Capstone Green Energy (NASDAQ: CGRN) Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results
Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CGRN) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2022, posting positive Adjusted EBITDA as the Company continues to deliver on its Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) business plan.
First Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights:
- Revenues for the first quarter ending June 30, 2022 were $18.7 million, up 18% from $15.8 million in revenue during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2022, and up 16% from revenues of $16.1 million in the year-ago June quarter.
- Gross margins for first quarter ending June 30, 2022 were 25% compared to 6% in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the growth of the EaaS long-term rental services and May 1, 2022 product and service price increases.
- Net loss of $2.1 million for the first quarter ending June 30, 2022, improved from a net loss of $6.9 million in the previous quarter ended March 31, 2022 and from a net loss of $2.2 million in the year-ago June quarter.
- Positive Adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million for the first quarter ending June 30, 2022, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of negative $4.7 million in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2022, and an Adjusted EBITDA of negative $2.3 million in the year-ago June quarter.
- Total EaaS long-term rental units under contract on June 30, 2022 were 34.4MW versus 10.1MW on June 30, 2021, representing 241% growth over the year-ago quarter.
- Gross product bookings for the first quarter ending June 30, 2022, were $12.4 million, down slightly from $12.7 million in the previous quarter ended March 31, 2022.
- The product Book-to-Bill Ratio dropped to 1.4:1 in first quarter ending June 30, 2022, from 1.7:1 as a result of lower product shipments in the previous quarter ended March 31, 2022. Ending product backlog on June 30, 2022 was $24.8 million compared to $25.3 million on March 31, 2022.
- Total cash and cash equivalents were $16.9 million at June 30, 2022, down from $22.6 million on March 31, 2022. Cash balances were impacted during the quarter from continued capital expenditures supporting the growth of the EaaS rental business, changes in working capital, and interest expense on the Goldman Sachs 3-year term note.
"The top-line revenue growth in our first quarter is certainly encouraging, as are the positive Adjusted EBITDA results, but it is our EaaS business growth that is most exciting as it drives higher margins, generates more constant and predictable revenue and enables us to leverage a more streamlined staffing model relative to a traditional industrial manufacturing company. Furthermore, the solution is attractive to our customers across a variety of industries as it helps them to directly manage capital costs and meet environmental impact targets," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy.
"Capstone’s key goals this new fiscal year are growing revenues and achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year by accelerating the growth of our EaaS business and boosting balance sheet liquidity beyond the benefits received from last year’s cost reduction efforts. We expect the combination of our new Capstone direct sales organization and expanding our distribution network globally will be key tools in driving additional growth. Our EaaS strategy and technology are being proven in the field every day and we will be pushing hard to replicate our success with more customers and across more geographies," concluded Mr. Jamison.

To supplement the company’s unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company’s financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company’s economic performance year-over-year.
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before gain on debt extinguishment, additional PPP loan forgiveness and stock-based compensation and other expense. Gain on debt extinguishment and additional PPP loan forgiveness relates to the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness. Stock-based compensation and other expense includes expense related to stock issued to employees, directors, vendors, and for extraordinary, non-recurring expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the company’s liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.
While management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this measure. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the company’s GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
