Hudson Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of sustainable refrigerant products and services primarily serving the Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning and Refrigeration industry, known for its commitment to environmental sustainability and innovation in refrigerant reclamation technology.

For the third quarter of 2024, Hudson Technologies reported revenue of $61.9 million and net income of $7.8 million, reflecting ongoing pricing pressures in the refrigerant market. The company’s balance sheet remains robust with $56.5 million in cash and no debt, and it executed a $2.6 million stock repurchase under its buyback plan.

Key financial results showed a 19% decline in quarterly revenue compared to the previous year, alongside a decrease in gross margin from 40% to 26%. Operating income dropped significantly from $23.1 million to $7.0 million, attributed to decreased prices for certain refrigerants and increased operating expenses. For the nine months period, revenues also decreased by 17%, with net income falling to $27.0 million from $48.3 million in the prior year.

The company’s strategic focus remains on the long-term growth opportunities in the reclaiming of refrigerants, anticipating increased demand due to regulatory changes such as the EPA’s finalized Refrigerant Management rule. Hudson Technologies has also expanded its stock repurchase program, signaling confidence in its financial strategy.

Looking forward, Hudson Technologies aims to navigate current market challenges by leveraging its strong balance sheet and strategic initiatives, while remaining optimistic about the anticipated demand for reclaimed refrigerants and its capacity to adapt to environmental regulations.
