Advanced Energy Announces Third Quarter Results

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.

01.11.2011 23:01

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Revenue of $128.5 million

-- Results include a restructuring charge of $3.1 million

-- Cash increased to $155 million

FORT COLLINS, Colo., 2011-11-01 23:01 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Advanced Energy

Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS) today announced financial results for the third

quarter ended September 30, 2011. The company posted third quarter sales of

$128.5 million, operating income of 8.3% of sales and diluted earnings per

share from continuing operations of $0.16. On a non-GAAP basis, income

generated from operations was 10.7% of sales and earnings from our continuing

operations on a per share basis were $0.21. The non-GAAP measures exclude the

impact of the previously-announced $3.1 million restructuring charge recorded

in the third quarter. A reconciliation of non-GAAP income from operations and

per share earnings is provided in the tables.

'Tenuous macroeconomic conditions coupled with continuing declines in capital

equipment spending pressured our Thin Films business this quarter. We continue

to see revenue growth in our Solar Energy business as orders increased and the

deployment of our previously announced utility scale projects continued,' said

Garry Rogerson, chief executive officer. 'By taking pro-active measures to

re-align our resources and cost structure, Advanced Energy will be better

positioned to make strategic investments that we expect will extend our

leadership and improve profitability in the future. During the quarter, cash

increased by $9 million as working capital declined during the quarter.'

Thin Films Business Unit

Thin Films business unit sales were $76.8 million versus $103.6 million in the

third quarter of 2010. On a sequential basis, Thin Films sales declined 21.1%

from $97.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. Industry conditions across

most of the company's thin films end markets weakened this quarter.

Semiconductor equipment sales slowed as manufacturers limited purchases due to

low fab utilization rates. The thin film renewables market continued to

experience panel overcapacity and pricing pressure, while the flat panel

display market is undergoing a pause in investment as capacity comes on line.

Solar Energy Business Unit

Solar Energy business unit sales were $51.7 million in the quarter versus $37.4

million in the same period of 2010. On a sequential basis, Solar Energy sales

increased 26.7% from $40.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Despite the

solar panel industry's struggle with significant oversupply and ongoing price

declines, inverter sales grew once again this quarter due to utility-scale

shipments from large projects wins announced earlier this year.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations was $7.2 million or $0.16 per diluted share,

compared to income from continuing operations of $17.6 million or $0.40 per

diluted share in the same period last year. Income from continuing operations

was $13.5 million or $0.31 in the second quarter of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis,

excluding the impact of the restructuring charge, continuing operations

generated income for the quarter of $9.3 million or $0.21 per share.

Restructuring Charge

The restructuring charge incurred in the quarter related to the restructuring

plan that was announced on September 28, 2011. Under the first phase of the

plan, Advanced Energy will align its engineering resources with the geographic

footprint of its customer base. By localizing R&D within the major geographies

it serves, the company will improve its time to market and distance to key

customers, creating a more highly-focused and responsive development team. The

company will also transition the manufacture of certain solar inverter

subcomponents to its Shenzhen factory. This will lower product costs for its

Solar Energy business worldwide and enable regional fulfillment for complete

products in the growing Asian market. The anticipated savings from the

restructuring are approximately $6 million annually for the first phase.

The second phase will be implemented over the next 12 to 18 months as the

company reduces its cost structure, closes facilities and relocates certain

functions to different regions worldwide. As a result, the company anticipates

further charges in the amount of $8 to $12 million, principally for space

consolidation, and another $1 million in additional severance costs over this

timeframe. Once complete, these two phases of the restructuring plan, along

with other cost savings initiatives and margin improvements, are expected to

deliver annual savings of approximately $16 to $20 million.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Guidance

The Company anticipates fourth quarter 2011 results from continuing operations,

to be within the following ranges:

-- Sales of $105 million to $120 million

-- Non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately breakeven
