Enphase Energy Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2017
PETALUMA, Calif., November 7, 2017—Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Enphase Energy reported total revenue for the third quarter of 2017 of $77.0 million, an increase of 3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2017. During the third quarter of 2017, Enphase sold approximately 231MW (DC) or 790,000 microinverters. GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2017 was 21.4 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 21.8 percent.
GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $22.4 million, a decrease of 33 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $16.9 million, a decrease of 41 percent compared to the third quarter of 2016. GAAP operating loss was $5.9 million and non-GAAP operating loss was $102,000 for the third quarter of 2017, compared to a GAAP operating loss of $17.7 million and a non-GAAP operating loss of $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2016. GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $6.9 million, or a net loss of $0.08 per share, compared to a third quarter of 2016 net loss of $18.8 million, or a net loss of $0.40 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss in the third quarter of 2017 was $964,000, or a net loss of $0.01 per share, compared to a third quarter of 2016 net loss of $13.4 million, or a net loss of $0.28 per share.
The Company exited the quarter with a total cash balance of $28.9 million.
“We completed the transition to our sixth-generation IQ Microinverter System for our North American customers during the third quarter, and we expect to introduce our seventh-generation IQ product worldwide in the first quarter of 2018,” said Badri Kothandaraman, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. “These transitions, along with our continued focus on operational excellence, will help drive further gross margin improvement.”
“The fiscal discipline across all areas of our business in the third quarter resulted in a 41 percent year-over-year decrease in non-GAAP operating expenses and a sequential 340 basis point improvement in non-GAAP gross margin,” said Bert Garcia, CFO of Enphase Energy. “We were close to breakeven on a non-GAAP operating income basis in the third quarter, demonstrating our commitment to achieving non-GAAP operating profitability in the fourth quarter of 2017.”
Business Outlook
“We expect our revenue for the fourth quarter of 2017 to be within a range of $72 million to $80 million,” stated Bert Garcia. “We expect GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter to be within a range of 21.5 percent to 24.5 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes approximately $300,000 of stock-based compensation expense. We expect our GAAP operating expense for the fourth quarter to be within a range of $19.5 million to $21.5 million and non-GAAP operating expense to be within a range of $16 million to $18 million, excluding an estimated $1.4 million of stock-based compensation expense and approximately $2.1 million of additional restructuring expense.”
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. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net loss and net loss per share.
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. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. 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.
As presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items for purposes of calculating non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance:
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash in nature. Moreover, the impact of this expense is significantly affected by the Company’s stock price at the time of an award over which management has limited to no control.
Acquisition-related net charges (credits). These items include: (1) revaluation of contingent consideration and its income tax effects, which represent accounting adjustments to state contingent consideration liabilities at their estimated fair value, and (2) amortization of acquired intangibles, which consists of customer relationships. These items relate to a specific prior acquisition and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Restructuring charges. The Company excludes restructuring charges due to the nature of the expenses being unplanned and arising outside the ordinary course of continuing operations. These costs primarily consist of fees paid for restructuring-related management consulting services, cash-based severance costs related to workforce reduction actions, asset write-downs of property and equipment and lease loss reserves, and other contract termination costs resulting from restructuring initiatives.
Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs. The Company excludes amortization of debt issuance costs because the costs do not represent a cash outflow for the Company except in the period the financing was secured and such amortization expense is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
