Revenue Growth
Revenue increased 9% year-over-year to $60.2 million in Q1 2026 (from $55.3 million in Q1 2025), driven by higher sales volume, firming HFC prices and warmer-than-typical weather in parts of the U.S.
ERP Launch and Integration
Successfully launched and integrated a new ERP system that is now functional and delivering faster, single-source data for management decision-making; company expects ongoing optimization through the year but no major disruptions.
Strategic Licensing for Next-Generation Refrigerants
Signed license agreements to reclaim and resell next-generation refrigerants (R-448A and R-449A), positioning the company to serve supermarket/converted-segment demand as reclamation volumes ramp.
Management and Board Strengthening
Promoted Rob Stoody to SVP of Operations, expanded sales/marketing leadership (Kirk Reimer), and added two independent directors (Alan Sheriff and Jeff Feeler) while appointing a new Lead Independent Director—bolstering operational, M&A and capital markets expertise.
Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
Unlevered balance sheet with $19 million of cash at quarter end and $2.5 million of opportunistic common stock repurchases executed in Q1; management expects Q1 to be the year low for cash and to generate cash flow later in the selling season.
Market Position & Regulatory Tailwind
Reinforced market positioning as a supplier in both wholesale/contractor channels and 24/7 customers (supermarkets/industrial), and highlighted supportive regulatory tailwinds from the AIM Act that favor reclaimed refrigerant demand.
Q2 Volume Expectations and Margin Recovery Outlook
Guidance contemplates higher volumes year-over-year in Q2, and management reiterates expectation that gross margin will improve into Q2/Q3 and reach mid-20s percent for the year.
