ENERGY FOCUS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

 

SOLON, Ohio, August, 13, 2013—Energy Focus, Inc. (OTCQB:EFOI) a leader in LED lighting technologies, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

 

Financial results for the quarter include the following:

 

• Net sales of $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 versus $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2012.
• Gross margins of 27.4 percent of net sales compared to 22.2 percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2012.
• A net loss of $0.7 million compared to a net loss $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2012.

 

James Tu, Executive Chairman, commented: “Our second quarter sales came in slightly lower than the same period last year as the Company reorganized its leadership structure and refocused its resources on the LED lighting retrofit markets. The quarter’s sales were also impacted by a weaker pool lighting business due to colder weather. However, we are excited to see momentum building up across our businesses, and we believe our new initiatives to dramatically narrow our focus and to strengthen our planning and execution capabilities will start yielding results by year’s end.”

 

“Notably, we were able to continue to grow our Navy sales, which are on track to more than double from last year in spite of the sequester. A large portion of that increase is due to shipments against our $23 million LED contract with the Navy. As of today we’ve completed about $6.4 million, or about 28%, of the contract. Yet even after supplying the full contract we’ll only have retrofitted about 7% of the fleet. With our first-mover advantage as the only approved LED tube provider for the Navy, we are also actively going after the Military Sealift Command as well as Coast Guard ships markets. Therefore we have barely scratched the surface of this opportunity, which by our estimate exceeds $500 million,” continued Mr. Tu.

 

“Our sales pipeline for the Energy Services Company (ESCO) market —a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity—continues to grow with many new lighting retrofit opportunities going all LED. We expect to see the revenue impact of our growing pipeline and the contracts in place beginning in the second half of 2013 and beyond,” commented Mr. Tu.

 

“Last but not least, we are very encouraged by the improvement in our gross margins. We believe that we will be able to continue to improve our gross margins, a critical element to become EBITDA positive in the second half of 2013,” said Mr. Tu.
