Enphase Energy Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
PETALUMA, Calif., May 7, 2013—Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
First Quarter 2013 Highlights
Revenue of $45.6 million
Non-GAAP gross margin of 27%, up 510 basis points year-over-year
Non-GAAP operating expenses flat sequentially at $20.4 million
Enphase Energy reported total revenue for the first quarter of $45.6 million. This is an increase of 7 percent compared to revenue of $42.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, which included approximately $9 million of revenue associated with shipments related to the expiring 1603 grant program. Excluding these 1603 related units, revenue increased 36 percent year-over-year. Units sold in the first quarter of 2013 totaled 315,000.
GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 26.8 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 27 percent, an increase of 510 basis points when compared to 21.9 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter were $21.9 million and non-GAAP operating expenses were $20.4 million, which is flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.
First quarter of 2013 GAAP net loss was $10.4 million, or a loss of $0.25 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $8.7 million, or a loss of $0.21 per share.
The Company exited the quarter with a total cash balance of $36.4 million.
“We are pleased with our first quarter results, and are off to a strong start for 2013. During a seasonally softer portion of the year, revenue came in at the high end of our guidance and continues to demonstrate healthy top line growth on a year-over-year basis,” commented Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase. “Additionally, we improved our gross margins year-over-year, while maintaining tight control on our operating expenses, keeping them flat on a sequential basis.”
Mr. Nahi added, “We continue to make progress with execution on our key initiatives which include improving operating performance, expanding gross margin, broadening our market opportunity, developing new products and services and charting a path to profitability and sustainable positive cash flows. We remain excited about the solar industry and believe its long term global prospects continue to be tremendous and represent a great opportunity for growth and profitability for those companies with vision and a unique value proposition.”

Business Outlook
“Looking forward we expect a strong sequential increase in our top line, with revenues for the second quarter of 2013 to be within a range of $56 million to $60 million, and for gross margin to be within a range of 26 percent to 28 percent,” said Kris Sennesael, CFO of Enphase. “We also expect non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 to be roughly flat compared to the first quarter of 2013.”
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 excludes or includes 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. 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. 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.
