以下是燃料科技公司（FTEK）2023年第四季度業績電話會議記錄摘要：
Financial Performance:
財務業績：
Fuel Tech reported total revenue of $27.1 million in 2023, marking a surge from previous earnings since 2019.
Q4 consolidated revenues dropped slightly to $6.3 million compared to $7 million in Q4 2022, largely due to declines in both APC and Fuel Chem segments.
Despite an operating loss of $801,000 and a net loss of $539,000 or $0.02 per share in Q4 2023, gross margins rose remarkably to 51% from 43% in Q4 2022. This was led by an increased APC segment gross margin of 55%.
The company finished 2023 with $33.4 million in cash and investments, devoid of long-term debt.
SG&A expenses slightly escalated from 2022 but were managed by maintaining a conservative cost profile.
Fuel Tech報告稱，2023年的總收入爲2710萬美元，較2019年以來的收益激增。
與2022年第四季度的700萬美元相比，第四季度的合併收入略有下降至630萬美元，這主要是由於APC和燃料化學板塊的下滑。
儘管2023年第四季度的營業虧損爲80.1萬美元，淨虧損爲53.9萬美元，合每股虧損0.02美元，但毛利率從2022年第四季度的43％顯著增長至51％。這是由APC板塊毛利率增長55％帶動的。
2023年底，該公司擁有3340萬美元的現金和投資，沒有長期債務。
自2022年以來，銷售和收購費用略有增加，但通過保持保守的成本狀況進行管理。
Business Progress:
業務進展：
Their Air Pollution Control (APC) segment yielded over $8.3 million in new project awards alongside an anticipated commercialisation of Dissolved Gas Infusion (DGI) technology in 2024.
Fuel Tech is pursuing potential customers for on-site DGI demonstrations and anticipates signing their first commercial DGI contract in 2024.
Despite a revenue dip for their FUEL CHEM segment due to weather impacts on demand, the company expects this segment's revenue to remain at 2023 level with chances of incremental growth from ongoing development opportunities.
The company's continued focus on R&D was shown through their investment in the commercialisation of DGI technology, with a consequent rise in R&D expenses.
A new hiring of a water and wastewater treatment executive on a consulting basis is expected to fuel growth through his expertise on Dissolved Gas Technologies.
他們的空氣污染控制（APC）部門獲得了超過830萬美元的新項目獎勵，同時預計溶解氣體注入（DGI）技術將在2024年實現商業化。
Fuel Tech正在尋找潛在客戶進行現場DGI演示，並預計在2024年簽署他們的第一份商業數字化基礎架構合同。
儘管由於天氣對需求的影響，其FUEL CHEM板塊的收入有所下降，但該公司預計該細分市場的收入將保持在2023年的水平，並有可能從持續的開發機會中實現增量增長。
該公司繼續專注於研發，這體現在他們對DGI技術的商業化進行了投資，從而增加了研發費用。
預計在諮詢基礎上新聘的水和廢水處理主管將通過他在溶解氣體技術方面的專業知識推動增長。
