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.”

The conference ID is 7359227. A recording of the conference call will be uploaded to the Flux Power website once it is available.
