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 second
quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“Second quarter financial results exceeded expectations, with
sequential revenue growth in three of our four markets,” said Steve
Kelley, president and CEO of Advanced Energy. “We continue to work
intensively with our customers to incorporate AE’s differentiated
technologies into leading-edge systems. These efforts, together
with the execution of our manufacturing consolidation plan, are
expected to drive meaningful market share gains and profitability
improvement as our markets recover.”
Quarter Results
Revenue was $364.9 million in the second quarter of 2024,
compared with $327.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and
$415.5 million in the second quarter of 2023.
GAAP net income from continuing operations was $15.6 million or
$0.41 per diluted share in the quarter, compared with $5.8 million
or $0.15 per diluted share in the prior quarter, and $27.5 million
or $0.73 per diluted share a year ago.
Non-GAAP net income was $32.0 million or $0.85 per diluted share
in the second quarter of 2024. This compares with $21.9 million or
$0.58 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024, and $41.9
million or $1.11 per diluted share in the second quarter of
2023.
Advanced Energy generated $6.9 million in cash flow from
continuing operations during the quarter and paid $3.8 million in
quarterly dividends.
The company announced plans to take further actions related to
its previously announced manufacturing consolidation initiatives.
Advanced Energy expects to incur employment-related charges for
severance, benefits expenses, payroll taxes, and facility exit
costs. The majority of these charges are expected to be recognized
during the third quarter of 2024.
A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in
the tables below.

Non-GAAP Measures
This release includes GAAP and non-GAAP income and per-share
earnings data and other GAAP and non-GAAP financial information.
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, restructuring, asset
impairments, and other charges, 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. In addition, the tax effect also includes a discrete
tax benefit associated with the release of a portion of our
deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The non-GAAP measures included in this release are not prepared
in accordance with, or an alternative for, similar measures
calculated under generally accepted accounting principles and may
be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In
addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any
comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe
that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to
management and investors to evaluate business performance without
the impacts of certain non-cash charges, non-economic foreign
currency remeasurements, and other cash charges which are not part
of our usual operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess
performance against business objectives, make business decisions,
develop budgets, forecast future periods, assess trends, and
evaluate financial impacts of various scenarios. In addition,
management’s incentive plans include these non-GAAP measures as
criteria for achievements. Additionally, we believe that these
non-GAAP measures, in combination with its financial results
calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with
additional perspective. To gain a complete picture of all effects
on our financial results from any and all events, management does
(and investors should) rely upon the GAAP measures as well, as the
items excluded from non-GAAP measures may contribute to not
accurately reflecting the underlying performance of the company’s
continuing operations for the period in which they are incurred.
Furthermore, the use of non-GAAP measures has limitations in that
such measures do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our
results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP, and
these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of
operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Forward-Looking Statements
This 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
report 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 report 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: 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, including, but not limited to, 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, 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, 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.
