Opower Announces First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
First quarter revenue of $28.6 million increases 50% year-over-year
ARLINGTON, Va.—May 14, 2014— Opower (NYSE: OPWR), a leading provider of cloud-based software for the utility industry, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
“We are pleased to report a strong start to 2014, with revenue up 50% from the first quarter of 2013,” said Daniel Yates, Chief Executive Officer of Opower. “Our strong revenue growth in the quarter was driven by new customer launches and expanding existing relationships. Utilities are increasingly turning to Opower to help them engage their customers and deliver reliable reductions in energy demand.”
Yates added, “We are still in the early days of addressing a multi-billion dollar opportunity to help utilities achieve their demand management objectives and improve their engagement capabilities. We are focused on investing in the expansion of our sales organization and technology leadership. We believe this strategy will further solidify Opower’s lead in this large, underpenetrated market, and enable us to drive increasing shareholder value over the longer-term.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP operating income, 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 income, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share as operating loss, net loss and net loss per share, respectively, 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 more thoroughly key financial metrics used to make operational decisions. 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 are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding our revenue, net income and profitability metrics for the company’s second quarter and full year 2014, and statements regarding our market position in our industry.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, unpredictable sales cycles and implementation times; changes to the regulatory landscape could alter our customers’ buying patterns; our ability to respond to evolving technological changes; our ability to retain and attract customers; the risk of technological developments and innovations by others; failure to manage growth and effectively scale the organization; failure to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights; assertions by third parties that we infringe their intellectual property rights; the risk of losing key employees; changes to current accounting rules; and general political or destabilizing events, including war, conflict or acts of terrorism.

| (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 March 31, 2013 reduced general and administrative expenses by $0.8 million and increased cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses by $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating loss, net loss or cash flows. |
