SOLON, Ohio, May 12, 2011 — Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 and forecast for second quarter.

Financial and operating highlights for the first quarter of 2011 include the following:

  Net sales of $5.5 million compared to $8.4 million for the first quarter 2010.

  The company finished the quarter with a balance sheet showing cash in the amount of $1.6 million and total shareholders’ equity of $4.4 million.

  Cash utilization for the first quarter of 2011 was $2.5 million. Cash utilization for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.7 million.

  Operating expenses decreased 20.1% compared to the first quarter of 2010.

The forecast for Q2 and 2011 include the following:

  Sales to exceed $8.0 million in Q2 2011 versus $9.0 million in Q2 2010. Sales of $35 million are anticipated for 2011.

  Net cash utilization for Q2 2011 is expected to be less than $1 million compared to a cash inflow of $0.3 million in Q2 2010.

  The company expects to be net cash flow positive from operations in 2011.

“While first quarter sales were lower than last year due to contract timing in our solutions business, I am pleased to report that solution sales are ramping up with Q2 overall sales expected to exceed $8 million,” said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO. “Furthermore, our products and our military businesses performed well in Q1. With the addition of new energy savings products like our recently introduced LED Retrofit Kit for Wallpacks, we expect our product businesses to continue their good performance throughout the year.”
