WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN) announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.

SECOND QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

• Revenues of $78.3 million

Sales Volume +12%
Pricing -6%

• Gross Margin of 26%
• Net income of $4.9 million
• Diluted EPS of $0.12

Ken Gaglione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies, commented, “Our selling season is underway and second quarter sales revenue and volume growth exceeded expectations despite significant headwinds in the quarter, including a continued trough in HFC market prices and inflationary pressures. We continued to deliver for our customers driving our second 2026 sequential quarter of double-digit volume growth. In fact, our trailing twelve months volume is up double-digits. We also continued our efforts towards reinvigorating our focus on long-term shareholder value creation, announcing a preliminary agreement for a major partnership for advanced separation technology and making investments in our plants that will expand capacity and capability.

“As disclosed previously, one of our Illinois facilities experienced an operational disruption in mid-June due to tornado damage. We are happy to report there were no injuries to our people, and the facility was quickly restored to pre-storm output with only minimal interruption to our customers. We are very grateful to our team for restoring operations and their determination to service our customers despite production disruptions. All costs to restore the facility and related business interruption are expected to be covered through insurance.

“Following the close of the quarter, we announced our intention to partner with Icorium, an advanced separation technology company based in Kansas, to commercialize and scale their patented extractive distillation technology as an important component of Hudson’s operational excellence strategy. This exciting technology complements and advances conventional fractional distillation by increasing the ability to purify more complicated refrigerant mixtures with greater productivity and efficiency. Converting more recovered refrigerant into saleable product unlocks working capital and creates a new competitive edge as the industry phases out conventional refrigerants.

“We are encouraged by our progress in the areas we can control, including driving trailing-twelve-month double digit sales volume growth, generating cash, and executing our long-term growth and diversification strategy. As we move through the second half of the year, we continue to focus on revenue growth and improving quarterly operating margins. At the same time, we remain committed to making strategic investments to further our reinvigorated focus on longer-term initiatives to increase shareholder value through operational excellence, ensuring we have the right team in place, and evaluating and acting on strategic diversification opportunities that strengthen our competitive advantage today and reduce our exposure to seasonality in the future,” Mr. Gaglione concluded.

Three Months Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Hudson reported:

• Revenue was $78.3 million, up 8% from $72.8 million in the comparable 2025 period reflecting a 12% increase in sales volume, partially offset by 6% lower selling prices compared with the prior-year period where all refrigerant market prices rose as a result of supply chain constraints related to the EPA mandated transition to HFO refrigerants.
• Gross margin was 26%, compared with 31% in the second quarter of 2025. The decline in gross margin was two-fold, reflecting 6% lower refrigerant market pricing related to the previously noted increase in refrigerant prices in the 2025 quarter and increased operating costs primarily in fuel from geopolitically driven inflationary pressure.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $12.4 million from $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses was two-fold, reflecting costs related to the optimization of the recently launched ERP system as well as legal expenses incurred related to the Company’s DLA contract. Second, the Company increased staffing and consulting resources that reflect the Company’s newly reinvigorated focus on longer-term initiatives to increase shareholder value.
• Net income was $4.9 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, compared with $10.2 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025.

Six Months Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Hudson reported:

• Revenue was $138.5 million, up 8% from $128.2 million in the first six months of 2025 reflecting a 17% increase in sales volume, partially offset by a 7% decline in selling prices compared with the prior-year period where all refrigerant market prices rose as a result of supply chain constraints as described above.
• Gross margin was 23%, compared to 27% in the first six months of 2025. The decline in gross margin was two-fold, reflecting lower refrigerant market pricing related to the previously noted increase in refrigerant prices in the 2025 period and increased operating costs primarily in fuel costs as described above.
• Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $22.0 million from $17.4 million in the first six months of 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses was related to the increased operational, legal and staffing and consulting costs that impacted the second quarter.
• Net income was $5.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $12.9 million, or $0.29 per basic and $0.28 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2025.

At June 30, 2026 the Company reported $25.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Full Year Gross Margin Guidance

With its visibility today, and the expectation of continued subdued refrigerant market pricing and inflationary pressures through the close of 2026, the Company is revising its previously announced full year 2026 gross margin target from mid-twenty percent to low-to-mid-twenty percent.
