Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ report will evaluate providers helping companies use digital technologies to improve operations, prepare for future energy needs

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$III #CapitalProjectsManagement--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining service providers that are meeting the changing needs of oil and gas companies in the digital age.


The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called Oil and Gas Industry — Services and Solutions, scheduled to be released in January 2023. The report will cover companies offering services – including asset management, capital projects management, cloud computing and energy transition services – that help oil and gas companies innovate and improve their operations.

Oil and gas company buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

The oil and gas industry is going through major changes, including rising demand, declining inventory and significant disruptions, such as the one resulting from the Ukraine crisis. While these forces are currently driving prices up, companies face growing challenges around price volatility, worker safety, remote asset monitoring and data access. At the same time, the industry is beginning to focus on making the transition to low-carbon resources.

“The changes hitting the oil and gas sector right now are making efficient operations and digital innovation more important than ever,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Companies need new capabilities like cloud computing, AI, automation and operational security, and service providers are making this possible.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 oil and gas services and solution providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce five quadrants representing the services and solutions the typical oil and gas enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The five quadrants are:

  • Enterprise Asset Management, evaluating providers of EAM services and solutions that help oil and gas companies increase asset performance, extend the useful life of assets and reduce operational costs.
  • Next-Gen IT/OT Services, assessing providers of IT managed services to the oil and gas industry, including application development and maintenance, cybersecurity and IoT-based solutions, that support the convergence of IT and OT and help clients operate efficiently and comply with regulations.
  • Capital Projects Management (CPM), covering providers that offer oil and gas CPM services that allow clients to design and carry out complex, capital-intensive projects on time and within budget.
  • Data Management and Cloud Computing, evaluating providers of data handling and cloud services for oil and gas companies, enabling the transition from legacy systems and the centralization of data and processes in the cloud.
  • Energy Transition Services, assessing providers that offer a range of energy transition services that allow oil and gas companies to meet their net-zero carbon transition targets and develop new business models.

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global oil and gas technology market and examine products and services available in North America, the U.K. and the Nordics. ISG analysts Swadhin Pradhan, Harish B, Mohd Aves Malik and Hemant Kumar Chandak will serve as authors of the reports.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure.

Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged to register here to receive a personalized survey URL. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.

Walton College Renames Department after J.B. Hunt Transport

LOWELL, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc., one of the largest supply chain solutions providers in North America, and the University of Arkansas announced the Sam M. Walton College of Business program for studying supply chain, ranked number one by Gartner, has officially been renamed the J.B. Hunt Transport Department of Supply Chain Management. Leadership from both organizations were at J.B. Hunt’s corporate campus today to discuss how their efforts are making Northwest Arkansas an epicenter for developing tomorrow’s industry and its leaders.



"J.B. Hunt and the University of Arkansas are shaping the future of supply chain, not just in Northwest Arkansas, but across the country," said Shelley Simpson, president of J.B. Hunt. "Together, we are preparing future leaders who will grow with the industry to meet evolving supply chain challenges. This will help us achieve our mission of creating the most efficient transportation network in North America, and ultimately the world."

To extend support of their continued collaboration, J.B. Hunt also announced a new $1.5 million commitment to Walton College that will help enhance the development of the J.B. Hunt Transport Department of Supply Chain Management. Since 2017, J.B. Hunt has gifted $7 million to the University of Arkansas to advance innovative, supply chain-focused initiatives, with $5 million of that dedicated to enabling Walton College’s top-ranked supply chain program over the past two years. J.B. Hunt and the Walton College have jumpstarted numerous initiatives to study factors such as inclusion, sustainability, thought leadership, education, and innovation. With a long-term vision of shaping the future of integrated supply chain management, their efforts focus on ensuring the industry has a modern workforce with professionals that can grow with the industry to meet evolving supply chain challenges, blending logistics expertise with advancing technology.

Walton College aims to be the leader in supply chain management education, research and career readiness,” said Matt Waller, dean of the Walton College and holder of the Sam M. Walton Leadership Chair in Business. “A gift of this magnitude from one of the global leaders in logistics can expand our reach to talented students, expert faculty and industry thought leaders. Together, we can advance the industry’s positive growth and practice.”

Waller presented Simpson with a plaque recognizing the department’s new name and the college’s appreciation for J.B. Hunt. The department named after the transportation industry leader will house the undergraduate integrated supply chain management program recently ranked number one in North America by Gartner. The department’s graduate program ranked second.

J.B. Hunt and Walton College have worked closely together since the department was established, beginning with the J.B. Hunt Supply Chain University in 2014. The program helped employees gain a better understanding of supply chain beyond transportation and logistics. In 2017 the two, along with the University of Arkansas College of Engineering created the J.B. Hunt Innovation Center of Excellence, made possible through a $2.75 million grant from J.B. Hunt. The combined effort brought researchers and students together with J.B. Hunt employees to develop solutions through innovative design and technology. In 2020, the two announced a $2.25 million collaboration to increase awareness of inclusion and diversity in transportation and logistics, and last year, J.B. Hunt created a $1 million endowed scholarship fund to encourage students to pursue supply chain careers and contribute to the college’s diverse educational environment.

Performance Reflects Delayed Awards, Non-recurring Margin Pressure

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. (NYSE American: WLMS) (“Williams” or the “Company”), an energy and industrial infrastructure services company, today reported its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Recent Highlights

  • Williams posted revenue of $56.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared with $91.6 million in the prior-year period
  • The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022 compared with net income from continuing operations of $2.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was negative $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $4.9 million in the prior-year period
  • As of June 30, 2022 the Company’s backlog was $234.3 million compared to $257.0 million as of March 31, 2022; approximately $144.6 million of the June 30, 2022 backlog is expected to be converted to revenue over the following twelve months
  • As previously announced, the Company has updated its guidance to reflect delayed awards and certain non-recurring costs

“Although Williams’ future remains promising, we were disappointed in how the second quarter played out, causing us to reduce guidance on August 4, 2022,” said Tracy Pagliara, President and CEO of Williams. “Our second quarter revenues were lower than expected as nuclear work was pushed out to the second half of 2022. In addition, several non-recurring items, including start-up costs in our transmission and distribution business, margin pressure from certain Florida water projects, and litigation expenses relating to a competitor and former employee, also negatively impacted bottom line results.

“Looking ahead, with bid activity accelerating, we’re optimistic about revenue and backlog growth and better operating performance in the quarters to come. We remain focused on new business development, expense controls and working capital management. We’re confident in our ability to position Williams for expansion and increased shareholder returns going forward.”

1 See NOTE 1 — Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the attached tables for important disclosures regarding Williams’ use of Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of income (loss) from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results Compared to Second Quarter 2021

Revenue in the second quarter was $56.1 million compared with $91.6 million in the second quarter of 2021, largely reflecting reduced nuclear business – due to the timing of a nuclear outage which occurs every other year accounting for $17.6 million of the decline – fewer decommissioning contracts accounting for $11.5 million of decline, and the exit of the Canadian nuclear market accounting for a $9.9 million reduction in revenue. Gross profit was $2.3 million, or 4.1% of revenue, compared with $9.4 million, or 10.2% of revenue, in the prior-year period, with the lower margin primarily due to changes in project mix, including the ongoing impact of certain contracts in Florida, as previously announced, and start-up costs tied to the Company’s further expansion into the energy delivery market. Excluding the aforementioned gross margin compression associated with Williams’ entry into the transmission and distribution business of $1.6 million and the negative gross margin impact of $1.2 million from the Company’s Florida water projects, adjusted gross margin would have been 10.0% of revenue.

Operating expenses were $6.7 million in the 2022 second quarter, inclusive of $0.3 million in professional fees relating to an ongoing legal matter, compared with $6.6 million in the prior-year period. The Company reported an operating loss of $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 versus operating profit of $2.7 million in the same period of 2021. Interest expense was $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 versus $1.2 million in 2021.

The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022 compared with net income from continuing operations of $2.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total liquidity (the sum of unrestricted cash and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility) was $6.5 million as of June 30, 2022 versus $27.7 million at the beginning of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $0.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $0.5 million of restricted cash, and $41.4 million of bank debt compared with $2.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $0.5 million of restricted cash, and $32.1 million of bank debt as of December 31, 2021.

Backlog

Total backlog as of June 30, 2022 was $234.3 million compared with $257.0 million on March 31, 2022. During the second quarter of 2022 the Company recognized revenue of $56.1 million, booked new awards of $17.2 million, and saw net adjustments and cancellations of $16.2 million.

GROSS MARGIN RECONCILIATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE (UNAUDITED)

The following table reconciles our adjusted gross margin to our actual gross margin by deducting the energy transmission and distribution projects that are incurring start-up costs and lump sum projects in the water markets that are generating a loss. We believe this information is meaningful as it isolates the impact that our start-up costs and the non-profitable lump sum projects have on our gross margin. Because adjusted gross margin is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Smart Ports Global Market Report 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global smart ports market is expected to grow from $1.43 billion in 2021 to $1.78 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.3%. The smart ports market is expected to grow to $4.37 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 25.1%.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the smart ports market in 2021 and is also expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in smart ports market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.

The encouragement and participation from governments all over the world in the form of initiatives will propel the growth of the smart port market. Growing concerns about climate change have pushed governments across the world to adopt sustainable development projects to reduce carbon footprint and increase efficiency.

To implement digitization, governments are encouraging the adoption of technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the ports sector. For example, the Port of Hamburg in Germany adopted the Internet of Things and other smart port technologies by using data sources to feed to a single platform to increase logistics efficiencies. Therefore, the increasing number of government initiatives drives the smart ports market.

The adoption of smart technologies is a key trend gaining popularity in the smart port market. The implementation of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and big data has changed the way the smart ports operate in comparison to the traditional ports. For example, in April 2021, Abu Dhabi Ports introduced a new digital service to smoothen the management of Abu Dhabi's slipways, which are ramps for moving boats and other watercraft to and from the water to ease congestion at peak times. Thus, the adoption of smart technologies has made the end-to-end process of port management efficient.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volta Inc. (NYSE: VLTA, VLTA WS) (“Volta” or the “Company”), an industry-leading electric vehicle (“EV”) charging and media company, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Volta had a record quarter, and these results demonstrate the power of our differentiated business model,” said Vince Cubbage, Interim CEO. “By building not just a network of chargers, but a dual energy and digital advertising platform, we believe Volta can scale revenue even faster than the EV adoption curve – offering the quickest path to profitability and the highest revenue per station. I’ve been impressed by the exceptional work being done across Volta’s business and see tremendous opportunity ahead as the Company moves through its next stage of growth.”

Recent Key Company Highlights in 2022

Public Policy | City of Hoboken: Volta plans to install a mix of 25 DCFC and L2 public EV charging stalls for the City’s residents, annual visitors, and commuters over the next 18 months. The collaboration is a model for how EV charging infrastructure can be efficiently deployed within densely populated urban areas to maximize economic, health, and climate benefits and should position the Company well for Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) planning funds. Through its work with Hoboken, Volta also expects to grow its media impressions within the NY, NY Designated Market Area by nearly 20%, making the Volta Media™ Network even more attractive to advertisers.

Collaboration with Leading Shopper Intelligence Platform Catalina: By tapping into Catalina’s measurement services, Volta can directly determine incremental sales at the store level for retailers and advertisers that run campaigns on the Volta Media™ Network. The ability to report at this level signifies Volta as a digital-first, results driven media network and is expected to provide Volta with the ability to unlock more significant advertising deals.

Coca-Cola®: Coca-Cola and Volta Media completed a case study with Quotient, a leading digital media and promotions technology company, to prove out Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). The brands featured in the Volta campaign saw $2.5 million in attributable sales and a ROAS 56% higher than the average Digital Out-Of-Home ADUSA food and beverage campaign, demonstrating the measurable impact Volta campaigns can have on The Coca-Cola Company and other Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands.

Kroger: Volta plans to install charging stations at 16 Kroger locations in the Atlanta and Indianapolis areas, with plans to expand to Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Michigan, and Southern California throughout 2022. Kroger's advertising sales team plans to sell Volta's media inventory to its clients, unlocking another source of revenue for Volta and highlighting the power of Volta’s combined charging and media model to other retailers with advertising offerings.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Revenues increased 121% year-over-year to $15.3 million, compared to $6.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CORR--CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2022.


Second Quarter 2022 and Recent Highlights

  • Reported consolidated revenue of $31.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
  • Generated Net Income of $2.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $10.0 million.
  • Experienced lower than expected transportation volumes, mitigated by higher than plan revenue from the value of crude oil received as pipeline loss allowance and by cost management. Transportation volumes on the Crimson assets are expected to rebound during the third quarter.
  • The Company also announced that Crimson subsidiaries recently submitted applications for 10% rate increases to the California Public Utilities Commission, to become effective during the third quarter 2022. This rate increase mitigates the adverse earnings impact of long term decline in oil production levels.
  • Declared a second quarter 2022 Common Stock dividend of $0.05 per share and a 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share. Both dividends will be paid on August 31, 2022, to stockholders of record on August 17, 2022.

Management Commentary

“Our second quarter was characterized by steady performance from our predictable MoGas operations but a reduction in volume at Crimson as a result of disruptions in the global oil supply chain. Subsequently in July, a third-party operational issue drove increased volume to our California assets, a benefit which is expected to persist through Q3. We have also initiated a combination of cost efficiency measures and pricing increases on our California pipelines in response to this increased volatility for the near-term. Net of these updates, we are maintaining our 2022 outlook calling for adjusted EBITDA of $42.0-$44.0 million,” said Dave Schulte, Chief Executive Officer.

“We also continue to advance our work to enable the transportation of CO2 as part of the emerging carbon sequestration efforts in California. Carbon capture and associated transportation and sequestration has received increased investment and interest due in part to favorable economic incentives from government entities at both the federal and state levels. We believe CorEnergy's assets are very well positioned for carbon sequestration projects in California, and could enable us to maximize utilization of our pipeline assets and rights of ways.”

Notes

1 Management uses CAD as a measure of long-term sustainable performance. Adjusted Net Income and CAD are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted Net Income represents net income (loss) adjusted for gain on sale of equipment and transaction-related costs. CAD represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion (cash flows) stock-based compensation, and deferred tax expense (benefit) less transaction-related costs; maintenance capital expenditures; preferred dividend requirements and mandatory debt amortization. Reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income and CAD to Net Income (Loss) and Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities are included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

2 Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) adjusted for items such as (gain) on the sale of equipment, transaction-related costs, depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense, stock-based compensation, income tax expense (benefit) and interest expense. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss) is included in the additional financial information attached to this press release.

BURLINGTON, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or the “Company”) (TSX: ANRG) today announced that, following its announcement on August 3, 2022, that it is reviewing certain accounting policies, it will restate its unaudited, condensed, consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022, its annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, each with relevant comparative periods, and the related management’s discussion and analysis for those periods (collectively, the “Affected Disclosures”).


The restatement of the Affected Disclosures is the result of previously announced discussions with KPMG LLP, the Company’s external auditor, regarding certain technical accounting standards relating to the recognition of capital sales and related Build Own Operate (“BOO”) project costs for three of the Company’s U.S. BOO projects. The impact of the resulting changes to the Company’s accounting policies on the Affected Disclosures is in line with the Company’s preliminary estimates contained in its press release of August 3, 2022.

The Company intends to file restatements of the Affected Disclosures together with its financial statements and related MD&A for the second quarter of fiscal 2022, including restated comparative figures, on August 15, 2022, after market close.

  • Jenbacher Ready-for-H2 engines will power Raven SR’s inaugural waste-to-hydrogen plant
  • Jenbacher hydrogen engines will operate on blend of landfill gas and hydrogen-rich waste fuel, producing renewable power
  • Jenbacher engines will operate in isolated operation configuration, enabling Raven SR’s facility to produce H2 independent of the California grid

JENBACH, Austria & PINEDALE, Wyo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--INNIO in collaboration with Raven SR today announced Raven SR’s plans to use INNIO’s Jenbacher engines [60 Hz] with a “Ready for H2” option to produce renewable energy. The energy system will power and heat Raven SR’s S- Series hydrogen production facility at a sanitary landfill in Richmond, California. At the site, landfill gas (LFG) will be the primary fuel to provide power for the non-combustion process that converts waste to hydrogen. The hydrogen product will be resold to power fuel cells in heavy-duty trucks. The Raven SR process will also provide a residual fuel containing residual green hydrogen from the concentration process to supplement the LFG to fuel the Jenbacher Ready-for-H2 engines to generate renewable power in a continuous loop.



The collaboration with Raven’s technology offers a strong renewable hydrogen alternative to electrolysis, using less electricity and no need for fresh water. INNIO’s Jenbacher engines will allow the Raven facility to generate a significant amount of their own electricity, reducing demand on California’s electrical grid.

“We are proud to collaborate with Raven on this hydrogen industry first, which is a milestone in the interconnecting of transportation and industry with the power producing sector,” commented Dr. Olaf Berlien, President and CEO of INNIO. “This project produces onsite renewable hydrogen from waste, uses a blend of hydrogen to generate energy to power operations, and provides renewable hydrogen for the transportation industry. This is a model example of how innovation can enable sector coupling which will be critical on the global path to net zero.”

“INNIO is able to meet our delivery schedule and provide engines that are compliant with emissions requirements for a blend of CO2, methane and hydrogen,” said Matt Murdock, CEO of Raven SR. “The Jenbacher engines are a very important element for us to realize our objective of producing renewable hydrogen with our non-combustion Steam/CO2 Reformation Process, independent of the grid. Raven’s success in the increasing energy and electricity crisis requires that we generate autonomous power onsite,” said Matt Murdock, CEO of Raven SR. “To succeed in the energy transition, collaboration among best-in-class engineering around the world is required. We are grateful to work with INNIO on this advanced, self-contained renewable energy design.”

Raven SR plans to bring its S-Series online in the first quarter of 2023 at the Republic Services West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill in Richmond, California. This project will initially process up to 99.9 tons of organic waste per day and produce up to 2,000 metric tons per year of hydrogen.

Conference Call to be Held Today at 11 a.m. ET

SOLON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ:EFOI), a leader in sustainable, energy-efficient lighting and controls systems and ultraviolet-c light disinfection (“UVCD”) products for the commercial, military maritime and consumer markets, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

  • Net sales of $1.5 million, decreased 28.6% compared to the second quarter of 2021, reflecting a $0.5 million, or 49.3% decrease in military sales, as well as a decrease of $0.1 million, or 9.6% in commercial sales, year-over-year. As compared to the first quarter of 2022, net sales decreased by 28.2%, primarily reflecting a $0.4 million decrease in military sales and a $0.2 million decrease in commercial sales.
  • Gross profit margin of 7.4% was down from 18.9% in the second quarter of 2021, and up from negative gross profit margin of (1.3)% in the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was driven by lower sales and less favorable product mix. Sequentially, despite lower sales and negative impacts from the mix of products sold, the increase in gross profit margin primarily relates to a favorable change in inventory reserves offset slightly by the unfavorable impact of a scrap write-off.
  • Loss from operations of $2.2 million was flat as compared to the second quarter of 2021. Loss from operations improved 7.7% as compared to a loss from operations of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.35) per basic and diluted share of common stock, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.59) per basic and diluted share of common stock, in the second quarter of 2021. Sequentially, the net loss decreased by $0.3 million compared to net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.44) per basic and diluted share of common stock, in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Cash of $0.9 million, included in total availability (as defined under “Non-GAAP Measures” below) of $2.5 million, each as of June 30, 2022, as compared to cash of $2.7 million and total availability of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2021.
  • An April 2022 unsecured bridge financing generated $1.8 million in net liquidity after discounts and transaction expenses, and a June 2022 private placement for the sale of common stock and warrants resulted in net proceeds of $3.2 million.

Stephen Socolof, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite the second quarter results, we believe our progress on cost reduction initiatives, reinvestment in our military sales channel, and building commercial sales pipeline will position us for revenue and margin improvements in the second half of 2022. We expect our cost savings initiatives will begin to contribute to the bottom line in the third quarter, while our enhanced ‘white light’ offerings and our refreshed RedCap® solution are expected in the last half of this year. Customer project timing and supply chain constraints impacted timing of certain second quarter orders, leading us into the third quarter with a healthy backlog of near-term orders. Our patented EnFocus™ powerline control system products are seeing larger order volumes, and we are optimistic they will become a more meaningful contributor in the second half of the year.”

Mr. Socolof added, “We continue to focus on value-engineering and supply chain management initiatives we expect will reduce our cost of goods and make us more competitive, and have taken another hard look at other cost-cutting initiatives. Our SG&A expenses declined year-over-year, and sequentially when compared to the prior quarter, demonstrating our commitment to expense management. While reduced sales in the second quarter resulted in continued cash burn, we anticipate the cost reduction efforts combined with sales initiatives will result in a reduction in our cash burn in the second half of the year as sales improve and cost management impacts have full-period impacts.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results:

Net sales were $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 28.6%. Net sales from commercial products were approximately $1.0 million, or 65.9% of total net sales, for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $1.1 million, or 52.0% of total net sales, in the second quarter of 2021, reflecting (i) volatility of sales to large institutional customers; (ii) fluctuations in the timing and pace of commercial projects; and (iii) lingering macroeconomic supply chain impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales from military maritime products were approximately $0.5 million, or 34.1% of total net sales, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $1.0 million, or 48.0% of total net sales, in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to delayed timing of orders and project funding and reduced military maritime market pipeline development over the past year. Sequentially, net sales were down 28.2% compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, reflecting primarily a decrease in military maritime orders.

Gross profit was $0.1 million, or 7.4% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2022. This compares with gross profit of $0.4 million, or 18.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year decrease in gross profit was driven by (i) lower sales volume, an unfavorable impact of $0.2 million, or 16% of net sales; and (ii) an unfavorable product mix impact of approximately $0.3 million, or 20% of net sales. These decreases were offset by a favorable net impact of $0.2 million, or 11% of net sales, from our inventory reduction project, with the change in inventory reserves offset by the inventory scrap write-off. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 also included unfavorable freight-in variances of $0.1 million, or 7% of net sales.

Sequentially, gross profit of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 compares with negative gross profit of $(26.0) thousand, or (1.3)% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2022. Despite lower sales volumes (an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.1 million, or 10% of net sales), and an unfavorable product mix impact of approximately $0.1 million, or 5% of net sales, the increase quarter-over-quarter primarily relates to the favorable net impact of approximately $0.3 million, or 21% of net sales, related to the inventory reduction project, with the change in inventory reserves offset by the inventory scrap write-off.

Adjusted gross margin, as defined under “Non-GAAP Measures” below, was (5.1)% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 17.6% in the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by lower sales in the second quarter of 2022 in combination with a negative product mix impact during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021. Sequentially, this compares to adjusted gross margin of 5.0% in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease from the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by lower sales in the second quarter of 2022 as well as lower variable margins during the second quarter of 2022.

Operating loss was $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, flat as compared to an operating loss of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. Sequentially, this improved compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Net loss was $2.5 million, or $(0.35) per basic and diluted share of common stock, for the second quarter of 2022, compared with a net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.59) per basic and diluted share of common stock, in the second quarter of 2021. Sequentially, this compares with a net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.44) per basic and diluted share of common stock, in the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined under “Non-GAAP Measures” below, was a loss of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with a loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and a loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. The larger adjusted EBITDA loss in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the second quarter of 2021, was primarily due to the gross margin reductions from lower sales and less favorable product mix.

Cash was $0.9 million as of June 30, 2022. This compares with cash of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company added to its liquidity position with $1.8 million in net proceeds in connection with the April 2022 bridge financing and $3.2 million in net proceeds in connection with the June 2022 private placement. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total availability, as defined under “Non-GAAP Measures” below, of $2.5 million, which consisted of $0.9 million of cash and $1.6 million of additional borrowing availability under its credit facilities. This compares to total availability of $4.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and total availability of $1.1 million as of March 31, 2022. Our net inventory balance of $7.2 million as of June 30, 2022 decreased $0.7 million from our net inventory balance as of December 31, 2021. As part of our expense reduction initiative, we have decreased our warehouse space by approximately 40% beginning in the third quarter of 2022. As part of our expense reduction initiatives, we have significantly decreased our warehouse space beginning in the third quarter of 2022. In connection with the space reduction, in the second quarter of 2022, we began disposing of a substantial portion of our excess and obsolete commercial finished goods inventory that was more than 90% reserved. Additional inventory management efforts are expected to continue in the third quarter of 2022 in order to free up additional space in the warehouse.

Fleet Leaders Want to See Charging Infrastructure Development Before Making Major Commitments to Specific Alternative Fuels

WESTLAKE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leaders of the largest U.S. trucking fleets are moving forward with planning and investment in fleets powered by sustainable fuels, according to a new survey released today by TravelCenters of America Inc. (Nasdaq: TA). Fleet companies have begun making investments in electric and hydrogen powered vehicles and expect to continue to do so in the next few years.



The survey was released as part of a new white paper from eTA, TA’s sustainability business unit, called “Sustainable Fuels in Trucking: The Greening of America’s Trucking Industry.” View the white paper here: https://tatransformation.com/alternative-energy-sustainability/

“This white paper, the first in a series about the trucking industry’s transition to sustainable fuels and TA’s role in that process, identifies the key challenges the industry is facing and the support it will need from federal and state governments to be successful,” said Jon Pertchik, Chief Executive Officer of TravelCenters of America. “One of the key findings is that many companies are hesitant to fully commit to alternative energy vehicles until the technology and infrastructure have matured enough for them to maintain efficient operations during the transition period and beyond. With the current range of EV and hydrogen-powered heavy-duty trucks, fleet leaders want to see a substantial number of available fast-charging and/or refueling stations before making larger investments in new vehicles. TA plans to be a leader in providing EV charging stations and hydrogen refueling for trucks at its over 275 travel centers as the industry adopts these sustainable fuels.”

Other key survey findings include:

  • One in five companies responding to the survey already have some electric vehicles in their fleet.
  • About half expect to have electric vehicles in their fleet by 2030.
  • Most responding companies anticipate that EV trucks will make up 11%-25% of their fleet by 2030.
  • Only 5% of fleets responding have hydrogen vehicles in their fleets today, but this number will likely increase to nearly 25% of fleets by 2030.
  • 9% of responding fleets currently have CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicles, with very few anticipating they will make up a larger percentage of their fleets by 2030.
  • Very few responding companies seem interested in vehicles powered by RNG (renewable natural gas) or LNG (liquified natural gas).

Trucking fleet leaders also look to TA to take a leading role in providing sustainable fuels so they can plan their own investments around TA locations that will provide alternative energy resources in the future.

About TravelCenters of America
TravelCenters of America Inc. (Nasdaq: TA) is the nation's largest publicly traded full-service travel center network. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Westlake, Ohio, its more than 18,000 team members serve guests in over 275 locations in 44 states, principally under the TA®, Petro Stopping Centers® and TA Express® brands. Offerings include diesel and gasoline fuel, truck maintenance and repair, full-service and quick-service restaurants, travel stores, car and truck parking and other services dedicated to providing great experiences for its guests. TA is committed to sustainability, with its specialized business unit, eTA, focused on sustainable energy options for professional drivers and motorists, and leverages alternative energy to support its own operations. TA operates over 600 full-service and quick-service restaurants and nine proprietary brands, including Iron Skillet® and Country Pride®. For more information, visit www.ta-petro.com.

Warning Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Whenever TA uses words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "will," "may" and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, TA is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon TA’s present beliefs and expectations, but these statements and the implications of these statements are not guaranteed to occur and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond TA’s control. Among others, the forward-looking statements which appear in this press release that may not occur include Mr. Pertchik’s statement that TA plans to be a leader in providing EV charging stations and hydrogen refueling for trucks at its over 275 travel centers as the industry adopts sustainable fuels. TA may change its strategy with respect to sustainable fuels, the industry may not adopt sustainable fuels as TA anticipates and TA may not realize the benefits it expects from its provision of EV charging stations and hydrogen refueling.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, TA does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Positive Adjusted EBITDA as EaaS Business Continues to Grow

Revenues of $18.7M, up 18% Sequentially from $15.8M

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CGRN #AdjustedPositiveEBITDA--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.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Oman Construction Market Size, Trends and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2022-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The construction industry in Oman is forecast to grow by 3.4% in real terms in 2022, after five successive years of contraction and a particularly steep decline of 8.3% in 2021.

The industry's growth in 2022 will be supported by a favorable base, coupled with rising oil prices and the continuous expansion of oil and gas production. According to the Ministry of Finance, the country's average oil production in the first two months of this year increased to 11 million barrels per day, up from 953,000 barrels per day in the same period in 2021.

In addition, the country's net oil revenue increased by 81% year on year (YoY) in the first two months of 2022, resulting in a budget surplus of OMR210 million ($546.2 million) at the end of February 2022, compared to a deficit of OMR457 million ($1.2 billion) at the end of February 2021 and this boost to the government's fiscal coffers will support project developments.

Despite regaining growth momentum, the Omani construction industry's output is expected to remain below the pre-pandemic levels (2019) throughout the forecast period. Moreover, the ongoing supply chain crisis, cement shortages and rising building and raw materials prices pose a downside risk to the industry's output in the short term.

The publisher expects the Omani construction industry to register annual average growth of 4.2% between 2023 and 2026, supported by investments on the construction of oil, electricity, transport, and housing infrastructure projects. In March 2022, ACME Group, a sustainable and renewable energy company based in India, signed a joint-venture agreement with Scatec ASA, a Norwegian renewable power producer, to invest OMR1.92 billion ($5 billion) on the construction of a large-scale green ammonia facility in Oman.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance added a list of new projects to the Tenth Five-Year Development Plan (2021-25) in March 2022. This includes the development of nine projects in the transportation sector, three projects each in the healthcare and tourism sectors, two projects in municipal development, and one project each in housing, education, and aviation sectors.

The Five-Year Development Plant was launched in 2021, with an aim of diversifying the economy. As part of the plan, the government will increase the spending on infrastructure from OMR10.9 billion ($28.3 billion) in 2021 to OMR11.4 billion ($29.6 billion) by 2025.
