ENERGY FOCUS, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

SOLON, Ohio, November 14, 2011 — Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2011 include the following:

  Net sales of $6.0 million compared to $9.0 million for the third quarter 2010.

  Net loss of $1.5 million improved $0.1 million from the third quarter’s 2010 net loss of $1.6 million.

  The Company finished the quarter with a balance sheet showing cash in the amount of $1.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million from the second quarter.

  Operating expenses decreased 25% compared to the third quarter of 2010.

The forecast for Q4 2011 includes the following:

  Sales to range between $8 million and $9 million in Q4 2011.

  Net cash utilization for Q4 2011 is expected to be approximately $1 million. The Company expects to complete a financing agreement by the end of the fourth quarter which will provide additional working capital and refinance a portion of debt.

“Our military business continued to perform well in the third quarter as we prepare to begin our first deliveries under a $23 million contract to supply IntelliTube™ product to the U.S. Navy. This is a tremendous business opportunity for Energy Focus which we estimate to exceed $300 million for the U.S. Fleet alone,” said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO.

Additionally, Mr. Kaveski stated that “although sales for our solutions business were below last year’s third quarter, we are seeing marked improvement in the business as evidenced by our recent contract awards of $2.5 million. These contracts, as well as others we’ll receive, will lead to a much stronger solutions business in Q4 2011.”

Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call on Monday, November 14, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EST (1:30 p.m. PST) to review the third quarter 2011 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.
