Fuel Tech Reports 2022 Second Quarter Financial Results
WARRENVILLE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a technology company providing advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems, emissions control, and water treatment in utility and industrial applications, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022.
“Revenues increased 22% during the second quarter of 2022, led by higher sales at our Air Pollution Control (APC) business segment,” said Vincent J. Arnone, President and CEO. “Selling, general and administrative expenses declined, our operating loss narrowed, and we ended the second quarter with $33.3 million in total cash and cash equivalents, and no debt. We announced $3.6 million of new APC awards during the quarter and commenced operations of a new FUEL CHEM TIFI® Targeted In-Furnace Injection system at a coal-fired unit in the western United States. We also validated the best-in-class oxygen transfer efficiency of our Dissolved Gas Infusion technology; these results, which have been attested to by two independent water treatment experts, will be available in a soon to be published white paper.”
Q2 2022 Consolidated Results Overview
Consolidated revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 (“Q2 2022”) rose to $6.4 million from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 (“Q2 2021”), reflecting a $1.8 million increase at APC, driven by the timing of project execution and new APC orders. Consolidated revenues were partially offset by a $0.6 million decline in revenues at FUEL CHEM, due to the loss of one customer from permanent plant retirement and unforeseen plant outages.
Gross margin for Q2 2022 was 42.1% of revenues compared to 49.5% of revenues in Q2 2021, reflecting lower gross profit margin at both operating segments.
SG&A expenses fell to $2.9 million in Q2 2022 from $3.0 million in Q2 2021.
Operating loss narrowed to $(0.5) million from an operating loss of $(0.7) million in Q2 2021.
Net loss in Q2 2022 was $(0.4) million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.03) per share, in Q2 2021.
APC segment revenues rose to $2.7 million from $1.0 million in Q2 2021, for the reasons cited above. APC gross margin in Q2 2022 was 34.2% compared to 48.6% in Q2 2021, due to a modification in product and project mix.
FUEL CHEM segment revenues were $3.6 million compared to $4.2 million in Q2 2021, for the reasons cited above. Segment gross margin in Q2 2022 was 48.0% compared to 49.7% in Q2 2021, due to lower revenues and higher material, freight, and labor cost.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(0.2) million in Q2 2022 compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(0.6) million in Q2 2021.
Consolidated Backlog
Consolidated backlog at June 30, 2022 rose to $10.5 million from $9.1 million at December 31, 2021.
Financial Condition
At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $31.3 million, restricted cash equivalents were $2.0 million, stockholders’ equity was $44.6 million, or $1.47 per share, and the Company had no long-term debt.
Study Validates Oxygen Transfer Efficiency of Dissolved Gas Infusion (DGITM) Technology
Fuel Tech’s DGI technology is an innovative alternative to current aeration technologies. DGI utilizes two patent-pending technologies to ensure optimal gas delivery to target water and wastewater process applications. The first is a next generation pressurized saturator for gas transfer to a slipstream of water, and the second is an innovative channel injector delivery system to distribute the gas-saturated slipstream with minimal gas loss to the water treatment reservoir.
In a soon-to-be-published white paper verified and certified by two independent third party experts, DGI demonstrated that greater than 99% of the oxygen supplied to the DGI system was delivered to the treatment reservoir as dissolved oxygen with no loss to the atmosphere. DGI’s channel injector was fully capable of transferring oxygen-infused water to the treatment reservoir while only being placed twenty-four inches below surface level, without any measurable loss of oxygen to the environment or any delay in flow of oxygen to react in the aqueous phase.
DGI has the potential to displace or enhance traditional aeration technologies by:
- Enhancing or increasing the capacity of underperforming aeration systems
- Providing supplementary oxygen for existing operations
- Delivering residual DO at higher concentrations and dosing rates than traditional technologies, or
- Meeting demand immediately for wastewater streams during process upsets, changing requirements or short retention scenarios
The benefits to be derived from the application of DGI are many and include: regulatory compliance, increased treatment capacity and the avoidance of material capital spending, water preservation, the minimization of chemical utilization, odor control and improving overall water quality for humans and wildlife.
Mr. Arnone commented, “We believe that these results, which we will release to the public shortly, represent a foundational component of our ongoing DGI business development strategy and product commercialization efforts.”

Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company has provided an Adjusted EBITDA disclosure as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock compensation expense, and intangible assets abandonment and building impairment. The Company’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and ability to generate cash flow, which we believe is a meaningful measure for our investor and analyst communities. In many cases non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by these individuals to evaluate Company performance and ultimately determine a reasonable valuation for our common stock. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure of net income (loss) has been included in the above financial table.
