FuelCell Energy: High operating costs widened the losses

FuelCell Energy said revenue growth in the second quarter was not able to offset higher operating expenses and marginal pressures that widened the quarter.

The high-temperature fuel cell maker posted a net loss of $ 30 million for the quarter to April 30, compared with a loss of $ 18.9 million a year ago.

In terms of earnings per share, net losses stood at 8 cents, compared to 6 cents a year ago. Analysts expected losses of 5 cents per share.

Revenue rose 17% to $ 16.4 million, mainly due to a 300% increase in revenue from service agreements along with revenue from higher output.

Revenue from contracts from the advanced technology department was reduced by one third.
