Management Commentary
“We closed out 2011 as expected with our UPS business performing under expectations for the year and lower than anticipated margins in our solutions business,” said Jan Lindelow, interim president and CEO of Active Power. “Our decline in profitability was primarily due to these factors and expense related to restructuring actions.”
“As we shared last quarter, we are taking definitive steps to grow our core UPS business and improve margins in our solutions business. We are seeing early positive returns from our focus on these areas, having received orders for more than 140 flywheels that we plan to process for delivery this year. In addition, we have significantly improved margins on our solutions business by implementing more structured processes and pricing changes. This progress, coupled with prudent expense actions, puts us in a strong position to improve operating results and track towards achieving annual profitability.”
Q4 and Full Year 2011 Financial Results
Fourth quarter 2011 revenues were $18.3 million, a decrease of $1 million or 5% versus the same year-ago quarter. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, total revenues were a record $75.5 million, a 16% increase compared to $65 million in 2010.
Net loss for the fourth quarter was $3.3 million or $(0.04) per share, which included one-time costs of $1.4 million or $(0.02) per share, associated with the departure of our chief executive officer and costs associated with closure of certain foreign operations. This compares to a net loss of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 and compares to a net income of $145,000 or $0.00 per share in the same year-ago quarter. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2011, net loss was $7.1 million or $(0.09) per share, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million or $(0.05) per share in 2010.
Outlook
Active Power expects first quarter 2012 revenues to be between $17 million and $21 million, reflecting traditional seasonality when compared to the previous quarter. First quarter earnings per share is expected to be a loss of $(0.01) to $(0.03) per share. Changes in cash and investments are expected to be minimal and driven by changes in working capital requirements.
