Eguana Technologies Announces $3.1 Million Revenue for 1st Half of 2015


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 2, 2015) - Eguana Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EGT) ("Eguana" or the "Company"), a leading supplier of power control and conversion solutions for distributed energy storage systems, today announced that it has filed its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the 6 Months ending March 31, 2015, along with Management's Discussion and Analysis thereof. The Consolidated Financial Statements and the Management Discussion and Analysis thereof are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and on the Company's website at www.eguanatech.com.

Highlights:

Product sales revenues for the first half of the 2015 fiscal year totaled $3.1 million up from $885,706 for the same period in 2014. Increased product sales revenue primarily reflected continued growth in demand for residential self-consumption in Europe. Product sales revenue for Q2 was $1.55 million, and the current Quarter is tracking to approximately a 30% quarterly increase in revenues, with visibility on continued growth for the balance of the calendar year.

Eguana has partnered with industry giant LG Chem to market a 5kW/10kWh outdoor rated Home Battery for North American and other markets. The LG Chem AC Battery will be rolled out this month at the Grid Edge conference June 23-25 in San Diego, California.

Eguana also announced that it is partnering with a Tier 1 Lithium-ion battery manufacturer to develop a 15kW/30kWh outdoor rated AC Battery for the commercial demand charge reduction market in the U.S. The Company is targeting the end of this summer for roll out of this product.

One-time expenses incurred during the first half of the fiscal year reduced standard gross margins from 7% to negative 23%. The one-time costs consist of retrofits to products shipped in FY 2014 tied to faulty magnetic components delivered in FY 2014; and to expediting costs incurred in the period with respect to these components to ensure a steady production ramp to meet customer demand. The Company addressed quality issues with the magnetic components during Q4 2014 and products shipped since that time are showing a return rate of less than 1/2 of 1% and a return to single digit margins in the current Quarter.

During the period Eguana restructured its component supply chain. These changes will improve component quality and reduce manufactured cost by approximately 12% by the end of the September Quarter with further cost reductions negotiated to occur before year end. At the same time, the Company has negotiated price increases which come into effect during the current and next Quarters. In combination, the changes should increase gross margins to more than 20% by the end of Q4.
