Forward guidance

Hudson Technologies expects the EPA's final rule on HFC allowances, mandated by the AIM Act, to impact the industry. The company believes it is well-positioned to capture market share through its reclamation capabilities and distribution network as the HFC supply tightens.

Tailwinds

  • Hudson received an allocation allowance for calendar year 2022 equal to approximately 3 million Metric Tons Exchange Value Equivalents.
  • The reduction in virgin HFC supply is expected to accelerate reclamation activity.
  • Hudson believes it is competitively positioned through its reclamation capabilities and robust distribution network.
  • The company's technology can service and reclaim any refrigerant, including next-generation HFOs.
  • Hudson supports the global efforts to transition to more environmentally friendly gases.

Headwinds

  • There has been a significant disruption in the supply chain, affecting product availability and transportation.
  • Reduced demand volume due to a focus on higher-margin customers.
  • Slower than expected reopening of businesses impacted demand volume.
  • Allowances for 2023 and beyond are yet to be determined.
  • Subsequent allowances must establish a 40% reduction in virgin production and importation from the current baseline, in 2024.
