Satcon® Provides Preliminary First Quarter 2011 Financial Results
April 07 2011 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
Satcon Technology Corporation® (NASDAQ CM:SATC), a leading
provider of utility scale power conversion solutions for the
renewable energy market, today announced preliminary unaudited
results for revenue and gross margin for its first quarter ended
March 31, 2011.
Based on preliminary financial data and subject to the final
closing of the Company’s books, Satcon expects first-quarter 2011
revenue will be between $61 million and $63 million. The Company’s
expected Q1 2011 revenue performance is a four-fold increase over
revenue in Q1 2010 of $14.7 million, but is less than
previously announced expectations in the range of $65 million to
$70 million. The Company attributed the lower-than-expected
revenue to the requests from a few of its customers to delay the
delivery of inverter systems initially targeted for March to later
in the year.
As a result of the change in revenue expectations, gross margins
are now expected to be within a range of 23% to 25%, below the
Company’s previously announced range of 25% to 27%.
“While we are pleased our quarterly revenue has grown year over
year, our Q1 2011 revenue reflects delays in construction
projects,” said Steve Rhoades, Satcon’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. “We continue to see significant year over year
growth as a result of our diversified geographic strategy. We
expect the global environment to improve as we head into the peak
construction season. When combined with demand trends in the US and
Canada, as well as emerging new global markets, we continue to
anticipate significant worldwide growth in 2011.”
Satcon will release its first-quarter 2011 financial results
after the close of market on Tuesday, April 26, 2011. In
conjunction with the announcement, management will host a
conference call that day at 5:00 p.m. ET. To participate in
