DALLAS, Aug. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- H/Cell Energy Corporation (OTCQB-HCCC) (“HCCC”), a company that designs and implements clean energy solutions featuring hydrogen and fuel cell technology, has announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, HCCC generated revenue of $1,927,921 and a net loss of $105,223 which includes $75,980 of non-cash charges that do not affect the cash flow performance or working capital of HCCC. This amounts to a $(0.01) per share loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, HCCC generated revenue of $3,632,194 and a net loss of $248,861 which includes $187,133 of non-cash charges that again, do not affect the cash flow performance or working capital of HCCC. This amounts to a $(0.03) per share loss.
Andrew Hidalgo, CEO of HCCC, commented, "The second quarter was a very encouraging quarter for a number of reasons. Revenue production was up 12% from the previous quarter. Excluding non-cash charges that do not affect the cash flow performance or working capital of HCCC, the company only lost $29,243 on $1,927,921 of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $61,728 on $3,632,194 of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019. That loss is attributed to corporate expenses as both our subsidiaries were operationally profitable. In the second quarter, we incurred most of our annual audit fees and along with the cost of concluding a financing transaction, corporate expenses were much higher than we initially projected. HCCC recently executed a $3 million equity financing line as previously reported. This was a significant milestone for HCCC and for the first time, gives us access to substantial growth capital going forward. With this new equity financing arrangement, we find ourselves in the best position yet to take HCCC to the next level. Our opportunities remain abundant. As of June 30, 2019, HCCC had over $40 million in bids of which close to $4 million is specific to renewable energy. The clean energy market is robust and we are in a unique position as an advanced clean energy integrator to take advantage of the opportunities to come. We look forward to successful quarters ahead.”
