Company Achieves Record Quarterly Revenue of
$1.85MM
TULSA,
Okla., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- ClearSign Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: CLIR)
("ClearSign" or the "Company"), an emerging an emerging leader in
industrial combustion and sensing technologies that support
decarbonization, improve operational and energy
efficiency, enable the use of hydrogen as a fuel and enhance safety
while dramatically reducing emissions, today provides an update on
operations for the quarter ended September
30, 2024.
"We are happy to report a record revenue quarter of almost
two million dollars," said
Jim Deller, Ph.D., Chief Executive
Officer of ClearSign. "We are very encouraged by our growing
pipeline of projects to be shipped, installed and in engineering
phases. Our sales channels are expanding through a network of
partners, OEM's and engineering firms, and we believe this is an
integral part of expanding our sales operation. From our installed
base to third-party testing like the California GET program, our
operational performance continues to provide additional compelling
data for our products and supports our reputation as a solution
provider," concluded Dr. Deller.
Recent strategic and operational highlights during, and
subsequent to, the end of the third quarter 2024 include:
Reported Record Quarterly Revenue: For the third quarter
of 2024, the Company recognized approximately $1.85 million in revenues compared to
$85 thousand for the comparable
period in 2023. The year-over-year increase in revenues was driven
predominantly by the shipment of an order for 20 process burners to
a California refinery
customer.
Announced Flare Order for Energy Company in California: The order from a prior flare
customer is for the initial engineering for a flare retrofit
to be installed at a production facility. The final product is
expected to be fabricated and shipped in the second quarter of 2025
and to be installed at the customer's site in the San Joaquin
Valley of California.
Announced Public Release of California Statewide Gas Emerging
Technologies (GET) Report on Boiler Burners: The study,
sponsored by Southern California Gas Company ("SoCalGas"), was to
test and quantify the emissions improvements and efficiency gains
for the ClearSign Core™-Rogue ultra-low NOx boiler burner compared
to a conventional (or baseline) ultra-low-NOx burner operating in
the same boiler. Specifically, the report concluded that
the ClearSign ultra-low NOx burner demonstrates material
savings for fuel and electricity while producing ultra-low NOx
levels and was capable of NOx levels lower than the baseline
burner.
Announced Burner Orders for Power Generation Customers in
Oklahoma and Missouri: ClearSign has received two
burner orders approximately a month apart from Exotherm Corporation
of Houston, Texas ("Exotherm"). The first burner order
was for installation in a heater in Oklahoma for use by a
power generation company. The second burner order is from a
different power generation company for installation and use in
Missouri.
Announced Order for Multi Heater Project for Texas
Petrochemical Facility: The Company received the initial
engineering order from engineering and heater manufacturer
Birwelco USA Inc. (a BIH Group company) as the first
phase of a project to retrofit four process heaters with a total of
26 ClearSign Core™ burners to be installed in the Gulf Coast
facility of a Fortune 500 global chemical company.
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $14.5 million as of September 30, 2024.
There were 50,234,407 shares of the Company's common stock
issued and outstanding as of September 30,
2024.
