Energy Focus, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and 2010 Results

SOLON, Ohio, March 31, 2011—Energy Focus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFOI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 and outlook for 2011.

Financial and operating highlights for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2010 include the following: 

    Fourth quarter 2010 net sales from continuing operations of $8.8 million increased 2.4 times fourth quarter 2009 net sales from continuing operations of $3.6 million.

    Annual sales from continuing operations in 2010 of $35.1 million increased 2.8 times 2009 net sales from continuing operations of $12.5 million.

    Cash increased $3.0 million for the full year 2010 ($1.5 million of which was net cash provided from continuing operations) versus a cash decrease of $9.5 million for 2009.  The Company finished the year with cash on hand of $4.1 million.

The outlook for the first quarter of 2011 and the full year of 2011 include the following:

    Sales to exceed $5 million in the first quarter.

    Cash usage in the first quarter of less than $3 million.

    Revenue from continuing operations (excluding potential acquisitions) of over $35 million for the full year.

    The Company expects net cash provided by continuing operations to be positive for the year.

“I’m very pleased by the 2010 performance of Stones River Companies (SRC), our new lighting solutions business. With $19.8 million in net sales, SRC has exceeded our expectations by almost doubling its sales from its 2009 pre-acquisition base,” said Joe Kaveski, CEO of Energy Focus, Inc. “SRC generated 56% of our revenue for the year and was a key factor in the success of Energy Focus in 2010.”

“Our international lighting business, based out of the UK, which offers lighting products to the new construction market, continued to decline in 2010. We are keenly focused on re-establishing sales growth for this segment during 2011. However, it remains unclear at this point whether the economic cycle for international new construction will improve during the year.”

“We expect our lighting solutions business to continue to be a key factor in 2011, even though sales for the first quarter will be substantially lower than prior year due to the timing of contract work,” Mr. Kaveski added. “Solutions based sales are expected to significantly increase beginning in the second quarter of 2011. Furthermore, we see the military market emerging as a relevant sales channel in 2011 as evidenced by our recent orders from the US Navy. Products based on IntelliTube™ technology, already embedded into our military products, are expected to be available for the existing building market in 2012. Finally, Mr. Kaveski said, “as a direct result of our increasing margins and emphasis on further cost reductions, we anticipate net cash provided by continuing operations to again be positive for the year, an important factor contributing to our profitable growth.”

On Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT), Energy Focus, Inc. will host a conference call to review the fourth quarter and full year 2010 financial results, followed by a Q & A session.
