AstroPower, Inc. Reports Record Third Quarter Revenue
Third Quarter Highlights
- Product Sales Increase 46.3% to $12.6 Million
- SunChoice(TM) Residential Rooftop System Test Marketing Program Completed Successfully
- Accelerating Capacity Expansion in Response to Unprecedented Worldwide Demand
- Sun-UPS(TM) Residential Rooftop System with Back-Up Power Function Approved For Florida Photovoltaic Buildings Program
NEWARK, Del., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- AstroPower, Inc. (Nasdaq: APWR - news), a leading supplier of solar electric power products, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000.

Financial Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, total revenues were a record $13,403,000, an increase of 43.3% from the 1999 third quarter. Product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were a record $12,555,000, an increase of 46.3% from the three months ended September 30, 1999. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, net income was $630,000 or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis on 13.0 million weighted average shares outstanding, as compared to $642,000 or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis on 9.8 million weighted average shares in the year-earlier period. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was adversely affected by $284,000 in legal and consulting expenses incurred in connection with the overhead dispute with the U. S. Government, which reduced EPS by $0.02 per share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, total revenues were a record $35,717,000, an increase of 45.9% from the comparable 1999 period. Product revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $33,264,000, an increase of 50.3% from the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was a record $2,699,000, an increase of 96.6% from the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Management Comments

Commenting on the quarter, Dr. Allen Barnett, President and CEO of AstroPower said, ``We are pleased to report another record sales quarter, driven once again by growth in product revenue. Customer demand for our products remains at unprecedented levels. We commented last quarter on the impact the German photovoltaic program was having on the market. Spain is the most recent European country to enact favorable legislation, and others are still to come. We are continuing to respond to demand by accelerating our manufacturing capacity expansion. In addition to expanding the hardware component of capacity, we are also growing the underlying support structure. We have aggressively hired in both the engineering and marketing and sales departments. This process has affected near term earnings, but we believe that this investment will enable us to capitalize on the accelerating demand for our products.``

Dr. Barnett added, ``Our residential rooftop program continues to be an exciting opportunity. We find that homeowners are increasingly interested in premium power systems that can safely and cleanly generate power on their own premises, even during a utility outage. Our SunUPS(TM) system is the first Photovoltaic (PV) system with battery storage to be approved under the Florida Photovoltaic Buildings Program of the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), and is among the few products actually in the market today to address the need for premium power. As a result of strong customer response to our SunChoice(TM) test marketing program, we recently announced that we had expanded our premium power marketing team. We are now organizing for a larger scale marketing rollout in 2001.``

Astropower ist bei Opel im Muster-Depot

[algood]

Bin in Astopower seit ca. EUR 22 investiert und bleibe dabei. Ich find es recht schwierig, bei dieser Volatilität Stops Losses zu setzen, da ich eigentlich nicht herausfliegen will und sehe dies als Langfristengagement. Bis Ultimo hatte ich einen Stop, der, wenn er noch gegolten hätte, nur knapp unterhalb des heutigen Kurses gelegen hätte.
Ist dieses Phänomen das, was man "sell on good news" nennt?

[marterpfahl]

Alles schön und gut !
Ihr könnt die Quartalszahlen auch noch 4mal reinkopieren, aber verstehen kann ich den Kursabfall trotzdem nicht.
Wer kann mir helfen ?

(ist aber eigentlich egal, in 1 Jahr sind wir mit apwr eh in der Nähe von 100 Dollar)

MfG marterpfahl

[schwobaman]

Schau doch mal bei finance.yahoo.com:
Die durschnittliche Analystenerwartung für das Sept-Quartal lag bei 0,09$ pro Aktie. Jetzt wurden, in wunderschöne Umsatzsteigerungs-
Prozentzahlen verpackt, 0,05$ pro share gemeldet das ist ein surprise von immerhin -45%. Dadurch wurden auch die Voraussagen von Dr. Allen Barnett unterboten,
der aufgrund der verstärkten Investitionstätigkeit einen stagnierenden Gewinn vorausgesagt hatte (das entspräche 0,07-0,08$).
Also kann man stark fallende Kurse bei der aktuellen Bewertung durchaus rechtfertigen.
Die Kursbewegungen hauptsächlich auf Aussagen eines gewissen Herrn F. zurückzuführen finde ich einfach lächerlich.
Bein seit 20$ dabei; werde halten und bei KGV unter 100 Haus und Hof verpfänden um mich mit APWR einzudecken.

Stay long, don`t support the treasury department!

Am heutigen Tag haben wir wieder einmal erlebt wie uns die Makler am Parkett über den Tisch ziehen können. Anstatt hier einen gerechten Preis zu stellen werden Stoploss bei 50 gnadenlos ausgelöst um diese, solange die US Börse noch geschlossen hat billig einzusammeln.

Mitleid an alle die ein Stoploss bei 50 gesetzt haben und bei 45 ausgeführt wurden.

Hi,

die Zahlen von Astropower hätten sehr sehr Gut ausfallen müssen. Da dies nicht geschéhen ist, war dieser Kursstutz vorauszusehen.

Die Aktie ist mit dem 65 fachen des Jahresumsatzes bewertet. Das KGV hat mit den Zahlen Astronomische Höhen angenommen.

Ich glaube das man die Aktie für die nächste Zeit meiden sollte. Denn der Kurs kann bis unter 20 Euro abrutschen. Bei 18-19 Euro scheint mir die Aktie mit Phantasie Fair bewertet zu sein.

Es ist meine persönliche Einschätzung.
