- Revenue was $374.2 million, above the mid-point of
guidance
- GAAP loss per share was $0.38, mainly due to closure of
China production site
- Non-GAAP EPS was $0.98, above the mid-point of
guidance
- Cash flow from continuing operations was $35.4
million
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS), a global leader
in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement, and
control solutions, today announced financial results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“In the third quarter, we delivered results above the midpoint
of guidance due to higher demand in the semiconductor and data
center computing markets,” said Steve Kelley, president and CEO of
Advanced Energy. “We remain focused on developing new products and
technologies, working with customers to secure design wins, and
streamlining our factory footprint. We believe that these
priorities will drive market share gains and meaningful improvement
in gross margin.”
Quarter Results
Revenue was $374.2 million in the third quarter of 2024,
compared with $364.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 and
$410.0 million in the third quarter of 2023.
GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $14.1 million, or a
loss of $0.38 per share in the quarter, compared with GAAP net
income of $15.6 million or $0.41 per diluted share in the prior
quarter, and GAAP net income of $33.7 million or $0.89 per diluted
share a year ago. GAAP net loss reflected the impact of a $28.5
million restructuring charge as part of the company’s previously
announced manufacturing consolidation.
Non-GAAP net income was $37.0 million or $0.98 per diluted share
in the third quarter of 2024. This compares with $32.0 million or
$0.85 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024, and $48.5
million or $1.28 per diluted share in the third quarter of
2023.
Advanced Energy generated $35.4 million in cash flow from
continuing operations during the quarter, paid $3.9 million in
quarterly dividends, and repurchased $1.8 million of stock at an
average price of $93.58 per share.
In the third quarter of 2024, Advanced Energy amended its credit
agreement to increase the capacity of the senior unsecured
revolving facility by $400 million to a total of $600 million and
concurrently repaid in full the $345 million aggregate principal
amount outstanding under the senior unsecured term loan facility,
leveraging cash on hand to reduce net interest expense. The amended
structure preserved the terms of the existing credit agreement and
increased overall financing capacity and flexibility to fund
growth, repurchase shares, and meet other corporate needs.
A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in
the tables below.

Non-GAAP Measures
This release includes measures, such as non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) that are not prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management uses non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate business performance
without the impacts of certain non-cash charges and other charges
which are not part of our usual operations. We use these non-GAAP
measures to assess performance against business objectives and make
business decisions, including developing budgets and forecasting
future periods. In addition, management’s incentive plans include
these non-GAAP measures as criteria for achievements. These
non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used
by other companies. However, we believe these non-GAAP measures
provide additional information that enables readers to evaluate our
business from the perspective of management. The presentation of
this additional information should not be considered a substitute
for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The non-GAAP results presented below exclude the impact of
non-cash related charges, such as stock-based compensation,
amortization of intangible assets, and long-term unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses. In addition, we exclude discontinued
operations and other non-recurring items such as
acquisition-related costs, facility expansion and related costs,
and restructuring expenses, as they are not indicative of future
performance. The tax effect of our non-GAAP adjustments represents
the anticipated annual tax rate applied to each non-GAAP adjustment
after consideration of their respective book and tax
treatments.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and statements we make on the above announced
conference call contain, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements in this
press release or the conference call that are not historical
information are forward-looking statements. For example, statements
relating to our beliefs, expectations, and plans are
forward-looking statements, as are statements that certain actions,
conditions, or circumstances will continue. The inclusion of words
such as "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "can," "may," "might,"
"continue," "enables," "plan," "intend," "should," "could,"
"would," "likely," "potential," or "believe," and similar
expressions and the negative versions thereof indicate
forward-looking statements; however, not all forward-looking
statements may contain such words or expressions. These
forward-looking statements are based upon information available as
of the date of this press release and management’s current
estimates, forecasts, and assumptions. Although we believe that our
expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we may not achieve the results,
performance, plans, or objectives expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and many of
which are beyond our control.
Risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements
are subject include, but are not limited to: volatility and
business fluctuations in the industries in which we operate; our
ability to achieve design wins with new and existing customers; our
ability to accurately forecast and meet customer demand; risks
related to global economic conditions, such as the impact of
escalating global conflicts on macroeconomic conditions, economic
uncertainty, market volatility, rising interest rates, inflation,
or recession; risks inherent in our international operations,
including the effect of trade and export controls, political and
geographical risks, the impact of tariffs on our supply or
products, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
concentration of our customer base; risks associated with breach of
our information security measures; our loss of or inability to
attract and retain key personnel; disruptions to our manufacturing
operations or those of our customers or suppliers; risks associated
with our manufacturing footprint optimization and movement of
manufacturing locations for certain products; our ability to
successfully identify, close, integrate and realize anticipated
benefits from our acquisitions; quality issues or unanticipated
costs in fulfilling our warranty obligations (including our
discontinued solar inverter product line), and adequacy of our
warranty reserves; our ability to enforce, protect and maintain our
proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; our
ability to achieve cost savings, profitability, and gross margin
goals; changes to tax laws and regulations or our tax rates;
changes in federal, state, local and foreign regulations, including
with respect to privacy and data protection, and environmental
regulation; the effect of our debt obligations and restrictive
covenants on our ability to operate our business; customer price
sensitivity; risks related to our unfunded pension obligations;
restructuring and severance activities; legal matters, claims,
investigations, and proceedings; our estimates of the fair value of
intangible assets; and the potential impact of dilution related to
our convertible debt, hedge, and warrant transactions.
Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements, and readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences or
prove our forward-looking statements, by hindsight, to be overly
optimistic or unachievable include, but are not limited to, the
risks and uncertainties listed above and described in Advanced
Energy’s Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other reports and statements
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
These reports and statements are available on the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov. Copies may also be obtained from Advanced Energy’s
investor relations page at ir.advancedenergy.com or by contacting
Advanced Energy’s investor relations at 970-407-6555.
Forward-looking statements are made and based on information
available to us on the date of this press release. Aspirational
goals and targets discussed on the conference call or in the
presentation materials should not be interpreted in any respect as
guidance. We assume no obligation to update the information in this
press release or provide the reasons why our actual results may
differ.
