- Record Revenue of $20.0 Million
- Announced Merger With Alteris Renewables to Expand Into Northeast Market
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Real Goods Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq:RSOL), a leading residential and commercial solar energy EPC provider, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2011 increased 13.8% to $20.0 million from $17.5 million recorded in the same period last year. The majority of the year-over-year revenue growth was organic.
Gross profit increased to $5.4 million, or 26.9% of net revenue, for the second quarter of 2011 from $5.0 million, or 28.7% of net revenue, in the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit percentage primarily reflects an increase in the mix of commercial projects.
Operating expenses increased $0.6 million to $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 from $4.6 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily attributable to an investment in commercial operations.
Acquisition-related costs of $2.0 million are attributable to the merger with Earth Friendly Energy Group Holdings, LLC d/b/a Alteris Renewables, Inc. ("Alteris").
Operating income for the second quarter of 2011, excluding acquisition-related costs, was $0.1 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period last year. EBITDA, excluding acquisition-related costs, was $0.4 million for the second quarter.
Including the impact of $2.0 million of acquisition-related costs, net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $1.6 million, or $0.08 per share, as compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per share, for the same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue grew to $37.4 million, a 14.9% increase from $32.5 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the six month period, excluding acquisition-related costs, was $0.2 million compared to $0.5 million in the same period last year. Including the impact of $2.0 million of acquisition-related costs, net loss for the six month period was $1.5 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per share, in the same period last year.
The Company recently repurchased approximately 380 thousand shares of its Class A common stock.
"I am extremely excited to have joined the Real Goods Solar team and am pleased to begin my tenure by announcing record second quarter revenues," commented Bill Yearsley, Chief Executive Officer. "Real Goods Solar has a very talented group of employees, a critical component to our success. The recently announced merger with Alteris Renewables provides a large footprint to build from on the east coast and a stronger position in the growing commercial solar market. Coupled with the recently announced rollout of our commercial solar financing program, we are well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities in the commercial solar sector."
"Excluding one-time costs associated with the acquisition of Alteris, the second quarter represented our eighth consecutive quarter of profitability," said Erik Zech, Chief Financial Officer. "We have been able to successfully manage our cost structure while still growing the business and making important investments into commercial and other areas that will allow us to drive future growth. We believe that the scale achieved through our recent merger will provide significant long-term benefits to the combined business and we will be focused on a smooth and effective integration during the second half of this year and into 2012."
On June 21, 2011, Real Goods Solar entered into a definitive merger agreement with Alteris. Once approved by its shareholders, Real Goods Solar will issue 8.7 million unregistered shares of its Class A common stock to Alteris equity holders for 100% of Alteris' outstanding equity. The number of shares to be issued could be increased from an earn-out based on Alteris' 2011 financial performance. For accounting purposes, Alteris' financial results were consolidated with Real Goods Solar's beginning June 22, 2011.
Real Goods Solar will host a conference call tomorrow, August 9, 2011, at 8:30 a.m. PDT (11:30 a.m. EDT) to review the second quarter results.
