Financial Results

Revenues

Xebec posted revenues of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, a 28.3% increase compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase is mainly explained by the revenues in the associated gas segment since the Company had no contract in 2013 for the corresponding period.

Revenues were $6.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $6.6 million for the corresponding period. This decrease is due mainly to the $1.1 million decrease in sales of custom biogas plants and Hydrogen PSAs, partly offset with a $0.5 million increase in the associated gas segment as explained above.

Order Backlog

As of August 28, 2014, total order backlog stood at $6.7 million, compared to $5.6 million as at August 14, 2013. Part of the increase in the backlog is explained by the increased orders for our NGX products.

Gross Margin

Xebec's gross margin for the second quarter of 2014 amounted to $1.0 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2013. The increase versus the same period last year is mostly explained by the negative margin incurred on a biogas project completed during the previous corresponding quarter and better margins realized on the associated gas segment.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the total gross margin amounted to $1.6 million, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2013. Margins were affected negatively in 2013 by a $200,000 provision for an ongoing biogas project in Asia and by the completion of a biogas project with a negative margin.

EBITDA and Net loss

The EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 amounted to $(0.6) million compared to $(0.2) million in the second quarter of 2013. The reduction is mainly explained by the additional non-recurring $0.5 million gross proceeds received in the previous corresponding quarter for the remaining milestone related to the sale of the IP portfolio to Air Products.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the EBITDA amounted to $(1.4) million compared to $(1.2) million for the same period in 2013. The EBITDA decline reflects primarily the $0.5 million non-recurring gain on the additional proceeds in Q2-2013 as mentioned above. Furthermore, the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 shows better margins realized on slightly fewer sales to those of the comparative period in 2013.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $0.7 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per share for the same 2013 period. The slight increase in net loss is explained by with an increase in research and development expenses of $0.04 million, the increase in selling and administrative expense of $0.1 million related to professional fees incurred to create Xebec Adsorption USA Inc. ("Xebec USA"). It is also explained by a non-recurring gain of $0.5 million in Q2-2013 due to the additional proceeds pursuant to the agreement with Air Product and an increase in net financial expenses for the additional royalty of $0.06 million related to agreement mentioned above.

Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $1.6 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, for the same period in 2013. Compared to the same period in 2013, the gross margin increased by $0.8 million, while research and development expenses and selling and administrative expenses, each increased by $0.1 million. The increase of the net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 is also explained by the aforementioned non-recurring gain of $0.5 million in Q2-2013.

Selling and administrative expenses were $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $1.5 million for the same period last year. The increased is mainly due to higher professional fees incurred for the creation of Xebec USA.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the selling and administrative expenses were $3.0 million, compared to $2.9 million for the same period last year. The increase is explained by the aforementioned professional fees.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $1.3 million of cash on hand, $0.1 million of bank loan and $0.8 million of long-term debt outstanding, of which $0.3 million is due within one year
