SatCon Technology Reports FY2004 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results
Monday December 27, 8:00 am ET
Revenues increase by 27% over fiscal year 2003
BOSTON--Dec. 27, 2004--SatCon Technology Corporation© (Nasdaq NM: SATC - News), a developer and manufacturer of electronic power control systems, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2004 fourth quarter and year-end, which ended September 30, 2004.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2004 were $9.2 million as compared to $8.8 million in the same period last year. For the year, revenues totaled $34.2 million in fiscal 2004 compared with $26.9 million in fiscal 2003. David Eisenhaure, SatCon"s president and chief executive officer, said: "Our revenues for the fiscal year increased by 27% compared to a year ago and our backlog at year end was $24 million, the highest quarterly backlog number that we"ve had since we began reporting quarterly backlog data about two years ago."
"Our net operating loss totaled $1.5 million for the fourth quarter - an improvement from the $2.2 million recorded in last year"s fourth quarter," continued Eisenhaure. "On an operating basis we lost $4 million for the fiscal year. In fiscal 2003, we had operating losses in excess of $26 million. That"s a significant improvement and one that we can credit to a substantial increase in our business and a major reduction of our cost structure."
From an operational standpoint, we have seen great success from our Power Systems group. $5 million of the $7 million in revenue increases was from Power Systems. We have also seen modest increases in other divisions as well. As we look forward to 2005, we see improved sales in all of our markets, including defense systems, electronics, alternative energy, test and measurement and industrial automation. We are also confident that we can continue to manage our costs, increase our backlog and grow profitably in the future.
"As you read in our recent release we completed an $8 million financing transaction with several unrelated institutional investors. We intend to use the net proceeds from the financing for general corporate purposes, in particular to support our growth opportunities in 2005 and beyond. We expect to grow revenues at a double-digit rate in fiscal 2005 versus fiscal 2004 and some of these opportunities, like Rotary UPS sales might require commitment of funds in advance of collecting revenue. These new funds will allow us to capitalize on these opportunities that we might otherwise not be able to accept."
