Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $45.5 million, in line with its previous revised guidance of $45-$47 million, and an increase of approximately 64.7% over the same period last year.

 

“The market environment in the second quarter was challenging.  Despite the strength of North America, the market conditions in Europe and Asia had negative effects on our overall performance,” said Steve Rhoades, President and Chief Executive Officer of Satcon.  “In addition, we incurred one-time charges associated with inventory, restructuring, and the strategic decision to accelerate product development.  Although these measures have resulted in a higher than expected operating loss, they have effectively strengthened our ability to achieve our revenue and cost targets by the end of 2011.”

 

During the second quarter, the company shipped 195 MWs of its industry-leading PowerGate® Plus, Prism® Platform, and Equinox® solutions.  North America continued to be the company’s strongest performing region, representing 80% of total revenues, with 12% coming from Asia and 8% from Europe.  Satcon’s utility scale solutions of 250kW and above continued to be the company’s strongest performing offering, shipping over 167 MW, and representing 86% of total units shipped in the quarter.

 

At June 30, 2011, the company’s backlog, which consists of purchase orders from its customers, was $55.2 million.  Backlog from North America represented 74% of orders to be delivered.  Asia contributed 15%, while Europe contributed 11%.

 

For the third quarter of 2011 the company expects revenue to be in the range of $45 million to $52 million, and gross margin percentage to be in the mid-teens.  “Going forward, we see a strong North American market with upside coming from Asia and Europe,” continued Rhoades.  “We believe that the measures we have taken in the quarter give us the flexibility to adapt to the current market volatility, position us to achieve our guidance, and put us on a path to a sustainable business.”
