Tecogen reports Q3 adjusted EBITDA ($1.8M) vs. ($0.8M) last year

Reports Q3 revenue $7.2M vs. $5.6M last year. Abinand Rangesh, CEO of Tecogen (TGEN), 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.”
