Opower Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results
2014 revenue is $128.4 million, 45 percent increase over 2013
ARLINGTON, Va.—(March 2, 2015)—Opower (NYSE: OPWR), a leading provider of cloud-based software for the utility industry, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2014. The company finished the year with revenue of $128.4 million, an increase of 45 percent year-over-year.
“Revenue and profitability were above the high end of our expectations for the fourth quarter and 2014,” said Dan Yates, chief executive officer of Opower. “Our strong performance reflects a healthy demand environment and the deepening of many of our customer relationships.”
Yates continued, “At Opower, our ambition is to lead the transformation of the utility industry with a customer engagement platform that is core to every interaction a utility company has with its customers. The utility industry is one of the largest remaining industries yet to be transformed by cloud software. We are leading that transformation.”
Yates also announced Customer Care: Billing Suite, a new product that will be deployed on the Opower 6 customer engagement platform. “This offering helps us entrench deeper into utility operations and is a big part of our effort to automate and improve every single customer touchpoint.” Puget Sound Energy will be the first customer to launch the entire Billing Suite later this year.
Opower signed several large expansions in the fourth quarter and added customers domestically and overseas.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, non-GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding and adjusted EBITDA.
We define non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share as excluding the impact of stock-based compensation. The weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-GAAP net loss per share gives effect to the conversion of the preferred stock as of the beginning of each of the periods presented.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude our income tax provision, other income (expense), including interest, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Opower’s financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, and to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information regarding past financial performance and future prospects, and permit us to analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions more thoroughly. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other software companies, many of which disclose similar non-GAAP financial measures.
We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is their exclusion of significant income and expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management on which income and expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

| (2) | During the first quarter of 2014, the Company updated its methodology for allocating certain general and administrative costs to more closely align these costs to the functional departments consuming the related services. As a result, certain prior period costs have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses primarily based on the headcount in each of these functional areas. The reclassifications for the three months ended December 31, 2013 reduced general and administrative expenses by $2.3 million and increased cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses by $0.4 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The reclassifications for the year ended December 31, 2013 reduced general and administrative expenses by $5.8 million and increased cost of revenue, sales and marketing, and research and development expenses by $0.8 million, $2.6 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating loss, net loss or cash flows. |
