WARRENVILLE, Ill., August 9, 2016 - Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a world leader in advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems and emissions control in utility and industrial applications, today reported financial results for the second quarter ("Q2") ended June 30, 2016.
Q2 2016 Results Overview
Consolidated revenues for Q2 2016 were $15.2 million as compared to $18.7 million in Q2 2015, reflecting slower business activity within our Air Pollution Control ("APC") technology segment, as well as lower revenues at FUEL CHEM®.
Operating loss for Q2 2016 was $2.3 million as compared to an operating loss of $2.2 million in Q2 2015. Net loss for Q2 2016 was $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
APC segment revenues in Q2 2016 declined by 9.5% to $10.0 million from $11.1 million in Q2 2015.
APC gross profit decreased to $2.9 million from $3.3 million in Q2 2016. Gross margin for Q2 2016 declined to 28.7% of segment revenues from 29.9% in Q2 2015, primarily due to declines in margins on certain projects in China and Italy.
FUEL CHEM segment revenues declined to $5.1 million during Q2 2016 from $7.6 million during Q2 2015. This segment will likely continue to be affected by a reduction in electricity demand from coal-fired combustion units and low natural gas prices, which leads to fuel switching, unscheduled outages, and combustion units operating at less than capacity. Further, the mild weather conditions in the U.S. during Q2 2016 resulted in soft demand. Despite lower revenues, gross margin during Q2 2016 rose to 52.5% from 50.3% in Q2 2015.
The Fuel Conversion segment generated an operating loss of $0.8 million in Q2 2016, reflecting the Company's continuing investment in developing this potential new business.
Capital projects backlog in the APC segment stood at $11.6 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $22.2 million at December 31, 2015, reflecting a slower pace of U.S. bookings in Q2 2016. During Q2 2016, Fuel Tech announced new project awards covering multiple geographies and solutions with an aggregate value of $4.8 million, as well as an exclusive agreement under which Fuel Tech has licensed its Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) technology to ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd. (ISGEC). Subsequent to the end of Q2 2016, the Company announced new project awards totaling $2.3 million, which included the first order generated under the contract with ISGEC. The Company believes that APC revenues in 2016 will approximate the same level as 2015.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for Q2 2016 declined 20% to $6.8 million, or 44.5% of revenues, from $8.4 million, or 45.0% of revenues, in Q2 2015, reflecting the favorable impact of previously announced cost cutting initiatives on employee-related costs, professional and consulting fees, and travel expenses. These reductions were offset by higher administrative costs associated with our foreign operations.
Fuel Tech's research and development expenses for Q2 2016 increased to $1.1 million from $1.0 million in Q2 2015, with increased spending primarily related to ongoing projects associated with the Fuel Conversion development initiative.
Year-to-Date Results Overview
Consolidated year-to-date revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $33.0 million as compared to $33.8 million in 2015, due primarily to the reasons cited above.
Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $4.9 million as compared to an operating loss of $4.7 million in 2015. Net loss was $5.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the same period last year.
Year-to-date APC segment revenues increased to $23.0 million from $17.9 million in the comparable prior year period due to the timing of project bookings.
APC gross profit increased to $6.6 million, or 28.5% of segment revenues, in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $5.9 million, or 32.6% of segment revenues in the same period last year.
FUEL CHEM generated revenues of $10.0 million during the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, down from revenues of $15.8 million in the same prior year period, primarily for the reasons cited above. The gross margins during 2016 and 2015 were 50.9% and 50.2%, respectively.
SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $14.2 million and $16.6 million, respectively. On a total dollar basis, SG&A for the year-to-date period decreased by $2.4 million, or 14.2%, for the same reasons as Q2 2016.
Fuel Tech's research and development expenses for the year-to-date period increased to $2.3 million from the comparable prior year amount of $1.9 million. The increased spending levels are primarily related to ongoing projects associated with our Fuel Conversion business development initiative.
Vincent J. Arnone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fuel Tech, commented, “We recognize that we must continue to evolve and refine Fuel Tech’s operating strategy in response to still-challenging end markets served by our APC and FUEL CHEM business segments. We are focusing on developing new technologies and relationships that allow us to grow in existing and adjacent markets, expand our solutions portfolio, diversify our revenue streams, and elevate our profile among potential customers.
“In that regard, we were very pleased to announce our exclusive licensing agreement with ISGEC, one of India’s leading engineering companies, as well the first order generated as a result of this partnership. Agreements like this are an ideal way to expand Fuel Tech’s global reach in a cost-effective manner. We are also pursuing potential in-licensing opportunities, where we can leverage Fuel Tech’s existing global sales channels to bring relevant and exciting products to market. We are pleased with the progress being made at our new Fuel Conversion business segment. As we advance through 2016, our attention is on commercial development and expansion. Product engineering and enhancement continue as part of a collaborative effort with potential end users. We are also evaluating various build-out strategies and potential manufacturing scenarios, including pursuing ways to accelerate market introduction while minimizing associated capital requirements. This process remains quite fluid, however we are encouraged by our progress to date.”
Mr. Arnone concluded, “We also continue to align our cost structure with the current market environment, and are on plan to realize annual corporate cost savings of approximately $5 million. Our financial position is strong. At June 30, 2016, we reported total cash and cash equivalents of $19.4 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, and no long-term debt.”

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 and stock compensation expense. 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.
