Flux Power Announces Record Quarterly Revenue of $6.5M for Second Quarter of FY 2021; Increase of 79% 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2021 (Q2’21).
Financial Highlights:
- Q2’21 revenue grew 79% to a record $6.5M compared to Q2’20 revenue of $3.6M.
- Q2’21 gross margin increased to 23.0% compared to 9.0% in Q2’20.
Strategic Highlights:
- Received initial orders from a global food producer.
- Continued business expansion with Beam Global by supplying battery packs for solar energy storage in their mobile EV charging stations.
- Executed cost reductions and design related actions to improve gross margins.
- Announced three patents pending for advanced lithium-ion battery technology.
- Developed the next generation LiFT Pack M24 for Class III end riders and center riders, to be launched at the ProMat DX material handling tradeshow.
- Received UL Listing for battery packs for narrow aisle walkies and end riders.
“The Flux Power team worked hard last quarter to deliver record revenue despite the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Flux Power CEO Ron Dutt. “Our expanded UL Listings and three patents pending support our goal to lead the adoption of lithium-ion solutions for Fortune 500 customers.”
Q2’21 Financial Results
Revenue: Q2’21 revenue increased by 79% to $6.5M compared to $3.6M in Q2’20, driven by sales of larger LiFT Packs and stationary power applications.
Gross Profit: Q2’21 gross profit improved to $1.5M compared to a gross profit of $326K in Q2’20 principally reflecting higher sales volumes and gross margin improvements.
Selling & Administrative: Expenses increased to $3.1M in Q2’21 from $2.2M in Q2’20, reflecting expense for our $50M shelf registration and “At-The-Market” offering, D&O insurance increases, increased sales commissions, and increased customer support expense from over 8,000 battery packs in the field.
Research & Development: Expenses increased to $1.6M in Q2’21, compared to $1.0M in Q2’20 reflecting our continued rollout of new product models, third party expense for added UL Listing certification, UN38.3 certification for transportation, and further development of our telemetry products.
Net Loss: Q2’21 net loss increased slightly to $3.4M from a net loss of $3.3M in Q2’20, principally reflecting higher operating costs offsetting gross profit increases and lower interest expense from debt conversions of $2.2M.
Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook
Our business momentum continues on track, with our seasonally slower quarter which ended September 30 behind us. While the COVID-19 pandemic created caution with lockdowns and increased infection rates in the quarter ended December, logistic and material handling needs were not significantly impacted.
Despite restrictions from the COVID-19 environment, we made progress on acquiring new customers, with initial orders from several Fortune 500 companies.
Our product expansion plans are on track with new models, added UL listings and OEM support; these developments expand our product platform for large fleets.
CEO Ron Dutt added, “The strong activity in the electrification sector during Q2’21 provides clear signals on sustained interest in renewable energy and environmentally clean sources of power for equipment. Flux Power is well positioned to serve this growing demand.”
