Advanced Energy Announces Strong First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

FORT COLLINS, Colo., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Sales were $88.9 million for the quarter, representing a decline of 17.2% from $107.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 and an increase of 6.0% from $83.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $6.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $12.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2007. However, net income increased sequentially from $4.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007, primarily due to higher revenues and gross profit.

"Strength in our solar equipment and flat panel display markets drove total revenue and EPS above our guided range this quarter. We were pleased with our continued diversification, as we grew our non-semiconductor business 18% sequentially," said Dr. Hans Betz, president and chief executive officer of Advanced Energy. "We implemented cost reductions in G&A during the first quarter that will equate to an estimated $5.5 million in annual savings. This will position us to operate more effectively and profitably in the future."

Second Quarter 2008 Guidance

The Company anticipates the semiconductor market to remain weak through the second quarter 2008 and our results to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $81 million to $87 million
-- Earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.12

Advanced Energy Announces 2007 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Financial Results

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. Sales were $83.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, in line with the Company's revised guidance announced on January 22, 2008. This represented a decrease of 19.8% from $104.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, and a sequential decline of 7.4% from $90.5 million in the third quarter of 2007, driven primarily by further declines in the semiconductor equipment industry and order delays by key OEMs.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 39.1%, down from 42.9% in the fourth quarter of 2006, and down from 40.6% in the third quarter of 2007, due to lower sales.

Net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $4.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $39.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2006, which includes a tax benefit of $23.5 million related to the reversal of a valuation allowance for deferred taxes. Net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2006, adjusted to exclude such tax benefit, was $15.9 million or $0.35 per diluted share. Net income from continuing operations also decreased sequentially from $5.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007.

Sales were $384.7 million for 2007, a 6.3% decrease from $410.7 million in 2006. Net income from continuing operations for 2007 was $34.4 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $87.2 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, in 2006. Net income from continuing operations for 2006, adjusted to exclude the tax benefit mentioned above, was $63.7 million, or $1.41 per diluted share.

"While 2007 was a challenging year for Advanced Energy, we have seen growth in our solar business including the successful launch of our Solaron(TM) inverter product. However, declines in the semiconductor equipment market pressured our sales once again in the fourth quarter," said Dr. Hans Betz, president and chief executive officer of Advanced Energy. "As we move into 2008, we continue to focus on the diversification of our business and are working to drive down our costs, thereby positioning Advanced Energy for growth and profitability."

First Quarter 2008 Guidance

The Company anticipates first quarter 2008 financial results to be within the following ranges:

* Sales of $82 million to $88 million
* Earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.11
* Effective tax rate of 32%

Advanced Energy Reports Solid 2008 Second Quarter Financial Results Driven by Growth in Solar Market
AdTech Ad

FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, (News) Inc. today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Sales of $88.0 million were driven by a 36% sequential increase in sales to non-semiconductor markets, which reached 48% of our total sales. Sales to the solar market led the way, topping 14% of total sales for the quarter, while service revenues also hit a record high. Total second quarter sales declined 1% versus the first quarter of 2008, and declined 14.6% from $103.0 million in the second quarter of 2007, both due to the continued weakness in the semiconductor capital equipment market. Our book to bill ratio for the quarter was strong at 1.05:1.

Gross margin for the second quarter was 40.1% versus 43.6% in the second quarter of 2007 due to lower sales and the related overhead absorption. Sequentially, gross margins were fractionally down from 40.3% in the first quarter of 2008.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $5.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as cost reduction efforts controlled our operating expenses, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2007. Net income decreased sequentially from $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2008, but earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 were slightly higher due to shares repurchased during the quarter.

"We executed on our diversification strategy, growing non-semiconductor revenue to record levels this quarter. Sales in each of our major non-semiconductor markets demonstrated strong growth, and demand for our products in the solar market reached its highest level yet," said Dr. Hans Betz, president and chief executive officer of Advanced Energy. "Further, we believe our ability to address these emerging markets will serve us well as we develop new applications for our technology and navigate through this cycle in the semiconductor market."

Third Quarter 2008 Guidance

The Company anticipates third quarter 2008 results to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $82 million to $88 million. -- Earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.12

Advanced Energy Announces 2008 Third Quarter Financial Results Driven by Record Solar Revenues

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, (News) Inc. today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008. Sales for the third quarter of 2008 were $84.5 million, which represented a 6.6% decline from $90.5 million in the same quarter a year ago and a 4.0% decline from $88.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. The decrease was attributed mainly to weakening global economic conditions and continued challenges in the semiconductor capital equipment market. Our book to bill ratio for the quarter was 0.92:1, with an ending backlog of $48.9 million.

Despite the overall decline in revenue, sales to non-semiconductor markets grew 11% sequentially to 48% of total sales for the quarter. Non-semiconductor performance was driven by sales to the solar market, which represented 23% of total revenue, and sales to the flat panel display market, which were also strong at 11% of total sales. Service sales grew to 18% of total revenue, as customers evaluated the benefits of making near-term investments versus extending the life of their existing equipment with upgrades and maintenance during these challenging economic times.

Gross margin for the third quarter was 41.7%, up from 40.6% in the third quarter of 2007, and 40.1% in the second quarter of 2008, due principally to a more favorable product mix.

Net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $5.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2007. Net income also decreased sequentially from $5.9 million or $0.14 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2008.

"Sales to the solar market reached their highest levels yet, and were once again key to the success of our quarterly results, aided by strength in sales to the flat panel display market and our service business. We continued to build out our non-semiconductor businesses with new products such as our recently announced 500KW Solaron inverter. The expansion of this product portfolio will allow us to penetrate larger inverter installations, including utilities and solar farms. Overall, we were pleased with our performance in the third quarter, especially in light of the particularly challenging economic environment," said Dr. Hans Betz, president and chief executive officer of Advanced Energy. "Unfortunately, the distressed economic conditions are impacting all markets and have led us to guide lower revenues and earnings for the fourth quarter. We will, however, take important steps to manage costs in order to maintain a healthy business, while investing in key products and markets to position the company for future opportunities."

Fourth Quarter 2008 Guidance

The Company anticipates fourth quarter 2008 results to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $66 million to $72 million. -- Earnings per share of ($0.05) to $0.01 Third Quarter 2008 Conference Call

Advanced Energy to Slash 330 Jobs, 22% of Workforce
by: Greentech Media March 13, 2009 | about stocks: AEIS


By Jeff St. John

Add Advanced Energy (AEIS) to the list of solar companies being forced to lay off workers in the face of a global recession.

The Fort Collins, Colo.-based maker of solar cells, semiconductors and grid-tie inverters, among other products, announced Thursday that it would lay off 330 workers, or about 22 percent of its workforce, by April.

That’s a bigger layoff than the company initially projected in December.

But after reporting in February that it lost $1.8 million in 2008 — a sharp decline from profits of $34.4 million in 2007 — Advanced Energy said it needed to cut staff to “streamline our operations, and enable us to continue to focus on key market opportunities.”

It isn’t the first solar company to cut staff. Since December, Suntech (STP), Heliovolt, Optisolar, and SunEdison have announced layoffs (see here, here, here and here).

In January, Ausra announced it had laid off about 10 percent of its staff and shifted its business goals from building large-scale solar-thermal plants to selling solar steam generating systems to power plants and other industrial and mining customers.

And solar panel maker Entech Solar announced earlier this month that it would lay off 40 percent of its employees, shortly after it merged withsolar installer World Water & Solar.

Other renewable energy companies are feeling the pinch as well. Wind tower maker DMI Industries announced it would cut about 20 percent of its workforce in January, and Spanish wind turbine maker Gamesa said it was cutting about 180 of 720 workers at a Pennsylvania factory.

Surpassing Their Own Record, Advanced Energy(R) Solaron(R) Inverters Achieve the Highest-Ever CEC Efficiency Ratings / Solaron 333 kW and 500 kW models now listed with best-ever 97.5 percent CEC-weighted (California Energy Commission) efficiency ratings

FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. today announced that its expanding portfolio of Solaron(R) photovoltaic (PV) inverters has again achieved record-setting ratings in the California Energy Commission (CEC) list of approved inverters. Last month, AE inverters exceeded their own record of 97 percent CEC-weighted efficiency by posting a 97.5 percent CEC efficiency rating-an achievement unmatched by any other line of grid-tie, commercial and utility-scale inverters.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030825/AEISLOGO)

Solaron 333 kW models, which were introduced to the market in 2007, have now surpassed their original CEC-weighted efficiencies of 97 percent to be rated at 97.5 percent, with peak efficiencies of 98.2 percent. In addition, the newly introduced Solaron 500 kW utility-scale inverter has been rated at 97.5 CEC-weighted efficiency, with a recorded peak efficiency of 98.5 percent.

The CEC is the leading North American agency to review, compile and approve inverters for commercial use. The CEC posts specifications for hundreds of inverters that have been approved by certified testing facilities. Commercial and utility-scale inverters with current CEC ratings can be found at: http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/equipment/inverter.php. When graphed as shown (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090623/LA36274), the data from the above website indicates that Solaron inverters rank highest in both efficiency and power output (graph was generated by AE, using the CEC's 462 data points posted March 31, 2009).

President and CEO of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Dr. Hans Betz, noted, "LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) is a primary measure of PV-system success. The unsurpassed LCOE of AE's Solaron portfolio is directly driven by its superior efficiency and competitive cost of operation."

The Solaron Portfolio

The Solaron portfolio is available in North America, Asia and the European Union. The platform includes 333 kW and 500 kW inverters with robust controls, patented, soft-switching technology, NRTL-certification to UL 1741, wide MPP (maximum power point) tracking window as well as remote monitoring of the PV system from anywhere at anytime. The unique Solaron RPT(TM) (Remote PV Tie) accessory can reduce balance-of-system costs by reducing the length and number of large diameter cables within large PV arrays. Solaron service solutions deliver a lifetime of support--from installation verification and training, to warranty periods of up to 20 years through AE's SafeGuard(SM) customized support options.

Advanced Energy Announces First Quarter 2009 Results

FORT COLLINS, Colo., April 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Sales for the first quarter of 2009 were $32.6 million, representing a 63.3% decline from $88.9 million in the same quarter a year ago and a 51.7% decline from $67.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Sales were lower across all of the Company's markets, as the global financial crisis reduced consumer and commercial spending, resulting in limited capital expansion in our markets. Our book to bill ratio for the quarter increased sequentially to 0.87:1, from quarter's 0.70:1, from the fourth quarter of 2008, though on a much lower revenue base.

Our gross margins in the first quarter were impacted by the lower revenues, resulting in lower absorption of manufacturing overhead in the first quarter. Margins fell to 19.6%, down from 40.3% in the first quarter of 2008 and 27.2% in the fourth quarter of 2008.

During the quarter we implemented a restructuring plan that resulted in a charge of $3.4 million or $0.08 per share related to a reduction in workforce. Due to the current economic downturn and a significant decline in the Company's market capitalization, we recorded an estimated non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter of $63.3 million or $1.51 per share related to our goodwill. These charges do not affect our cash balance, liquidity, or operating cash flow.

The result was a net loss for the first quarter of 2009 of $79.8 million, or $1.90 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.13 earnings per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008. The quarterly net loss increased from $19.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008. Our balance sheet remained strong as we closed the quarter with $173.4 million of cash and investments.

"This was an exceptionally difficult quarter as we experienced revenue levels not seen since the late 1990s. We responded once again by reducing our cost structure, yet maintaining our critical technology development and product initiatives. Our healthy balance sheet remains a key strategic asset, which we plan to leverage during these difficult times," said Hans Betz, president and CEO. "Although we experienced a significant drop in all of our markets during the quarter and visibility remains limited, we have seen some positive signs of investment in some markets, which we hope will provide some near-term stability. We remain committed to our strategy of being the strong and healthy supplier of choice to all of our OEM and end user customers."

Second Quarter 2009 Guidance

The Company anticipates second quarter 2009 results to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $30.0 million to $36.0 million

-- Loss per share of $0.41 to $0.34

Advanced Energy Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results

FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Sales for the second quarter of 2009 were $35.6 million, a 9.2% increase from $32.6 million in the first quarter of 2009. Sales decreased 59.6% from $88.0 million in the second quarter of 2008.

Sales to the semiconductor market drove overall sales growth, increasing 27.3% sequentially to $12.2 million. Semiconductor equipment OEMs worked through their inventories and fabs increased utilization, reflecting what we believe is the beginning of the market recovery. With equipment sitting idle for the last few quarters, manufacturers' need for repairs and upgrades also grew, leading to a sequential increase of 14.2% in service and support revenues to $8.8 million, taking them to 24.8% of total sales. Sales to our non-semiconductor markets fell 5.0% to $14.6 million and represented 41.0% of total sales for the quarter. Strong orders during the quarter drove a sequential increase in our book to bill ratio to 1.06:1 from 0.87:1 in the first quarter of 2009 on a higher revenue base.

Higher revenues and the cost reduction efforts that have been implemented over the last several quarters resulted in improved gross margins of 22.3% in the second quarter, up from 19.6% in the first quarter of 2009. Gross margins decreased from 40.1% in the second quarter of 2008.

The second quarter net loss was $16.0 million or $0.38 loss per share, up from a net loss of $79.8 million or $1.90 loss per share in the first quarter of 2009, which included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $63.3 million or $1.51 loss per share. Net income was $5.9 million or $0.14 earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2008.

"We were pleased with the improvement in our second quarter results, which we believe points to signs of modest recovery in certain markets. For the first time in more than a year, sales to our semiconductor OEMs increased. Sales to our semi-related service business also grew, typically reflecting near-term modest growth in the semiconductor market," said Hans Betz, president and CEO.

"Our strong commitment to technology investment is fueling our diversification strategy. As such, we are very encouraged by the order momentum for our 500KW Solaron inverter. The successful launch of the 500KW Solaron demonstrates AE's commitment to technology development as we look to expand our product portfolio and our market presence."

Third Quarter 2009 Guidance

The Company anticipates third quarter 2009 results to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $40 million to $45 million -- Loss per share of $0.35 to $0.29 Second Quarter 2009 Conference Call

Advanced Energy(R) Introduces a European Version of Solaron(R) 500 kW Photovoltaic Inverter

FORT COLLINS, Colorado, September 15 /PRNewswire/ --

- Backed by nearly 30 years of experience perfecting power conversion solutions, Solaron(R) inverters enable customers to achieve the lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE)

Advanced Energy(R) Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) introduced today the Solaron(R) 500E, a European model of its high-efficiency, transformerless, grid-tie photovoltaic (PV) inverter. Operating at 500 kW, the Solaron 500E enables European commercial and utility-scale PV installations to achieve the lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE) in the industry by increasing energy harvests and by reducing balance-of-system (BoS) and operating and maintenance (O&M) costs.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030825/AEISLOGO)

Rated at a record-setting 97.5 percent CEC-weighted (97.7 percent European-weighted) efficiency, the Solaron inverter enables higher energy harvests through its robust controls and patented soft-switching technology. The Solaron inverter's transformerless design eliminates the need for a step-up transformer and makes it smaller and lighter than competitive products. The design of the Solaron inverter also allows multiple inverter connections to a single medium-voltage transformer, minimizing the number of such transformers required for a system. Additionally, the Solaron inverter comes in an outdoor-ready IP45 enclosure that eliminates the need for and the cost of additional heating and cooling systems. To reduce O&M costs, Advanced Energy offers industry-leading service and support, including extended warranties up to 20 years and customizable SafeGuard(R) service programs.

"Following the successful rollout of the Solaron platform in the U.S. market, we are pleased to now offer the same industry-leading, high performance features to the European market," said Dr. Hans Betz, president and CEO of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. "We believe our Solaron product delivers the most effective inverter solution and allows customers to achieve maximum power and cost performance from their systems."

The acquisition is expected to add an estimated $40-50 million to Advanced Energy's 2010 revenues and be neutral to marginally dilutive to GAAP net income in 2010.

"We are very excited to announce this acquisition and believe the combination of Advanced Energy and PV Powered will continue our strong momentum in the inverter market, propelling us forward as a leading manufacturer of solar inverters in North America. The addition of PV Powered's transformer-based inverters with power levels below 500kw for the small to mid range commercial inverter market allows Advanced Energy to target a portion of the market that we have not yet addressed. As a combined company, our comprehensive portfolio of both transformerless and transformer-based inverter products will serve the entire spectrum of commercial project sizes from 30kw to multi-megawatt utility installations, placing us firmly at the heart of the emerging and fast-growing solar inverter market," said Hans Betz, chief executive officer of Advanced Energy.

PV Powered is an innovation leader for high-reliability transformer-based PV inverters utilized in commercial roof top and ground mount systems in the North American market. Founded in 2003 and based in Bend, Oregon, PV Powered is a privately held company with approximately 90 employees and $21 million of revenues in 2009. Its inverters range in size from 30kw to 260kw for the commercial market and 1kw to 5kw for the residential market, with market leading efficiency ratings. PV Powered's experienced inverter engineering team has continuously optimized the performance and reliability of its inverters allowing PV Powered to offer the industry's first standard 10 year product warranty and optional 20 year extended warranty.

"The employees and management of PV Powered are extremely excited at the prospect of joining Advanced Energy," said Gregg Patterson, chief executive officer of PV Powered. "PV Powered and Advanced Energy have a collective history of industry innovation, driven by a commitment to power conversion efficiency and inverter reliability that leads the market. Both organizations share a common mission to deliver the lowest levelized cost of energy and the highest levels of customer satisfaction. Together, we can offer the broadest technology and product portfolio in the industry."

Under the agreement, Advanced Energy will acquire PV Powered for a purchase price of up to $90 million consisting of $50 million to be paid at closing in the form of $35 million in cash and $15 million in Advanced Energy's common stock, as well as up to $40 million in a potential earn-out based on PV Powered's full year 2010 financial results. The transaction will be subject to a number of other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals including Hart Scott Rodino. Throughout 2010, PV Powered will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary, continuing to sell and support its PV Powered branded inverters.

Currently, we anticipate sales of PV Powered's inverter to contribute as much as $40M-$50 million to Advanced Energy's 2010 revenue. Of that, we expect $30-35 million to come from sales to the commercial market and $10-15 million from the residential market. We anticipate gross margins on these products to be in the range of 26-29% and have additional operating expenses of $3-4 million.

Needham&Company, LLC acted as the financial advisor and provided a fairness opinion to Advanced Energy related to this transaction.

PV Powered also contributed to our bottom line, delivering a profitable second quarter ahead of expectations and making the acquisition immediately accretive. The addition of this excellent team and product line to our Solaron inverter business positions us to forge ahead and take the leading position in the US market for inverters and expand worldwide."

"Additionally, today we announced that we are divesting our flow business. We see this move as a crucial part of our corporate strategy to focus the company on becoming the market leader in power conversion and capitalize on future growth opportunities."

Semiconductor sales rose 9.9% sequentially to $53.5 million, representing 46.4% of total sales for the quarter. Sales to the non-semiconductor thin film markets increased 87.2% sequentially to $35.9 million, representing 31.2% of total sales for the quarter. Inverter sales grew substantially with the addition of PV Powered to $14.4 million to 12.5% of total sales compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter. Service revenue was flat sequentially at $11.4 million, representing 9.9% of total sales for the quarter.

Bookings for the second quarter, including $15.3 million for the mass flow controller business, hit a record of $154.3 million, or a 60.0% increase, compared to $96.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.34:1 for the second quarter. Ending backlog for the second quarter increased 52.0% sequentially to $123.6 million, including $14.4 million for the flow business, compared to $81.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2010.

Advanced Energy also announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its flow business, related product lines and all related assets including the real property in Japan to Hitachi Metals, Ltd. for $44 million in cash, subject to an adjustment based on inventory balance at closing. The company anticipates this transaction will close in the third quarter of 2010 subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

As a result of this transaction, the financial results for our flow business will be recorded in discontinued operations on a net basis beginning with the second quarter 2010. These amounts are revenue of $15.1 million, gross profit of $5.3 million, operating expenses of $1.7 million and net income of $2.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Comparable results for the flow business for the second quarter of 2009 were revenues of $3.7 million, gross profit of $0.6 million, operating expenses of $1.3 million and a net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. For comparative purposes, the financial results discussed below assume the adjustments for the divestiture have been made.

Excluding the flow business, sales for the second quarter of 2010 increased 43.6% to $100.1 million from $69.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, and up substantially from $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Gross margin for the second quarter was 44.5%, compared with 41.9% in the first quarter of 2010, as a result of higher revenues and leverage from overhead absorption. This compares to gross margin of 22.8% in the same period last year.

Operating expenses for the second quarter increased to $31.5 million. This increase was significantly driven by the addition of approximately two months of operating costs associated with the acquisition of PV Powered, including an additional $767,000 of amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Second quarter net income from continuing operations was $11.5 million or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $4.9 million or $0.11 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010. In the same period a year ago, net loss from continuing operations was $16.0 million or a loss of $0.38 per share.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $128.9 million at the end of the second quarter, versus $163.4 million in the first quarter reflecting the $35 million payment for the PV Powered acquisition.

Third Quarter 2010 Guidance

The Company anticipates third quarter 2010 results from continuing operations, without revenues from the flow business, to be within the following ranges:

* Sales of $130.0 million to $140.0 million
* Earnings per share of $0.36 to $0.44

Two new business units focused on Thin Film and Renewable Energy markets formed to accelerate growth

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq GM: AEIS) today announced the creation of two focused business units within the company effective January 1, 2011. The two business units, Thin Films and Renewables, will enable improved execution and a strategic focus on two distinct markets. Both business units will leverage the deep competencies in power conversion and energy management that Advanced Energy has developed in the last 25+ years.

"The re-alignment of AE's businesses reflects the success of our strategy to maintain our leadership in thin film markets, while also expanding into high-growth renewable markets with our inverter product portfolio," said Hans Betz, CEO of Advanced Energy. "The Thin Films business unit will serve principally our OEM and end customers in the semiconductor, flat panel display, solar module and other capital equipment markets, while the Renewables business unit will focus on string, commercial and utility-scale solar projects and installations, selling primarily to distributors, EPCs (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contractors), developers, and utility companies. The creation of these two units will enable greater focus on each business' unique needs and requirements, allowing each to expand and accelerate our growth by better serving each of these very different industries."

The Thin Films business unit will be managed by Yuval Wasserman in addition to his role as the company's President and Chief Operating Officer, and will be headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado. Since joining Advanced Energy in 2007, Mr. Wasserman has leveraged his over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry and has been instrumental in AE's growth strategy. The Thin Films business unit will consist of the company's power conversion and thermal instrumentation products serving capital equipment markets including semiconductor, solar panel, and flat panel display.

The Renewables business unit headquartered in Bend, Oregon will be managed by Gregg Patterson in the role of Executive Vice President and General Manager effective January 1st. Mr. Patterson successfully grew PV Powered from a small residential business into a leader in the North American Solar Industry over the past four years. Mr. Patterson brings over 26 years of experience in the high tech industry having spent 22 years with Hewlett Packard leading various worldwide businesses prior to joining PV Powered. The Renewables business unit will include the PV Powered and Solaron solar inverter products that have set the standard for reliability, efficiency and LCOE performance in the worldwide markets they serve. Wasserman and Patterson will report directly to Hans Betz.

"We are excited to have these two industry veterans lead our business units in 2011," said Dr. Betz. "Yuval's extensive experience in successfully managing through cyclical thin film markets combined with Gregg's knowledge of the renewables market and ability to build and manage a high growth business such as PV Powered will create new opportunities and enable us to execute on our growth strategy for 2011 and beyond."

FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 5, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS) today updated its outlook for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Based on preliminary financial data, the company now expects to report revenue between $137 million and $140 million for the second quarter of 2011, below the range of $148 million to $160 million it projected on May 2, 2011, and earnings at the low end of, or slightly lower than the range it projected on May 2, 2011.
"The performance of our renewables business drove our lower than expected second quarter revenue, while our thin film business performed in-line with our expectations. Our results were primarily impacted by changing solar market conditions driven by panel price declines, short lead-times for components, and permitting and financing delays. These trends are causing some customers to push-out purchases until panel prices stabilize, leading to the postponement of construction of their projects. Additionally, changing incentive programs in certain regions, coupled with increasing competition, affected the quarter and continue to be ongoing industry dynamics. While we are disappointed in our renewables results this quarter, our recently-announced large project wins reinforce our confidence in our strategy of selling based on LCOE (levelized cost of energy), which we believe will continue to differentiate us from our competitors," said Dr. Hans Betz, chief executive officer.

Advanced Energy Announces Second Quarter Results
-- Revenue of $138.2 million, a 38.1% increase over Q2, 2010

-- Operating Income of $17.3 million, 12.5% of revenue

-- EPS of $0.31 share


FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 25, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011. The company posted second quarter sales of $138.2 million, operating income of 12.5%, and earnings of $0.31 per diluted share from continuing operations.

"Our renewables business in the second quarter was pressured by several industry dynamics, including declining panel prices, increasing competition, and changing incentive programs, which impacted our results more than anticipated. We were nonetheless pleased that our thin films business unit was in-line with expectations," said Dr. Hans Betz, chief executive officer. "Looking at our expectations for the remainder of 2011, we believe the benefits of our diversification strategy become clear. As our thin film business softens with market cyclicality, our renewables business is poised to capture previously-deferred business as customers initiate projects in order to take advantage of tax credits by year-end. Longer-term, we continue to see demand for our utility-scale inverter products in North America and remain confident that Advanced Energy's strategy of selling based on levelized cost of energy (LCOE), superior uptime performance and best-in-class service offering will continue to differentiate us in the market."

Thin Film Business Unit

Thin Films business unit sales were $97.3 million versus $85.7 million in the same period of 2010, a 13.5% improvement year over year. Total Thin Film sales met our expectations this quarter, although declined slightly on a sequential basis from $100.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. Strength in our flat panel display market this quarter was somewhat offset by the initial signs of a pause in semiconductor capital spending, as well as the overcapacity and resulting price declines in the solar panel industry.

Renewables Business Unit

Renewables business unit sales were $40.8 million in the quarter versus $14.4 million in the same period of 2010. The significant year-over-year improvement reflects the acquisition of PV Powered and the ongoing growth of the North American solar equipment market. Renewable sales were impacted by several industry dynamics during the quarter, leading to slower than anticipated sequential growth of 9%.

Operating income was $17.3 million or 12.5% of revenue. Net income from continuing operations was $13.5 million or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $18.8 million or $0.43 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011.

Bookings for the second quarter were $101.7 million.

Third Quarter 2011 Guidance

The Company anticipates third quarter 2011 results from continuing operations, to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $130 million to $145 million

-- Earnings per share of $0.20 to $0.30

Advanced Energy realigning manufacturing operations and reducing workforce


According to Avian Securities, financial analyst, Mark Bachman the company was shifting manufacturing away from facilities in Colorado and Oregon to China as smaller subcomponent assembly was labour intensive.

Lacking real details, Advanced Energy is shifting certain component assembly operations from the US to China as part of a wider cost reduction program instigated by its recently appointed new CEO, Garry Rogerson. Some of its solar inverter subcomponents assembly work will shift to its factory in Shenzhen, China, while final assembly and testing of solar inverter products would remain close to end markets. AE did not disclose how many jobs would lost in the restructuring, which was estimated to cost approximately US$2.5-US$3.5 million, initially.

"After two months at Advanced Energy, I continue to be impressed with the company's strong leadership in the power conversion market," said Garry Rogerson, chief executive officer. "The currently challenging environment in the end markets served by both the thin films and solar business units has prompted us to move forward on implementing our long-term strategic plan, which will be discussed at our upcoming analyst event. The initiatives announced today position us closer to our customers in high growth markets worldwide. We expect this will contribute to greater profitability and flexibility during the cyclical peaks and troughs of the thin films business. This will better position us to invest in strategic growth areas and remain at the forefront of the industry."

According to Avian Securities, financial analyst, Mark Bachman the company was shifting manufacturing away from facilities in Colorado and Oregon to China as smaller subcomponent assembly was labour intensive. As inverters for utility-scale markets are large and heavy, Bachman expects final manufacturing to remain close to end-markets. Bachman said that AE employed 1,788 at year-end 2010.

AE noted that it would provide more details of the restructuring in late November, during a financial analyst event, after third quarter financial results would be announced.

Income from continuing operations was $0.8 million or $0.02 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations was $2.4 million and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.06. The non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of $2.6 million in restructuring charges recorded in the first quarter. A reconciliation of non-GAAP income from continuing operations and earnings per share is provided in the tables. We ended the quarter with $150.7 million in cash and investments, having generated $29.4 million of cash during the quarter excluding the share repurchase of $21.9 million.

"Exiting the first quarter we further reduced our cost structure and lowered our breakeven in both our Thin Films and Solar Energy business units," said Garry Rogerson, chief executive officer.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the impact of the restructuring charge, income from continuing operations was $2.4 million or $0.06 per diluted share up from $0.5 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Restructuring Charge

The company incurred $2.6 million in charges this quarter related to the restructuring plan that was announced on September 28, 2011.

The remainder of the restructuring plan is expected to be implemented over the next 6 to 12 months as the company further reduces its cost structure, closes facilities, and relocates other functions to different regions worldwide. As a result, the company anticipates further charges in the amount of $2 to $6 million, principally for space consolidation, and another $1 million in additional severance costs over this timeframe. Once complete, the restructuring plan, along with other cost savings initiatives and margin improvements, is currently expected to deliver annual savings in excess of $30 million, well ahead of our original plan.

Second Quarter 2012 Guidance

The company anticipates second quarter 2012 results from continuing operations to be within the following ranges:

Sales of $114 million to $120 million
Non-GAAP per share earnings of $0.11 to $0.14

Advanced Energy übernimmt Refusol

10. April 2013 | Märkte und Trends, Topnews


Der deutsche Wechselrichter-Hersteller ist nun Teil des US-Technologieunternehmens. Beide Seite unterzeichneten bereits den Vertrag. Advanced Energy zahlt einen Kaufpreis von 59 Millionen Euro für Refusol.


Refusol wird nun Teil von Advanced Energy. Ein entsprechender Vertrag mit dem US-Technologieunternehmen sei bereits unterzeichnet worden, teilte der deutsche Wechselrichter-Hersteller aus Metzingen mit. Die Produktpalette der Unternehmen ergänze sich. Während sich Refusol vor allem auf dreiphasige Stringwechselrichter konzentriere, liege der Schwerpunkt bei Advanced Energy bei Zentralwechselrichtern. Beide Unternehmen ergänzten sich auch bei der Präsenz. Für den deutschen Hersteller bedeutet die Übernahme auch einen besseren Zugang auf internationale Photovoltaik-Märkte.

Der Vertrag sei am 9. April vollzogen worden, sagte der Marketing-Leiter von Refusol, Michael Groll, auf Anfrage von pv magazine. Der deutsche Standort in Metzingen bleibe erhalten. Weitere Details zu der Vereinbarung zwischen den Unternehmen wollte Groll aber nicht nennen. Nach Angaben von Advanced Energy lag der Kaufpreis für Refusol bei rund 59 Millionen Euro in bar. Geplant seien dabei auch die Übernahme der Schulden in Höhe von 9 Millionen Euro sowie die Reduzierung des Nettoumlaufvermögens um 1,8 Millionen Euro. Zusätzlich gebe es noch eine Option für zehn Millionen Euro, die in bar und Aktienanteilen ausbezahlt werden können. Daran sind aber bestimmte Gewinnziele für die ersten 12 Monate nach Vertragsschluss geknüpft, wie es weiter hieß. Advanced Energy verspricht sich von der Übernahme eine Steigerung seines Umsatzes auf mehr als 400 Millionen US-Dollar (umgerechnet knapp 306 Millionen Euro). (Sandra Enkhardt)

Advanced Energy decides to close down PV inverter business

PV inverter manufacturer Advanced Energy Industries (AE) has decided after more than a six month review to finally exit the sector and focus on its semiconductor business.


AE said that discussions with unidentified third parties in respect to a potential sale of the entire solar operations, which included AE Solar Energy Inc., AEI Power GmbH and other subsidiaries, were deemed insufficient in terms of returns for shareholders, customers, employees and partners.

Yuval Wasserman, President and CEO of Advanced Energy said, "Following on the heels of a strong 2014 and first quarter 2015 in Precision Power that reinforced the strength of our business model, and after an extensive strategic process over the last six months, we concluded that focusing solely on our Precision Power business, and exiting the Solar Inverter business aligns with our long-term goal of maximizing value for our shareholders.”

Due the complete winding down of its PV inverter operations, AE said that expected to record a pre-tax charge of approximately US$260 million to US$290 million.

Around US$150 million of charges are being attributed to impairment of goodwill and intangibles. AE also noted that around US$45 million to US$75 million was being charged to the write down of inventory, fixed and other assets, while US$15 million would be allocated in relation to employee termination cost.

A further US$10 million would be attributed to tax valuation allowances and the remaining US$40 million for other unspecified costs to exit the business.

Cash costs for severance and other expenses were expected to range from US$30 million to US$45 million of which US$20 million to US$30 million would be incurred in 2015 and further small amounts in subsequent years, according to the company.

The company did not disclose how many employees would be impacted by the closure of its PV inverter operations.

According to market research firm IHS, AE had been the 11th largest inverter supplier globally and the fifth largest supplier in the US at the end of 2014. However, in the earlier period of US PV market growth, AE had been the leading supplier in around 2010.

Overall the PV inverter market has been highly competitive for several years, with low barrier to entry and large supplier base.

IHS said that AE had dropped outside of the top ten rankings in 2014, following market share loss in three-phase high power (>99kW) inverter segment in its domestic market, which also experienced major ASP declines.

Despite acquiring German PV inverter firm RefuSol in 2013, demand for inverters has quickly shifted from Europe, notably Germany to Asia, compounding AE’s market challenges, noted IHS.
