Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), the public successor to Capstone Green Energy Corporation, announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the second quarter of fiscal year 2025). The Company continues to focus on driving initiatives on financial health and sustainable excellence along with culture and talent, which is intended to create results that drive strong financial performance.

Revenue for the second quarter and year to date of fiscal year 2025 was $22.7 million and $38.4 million, respectively. This compares to fiscal year 2024 revenue for the second quarter and year to date of $28.4 million and $52.3 million, respectively. Revenue continues to be impacted by the effects of restructuring activities completed in fiscal 2024.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded a significant product sale with an international customer adding $2.9 million in revenue that added 2.2% to gross margin for the quarter and increased the year-to-date gross margin by 1.5% for fiscal year 2025.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights:

  • Gross Profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $7.0 million with a margin of 31% compared to gross profit of $5.3 million and a margin of 19% in the prior year. The improvement of $1.7 million over the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was driven by significant product sales and improved margins for the Parts, Services, and Rentals business activity.
  • The Net Loss was $0.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and was an improvement of $5.5 million over the same period of the prior fiscal year (net loss of $5.9 million), representing a 93% improvement.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 improved to $3.8 million from $1.8 million in the second quarter of last year, primarily due to improved gross margin and lower operating expenses.
  • Total cash as of September 30, 2024, was $2.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million from March 31, 2024.

Second Quarter Year-to-Date Fiscal 2025 Highlights:

  • Gross Profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 YTD was $10.8 million with a margin of 28% compared to gross profit of $8.7 million and a margin of 17% in prior year. The increase of $2.1 million over the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 YTD was driven by the impact of the significant product sale increases and the improved profitability from the Parts, Services, and Rentals business.
  • Net loss was $4.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 YTD, compared to a net loss of $11.6 million for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year YTD, resulting from improved gross profit, lower total operating expenses and interest costs.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 YTD improved significantly to $4.6 million from $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 YTD.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.9 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2025, a $10.3 million improvement from the same six months of fiscal 2024, which recorded cash used in operating activities of $9.4 million. This positive change was mainly a result of the reduced Net Loss.
  • The Company continues to remain compliant with its financial covenants.

"We are pleased with the Company's second-quarter results for fiscal 2025, which reflect the improvements in gross profit and margin that were driven from our corporate initiatives focused on financial and commercial discipline," said John Juric, Chief Financial Officer of Capstone. "Additionally, we have begun the application process to have our common stock traded on an over-the-counter market. This process typically takes a couple of months, and we sincerely appreciate the continued patience and support of our stakeholders throughout this period."

"The results from Q2 fiscal 2025 are exciting, and we have more opportunity to further drive the operational, financial, commercial, and business disciplines in our business. We continue to drive sustainable excellence in all we do with a sense of urgency. Having the courage to dare greatly whilst realizing that the little things matter in order to achieve extraordinary results. These very efforts will position us to deliver solid performance even in the face of changing business dynamics," said Vince Canino, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone.

To supplement the Company's unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the Company's financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company's economic performance year-over-year.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before stock-based compensation, restructuring, financing, shareholder litigation, non-recurring legal, restatement, ongoing SEC investigation expenses, and reorganization items. Restructuring expenses relate to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and financing expense relates to the evaluation and negotiation of debt. Shareholder litigation expense resulted from the restatement of the Company's financials and non-recurring legal expenses are one-time non-recurring legal fees. Restatement and SEC investigation expenses are professional fees related to the restatement of the Company's prior year financials and the ongoing investigation being conducted by the SEC. Reorganization items represent adjustments occurring during the bankruptcy period.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the company's liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.

While management believes that the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the methods of calculation. The Company's non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
