PETALUMA, Calif., May 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH), a global energy technology company, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Enphase Energy reported total revenue for the first quarter of 2016 of $64.1 million. During the first quarter of 2016, Enphase sold 143MW (AC) or 611,000 microinverters. GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2016 was 18.3 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 18.8 percent.

GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were $30.8 million and non-GAAP operating expenses were $28.1 million. GAAP operating loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $19.1 million and non-GAAP operating loss was $16.0 million. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $18.8 million, or a net loss of $0.41 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, net loss was $15.7 million, or a net loss of $0.34 per share.

"We are gaining market share with several new and existing customer wins in both the U.S. and international markets," said Paul Nahi, president and CEO of Enphase Energy. "We continue to execute on our cost reduction roadmap that will significantly drive down our product costs. Also, we are making solid progress on the expansion of the Enphase Home Energy Solution with the upcoming launch of the AC Battery storage system. Together, these will drive long-term growth with new and existing partners worldwide."

Business Outlook

"We expect revenue for the second quarter of 2016 to be within a range of 76 to 82 million dollars," said Kris Sennesael, CFO of Enphase Energy. "At the midpoint of the range, revenue is expected to be up 23 percent sequentially and megawatt shipments are expected to be up 32 percent sequentially, demonstrating further market share gains. We expect gross margin to be within a range of 17 to 20 percent. We also expect non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 to be within a range of 27 to 29 million dollars."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Enphase believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
