PETALUMA, Calif., Aug. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Enphase Energy reported total revenue for the second quarter of 2016 of $79.2 million, an increase of 24 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, Enphase sold 186MW (AC) or 796,000 microinverters, which is an increase in MW of 30 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016. GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2016 was 17.9 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 18.2 percent. GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 were $29.9 million and non-GAAP operating expenses were $27.5 million. GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $15.8 million and non-GAAP operating loss was $13.0 million. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $16.7 million, or a net loss of $0.36 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss was $13.9 million, or a net loss of $0.30 share.
The Company generated $7.3 million in cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2016.
“Our second quarter financial results and third quarter outlook demonstrate that Enphase is regaining market share worldwide, resulting in substantial sequential revenue and shipments growth,” said Paul Nahi, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. “A more competitive price and the introduction of our Home Energy Solution are driving multiple customer wins globally. Our product cost reduction efforts are well on track. We look forward to the upcoming launch of our AC Battery storage solution in Australia during the third quarter.”
“During the second quarter, we improved our cash flow and reduced inventory levels substantially, resulting in $7.3 million positive cash flow from operations,” said Kris Sennesael, CFO of Enphase Energy.
Business Outlook
“We expect revenue for the third quarter of 2016 to be within a range of 87 to 93 million dollars,” stated Kris Sennesael. “We expect GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin to be within a range of 17 to 20 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes approximately $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense. We also expect GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 to be within a range of 30 to 32 million dollars and non-GAAP operating expenses to be within a range of 27 to 29 million dollars, excluding approximately $3.0 million of stock-based compensation expense.”
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), diluted net income (loss) per share.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Enphase believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
As presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash in nature. Moreover, the impact of this expense is significantly affected by the Company’s stock price at the time of an award over which management has limited to no control. Accordingly, the Company excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of its current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance.
Acquisition-related net charges (credits). These items include: (1) revaluation of contingent consideration, which represent accounting adjustments to state contingent consideration liabilities at their estimated fair value, and (2) amortization of acquired intangibles, which consists of customer relationships. These items relate to a specific prior acquisition and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of its current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance.
Severance costs. These costs were incurred as a result of a re-alignment of the structure of the Company's organization in 2015 and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of its current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance.
Non-cash interest expense. The amounts represent amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount. The Company excludes non-cash interest expense because the costs do not represent a cash outflow for the Company except in the period the financing was secured and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of its current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance.
