POWER-ONE ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

 


 

·                  Quarterly revenue grows 61 percent year-over-year to $245 million

·                  Operating income rises 143 percent year-over-year to $51 million

·                  First quarter diluted EPS reaches $0.20 versus $0.04 in the year ago period

 

Camarillo, CA, May 5, 2011 — Power-One, Inc. (NASDAQ: PWER), a leading provider of renewable energy and energy-efficient power conversion and power management solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter 2011.  For the quarter ended April 3, 2011, Power-One recorded net sales of $245 million, an increase of 61 percent from the first quarter 2010.  Net income attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter was $30 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $4 million, or $0.04 per share for the same period last year.

 

“We are pleased with the performance of both our Power and Renewable Energy SBUs, despite difficult market conditions in the European solar market that affected Power-One’s renewable energy sales in the first quarter,” said Richard Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Power-One.

 

“We anticipate the solar market will begin to gain momentum as Italy recently passed its legislation and the German market is showing signs of heightened activity,” continued Mr. Thompson.  “Further, we expect our focus on new geographies, particularly North America and Asia, will add revenue in renewables and lead to improving profitability in both our Power Solutions and Renewable Energy Solutions SBU’s.”

Renewable Energy Solutions

 

Renewable Energy Solutions posted a revenue increase of 85 percent versus last year as Power-One showed continued momentum in the photovoltaic (PV) inverter market.  In the quarter, Power-One continued to build out its infrastructure by increasing US production and gaining new customers in North America.  Power-One also opened its China manufacturing facility to meet the burgeoning demand of the Chinese and Indian markets.  Additionally, it began shipping utility-grade inverters for new industry leading customers in the U.S. and India.

 

Inverter and related products recorded sales of $152 million for the first quarter 2011. Renewable Energy Solutions contributed 62 percent of the company’s revenue, versus 54 percent in the first quarter of 2010. During the quarter, Power-One shipped 609 MW of inverters.

 

Power Solutions

 

Power Solutions increased sales by 32 percent year-over-year, with revenue of $93 million in the first quarter 2011 versus $70 million in the same period of 2010.  During the first quarter, Power Solutions’ positive performance was driven by better product mix and higher overhead absorption. The unit continues to focus on reducing operating expenses and will continue to develop and implement plans to achieve its objectives.

 

Business Outlook

 

Power-One continues to build an impressive pipeline of new business in its new and existing geographies.  For the second quarter of 2011, Power-One forecasts revenue of $250 million to $270 million, indicating increasing revenue versus the first quarter of 2011.  Second quarter revenue is expected to be impacted by inverter inventory in the channel, albeit at lower levels than in the first quarter, and faster growth in the string inverter market in Europe versus ground mount systems. For the year, Power-One anticipates generating revenue between $1.1 billion and $1.25 billion.
