Reports Year-over-Year Q4 Revenue and Earnings Growth

Strategic Acquisition Expands Product Offering and Creates Entry into New Markets

MANITOWOC, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NYSE MKT: OESX), a leading power technology enterprise, announced today its financial results for its full fiscal-year ended March 31, 2013 and its fiscal 2013 fourth quarter.

"For the second consecutive quarter, we delivered both year-over-year revenue and earnings growth. Our fourth quarter results continue to demonstrate the value of the strategy we implemented during 2012 that focused on streamlining our sales and product development operations, while instilling a sense of accountability and financial discipline throughout the organization," commented John Scribante, Chief Executive Officer of Orion Energy Systems.

"We are also pleased to announce the purchase agreement of Harris Manufacturing. This strategically important transaction further expands the breadth and depth of our offering with a comprehensive product line that includes LED and fluorescent fixtures, day-lighting products, and fixture retrofit solutions. In addition, Harris will further expand our sales force and broaden the markets we serve, as well as provide immediate accretive growth in earnings," continued Mr. Scribante. "Overall, we enter fiscal 2014 in a much stronger position, and are poised to capitalize on the growing opportunities ahead of us."

Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2013

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reported revenues of $22.3 million, a 4% increase compared to $21.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reported net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per share.

Total order backlog as of March 31, 2013 was $21.9 million. The Company currently expects approximately $17.6 million of its existing backlog to be recognized as revenue during fiscal 2014.

Full Fiscal Year 2013

For the full fiscal year 2013, the Company reported revenues of $86.1 million, a 14% decrease compared to $100.6 million for fiscal 2012.

For fiscal year 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $10.4 million, or $(0.50) per share. For fiscal year 2012, the Company's net income was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share. During fiscal year 2013, the Company incurred non-recurring charges in the amount of $6.2 million, including a non-cash valuation reserve charge related to its deferred tax assets of $4.1 million, or approximately $(0.19) per share, and reorganization expenses of $2.1 million, or approximately $(0.10) per share.

Cash, Debt and Liquidity Position

Orion had $14.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 million in short-term investments as of March 31, 2013, compared to $23.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2012. The reduction in cash during fiscal 2013 was primarily due to $6.0 million used to repurchase common shares, $2.2 million for capital expenditures and $2.8 million for the net repayment of debt.

Total short and long-term debt was $6.7 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to $9.5 million as of March 31, 2012. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2013, which has availability of $13.3 million.

The Company repurchased 2.7 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of approximately $2.20 during fiscal 2013. As previously disclosed, the Company halted its share repurchase program mid-October 2012 in order to conserve cash while it stabilized its profit performance.

Definitive Agreement for Material Acquisition

Orion also announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Harris Manufacturing, Inc. and Harris LED, LLC. Harris Manufacturing and Harris LED, located in Green Cove Springs, Florida, engineer, design, source and manufacture energy efficient lighting systems, including fluorescent and LED lighting solutions, and day-lighting products.

The initial purchase price for the transaction is $10 million, subject to closing date adjustments for net working capital, funded debt and certain other items. Subject to such adjustments, the purchase price will be paid in a combination of $5 million of cash, $3 million in a three-year unsecured subordinated note and $2 million of unregistered Orion common stock. Additionally, Orion may pay up to an additional $1 million in shares of unregistered common stock upon Harris' post-closing achievement of certain revenue milestones in calendar year 2013 and/or 2014. Consummation of the transaction is expected to occur early in Orion's second quarter of fiscal 2014, subject to various conditions, including receipt of material third party consents and approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Harris Manufacturing and Harris LED had combined unaudited revenue of approximately $14.5 million and combined unaudited net income of approximately $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Orion's earnings.
