Press Release 15 November 2007
Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc.
Third Quarter Results for Period Ended September 30, 2007
Stamford, CT - November 15, 2007 - Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. ("Clean
Diesel" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CDTI; AIM: CDT/CDTS; XETRA: CDI), provider of
innovative technologies and solutions that reduce emissions, conserve fuel and
improve engine performance, today announced its results for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007.
Highlights
- First-ever quarterly net profit of $651,000 (EPS of $0.09)
- Q-3 revenue increased 626% to $2.5 million from third quarter of 2006
- Strong cash and short-term investment position of approximately $13.1 million
at September 30, 2007
Significant Developments
- In October, Clean Diesel began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market
- Clean Diesel granted a worldwide, non-exclusive license to Tenneco for the
ARIS(R) system and related emission control technologies
- London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) certification received for Purifier, Clean
Diesel's particulate matter emission control technology
Dr. Bernhard Steiner, President and CEO, commented: "We have continued to
perform ahead of our expectations. Over the last nine months we have worked hard
to focus on revenue generation and profitability. The September licensing deal
with Tenneco adds another industry-leading partner. In May, we granted a similar
worldwide, non-exclusive license to Bosch for our ARIS selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) technology for control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions."
"Furthermore, gaining certification for the London Low Emission Zone has opened
up a large market for our Purifier retrofit solutions. This certification will
give us a competitive advantage in low emission zones planned throughout
Europe."
"Both our first profitable quarter and our NASDAQ listing are significant and
evidence the success of our global business strategy," Dr. Steiner added. "We
are well positioned for future sustainable growth."
Clean Diesel reported total revenue for the quarter of $2,460,000 compared to
$339,000 in the 2006 quarter. The increase in revenue is due primarily to higher
technology licensing fees and royalties of $2.2 million in the 2007 third
quarter, which included license fees from new (Tenneco) and amended license
agreements. Clean Diesel reported a net profit of $651,000, or $0.09 per share,
in the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $1.1
million for the same period in 2006, or ($0.21) per share.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total revenue increased 341.8%, to
$3,919,000, from $887,000 in the same 2006 period. Net loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, was $1.7 million compared to $3.9 million for the same
period in 2006. The nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $733,000
non-cash stock option expense compared to $155,000 in the 2006 nine-month
period.
During the third quarter 2007, the Company made progress in its ongoing strategy
to complete technology licensing agreements with leading manufacturers and
component suppliers. In September, Clean Diesel entered into a worldwide,
non-exclusive licensing agreement with Illinois-based Tenneco (NYSE:TEN), to
combine Tenneco's proprietary products and technologies with Clean Diesel's ARIS
(R) airless reagent injection system and related technologies to control oxides
of nitrogen (NOx) through SCR. The license also supports other NOx and
particulate matter emission control strategies. The agreement licenses Tenneco
for the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) market as Tier One supplier and
systems integrator for emissions solutions, as well as for retrofit markets.
Tenneco is a global leader in emissions and ride control with nearly 80
manufacturing facilities and 14 engineering centers located in 24 countries on
six continents.
At September 30, 2007, Clean Diesel had cash and cash equivalents of $1,251,000
and investments of $11,825,000.
