Hudson has proven, reliable programs that meet customer refrigerant needs by providing environmentally sustainable solutions from initial sale of refrigerant gas through recovery, reclamation and reuse, peak operating performance of equipment through energy efficiency and emergency air conditioning and refrigeration system repair, to final refrigerant disposal and carbon credit trading.

The Company’s operations consist of one reportable segment. The Company'sCompany’s products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, and include refrigerant and industrial gas sales, refrigerant management services consisting primarily of reclamation of refrigerants and RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consistingcustomer’s site. RefrigerantSide® Services consist of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants.contaminants intended to restore systems to designed capacity. In addition, the Company’s SmartEnergy OPSTMOPS® service is a web-based real time continuous monitoring service applicable to a facility’s refrigeration systems and other energy systems. The Company’s Chiller Chemistry® and Chill Smart® services are also predictive and diagnostic service offerings. As a component of the Company’s products and services, the Company also participates in the generation of carbon offset projects. The Company operates principally through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Technologies Company. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company”, “Hudson”, “we"“we”, “us”, “our”, or similar pronouns refer to Hudson Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

On October 10, 2017, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) from Airgas, Inc. (“Airgas”) of all of the outstanding stock of Airgas-Refrigerants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ARI”), as more fully described in Note 9. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company changed its presentation of its Consolidated Income Statements to more closely align its results with the acquisition of ARI. Certain balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, including $0.9 million and $3.0 million of Selling and Marketing expense and $3.1 million and $5.8 million of General and Administrative expenses, have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Since the acquisition did not close until after September 30, 2017, none of the ARI results are included in the Consolidated Income Statements; however, certain pro forma information on a combined basis is included in Note 9.

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and in accordance with ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855-10 “Subsequent Events”, the Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were filed.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016.2022.

In the opinion of management, all estimates and adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all such adjustments were normal and recurring.

AIM Act

ConsolidationOn September 23, 2021, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued the final rule establishing the framework to allocate allowances for virgin production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants (“HFCs”). The EPA is responsible for the administration of the HFC phase down enacted by Congress under the AIM Act.

The AIM Act directs the EPA to address the reduction in virgin HFCs and provides authority to do so in three respects:

1)phase down the production and consumption of listed HFCs,
2)manage these HFCs and their substitutes including reclamation of refrigerants, and
3)facilitate the transition to next-generation technologies.

Congress required that the EPA consider ways to promote reclamation in all phases of its implementation of the AIM Act. The AIM Act introduces a stepdown of 10% from baseline levels in 2022 and 2023, and establishes a cumulative 40% reduction in the baseline for 2024. Hudson received allocation allowances for calendar years 2022 and 2023 equal to approximately 3 million Metric Tons Exchange Value Equivalents per year, or approximately 1% of the total HFC consumption, with allowances for future periods to be determined at a later date. Reclamation will be critical to maintaining necessary HFC supply levels to ensure an orderly phasedown.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, represent all companies of which Hudson directly or indirectly has majority ownership or otherwise controls. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries Hudson Holdings, Inc. and Hudson Technologies Company. The Company does not present a statement of comprehensive income as its comprehensive income is the same as its net income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments including cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short and long-term debt approximates fair value, due to the variable rate nature of the debt, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016. Please see2022. See Note 2 for further details on fair value description and hierarchy of the Company’s deferred acquisition cost.

details.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its temporary cash investments in highly-rated financial institutions and, at times, the balances exceed FDIC insurance coverage. The Company'sCompany’s trade accounts receivable are primarily due from companies throughout the United States. The Company reviews each customer'scustomer’s credit history before extending credit.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors associated with the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends, and other information. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable is reduced by the established allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve for the remaining accounts receivable balances. The Company adjusts its reserves based on factors that affect the collectability of the accounts receivable balances.

For the ninesix month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, two customers each accounted2023 there was one customer accounting for greater than 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and inat June 30, 2023 there were $14.6 million of accounts receivable from this customer. For the aggregate these two customers accountedsix-month period ended June 30, 2022 there was no customer accounting for 37%10% of the Company’s revenues. At September 30, 2017, there were $4.3 million in outstanding receivables from these customers.


For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and, in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 33% of the Company’s revenues. At September 30, 2016, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers.

The loss of a principal customer or a decline in the economic prospects of and/or a reduction in purchases of the Company'sCompany’s products or services by any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s operating results and financial position.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Temporary investments with original maturities of ninety days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of refrigerant products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost, on a first-in first-out basis, or market.net realizable value. Where the market price of inventory is less than the related cost, the Company may be required to write down its inventory through a lower of cost or marketnet realizable value adjustment, the impact of which would be reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any such adjustment would be based on management’s judgment regarding future demand and market conditions and analysis of historical experience.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, including internally manufactured equipment. The cost to complete equipment that is under construction is not considered to be material to the Company'sCompany’s financial position. Provision for depreciation is recorded (for financial reporting purposes) using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of economic life or terms of the respective leases. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Due to the specialized nature of the Company'sCompany’s business, it is possible that the Company'sCompany’s estimates of equipment useful life periods may change in the future.

Goodwill

GoodwillThe Company has made acquisitions that included a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company applies the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, which among other things, requires the recognition of goodwill (which represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations accountedand identified intangible assets). The Company tests its goodwill for underimpairment annually on a qualitative or quantitative basis (on the purchase methodfirst day of accounting. For the year ended December 31, 2016,fourth quarter) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of an asset below its carrying value. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. When performing the annual impairment test, the Company performedhas the annual goodwill impairment assessment usingoption of first performing a qualitative approachassessment, which requires management to make assumptions affecting a reporting unit, to determine whetherthe existence of events and circumstances that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwilla reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such a conclusion is reached, the Company is then required to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill. The Company has one reporting unit at June 30, 2023. Other intangible assets that meet certain criteria are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

An impairment charge is recorded based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. In performingAn impairment charge would be recognized when the qualitative assessment, we identify and considercarrying amount exceeds the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affect theestimated fair value of our goodwill.a reporting unit.

If the resultsCompany does not achieve its earnings objectives, the assumptions and estimates underlying these impairment evaluations could be adversely affected, which could result in an asset impairment charge that would negatively impact operating results. During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company completed its annual impairment test as of October 1 and determined in its qualitative assessment conclude that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill exceedsthe reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, additional quantitativeamount, resulting in no goodwill impairment.

There were no indicators ofgoodwill impairment duringlosses recognized in 2022 or the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. The Company accounts for operating leases in accordance with ASU 2016-02. The Company’s accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. See Note 5 for further details and current balances.

Cylinder Deposit Liability

The cylinder deposit liability, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s Balance Sheet, represents the amount due to customers for the return of refillable cylinders. The Company’s Aspen Refrigerants division (“ARI”) charges its customers cylinder deposits upon the shipment of refrigerant gases that are contained in refillable cylinders. The amount charged to the customer by ARI approximates the cost of a new cylinder of the same size. Upon return of a cylinder, this liability is reduced. The cylinder deposit liability balance was $15.9 million and $13.6 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Revenues and Cost of Sales

RevenuesThe Company’s products and services are recorded upon completionprimarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems. Most of service or product shipmentthe Company’s revenues are realized from the sale of refrigerant and passage of title to customers in accordance with contractual terms.industrial gases and related products. The Company evaluates each salealso generates revenue from refrigerant management services performed at a customer’s site and in-house. The Company conducts its business primarily within the US.

The Company applies the FASB’s guidance on revenue recognition, which requires the Company to ensure collectability.recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services transferred to its customers. In addition, each salemost instances, the Company’s contract with a customer is based on an arrangement with the customercustomer’s purchase order and the sales price to the customer is fixed. For certain customers, the Company may also enter into a sales agreement outlining a framework of terms and conditions applicable to future purchase orders received from that customer. Because the Company’s contracts with customers are typically for a single customer purchase order, the duration of the contract is usually less than one year. The Company’s performance obligations related to product sales are satisfied at a point in time, which may occur upon shipment of the product or receipt by the customer, depending on the terms of the arrangement. The Company’s performance obligations related to reclamation and RefrigerantSide® services are generally satisfied at a point in time when the service is performed. Accordingly, revenues are recorded upon the shipment of the product, or in certain instances upon receipt by the customer, or the completion of the service.

In July 2016 the Company was awarded, as prime contractor, a five-year contract, including a five-year renewal option, which has been exercised through July 2026, by the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) for the management, supply, and sale of refrigerants, compressed gases, cylinders, and related items.services. Due to the contract containing multiple elements,performance obligations, the Company assessed the arrangement in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements. ASC 605-25 addresses when and how a company that is providing more than one revenue generating activity or deliverable should separate and account for a multiple element arrangement.606-10-25-14. The Company determined that the sale of refrigerants and the management services provided under the contract each have stand-alone value, and accordingly revenuevalue. Accordingly, the performance obligation related to the sale of productrefrigerants is recognizedsatisfied at a point in time, mainly when the customer receives and obtains control of the product. The performance obligation related to management service revenue is satisfied over time of product shipment, and service revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement.

arrangement as the management services are provided.

Cost of sales is recorded based on the cost of products shipped or services performed and related direct operating costs of the Company'sCompany’s facilities.In general, the Company performs shipping and handling services for its customers in connection with the delivery of refrigerant and other products. The Company elected to implement ASC 606-10-25-18B, whereby the Company accounts for such shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. To the extent that the Company charges its customers shipping fees, such amounts are included as a component of revenue and the corresponding costs are included as a component of cost of sales.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed at statutory corporate income tax rates after adjusting income reported for financial statement purposes for certain items. Current income tax expense (benefit) reflects the tax results of revenues and expenses currently taxable or deductible. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for recording deferred income taxes, which provides for the establishmentrecognition of deferred tax assetassets or liability accountsliabilities, based on enacted tax rates and laws, for the differencedifferences between taxthe financial and financialincome tax reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities.   The tax benefit associated with the Company'sCompany’s net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) is recognized to the extent that the Company is expectedexpects to recognizerealize future taxable income. The

The Company fully reversed its existing valuation allowance of $15.1 million, with $11.6 million reversed during the first and second quarters of 2022, and the remaining $3.5 million through the third and fourth quarters of 2022. The conclusion that a valuation allowance was no longer needed was based on its expectationthe achievement of three years of cumulative pre-tax income, the utilization of the Company’s $29.3 million federal NOLs, which comprised a majority of the Company’s deferred tax assets, combined with estimates of future years’ pre-tax income that it will recognize future taxable income and adjusts its valuation allowance accordingly. were sufficient to realize the remaining deferred tax assets.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and2023, the Company had no federal NOLs, as the Company utilized all of its remaining federal NOLs during the year ended December 31, 2016, the net deferred tax asset was $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.


Certain states either do not allow or limit NOLs and as such2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company will be liable for certainhad state taxes. To the extent that the Company utilizes its NOLs, it will not pay tax on such income but may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In addition, to the extent that the Company’s net income, if any, exceeds the annual NOL limitation it will pay income taxes based on existing statutory rates. Moreover, as a result of a “change in control”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company’s ability to utilize its existing NOLs is subject to certain annual limitations. All the Company’s remaining NOLs of approximately $4.1$1.8 million, are subject to annual limitationsexpiring in various years. We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of $1.3 million.

Asour deferred tax assets on a result of an Internal Revenue Service audit, the 2013 and prior federal tax years have been closed. The Company operates in many states throughout the United States and, as of September 30, 2017, the various states’ statutes of limitations remain open for tax years subsequent to 2009. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, relating to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes.

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, by determining if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the Company believes it had no uncertain tax positions.

Estimates and Risks

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to makethe use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and footnotes. The Company considers these accounting estimates to be critical in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company uses information available at the time the estimates are made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. Additionally, these estimates may not ultimately reflect the actual amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

final transactions that occur. The Company utilizes both internal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that the assumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimates could differ from the original estimates.

Several of the Company'sCompany’s accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties, and estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management'smanagement’s judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, and valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its NOLsgoodwill and commitments and contingencies. With respect to trade accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. In determining the Company’s valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in the future.

The Company participates in an industry that is highly regulated, and changes in the regulations affecting ourits business could affect ourits operating results. Currently the Company purchases virgin hydrochlorofluorocarbonhydrofluorocarbon (“HCFC”HFC”) and hydrofluorocarbon (“HFC”hydrofluroolefin (‘HFO”) refrigerants and reclaimable, primarily HCFC,hydrochlorofluorocarbons (“HCFC”), HFC and chlorofluorocarbon (“CFC”), refrigerants from suppliers and its customers. Effective January 1, 1996, the Clean Air Act (the “Act”) prohibited the production of virgin CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants. Effective January 2004, the Act further limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants and federal regulations were enacted which established production and consumption allowances for HCFC refrigerants which imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out during the period 2010 through 2020, and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. In October 2014, the EPA published a final rule providing further reductions in the production and consumption allowances for virgin HCFC refrigerants for the years 2015 through 2019 (the “Final Rule”). In the Final Rule, the EPA has established a linear draw down for the production or importation of virgin HCFC-22 that started at approximately 22 million pounds in 2015 and reduces by approximately 4.5 million pounds each year and ends at zero in 2020. In October 2016, more than 200 countries, including the United States, agreed to amend the Montreal Protocol to phase down production of HFCs by 85% between now and 2047. The amendment establishes timetables for all developed and developing countries to freeze and then reduce production levels and use of HFCs, with the first reductions by developed countries starting in 2019.


To the extent that the Company is unable to source sufficient quantities of refrigerants or is unable to obtain refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or experiences a decline in demand and/or price for refrigerants sold by the Company, the Company could realize reductions in revenue from refrigerant sales, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results and its financial position. The process of sourcing refrigerants includes various procurement costs, such as freight, processing, insurance, and other costs, relating to the delivery of refrigerants. As a result of the recently noted global supply chain issues, the Company determined it could be exposed to incremental costs related to these refrigerant purchases. These costs represent the Company’s initial estimate that are possibly subject to finalization in future periods and are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings. The Company assesses the merit and potential liability associated with each of these proceedings. In addition, the Company estimates potential liability, if any, related to these matters. To the extent that these estimates are not accurate, or circumstances change in the future, the Company could realize liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results and its financial position.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. The Company noted no impairment indicators during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04) which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Under the new standard, a company will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. ASU 2017-04 does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test and still allows a company to perform the optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to Step 1. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for any impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017 and will apply its guidance on future impairment assessments.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of eliminating the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public

business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 as of December 31, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the presentation of the statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "FinancialMeasurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, - Credit Losses." Thiswhich revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope, and in November 2018, issued ASU requiresNo. 2018-19 and in April 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-04 and in May 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-05, and in November 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-11, which each amended the standard. The new standard introduces an organizationapproach, based on expected losses, to measure allestimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses formodel) applies to most financial assets heldmeasured at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions,amortized cost and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutionscertain other instruments, including trade and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform theirreceivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods therein. The Company does not expect the amended standard to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” Excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings rather than capital in excess of par value of stock on a prospective basis. A policy election will be available to account for forfeitures as they occur, with the cumulative effect of the change recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. Excess tax benefits within the consolidated statement of cash flows will be presented as an operating activity (prospective or retrospective application) and cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld for statutory tax withholding requirements will be presented as a financing activity (retrospective application). The guidance is effective beginning in 2017. Adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations.exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, andwith early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach isEntities are required for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. At a minimum, adoption of ASU 2016-02 will require recording a ROU asset and a lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet; however, the Company is still currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.


In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 prospectively in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a result, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been presented as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. There was no impact on its results of operations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17.

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, or ASU 2015-16. This amendment requires the acquirer in a business combination to recognize in thefirst reporting period in which adjustment amounts are determined, any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-16, an acquirer was required to restate prior period financial statements as of the acquisition date for adjustments to provisional amounts. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 are to be applied prospectively upon adoption.guidance is adopted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 in the fourth quarter of 2016.No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2015-16No. 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2014,August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue fromfor Convertible Instruments and Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)."

Note 2 - Fair Value

ASC Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based upon observable inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide information according to the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active markets from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities include certain unobservable inputs in the assumptions and projections used in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

12

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company'sCompany’s assessment of the significance of ana particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation methodologies used for the Company's financial instruments measured on a recurring basis at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth in the tables below.

Note 5 - Leases

The Company has various lease agreements with terms up to 11 years, including leases of buildings and various equipment. Some leases include options to purchase, terminate or extend for one or more years. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

At inception, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Some of the Company’s lease arrangements contain lease components (e.g. minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, charges, utilities and property taxes). The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows it to carry forward its historical lease classification, its assessment on whether a contract contains a lease, and its initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to the adoption of the new standard. The Company also elected to combine lease and non-lease components and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value, guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

13

Operating leases are included in Right of use asset, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Long-term lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense is recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Operating lease expense of $1.3 million, for both of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table presents information about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2023.

Note 67 - Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation represents the cost related to share-based awards, typically stock options or stock grants, granted to employees, non-employees, officers and directors. Share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the estimated aggregate fair value of the award on the grant date, and such amount is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. For the ninesix month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2016, the2022, share-based compensation expense of $28,000$1.8 million and $601,000,$0.6 million, respectively, is reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Bank Credit Line

On June 22, 2012, a subsidiary of Hudson entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as agent (“Agent” or “PNC”), and such other lenders as may thereafter become a party to the PNC Facility. The Maximum Loan Amount (as defined in the PNC Facility) at September 30, 2017 was $50,000,000, and the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount (as defined in the PNC Facility) was $46,000,000. In December 2016, the Company repaid all of its debt under the PNC Facility, with approximately $50 million of availability under the revolving line of credit at September 30, 2017. In addition, there is a $130,000 outstanding letter of credit under the PNC Facility at September 30, 2017. The Termination Date of the Facility (as defined in the PNC Facility) was June 30, 2020.

Under the terms of the original PNC Facility, as amended by the First Amendment to the PNC Facility, dated February 15, 2013, Hudson could initially borrow up to a maximum of $40,000,000 consisting of a term loan in the principal amount of $4,000,000 and revolving loans in a maximum amount up to $36,000,000. Amounts borrowed under the PNC Facility could be used by Hudson for working capital needs and to reimburse drawings under letters of credit. 

Interest on loans under the PNC Facility was payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to loans bearing interest at the domestic rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) and at the end of each interest period with respect to loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the PNC Facility) or, for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the PNC Facility) with an interest period in excess of three months, at the earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or (b) the end of the interest period. Interest charges with respect to loans were computed on the actual principal amount of loans outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans (as defined in the PNC Facility), the sum of the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the PNC Facility) plus one half of one percent (.50%) and (B) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one quarter of one percent (2.25%).

Hudson granted to PNC, for itself, and as agent for such other lenders as may thereafter become a lender under the PNC Facility, a security interest in Hudson’s receivables, intellectual property, general intangibles, inventory and certain other assets.

The PNC Facility contained certain financial and non-financial covenants relating to Hudson, including limitations on Hudson’s ability to pay dividends on common stock or preferred stock, and also included certain events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other obligations, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts, impairments to guarantees and a change of control. The PNC Facility contained a financial covenant to maintain at all times a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00, tested quarterly on a rolling twelve-month basis. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was defined in the PNC Facility, with respect to any fiscal period, as the ratio of (a) EBITDA of Hudson for such period, minus unfinanced capital expenditures (as defined in the PNC Facility) made by Hudson during such period, minus the aggregate amount of cash taxes paid by Hudson during such period, minus the aggregate amount of dividends and distributions made by Hudson during such period, minus the aggregate amount of payments made with cash by Hudson to satisfy soil sampling and reclamation related to environmental cleanup at the Company’s former Hillburn, NY facility during such period (to the extent not already included in the calculation of EBITDA as determined by the Agent) to (b) the aggregate amount of all principal payments due and/or made, except principal payments related to outstanding revolving advances with regard to all funded debt (as defined in the PNC Facility) of Hudson during such period, plus the aggregate interest expense of Hudson during such period. EBITDA as defined in the PNC Facility meant for any period the sum of (i) earnings before interest and taxes for such period plus (ii) depreciation expenses for such period, plus (iii) amortization expenses for such period, plus (iv) non-cash charges.

On July 1, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the PNC Facility (the “2015 PNC Amendment”). The 2015 PNC Amendment redefined the “Revolving Interest Rate” as well as the “Term Loan Rate” (as defined in the PNC Facility) as follows:

“Revolving Interest Rate” shall mean an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the PNC Facility) plus one half of one percent (.50%) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one quarter of one percent (2.25%) with respect to the Eurodollar Rate Loans.

“Term Loan Rate” shall mean an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus one half of one percent (.50%) with respect to the Domestic Rate Loans and (b) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one quarter of one percent (2.25%) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

On April 8, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to the PNC Facility (the “2016 PNC Amendment”). Pursuant to the 2016 PNC Amendment, the Maximum Loan Amount (as defined in the PNC Facility) increased from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000, and the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount (as defined in the PNC Facility) was increased from $36,000,000 to $46,000,000. Additionally, pursuant to the 2016 PNC Amendment the Termination Date of the Facility (as defined in the PNC Facility) was extended to June 30, 2020.


The Company was in compliance with all covenants, under the PNC Facility as of September 30, 2017.

The Company’s ability to comply with these covenants in future quarters may be affected by events beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions, weather conditions, regulations and refrigerant pricing. Although we expect to remain in compliance with all covenants in the PNC Facility, as amended, depending on our future operating performance and general economic conditions, we cannot make any assurance that we will continue to be in compliance.

Revolving Credit Facility

On January 16, 2015, theMarch 2, 2022, Hudson Technologies Company acquired certain assets of a supplier of refrigerants(“HTC”) and compressed gases, and also hired three employees associated with the business. The purchase price for this acquisition was $2.4 million cash paid at closing and the assumption of a liability of $20,000, and a maximum of an additional $3.0 million earn-out. The asset allocation was approximately $1.6 million of tangible assets, approximately $1.6 million of intangible assets, and approximately $2.3 million of goodwill.

As of December 31, 2015, the valuation and allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition was finalized. As part of that process it was determined that the deferred acquisition cost payable that had been previously recorded at the maximum earn out of $3.0 million per the purchase agreement was overstated by approximately $1.0 million. This adjustment to the deferred acquisition cost payable resulted in lowering the purchase price from approximately $5.4 million to approximately $4.4 million. The final valuation resulted in a reduction in goodwill by approximately $1.9 million, and increase in intangible assets of approximately $0.8 million and an increase in current assets of approximately $0.1 million. This final valuation, as well as the respective changes in the amortization of intangibles, was reflected in the December 31, 2015 financial statements. Please see table in Note 2 for a roll forward of the deferred acquisition cost. The final earnout payment was made during the first quarter of 2017.

The intangible assets are being amortized over a period ranging from two to ten years. The goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. The transaction also provides for additional employee compensation for years 2017 through 2019, based on certain revenue performance. The total additional employee compensation, if any, cannot exceed $3,000,000.

The results of the acquired business operations are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition, and are not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 9 – Subsequent Event

On October 10, 2017, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) from Airgas, Inc. (“Airgas”) of all of the outstanding stock of Airgas-Refrigerants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ARI”).

At closing, Holdings paid net cash consideration to Airgas of approximately $209 million, which includes preliminary post-closing adjustments relating to: (i) changes in the net working capital of ARI as of the closing relative to a net working capital target, (ii) the actual amount of specified types of R-22 refrigerant inventory on hand at closing relative to a target amount thereof, and (iii) other consideration pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The cash consideration paid by Holdings at closing was financed with available cash balances, plus $80 million of borrowings under an enhanced asset based lending facility of $150 million from PNC Bank and a new term loan of $105 million from funds advised by FS Investments and sub-advised by GSO Capital Partners LP.

The following table provides unaudited pro forma total revenues and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as if Hudson and ARI had been acquired on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to the acquisitions, such as a step-up in basis in inventory, amortization expense on intangible assets arising from the acquisition, and interest on the new loan. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost synergies or other effects of any planned integration. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisitions been completed at the beginning of 2016, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined companies.

The PNCAmended Wells Fargo Facility contains a fixed charge coverage ratiofinancial covenant requiring the Company to maintain at all times minimum liquidity (defined as availability under the Amended Wells Fargo Facility plus unrestricted cash) of at least $5 million, of which at least $3 million must be derived from availability. The Amended Wells Fargo Facility also contains a springing covenant, which takes effect only upon a failure to maintain undrawn availability of at least $11.25 million or upon an election by the Borrowers to increase the inventory component of the borrowing base, requiring the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, as of the end of each trailing period of twelve consecutive months commencing with the month prior to the triggering of the covenant.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements, contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the laws and regulations affecting the refrigerant industry, changes in the demand and price for refrigerants (including unfavorable market conditions adversely affecting the demand for, and the price of refrigerants), the Company's ability to source refrigerants, regulatory and economic factors, seasonality, competition, litigation, the nature of supplier or customer arrangements that become available to the Company in the future, adverse weather conditions, possible technological obsolescence of existing products and services, possible reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets, estimates of the useful life of its assets, potential environmental liability, customer concentration, the ability to obtain financing, any delays or interruptions in bringing products and services to market, the timely availability of any requisite permits and authorizations from governmental entities and third parties as well as factors relating to doing business outside the United States, including changes in the laws, regulations, policies, and political, financial and economic conditions, including inflation, interest and currency exchange rates, of countries in which the Company may seek to conduct business, the Company’s ability to successfully integrate ARI and any other assets it acquires from third parties into its operations, and other risks detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in the Company’s other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “may”, “plan”, “should” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Several of the Company's accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties and estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management's judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, and valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets relating to its net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) and commitments and contingencies. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company estimates the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical and anticipated trends of payment history and the ability of the customer to fulfill its obligations. For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. In determining the Company’s valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, the Company assesses its ability to generate taxable income in the future. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The Company tests for any impairment of goodwill annually unless indicators arise. Intangibles with determinable lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets currently ranging from 2 to 10 years. The Company reviews these useful lives annually to determine that they reflect future realizable value. The Company utilizes both internal and external sources to evaluate potential current and future liabilities for various commitments and contingencies. In the event that the assumptions or conditions change in the future, the estimates could differ from the original estimates.

Overview

Sales of refrigerants continue to represent a significant majority of the Company’s revenues. The Company’s refrigerant sales are primarily HCFC and HFC based refrigerants and to a lesser extent CFC based refrigerants that are no longer manufactured. Currently the Company purchases virgin HCFC and HFC refrigerants and reclaimable HCFC, HFC and CFC refrigerants from suppliers and its customers. Effective January 1, 1996, the Clean Air Act (the “Act”) prohibited the production of virgin CFC refrigerants and limited the production of virgin HCFC refrigerants, which production was further limited in January 2004. Federal regulations enacted in January 2004 established production and consumption allowances for HCFCs and imposed limitations on the importation of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants. Under the Act, production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out during the period 2010 through 2020, and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by 2030. In October 2014, the EPA published the Final Rule providing further reductions in the production and consumption allowances for virgin HCFC refrigerants for the years 2015 through 2019. In the Final Rule, the EPA has established a linear annual phase down schedule for the production or importation of virgin HCFC-22 that started at approximately 22 million pounds in 2015 and is being reduced by approximately 4.5 million pounds each year and ends at zero in 2020. In October 2016, more than 200 countries, including the United States, agreed to amend the Montreal Protocol to phase down production of HFCs by 85% between now and 2047. The amendment establishes timetables for all developed and developing countries to freeze and then reduce production levels and use of HFCs, with the first reductions by developed countries starting in 2019.

The Company has created and developed a service offering known as RefrigerantSide® Services. RefrigerantSide® Services are sold to contractors and end-users whose refrigeration systems are used in commercial air conditioning and industrial processing. These services are offered in addition to refrigerant sales and the Company's traditional refrigerant management services, which consist primarily of reclamation of refrigerants. The Company has created a network of service depots that provide a full range of the Company's RefrigerantSide® Services to facilitate the growth and development of its service offerings.


The Company focuses its sales and marketing efforts for its RefrigerantSide® Services on customers who the Company believes most readily appreciate and understand the value that is provided by its RefrigerantSide® Services offering. In pursuing its sales and marketing strategy, the Company offers its RefrigerantSide® Services to customers in the following industries: petrochemical, pharmaceutical, industrial power, manufacturing, commercial facility and property management and maritime. The Company may incur additional expenses as it further develops and markets its RefrigerantSide® Services offering.

Results of Operations

Three month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2016

Revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 were $24.7 million, a decrease of $10.2 million or 29% from the $34.9 million reported during the comparable 2016 period primarily due to a decline in refrigerant and related revenues. The decline in refrigerant and related revenues was mainly attributable to a decrease in the selling price per pound of certain refrigerants sold, which accounted for a decrease in revenues of $6.5 million, and a decrease in the number pounds of certain refrigerants sold, which accounted for a decrease in revenues of $3.7 million.

Cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 was $19.6 million or 79% of sales. The cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 was $22.9 million or 66% of sales. The increase in the cost of sales percentage from 66% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 to 79% for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the decrease in the selling price per pound of certain refrigerants sold for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Operating expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 were $3.6 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from the $4.0 million reported during the comparable 2016 period. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to higher stock compensation expense, earnout liability and professional fees in 2016, which was mainly offset by $1.0 million of nonrecurring fees relating to the acquisition of ARI incurred during the third quarter of 2017.

Interest expense, for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 was less than $0.1 million, compared to the $0.3 million reported during the comparable 2016 period. As a result of the paydown of the PNC Facility and December 2016 public offering during the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company incurred lower interest expense in the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 was a (benefit) of $0.7 million compared to income tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 of $3.0 million. The benefit in 2017 arose from $1.2 million of excess tax benefits relating to nonqualified stock option exercises during the third quarter of 2017.

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 was $2.1 million, a decrease of $2.7 million from the $4.8 million net income reported during the comparable 2016 period, primarily due to the decrease in revenues partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses and income tax expense.

Nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the Nine month period ended September 30, 2016

Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 were $115.8 million, an increase of $18.1 million or 18% from the $97.7 million reported during the comparable 2016 period. The increase in refrigerant and related revenues was mainly attributable to an increase in the selling price per pound of certain refrigerants sold, which accounted for an increase in revenues of $13.5 million, as well as an increase in the number of pounds of certain refrigerants sold, which accounted for an increase in revenues of $4.6 million.

Cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $80.8 million or 70% of sales. The cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was $67.6 million or 69% of sales. The increase in the cost of sales percentage from 69% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 to 70% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the increase in the cost per pound of certain refrigerants sold for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Operating expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 were $10.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million from the $8.9 million during the comparable 2016 period. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to $2.4 million of nonrecurring acquisition and related fees relating to the acquisition of ARI, which was consummated on October 10, 2017 offset by a decrease in stock compensation expense and earnout liability in 2017 compared to 2016.

Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $0.2 million compared to the $0.9 million reported during the comparable 2016 period. As a result of the paydown of the PNC Facility and December 2016 public offering during the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company incurred lower interest expense during the first nine months of 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016.

Income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $8.2 million compared to income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 of $7.7 million due to higher income for the period. The benefit in 2017 arose from $1.2 million of excess tax benefits relating to nonqualified stock option exercises during the third quarter of 2017.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $16.4 million, an increase of $3.8 million from the $12.6 million net income reported during the comparable 2016 period, primarily due to the increase in revenues partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2017, the Company had working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, of $115.2 million, an increase of $17.3 million from the working capital of $97.9 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to increased net income during the period.

Inventory and trade receivables are principal components of current assets. At September 30, 2017, the Company had inventories of $63.8 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from $68.6 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in the inventory balance is primarily due to the timing and availability of inventory purchases and the sale of refrigerants. The Company's ability to sell and replace its inventory on a timely basis and the prices at which it can be sold are subject, among other things, to current market conditions and the nature of supplier or customer arrangements and the Company's ability to source CFC based refrigerants (which are no longer being produced), HCFC refrigerants (which are currently being phased down leading to a full phase out of virgin production), or non-CFC based refrigerants. At September 30, 2017, the Company had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $13.9 million, an increase of $9.1 million from $4.8 million at December 31, 2016. The Company's trade receivables are concentrated with various wholesalers, brokers, contractors and end-users within the refrigeration industry that are primarily located in the continental United States.

The Company has historically financed its working capital requirements through cash flows from operations, the issuance of debt and equity securities, and bank borrowings.

At September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents was $44.0 million, or approximately $10.1 million higher than the $33.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, was $12.1 million compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $7.4 million for the comparable 2016 period. Net cash provided by operating activities in the 2017 period was primarily attributable to an increase in net income as well as timing in the Company’s accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, was $0.9 million compared with net cash used by investing activities of $0.9 million for the comparable 2016 period. The net cash used by investing activities for the 2017 and 2016 periods was primarily related to investment in general purpose equipment for the Company’s Champaign, Illinois facility.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, was $1.2 million compared with net cash used in financing activities of $3.8 million for the comparable 2016 period. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company made $1.2 million of tax payments for withholdings related to settlements of stock option awards. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company raised capital in a public offering and paid off the PNC Facility resulting in lower interest payments when compared to the same period in 2016. No additional borrowings were drawn during the first three quarters of 2017. During the first half of 2017, the Company also paid its final earnout relating to the 2015 acquisition of a supplier of refrigerants and compressed gases.

The Company continues to assess its capital expenditure needs. The Company may, to the extent necessary, continue to utilize its cash balances to purchase equipment primarily for its operations.

The following is a summary of the Company's significant contractual cash obligations for the periods indicated that existed as of September 30, 2017 (in 000’s):

Acquisition of ARI

On October 10, 2017, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hudson Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) from Airgas, Inc. (“Airgas”) of all of the outstanding stock of Airgas-Refrigerants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ARI”).

At closing, Holdings paid net cash consideration to Airgas of approximately $209 million, which includes preliminary post-closing adjustments relating to: (i) changes in the net working capital of ARI as of the closing relative to a net working capital target, (ii) the actual amount of specified types of R-22 refrigerant inventory on hand at closing relative to a target amount thereof, and (iii) other consideration pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The cash consideration paid by Holdings at closing was financed with available cash balances, plus $80 million of borrowings under an enhanced asset based lending facility of $150 million from PNC Bank and a new term loan of $105 million from funds advised by FS Investments and sub-advised by GSO Capital Partners LP.

Amendment and Restatement of Revolving Credit Facility

On October 10, 2017, Hudson Technologies Company (“HTC”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and HTC’s affiliates Hudson Holdings, Inc. and Airgas-Refrigerants, Inc., as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and the Company as a guarantor, became obligated under an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “PNC Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, collateral agent and lender (“Agent” or “PNC”), PNC Capital Markets LLC as lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and such other lenders as may thereafter become a party to the PNC Facility. The PNC Facility amended and restated HTC’s existing credit facility with PNC.

Under the terms of the PNC Facility, the Borrowers may borrow, from time to time, up to $150 million at any time consisting of revolving loans in a maximum amount up to the lesser of $150 million and a borrowing base that is calculated based on the outstanding amount of the Borrowers’ eligible receivables and eligible inventory, as described in the PNC Facility. The PNC Facility also contains a sublimit of $15 million for swing line loans and $5 million for letters of credit.

Amounts borrowed under the PNC Facility were used by the Borrowers to consummate the acquisition of ARI and for working capital needs, certain permitted future acquisitions, and to reimburse drawings under letters of credit. At October 10, 2017, total borrowings under the PNC Facility were $80 million.

Interest on loans under the PNC Facility is payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to loans bearing interest at the domestic rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) and at the end of each interest period with respect to loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) or, for Eurodollar rate loans with an interest period in excess of three months, at the earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar rate loan or (b) the end of the interest period. Interest charges with respect to loans are computed on the actual principal amount of loans outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to domestic rate loans, the sum of (i) a rate per annum equal to the higher of (1) the base commercial lending rate of PNC, (2) the federal funds open rate plus 0.5% and (3) the daily LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus (ii) between 0.50% and 1.00% depending on average quarterly undrawn availability and (B) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the sum of the Eurodollar rate plus between 1.50% and 2.00% depending on average quarterly undrawn availability.

Borrowers granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest in substantially all of Borrowers’ assets, including receivables, equipment, general intangibles (including intellectual property), inventory, subsidiary stock, real property, and certain other assets.

The PNC Facility contains a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.covenant and a leverage ratio covenant, each tested quarterly. The PNCfixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant requires compliance with specified levels of (i) EBITDA minus unfunded capital expenditures to (ii) interest expense, scheduled principal payments, and other specified payments, in each case as specified in the Term Loan Facility, for a trailing four quarter period. For the period ended June 30, 2023, the FCCR was 3.13 to 1.0 against a requirement of at least 1.10 to 1.0. The leverage ratio (“LR”) covenant is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The LR is the ratio of (i) funded debt as of such date minus the lesser of $15,000,000 or the Company’s unrestricted cash to (b) trailing twelve-month EBITDA, in each case as specified in the Term Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the LR was approximately 0.32 to 1.0, compared to the maximum of 4.00 to 1.0. The Term Loan Facility also contains customary non-financial covenants relating to the Company and the Borrowers, including limitations on Borrowers’ ability to pay dividends on common stock or preferred stock, and also includes certain events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other obligations, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts, impairments to guarantees and a change of control.

The commitments under the PNC Facility will expire and the full outstanding principal amount of the loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable in full on October 10, 2022, unless the commitments are terminated and the outstanding principal amount of the loans are accelerated sooner following an event of default.

In connection with the closing of the PNC Facility, the Company also entered into an Amended and Restated Guaranty and Suretyship Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2017 (the “Revolver Guarantee”), pursuant to which the Company affirmed its unconditional guarantee of the payment and performance of all obligations owing by Borrowers to PNC, as Agent for the benefit of the revolving lenders.

New Term Loan Facility

On October 10, 2017, HTC, and the Company, as guarantor, became obligated under a Term Loan Credit and Security Agreement (the “Term Loan Facility”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Term Loan Agent”) and funds advised by FS Investments and sub-advised by GSO Capital Partners LP and such other lenders as may thereafter become a party to the Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Lenders”).


Under the terms of the Term Loan Facility, the Borrowers have immediately borrowed $105 million pursuant to a term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and may borrow up to an additional $25 million for a period of eighteen months after closing to fund additional permitted acquisitions (the “Delayed Draw Commitment”, and together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loans”).

The Term Loans mature on October 10, 2023. Principal payments on the Term Loans are required on a quarterly basis, commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2018, in the amount of 1% of the original principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans per annum. The Term Loan Facility also requires annual payments of up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Facility) depending upon the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Facility) for the applicable year. The Term Loan Facility also requires mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in the event of certain asset dispositions, debt issuances, and casualty and condemnation events. The Term Loans may be prepaid at the option of the Borrowers at par in an amount up to $30 million. Additional prepayments are permitted after the first anniversary of the closing date subject to a prepayment premium of 3% in year two, 1% in year three and zero in year four and thereafter.

Interest on the Term Loans is generally payable on the earlier of the last day of the interest period applicable to such Eurodollar rate loan and the last day of the Term Loan Facility, as applicable. Interest is payable at the rate per annum of LIBOR plus 7.25%. The Borrowers have the option of paying 3.00% interest per annum in kind by adding such amount to the principal of the Term Loans during no more than five fiscal quarters during the term of the Term Loan Facility.

Borrowers and the Company granted to the Term Loan Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Lenders, a security interest in substantially all of their respective assets, including receivables, equipment, general intangibles (including intellectual property), inventory, subsidiary stock, real property, and certain other assets.

The Term Loan Facility contains a total leverage ratio covenant, tested quarterly. The Term Loan Facility also contains customary non-financial covenants relating to the Company and the Borrowers, including limitations on their ability to pay dividends on common stock or preferred stock, and also includes certain events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other obligations, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts, impairments to guarantees and a change of control.

In connection with the closing of the Term Loan Facility, the Company also entered into a Guaranty and SuretyshipSecurity Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2017March 2, 2022 (the “Term Loan Guarantee”), pursuant to which the Company affirmed its unconditional guarantee of the payment and performance of all obligations owing by Borrowers to Term Loan Agent, as agent for the benefit of the Term Loan Lenders.

The Term Loan Agent and the Agent have entered into an intercreditor agreement governing the relative priority of their security interests granted by the Borrowers and the Guarantor in the collateral, providing that the Agent shall have a first priority security interest in the accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts and certain other assets (the “Revolving Credit Priority Collateral”) and the Term Loan Agent shall have a first priority security interest in the equipment, real property, capital stock of subsidiaries and certain other assets (the “Term Loan Priority Collateral”).

Termination of Prior Term Loan Facility

BankIn conjunction with entry into the new Term Loan Facility as described above, on March 2, 2022 the Company’s then-existing term loans, as amended (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”), which had a principal balance of approximately $63.9 million after payment of a $16.0 million excess cash flow amount thereunder, were repaid in full, together with associated required lender fees and expenses of $3.3 million, and the Prior Term Loan Facility was terminated. The termination of the Prior Term Loan Facility constituted an extinguishment of debt, which resulted in the Company recording an additional $4.6 million of interest expense during the first quarter of 2022, which included the aforementioned $3.3 million of prior lender fees and expenses and $1.3 million of pre-existing deferred financing costs from the Prior Term Loan Facility.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants, under the Amended Wells Fargo Facility and the Term Loan Facility, as of June 30, 2023.

The Company’s ability to comply with these covenants in future quarters may be affected by events beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions, weather conditions, regulations and refrigerant pricing. Therefore, the Company cannot make any assurance that it will continue to be in compliance during future periods.

19

The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future from anticipated cash flows from operations and available funds under the Amended Wells Fargo Facility. Any unanticipated expenses, including, but not limited to, an increase in the cost of refrigerants purchased by the Company, an increase in operating expenses or failure to achieve expected revenues from the Company’s RefrigerantSide(R) Services and/or refrigerant sales or additional expansion or acquisition costs that may arise in the future would adversely affect the Company’s future capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company’s proposed or future plans will be successful, and as such, the Company may require additional capital sooner than anticipated, which capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Scheduled maturities of the Company’s long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as follows:

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements, contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the laws and regulations affecting the industry, changes in the demand and price for refrigerants (including unfavorable market conditions adversely affecting the demand for, and the price of refrigerants), the Company’s ability to source refrigerants, regulatory and economic factors, seasonality, competition, litigation, the nature of supplier or customer arrangements that become available to the Company in the future, adverse weather conditions, possible technological obsolescence of existing products and services, possible reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets, estimates of the useful life of its assets, potential environmental liability, customer concentration, the ability to obtain financing, the ability to meet financial covenants under our financing facilities, any delays or interruptions in bringing products and services to market, the timely availability of any requisite permits and authorizations from governmental entities and third parties as well as factors relating to doing business outside the United States, including changes in the laws, regulations, policies, and political, financial and economic conditions, including inflation, interest and currency exchange rates, of countries in which the Company may seek to conduct business, the Company’s ability to successfully integrate any assets it acquires from third parties into its operations, and other risks detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in the Company’s other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “may”, “plan”, “should” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Several of the Company’s accounting policies involve significant judgments, uncertainties and estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that actual results differ from management’s judgments and estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company. On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those estimates related to its inventory reserves, and for the deferred tax assets and goodwill and intangible assets.

Inventory

For inventory, the Company evaluates both current and anticipated sales prices of its products to determine if a write down of inventory to net realizable value is necessary. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal. The determination if a write-down to net realizable value is necessary is primarily affected by the market prices for the refrigerant gases we sell. Commodity prices generally are affected by a wide range of factors beyond our control, including weather, seasonality, the availability and adequacy of supply, government regulation and policies and general political and economic conditions. At any time, our inventory levels may be substantial and fluctuate, which will materially impact our estimates of net realizable value.

Goodwill

The Company has made acquisitions that included a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company applies the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, which among other things, requires the recognition of goodwill (which represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and identified intangible assets). We test our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (on the first day of the fourth quarter) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of an asset below its carrying value. Other intangible assets that meet certain criteria are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

An impairment charge is recorded based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. An impairment charge would be recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of a reporting unit. These impairment evaluations use many assumptions and estimates in determining an impairment loss, including certain assumptions and estimates related to future earnings. If the Company does not achieve its earnings objectives, the assumptions and estimates underlying these

21

impairment evaluations could be adversely affected, which could result in an asset impairment charge that would negatively impact operating results. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we completed our annual impairment test as of October 1 and determined in our qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, resulting in no goodwill impairment. There can be no assurances that future sustained declines in macroeconomic or business conditions affecting our industry will not occur, which could result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

There were no goodwill impairment losses recognized in 2022 or the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Other Intangibles

Intangibles with determinable lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets currently ranging from 6 to 13 years. The Company reviews these useful lives annually to determine that they reflect future realizable value. As described above, due to increased profitability, we believe that these other intangibles are fairly stated.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed at statutory corporate income tax rates after adjusting income reported for financial statement purposes for certain items. Current income tax expense (benefit) reflects the tax results of revenues and expenses currently taxable or deductible. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes, which provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities, based on enacted tax rates and laws, for the differences between the financial and income tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The tax benefit associated with the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) is recognized to the extent that the Company expects to realize future taxable income.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no federal NOLs, as the Company utilized all of its remaining federal NOLs during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had state tax NOLs of approximately $1.8 million, expiring in various years. We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s provision for income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $11.8 million. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was 25.4%.

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, by determining if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company believes it had no uncertain tax positions.

Overview

The Company is a leading provider of sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (“HVACR”) industry. For nearly three decades, we have demonstrated our commitment to our customers and the environment by becoming one of the United States’ largest refrigerant reclaimers through multimillion dollar investments in the plants and advanced separation technology required to recover a wide variety of refrigerants and restoring them to Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (“AHRI”) standard for reuse as certified EMERALD Refrigerants™.

The Company’s products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, and include refrigerant and industrial gas sales, refrigerant management services consisting primarily of reclamation of refrigerants and RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer’s site, which include system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants.

Sales of refrigerants continue to represent a significant majority of the Company’s revenues.

The Company also sells industrial gases to a variety of industry customers, predominantly to users in, or involved with, the US Military. In July 2016, the Company was awarded, as prime contractor, a five-year fixed price contract, including a five-year renewal option which has been exercised, awarded to it by the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) for the management and supply of refrigerants, compressed gases, cylinders and related items to US Military commands and installations, Federal civilian agencies and foreign militaries. Primary users include the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Our contract with DLA expires in July 2026.

Results of Operations

Three-month period ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2022

Revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 were $90.5 million, a decrease of $13.4 million or 12.9% from the $103.9 million reported during the comparable 2022 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower selling prices of certain refrigerants sold.

Cost of sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $53.8 million or 59% of sales. The cost of sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $46.4 million or 45% of sales. The increase in the cost of sales percentage from 45% to 59% is primarily due to higher cost of sales during the second quarter of 2023 as the purchase price of certain refrigerants increased during 2022, and lower selling prices.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 were $8.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million from the $7.0 million reported during the comparable 2022 period. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to increased headcount and stock compensation.

Amortization expense for both of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.7 million.

Interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $1.9 million, compared to the $2.6 million reported during the comparable 2022 period. Interest expense was lower during the second quarter of 2023 due to reduced debt resulting from the Company paying down approximately $68 million of debt between April 2022 and June 2023.

lower due to reduced debt resulting from the Company paying down principal on its term loan debt.

The income tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $6.6 million compared to income tax expense of $7.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2022. The key drivers of increased income tax expense are the reversal of valuation allowance during 2022 on federal NOLs that were fully utilized and can no longer reduce taxable income. Income tax expense for federal and state income tax purposes was determined by applying statutory income tax rates to pre-tax income after adjusting for certain items.

The net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $19.2 million, a decrease of $20.6 million from the $39.8 million of net income reported during the comparable 2022 period, primarily due to lower revenues and higher selling costs, as described above.

Six month period ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2022

Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 were $167.7 million, a decrease of $20.6 million or 11% from the $188.3 million reported during the comparable 2022 period. The decrease was attributable to both lower selling prices and volume of certain refrigerants sold.

Cost of sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $100.7 million or 60% of sales. The cost of sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $85.0 million or 45% of sales. The increase in the cost of sales percentage from 45% to 60% is primarily due to higher cost of sales during the first half of 2023 as the purchase price of certain refrigerants increased during 2022, and also the decrease in selling prices.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 were $15.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the $13.8 million reported during the comparable 2022 period. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to increased headcount and stock compensation.

Amortization expense for both six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.4 million.

Interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $3.7 million, compared to the $9.9 million reported during the comparable 2022 period. Interest expense was higher during the first half of 2022 due to the extinguishment of term loan debt, as described in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. In addition, interest expense was lower during the first half of 2023 due to reduced debt resulting from the Company paying down approximately $68 million of debt between April 2022 and June 2023.

The income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $11.8 million compared to income tax expense of $8.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The key drivers of increased income tax expense are the reversal of valuation

allowance during 2022 on federal NOLs that were fully utilized and can no longer reduce taxable income. Income tax expense for federal and state income tax purposes was determined by applying statutory income tax rates to pre-tax income after adjusting for certain items.

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $34.7 million, a decrease of $34.7 million from the $69.4 million of net income reported during the comparable 2022 period, primarily due to lower revenues and higher selling costs, as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital, which represents current assets less current liabilities, of $151.7 million, an increase of $27.5 million from the working capital of $124.2 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to continued profitability and the timing of borrowings, accounts receivable and inventory.

Inventories and trade receivables are principal components of current assets. At June 30, 2023, the Company had inventories of $134.4 million, a decrease of $11.0 million from $145.4 million at December 31, 2022. The Company’s ability to sell and replace its inventory on a timely basis and the prices at which it can be sold are subject, among other things, to current market conditions and the nature of supplier or customer arrangements and the Company’s ability to source CFC and HCFC based refrigerants (which are no longer being produced) and HFC refrigerants (virgin production currently in the process of being phased down) and HFO refrigerants.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $49.1 million, an increase of $28.2 million from $20.9 million at December 31, 2022, mainly due to increased sales. The Company’s trade receivables are concentrated with various wholesalers, brokers, contractors and end-users within the refrigeration industry that are primarily located in the continental United States. The Company has historically financed its working capital requirements through cash flows from operations, the issuance of debt and equity securities, and bank borrowings.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $21.2 million, when compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $33.9 million for the comparable 2022 period. As discussed above, selling prices of certain refrigerants declined in 2023.  Another contributory factor was the timing of accounts receivable and inventory balances.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $0.8 million compared with net cash used in investing activities of $0.8 million for the comparable 2022 period.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $14.3 million compared with net cash used in financing activities of $15.9 million for the comparable 2022 period. The Company refinanced its term loan debt during the first quarter of 2022, as described below, and also paid down a significant portion of its term loan during 2022 and 2023.

At June 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $11.4 million, or approximately $6.1 million higher than the $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022.

In connection with the closing of the Amended Wells Fargo Facility, the Company also entered into a First Amendment to Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2022 (the “Amended Revolver Guaranty and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and certain subsidiaries are continuing to unconditionally guarantee the payment and performance of all obligations owing by Borrowers to Wells Fargo, as Agent for the benefit of the revolving lenders. Pursuant to the Amended Revolver Guaranty and Security Agreement, Borrowers, the Company and certain other subsidiaries are continuing to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Wells Fargo Facility lenders, a security interest in Hudson’ssubstantially all of their respective assets, including receivables, intellectual property,equipment, general intangibles (including intellectual property), inventory, subsidiary stock, real property, and certain other assets.

The Amended Wells Fargo Facility contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain at all times minimum liquidity (defined as availability under the Amended Wells Fargo Facility plus unrestricted cash) of at least $5 million, of which at least $3 million must be derived from availability. The Amended Wells Fargo Facility also contains a springing covenant, which takes effect only upon a failure to maintain undrawn availability of at least $11.25 million or upon an election by the Borrowers to increase the inventory component of the borrowing base, requiring the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, as of the end of each trailing period of twelve consecutive months commencing with the month prior to the triggering of the covenant. The FCCR (as defined in the Wells Fargo Facility) is the ratio of (a) EBITDA for such period, minus unfinanced capital expenditures made during such period, to (b) the aggregate amount of (i) interest expense required to be paid (other than interest paid-in-kind, amortization of financing fees, and other non-cash interest expense) during such period, (ii) scheduled principal payments (but excluding principal payments relating to outstanding Revolving Loans under the Amended Wells Fargo Facility), (iii) all net federal, state, and local income taxes required to be paid during such period (provided, that any tax refunds received shall be applied to the period in which the cash outlay for such taxes was made), (iv) all restricted payments paid (as defined in the Amended Wells Fargo Facility) during such period, and (v) to the extent not otherwise deducted from EBITDA for such period, all payments required to be made during such period in respect of any funding deficiency or funding shortfall with respect to any pension plan. The FCCR covenant ceases after the Borrowers have been in compliance therewith for two consecutive months.


The PNCAmended Wells Fargo Facility contained certain financial andalso contains customary non-financial covenants relating to Hudson,the Company and the Borrowers, including limitations on Hudson’sthe Borrowers’ ability to pay dividends on common stock or preferred stock, and also includedincludes certain events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other obligations, events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgments in excess of specified amounts, impairments to guarantees and a change of control.

The PNCCompany evaluated the Amended Wells Fargo Facility containedin accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-50 to determine if the amendment was a financial covenantmodification or an extinguishment of debt and concluded that the amendment was a modification of the original revolving credit facility for accounting purposes. As a result, the Company capitalized an additional $0.9 million of deferred financing costs in connection with the amendment, which, along with the $0.2 million of remaining deferred financing costs of the original revolving facility, is being amortized over the five year term of the Amended Wells Fargo Facility.

The commitments under the Amended Wells Fargo Facility will expire and the full outstanding principal amount of the loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable in full on March 2, 2027, unless the commitments are terminated and the outstanding principal amount of the loans are accelerated sooner following an event of default or in the event of certain other cross-defaults.

The fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant requires compliance with specified levels of (i) EBITDA minus unfunded capital expenditures to (ii) interest expense, scheduled principal payments, and other specified payments, in each case as specified in the Term Loan Facility, for a trailing four quarter period. For the period ended June 30, 2023, the FCCR was 3.13 to 1.0 against a requirement of one percent (2.25%at least 1.10 to 1.0.

Termination of Prior Term Loan Facility

In conjunction with entry into the new Term Loan Facility as described above, on March 2, 2022 the Company’s then-existing term loans, as amended (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”), which had a principal balance of approximately $63.9 million after payment of a $16.0 million excess cash flow amount thereunder, were repaid in full, together with associated required lender fees and expenses of $3.3 million, and the Prior Term Loan Facility was increased from $36,000,000 to $46,000,000. Additionally, pursuant to the 2016 PNC Amendment the Termination Dateterminated.

Inflation

Inflation, historically or the recent rise, has not historically had a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s operations.

Reliance on Suppliers and Customers

The Company participates in an industry that is highly regulated, and changes in the regulations affecting our business could affect our operating results. Currently the Company purchases virgin HCFC and HFC refrigerants and reclaimable, primarily HCFC and CFC, refrigerants from suppliers and its customers. Under the Clean Air Act the phase-down of future production of certain virgin HCFC refrigerants commenced in 2010 and is scheduled to behas been fully phased out by the year 2020, and production of all virgin HCFC refrigerants is scheduled to be phased out by the year 2030. To the extent that the Company is unable to source sufficient quantities of refrigerants or is unable to obtain refrigerants on commercially reasonable terms or experiences a decline in demand and/or price for refrigerants sold by it, the Company could realize reductions in revenue from refrigerant sales, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial position.

For the ninesix month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, two customers each accounted2023 there was one customer accounting for greater than 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and inat June 30, 2023 there were $14.6 million of accounts receivable from this customer. For the aggregate these two customers accountedsix-month period ended June 30, 2022 there was no customer accounting for 37%10% of the Company’s revenues. At September 30, 2017, there were $4.3 million in outstanding receivables from these customers.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, two customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues and, in the aggregate these two customers accounted for 33% of the Company’s revenues. At September 30, 2016, there were no outstanding receivables from these customers.

The loss of a principal customer or a decline in the economic prospects of and/or a reduction in purchases of the Company'sCompany’s products or services by any such customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s operating results and financial position.

Seasonality and Weather Conditions and Fluctuations in Operating Results

The Company'sCompany’s operating results vary from period to period as a result of weather conditions, requirements of potential customers, non-recurring refrigerant and service sales, availability and price of refrigerant products (virgin or reclaimable), changes in reclamation technology and regulations, timing in introduction and/or retrofit or replacement of refrigeration equipment, the rate of expansion of the Company'sCompany’s operations, and by other factors. The Company'sCompany’s business is seasonal in nature with peak sales of refrigerants occurring in the first halfnine months of each year. During past years, the seasonal decrease in sales of refrigerants has resulted in losses particularly in the fourth quarter of the year. In addition, to the extent that there is unseasonably cool weather throughout the spring and summer months, which would adversely affect the demand for refrigerants, there would be a corresponding negative impact on the Company. Delays or inability in securing adequate supplies of refrigerants at peak demand periods, lack of refrigerant demand, increased expenses, declining refrigerant prices and a loss of a principal customer could result in significant losses. There can be no assurance that the foregoing factors will not occur and result in a material adverse effect on

the Company'sCompany’s financial position and significant losses. The Company believes that to a lesser extent there is a similar seasonal element to RefrigerantSide® Service revenues as refrigerant sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (ASU 2017-04) which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Under the new standard, a company will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. ASU 2017-04 does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test and still allows a company to perform the optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to Step 1. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for any impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017 and will apply its guidance on future impairment assessments.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of eliminating the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 as of December 31, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the presentation of the statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "FinancialMeasurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, - Credit Losses." Thiswhich revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope, and in November 2018, issued ASU requiresNo. 2018-19 and in April 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-04 and in May 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-05, and in November 2019, issued ASU No. 2019-11, which each amended the standard. The new standard introduces an organizationapproach, based on expected losses, to measure allestimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses formodel) applies to most financial assets heldmeasured at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions,amortized cost and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutionscertain other instruments, including trade and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform theirreceivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods therein. The Company does not expect the amended standard to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.


In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” Excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings rather than capital in excess of par value of stock on a prospective basis. A policy election will be available to account for forfeitures as they occur, with the cumulative effect of the change recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption. Excess tax benefits within the consolidated statement of cash flows will be presented as an operating activity (prospective or retrospective application) and cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld for statutory tax withholding requirements will be presented as a financing activity (retrospective application). The guidance is effective beginning in 2017. Adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations.exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, andwith early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach isEntities are required for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after,to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. At a minimum, adoption of ASU 2016-02 will require recording a ROU asset and a lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet; however, the Company is still currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 prospectively in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a result, all deferred tax assets and liabilities have been presented as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. There was no impact on its results of operations as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-17.

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, or ASU 2015-16. This amendment requires the acquirer in a business combination to recognize in thefirst reporting period in which adjustment amounts are determined, any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-16, an acquirer was required to restate prior period financial statements as of the acquisition date for adjustments to provisional amounts. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 are to be applied prospectively upon adoption.guidance is adopted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 in the fourth quarter of 2016.No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of the provisions of ASU 2015-16No. 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2014,August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue fromfor Convertible Instruments and Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)."

The standard requires that a company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflectsEntity’s Own Equity”, which is intended to simplify the consideration to which a company expects to be entitledaccounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in exchangeSubtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for those goods or services. This ASUconvertible instruments.

The adoption of this standard to beASU 2022-06 did not have a material to theimpact on our financial statements.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates on the PNCAmended Wells Fargo Facility and on the Term Loan Facility. The PNCAmended Wells Fargo Facility is a $50,000,000$90,000,000 secured facility. Interest on loans under the PNC Facility is payable in arrears on the first day of each monthfacility with respect to loans bearing interest at the domestic rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) and at the end of each interest period with respect to loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar rate (as set forth in the PNC Facility) or, for Eurodollar rate loans with an interest period in excess of three months, at the earlier of (a) each three months from the commencement of such Eurodollar rate loan or (b) the end of the interest period. Asa $15,000,000 outstanding balance as of June 30, 2017, interest charges with respect to loans are computed on the actual principal amount2023. The Term Loan Facility has a balance of loans outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to (A) with respect to Domestic Rate Loans (as defined in the PNC Facility), the sum of the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the PNC Facility) plus one half of one percent (.50%) and (B) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the sum of the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one quarter of one percent (2.25%). The outstanding balance on the PNC Facility$17,488,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was $0.2023. Future interest rate changes on our borrowing under the PNCTerm Loan Facility and the new term LoanAmended Wells Fargo Facility may have an impact on our consolidated results of operations.

If the loan bearing interest rate changed by 1%, the annual effect on interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million as of June 30, 2023.

Refrigerant Market
