Tecogen Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results
Tecogen Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results
Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $5.63 million and net loss of $0.93 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to revenues of $7.11 million, and a net loss of $0.48 million in 2023. We used $117 thousand in cash from operations and $839 thousand in property plant and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our cash balance was $1.28 million at September 30, 2024, which reflects $1.0 million of additional funding provided by related parties in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
"Our business development efforts over the last 15 months are showing results. Our backlog has jumped to $10.8m and we expect further orders before year end. Our cash resources and the short term increase in working capital needed to restart production limited our revenue for Q3, but now we expect to see sequential increases in revenue and product shipments each quarter."
"We are also making progress towards closing our first data center projects by early 2025. Data centers are shifting towards AI and liquid cooling but are finding themselves short of power. Therefore, potential data center customers are interested in replacing their electrical chillers with Tecogen's high efficiency natural gas chillers because they can convert an expense - electrical power that would be consumed by cooling - and turn it into revenue by selling that power for use in computing. I will discuss more about this exciting growth opportunity during the conference call" commented Abinand Rangesh, Tecogen's Chief Executive Officer.

The decrease in revenue during the three months ended September 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 resumed manufacturing operations during the third quarter of 2024.
Service revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $3.85 million, compared to $3.84 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 0.2% due to increased revenue from the acquired Aegis maintenance contracts and offset by decreased revenues from existing contracts.
Energy Production revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $389 thousand compared to $331 thousand for the same period in 2023, an increase of 17.3%. The increase in Energy Production revenue is due to increased run hours at certain energy production sites.

The decrease in revenue during the nine months ended September 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 during the second and a portion of the the third quarter. We resumed manufacturing operations during the third quarter of 2024.
Service revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $11.99 million compared to $10.93 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 9.7%.

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.

(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 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.
