Tecogen Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

Q3 2023 revenue of $7.1 million, an increase of 7.5% QoQ

WALTHAM, Mass., November 8, 2023 - Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $7.1 million and a net loss of $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to revenues of $6.6 million, and a net loss of $0.3 million in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 revenues were $19.2 million and the net loss was $2.8 million compared to revenues of $20.5 million, and net loss of $1.0 million for the same period in 2022.

"We continue to make progress towards the objectives we set out earlier in the year. We have seen revenue increase this quarter both compared to earlier this year and to the same period last year. We have focused our marketing efforts on finding project developers for our clean cooling solutions, especially in locations that are more favorable to gas technologies. This is leading to an increase in the size of our sales pipeline and I'm cautiously optimistic that we will receive customer orders for many of these projects over the upcoming few months.

We also saw an increase in product margin due to increased pricing and the product mix this quarter. We expect Service margin to recover to greater than 50% in the coming quarters after we complete pending engine replacements and continue to implement changes that should increase our service intervals.

As we work to strengthen our balance sheet, I am pleased to see a decline in inventory levels compared to earlier in the year. We established a $1.5 million credit facility in October 2023 to improve liquidity. Our cash position is currently $1.1 million with $500k drawn under the credit facility. Our cash position was negatively affected by delays in customer deposit collection due to slower financing cycles presently. We expect to collect these deposits over the upcoming months. We are exploring opportunities to accelerate customers' decision-making regarding capital intensive energy projects by working with financing companies to provide project capital.

Lastly, the air-cooled chiller testing is progressing and we are working on getting this product specified on customer projects and obtaining purchase orders." commented Abinand Rangesh, Tecogen's Chief Executive Officer.

•Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.8 million compared to net loss of $1.0 million in the comparable 2022 period, an increase of $1.7 million, due primarily to lower Products segment revenue and gross profit and an increase in operating expenses.

Forward Looking Statements

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.

(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 and extinguishment of debt), 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.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT This presentation and 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 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q 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 presentation 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. 3
