“Despite the challenges presented by the global pandemic, we are emerging not only stronger and more refined, but remain tenacious in our approach to ‘build back better’ for TEI and its stakeholders.”Said
“Withcorporate offices in three countries and employees in seven countries, wetook full advantage of the slowdown period to streamline our processes and better align our global capabilities. We are already reaping the benefits of greater connectivity and collaboration as we proceed into the new normal. We also launched an extensive company-wide training and knowledge-sharing program which forms part of our ongoing commitment to upskilling our team. All these initiatives were designed to ensure the Company emerged from this period stronger and ready to respond to marketplace changes.”
“Despite the ongoing global pandemic, our GEMTM and HeatSponge product lines are already performing well ahead of pre-pandemic levels. Order intake this year for the Company’s proprietary GEMTM steam trap technology was the highest in the Company’s history and more than 25% greater than each of the last two years. Meanwhile, order value for HeatSponge products was also a record, 28% ahead of last year and 47% greater than the year before. We also moved into a new administrative, engineering and manufacturing facility in
But of course, this year was not without its difficulties. Our turnkey solutions in particular were significantly impacted. Delivering our unique combination of proprietary products and solutions together withonsite engineering, design, and installation is very challenging when COVID-19 mitigation measures that restrict travel and on-site visitation are in place. In addition, given their sizeand complexity, thesales cycle for turnkey projectsis extendedas they not only require site specific design and development but must also align with the customers’ capital budgeting and production cycles.”

“We also continue to have a very strong financial position with cash and working capital balances of
“Given these record results from our BEI and GEMTM product categories, paired with the encouraging pipeline, order entry and order backlog, I am reassured by the combined strength of our diverse product portfolio and its ability to provide our customers with the solutions and support they need.”
“The high-profile and wide-spread demand to drive toward “net-zero” is intensifying pressure on global industries to decarbonize their operations. Governments and corporations alike are readjusting their carbon reduction and net-zero goals as citizens and consumers demand more be done to reduce carbon emissions.”
“Taking care to truly understand our customer’s production cycles and processes has enabled us to confidently deliver our energy savings time and time again, and help our customers achieve their carbon reduction goals. This will allow us to leverage existing customer relationships across a number of global markets, such as the hospitals and healthcare systems across
“With a European hospital and healthcare customer, our high efficiency, low maintenance GEM™ steam traps are already installed at three of the customer’s sites, and as of
“In the case of a multinational food products corporation, just one year on from the installation of our first heat recovery unit, we received a second FLU-ACE® heat recovery system order reaching a combined project value worth
“Leveraging existing customer relationships remains a key part of our growth strategy.”

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to, and amongst other things, based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections, the anticipated effectiveness of the Company’s products and services, the timing of revenues to be received by the Company, the anticipated effects of COVID-19 on the business, backlog and revenue, the expectation that orders in backlog will become revenue and the anticipated benefits of the Company’s current efforts at training and business improvement efforts. Information as to the amount of heat recovered, energy savings and payback period associated with Thermal Energy International’s products are based on the Company’s own testing and average customer results to date. Statements relating to the expected installation and revenue recognition for projects, statements about the anticipated effectiveness and lifespan of the Company’s products, statements about the expected environmental effects and cost savings associated with the Company’s products and statements about the Company’s ability to cross-sell its products and sell to more sites are forward looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control, could cause events and results to differ materially from those stated. Fulfilment of orders, installation of product and activation of product could all be delayed for a number of reasons, some of which are outside of the Company’s control, which would result in anticipated revenues from such projects being delayed or in the most serious cases eliminated. Actions taken by the Company’s customers and factors inherent in the customer’s facilities but not anticipated by the Company can have a negative impact on the expected effectiveness and lifespan of the Company’s products and on the expected environmental effects and cost savings expected from the Company’s products. Any customer’s willingness to purchase additional products from the Company and whether orders in the Company’s backlog as described above will turn into revenue is dependent on many factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control, including but not limited to the customer’s perceived needs and the continuing financial viability of the customer. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any such statements except as required by law. Readers are referred to the risk factors associated with the Company’s business as described in the Company’s most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis available atwww.SEDAR.com.
EBITDAS and backlog are non-IFRS financial measures, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Please refer to the Company’s most recentManagement’s Discussion and Analysis available at www.SEDAR .com for more details about these non-IFRS financial measures.
