NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., August 7, 2024 - Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $4.7 million and net loss of $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to revenues of $6.7 million, and a net loss of $0.8 million in 2023. We generated $0.1 million in cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and our cash balance was $0.8 million at June 30, 2024.

Customers have told us to expect substantial product orders before the end of Q3. Some of these are in regions that are receptive to natural gas. Some are in new segments like data centers. During the investor call, I will discuss why our technology is better than the alternatives for data centers. I'll also explain how collocation and enterprise data centers have unique needs that our products can solve," commented Abinand Rangesh, Tecogen's Chief Executive Officer.

•Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.54 million compared to a net loss of $0.78 million for the same period of 2023, an increase of $0.76 million, due to decreased revenue and gross profit for our Products segment due to the relocation of our manufacturing operations to our new facility in April 2024. EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $(0.06)/share and $(0.03)/share, respectively.

•Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.64 million compared to a net loss of $2.27 million in 2023, an increase of $0.37 million, due to decreased revenue and gross profit for our Products segment due to the relocation of our manufacturing operations to our new facility in April 2024.

The decrease in revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 is due to the relocation of our manufacturing operations to our new facility in April 2024, which necessitated construction activities to install equipment test cells and comply with local regulations, significantly reducing our production capacity. We plan to resume manufacturing operations during the third quarter of 2024.

◦Products revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.6 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of 61.2%.

•Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.1 million compared to $2.8 million in the same period in of 2023. Gross margin increased to 44.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 42.0% for the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit margin was driven by increased Service contract revenues and improved Energy Production gross profit due to higher revenues and lower costs.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) was negative $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to negative $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was negative $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to negative $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	(2,198,026)	$	(1,855,849)

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), 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.
