-First sequential quarterly decline in operating expenses in the Company's history

-Strong positive cash flow from operations of $7.6 million

Enphase Energy reported total revenues for the fourth quarter of $57.6 million. This compares to revenue of $57.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, which included approximately $6.5 million of revenue associated with shipments related to the expiring 1603 grant program. Units sold in the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled 384,000. During the quarter, the Company also shipped its 3,000,000th microinverter since its inception.

GAAP gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 27.9 percent, an increase of 500 basis points when compared to 22.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, and an increase of 110 basis points compared to 26.8 percent in the third quarter of 2012. This was mainly driven by the Company's ongoing cost reduction efforts along with stable pricing.

GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $22.2 million and non-GAAP operating expenses were $20.3 million, which is approximately 12 percent down from the third quarter of 2012, marking the first sequential decline in quarterly operating expense.

Fourth quarter of 2012 GAAP net loss was $7.7 million, or a loss of $0.19 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $5.0 million, or a loss of $0.12 per share.

Cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter was $7.6 million and net cash flow was $3.6 million. As a result, the Company exited the year with a total cash balance of $45.3 million, up from the third quarter ending cash balance of $41.7 million.

"Our fourth quarter results are encouraging on several fronts," commented Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase. "We had a significant improvement in operating performance and continued our gross margin expansion to a new record level. In addition, the fourth quarter is the first time that operating expenses did not increase sequentially and strict working capital management resulted in a positive operating cash flow of $7.6 million. This performance gives us confidence we will begin to realize leverage from the investments we have made in our business infrastructure."

Full Year 2012 Highlights

-Record gross margin of 25.5%, up 610 basis points year-over-year

-More than 1.5 million microinverters shipped in 2012, up 50% year-over-year

For the fiscal year 2012, total revenues were $216.7 million, an increase of 45 percent compared to last year. Units sold in 2012 increased to 1.5 million compared to 1.0 million in 2011. GAAP gross margin for the year was 25.5 percent, an increase of 610 basis points year-over-year. GAAP net loss for the year totaled $38.2 million, or $1.24 per share. Non-GAAP net loss was $28.8 million, or a loss of $0.93 per share.

"We finished fiscal 2012 with impressive results highlighted by continued gross margin expansion and significant improvements in cash flow. While European demand softened in the second half of the year, we continue to make good progress with our geographic market expansion strategy," said Paul Nahi. "Our fourth quarter capped a year of improving strategic and financial performance, underscored by the shipment of our 3,000,000th inverter. This demonstrates the widespread acceptance of our microinverter system offering. Together with the strengthening of our balance sheet attributable to last April's IPO and the additional credit capacity we have put in place, we are well positioned entering 2013 to execute our balanced profitable growth strategy. I am tremendously proud of what we accomplished in our first year as a public company which was made possible by the hard work and commitment of our entire Enphase family."

Business Outlook

"Looking forward we expect revenues for the first quarter of 2013 to be within a range of $43 million to $46 million, and for gross margin to be within a range of 26 percent to 28 percent," said Kris Sennesael, CFO of Enphase. "The expected sequential decline in revenue during the first quarter is in line with normal seasonality. We also expect non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 to be approximately flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2012."
