Hudson Technologies Inc
Hudson Technologies sells refrigerants and related services for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. Its core business is buying, reclaiming, testing, and reselling refrigerant gases that are used in commercial and industrial cooling equipment. The company also helps customers manage these gases more efficiently and handle older refrigerants that are being phased out. Its main customers are contractors, wholesalers, building operators, supermarkets, industrial users, and other businesses that maintain large cooling systems. Hudson makes money by selling refrigerant products and by charging for refrigerant reclamation, recovery, and other support services. In simple terms, it sits in the middle of the refrigerant supply chain and helps customers source the right gas, reuse what can be reused, and dispose of the rest properly. What makes Hudson’s business different is that it is tied to both equipment maintenance and environmental regulation. As older refrigerants become harder to use and more expensive to handle, customers need a reliable partner that can recover, clean, and resell refrigerant instead of relying only on new production. That gives Hudson a niche role in a market where technical know-how, compliance, and supply access all matter.

Revenue: Hudson reported first-quarter revenue of $60.2 million, up 9% year over year and better than management expected, helped by strong volume, firmer pricing, and unusually warm weather in the Southwest.
Margins: Gross margin came in at 20%, down from 22% last year, mainly because last year had a richer mix of higher-margin HFO refrigerants; management still expects margins to improve as the season progresses.
ERP Costs: The new ERP system created meaningful extra SG&A expense in the quarter, and management said the system is now functional and should not cause major disruptions going forward.
Outlook: For the rest of the year, Hudson expects higher volume but weaker pricing versus last year because the 454B shortage boosted comparisons in Q2 and Q3 of 2025.
Strategic Push: The company highlighted management, board, and sales organization changes, plus a new license agreement for next-generation refrigerants, as part of its effort to diversify revenue and reduce seasonality.
Cash Use: Hudson ended the quarter with $19 million of cash, bought back $2.5 million of stock, and said it will keep using opportunistic repurchases while also looking for strategic opportunities.
