Active Power Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results

Revenues up 12% versus Same Year-ago Quarter

AUSTIN, Texas (Oct. 26, 2011) – Active Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACPW), manufacturer of critical backup power systems and continuous power and infrastructure solutions, reported results for its third quarter and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2011.

Third quarter 2011 revenues were $20.6 million, representing a quarterly record for the company, and an increase of $2.2 million, or 12%, versus the same year-ago quarter. Net loss was $1.3 million or $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $55,000 or $0.00 per share in the same year-ago quarter.

Management Commentary

“Our continuous power and infrastructure solutions business represented the majority of our total quarterly revenue again in the third quarter 2011,” said John Penver, chief financial officer for Active Power. “The volume of our core UPS business has performed under expectations and this along with margin pressure on our infrastructure business has contributed to the decrease in our overall gross and operating margins.  Sales mix as well as gross and operating margins were consistent with last quarter.”

“As we look to finish out the year and transition into fiscal 2012, our focus will be on growing our core UPS business, improving execution in our infrastructure business and profitability,” said Jan Lindelow, interim president and CEO for Active Power. “Entering 2012, we plan to expand our product offerings, and thereby increase our addressable market while meeting the future demands of the marketplace.”
