Hydrogenics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Results
04 3월 2015 - 8:30PM
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 fourth quarter and full year 2014 financial
results. Results are reported in US dollars and are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
"Hydrogenics once again ended the year with record revenue and a
number of strategic accomplishments – posting our first profitable
quarter and laying the groundwork for strong top-line growth going
forward," said Daryl Wilson, Hydrogenics CEO. "In 2014 Hydrogenics
won a major energy storage application in North America, formed a
power generation joint venture in Korea, and racked up more fueling
stations awards than ever before. While the Company saw some
slippage in certain December shipments due to one-time supplier
issues, these orders are on track for the first quarter, and our
backlog remains strong.
"Looking ahead our industry-leading position and pipeline of
opportunities – particularly within energy storage and
utility-scale power generation – are expected to drive further
revenue growth this year; in 2014 alone, we won $18 million of
energy storage projects, including funded R&D activity,
equipment sales and contracts for services. Prospects in this area
continue to expand given our current level of qualified leads,
which now stands at approximately $80 million. Hydrogenics is at
the forefront of the hydrogen economy, and the Company continues to
see larger, more complex requirements across the globe. Even in the
face of lower fuel costs, the demand for our energy storage
applications and power modules remains robust, and we are committed
to achieving improved operating performance – and a path to
profitability – in the quarters to come."
Highlights for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2014
(compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013, unless otherwise
noted)
- Revenue increased by 42% to $15.7 million reflecting higher
sales in both the Onsite Generation and Power Systems business
units.
- Gross profit was 19.1% of revenue for the quarter, versus 24.6%
in the prior-year period, reflecting a change in product mix as
well as the impact of Euro denominated revenue where significant
cost of sales are denominated in US dollars (principally in our
German operations).
- Cash Operating Costs1 declined by $0.2 million $2.7 million in
the quarter, compared to $2.9 in 2013. A net increase in R&D
expense of $0.1 million was offset by a reduction in SG&A
expense of $0.3 million primarily due to the impact of the
weakening Euro and Canadian dollar when translated to US
dollars.
- Adjusted EBITDA2 was $0.2 million for the quarter compared with
an Adjusted EBITDA2 loss of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of
2013.
- Net income for the quarter was $0.6 million or $0.06 per share,
an improvement of $3.7 million from the loss of $3.1 million or
$(0.34) per share reported in the fourth quarter of 2013,
reflecting the aforementioned items and higher stock-based
compensation expense in 2013.
- Hydrogenics secured $11.7 million of orders for renewable
energy storage, industrial gas and power system applications during
the quarter, resulting in an order backlog of $62.2 million as of
December 31, 2014. Order backlog movement during the fourth quarter
(in $ millions) was as follows:

- The Company exited the fourth quarter with $10.4 million of
cash and restricted cash, a $3.9 million decrease from September
30, 2014 primarily reflecting: (i) a $2.0 million decrease in
working capital; (ii) $1.3 million invested in the
Kolon-Hydrogenics joint venture; and (iii) $0.3 million related to
the purchase of property, plant and equipment.
Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2014
(compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2013, unless otherwise
noted)
- Revenue rose 7% to $45.5 million versus 2013, primarily
reflecting higher sales in the Company's OnSite Generation business
unit.
- Gross profit was $11.2 million for the year, or 24.6% of
revenue.
- Cash operating costs were $13.9 million, versus $13.5 million
in 2013. The year-over-year change primarily reflects an increase
in total R&D expense of $0.7 million, partially offset by a
decline in SG&A expense of $0.3 million primarily related to
exchange rate fluctuations as noted in the fourth quarter of
2014.
- The Adjusted EBITDA2 loss for 2014 was $2.5 million versus an
Adjusted EBITDA2 loss of $1.2 million in 2013, primarily reflecting
the above noted changes.
- Net loss was $4.5 million, a 49% reduction from the $8.9
million reported in 2013, reflecting the aforementioned items and
higher stock-based compensation expense in 2013.
Notes
- 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 the
Company's 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.
- 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.
