VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (NASDAQ:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, announced today that it continues to execute against its planned 10 megawatt (MW) long-term microturbine rental business with the deployment of a C600 Signature Series microturbine in the Permian Basin with a repeat customer and one of the world's largest oil and gas companies. The new long-term rental was secured by Lone Star Power Solutions (www.lonestarpowersolutions.com), Capstone's exclusive distributor in Arizona, Texas, and the Gulf states.
The C600S long-term rental order increases Capstone's existing microturbine rental fleet from 7.0 MW to 7.6 MWs, and the company continues to expand the current factory long-term rental fleet to a target of 10 MW, as part of management's focus to achieve sustainable positive Adjusted EBITDA in the June 2020 quarter and beyond.
Capstone microturbines align perfectly with the needs of the oil and gas industry and are currently used in all phases of oil production, including upstream, midstream, and downstream operations in both onshore and offshore applications. Capstone long-term rentals provide oil and gas customers low operational cost, high availability, and high reliability.
"The demonstrated performance of Capstone Turbine products has proven to be an integral part of our customer's operational requirements," said Doug Demaret, President of Lone Star Power Solutions. "Capstone products allow Lone Star Power to provide its customers with 100% uptime, low emissions, and infrequent service visits, allowing our customers to focus on their core energy business," added Mr. Demaret.
With the instability in the global oil markets, the demand for rental units continues to grow as oil and gas companies look to conserve capital and focus on increasing free cash flow. Capstone is experiencing increased demand globally for long-term rental units, a trend the company expects to continue through 2020 and beyond.
"Developing a 10 MW long-term rental fleet is a critical component of management's plan to achieve not only positive Adjusted EBITDA in the June 2020 quarter, but the long-term high margin source of revenue is critical to enable us the opportunity to sustain positive Adjusted EBITDA beyond our June target," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer at Capstone Turbine. "The continued growth of our long-term rentals, long-term service contracts and expanded lower cost spare parts remanufacturing program are significant drivers of future margin expansion," concluded Mr. Jamison.
