Kevin J. Zugibe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, “We are pleased to report record revenues achieved during the third quarter and continued strong profitability. We are also pleased to note that our nine month revenues surpass our record 2011 full year revenues. Our 2012 year to date performance continues to be favorably impacted by the EPA’s initiative to support the growth of reclamation and recycling by providing meaningful reductions in the production of virgin R-22 refrigerant. In January 2012, the EPA issued ‘No Action Assurance’ letters that, pending the issuance of a final rule, reduced the 2012 import and production levels for virgin R-22 to approximately 45% of the amount allowed in 2011. In response to these reductions, we saw an immediate and significant increase in the sales price of R-22 refrigerant. With only two months remaining in 2012, the EPA’s final rule may not be issued until early 2013.
