued penetration of our 'turnkey lite' offering, which includes custom value-added engineering design work as well as custom factory engineered accessories and load modules, has been a strong source of Services revenue growth and is expected to continue to develop as an important revenue stream.
•
Backlog - Current sales backlog of equipment and installations as of Monday November 7, 2016 was $13.1 million, driven by strong traction in the InVerde product line and Installation services. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016 backlog was $11.9 million compared to $10.6 million in backlog at third quarter-end 2015 - in line with the Company’s goal of consistently delivering quarter-end product backlog greater than $10 million.
•
TTcogen - During its first full quarter of operation, our joint venture with Czech CHP-manufacturer TEDOM made steady progress toward building product awareness and establishing what we hope will be profitable relationships with key partners. TTcogen won a handful of sales in the quarter and has been working toward


Exhibit 99.02

developing several other projects which we expect will lay the groundwork for more meaningful sales in the coming year.
•
Emissions -
◦
ULTRATEK - Automotive emissions development progress continued with ULTRATEK's Phase 2 testing at AVL's California Technology Center. As opposed to Phase 1's testing of a light-duty vehicle, for Phase 2 the ULTRATEK team utilized a more refined design of the Ultera system applied to other gasoline powered models powered by small, high density, undersized engines. The value of this potentially groundbreaking emissions control technology was demonstrated in third round funding for the joint venture that recently valued ULTRATEK at $58.2 million.
◦
PERC - The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) recently awarded Tecogen a research contract to develop Ultera for the propane powered fork-truck market. The project will assess the adaption of Tecogen's technology for the category in collaboration with select leading fork truck manufacturers - ultimately with the goal of developing an ultra-clean propane fork truck offering a robust indoor air-quality advantage without compromising vehicle performance.
◦
CA Air Permit for Ultera on Standby Generators - On September 30, 2016 the customer's southern California (CA) site received a Facility Permit to Operate without emergency power exemption. This operating permit is contingent upon successful completion of a source test within 180 days following start-up and site commissioning. We expect installation and commissioning to be completed this winter and will share further information about the project at the customer's discretion.
