NORTH BILLERICA, MA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Tecogen Inc. (NYSE American:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $6.34 million and net loss of $2.12 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to revenues of $7.28 million, and a net loss of $0.66 million in 2025. Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $9.33 million at March 31, 2026.

Abinand Rangesh, CEO of Tecogen, commented, "We delivered strong progress over the last two months, highlighted by an imminent purchase order from Vertiv for a real-world operating deployment of a 1 MW chiller system. This represents an important step that deepens our partnership and validates growing demand for our technology."

"The chillers will be permanently deployed at one of Vertiv's facilities where it solves power constraints. The installation will allow prospective customers to observe the system in use and support broader customer adoption discussions."

"Building on this momentum, we are actively advancing multiple data center opportunities. As part of this process, we are hosting prospective customers at our factory in the coming weeks for detailed, in-person reviews of our technology and system performance. Engagements that reach this stage of on-site customer evaluation typically represent later phases of due diligence prior to purchasing decisions."

"Operationally, gross profit margin expanded to >40% compared to the end of last year and we are executing on cost reductions to streamline expenses, with the full impact of these cuts expected in the third quarter of this year. We also expect our cash burn to be lower in the coming quarters as a result of these cuts and expected customer deposits."

"Beyond data centers, we are capturing demand driven by broader power constraints across the country. We have recently secured or expect to secure more than $8 million in orders. These opportunities, which are incremental to our core data center focus, have the potential to contribute to revenue and cash flow in the near-term."

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 except as required under the securities laws.

In addition to those factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our Current reports on Form 8-K, under "Risk Factors," and elsewhere therein, 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, the impact of tariffs, 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), 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.
