American Power Group Corporation ("APG") (Pink:APGI) today announces the unaudited results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 and the filing of our Fiscal 2024 Annual Report with the OTC Markets on December 30, 2024.
Chuck Coppa, APG's CEO/CFO stated, "Net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, were approximately $3.36 million as compared to approximately $0.87 million of net sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase in fiscal 2024 revenue is directly related to our growing market share in the dual fuel stationary conversion market for frack engines operating in the oil and gas production sector. We have experienced an increase since the summer of 2024 in our oil and gas stationary dual fuel conversion orders in the fracking sector as market demand for more efficient and cost-effective drilling operations has become a critical factor for operators."
Mr. Coppa added, "As we enter fiscal 2025, we continue to see increased demand coming from the frack engine conversion sector as evidenced by the fact we shipped approximately $1.55 million of stationary conversion orders during the recent quarter ended December 31, 2024 and are diligently working to close on over $5 million of outstanding conversion quotes spread over multiple stationary dealers/installers."
Mr. Coppa noted, "Our unaudited net loss for fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $1 million as compared to an unaudited net loss of approximately $2.04 million for the same period last year. During fiscal 2024, we incurred approximately $935,000 of emission testing and development/support costs associated with our efforts to enhance our existing technology as well as expand our EPA/CARB engine family approvals to include newer Class 8 truck engines. Given the lack of currently available natural gas/RNG options for fleets running heavy-duty 15L trucks, we are focusing on newer engine platforms in the 2019 to 2023 range starting with Cummins ISX 15L high HP (450+) engine platform given it allows for a much greater market/application coverage. As of September 30, 2024, we had $0.41 million in cash, no long-term debt and net working capital of $0.90 million."
APG's Stationary S4000 technology has a field performance reputation of the highest up-time and lowest total cost of ownership amongst the dual fuel industry which was underscored by our announcement a year ago that our stationary/off-road dual fuel installation base had reached an estimated 15 million cumulative run hour milestone. Our S4000 seamlessly introduces natural gas from renewable, fossil or treated field gas into the induction system of a diesel engine, displacing up to 65% (50% average) of the diesel fuel. The S4000 System does not change any of the OEM diesel engine components, maintaining base engine temperature and pressure parameters of the OEM engine. Displacing on average 50%+ of the diesel fuel with natural gas has had an enormous impact on operating costs, emissions and of course carbon footprint for operators using our technology.
APG's Dual Fuel Technology can use renewable natural gas (RNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), liquified natural gas (LNG), captured flare-stack methane and conditioned well-head gas resulting in lower cost, lower carbon and lower criteria pollutants. Additionally, APG's technology remains fully compatible with eligible biodiesel blends and renewable diesel fuels further reducing a diesel engines' carbon footprint and provides users with a proven regulatory compliant technology to meet their Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) objectives.
American Power Group's subsidiary, American Power Group Inc., ("APG"), provides cost-effective alternative fueling solutions for diesel engines to significantly reduce methane criteria pollutants and help accelerate a low-carbon future. APG's Dual Fuel conversion technology is a unique patented hardware and software solution that enables high-horsepower diesel engines to safely displace up to 65% of diesel fuel with natural gas. Engines equipped with APG's Dual Fuel technology can use renewable natural gas (RNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), captured flare-stack methane and conditioned well-head gas resulting in lower cost, lower carbon, and lower criteria pollutant emissions. Additionally, APG's Dual Fuel conversion technology remains fully compatible with eligible biodiesel blends and renewable diesel fuels further reducing a diesel engine's carbon footprint and provide users with a proven regulatory compliant technology to meet their Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance ("ESG") objectives.
