Hydrogenics Corporation (Nasdaq:HYGS) (TSX:HYG) ("Hydrogenics" or "the Company"), a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and hydrogen-based power modules, today reported second quarter 2014 financial results. Results are reported in US dollars and are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

"The evidence is building to support our growth strategy in energy storage and hydrogen power generation. Our recent announcement for a 2 megawatt Power-to-Gas installation in Ontario, Canada and our new joint venture in Korea represent significant increases in scale," said Daryl Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are beginning to see momentum towards even larger projects where Hydrogenics' technology is uniquely positioned to lead. Our backlog has grown to $67.1 million, and we have visibility on a number of sizeable opportunities which could bring the backlog to well over $100 million within the next twelve months.

"Based on our current level of booked business and projected delivery timeframes, we forecast achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA2 and over $50 million in revenue for the full 2014 fiscal year. The second half of 2014 – and, in particular, the fourth quarter – will show strong top line growth due to our current expected shipments and new business development initiatives. The market for energy storage applications is evolving at the pace anticipated, and we see additional contracts being announced in the coming quarters. Overall, Hydrogenics is very well positioned to meet the increasing demand for our unique hydrogen-based product portfolio going forward."

Recent Highlights (for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2014, unless otherwise noted)

  • Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 rose 10%, or $0.9 million, over the prior-year period to $10.7 million.  
  • The Company announced a definitive agreement to form a joint venture ("JV") with Kolon Water & Energy, which is part of a major industrial enterprise in South Korea. The JV company, Kolon Hydrogenics, will build and operate multi-megawatt power generation facilities in South Korea and Asia using Hydrogenics' fuel cell technology. The first 1MW of production and associated equipment and services from this newly created related entity, totaling $10.9 million, has already been ordered and is in Hydrogenics' quarter-end backlog.  
  • Gross profit rose to 30% of revenue, or $3.2 million, for the quarter, up $1.5 million, or 88%, from the second quarter of 2013.  
  • Cash operating costs decreased 5%, or $0.2 million, to $3.6 million from $3.8 million for the comparable period in 2013.  
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased 67% to $0.3 million, versus $0.9 million in the second quarter of last year.  
  • Net loss for the second quarter was $0.1 million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $(0.49) per share, in the second quarter of 2013.  
  • The Company exited the second quarter with $18.9 million of cash and restricted cash, a $5.1 million increase from December 31, 2013 primarily reflecting: (i) $13.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of common shares and exercise of options; and (ii) $0.9 million of proceeds from the loan agreement with the Ministry of Ontario; partially offset by (iii) $8.6 million of cash used by operating activities; and (iv) $0.5 million of capital expenditures.  
  • Hydrogenics secured $19.2 million for renewable energy storage, industrial gas, and power systems applications during the quarter, resulting in an order backlog of $67.1 million as of June 30, 2014. The increase in orders received in the Power Systems business segment was primarily the result of the signing of a JV agreement with Kolon Water & Energy; $7.6 million of this is not expected to be recognized as revenue in the following twelve months. Order backlog movement during the second quarter (in $ millions) was as follows:
            Expected Revenue Recognition
  March 31, 2014 backlog Orders Received FX Orders Delivered/ Revenue Recognized June 30, 2014 backlog During next 12 mo Beyond next 12 mo
OnSite Generation  24.5  5.6  0.0  7.5  22.6  22.1  0.5
Power Systems  34.0  13.6  0.1  3.2  44.5  18.0  26.5
Total  58.5  19.2  0.1  10.7  67.1  40.1  27.0

Highlights for the Six months Ended June 30, 2014 (compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, unless otherwise noted)

  • Revenue decreased $3.4 million, or 15%, to $18.8 million.  
  • Gross profit was $5.2 million, or 27% of revenue, versus $6.6 million, or 30% of revenue, in the prior-year period.  
  • Cash operating costs were $7.3 million, a reduction of $0.2 million from the comparable period in 2013.  
  • Hydrogenics' Adjusted EBITDA loss rose to $2.0 million from $0.7 million.

Notes

  1. Cash operating costs are defined as the sum of SG&A and R&D, less amortization and depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense inclusive of compensation costs indexed to our share price. This is a non-IFRS measure and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Management uses this measure as a rough estimate of the amount of fixed costs to operate the Corporation and believes this is a useful measure for investors for the same purpose.  
  2. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding stock based compensation (both cash settled long term compensation indexed to share price and share based compensation), other finance income and expenses, depreciation and amortization. These items are considered by management to be outside of Hydrogenics' ongoing operational results. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
