Flux Power Announces Record Quarterly Revenue of $7.0M for Third Quarter of FY 2021; Increase of 38% YOY
Investor Conference Call at 4:30 PM ET
VISTA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLUX), a developer of advanced lithium-ion industrial batteries for commercial and industrial equipment, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2021 (Q3’21).
Financial Highlights:
- Q3’21 revenue grew 38% to a record $7.0M compared to Q3’20 revenue of $5.1M.
- Q3’21 gross margin increased to 24.1% compared to 12.8% in Q3’20.
Strategic Highlights:
- Achieved 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth.
- Received initial orders for two major new customers – a global packaging company and a paper & chemicals manufacturer/distributor.
- Continued progress on increasing gross margins.
- Launched the next-generation M24 lithium-ion battery pack for end riders and center riders, at the ProMatDX material handling tradeshow, with initial orders already received.
Q3’21 Financial Results
Revenue: Q3’21 revenue increased by 38% to $7.0M compared to $5.1M in Q3’20, driven by increases in sales of larger capacity product lines.
Gross Profit: Q3’21 gross profit improved by 158% to $1.7M compared to a gross profit of $649K in Q3’20, principally reflecting higher revenue and reduced material costs through volume purchasing.
Selling & Administrative: Expenses increased to $3.1M in Q3’21 from $2.6M in Q3’20, reflecting increases in personnel related expenses, insurance premiums, and freight expenses.
Research & Development: Expenses remained constant at $1.5M in Q3’21, compared to Q3’20, reflecting continued product development activities and product testing.
Net Loss: Q3’21 net loss decreased to $1.7M from a net loss of $4.0M in Q3’20, principally reflecting increased gross profit, other income due to PPP loan forgiveness, and decreased interest expense.
Balance Sheet: The balance sheet was strengthened during Q3’21 from conversion of all outstanding short-term debt of $2.4M during the quarter, resulting in the elimination of all debt. Further, $1.7M was raised under the ATM (At-the-Market) facility during Q3’21.
Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook
We anticipate that new customer acquisition will continue, supplementing continued orders from existing customers, with additional opportunities facilitated by the next-generation M24 lithium-ion battery pack for the high-volume end rider segment. The airport ground support equipment business is experiencing a resurgence following the COVID-19 impact.
We believe Flux Power is in a strong place to continue expansion to meet the demand for lithium-ion battery packs. However, supply chain challenges, both for semi-conductors, raw materials, and generic issues in ocean freight, present a risk to this growth, despite mitigation plans in place.
“We are excited by the initial customer reception of our next-generation M24 lithium-ion battery pack for the end rider and center rider market, which is a high-volume forklift sector,” CEO Ron Dutt stated. “We believe it’s a great addition to our full product lineup which provides a high value proposition to our customers with large material handling fleets.”
Conference Call
Management will hold a conference call today starting at 4:30 PM ET. Investors and analysts interested in joining the call are invited to dial (833) 428-8374 or (270) 240-0543. The conference ID is 7359227. A recording of the conference call will be uploaded to the Flux Power website once it is available.
