WARRENVILLE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fuel Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK), a technology company providing advanced engineering solutions for the optimization of combustion systems, emissions control, and water treatment in utility and industrial applications, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.
“For full year 2021, we generated higher revenues, continued a strict cost control discipline that produced lower selling, general and administrative expenses, significantly reduced our operating loss, and reported annual net income for the first time since 2013," said Vincent J. Arnone, President and CEO. “We also ended the year in a strong financial position, with $37.1 million in total cash and no debt.”
Mr. Arnone continued, “Our FUEL CHEM® segment performed well, generating increased revenues and higher segment operating income for full year 2021. This performance helped to offset a decline in revenues at our Air Pollution Control (APC) business due to COVID-related project delays and cancellations, as well as changes in project timing. The pace and depth of our business development activities at APC has begun to strengthen and we were pleased to announce $5.3 million of new domestic and international APC orders during the current first quarter of 2022, covering many of our APC technology offerings, including our first Flue Gas Conditioning systems in India. We continue to pursue a global sales pipeline of $50-75 million addressing emission protocols across a variety of fuel sources.
“We also continued to strategically invest in the commercialization and development of our Dissolved Gas Infusion (DGITM) technology initiative to address the water pollution control and treatment market. We completed successful demonstrations at three locations in the United States and continue to work with these potential customers to determine next steps. We completed the fabrication of a higher capacity DGI equipment
delivery system that will allow us to meet the anticipated dissolved oxygen requirements of many of the potential customer applications that we are likely to encounter. We have recently completed a market opportunity assessment in conjunction with an outside firm that we believe will assist our long-term product commercialization activities and we are continuing to execute on our commercialization and development plan.”
Q4 2021 Consolidated Results Overview
Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 (“Q4 2021”) rose to $6.5 million from $6.2 million in Q4 2020, reflecting higher revenues at APC driven by the timing of project execution and new APC orders, partially offset by lower revenues at FUEL CHEM due to lower revenue from non-chemical sales.
Gross margin for Q4 2021 rose to 50.2% of revenues from 41.9% of revenues in Q4 2020, reflecting improved margins from the APC segment and product mix.
SG&A expenses declined to $3.2 from $3.8 million in Q4 2020, reflecting lower employee expenses and office and administrative costs relating to our foreign subsidiaries.
Operating loss narrowed to $(0.2) million from an operating loss of $(1.7) million in Q4 2020, the result of increased revenue, improved gross margin and lower SGA expenses.
Net loss in Q4 2021 was $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.07) per share, in Q4 2020.

APC segment revenues rose to $3.1 million from $2.5 million in Q4 2020. APC gross margin in Q4 improved to 55.6% of revenue from 29.0% of revenue, reflecting the timing of project execution and product mix.
FUEL CHEM segment revenues were $3.4 million compared to $3.7 million in Q4 2020. Segment gross margin was 45.3% compared to 50.7% in Q4 2020, reflecting a one-time higher margin system sale in last year’s fourth quarter.

2021 Full Year Overview

Consolidated gross margin for full year 2021 and 2020 was 49.0% and 47.2%, respectively, reflecting the factors cited above. Excluding the impact of a previously disclosed $2.6 million insurance settlement recorded in Q3 2020, gross margin for full year 2020 was 29.8%.
SG&A expenses for 2021 declined by 11.4% to $12.1 million from $13.6 million in 2020, reflecting the Company’s previously completed cost containment initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), the Company has provided an Adjusted EBITDA disclosure as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock compensation expense, and intangible assets abandonment and building impairment. The Company's reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and ability to generate cash flow, which we believe is a meaningful measure for our investor and analyst communities. In many cases non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by these individuals to evaluate Company performance and ultimately determine a reasonable valuation for our common stock. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure of net income (loss) has been included in the above financial table.
