DURHAM, NC / ACCESSWIRE / November 1, 2022 / 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ:SCWO), a global cleantech and social impact company, today provides a business update and reports its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
The third quarter was marked by meaningful progress. Q3 and YTD Highlights:
- Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.9 million compared to $19,000 for the same quarter of 2021, an increase of 4,756%.
- Entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Forever Water Ecuador to promote and distribute 374Water's innovative and sustainable AirSCWO™ wastewater and waste management technology in Ecuador. According to Ecuadorian government statistics, 14% of the population lack access to basic sanitation services, which heightens the need for sanitation infrastructure investment. This joint effort will provide long-term and sustainable waste management solutions to the urban and rural underserved regions of Ecuador.
- Participated in the Goldman Sachs Water Symposium
- 374Water and its manufacturing partner Merrell Bros., advanced the development of the AirSCWO™ 6 system - a decentralized, prefabricated, compact, and modular solution for sustainable wet waste management. Manufacturing of the first commercial units, which have already been sold, is underway and expected to be completed in Q4 2022.
Kobe Nagar, CEO of 374Water Inc. commented, "Strong momentum since commercializing our technology in February 2022, continues. In Q3, we announced an MOU with Forever Water Ecuador to help solve sanitation in Latin America. Additionally, we progressed development of The AirSCWO™ 6 system for Orange County Sanitation District (OC San), expected to be completed in the 4th quarter of 2022, and to become operational in 2023. Mr. Nagar continued, "The market opportunity development is enormous and we are dedicated to delivering our newly commercial units that treat waste and eliminate pollutants. In fact, PFAS, the ‘forever chemical' is estimated to be present in more than 57,000 sites in the U.S. alone, representing a trillion dollar market opportunity. PFAS is just a single vertical for our solutions. Considering OC San, our partnerships with Merrell Bros, ESC, MOUs with Ecuador and Midway and numerous addressable verticals, set ourselves to drive substantial shareholder value in the near and long term."
Third Quarter ended September 30, 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.9 million compared to $19,000 for the same quarter of 2021, an increase of 4,756%. The increase in revenue during 2022 was primarily as a result of recognizing a portion of the revenue associated with the sale of our first AirSCWO™ system.
General and administrative expenses were $387,018 in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $143,147 in the third quarter of 2022. The change in the quarter is primarily associated with our increased insurance costs, marketing and business development expenses, dues and subscriptions, and stock-based compensation expenses.
Research and development expenses were $118,253 in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $115,936 in the third quarter of 2021. The change in the quarter is primarily associated with the increase in engineering expenses attributed to the design of the AirSCWO™ 30 - which has a capacity of 30 wet tonne / day, a 5x scale up of the AirSCWO™ 6 system.
Net loss was $(912,826), or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $ (551,959) million, or $(0.01) per basic diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021.
Total cash and investments were $8,402,255 as of September 30, 2022, compared to $11,131,175 at December 31, 2021. Total current assets were $9,864,788 and current liabilities were $1,262,157 as of the same date, compared to $ 11,349,641 and $86,371 respectively, in the year-ended reporting period.
