"We delivered solid financial results for the second quarter of 2015," said Paul Nahi, president and CEO of Enphase.

We continue to expand our customer base, including our recently announced partnership with Sunrun, and remain committed to developing the highest quality and most innovative solar energy system in the world."

"I am pleased with our financial performance in the second quarter," said Kris Sennesael, CFO of Enphase. "The combination of strong top line growth, solid gross margin and flat operating expenses drove significant improvement to our bottom line and profitability."

Business Outlook

"We expect revenue for the third quarter of 2015 to be within a range of $100 million to $105 million," stated Kris Sennesael. "We expect gross margin to be within a range of 30 percent to 32 percent. We also expect non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 to be flat to up 3 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2015."

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.
