For Immediate Release
UQM Technologies Reports Third Quarter Financial Results
Revenue Climbs 59% Year-over-Year; Positive Outlook Remains on Path to Profitability
LONGMONT, COLORADO, OCTOBER 31, 2018 – UQM Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: UQM) (“UQM” or the “Company”), a developer of alternative energy technologies, today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Third Quarter Highlights
|
· |
Revenue of $4.4 million, up 59% compared to the third quarter of 2017 |
|
· |
Showcased the Company’s new PowerPhase® HD2 electric motor inverters at the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology trade show in Michigan |
|
· |
Announced $3 million of additional Chinese orders for fuel cell compressor systems along with one from Lightning Systems for electric propulsion |
|
· |
Will introduce a fully-integrated fuel cell compressor system at the upcoming Hydrogen Energy & Fuel Cell Technology Expo in Foshan, China |
“UQM marked another quarter of strong top line growth and new purchase orders as we continued making progress on our path to profitability,” said Joe Mitchell, UQM Technologies’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue rose nearly 60% year-over-year – underscoring robust demand – while lower margins reflected product mix and ongoing business investment. During the period we further advanced our development work with Meritor, grew the Company’s presence in China, and focused on other international expansion opportunities such as India. We announced $3 million of new Chinese orders for fuel cell compressor systems as well as an incremental award from Lightning Systems, while also showcasing our technology at a major trade show in Michigan. In addition, we’ll be introducing a fully-integrated fuel cell compressor system at an upcoming expo in China. Overall we believe the positive trends of the past two quarters will continue going forward, leaving us positioned for strong growth and improved bottom line results heading into 2019.”
Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $4.4 million compared to $2.8 million for the third quarter last year, an increase of 59%.
The Company reported a loss from operations of $1.2 million for the quarter versus $1.1 million in the prior-year period. Lower gross profit, reflecting product mix, was partially offset by a reduction in SG&A expense to $1.8 million from $2.0 million in the 2017 third quarter.
Net loss for the third quarter was $1.1 million, or $(0.02) per common share, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million, or $(0.01) per common share, last year. The fiscal 2017 third quarter included a $0.6 million gain from the sale of property.
