Here we go:

Sales orders for the year 2014 already exceed $60 million. The company also has a strong balance sheet, with over $66 million in cash as of today.

In January 2014, Plug Power (PLUG) launched its new all-inclusive GenKey solution that provides customers with GenDrive fuel cells, GenFuel hydrogen infrastructure and fuel supply, and GenCare year-round maintenance service. In February, Plug Power announced that Walmart would be the first multiple site GenKey customer, with a contract that is being implemented at six Walmart North America distribution centers over the next two years.

"Although a lot has happened since our last call, I am more bullish than ever that Plug Power is moving into a rapid-growth cycle," said Andy Marsh. "We kicked off the first quarter of 2014 by signing a multi-site, multi-year GenKey contract with Walmart that surpassed our Q1 goals. I firmly believe that this continuing momentum will carry on throughout 2014, and that orders for this year will total more than $150 million almost four times our total for 2013. We also are on track to achieve our goal of EBITDAS break even by Q3 2014."

Plug Power Announces 2013 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
Thu March 13, 2014 7:00 AM|GlobeNewswire | About: PLUG


LATHAM, N.Y., March 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (Nasdaq:PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, today reported its 2013 fourth quarter and year-end financial results.

Plug Power's growing sales momentum in 2013 continued as the year progressed, with bookings in the fourth quarter of $32 million.

Strong fourth quarter product sales and maintenance orders were received from significant customers such as Walmart, Kroger, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. These orders followed on the heels of an investor update on October 8th during which CEO Andy Marsh discussed company plans to expand into providing hydrogen to customers and revealed negotiations that were underway for new multi-site deals with several customers preparing to deploy fuel cells in their material handling fleets.

Sales orders for the year 2014 already exceed $60 million. The company also has a strong balance sheet, with over $66 million in cash as of today.

In January 2014, Plug Power (PLUG) launched its new all-inclusive GenKey solution that provides customers with GenDrive fuel cells, GenFuel hydrogen infrastructure and fuel supply, and GenCare year-round maintenance service. In February, Plug Power announced that Walmart would be the first multiple site GenKey customer, with a contract that is being implemented at six Walmart North America distribution centers over the next two years.

"Although a lot has happened since our last call, I am more bullish than ever that Plug Power is moving into a rapid-growth cycle," said Andy Marsh. "We kicked off the first quarter of 2014 by signing a multi-site, multi-year GenKey contract with Walmart that surpassed our Q1 goals. I firmly believe that this continuing momentum will carry on throughout 2014, and that orders for this year will total more than $150 million almost four times our total for 2013. We also are on track to achieve our goal of EBITDAS break even by Q3 2014."

EBITDAS $ (6,324) $ (7,853) $ (22,605) $ (30,294)

EBITDAS is defined as operating income (loss), as adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense and charges for equity compensation. EBITDAS is a non-GAAP measure of our financial performance and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Reconciliation of Gross margin percentage to Adjusted gross margin percentage

Three months ended Dec 31, Twelve months ended Dec 31,

Product and service revenues, as reported $ 7,765 $ 5,696 $ 25,105 $ 24,407

Cost of product and service revenue $ 10,559 $ 9,106 $ 35,343 $ 37,658

Gross margin percentage (36.0%) (59.9%) (40.8%) (54.3%)

Adjusted gross margin percentage (36.8%) (107.9%) (44.1%) (52.6%)

Gross margin percentage is a financial ratio used to indicate the relationship between cost of product and service revenue and product and service revenue. We use the term adjusted gross margin percentage to refer to product and service revenue, as adjusted, less total cost of product and service revenue as a percentage of product and service revenue, as adjusted. This non-GAAP financial measure allows management to view gross margin percentage as if revenue had been fully recognized upon invoicing. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allow us and our investors to better evaluate short-term and long-term profitability trends.

While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 46.620.019 von dahool23 am 13.03.14 09:33:24

Hi there,

drücke uns (Fuel Cell Interessierten jeglicher Couleur) da mal die Daumen, denn momentan sind mehr oder weniger alle einschlägigen Firmen sowas wie Siamesische Zwillinge / Drillinge / Fünflinge - you name it ...

Wird spannend zu sehen, wer sich mittelfristig am besten entwickelt ... ich bin mir ziemlich sicher dass BALLARD ganz vorne mitspielen wird, denn "sie machen die Schaufeln" die z.B. PLUG zum Graben braucht.

Will sagen: BALLARD hat die wesentlichen Patente und mit Sicherheit die meiste Erfahrung und das umfassendste Know-How zur (PEM) Brennstoffzellentechnologie - sonst hätte sich VW sicher einen anderen Engineering Consultatnt & Partner gesucht.

Schlussfolgerung für mich: selbst wenn für PLUG der Worst Case einträte (WALMART nur Kunde wegen Government Incentives und so weiter - halt der ganze "50 Cent" Blödsinn von vorgestern) und die Company auch mittelfristig nicht profitabel ist)- wird BALLARD seinen Erfolgsweg gehen:

emissionsfreie Busse für China und den Rest der Welt

Basis Supplier für die "Neue Welle" im Automobilbau

enge Zusammenarbeit mit ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM im aufkommenden Home Generation Market in Südafrika und ähnlichen Ländern mit riesigem(!)Infrastrukturnachholbedarf

Main Supplier für PLUG POWER (und die haben definitiv umfangreiche Aufträge nicht nur von WALMART, sondern auch anderen Big Players wie BMW und KROGER im Auftragsbuch)

profitables Licencing Business - denn die in der Vergangenheit im Hause teuer entwickelte Top-Notch-Technology kann endlich woanders massenweise produziert werden und dem Erfinder / Innovator endlich ordentliche Profite in die Kassen spülen

und natürlich Telekom Backup, die im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes (Über-)Lebensader für BALLARD, wo sie unschlagbar sind und (meine Prognose) nach Superstorm Sandy dieses jahr in USA gute Neugeschäfte machen werden.

Hab ich was vergessen? (Correct me if I´m wrong or not systematic enough !)

Glückauf: Weltgeist

[dahool23]

tja... wer weiß das schon... vielleicht haben die auf nen Abverkauf EOD gehofft... aber der blieb aus, und die wollten doch noch dabei sein... man steckt nicht drin.

[kampfhundstreichler]

Zitat von dahool23: Heute wird PLUG liefern, und auch Ballard wird davon profitieren, die Zahlen von Ballard waren ja schon gut, diese resultieren ja teilweise auch aus dem Geschäft von PLUG, die Zahlen von Plug sind also auch positiv zu werten. Gestern Nachbörslich wurden noch große Stücke gekauft, die mir sagen, hier wissen einige schon wie das Ergebnis ausssehen wird...

Also ich bleibe dabei, dass ballard bei Eröffnung hoch gehen wird.

Die Frage ist doch nur, wenn einige schon wissen, wie das Ergebnis aussehen wird, warum haben sie dann nachbörslich gekauft und nicht 1-2 Stunden früher waehrend der Handelszeit. Dann haetten sie die Topware 2% billiger bekommen
