Tecogen Announces Second Quarter 2018 Results
Reporting $8.5 million in Revenue and 11.4% Top Line Growth

WALTHAM, Mass., August 14, 2018 - 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 consolidated revenues of $8,453,165 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $7,590,540 for the same period in 2017, providing 11.4% growth in top line revenue. The energy production revenue from the sites of our wholly-owned subsidiary, American DG Energy, contributed $1,508,225 in revenue to the quarterly result. Consolidated gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 was $3,159,594 compared to $2,986,622 in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 5.8%, or $172,972, in gross profit year over year.
As of the end of Q2 2018, on a trailing four quarters basis, revenue was a record of $37.4 million with revenue growth of 32.8% year over year and gross profit was a record $14.1 million.
Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA(1), excluding the unrealized loss on EuroSite Power Inc.'s shares owned by American DG Energy, stock-compensation expense and merger related expenses from earnings, was negative $329,541 for the second quarter of 2018 versus positive $64,355 for the second quarter of 2017, a difference of $393,896. (Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss attributable to Tecogen, adjusted for interest, depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized loss on equity securities and merger related expenses. 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).
The Company is investing in the future through (1) research and development, as discussed in the "Emissions Technology" section below resulting in an increase in research and development expenses of $191,055, or 87.3% to $409,779 year over year, (2) selling activities with such expenses increasing by $27,885 year over year and (3) energy production, with the addition of American DG Energy, contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses of $344,461 year over year.
Loss from operations was $636,286 compared to $245,857 in the prior year comparable period. Similarly, net loss attributable to the Company for the quarter was $754,350 compared to a comprehensive loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 of $517,899, a difference of $236,451. The second quarter 2018 results included an unrealized loss on EuroSite Power's common stock of $59,042. In 2017 this loss was presented in "other comprehensive loss" and amounted to an unrealized loss of $224,359. Additionally, as discussed above, certain operating expenses increased due to our committed investment in our future.
"The second quarter of 2018 continued our trend of positive revenue growth quarter-over-quarter. We are seeing a strong uptick in demand for our Tecochill natural gas chiller systems as well as our flagship Inverde product, now certified to the new UL “smart inverter” standard,” Tecogen's Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Locke noted. “While we did not achieve full profitability for the quarter, we expect our strong backlog of over $20 million to drive profitability in future quarters.”
Revenue results were driven by solid growth in service related revenues as well as the addition of energy production revenues provided by American DG Energy. Total services related revenues for the second quarter of 2018 grew 20.6% over the prior year period, primarily due to installation activity, while product revenue decreased by 20.3% compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Overall gross margin for the quarter was 37.4% compared to 39.3% in the second quarter of 2017, within management's targeted 35-40% gross margin range.



Exhibit 99.01

On a combined basis, operating expenses increased to $3,795,880 for the second quarter 2018 from $3,232,479 in the same quarter of 2017. An increase in research and development expenses of 87.3% to $409,779, and selling expenses which rose 4.6% to $635,396, along with the consolidation of American DG Energy's core overhead accounted for the majority of this increase.
Backlog of products and installations was $14.2 million as of the end of the second quarter of 2018 and stood at $21.3 million as of August 10, 2018.
Major Highlights:
Financial
Consolidated gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 was $3,159,594 compared to $2,986,622 in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 5.8%, or $172,972, in gross profit year over year.
Product gross margin was 39.9% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 36.9% for the second quarter of 2017. Product gross margin was primarily helped by the materials and supplier arrangements put in place in previous quarters.
Service gross margin declined to 33.6% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 37.6% for the second quarter of 2017. Service gross margin is impacted by margins realized on installation projects.
Energy production gross margin for the second quarter of 2018 was 44.3% compared with the previous year's second quarter, which was an exceptionally strong 57.3% following the completion of the merger with American DG Energy during that quarter. We expect energy production gross margin to fluctuate due to seasonality.
On a combined basis, operating expenses rose to $3,795,880 for the second quarter of 2018 from $3,232,479 in the second quarter of 2017. The consolidation of American DG Energy's operations, an increase in research and development expenses of $191,055 and an increase in selling expenses to $635,396 from $607,511 accounted for the year over year increase.
Net loss attributable to Tecogen for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $754,350 compared to $293,540 for the same period in 2017 and comprehensive loss of $517,899 for the same period in 2017. As discussed above, net loss includes an unrealized loss of $59,042 due to market fluctuations in the EuroSite Power common stock owned by American DG Energy due to the implementation of a recent accounting standard change adopted by Tecogen as of January 1, 2018. Prior to this accounting change, unrealized gains and losses on this investment were accounted for as "other comprehensive income (loss)," falling below the net loss line.
Net loss per share was $0.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $0.01 for the comparative period in 2017.
On May 4, 2018, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, American DG Energy and TTcogen LLC, entered into a Credit Agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation, providing the Company with a line of credit up to $10 million on a revolving secured basis, with availability based on certain accounts receivable and inventory balances.
Current assets at quarter end of $23,385,930 were more than double current liabilities of $11,270,213. Current liabilities as of June 30, 2018 included $2,557,817 of short-term debt on the revolving line of credit with Webster.
Sales & Operations
Product revenues decreased 20.3% from the same period in 2017 primarily due to timing of equipment deliveries.
First half 2018 chiller sales increased 95% over first half 2017 and current chiller backlog increased to a record $6.1 million through Q2 2019. Chiller backlog expected to increase as Tecochill has become the basis of design for many indoor grow facilities.



Exhibit 99.01

Additional product developments are underway to expand Tecogen’s exclusive gas cooling technology segment. 
InVerde cogeneration fleet hit milestone and is surpassing 3.5 million hours of operation since its introduction in 2008. Tecogen has more inverter-based natural gas engine cogeneration systems in operation than any other manufacturer in the US.

Tecopower gets an upgrade with a 5% increase in electrical efficiency, reduced gas pressure requirements, and 5 dBa decrease in noise level, resulting in highest savings and quietest operation of any competitive product.
Services revenues grew 20.6% year on year, benefiting from increasing penetration in service contracts and favorable operating metrics for the installed fleet. 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 good source of services revenue growth and is expected to continue to develop as an important revenue stream.
Current sales backlog of equipment and installations as of August 10, 2018 was $21.3 million, driven by strong traction in both the InVerde and Tecochill product lines, and installation services. As of June 30, 2018, the backlog was $14.2 million compared to $12.7 million as of June 30, 2017, showing a sustainable backlog at this level.
Emissions Technology
Our development program for emissions technology in fork trucks with the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) has concluded.
The results have conclusively shown that the Ultera process is highly effective in improving the emissions output from the standard forklift truck and shows a clear path to its certification as a “near-zero” emitting forklift truck under California regulations.
Tecogen met with executives from the manufacturer and PERC, for purposes of demonstrating the prototype, at the end of May. The manufacturer has informed us that they would like to proceed to the next steps of the program and provide us with engineering support to enhance the prototype followed by its relocation to their facility for evaluation.
At the request of PERC, we submitted a scientific paper describing our forklift program and emissions reduction results for the World LPG Forum in October which is the premier global event for the LPG industry (Liquified Petroleum Gas or commercial propane). Our paper was accepted for presentation at the conference, which is a good opportunity for showcasing the technology to other manufacturers and applications.
In June, the company was informed that our Ultera patent was granted in Japan. This patent gives Tecogen exclusive control over the Ultera technology in Japan and augments the Company’s Ultera patent portfolio which also includes the EU, North America and Australia.
More recently, the company was informed that its patent application for a corrosion resistant catalyst was granted by the USPO. This is an entirely different aspect of the Ultera intellectual property, not discussed previously, that involves a specialized Ultera catalyst material developed by the company with an outside firm that specializes in catalyst material development. The patented catalyst achieves excellent performance while being nearly impervious to corrosion related to sulfur and other compounds found in some fuels that are important to the Company in expanding applications of Ultera (gasoline, biofuels, and some sources of natural gas and propane).
In the area of mobile, gasoline applications of Ultera, our development work continues under company funding subcontracted to a highly-respected, independent institute that specializes in powertrain research. Their work has identified a specific course of research to enhance the Ultera process which we are pursuing.

Commenting on the fork truck project, Tecogen's President and Chief Operating Officer, Robert Panora, stated, "We are very pleased with this outcome and consider this an important step in gaining acceptance of the Ultera technology into higher volume, mobile markets."

Exhibit 99.01

(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 EBITDA (net income attributable to Tecogen Inc adjusted for interest, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation expense, unrealized loss on investment securities and merger related expenses), which is a non-GAAP measure.  The Company believes 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.  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.
