  Q2 2019   Q1 2019   Q2 2018   Q2 2019   Q1 2019   Q2 2018
Revenue $ 134,094     $ 100,150     $ 75,896     $ 134,094     $ 100,150     $ 75,896  
Gross margin 33.8 %   33.3 %   29.9 %   34.1 %   33.5 %   30.5 %
Operating income (loss) $ 17,447     $ 7,134     $ (558 )   $ 23,227     $ 11,282     $ 4,133  
Net income (loss) $ 10,618     $ 2,765     $ (3,738 )   $ 23,173     $ 9,528     $ 1,550  
Basic EPS $ 0.09     $ 0.03     $ (0.04 )   $ 0.20     $ 0.09     $ 0.02  
Diluted EPS $ 0.08     $ 0.02     $ (0.04 )   $ 0.18     $ 0.08     $ 0.01  

Our second quarter revenue was $134.1 million, an increase of 34% sequentially and an increase of 77% year-over year. We shipped approximately 416 megawatts DC, or 1,283,680 microinverters. We continued to see strong demand across the board from our customers. While demand continued to outstrip available supply, we were able to increase capacity to better support our customers. As stated before, we are on track to have a supply of approximately two million microinverters in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Our non-GAAP gross margin was 34.1%, an increase of 60 basis points from 33.5% in the first quarter of 2019. The non-GAAP gross margin was negatively impacted by approximately 330 basis points due to expedite fees related to component shortages, compared to approximately 280 basis points in the prior quarter. The expedite fees were in the form of air shipments that we chose to make in order to service our customers. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $22.5 million, compared to $22.3 million in the prior quarter.

We exited the second quarter with $206.0 million in cash and generated $14.8 million in cash flows from operations. The second quarter cash balance included net proceeds of approximately $115.5 million on June 5, 2019 associated with the issuance of $132.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2024 and the repurchase of $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due 2023 in exchange for shares of Enphase Energy common stock and separate cash payments. Inventory was $20.1 million in the second quarter, compared to $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

On June 10, 2019, Enphase Energy announced that more than 500 solar installation companies in the U.S. have benefitted from significantly reduced solar design complexity and logistics by adopting Enphase Energized™ AC Modules (ACMs). Enphase Energized AC Modules, first released in October 2017, are factory-assembled, tested and sold by Enphase ACM partners, including SunPower, Panasonic and Solaria. Enphase Energized AC Modules are built by strategic module partners who integrate Enphase microinverters with PV modules on the manufacturing line. ACMs are tested for performance, reliability, and quality right on the manufacturing line and allow solar installers to offer premium solutions to homeowners.

On June 17, 2019, Enphase Energy announced that it renewed its low-income solar partnership with GRID Alternatives, a national leader in making renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underserved communities. Through the donation of microinverters, Enphase will help GRID Alternatives meet its goal of installing more than 10 megawatts of solar power in 2019, helping families and affordable housing providers save millions of dollars in energy costs and providing hands-on solar installation training to over 4,000 individuals.

On July 1, 2019, Enphase Energy announced the first shipment of seventh-generation Enphase IQ™ microinverters produced in Mexico as part of its expanded manufacturing agreement with Flex. As previously announced, Enphase plans to sell products produced in Mexico into the U.S. market to mitigate tariffs, increase global capacity and improve customer delivery times.

THIRD QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

For the third quarter of 2019, Enphase Energy estimates both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results as follows:

  • Revenue to be within a range of $170 million to $180 million, including a range of $6 million to $10 million for ITC safe harbor
     
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin to be within a range of 33% to 36%
