Factors to Note

The industry has been witnessing continued strength in the average selling prices of certain refrigerants. This is being fueled by heightened demand while supply remains limited for these refrigerants.

Hudson Technologies has been reporting improvement in volumes since the first quarter of 2022 due to changes in certain sales strategies, which positively impacted its end markets and overall demand for refrigerants. The company’s third-quarter 2022 top-line performance might have benefited from this uptrend in selling prices and elevated volumes.

The combination of higher selling prices without a material appreciation in the cost of certain refrigerants sold has been boosting HDSN’s margin performance in the past few quarters and is expected to have aided margins in the third quarter as well. However, considering the ongoing global supply-chain issues, the company might have been subject to incremental costs related to refrigerant purchases.
