Insights

Financial Analyst

Tecogen showing financial improvement with 17.6% revenue growth and narrowed losses, though still operating at a deficit despite NYSE uplist.

Tecogen's Q1 2025 results demonstrate notable improvement across several financial metrics despite remaining in loss territory. The 17.6% revenue increase to $7.28 million was primarily driven by a substantial 69.9% surge in product sales, particularly in chillers and cogeneration equipment. This product segment growth signals potentially stronger market adoption of Tecogen's clean energy solutions.

While still operating at a loss, the company has successfully narrowed its quarterly deficit to $0.66 million from $1.10 million year-over-year, representing a 40% improvement. The gross margin expansion from 41.6% to 44.3% indicates enhanced operational efficiency in manufacturing and service delivery.

The improved Adjusted EBITDA, though still negative at $0.38 million (vs. $0.90 million loss in Q1 2024), shows Tecogen is moving toward operational sustainability. However, the 5.2% increase in operating expenses signals ongoing investments in growth initiatives, including R&D and strategic hiring.

The cash position of $4.07 million provides some runway but requires monitoring given the continued cash burn. The recent NYSE American uplist represents a strategic move to improve stock visibility and liquidity, potentially facilitating future capital raising if needed.

The segment performance reveals a strategic shift: strong product and service revenue growth offset by declining energy production revenue from expired contracts. This suggests a pivot toward equipment sales and maintenance rather than energy-as-a-service models. The company's mention of data center initiatives and the Vertiv partnership indicates efforts to target high-growth markets where reliable energy solutions are essential.

NORTH BILLERICA, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2025 / Tecogen Inc. (NYSE American:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $7.28 million and net loss of $0.66 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 compared to revenues of $6.19 million, and a net loss of $1.10 million in 2024. Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $4.07 million at March 31, 2025.

Abinand Rangesh, CEO of Tecogen, reported that "there have been multiple exciting developments at Tecogen. We recently listed on the NYSE American stock exchange to increase liquidity and visibility of our stock. Across the board, our financial numbers also improved substantially. Our revenue for the quarter increased 17.6% and our adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed from $900k to $381k. Our gross profit margin also increased from 41.6% to 44.3%. Operating expenses were higher during the quarter due to increased R&D expenses, recruiter fees for strategic hires, and professional fees for the uplist. In addition to improving financials, we continue to make inroads on our data center strategy. During the conference call, I will update shareholders on interest from larger scale data center projects and the Vertiv partnership."

⁽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.
