Aspen Aerogels reports Q3 EPS (17c), consensus (8c)

Reports Q3 revenue $117.3M, consensus $109.36M. “We are fully capitalized to execute our current strategy and are well-positioned for continued profitable growth,” noted Don Young, Aspen’s President and CEO. “During Q3, we implemented process improvements at our external manufacturing facility aimed at expanding capacity to meet the growing demand of our Energy Industrial business. Our Thermal Barrier business continues to show strength as our OEM customers ramp production, and our long-term conviction in this segment remains unchanged. We believe we are on track to utilize our existing assets and supply arrangements to achieve our target of at least $650 million in annual revenue with at least 35% gross margins and 25% Adjusted EBITDA margins. Our performance this quarter once again demonstrated our ability to deliver these profitability targets. As we plan additional capacity with our Statesboro Plant, we remain focused on enhancing this margin profile for the long-term.”
