Quarterly Revenues Jump on Honam Revenues and Product Sales: Earnings Loss Narrows
MILWAUKEE, WI -- (Marketwire - November 14, 2011) - ZBB Energy Corporation (NYSE Amex: ZBB), the leading developer of intelligent, renewable energy power platforms, today reported increased quarterly revenues of $1,637,857 compared to $0 for the same quarter last year and also compared to $1,802,610 for the entire year ended June 30, 2011. This increase of $1,637,857 was the result of a $266,107 increase in commercial product sales and revenues and a $1,411,750 increase in engineering and development revenues as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in commercial product sales and revenues consisted of sales attributable to our Tier Electronics Power Conversion Systems business, which we acquired in January 2011. Engineering and development revenues for the 2011 period consisted primarily of revenue recognized under the Honam Collaboration agreement which is being recognized over the estimated performance period.
Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $358,854 to $1,675,448 from the $2,034,302 net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Total costs and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $3,334,339 and $2,004,085, respectively. This increase of $1,330,254 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to the following factors:
Shareholders' equity was $4.14 million as of September 30, 2011, exceeding the minimum NYSE AMEX requirement of $4.0 million. The Company's cash balance as of September 30, 2011 was $1.9 million. Cash for funding operations, inventory and capital expenditures will continue to come from down payments on orders, product shipments, strategic partnerships, cash payments on tax credits and limited use of equity capital.
Current backlog as of November 14, 2011 was $5.7 million. We continue to close sales orders and add additional orders to our backlog.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company's major accomplishments include:
Key events subsequent to the end of the quarter include:
Eric Apfelbach, CEO and President, said, "As we near commercialization of our key products, the pace of execution is rapidly increasing, as you can see from the completed milestones during the quarter and subsequent to the end of the quarter. We expect that pace to continue accelerating as we move into the start of our product shipments and the start of product revenue generation."
