Thermal Energy International reported record revenue of $8.7 million in Q2 2025, representing a 22% increase compared to Q2 2024. The company's turn-key heat recovery business drove this growth, marking the second consecutive quarter of all-time high quarterly revenue.

Despite revenue growth, profitability decreased due to product mix changes and increased investments in business growth. EBITDA was $0.3 million with net income of $28 thousand. The company's cash position stood at $2.8 million with working capital of $3.7 million at quarter end.

Order intake for Q2 was $7.3 million, with the order backlog reaching $12.9 million as of November 30, 2024, and increasing to $17.9 million by January 27, 2025. The company has invested in growth initiatives including a new UK production facility, 18 new staff, a new ERP system, and the CREST mobile project identification app, adding approximately $2.3 million to annual costs.

Thermal Energy International ha riportato ricavi record di $8.7 milioni nel secondo trimestre del 2025, con un aumento del 22% rispetto al secondo trimestre del 2024. Il business della recupero di calore chiavi in mano dell'azienda ha guidato questa crescita, segnando il secondo trimestre consecutivo con ricavi trimestrali record.

Nonostante la crescita dei ricavi, la redditività è diminuita a causa dei cambiamenti nel mix di prodotti e degli investimenti crescenti nella crescita aziendale. L'EBITDA è stato di $0.3 milioni con un utile netto di $28.000. La posizione di cassa dell'azienda si è attestata a $2.8 milioni con un capitale circolante di $3.7 milioni alla fine del trimestre.

Gli ordini acquisiti per il secondo trimestre sono stati di $7.3 milioni, con l'ammontare degli ordini in sospeso che ha raggiunto $12.9 milioni al 30 novembre 2024, aumentando a $17.9 milioni entro il 27 gennaio 2025. L'azienda ha investito in iniziative di crescita, tra cui una nuova struttura produttiva nel Regno Unito, 18 nuovi membri dello staff, un nuovo sistema ERP e l'app per l'identificazione dei progetti mobili CREST, aggiungendo circa $2.3 milioni ai costi annuali.

Thermal Energy International reportó ingresos récord de $8.7 millones en el segundo trimestre de 2025, lo que representa un aumento del 22% en comparación con el segundo trimestre de 2024. El negocio de recuperación de calor llave en mano de la empresa impulsó este crecimiento, marcando el segundo trimestre consecutivo de ingresos trimestrales históricos.

A pesar del crecimiento de los ingresos, la rentabilidad disminuyó debido a cambios en la mezcla de productos e inversiones crecientes en el crecimiento del negocio. El EBITDA fue de $0.3 millones con un ingreso neto de $28,000. La posición de efectivo de la compañía se situó en $2.8 millones con un capital de trabajo de $3.7 millones al final del trimestre.

La recepción de pedidos para el segundo trimestre fue de $7.3 millones, con el backlog de pedidos alcanzando $12.9 millones al 30 de noviembre de 2024, y aumentando a $17.9 millones para el 27 de enero de 2025. La compañía ha invertido en iniciativas de crecimiento que incluyen una nueva planta de producción en el Reino Unido, 18 nuevos empleados, un nuevo sistema ERP y la aplicación móvil de identificación de proyectos CREST, añadiendo aproximadamente $2.3 millones a los costos anuales.

Thermal Energy International는 2025년 2분기에 $8.7백만의 기록적인 수익을 보고했으며, 이는 2024년 2분기 대비 22% 증가한 수치입니다. 회사의 턴키 열 회수 사업이 이 성장을 이끌었으며, 이는 사상 최고의 분기 수익을 기록한 두 번째 연속 분기입니다.

수익 증가에도 불구하고, 제품 믹스의 변화와 사업 성장에 대한 투자 증가로 인해 수익성이 감소했습니다. EBITDA는 $0.3백만이며, 순이익은 $28,000였습니다. 분기 말 회사의 현금 보유고는 $2.8백만, 운영 자본은 $3.7백만이었습니다.

2분기 동안의 주문 수치는 $7.3백만이었으며, 주문 잔고는 2024년 11월 30일 기준으로 $12.9백만에 달했고, 2025년 1월 27일에는 $17.9백만으로 증가했습니다. 회사는 영국의 새로운 생산 시설, 18명의 새로운 직원, 새로운 ERP 시스템, CREST 모바일 프로젝트 식별 앱 등 성장 이니셔티브에 투자했으며, 연간 비용에 약 $2.3백만이 추가되었습니다.

Thermal Energy International a annoncé des revenus records de $8,7 millions au deuxième trimestre 2025, représentant une augmentation de 22 % par rapport au deuxième trimestre 2024. L'activité de récupération de chaleur clé en main de l'entreprise a stimulé cette croissance, marquant le deuxième trimestre consécutif de revenus trimestriels historiques.

Malgré la croissance des revenus, la rentabilité a diminué en raison de changements dans le mix de produits et d'investissements accrus dans la croissance de l'entreprise. L'EBITDA était de $0,3 million avec un revenu net de $28 000. La position de trésorerie de l'entreprise s'élevait à $2,8 millions avec un fonds de roulement de $3,7 millions à la fin du trimestre.

Les commandes pour le deuxième trimestre s'élevaient à $7,3 millions, avec un carnet de commandes atteignant $12,9 millions au 30 novembre 2024, et augmentant à $17,9 millions d'ici le 27 janvier 2025. L'entreprise a investi dans des initiatives de croissance, y compris une nouvelle usine de production au Royaume-Uni, 18 nouveaux employés, un nouveau système ERP et l'application mobile d'identification des projets CREST, ajoutant environ $2,3 millions aux coûts annuels.

Thermal Energy International meldete Rekordumsätze von $8.7 Millionen im zweiten Quartal 2025, was einem Anstieg von 22% im Vergleich zum zweiten Quartal 2024 entspricht. Das schlüsselfertige Geschäft zur Wärmegewinnung des Unternehmens trieb dieses Wachstum voran und markierte das zweite aufeinanderfolgende Quartal mit einem Rekordumsatz.

Trotz des Umsatzwachstums sank die Rentabilität aufgrund von Änderungen im Produktmix und erhöhten Investitionen in das Unternehmenswachstum. Das EBITDA betrug $0.3 Millionen mit einem Nettogewinn von $28.000. Die liquide Mittel des Unternehmens beliefen sich auf $2.8 Millionen, mit einem Working Capital von $3.7 Millionen zum Quartalsende.

Die Auftragseingänge für das zweite Quartal betrugen $7.3 Millionen, wobei der Auftragsbestand am 30. November 2024 $12.9 Millionen erreichte und bis zum 27. Januar 2025 auf $17.9 Millionen anstieg. Das Unternehmen hat in Wachstumsinitiativen investiert, darunter eine neue Produktionsstätte im Vereinigten Königreich, 18 neue Mitarbeiter, ein neues ERP-System und die CREST-App zur Identifizierung mobiler Projekte, was jährlich etwa $2.3 Millionen zu den Kosten hinzufügte.

Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 28, 2025) - Thermal Energy International Inc. (TSXV: TMG) (OTCQB: TMGEF) ("Thermal Energy" or the "Company"), a provider of innovative energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction solutions to major corporations around the world, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended November 30, 2024. All figures are in Canadian dollars.

Q2 2025 Highlights:
(Compared to Q2 2024)

  • Revenue increased 22% to a record $8.7 million

  • EBITDAi of $0.3 million and net income of $28 thousand were lower due to product mix and increased expenses due to investments made in the future growth of the business

  • Cash position of $2.8 million was lower due to temporary fluctuations in working capital items

  • Order backlogii was $12.9 million as at November 30, 2024, and $17.9 million as at January 27, 2025

Overview

"Our turn-key heat recovery business drove record high revenue for both the quarter and the trailing twelve months ("TTM") ended November 30, 2024," said William Crossland, Thermal Energy CEO. "This was the second consecutive quarter that we reached a new all-time high for quarterly and TTM revenue. While we remained profitable, the change in product mix, together with the significant investments we have been making to grow the business, reduced our profitability."

"Over the last two years, we have invested heavily in the future growth of the business. These investments include a new, much larger UK production facility, 18 new staff, a new accounting and ERP system, and the development of our custom mobile project identification app ("CREST"), which we launched this quarter. These investments have added about $2.3 million to annual costs but, as expected, we have yet to see most of the corresponding benefits. Although our order intake for the second quarter was lower than a year ago, it marked a sharp increase compared to the first quarter, and we received a further $5.0 million in orders subsequent to quarter end, increasing our order backlog to $17.9 million as of January 27, 2025. Given the relative size of our typical heat recovery turn-key projects, order intake has always been lumpy but our pipeline and the value of projects in paid development with customers remains as strong as ever."

"Finally, we are proud of our continued ability to strengthen our balance sheet with cash flow from operations. Cash at quarter end was impacted by temporary changes in working capital items but cash flow from operating activities (excluding changes in working capital items) remained positive and over the last two years we have reduced debt by $1.8 million and increased working capital by $1.9 million from internally generated cash flow."

Financial Review for the Second Quarter Ended November 30, 2024

Second quarter revenue grew 22% year-over-year to a record $8.7 million mainly due to increased sales from turn-key heat recovery projects, partially offset by decreased sales from GEM traps. Gross profit for the quarter decreased by 18% to $2.9 million, mainly due to change in product mix.

Operating expenses were $139 thousand lower than the same quarter a year earlier, mainly due to an increase in foreign exchange gains. R&D expense increased by $107 thousand due to higher R&D activities conducted in the quarter.

The Company had EBITDA of $270 thousand and net income of $28 thousand, compared to $830 thousand and $486 thousand respectively in the second quarter a year earlier.

At the end of November, cash and working capital balances were approximately $2.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Financial Review for the Six Months Ended November 30, 2024

For the six months ended November 30, 2024, revenue was $17.1 million, up about 40% year-over-year, with the higher revenues from Turn-Key Heat Recovery projects being partially offset by lower revenues from GEM traps. Gross profit increased 2% to $6.4 million compared to $6.3 million in the same period a year ago.

Operating expenses amounted to $5.7 million, up $0.5 million compared to same period a year ago. The variance included an additional $580 thousand related to the growth in headcount, increased travelling and business development costs, and inflation-related increases to regular operating costs and salaries. The increase was partially offset by the change in foreign exchange gains by $117 thousand.

R&D expense increased by $155 thousand compared to prior year due to a higher amount of R&D activities engaged.

The Company achieved EBITDA of $0.8 million and net income of $337 thousand for the six months ended November 30, 2024.

Business Outlook and Order Summary

Orders received ("Order Intake") during the second quarter totalled $7.3 million. The Company ended the quarter with an order backlog of $12.9 million, down 26% from the $17.5 million at the end of the same quarter in the prior year.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, some of which are outside of the Company's control, could cause events and results to differ materially from those stated.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company believes the following non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to better understand the financial performance and financial position of the Company.

EBITDA

Management believes that EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortization, impairment of intangible assets, and share-based compensation expense) is a useful performance measure as it approximates cash generated from operations, before tax, capital expenditures and changes in working capital, and excludes impairment of intangible assets. EBITDA also assists comparison among companies as it eliminates the differences in earnings due to how a company is financed. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no direct comparable IFRS measure for EBITDA.

A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is shown below.

Order Backlog

Order backlog is a useful performance measure that Management uses as an indicator of the short-term future revenue of our Company resulting from already recognized orders. The Company includes in "order backlog" any purchase orders that have been received by the Company but have not yet been reflected as revenue in the Company's published financial statements. It is important to note that once an order or partial order is recorded as revenue, the order backlog is reduced by the amount of the newly reported revenue. Order backlog does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

For additional details on non-IFRS financial measures, please refer to the Company's most recent Management's Discussion and Analysis available at www.sedarplus.ca for more details about these non-IFRS financial measures.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
