Tecogen, Inc.: Tecogen Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

NORTH BILLERICA, MA / ACCESSWIRE / 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.

"As expected, during Q2 we had no production as we moved our factory and offices. Now, I believe we are about to put the challenges of the last year and half behind us.

We've found new markets for our products despite anti-fossil fuel laws in New York City, Boston, and other east coast regions. We've successfully managed the $675k factory move without a dilutive equity raise.

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.

⁽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.
