Energy Recovery Achieves Record-Breaking Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Product Revenue
SAN LEANDRO, Calif. - February 24, 2022 - Energy Recovery, Inc. (Nasdaq:ERII) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Company achieved 13% product revenue growth for the fiscal
year 2021 across all business segments.
“We are pleased to report another year of record revenue in 2021. This achievement reflects the important role our products play in reliably delivering energy and cost savings, as well as emissions reduction for critical industries. Additionally, our performance highlights the ability of our team to adapt and perform at the highest level, despite the many challenges presented by the global pandemic,” said Robert Mao, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Recovery.
“We are well down the clear and disciplined path we defined two years ago for our industrial wastewater treatment and refrigeration businesses. We have announced multiple contracts for the Ultra PX™ for use in multiple industrial wastewater treatment applications. Furthermore, we are in discussions with several refrigeration rack manufacturers in North America and Europe and have signed our first agreement with one of these manufacturers for the joint development of a PX-centric next generation CO2 system utilizing our PX G1300,” Mr. Mao continued.
“Energy Recovery’s core strategy remains focused on accelerating the achievement of greater sustainability in critical industries with our PX technology. We are delivering on this promise, and through continuing innovation and dedication to delivering results, we are poised to continue our growth in the years to come.”

“We comfortably exceeded our guidance for the year by 3% following historic high fourth quarter revenue. In addition, operating expenditures were only 55% of product revenue, which is a significant decrease from 2020 and within guidance,” said Joshua Ballard, Chief Financial Officer of Energy Recovery. “Operating cash flow remained largely in line with 2020 even after making significant investments in inventories to protect against supply chain disruptions and growing inflation. We continue to show improvement in our base operations, increasing profitability and cash flows as we follow through on our strategy of disciplined growth. Overall, a very strong financial year for Energy Recovery.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Business Highlights
Water Segment
1.We successfully balanced supply chain challenges to deliver recording-breaking product revenue of $33.6 million.
2.Product gross margin came within guidance and in-line with recent quarters. We continue to invest in improving our PX devices and modernizing our manufacturing to ensure continued high-quality production with even greater efficiency.
3.Operating expenses in this segment increased quarter-over-quarter due primarily to an increase in employee-related costs and R&D expenses.
Emerging Technologies Segment
1.We continued our efforts to advance our overall PX and CO2 commercial refrigeration technology as well as to prepare and enhance our production, safety and testing measures for successful deployment of our first CO2 commercial installation.
2.Operating expenses in this segment increased quarter-over-quarter, due primarily to an increase in expenditures for development of industrial and commercial refrigeration, including higher employee-related costs, partially offset by lower VorTeq-related expenses.
Fiscal Year 2021 Business Highlights
1.New large greenfield plant installations and brownfield retrofits, and plant level resupply of critical components drove product revenues to exceed $100 million.
2.Announced the first contract of our PX G1300 to a U.S. supermarket chain.
3.Announced contracts to supply the Ultra PX to support the IWW treatment operations of two Chinese lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities, as well as contracts with chemical manufacturing, landfill leachate and natural gas plants in China.
4.Announced our joint-marketing effort with a global leader in purification and specialty-separation technologies, to spread the knowledge of advanced solutions improving the efficiency of many industrial wastewater treatment systems and the benefits of pairing our Ultra PX with third-party membranes in industrial wastewater treatment systems.
5.Entered into a new $50 million credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in December 2021 to replace our existing $16 million loan and pledge agreement with Citibank, N.A. This new credit agreement will provide us with additional capital for growth and expansion into emerging markets utilizing our pressure exchanger technology.
Bottom Line Summary
On a quarterly basis, we reported a net income of $5.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net income of $3.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020.
On an annual basis, we reported a net income of $14.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net income of $26.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020, which included license and development revenue of $26.9 million related to the VorTeq License Agreement which was terminated in 2020.
Cash Flow Highlights
The Company finished the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 with cash and cash equivalents of $74.4 million, and short-term and long-term investments of $33.6 million, which represents a combined total of $108.0 million. In the third quarter of 2021, we began shifting our investment strategy from holding cash in money market funds to investing in debt securities due to the strengthening of the economic environment.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this press release and on the conference call are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the Company’s belief that the Company’s products play an important role in reliably delivering energy, emissions and cost savings for critical industries; that the Company is well down the clear and disciplined path for our industrial wastewater treatment and refrigeration business; and that we are poised to continue our growth in the years to come. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and on management’s beliefs, assumptions, estimates, or projections and are not guarantees of future events or results. Potential risks and uncertainties include any other factors that may have been discussed herein regarding the risks and uncertainties of the Company’s business, and the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as other reports filed by the Company with the SEC from time to time. Because such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from the predictions in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of today, and the Company assumes no obligation to update such statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions, and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
