- Revenue increased 12.7% on a normalized basis
- Kam Mofid appointed CEO in July
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Real Goods Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq:RSOL), a leading provider of turnkey commercial and residential solar energy solutions, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Q2 2012 Financial Results as Compared to the Same Year-Ago Quarter
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2012 increased 7.5% to $21.5 million from $20.0 million recorded in the same period last year. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Alteris, partially offset by reduced revenues due to the direct supplying to customers by financing companies of certain components used on residential projects in order for the financiers to take advantage of expiring tax benefits (safe harbor). This unusual sourcing activity during the second quarter of 2012 reduced net revenues, but had no material impact on Company's gross profits. Net revenues normalized for this unusual sourcing event were approximately $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2012, or 12.7% more than the same period last year.
On December 19, 2011, Real Goods Solar closed on the merger with Alteris Renewables, issuing 8.7 million unregistered shares of its Class A common stock for 100% of Alteris' outstanding equity. For accounting purposes, Alteris' financial results were consolidated with Real Goods Solar's beginning June 22, 2011, when the merger agreement was signed. The Non-GAAP pro forma comparative results of operations are reflected below.
Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million to $5.3 million, or 24.8% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2012 from $5.4 million, or 26.9% of net revenue, in the same period last year. The 210 basis point decrease in gross profit percentage primarily reflects the impact of the unusual equipment sourcing event mentioned above, as well as a reduction in the mix of residential projects which produce higher gross margins over commercial projects. The Company generally expects a higher mix of commercial projects in 2012 over 2011.
Operating expenses were approximately 41.3% of net revenue normalized for the unusual equipment sourcing mentioned above, as compared to 35.5% of net revenue on a pro forma basis for the same quarter last year. The increase in operating expenses is primarily associated with centralization and addition of resources at the Company's Colorado location.
Operating loss and net loss for the second quarter of 2012 was $4.0 million and $2.5 million ($0.09 loss per share), respectively. The prior year operating loss and net loss for the second quarter was $1.9 million and $1.6 million ($0.08 loss per share), respectively, including $2.0 million of Alteris acquisition related costs. On a pro forma basis, the Non-GAAP 2011 second quarter operating loss and net loss was $3.0 million and $1.9 million ($0.07 loss per share), respectively, including the Alteris operations and excluding acquisition costs.
First Half 2012 Financial Results
For the first half of 2012, net revenue increased 6.2% to $39.7 million from 37.4 million for the same period last year. Net loss for the first half of 2012 was $4.4 million, or $0.16 loss per share, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.12 loss per share, for the same period last year on a pro forma basis. The increased net loss in the second quarter of 2012 over the prior year is primarily attributable to one-time integration and reorganization costs associated with the Alteris acquisition and the centralization of support services to Colorado.
Management Commentary
"We expended nearly $2.0 million of non-recurring costs over the past few quarters in connection with the integration and reorganization efforts of the Company," said John Coletta, the Company's CFO. "We expect the expanded and refined organization to produce the project revenues and gross profits adequate to cover fixed operating expenses, and anticipate a return to positive cash flow near the end of the year."
Kam Mofid, Real Goods Solar CEO, commented: "During the past several months, the Company has put the people, systems and processes in place to capitalize on its new combined footprint with Alteris. While this involved many significant one-time expenses over the past several quarters and the usual complexities and short-term disruptions of integration, the Company now has the resources and capabilities to re-focus on implementing our profitable growth plans in both the residential and commercial sectors."
Kam Mofid joined the Company as CEO effective July 30, 2012. "Everyone on the board is very pleased to have Kam join the Company and lead the charge to a return to profitability that was lost a year ago," commented Jirka Rysavy, Chairman.
