Management Commentary
“As we have consistently stated, a top priority has been to return our core UPS segment to growth,” said Doug Milner, president and CEO. “Our focus on this part of our business yielded positive results as UPS revenue nearly doubled compared to the previous quarter and we saw better traction for UPS opportunities across all geographies. More importantly, we achieved these results profitably, recording a net income for the quarter.”
 
“In line with our ongoing efforts to improve margins and operational efficiency, we have been evaluating ways to fine tune our fixed cost position. As a result, we have recently executed cost savings measures that we expect to yield annualized savings of about $1.8 million, with a one-time restructuring charge of approximately $350,000 in the third quarter. We believe these prudent measures will ensure we are making appropriate investments for the future while also aligning our overhead to support consistent and profitable growth.”

“For the remainder of 2012, we will continue to focus on our top priorities of increasing sales productivity and growth within our UPS business, market introduction of our new UPS product platform, and lean process initiatives to improve efficiency throughout the company. We believe the results of these efforts will positively impact our financials, particularly in the fourth quarter, and place us in a favorable position to achieve annual profitability in 2012.”

Q2 2012 Financial Results
Second quarter 2012 revenue was $21.7 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 9%, from the previous quarter and an increase of $2.4 million, or 13%, from the same year-ago quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue of $41.5 million was $4.9 million, or 13%, higher than the comparable period of 2011.

Gross margin for the quarter was 36% of revenue compared to 27% in the previous quarter and 24% in the same year-ago quarter.

Net income for the quarter was $490,000, or about $0.01 per share. This compares to a loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.01) per share, in the previous quarter and a loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.02) per share, in the same year-ago quarter. For the six-months ended June 30, 2012, net loss was $0.7 million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.03) per share in the same period of 2011.

Outlook
Active Power expects third quarter 2012 revenue to range between $17 million and $20 million. Third quarter earnings per share are expected to be a loss between $(0.03) to $(0.01) per share, which includes the effect of our restructuring expenses.

Changes in cash and investments are expected to be minimal and driven by changes in working capital requirements.
