ENERGY FOCUS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
SOLON, Ohio, May 15, 2012 — Energy Focus, Inc. (OTC BB: EFOI.OB) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Financial results for the first quarter of 2012 include the following:
| • | Net sales of $5.3 million compared to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. |
| • | Operating expenses decreased 36% compared to the first quarter of 2011. |
| • | The net loss of $1.9 million improved $0.9 million compared to the first quarter’s 2011 net loss of $2.8 million. |
| • | The Company finished the quarter with a balance sheet showing cash in the amount of $1.7 million, a $0.4 million decrease from the fourth quarter of 2011. |
Net sales decreased during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior year’s first quarter as a result of $1 million in lower sales from our Solutions business. This was partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in our U.S. Government business as a result of our $23 million U.S. Navy contract.
Joe Kaveski, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter sales fell within our guidance of $5-$6 million. While our overall sales were lower in the first quarter due to the weak performance of our Solutions business, we were encouraged to see a $0.8 million increase in U. S. Navy revenues associated with our IntelliTube™ sales. We also expect to see significant sales during the remainder of 2012 from the $23 million Navy contract. Further, we anticipate an improvement in our Solutions business beginning in the second quarter and a further strengthening in the second half of 2012 due to an expanded proposal pipeline.”
“Our U.S. Products business is also expected to grow in the second quarter of 2012 due to increased sales of our LED products. This increase is led by the fulfillment of the $1.8 million LED product order we recently secured which we began shipping in the second quarter,” said Mr. Kaveski.
The Company expects sales for the second quarter to range between $7 million and $8 million and forecasts to be EBITDA positive in the second half of 2012.
