NORTH BILLERICA, MA / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2026 / Tecogen Inc. (NYSE American:TGEN), a leading manufacturer of clean energy products, reported revenues of $7.87 million and net loss of $1.59 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to revenues of $7.18 million, and a net loss of $2.13 million in 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, revenues were $19.96 million, and the net loss was $5.86 million, compared to revenues of $21.76 million, and a net loss of $4.25 million in 2025. Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $5.33 million at September 30, 2026.

Abinand Rangesh, CEO of Tecogen, commented, "Revenue increased substantially in the third quarter compared to the first two quarters this year as well as Q3 2025. The higher revenue and customer deposits means that our current cash position has increased to $5.7m today with a further $800k expected to be collected in the next two weeks. Compared to the same period last year, gross profit margin also increased by 7 percentage points showing that operational improvements are starting to take effect.
In addition, the backlog is presently more than $8m. The increases in utility rates and power shortages is accelerating demand for our products, especially in large commercial, healthcare and industrial facilities. Over 70% of this backlog constitutes large property portfolio owners and energy services companies. Therefore, successful initial projects may open the door to significant additional business.

During the call, I will shed more light on the status of the data center pipeline and the pathway to closing them. I will also update shareholders on an exciting innovation we have developed that allows customers to use our dual power source technology as a retrofit to existing chillers, dry coolers, and other loads in data centers or other types of facilities. This innovation allows us to scale up production quickly while increasing margins. It is also timely given potential new data center construction moratoriums as it allows a data center to maximize power on already approved sites."

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" which may describe strategies, goals, outlooks or other non-historical matters, or projected revenues, income, returns or other financial measures, that may include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "should," "could," "likely," or "may" and similar expressions intended to identify 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.
