OTTAWA, ONTARIO – May 27, 2020 – Thermal Energy International Inc. (“Thermal Energy or the “Company”) (TSXV: TMG), has announced its financial results for the third quarter ended February 29, 2020. All figures are in Canadian dollars. Third quarter and year-to-date highlights:
“The third quarter was an extremely encouraging and exciting quarter for Thermal Energy. After our previous record breaking results, quarter three has further demonstrated how our growth strategy and investments across the business have delivered results – achieving the highest Year to Date and Last Twelve Months revenue and profit in the Company’s history,” said William Crossland, CEO of Thermal Energy. “These quarterly figures have contributed to our standout Year to Date results, with both revenue and profitability up significantly. Revenue continued to grow in the third quarter, giving the Company a Year to Date figure of $ 18.6 million – up $3.5 million (23%) compared to the nine month point of FY2019. In terms of profit, Year to Date net income was $1.1 million with EBITDAS at $1.9 million. These figures are more than $2 million higher than last year for the same time period and have helped the Company accumulate working capital of $2.8 million – a ten year high. “Looking at the Last Twelve Months, revenue at the end of the third quarter was the highest it has ever been, and EBITDA and net income are more than double the previous twelve-month record. “Our positive results for the quarter are particularly reassuring now that we are in the midst of a period of uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. While most of our clients are essential businesses and continue to operate, travel restrictions, social distancing, and other mitigation measures are having an impact on order backlog and revenue. “Thermal Energy prides itself on providing a tailored, best-in-class product and service which often relies on detailed site surveys and facility visits. Therefore, during a time when such visits are restricted, our business activity has slowed and many of the projects have been delayed. “Despite the Covid-19 slowdown we are continuing to fully support our staff, customers, and suppliers. We have maintained our pre-pandemic staff levels, full product production, and our project development capabilities. After three years of strong revenue growth and staff additions, we are using the current slowdown as a unique opportunity to look inward at systems, processes, and initiatives designed to increase our longer-term productivity and profitability. This includes an extensive company-wide upskilling and training plan, technology upgrades, and various R&D projects. The recent events have acted as a catalyst to improve connectivity, communication capabilities, and remote collaboration. We have accelerated plans to implement new systems designed to make our team more virtually accessible. By enhancing in this way, we are not only responding to the current circumstances, but also preparing for an altered state of business in the future. “This approach will ensure the Company emerges from this challenging period in as strong a position as possible to be able to meet any accumulated demand for increased energy efficiency. As our latest results show, from a financial standpoint we entered the final quarter in a strong position with solid cash reserves, and by taking these initiatives now, we have a clear roadmap forward.” Summary Financial Results For further details, visit Thermal Energy’s Third Quarter and Year to Date Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary presentation here: www.thermalenergy.com/presentations.html Third Quarter and Year to Date Fiscal 2020 Financial Review Quarterly revenue was $5.8 million, delivering a gross profit of $2.4 million - up 111% compared to the same quarter last year.

Business Outlook and Order Backlog Summary The Company ended the quarter with an order backlog of $3.4 million compared to $10.6 million last year. The Company defines its order backlog as the value of projects for which purchase orders have been received, but that have not yet been fully reflected as revenue in the Company’s published quarterly financial statements. Given the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our projects under development and some of those already in progress have been delayed. Projects already in progress that have been delayed include:
Also, on October 16, 2019, the Company announced a $738,000 order from a meat processing company. After work started on the project the customer decided to make some major modifications to its boiler plant which made the planned project with Thermal Energy not practical at this time. As a result, the customer elected to cancel the order, paying Thermal Energy for the work done to date. This order has therefore been removed from the order backlog, but the Company continues to work with the customer to develop alternate projects.
