WorldWater & Power Announces Second Quarter Results; On Track for Record Revenue in 2006 Record Gross Margin in Second Quarter
2006-08-14 07:30 ET - News Release
PENNINGTON, N.J. -- (Business Wire) -- Aug. 14, 2006
WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTC BB: WWAT), developer and
marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today reported
financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2006.
Operational Highlights
-- Began work on the company's largest project to date, the $7.8
million Farm ACW avocado ranch project in Fallbrook, CA.
Construction for the system, approximately one megawatt in
size, is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of
this year or early in 2007. Farm ACW is a leading avocado
grower with over 50,000 trees, which will likely become the
largest farming operation in the world to be powered by solar
energy.
-- Started several other new projects, including for Voorhees
Township Public Schools, Eagle Academy, and Akins Mansion.
-- Completed the installation of Eagle Academy, DuPont, and the
Road Runner tree farm.
-- Entered into a letter of intent to acquire ENTECH, a leader in
advanced concentrating solar technology that allows for the
installation of massive solar farms - using greatly reduced
requirements for silicon and other solar cell materials,
driving down the cost of ownership.
-- On track for record sales in 2006, with third quarter revenue
forecast to be in the range of $5-$6 million.
-- Record Gross Margin--15.5%, an increase from 7% in the first
quarter.
"This quarter, WorldWater took a number of decisive steps,
strategically and operationally, to improve our performance for the
remainder of 2006," stated Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman of WorldWater &
Power Corp. "Most importantly, we started construction of the Farm ACW
solar irrigation project in California, which is now on track and
expected to be nearly complete by the end of 2006. This $7.8 million
system, the largest of its kind, solidifies WorldWater's position as a
leading player in the solar field, paving the way for similar deals
that can leverage our capabilities in solar technology, energy
conversion, and high-horsepower pumps. In addition, we signed a letter
of intent to acquire ENTECH, a developer and manufacturer of advanced
concentrating solar photovoltaic and thermal technologies, on July 10,
2006. We are very excited about the prospects offered by ENTECH's
technology, and the due diligence is proceeding as scheduled. With the
combination of WorldWater and ENTECH, solar installations will be
capable of generating and delivering electrical and thermal energy on
site at costs competitive to current retail prices, without the need
for rebates. WorldWater and ENTECH are already working together on a
number of joint bids for large solar farms, with strong demand
anticipated going forward.
"Also just after the end of the quarter, WorldWater hired a new
CFO, Larry Crawford, to focus on the increased financial reporting
requirements of the company while providing direction on a number of
growth initiatives. This has enabled our prior CFO, Jim Brown, to
concentrate on streamlining and accelerating the financing process for
numerous projects in our backlog.
"We are very confident of the projects now underway and forecast
third quarter revenue of between $5-$6 million, the largest in the
company's history, with even greater revenue anticipated in the fourth
quarter. Given current geopolitical events and the continued high
price of oil, we see increasing demand for solar applications that can
provide long-term energy independence, and we are focused on meeting
these demands while improving returns for our shareholders. With an
active pipeline of proposals and our pending acquisition of ENTECH, we
view the remainder of 2006 very positively, positioning us for even
greater growth - and improved performance - in 2007."
Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter was $1.8 million, compared with
$0.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2005. Gross profit for
the quarter was $0.3 million or 15.5% gross margin, versus a loss of
$(0.1) million in the prior-year period. The company posted an
operating loss of $(1.5) million compared with an operating loss of
$(1.2) million in the second quarter of 2005, representing increased
marketing costs and stock compensation expense. Including the impact
of warrant fees, WorldWater's net loss for the second quarter was
$(2.0) million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to $(1.5) million, or
$(0.02) per share, in the prior-year period.
For the first six months of fiscal 2006, WorldWater reported
revenue of $3.7 million, versus $0.2 million in the same period last
year. Gross profit was $0.4 million for the first two quarters of
2006, as compared with a loss of $(0.2) million in 2005. WorldWater's
net loss for the period was $(5.5) million, or $(0.04) per share,
versus a net loss of $(2. million, or $(0.03) per share, last year.
