Q2 2023 Revenue of $6.7 Million, an Increase of 5.2% QoQ
WALTHAM, MA - 
(NewMediaWire) - August 09, 2023 - Tecogen Inc. (OTCQX:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $6.7 million and a net loss of $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to revenues of $6.4 million, and a net loss of $0.9 million in 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 revenues were $12.1 million and the net loss was $2.3 million compared to revenues of $13.9 million, and net loss of $0.8 million for the same period in 2022.
"We saw an increase in revenues compared to both Q1 2023 and Q2 2022 of 25% and 5% respectively. Our sales backlog has increased from $7.1 million at the end of Q1 to $8.3 million at the end of Q2 to $11.3 million today. This backlog does not include our recurring service revenue. The Aegis service contract acquisition meant we had service revenues of almost $4 million this quarter or a 30% increase. We finished the quarter with $1.87 million in cash as we generated cash from operations in Q2 2023 and H1 2023. Overall we made substantial progress towards turning around the business and meeting the objectives we set out earlier in the year." commented Abinand Rangesh, Tecogen's Chief Executive Officer.
Key Takeaways
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
● Net loss in Q2 2023 was $0.8 million compared to net loss of $0.9 million in Q2 2022, a decrease of $0.1 million, primarily due to higher Services segment revenue and gross profit. EPS was a loss of $0.03/share in both Q2 2023 and Q2 2022, respectively.
● Net loss in H1 2023 was $2.3 million compared to net loss of $0.8 million in Q2 2022, an increase of $1.5 million, due primarily to lower Products segment revenue and gross profit and an increase in operating expenses. EPS was a net loss of $0.09/share and a net loss of $0.03/share in H1 2023 and H1 2022, respectively.
Loss from Operations

● Loss from operations for H1 2023 was $2.2 million compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $1.5 million. The loss from operations increased due to lower revenue and gross profit margins in our Products segment and increased operating expenses.
Revenues

o Products revenue was $2.4 million in Q2 2023 compared to $3.0 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of 18.8%, primarily due to decreased cogeneration and chiller sales into our key market segments including controlled environment agriculture.
o Services revenue was $4.0 million in Q2 2023 compared to $3.1 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of 29.6%, primarily due to revenue from the acquired Aegis maintenance contracts and a 9.0% increase in revenue from existing contracts.
o Energy Production revenue decreased 1.2%, to $350 thousand in Q2 2023 compared to $354 thousand in the same period in 2022.
● Revenues for H1 2023 were $12.1 million compared to $13.9 million for the same period in 2022, a 12.4% decrease.

o Energy Production revenue decreased 5.6%, to $0.88 million in H1 2023 compared to $0.94 million in the same period in 2022 due to temporary maintenance work on two sites.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
● Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $2.8 million compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. Gross margin was 42.0% in the first quarter compared to 42.1% for the same period in 2022. Products margin increased to 33.8% from 33.0%, while Services margin decreased to 47.5% from 51.7%, due to higher labor and material costs. In particular, as supply chain constraints for engines eased, we performed significant engine related replacements and upgrades which negatively impacted Service margins.
● Gross profit for H1 2023 decreased to $4.9 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $0.9 million. Gross margin decreased to 40.6% in the first half of 2023 compared to 41.8% for the same period in 2022 due to higher labor and material costs which reduced Products margin to 31.9% from 32.9% and Services margin to 46.2% from 52.4%. In particular, as supply chain constraints for engines eased, we performed a significant number of engine replacements in H2 2023 which negatively impacted Service margins. Energy Production margin deceased to 36.9% from 40.4% due to decreased runtime at the sites.
Operating Expenses
● Operating expenses increased by 2.7% to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $3.5 million in the same period in 2022 due to increases in business insurance and consulting costs, attributable in part to the Aegis acquisition.
● Operating expenses increased by 9.6% to $7.2 million for the first half of 2023 compared to $6.5 million in the same period in 2022 due to increases in business insurance, travel, and consulting costs, attributable in part to the Aegis acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was negative $592 thousand for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a negative $651 thousand for the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was negative $1.9 million for the first half of 2023 compared to negative $448 thousand for the first half of 2022. (Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss attributable to Tecogen, adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain or loss on equity securities, goodwill impairment charges and other non-cash non-recurring charges or gains including abandonment of intangible assets and the extinguishment of debt. See the table following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for a reconciliation from net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as important disclosures about the company's use of Adjusted EBITDA).

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.
