Fiscal 2022 Revenue Increases 32 Percent to $3.5 Million as Compared to $2.7 Million Last Year

Fiscal 2022 Net Income After Taxes of $289,000 as Compared to a $302,000 Net Loss Last Year

ALGONA, IA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2022 / American Power Group Corporation ("APG") (OTC Pink:APGI) announced the unaudited results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

Chuck Coppa, APG's CEO/CFO stated, "Unaudited net revenue for fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, increased by $848,000 or 32 percent to $3,531,000 as compared to $2,683,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Our gross margin improved to 48 percent as compared to last year's 39 percent primarily due to increased revenue and a $130,000 reduction in non-cash capitalized software amortization during fiscal 2022. Our penetration into the oil/gas fracking market over the past several years has been the primary revenue driver with the fiscal 2022 revenue increase attributable to follow-on orders from our lead dealer/installer. We currently have $4+ million of outstanding stationary conversion quotes spread among several of our dealers/installers."

Mr. Coppa added, "Our unaudited net income after income taxes was $289,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 as compared to an unaudited net loss after taxes of $302,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The results for fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, include other income of $158,000 and $154,000, respectively, associated with the forgiveness of our Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program loans."

Mr. Coppa concluded, "We continue our efforts to strengthen our balance sheet and have reduced our overall corporate debt over the past 24 months by approximately $6.7 million, including $2.0 million of long-term debt and the conversion of approximately $4.7 million of convertible debt and accrued interest, in the aggregate, at $0.25 per share. We anticipate filing our Fiscal 2022 Annual Report with the OTC Markets prior to the end of December 2022 and do not anticipate any material changes in our results as noted above."

Matt Van Steenwyk, APG's Chairman noted, "While we have made significant progress over the past several years to solidify APG's financial position, this past year's efforts have been focused on increasing market awareness and branding of our V6000 dual fuel vehicular solution which we believe to potentially be the most game changing aspect of our business especially from a decarbonization perspective. There are approximately 2 million Class 8 diesel trucks operating with the latest OEM emission technology in the U.S. and assuming they run 125,000 miles per year they will consume an estimated 40 billion gallons of diesel per year. With our APG V6000 dual fuel solution operating at a minimum 50% displacement rate, we could reduce that annual consumption of diesel by 20 billion gallons annually if implemented across this segment of the Class 8 long-haul market. In addition, assuming an estimated CO2 reduction of 500 metric tons per truck per year utilizing APG's V6000 dual fuel solution and dairy RNG, the potential positive impact on the environment would be in the range of 1 billion metric tons of CO2 reduction per year in addition to meaningful net fuel savings to the operator. This is a powerful message in today's environment that we are taking to the market".
