For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company reported revenues of $37,273,000, a 54% increase compared to revenues of $24,167,000 in the year ended December 31, 2009. Gross profit margins increased to 22% for 2010 compared to gross margins of 16% in 2009.

Kevin J. Zugibe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, "We are very pleased to report solid revenue growth and record revenues for 2010, reflecting increased demand for both refrigerants and services. Our 2010 revenues represent a 54% increase over 2009 revenues and a 12% increase over 2008 revenues, our previous year of record revenues. Additionally, our fourth quarter gross margin demonstrated a continuation of the sequential margin improvement that we achieved throughout 2010. In 2010, we began to see customers returning to more historical purchasing patterns and increased volumes. In addition, 2010 was one of our most successful years for our RefrigerantSide® Services service business, as people were more fully utilizing their cooling systems, increasing the demand for our patented and proprietary services.

"Throughout the past five quarters, we have expressed our view that 2009 was an anomaly and that we expected to return to the double-digit revenue growth rate we had sustained for the five years through 2008. We are very pleased that the expectations we communicated to our shareholders have been validated by our 2010 results. Our 2010 performance is a result of both the expansion of our customer base as well as volume growth, all accomplished without the benefit of refrigerant price increases. Since the close of 2010, we have begun to see higher refrigerant prices and we believe we are well positioned to continue double digit revenue growth for 2011.

"Lastly, we remain confident that the anticipated supply/demand imbalance created by the EPA mandated phase-out of R-22 should, over time, result in higher R-22 prices and a corresponding increase in demand for refrigerant reclamation, which could significantly benefit our future performance.”
