Management Commentary
Mr. George Pan, Chairman and CEO of Highpower International, commented, “We were pleased to remain profitable and grow EBITDA during the period despite an overall challenging environment of China’s economic slowdown and pricing pressure from competition and the decline in commodity prices. We continue to see newer electronic products and modern wearable devices being introduced to the market, with demand for more robust rechargeable batteries. In the meantime, lower commodity prices, especially in the oil industry, have created a challenging environment for clean energy related industries. The recent devaluation of the Chinese currency RMB also affected our US dollar denominated sales numbers. We remain confident in growing our business in the long term.”
2015 Third Quarter Financial Review
Net Sales
Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 were $37.6 million compared to $44.5 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease of 15.6% in net sales compared to the same period in 2014 was due to a $4.1 million decrease in net sales of lithium batteries, a $2.3 million decrease in net sales of Ni-MH batteries and a $0.5 million decrease in revenue of the new material business.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $108.3 million, a decrease of 3.1%, compared to $111.8 million for the same prior year period. The decrease was due to a $6.5 million decrease in net sales of Ni-MH batteries and a $0.9 million decrease in revenue from new material business, which was offset by a $3.9 million increase in net sales of lithium batteries. The increase in lithium battery sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to the growth in global demand for mobile and portable products, and electrical buses in China.
Gross Profit
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s gross profit was $7.2 million compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2014.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s gross profit was $21.3 million compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2014.
Gross Margin
Gross margin was 19.2% for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to 21.1% for the same period in 2014.
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 19.7% compared to 20.6% for the same period in 2014. The decrease of gross profit and gross margin was due to decrease in the average selling price of products because of competition and lower commodity prices.

Outlook for 2015
Based on the recent economic slowdown and continued downward pressure for global commodity prices, and the depreciation pressure of RMB versus USD exchange rate, the Company expects its total net sales for the full year of 2015 to be between $142.0 million and $146.0 million, and both GAAP and non-GAAP net income to be between $4.0 and 5.0 million .
Chairman Pan concluded, “Based on the current impact of the short-term pricing pressures, we have realigned our expectations for Highpower for the year. We revised our 2015 net sales and non-GAAP net income guidance to take account of the aforementioned change, but still feel confident in achieving our previously announced net income bottom line guidance. We are focused on optimizing our customer base and seeking new business opportunities with multi-national customers. We feel that Highpower is well positioned as we enter 2016.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company has supplemented its reported GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial information with non-GAAP measures. EBITDA was derived by taking earnings before interest expense (net), taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP (adjusted) net income or (loss) exclude stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, may not be similar to Adjusted EBITDA measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they provide a basis for evaluating the Company's operating results in the ordinary course of its operations.
These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with its results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with, and not in lieu of, the corresponding GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the accompanying tables to the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP.
