Northern Power Systems Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results; Completes Required Financial Filings to Remove Failure to File Ce...

BARRE, Vt., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Power Systems Corp. (TSX: NPS), a next generation renewable energy technology company, today announced financial results and completed its quarterly filing requirements for its second quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company expects trading to resume within four to five business days after this filing.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $8.7 million, compared to $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2015, and $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.5 million, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the prior year second quarter, and a loss of $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. Order backlog at June 30, 2016 was approximately $33 million as compared to $40 million at June 30, 2015, and $29 million at March 31, 2016.

"Revenues in our second quarter of 2016 increased sequentially as our core markets for distributed turbine sales returned to a standard seasonal expansion, although not to the level of business in the same period in 2015," stated Ciel Caldwell, president and chief operating officer of Northern Power Systems. "Our reduction in quarterly revenues year over year is explained equally by two factors: a reduction in our licensing revenues for our utility turbine technology, and lower sales volumes of distributed turbines in the United Kingdom attributable to the changes in on-shore distributed wind permitting in such region. Italy remains a core market for us and we are focusing on developing other regions leveraging the strong performance and value of our third generation distributed turbine."

Ms. Caldwell continued, "Our improvements in managing cash from operations in the quarter, as well as maturing our efforts to monetize our utility wind technology, give us confidence in the future of our balance sheet."

Consolidated Second Quarter Financial Metrics:

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 was at $8.7 million, compared to $13.0 million reported in the prior year period and $5.2 million reported in the first quarter of 2016.
Gross profit in the second quarter was 10.7 percent, down from gross profit of 13.9 percent in the prior year period.
GAAP net loss for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 was $2.5 million, representing a 7 percent decrease compared to a $2.7 million loss in the prior year second quarter.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss for the second quarter was $2.1 million, consistent with the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the prior year second quarter.

Failure-to-file Cease Trade Order

Today's filing of the interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, including the related management's discussion and analysis and certification (the "Q2 Filings"), constitutes an application pursuant to National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions to lift the failure-to-file cease trade order issued by the Ontario Stock Exchange on September 2, 2016. Northern Power Systems expects the failure-to-file cease trade order to be lifted within four to five business days of filing the Q2 Filings, at which point trading of Northern Power Systems' securities may resume.

About non-GAAP financial measures

To supplement Northern Power Systems' consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Northern Power Systems has used a non-GAAP financial measure, specifically non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA income (loss). Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA income (loss) is defined as net income (loss), excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, interest expense, tax provision or benefit, and certain other non-cash impacts as applicable.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net income (loss)" included at the end of this release. The table has more details on the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.

Northern Power Systems' management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information in assessing our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, which could be non-cash charges or discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. This non-GAAP financial measure also has facilitated management's internal comparisons to Northern Power Systems' historical performance and our competitors' operating results, as well as reflects measurements which are used by creditors and other third parties in assessing our performance.
