DERBY, UK, November 14, 2023 -- 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 third quarter net profits of $169,332 and net profits for the nine months ending 30 September 2023 of $388,620. Not only is this the third back-to-back quarter in which the Company has reported a profit, but it is also significant that the profitability reported for the current period occurred in the quarter that most typically has lower energy generation due to higher seasonal temperatures. Overall, the Company’s profitability continues to be driven by higher revenues set against improved gross margin.

The third quarter saw revenues increase by 25.7%, from $1,238,092 in 2022 to $1,556,585 in the same period this year. For the first nine months of this year revenue grew to $5,387,715 from $4,139,122 in the same period last year, an increase of 30.2%. Gross margin also increased, from 26.9% in the third quarter of 2022 to 33.6% in the same quarter this year and from 29.8% in the first nine months of 2022 to 31.9% in the first nine months of 2023.

At a UK operating level, the Company’s profitable position also continued with net profits for the third quarter increasing 616% to £164,282 and for the nine months ending 30 September 2023 by 245% to £499,550.

“I am delighted that we are continuing to deliver profitability this year” said Dr Elias Samaras, Chief Executive Officer “Our goal was to deliver profits at the consolidated level this year, and we are now well on the way to achieving this.” he added.  “Elsewhere we are also making good progress on launching our new Solar On-Site Utility Solution and so I look forward to 2024 with some optimism.”

Commenting on the quarter’s results, Paul Hamblyn, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of the UK operating company said “The third quarter is normally a difficult period for the Company as the summer weather normally reduces energy demand, however, this year the UK’s summer wasn’t so good and so demand grew. As this began to happen, we moved quickly to reschedule maintenance, and so we saw both enhanced generation and higher revenues for the quarter.”

Once completed the proceeds of the sale of Annova will be returned to the UK operating company.  

Outlook and risks

• Retail electricity and gas prices continue to remain high by historic standards in the UK market and so the Company continues to benefit from these high prices. Management considers that little will change in the short to medium term. In addition, long-term projections indicate prices are unlikely to reduce dramatically, although this and other energy price risks remain because of both the ongoing Ukraine war and conflict in the Middle East.
• Inflation continues to impact both labor and material costs with continuing increases being seen across the supply chain. Management continue to work with suppliers to minimise these impacts
• The interest rate environment has restricted the availability and price of project funding although Management hope that their ongoing talks with new funding partners may ease this position in months to come.
• Parts shortages persist and so continue to extend downtime in the event of a unit failure. This continues to be a particular problem for those sites equipped with Tecogen product.
• Overall, the Company continues to report that the outlook for 2023 appears good with increased revenue and gross profits.
• Other risks remain in the form of the impact of reducing grid electricity carbon emissions on future sales, a shift in policy or regulation from the government relating to energy, unexpected equipment failures, economic and geopolitical issues.
