PETALUMA, Calif., November 4, 2014—Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Third Quarter 2014 Financial Highlights

• | Strong positive cash flow from operations of $11.2 million |
Enphase Energy reported total revenue for the third quarter of 2014 of $99.1 million, an increase of 60 percent compared to the third quarter of 2013, and an increase of 21 percent compared to the second quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, Enphase sold 170MW (AC) or 760,000 microinverters, an increase in MW of 81 percent compared to the third quarter of 2013.
GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2014 was 32.8 percent, compared to 28.1 percent in the third quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP gross margin was 33.0 percent, compared to 28.3 percent for the third quarter of 2013.
GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $30.6 million and non-GAAP operating expenses were $28.0 million.
GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2014 was $1.9 million, and non-GAAP operating income was $4.8 million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of $5.3 million and non-GAAP operating loss of $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2013.
During the third quarter of 2014, the Company achieved GAAP net income for the first time. GAAP net income was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $6.3 million, or a net loss of $0.15 per share in the third quarter of 2013. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $3.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.6 million, or a net loss of $0.09 per share in the third quarter of 2013.
The Company generated $11.2 million of cash from operations and exited the third quarter with a total cash balance of $44.5 million.
“We delivered outstanding financial results for the third quarter of 2014,” said Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase Energy. “Increasing global demand for our microinverter systems resulted in record megawatt shipments and 60 percent year-over-year revenue growth. We also made significant progress driving our bottom line results and achieving record profitability. In addition to the strong business momentum, we recently introduced the Enphase Energy Management System at Solar Power International, featuring our 5th generation microinverter system and our storage solution, the Enphase AC Battery.”
“I am extremely pleased with our record financial results for the third quarter of 2014,” said Kris Sennesael, CFO of Enphase Energy. “Our continued focus on a balanced profitable growth strategy enabled us to achieve record revenue, while driving operating leverage to increase profitability and generate strong positive cash flow.”
Business Outlook
“In line with normal seasonality, we expect revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 to be within a range of $98 million to $103 million,” stated Mr. Sennesael. “At the midpoint of the revenue outlook range, revenue would be up 50 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. We expect gross margin to be within a range of 31 percent to 33 percent. We also expect non-GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 to be up 8 to 10 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2014, as we continue to invest in research and development to support new and innovative products and systems.”
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. 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.
