DEVENS - AMSC (Nasdaq:AMSC), a global solutions provider serving wind and power grid industry leaders, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2014 ended March 31, 2015.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were $25.1 million, compared with $16.3 million for the same period of fiscal 2013 and $21.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The year over year and quarter over quarter increase in revenues was due to higher Wind segment revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

AMSC's net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased to $3.4 million, or $0.36 per share, from $22.7 million, or $3.30 per share, for the same period of fiscal 2013.

The Company's non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $6.4 million, or $0.69 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $9.4 million, or $1.36 per share, in the same period of fiscal 2013. Please refer to the financial table below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.

Revenues for the full year fiscal 2014 were $70.5 million as compared to $84.1 million in fiscal year 2013. AMSC reported a net loss for full year fiscal 2014 of $48.7 million, or $5.74 per share, compared to a net loss of $56.3 million, or $8.98 per share, for fiscal year 2013. The Company's non-GAAP net loss for full year fiscal 2014 was $39.6 million, or $4.67 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $34.1 million, or $5.45 per share, for fiscal year 2013.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at March 31, 2015 totaled $24.5 million, compared with $37.6 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily the result of an $8.4 million payment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 to Ghodawat Energy Pvd Ltd (Ghodawat) to fully settle any and all disputes and claims between AMSC and Ghodawat (including their respective parent and affiliated companies).

"During the fourth fiscal quarter, we grew revenues by more than 50% year over year," said Daniel P. McGahn, President and CEO, AMSC. "We kicked off fiscal 2015 by strengthening our balance sheet through completion of an equity offering as well as announcing the first commercial contract from the U.S. Navy, an additional city exploring the REG solution, and several new D-VAR® orders."
