HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES INC /NY Q1 FY26 Results

”Our first quarter was one of operational and strategic progress, highlighted by enhancements to our management team, critical partnership development and our increased focus on operational excellence as we move into the core of our selling season. “First quarter revenue growth of 9% was driven by increased sales volume and slightly higher HFC pricing. Gross margin of 20% declined slightly due to the mix of refrigerants sold in the first quarter this year compared to the first quarter last year and we expect gross margin to increase as we progress through the selling season. “We recently announced several changes and appointments to further expand and strengthen our management team including additions to our marketing team and the appointment of two new members to our board of directors. These management-led changes align with our strategic priorities of delivering operational excellence, building our marketing team, and expanding the skill set represented on our board of directors as we explore strategic growth opportunities. “As we previously communicated, our new ERP system launched during the quarter. While we experienced some typical implementation inefficiencies and headwinds, overall, I am pleased to report that the ERP implementation process is going better than we anticipated and we are beginning to see benefits to our management information systems. “Also, during the quarter, we signed an important licensing agreement with Solstice Advanced Materials for the reclamation and resale of certain patented HFO refrigerants. As the market transitions from legacy HFC to lower GWP next generation HFO refrigerants, this agreement gives us a meaningful opportunity to reclaim and sell replacement refrigerants frequently used in the supermarket sector, among others, creating enhanced growth opportunities for our service business. HFC refrigerants will remain essential to servicing existing equipment through its useful life and will continue as an important component of our business while HFOs continue to grow. “We started the year with a focus on organizing our teams for growth and working through our ERP transition. As we enter the core of the 2026 selling season, we remain focused on meeting the needs of our customer base with our extensive portfolio of refrigerants while driving continuous operational excellence across our organization. We are uniquely positioned to grow our leadership role in the industry as we leverage our sales, service, recovery and reclamation capabilities to capitalize on the refrigerant industry’s continuous transition to lower GWP equipment and refrigerants,”
