For 2012, the Company reported income tax expense in the amount of $1,395,000, based upon federal and state income taxes of $5,395,000, partially offset by the recognition of $4,000,000 for the Company’s deferred tax asset. The Company reported net income of $12,801,000, or $0.54 per basic share and $0.49 per diluted share in 2012, compared to net income of $1,034,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share in the same period of 2011.

Kevin J. Zugibe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, “We are very pleased with our financial results for 2012, having achieved record revenues and record profitability. Our financial performance continues to be favorably impacted by the EPA’s support of the growth of reclamation and recycling through regulatory actions that have mandated annual reductions in the production of virgin R-22 refrigerant. As we previously reported, last month the EPA revised and extended the ‘No Action Assurance’ issued in January 2012 to further reduce the 2013 levels of R-22 when compared to 2012. We are pleased with EPA’s No Action Assurance, which has already had a positive impact on pricing, and we believe that we are well positioned for another year of strong results. As the EPA continues to make progress toward the complete phase out of R-22, we believe we will continue to see growth in the reclamation market, with recovered refrigerants filling the supply gap created with the limitation of virgin R-22 production.
