President and CEO of FuelCell, Chip Bottone, stated that the gross margin nearly doubled this quarter compared to the prior year period on lower revenue, as the company aligns the operating model of the business with market opportunities, including cost reductions, production efficiency improvements, and enhancing the profitability profile of the Services and Advanced Technology groups. He asserted that the company remains focused on top-line revenue growth with projects progressing in its utility and on-site markets, as well as measurable progress being made with commercializing both its carbon capture and distributed hydrogen solutions.

For Q1 FY15, FuelCell's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled ($4.08) million compared with adjusted EBITDA of ($6.29) million in Q1 FY14.
