Energy Recovery (Nasdaq: ERII) announced its financial results for Q3 2024, with revenue reaching $38.6 million, at the upper end of its $35-39 million guidance. The gross margin was 65.1%, a decrease of 480 basis points compared to Q3 2023, due to higher manufacturing and product mix costs. Operating expenses rose by 7.8% to $18.1 million, primarily from increased consulting and employee costs. Consequently, income from operations fell by 22.7% to $7.1 million. Net income was $8.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA stood at $11.6 million. The company holds $139.9 million in cash and investments. CEO David Moon highlighted the company's progress in desalination, wastewater, and CO2 refrigeration businesses, along with a new five-year growth plan to be detailed in a webinar on November 18, 2024.

Energy Recovery (Nasdaq: ERII) ha annunciato i risultati finanziari per il terzo trimestre del 2024, con un fatturato che ha raggiunto i 38,6 milioni di dollari, al limite superiore delle previsioni di 35-39 milioni di dollari. Il margine lordo è stato del 65,1%, con una diminuzione di 480 punti base rispetto al terzo trimestre del 2023, a causa di costi più elevati di produzione e mix di prodotti. Le spese operative sono aumentate del 7,8%, raggiungendo i 18,1 milioni di dollari, principalmente a causa dell'aumento dei costi di consulenza e del personale. Di conseguenza, l'utile operativo è diminuito del 22,7%, scendendo a 7,1 milioni di dollari. L'utile netto è stato di 8,5 milioni di dollari, e l'EBITDA rettificato si è attestato a 11,6 milioni di dollari. L'azienda detiene 139,9 milioni di dollari in cassa e investimenti.

에너지 리커버리(Nasdaq: ERII)는 2024년 3분기 재무 결과를 발표했으며, 매출은 3,860만 달러에 달하여 가이던스인 3,500만 달러에서 3,900만 달러의 상단에 도달했습니다. 총 이익률은 65.1%로, 2023년 3분기와 비교하여 480베이시스 포인트 감소했으며, 이는 더 높은 제조 및 제품 혼합 비용 때문입니다. 운영 비용은 7.8% 증가하여 1,810만 달러에 달하며, 주로 컨설팅 및 인건비 증가로 인한 것입니다. 결과적으로, 영업이익은 22.7% 감소하여 710만 달러에 달했습니다. 순이익은 850만 달러였으며, 조정 EBITDA는 1,160만 달러로 집계되었습니다. 회사는 현금 및 투자로 1억 3,990만 달러를 보유하고 있습니다. CEO 데이비드 문은 담수화, 폐수 및 CO2 냉각 사업에서의 회사의 진전을 강조하며, 2024년 11월 18일 웨비나에서 자세히 설명될 5개년 성장 계획을 언급했습니다.

Energy Recovery (Nasdaq: ERII) a annoncé ses résultats financiers pour le troisième trimestre 2024, avec un chiffre d'affaires atteignant 38,6 millions de dollars, au haut de sa fourchette de prévisions de 35 à 39 millions de dollars. La marge brute était de 65,1%, une baisse de 480 points de base par rapport au troisième trimestre 2023, en raison de coûts plus élevés de fabrication et de mix de produits. Les frais d'exploitation ont augmenté de 7,8% pour atteindre 18,1 millions de dollars, principalement en raison de l'augmentation des coûts de conseil et de personnel. Par conséquent, le résultat d'exploitation a chuté de 22,7% pour s'établir à 7,1 millions de dollars. Le bénéfice net était de 8,5 millions de dollars, et l'EBITDA ajusté s'élevait à 11,6 millions de dollars. L'entreprise détient 139,9 millions de dollars en liquidités et en investissements.

Energy Recovery (Nasdaq: ERII) hat seine finanziellen Ergebnisse für das 3. Quartal 2024 bekannt gegeben, wobei die Umsätze 38,6 Millionen US-Dollar erreichten, am oberen Ende der Prognose von 35-39 Millionen US-Dollar. Die Bruttomarge betrug 65,1%, was einem Rückgang von 480 Basispunkten im Vergleich zum 3. Quartal 2023 entspricht, bedingt durch höhere Produktions- und Produktmixkosten. Die Betriebskosten stiegen um 7,8% auf 18,1 Millionen US-Dollar, hauptsächlich aufgrund von höheren Beratungs- und Personalkosten. Infolgedessen sank der Betriebsgewinn um 22,7% auf 7,1 Millionen US-Dollar. Der Nettoertrag betrug 8,5 Millionen US-Dollar, und das bereinigte EBITDA belief sich auf 11,6 Millionen US-Dollar. Das Unternehmen hält 139,9 Millionen US-Dollar in Bar und Investitionen. CEO David Moon hob die Fortschritte des Unternehmens in den Bereichen Meerwasserentsalzung, Abwasser und CO2-Kühlung hervor sowie einen neuen fünfjährigen Wachstumsplan, der am 18. November 2024 in einem Webinar detailliert vorgestellt wird.

Positive
  • Revenue of $38.6 million, reaching the upper end of guidance.
  • Net income of $8.5 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $11.6 million.
  • Cash and investments totaling $139.9 million.
Negative
  • Gross margin decreased by 480 basis points to 65.1%.
  • Operating expenses increased by 7.8% to $18.1 million.
  • Income from operations decreased by 22.7% to $7.1 million.
  • Net income decreased by 12% to $8.5 million.

Insights

Energy Recovery's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance. $38.6M revenue reached the upper end of guidance, but profitability metrics declined year-over-year. The 65.1% gross margin dropped 4.8% due to higher manufacturing and product mix costs. Operating expenses increased 7.8% to $18.1M, impacting operating income which fell 22.7%.

Key concerns include declining margins and operating efficiency. However, positive signals emerge from:

  • Strong cash position of $139.9M
  • Growth in core desalination business
  • Expansion in wastewater segment
  • Progress in CO2 refrigeration business with PX G1300 validation

The upcoming five-year growth strategy presentation on November 18 will be important for understanding future value creation potential across all three business segments.

The market's focus should be on Energy Recovery's strategic diversification beyond its core desalination business. While quarterly financials show some pressure points, the company's expansion into wastewater and CO2 refrigeration markets represents significant growth potential. The third-party validation of PX G1300 technology through white paper results is particularly noteworthy, as it could accelerate OEM adoption in the commercial refrigeration sector.

The upcoming strategic Playbook presentation could be a catalyst for market sentiment, especially if management provides concrete growth targets and implementation timelines. Current $139.9M cash position provides ample runway for executing growth initiatives across all three business segments.

SAN LEANDRO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Energy Recovery, Inc. (Nasdaq:ERII) (“Energy Recovery” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Revenue of $38.6 million, reaching the upper end of our guidance of $35 - $39 million.
  • Gross margin of 65.1%, a decrease of 480 bps, as compared to Q3’2023, due primarily to higher manufacturing costs and higher costs related to product mix.
  • Operating expenses of $18.1 million, an increase of 7.8%, as compared to Q3’2023, due primarily to higher consulting costs related to enhancement of our corporate growth strategy and higher employee costs.
  • Income from operations of $7.1 million, a decrease of 22.7%, as compared to Q3’2023, mainly due to higher operating expenses and lower gross margin.
  • Net income of $8.5 million and adjusted EBITDA(1) of $11.6 million.
  • Cash and investments of $139.9 million, which include cash, cash equivalents, and short- and long-term investments.

David Moon, President and CEO, commented on the financial results, “We delivered strong third quarter results, hitting the upper end of our guidance for the quarter and, although there is still work to be done, we believe we are well-positioned in this quarter to deliver on our guidance for the full year. Our core desalination business continues to demonstrate durability of growth, our wastewater business continues to expand, and we are making real progress this year in our CO2 refrigeration business.”

Mr. Moon continued, “With our PX G1300 summer data collection complete, we just issued a white paper with the measurement and verification results, provided by a third party engineering firm, that we believe will be an important next step to getting the PX G1300 integrated into OEM systems designs and ultimately specified by supermarkets. Finally, we concluded our strategic work on what I have termed our Playbook. This Playbook outlines our five-year plan to grow all three of Energy Recovery’s businesses. It is an ambitious and I believe achievable blueprint for growth that I, along with Mike Mancini, CFO, and our business unit leads, are excited to lay out next month on a live investor webinar we are hosting on November 18, 2024.”

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this press release and on the conference call are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the belief that the Company is well-positioned in the fourth quarter to deliver on our guidance for the full year, the belief that the Company is making real progress this year in its CO2 refrigeration business, the belief that the Company’s recently published white paper is an important next step to getting the PX G1300 integrated into original equipment manufacturers’ systems designs and ultimately specified by supermarkets, and the belief that the Company’s Playbook is an achievable blueprint for growth. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Company and on management’s beliefs, assumptions, estimates, or projections and are not guarantees of future events or results. Potential risks and uncertainties include risks relating to the future demand for the Company’s products, risks relating to performance by our customers and third-party partners, risks relating to the timing of revenue, and any other factors that may have been discussed herein regarding the risks and uncertainties of the Company’s business, and the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as other reports filed by the Company with the SEC from time to time. Because such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from the predictions in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of today, and the Company assumes no obligation to update such statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

Notes to the Financial Results

  • Adjusted operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as income (loss) from operations which excludes i) share-based compensation; and ii) executive transition costs, such as executive search costs, retention costs, one-time severance costs and one-time corporate growth strategy costs, divided by revenues.
  • Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income which excludes i) share-based compensation; ii) executive transition costs; and iii) the applicable tax effect of the excluded items including the share-based compensation discrete tax item.
  • Adjusted net income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss), which excludes i) share-based compensation; ii) executive transition costs and iii) the applicable tax effect of the excluded items including the share-based compensation discrete tax item, divided by basic shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) which excludes i) depreciation and amortization; ii) share-based compensation; iii) executive transition costs; iv) other income, net, such as interest income and other non-operating income (expense), net; and v) provision for (benefit from) income taxes.
  • Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.
