Eguana Technologies Announces 67% Quarter Over Quarter Growth in Revenues for Q1 2015

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 3, 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 Quarter (Q1 '15) ending December 31, 2014, 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 Q1, 2015 are slightly behind plan at $1,541,505 due to supply chain disruptions in the second half of December. Revenues for the Quarter are 67% higher than revenues for the previous Quarter ($921,639) and represent 67% of total revenues for fiscal 2014. Virtually all sales were to Europe.

European shipments are setting the stage for Eguana's entry into the much larger US residential market this Quarter. 3,300 units shipped to date with monthly shipments currently tracking higher have positioned Eguana as the market leader in power control and conversion systems for grid interactive residential energy storage.

Transitioning Bi-Direx PCS to the North American market is on plan, and the Company expects to begin shipping UL certified 5kW Bi-Direx PCS to multiple US customers during the current Quarter. Eguana is also on plan to complete development of its breakthrough AC Battery which will be paired with Tier 1 batteries for residential (5kW) applications during Q3, and for commercial (15kW) applications shortly thereafter, with good visibility on demand in both markets.

A combination of volatility in demand during product launch and a higher cost of US dollar sourced components (35% of total cost) increased cost of goods sold to Germany during Q1 to $1,577,596 resulting in negative gross margin of ($36,091). Average margins have also been negatively impacted by product mix changes and a devalued Euro over the past 20 months. Margins on the current version of the European Bi-Direx PCS will be restored through identified cost reductions in Q3, and changes to supply chain management procedures which are enabled with increased working capital. Average margins will also increase with increasing shipments to the US over the next 2 Quarters where the higher US dollar operates to the Company's advantage. The Company is on plan to release an upgraded Bi-Direx PCS for the European market in Q3.

A private placement of $5.1 million, in combination with conversion of First Preferred Shares representing a total value $14,066,138 into common shares, strengthens Eguana's balance sheet, and is a strong endorsement of Eguana's upside value potential.

A conference call will be held on Thursday March 5 at 4:30 pm EST to allow management to discuss these results with interested investors.
