Webcast to be Held Today, August 11, 2021 at 1:45 PM PT; 4:45 PM ET

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2021 / Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CGRN), formerly Capstone Turbine Corporation (NASDAQ:CPST) ("Capstone," the "Company," "we" or "us"), a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2022 first quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Financial Highlights of Fiscal Year 2022 First Quarter:

  • Total revenue in the quarter was $16.1 million, up 13%, compared to $14.2 million in the first quarter last year as orders and shipments gradually started to rebound despite continued negative impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic.
  • The book-to-bill ratio was 1:1 for the quarter, and new gross product orders were $8.2 million despite continued negative global impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic in key markets like Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia.
  • The long-term microturbine rental fleet increased 1.5 megawatts (MWs) to 12.1 MWs from 10.6 MWs during the quarter as the Company continues to execute against its plan to increase the fleet to 21.1 MWs by March 31, 2022.
  • Total cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021, were $49.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, compared to $49.5 million as of March 31, 2021.
  • Cash provided by financing activities was $11.0 million during the quarter, as the Company continued to focus on strengthening liquidity as it accelerates the expansion of the long-term rental fleet.
  • Net loss of $2.2 million for the quarter, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of negative $2.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

"I am pleased that we were again able to drive year-over-year revenue growth as the global recovery from the COVID-19 global pandemic continued to evolve, and we executed upon our revenue growth strategy," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. "We also announced during the quarter that we expanded our long-term rental fleet from 10.6 megawatts to 12.1 megawatts as we march towards our goal of growing the fleet to 21.1 megawatts by the end of our fiscal year. This remains a key driver in our long-term strategy, as rental-related revenue drives a much higher margin than a typical product sale. This, along with our Factory Protection Plan program, are important supporting pillars in growing our Energy as a Service business," added Mr. Jamison.

"We also took steps during the quarter to expand our direct solutions sales team as their effort in the field is creating a robust project pipeline. We are excited for the second half of the year as we expect to start to close on potential projects deploying not only our existing microturbine technology, but the new energy products and service offerings we added on the back of our evolution into Capstone Green Energy Corporation, announced on Earth Day in April 2021," concluded Mr. Jamison.

Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2022 First Quarter

Total revenue for the quarter increased $1.9 million to $16.1 million, compared with total revenue of $14.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue was the result of higher MWs shipped, as the year-ago quarter was more negatively impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross margin decreased $0.8 million, to $2.6 million in the first quarter compared to $3.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to lower overhead expenses in the prior period as a result of the Company's COVID-19 Business Continuity Plan, which consisted of pay cuts, furloughs, and other cost-cutting measures.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16% in the first quarter, compared to 24% in the same period last year, primarily due to lower overhead expenses in the prior period as a result of the Company's COVID-19 Business Continuity Plan. Additionally, Factory Protection Plan margins were higher in the prior-year period primarily due to site shutdowns caused by the pandemic, which delayed servicing events.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $6.2 million, an increase of $2.3 million from $3.9 million in the year-ago quarter, as the year-ago quarter had reduced expenses from the COVID-19 Business Continuity Plan, which reduced operating expenses and increased working capital during the pandemic.

Net loss was $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Net loss per share improved to $0.16 cents per share compared to $0.17 cents in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, compared to an adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents were $49.2 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $49.5 million as of March 31, 2021.

To supplement the company's unaudited financial data presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, management has presented Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure is among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating the company's financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. Management establishes performance targets, annual budgets and makes operating decisions based in part upon this metric. Accordingly, disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with the same information that management uses to understand the company's economic performance year-over-year.

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before gain on debt extinguishment, additional PPP loan forgiveness and stock-based compensation and other expense. Gain on debt extinguishment and additional PPP loan forgiveness relates to the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness. Stock-based compensation and other expense includes expense related to stock issued to employees, directors, and vendors.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of the company's liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative 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 its liquidity.

While management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of this measure. The 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. Management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the company's GAAP results and by using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
