Management Commentary
“As the second highest revenue quarter in company history, the second quarter of 2011 demonstrated the performance and economic benefits of our products and solutions – from industry-leading energy and space efficiencies to high reliability – continue to resonate with datacenter and technology centric customers worldwide,” said Jim Clishem, president and CEO of Active Power.
“We realized a greater proportion of infrastructure solutions sales globally this quarter, including a number of large transactions in Asia. This change in product mix and some larger support costs for certain continuous power system deployments resulted in lower gross and operating margins. We see strong growth in our UPS and solutions business in the second half of 2011 and expect our margins to improve to enable us to reach profitability.”
“At the end of June, we had a number of large orders in progress and scheduled for second half delivery, which in turn resulted in a large increase in inventory and payables. We also made certain investments in research and development and added personnel to meet the increased demand in our sales pipeline. While these factors impacted the quarter’s profitability, we believe these investments will enable us to continue to grow the business and meet our financial and strategic objectives.”
Outlook
Active Power expects third quarter 2011 revenues to be between $18 million and $21 million. Third quarter earnings per share is expected to range between $(0.02) and $0.02 cents per share. Changes in cash and investments are expected to be driven by changes in working capital requirements.
