AMSC (Nasdaq: AMSC), a leading system provider of
megawatt-scale power resiliency solutions
that orchestrate the rhythm and harmony of power on the
grid™, and protect and expand the capability and
resiliency of our Navy’s fleet, today reported financial
results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2020 ended
December 31, 2020.
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2020
were $23.6 million compared with $17.9 million for the same
period of fiscal 2019. The year-over-year increase was a
result of higher Grid and Wind segment revenues versus the year ago
period. The higher Grid segment revenues were primarily due
to revenues generated from our recent acquisition of Northeast
Power Systems, Inc. The higher Wind segment revenues were a
result of higher shipments of electrical control systems to Inox
Wind.
AMSC’s net loss for the third quarter of fiscal
2020 was $7.9 million, or $0.31 per share, compared
to a net loss of $6.8 million, or $0.32 per share, for
the same period of fiscal 2019. The Company’s non-GAAP net
loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was
$3.4 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with a
non-GAAP net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.32 per share, in
the same period of fiscal 2019. Please refer to the financial table
below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP
results. Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities
and restricted cash on December 31, 2020 totaled $84.4 million,
compared with $57.7 million at September 30, 2020.
"Grid is driving revenue growth for the
Company," said Daniel P. McGahn, Chairman, President and CEO, AMSC.
“We generated $1.7 million of positive operating cash flow in
the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and ended the quarter with a
strong balance sheet and an expanded portfolio of new energy power
systems solutions expected to support growth.”
Business Outlook For the
fourth quarter ending March 31, 2021, AMSC expects that its
revenues will be in the range of $18 million to $22
million. The Company’s net loss for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2020 is expected not to exceed $8.0 million, or
$0.31 per share. The Company's non-GAAP net loss (as
defined below) is expected not to exceed $6.5 million, or
$0.25 per share, excluding the impact from any changes in
contingent consideration. The Company expects operating cash
flow to be a burn of $2 million to $4 million in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company expects cash, cash
equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash on March 31,
2021, to be no less than $80 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Any
statements in this release regarding our goals and strategies; our
expected GAAP and non-GAAP financial results for the quarter ending
March 31, 2021, our expected cash burn during the quarter
ending March 31, 2021, our expected cash, cash equivalents,
marketable securities and restricted cash balance on March 31,
2021, the benefits of the NEPSI acquisition, and other
statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans,"
"expects," "will" and similar expressions, constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements represent management's current expectations and are
inherently uncertain. There are a number of important factors that
could materially impact the value of our common stock or cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements. These important factors include, but
are not limited to: We have a history of operating losses, which
may continue in the future. Our operating results may fluctuate
significantly from quarter to quarter and may fall below
expectations in any particular fiscal quarter; We have a history of
negative operating cash flows, and we may require additional
financing in the future, which may not be available to us; We may
be required to issue performance bonds or provide letters of
credit, which restricts our ability to access any cash used as
collateral for the bonds or letters of credit; Changes in exchange
rates could adversely affect our results of operations; If we fail
to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial
reporting, or if we fail to remediate our current material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting our
ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could
be impaired and may lead investors and other users to lose
confidence in our financial data; We may not realize all of the
sales expected from our backlog of orders and contracts; Our
contracts with the U.S. government are subject to audit,
modification or termination by the U.S. government and include
certain other provisions in favor of the government. The continued
funding of such contracts remains subject to annual congressional
appropriation, which, if not approved, could reduce our revenue and
lower or eliminate our profit; Our financial condition may have an
adverse effect on our customer and supplier relationships; The
novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic could adversely impact
our business, financial condition and results of
operations; We may experience difficulties re-establishing our
HTS wire production capability in our Ayer, Massachusetts facility;
Our success is dependent upon attracting and retaining qualified
personnel and our inability to do so could significantly damage our
business and prospects; Historically, a significant
portion of our revenues have been derived from a single customer
and if this customer’s business is negatively affected, it could
adversely impact our business; Our success in addressing the wind
energy market is dependent on the manufacturers that license our
designs; Our business and operations would be adversely
impacted in the event of a failure or security breach of our
information technology infrastructure; Failure to comply with
evolving data privacy and data protection laws and regulations or
to otherwise protect personal data, may adversely impact our
business and financial results; We rely upon third-party suppliers
for the components and subassemblies of many of our Grid and Wind
products, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price
fluctuations, which could harm our business; Many of our revenue
opportunities are dependent upon subcontractors and other business
collaborators; If we fail to implement our business strategy
successfully, our financial performance could be harmed; Problems
with product quality or product performance may cause us to incur
warranty expenses and may damage our market reputation and prevent
us from achieving increased sales and market share; Many of our
customers outside of the United States may be either directly or
indirectly related to governmental entities, and we could be
adversely affected by violations of the United States Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws
outside the United States; We have had limited success marketing
and selling our superconductor products and system-level solutions,
and our failure to more broadly market and sell our products and
solutions could lower our revenue and cash flow; We may
acquire additional complementary businesses or technologies, which
may require us to incur substantial costs for which we may never
realize the anticipated benefits; Our success depends upon the
commercial adoption of the REG system, which is currently limited,
and a widespread commercial market for our products may not
develop; Adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions
could adversely affect our operating results; We have operations
in, and depend on sales in, emerging markets, including India, and
global conditions could negatively affect our operating results or
limit our ability to expand our operations outside of these
markets. Changes in India’s political, social, regulatory and
economic environment may affect our financial performance; Our
products face competition, which could limit our ability to acquire
or retain customers; Our international operations are subject to
risks that we do not face in the United States, which could have an
adverse effect on our operating results; Growth of the wind energy
market depends largely on the availability and size of government
subsidies, economic incentives and legislative programs designed to
support the growth of wind energy; Lower prices for other fuel
sources may reduce the demand for wind energy development, which
could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our
Wind business; Unfavorable results of legal proceedings could have
a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and
financial condition; We may be unable to adequately prevent
disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary
information; Our patents may not provide meaningful protection
for our technology, which could result in us losing some or all of
our market position; We face risks related to our intellectual
property; We face risks related to our technologies; We face risks
related to our legal proceedings; We face risks related to our
common stock; and the important factors discussed under the caption
"Risk Factors" in Part 1. Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2020, as updated in our Form 10-Q for the
period ended December 31, 2020, and our other reports filed
with the SEC. These important factors, among others, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated by
forward-looking statements made herein and presented elsewhere by
management from time to time. Any such forward-looking statements
represent management's estimates as of the date of this press
release. While we may elect to update such forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, we disclaim any obligation
to do so, even if subsequent events cause our views to change.
These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as
representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of
this press release.

Note: Non-GAAP net loss is defined by the
Company as net income (loss) before: stock-based compensation;
amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; acquisition costs;
changes in fair value of contingent consideration and warrants;
other non-cash or unusual charges, and the tax effect of
adjustments calculated at the relevant rate for our non-GAAP
metric. The Company believes non-GAAP net loss assists management
and investors in comparing the Company’s performance across
reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding these
non-cash, non-recurring or other charges that it does not believe
are indicative of its core operating performance. The Company
is not able to provide the change in fair value of contingent
consideration on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable
efforts because the calculation for that change is primarily driven
by the closing price and volatility of the Company's stock at the
end of each fiscal quarter, which cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time. The Company no longer has any warrants
outstanding, therefore the Company's non-GAAP net loss
guidance does not include the impact from this adjustment.
Actual GAAP and non-GAAP net loss for the fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2021, including the above adjustments, may differ
materially from those forecasted in the table above, including as a
result of the inclusion of the change in fair value of contingent
consideration.
Non-GAAP operating cash flow is defined by the
Company as operating cash flow before: Sinovel settlement (net of
legal fees and expenses); and other unusual cash flows or items.
The Company believes non-GAAP operating cash flow assists
management and investors in comparing the Company’s operating cash
flow across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding
these non-recurring cash items that it does not believe are
indicative of its core operating cash flow.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a
numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or
cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not
normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The
non-GAAP measures included in this release, however, should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior
to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of
GAAP to non-GAAP net loss is set forth in the table above.
