Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights:
Year End 2016 Other Highlights:
Northern Power Systems Corp. (TSX: NPS) (the "Company" or "Northern Power Systems"), a next generation renewable energy technology company, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
"During 2016, we announced our intention to monetize our utility wind assets, and focus on our core distributed wind turbine business as well as to expand into full-scope energy storage solutions. With the completion of the sale of certain of our utility-scale wind technology and assets to our partner WEG, in October 2016, we consummated our planned refocus on distributed energy applications," stated Ciel Caldwell, president and chief operating officer of Northern Power Systems. "With the reduction of business expenses, and effective management of our balance sheet, we continue to be confident that we will not require additional investment in our business."
"Our expansion into full-scope energy storage solutions in the distribution network is gaining traction as we have submitted multiple commercial bids and are negotiating initial order contracts," Ms. Caldwell continued. "These activities, in combination with continued global distributed turbine sale traction, are validating our distributed energy strategy."
Eric Larson, the Company's chief accounting officer commented, "During the fourth quarter we maintained our focus on reducing costs in our efforts to reach profitability. Our cash balance as of December 31, 2016 was $5.4 million, including $1.5 million received from the sale to WEG, which we feel positions the Company well to focus on our 2017 business objectives."

About non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement Northern Power Systems' consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Northern Power Systems has used a non-GAAP financial measure, specifically non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA income (loss). Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA income (loss) is defined as net income (loss), excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, interest expense, tax provision or benefit, and certain other unusual gains or losses on transactions as applicable.
The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA net income (loss)" included at the end of this release. The table has more details on the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and the related reconciliation between these financial measures.
Northern Power Systems' management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information in assessing our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, which could be non-cash charges or discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. This non-GAAP financial measure also has facilitated management's internal comparisons to Northern Power Systems' historical performance and our competitors' operating results, as well as reflects measurements which are used by creditors and other third parties in assessing our performance.
