Hudson Technologies Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026
-
Q1 2026 revenue grew 9% year-over-year to $60.2 million, driven by strong sales and firming HFC prices, despite gross margin pressure from sales mix and higher SG&A. Management restructuring, ERP implementation, and new board members position the company for long-term growth.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Revenue grew 4% to $246.6M in 2025, with Q4 up 28% year-over-year. Gross margin declined to 25.2% due to inventory and severance costs. Strategic acquisitions, inventory investment, and sustainability initiatives position the company for continued growth in 2026.
-
Third quarter saw 20% revenue growth and a 59% increase in net income, driven by higher sales volume and pricing. Renewed a $210M DLA contract, maintained a strong cash position, and expect stable margins for 2025 despite ongoing market and regulatory volatility.
-
Q2 revenue declined 3% year-over-year to $72.8 million, but gross margin improved to 31% on higher refrigerant prices. Strong late-quarter demand and ongoing regulatory phase-downs support a positive outlook, with a mid-20% gross margin target for 2025.
-
Q1 2025 saw a 15% revenue decline to $55.3M due to a 40% drop in refrigerant prices, though sales volume and reclaim activity increased. Gross margin fell to 22%, but cash remains strong at $81M with no debt, and share repurchases continued.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Revenue and margins declined in 2024 due to lower refrigerant prices and reduced DLA contract revenue, but the company maintained a strong cash position, increased reclamation activity, and executed strategic initiatives including an acquisition and share repurchases.
-
Q3 2024 revenue fell 19% year-over-year due to lower refrigerant prices and DLA contract revenue, with gross margin dropping to 26%. Despite near-term pricing pressure, long-term growth is expected as HFC phase-out and regulatory mandates drive future demand for reclaimed refrigerants.
-
Q2 2024 saw a 17% increase in refrigerant sales volume but a 17% revenue decline due to pricing pressure, with gross margin dropping to 30%. The USA Refrigerants acquisition and a $10M share buyback are expected to drive future growth and margin improvement.
