Hudson Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) previously reported, via press release furnished as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed on August 8, 2018, that the Company is currently operating under a waiver and amendment to its term loan credit and security agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as agent, and the term loan lenders (“Term Loan”). The waiver runs through August 14, 2018, and discussions are continuing with respect to an amendment of the Term Loan’s existing total leverage ratio financial covenant and certain other terms, which the Company expects to complete on or before August 14, 2018. As a result of the potential balance sheet impact of foregoing discussions, the Company will not be in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 (the “10-Q”) on a timely basis. The Company is working diligently to resolve these matters and management currently believes that the Company will be in a position to file the aforementioned 10-Q not later than August 14, 2018.

Revenues for the 2018 period included revenues from Aspen Refrigerants, Inc. (“ARI”) which was acquired in October 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognized a $14 million inventory write down due to a decline in selling price of certain gases that occurred in the quarter. The Company also recognized an additional $18 million write down for the previously recorded step-up in inventory basis associated with the acquisition of ARI. Due to the impact of the inventory write downs, the Company’s net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $28.6 million, or ($0.67) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $8.5 million or $0.21 per basic and $0.20 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s revenues were $100.5 million, an increase of 10% compared to $91.1 million in the comparable 2017 period. Revenues for the 2018 period included revenues from ARI. The Company experienced negative gross margins for the first six months of 2018 compared to gross margin of 32.8% in the first six months of 2017. Due to the impact of the $32 million of inventory write downs in the second quarter of 2018, the Company’s net loss for the first half of 2018 was $31.6 million, or ($0.75) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $14.3 million or $0.34 per basic and $0.33 per diluted share in the first half of 2017.
