MACCLESFIELD, UK, August 14, 2018 -- EuroSite Power Inc. (OTCPK: EUSP, the "Company") an On-Site Utility solutions provider, offering clean electricity, heat, hot water and cooling solutions to healthcare, hospitality, housing and leisure centers in the United Kingdom (UK) and Europe, reported second quarter revenues increased 20% to $ 952,418 compared to $ 793,658 for the second quarter 2017. Adjusted Non-GAAP EBITDA for the period ending June 30, 2018 was a positive $ 10,973. Gross Profit for the second quarter 2018 increased by 30.7% to $ 244,474 when compared to $ 187,012 for the same period in 2017.  Significantly the Company’s UK subsidiary has delivered positive EBITDA each month of 2018. Recent investment into its joint venture operation, Blue Grid Gas & Power has resulted in its first contract being secured to provide a fully-funded 350kW Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) solution for the Genesis Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece. This is the first project secured by the Company outside of the United Kingdom.

Speaking about the quarter’s results Dr. Elias Samaras, Chief Executive Officer said “Growth continues in terms of both revenue and gross profit. Importantly the Company has also turned an important corner by becoming consistently cash positive, of course profitability remains the aim for the year”. Commenting further on the Company’s strategic objectives Dr. Samaras continued, “Fundamentally we have a good business, a strong team of people to work with and a strong Board and shareholders group which needs to be bold in looking for and grabbing larger opportunities than it has traditionally looked for. Management has now turned its focus on achieving organic growth both within the UK and across Europe and I believe we are now getting into a new era. We no longer limit ourselves to CHP installations and OSU projects. We will focus on a wider spectrum, such as Energy and Asset Management, Energy Efficiency Services and the use of modern Information Technology methods, such as AI and smart monitoring to deliver deep value to our customers”.

Discussing the quarter’s results UK Managing Director, Paul Hamblyn said “While our OSU fleet continues to see continued growth in terms of both revenue and gross profit, new turnkey sales have been delayed although specific opportunities haven’t been lost. Additional losses incurred by one project also dragged down performance in the quarter. That’s said, Gross Margin excluding depreciation for the OSU fleet grew from 43.5% to 45.2% and performance of both TEDOM and Tecogen units has outperformed expectations, especially given the unseasonably hot weather experienced during May and June”. Mr Hamblyn added, “Importantly our sales pipeline has improved as new business development initiatives have started to take affect and the outlook for our order book looks strong”.
