FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Power Corporation (NYSE AMERICAN:DPW) ("Digital Power" or the "Company"), a company seeking to increase revenues through acquisitions and organic growth, issued an investor update and revenue guidance in response to the various questions that it has received since it published on August 21, 2017 its 10-Q report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the period ended June 30, 2017. The Company provided investors and its shareholders guidance on revenues for the remainder of 2017 and for 2018, forecasting growth quarter over quarter starting with the current period ending September 30, 2017.
The Company announced its estimate of gross revenues for the following periods:
- Quarter ending September 30, 2017: Between $2.9M to $3.5M
- Quarter ending December 31, 2017: Between $4.2M to $4.9M
- Year ending December 31, 2018: Between $23.5M to 25.0M
The Company stated the increase in 2018 is based on its ability to fully recognize revenue from its operations and all acquisitions completed in 2017. The Company cautions that these forecasts for Q3 and Q4 of 2017 do not currently include revenues from the $50M purchase order since it is reviewing its revenue recognition policies and protocols. The recognition of revenues from the contract for manufacturing services being provided to MTIX, Ltd. is complex for various reasons including that production is multinational, being conducted in both England and the United States, and, hence, thus under regulatory scrutiny by varying sets of governing laws, regulations and practices from government and industry agencies. The Company seeks to adopt the “best of practice” in policies and procedure as its standard protocol as advised by its contracted consultants and industry experts.
Milton “Todd” Ault, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “The quarter ended June 30, 2017 did not realize the full impact of gross revenues from Microphase and will only begin to include revenues from Power-Plus Technical Distributors once the acquisition is completed by or about September 1, 2017. The Company will also begin to recognize revenues from the manufacturing of equipment employing the Multiplexed Laser Surface Enhancement (“MLSE®”) technology to MTIX, Ltd. and its clients as a result of the $50M purchase order we have received earlier this year.” Ault continued. “We will also begin to recognize from the reduction of our backlog in orders and from new customers and new customer orders due to the synergies just starting to be leveraged by the Company’s subsidiaries and from other acquisitions that may close during Q3 and during Q4. As I have recently stated, we believe our history will prove that this 2nd quarter is the Company’s bottom and our last quarter of shrinking revenues. The 3rd quarter of 2017 will hallmark our turnaround.”
As previously reported, the Company expects to change its name, Digital Power Corporation, while retaining its stock symbol later this year.
The Company is committed to an acquisitions and organic growth strategy and anticipates to continue to raise additional capital in the foreseeable future to fuel the engine of growth necessary to accomplish the Company’s goals and strategy.
