Advanced Energy Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“Our strong operating performance in the face of continued market weakness enabled us to deliver solid results in the quarter. Also, we continued to see strong adoption of our technologies into our customers’ next-generation manufacturing processes,” said Yuval Wasserman, president and CEO. “Further, we believe the pending acquisition of Artesyn Embedded Power will provide a platform for more balanced and steady growth going forward. Despite the current market slowdown, we are executing our strategy to deliver strong long-term earnings growth."

Second Quarter Results

Sales were $134.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared with $140.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $196.0 million in the second quarter of 2018.

GAAP net income from continuing operations was $23.4 million or $0.61 per diluted share, compared with $15.4 million or $0.40 per diluted share in the prior quarter, and $46.4 million or $1.17 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP net income was $17.2 million or $0.45 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2019. This compares with $22.4 million or $0.58 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2019, and $49.4 million or $1.25 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is provided in the tables below.

The company generated $11.5 million of operating cash from continuing operations in the quarter.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release includes GAAP and non-GAAP income and per-share earnings data and other GAAP and non-GAAP financial information. Advanced Energy’s non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of non-cash related charges such as stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, as well as discontinued operations, and non-recurring items such as acquisition-related costs and restructuring expenses. The non-GAAP measures included in this release are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, similar measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Advanced Energy believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors to evaluate business performance without the impacts of certain non-cash charges and other cash charges which are not part of the company’s usual operations. The company uses these non-GAAP measures to assess performance against business objectives, make business decisions, develop budgets, forecast future periods, assess trends and evaluate financial impacts of various scenarios. In addition, management’s incentive plans include these non-GAAP measures as criteria for achievements. Additionally, the company believes that these non-GAAP measures, in combination with its financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective. While some of the excluded items may be incurred and reflected in the company’s GAAP financial results in the foreseeable future, the company believes that the items excluded from certain non-GAAP measures do not accurately reflect the underlying performance of its continuing operations for the period in which they are incurred. The use of non-GAAP measures has limitations in that such measures do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and these measures should only be used to evaluate the company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Please refer to the Form 8‑K regarding this release furnished today to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
