CAMARILLO, Calif., Oct. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power-One, Inc. (Nasdaq:PWER), a leading provider of renewable energy and energy-efficient power conversion and power management solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2010. Power-One posted record net sales of $314 million for the third quarter ended October 3, 2010, an increase of 214% from the third quarter 2009. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter was $63 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3 million, or $0.03 per share for the same period last year.

"Sales from our Renewable Energy SBU, coupled with revenue growth in the Power SBU, led to expanded margins and the fourth straight quarter of net profit," said Richard Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Power-One. "Given the demand for our products, we expect to grow revenue again in the fourth quarter as we position the company for continued profits and market share gains."

Power-One expanded consolidated operating margin to 32% in the third quarter of 2010, versus just over breakeven in the same period last year. Operating income for the third quarter 2010 was $101 million. A favorable product mix, increased volume and manufacturing efficiencies contributed to the expansion.

Renewable Energy Solutions

Renewable Energy Solutions posted a revenue increase of 634% versus last year as a result of an expanding customer base and strong demand. Power-One became the second largest manufacturer of inverters in 2010, driven largely by the performance and quality of its product, generating high energy yields which provide an increased return on investment for its customers.

Inverter and related product sales posted a record $228 million in revenue for the third quarter 2010. Renewable Energy Solutions contributed nearly 73% of the company's revenue, versus 31% in the third quarter of 2009. Power-One shipped 867 MW of inverters in the quarter, bringing its 2010 year-to-date total to 1.7 GW.

Power Solutions

Power Solutions increased sales by 24% year-over-year, recording revenue of $86 million in the third quarter 2010 versus $69 million in the same period of 2009.  Although component availability continues to affect production, the impact is expected to lessen as certain components are becoming more readily available in the Power Solutions supply chain.

Business Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2010, Power-One forecasts revenue of $340 to $360 million, driven by the continued momentum of inverter sales and the turnaround of the Power Solutions SBU.
