Tecogen Announces Third Quarter Earnings
Quarterly Revenue expands by 44% as compared to the same period in 2013
WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), a manufacturer and installer of high efficiency, Ultra™ clean combined heat and power products including natural gas engine-driven cogeneration, air conditioning systems, and high-efficiency water heaters for industrial and commercial use, reported revenues of $4,175,863 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2,893,240 for the same period in 2013, an increase of 44%.
Major Highlights:
Financial
- Product and Installation revenue increased by 148% compared to same period in 2013.
- Service revenue was comparatively flat as the company temporarily diverted service manpower in bringing new service center online in Brooklyn.
- Sales backlog of equipment and installations was $14.2 million at quarter end, compared to $12 million at the end of the second quarter.
- Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,089,471 compared to $1,092,632, respectively for the same period in 2013.
- Gross margins decreased to 26% from 38% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The margin decrease is attributed to a large chiller order requiring significant design and fabrication upgrades to modernize the model line for this and future sales. These upgrades related to emissions after-treatment and a newer refrigerant. The company also incurred warranty expenses to complete a component exchange in our cogeneration systems to extend its useful service life.
- Research and development expenses for the year and the quarter were $889,240 and $329,524, respectively, as the Company continues to expand development of its technology and secure necessary intellectual property.
- Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,467,734 compared to $1,414,517 for the same period in 2013. Our goal is for operations to be profitable by year end.
- Net loss per share was $0.09 and $0.11 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Sales & Operations
- Orders for gas fired chillers continue to grow with additional sales in the US and Mexico.
- Received our first order for Tecogen Ultra Emission System applied to a renewable gas engine in Southern California.
- Received our first order for Tecogen Ultra Emission System applied in a natural gas emergency generator requiring air permit for extended hours of operation in Southern California.
- Steady growth in orders for Ilios Water Sourced Heat Pumps with backlog of 8 units at quarter end.
