August 12, 2015 4:01 PM

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG) today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2015.

Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2015 Highlights

“We completed fiscal 2015 with strong execution on all fronts. We successfully grew our business with our existing and new customers and generated record revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter and the entire fiscal year. Our increased manufacturing capacity coupled with continued cost reduction, brought gross margins to a quarterly and annual record. These revenue and cost reduction initiatives generated strong bottom line results; consecutive profits in each quarter of fiscal 2015 and strong cash flow from operations,” said Guy Sella, Founder, Chairman and CEO of SolarEdge.

Fourth Quarter 2015 Summary

The Company reported revenues of $98.4 million for fiscal Q4 2015, an increase of 13.9% from the prior quarter and 120.8% from fiscal Q4 2014.

GAAP gross margin reached 28.7% for fiscal Q4 2015, up from 27.4% in the prior quarter and up from 19.6% in fiscal Q4 2014.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 28.9% for fiscal Q4 2015, up from 27.6% in the prior quarter and 19.6% in fiscal Q4 2014. This growth was mainly driven by cost reduction measures that were realized this quarter and reduced use of air shipments to a minimum.

GAAP operating expenses were $16.4 million for fiscal Q4 2015, or 16.7% of revenue, an increase from $13.9 million, or 16.1% of revenue from the prior quarter and an increase from $11.2 million, or 25.0% of revenue when compared to fiscal Q4 2014.

GAAP operating income was $11.9 million for fiscal Q4 2015, up from $9.8 million in the prior quarter and up from an operating loss of $2.4 million in fiscal Q4 2014.

GAAP net income was $9.3 million for fiscal Q4 2015, up from $6.0 million in the prior quarter and up from a net loss of $3.0 million in fiscal Q4 2014.

Non-GAAP net income was $13.8 million for fiscal Q4 2015, an increase from $8.7 million in the prior quarter and an increase from a net loss of $2.8 million in fiscal Q4 2014.

GAAP net diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.21 for fiscal Q4 2015, up from $0.01 in the prior quarter and up from a net diluted loss per share of $1.08 in fiscal Q4 2014.

Non-GAAP net diluted EPS was $0.31 for fiscal Q4 2015, an increase from $0.20 in the prior quarter and an increase from a net diluted loss per share of $0.10 in fiscal Q4 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, totaled $148.4 million, compared to $138.8 million on March 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the Company did not have any debt.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this release. These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

(1) GAAP net basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are materially different between fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 since under GAAP, preferred shares do not participate in losses and therefore the number of shares used in computing net diluted earnings (loss) per share is materially different between the fiscal years. In addition, under GAAP the conversion of preferred to common stock as of the IPO date reduces the net earnings available for distribution to common shareholders and reduces the number of shares used in computing net basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock.
