LONGMONT, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NYSE MKT: UQM), a developer of alternative energy technologies, today announced operating results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2016. Total revenue for the quarter was $1.7 million compared to $1.3 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss for the quarter was $8.7 million, or $0.18 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per common share for the same period last year. Quarter results this year included a one-time inventory reserve adjustment of $7.2 million or $0.15 per common share related primarily to the PowerPhase Pro® inventory. This adjustment has no impact on cash.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, total revenue grew 8% to $4.1 million compared to $3.8 million in the prior year. Net loss was $13.0 million or $0.27 per common share versus $6.0 million, or $0.14 per common share, for the same period last year.
Joe Mitchell, UQM Technologies’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We decided to take a reserve against our PowerPhase Pro® inventory because, while we have contracted with ITL to purchase the vast majority of this inventory, they have experienced delays in their launch schedule and payment towards the inventory purchase. This inventory has been on our books for over four years since the CODA program and we felt it appropriate to take an inventory reserve at this time.”
Mr. Mitchell continued, “Nonetheless, we still have confidence that our supply agreement with ITL is secure and we will continue to support them with their vehicle applications. This one-time adjustment does not alter our strategy in any way. We entered 2017 with the strongest backlog we have seen in years. We recently obtained a bank line of credit that secures our cash position for at least the next year. We are excited about our inroads in China, our recently announced development partnership with Meritor, and the progress we are making to identify a strategic partner to support our global expansion efforts.”
