The Albany Gazette - Tecogen Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Abinand Rangesh, CEO of Tecogen, commented that "since our last earnings call we have made tremendous progress. First, the potential data center customer we have an LOI from is now considering us for three sites and for a much larger portion of the AI load. This may result in significantly more chiller sales than the original LOI.

We have also now attracted the interest of bigger, more established data center developers. Many have multiple data centers in construction. The feedback from some of the larger developers is not only validating everything we've said to date, but that the power allocated to cooling is larger than we originally anticipated. We have also become aware of other benefits of our solution as a result of our discussions with larger developers. The Vertiv relationship has also taken a positive turn and is building momentum.

Last, we were able to present our solution to both of the big AI chip manufacturers and have received positive feedback.

We have also increased our R&D spend to push our technical edge in natural gas cooling and increase service intervals on our engines. This will be critical in data center applications where we might have a hundred engines in one location but will also be instrumental in increasing service margins fleet wide. To test our product improvements on a larger scale and to improve service margins, especially in NYC, we invested $700k in new engines this quarter. Although this impacts service margin substantially in the short term, it will more than pay for itself in longer term benefits.

During the call I will shed more light on next steps to convert our LOI with a data center developer to a PO, next steps with some of the larger developers, and recent developments in the Vertiv relationship."

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains "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 except as required under the securities laws.

In addition to those factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our Current reports on Form 8-K, under "Risk Factors," and elsewhere therein, 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, the impact of tariffs, 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.

⁽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.
