DENVER — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 30, 2024 — 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“In the third quarter, we delivered results above the midpoint of guidance due to higher demand in the semiconductor and data center computing markets,” said Steve Kelley, president and CEO of Advanced Energy. “We remain focused on developing new products and technologies, working with customers to secure design wins, and streamlining our factory footprint. We believe that these priorities will drive market share gains and meaningful improvement in gross margin.”

Quarter Results

Revenue was $374.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $364.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $410.0 million in the third quarter of 2023.

GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $14.1 million, or a loss of $0.38 per share in the quarter, compared with GAAP net income of $15.6 million or $0.41 per diluted share in the prior quarter, and GAAP net income of $33.7 million or $0.89 per diluted share a year ago. GAAP net loss reflected the impact of a $28.5 million restructuring charge as part of the company’s previously announced manufacturing consolidation.

Non-GAAP net income was $37.0 million or $0.98 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024. This compares with $32.0 million or $0.85 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024, and $48.5 million or $1.28 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2023.

Advanced Energy generated $35.4 million in cash flow from continuing operations during the quarter, paid $3.9 million in quarterly dividends, and repurchased $1.8 million of stock at an average price of $93.58 per share.

In the third quarter of 2024, Advanced Energy amended its credit agreement to increase the capacity of the senior unsecured revolving facility by $400 million to a total of $600 million and concurrently repaid in full the $345 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior unsecured term loan facility, leveraging cash on hand to reduce net interest expense. The amended structure preserved the terms of the existing credit agreement and increased overall financing capacity and flexibility to fund growth, repurchase shares, and meet other corporate needs.

A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in the tables below.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release includes measures, such as non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate business performance without the impacts of certain non-cash charges and other charges which are not part of our usual operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess performance against business objectives and make business decisions, including developing budgets and forecasting future periods. In addition, management’s incentive plans include these non-GAAP measures as criteria for achievements. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. However, we believe these non-GAAP measures provide additional information that enables readers to evaluate our business from the perspective of management. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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, and restructuring expenses, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press 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 press release or the conference call 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 press release 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.
