Electrovaya loses $21.2-million (U.S.) in fiscal 2017



2017-12-29 17:43 ET - News Release



Mr. Peter Koven reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2017

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2017. All numbers are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The past fiscal year was a pivotal one for Electrovaya, as the company launched its lithium-ion battery product line for the global forklift market. Following a long prelaunch phase, Electrovaya has now received initial and follow-up purchase orders from leading Fortune 500 companies. These firms conducted extensive testing of the battery before placing orders. During the year, Electrovaya also continued to advance its work with original equipment manufacturer partners, which are developing complex new products utilizing the company's lithium-ion batteries. These products have long development cycles.

Fiscal year 2017 financial highlights:

Fiscal year 2017 revenue was $8.8-million ($11.3-million (Canadian)), compared with $19.5-million ($25.1-million (Canadian)) for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2016.
The net loss for fiscal 2017 was $21.2-million ($27.2-million (Canadian)), compared with $8.8-million ($11.3-million (Canadian)) for fiscal 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to: Lower revenue, which was partially offset by an $800,000 ($1-million (Canadian)) reduction in direct manufacturing costs;
A $2.2-million ($2.8-million (Canadian)) increase in finance costs, primarily due to costs associated with the $15-million (Canadian) convertible debenture issued in March, 2017;

Inventory as at Sept. 30, 2017, was $14.2-million ($18.2-million (Canadian)), compared with $18.2-million ($23.4-million (Canadian)) as at Sept. 30, 2016, as stocks were drawn down during fiscal 2017 for order fulfilment.


Recent business highlights:

Electrovaya received both initial and follow-up purchase orders from Fortune 500 customers for its lithium-ion forklift battery systems. Most significantly, the company announced a $4.3-million (Canadian) order from Walmart Canada on Sept. 18, 2017. Other potential customers in the material handling vehicles (MHV) sector continue to test the company's forklift products.
The company continued its product and component sales to integrators and OEMs, which develop products for the electromobility and energy storage market.
Electrovaya is developing multiple sales channels, with sales through equipment integrators and OEMs, as well as direct sales of systems to the final user.
The company completed financings that strengthened its working capital. On Sept. 26, 2017, the company announced a private placement financing that closed in two tranches and raised $5.3-million (Canadian) in gross proceeds. In addition, subsequent to fiscal year-end, on Dec. 20, 2017, the company announced that it entered into a commitment with MMCAP International Inc. for an $8-million (Canadian) drawdown equity facility and a $2-million (Canadian) private placement. On Dec. 27, 2017, the company announced that the private placement was completed.


The company's complete annual audited financial statements, management discussion and analysis, and annual information form for the year ended Sept. 30, 2017, are available on SEDAR or on the company's website.

Electrovaya's Litarion begins involvency process



2018-01-25 17:05 ET - News Release



An anonymous director reports

ELECTROVAYA ANNOUNCES STRUCTURED INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS AT LITARION GMBH

Electrovaya Inc.'s wholly owned German subsidiary, Litarion GmbH, has commenced a voluntary structured insolvency process that is expected to result in the appointment of a provisional receiver/liquidator of Litarion and its property by the German court.

As reported in the Company's Management's Discussion & Analysis for the year ended September 30, 2017, Li-Tec Battery GmbH, the owner of the premises occupied by Litarion, notified the Company that it would terminate Litarion's lease as at January 31, 2018 unless certain conditions were met. While the Company intended to maintain the lease, Litarion's cash flow was materially negatively impacted by the demands and garnishment processes initiated against it by the landlord.

With support from Electrovaya, Litarion attempted to resolve the dispute with its landlord but negotiations ultimately proved unsuccessful, and it was determined that the only viable alternative was to have the managing directors of Litarion voluntarily place it into preliminary insolvency proceedings. The Company expects to record a non-cash charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. It is expected the German court will shortly assign a preliminary insolvency manager to manage the transition of Litarion's operations and work to maximize value for Litarion's creditors and shareholders.

While current circumstances on the ground in Germany dictated Litarion enter into this process, Electrovaya believes that it ultimately no longer needs its own contract manufacturing facilities and, given alternate supply arrangements is in place, the Company expects that the proceedings will not impact the Company's ability to continue to fulfil current and future customer orders for its customized cells, custom modules and battery systems.

As previously disclosed, large battery orders from Litarion's OEM partners and other customers have taken longer than expected to materialize. As a result, the cost of maintaining Litarion's substantial infrastructure negatively affected Electrovaya's financial results and liquidity position. The Litarion insolvency process is expected to substantially reduce the Company's overhead expenses.

Electrovaya loses $15.2-million (U.S.) in Q1



2018-02-14 19:04 ET - News Release



Mr. Peter Koven reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR Q1 2018

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 31, 2017 (Q1 2018). All numbers are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The financial statements for Q1 2018 include the financial position and results of Litarion GmbH as discontinued operations. On Jan. 25, 2018, Electrovaya announced that Litarion, formerly its German subsidiary, commenced voluntary preliminary structured insolvency proceedings.

As mentioned in previous disclosure, the demand for Litarion's products in Germany and elsewhere took longer than expected to emerge. As a result, Litarion was incurring large losses despite its high-quality products and service. By accounting for Litarion as a discontinued operation, the company's overhead expenses and cash usage are significantly reduced. For perspective, Litarion's cash used was $17.5-million in fiscal 2017 and $1.8-million in Q1 2018. Moreover, the elimination of Litarion's cash usage also means that the company's annualized break-even revenue level has decreased significantly.

Over the last 2.5 years, Litarion played an important role in Electrovaya's development and validation of its industry-leading lithium-ion battery systems. Now, however, Electrovaya believes that it no longer needs its own contract manufacturing facilities for electrode and separator products, as the vast majority of its customers are looking for fully integrated battery systems, especially its materials handling battery products.

Electrovaya is confident that it can continue to gain new and fulfill existing customer orders with no material disruption as a result of the Litarion's discontinued operations. Electrovaya has developed alternative component suppliers and will continue producing products with similar high-quality, long-cycle life and safety. Furthermore, the changes will additionally allow lower costs and shortened lead times, which will benefit the company's customers.

Electrovaya is establishing itself as a leading global producer in the emerging market of lithium-ion battery systems for materials handling vehicles. The company now has an asset-light model capable of meeting rising customer demand while capitalizing on a proven supply chain network.

Q1 2018 financial highlights:

Revenue from continuing operations was $750,000 ($1-million (Canadian)), compared with $730,000 ($980,000 (Canadian)) for the fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 31, 2016 (Q1 2017).
The loss from continuing operations was $2.7-million ($3.5-million (Canadian)), compared with $900,000 ($1.2-million (Canadian)) for Q1 2017.
Net loss in total was $15.2-million ($19.4-million (Canadian)), compared with $2.4-million ($3.2-million (Canadian)) for Q1 2017. This included the net loss from discontinued operations of $12.5-million ($16-million (Canadian)) for Q1 2018 and $1.6-million ($2.1-million (Canadian)) for Q1 2017.
Inventory for continuing operations as at Dec. 31, 2017, was $3.5-million ($4.4-million (Canadian)), compared with $4.1-million ($5.5-million (Canadian)) as at Sept. 30, 2017.


Q1 2018 business highlights

Electrovaya started both initial and follow-up deliveries on purchase orders from multiple U.S. Fortune 500 customers for its lithium-ion forklift battery systems. Other potential customers in the materials handling vehicles sector continue to test and validate the company's products. About 85 per cent of the company's revenue in Q1 2018 came from the materials handling electric vehicle (MHEV) sector.

The company initiated deliveries on the $4.3-million (Canadian) purchase order from Walmart Canada, which was announced on Sept. 18, 2017. Electrovaya recorded a small amount of revenue from this order in Q1 2018. The balance (approximately 90 per cent) will be delivered during Q2 2018. The company believes that this will be the largest single lithium-ion-powered MHEV installation in North America and will be a major milestone for the industry and the company.

The company continued to work with two OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partners in the United States, which are developing electric vehicles in the MHEV and autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) sectors respectively

Electrovaya completed financings that strengthened its working capital. On Oct. 4, 2017, the company completed the second tranche of a private placement that raised an aggregate total of $5.3-million (Canadian) in gross proceeds. On Dec. 20, 2017, the company announced that it entered into a commitment for an $8-million (Canadian) drawdown equity facility and a $2-million (Canadian) private placement. On Dec. 27, 2017, the company completed the private placement. Negotiations with respect to the definitive agreements for the drawdown facility are continuing.

Subsequent to Q1 2018, on Feb. 9, 2018, Electrovaya listed its head office building in Mississauga, Ont., for sale at $24.9-million. The company expects to either lease back space in the building or move to other leased premises. Electrovaya requires less space as it expands its purchases from qualified supply chain providers. The company's complete Q1 2018 financial statements and management discussion and analysis are available on SEDAR or on the company's website the company's website.

Conference call details

The company will hold a conference call on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018, at 8 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Q1 2018 financial results and to provide a business update.

Electrovaya has battery orders from three customers



2018-02-21 17:14 ET - News Release



Mr. Peter Koven reports

ELECTROVAYA ANNOUNCES PURCHASE ORDERS FROM THREE ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS INCLUDING TWO US FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES


Electrovaya Inc. has received three purchase orders from three additional customers for its batteries. Two of the customers are global industry participants, one in the top 50 and the other in the top 150 of the US Fortune 500 list. With these orders, Electrovaya now has six US Fortune 500 companies as customers for its battery products targeting the materials handling electric vehicles industry.

Two of the initial purchase orders are for complete drop-in batteries in Class 1 and Class 2 forklift electric trucks.

The Company sees a substantial opportunity in, and is focused on, the materials handling electric vehicles sector. New forklift truck sales in North America were reported at 225,000 in 2015, of which approximately 63% were battery-powered electric trucks. Globally, over one million new forklift trucks were sold in 2015. Electrovaya is involved in both lithium ion batteries for new electric trucks and the replacement market for lead acid batteries in existing fleets. The Company believes it is the leading provider of lithium ion batteries for the emerging forklift market in North America.

One of the users is a producer of automated guided vehicles ("AGV"). The user had tested the Electrovaya battery modules for several months, had earlier placed small initial orders and now, following extensive validation testing, is following up with a larger purchase order. This is Electrovaya's first customer in the AGV market. The combined purchase price for the above three purchase orders is approximately US$280,000.

Electrovaya is showcasing its lithium ion ceramic batteries in the materials handling industry's trade show at MODEX 2018, #Booth 1559, 9-12 April, Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, Ga.

Electrovaya loses $2.7-million (U.S.) in Q2 2018



2018-04-24 20:02 ET - News Release



An anonymous director reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR Q2 2018

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2018. All numbers are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The Company is pleased to report a tenfold increase in revenue from continuing operations in Q2 2018 compared to the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2017 ("Q2 2017"). Revenue from continuing operations was US$3.3 million (Cdn $4.2 million), compared to US$0.3 million (Cdn $0.4 million) in Q2 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to revenue collected on the Cdn $4.3 million purchase order from Walmart Canada announced on September 18, 2017, and also included other purchase orders for materials handling electric vehicle (MHEV) batteries.

Electrovaya is encouraged by continued interest in its lithium ion forklift battery systems from new and existing customers. In addition to the six Fortune 500 companies which have issued initial and/or follow-up purchase orders, validation testing is ongoing by major global companies, and the Company is confident that sales momentum for these products will increase during fiscal 2018. Multiple manufacturers of MHEVs have approved the use of Electrovaya's lithium ion batteries in certain of their vehicles for the North American market.

Q2 2018 Financial Highlights

All Q2 2018 financial highlights are from continuing operations

Revenue was $3.3 million (Cdn $4.2 million), up significantly from $0.3 million (Cdn $0.4 million) for Q2 2017.
Gross profit was $0.9 million (Cdn $1.1 million) with a gross margin of 28% compared to $0.0 million (Cdn $0.1 million) with gross margin of 14% for Q2 2017.
For the six months ended March 31, 2018, revenue was $4.0 million (Cdn $5.1 million) and gross profit was $1.2 million (Cdn $1.5 million), while revenue and gross profit were $1.1 million (Cdn $1.4 million) and $0.7 million (Cdn $0.9 million), respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2017.
Net loss was $2.7 million (Cdn $3.4 million) compared to $0.5 million (Cdn $0.6 million) for Q2 2017. The increased loss was primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses from Q2 2017 to Q2 2018, resulting from approximately $0.4 million in legal and professional fees primarily relating to the structured insolvency proceedings for the Company's German subsidiary in Q2 2018, and a reimbursement of expenses without the corresponding inclusion of the discontinued operations expenses in Q2 2017.
Cash and equivalents were $2.0 million as at March 31, 2018.
On January 25, 2018, the Company's wholly owned German subsidiary commenced a voluntary structured insolvency process. An administrator has been appointed who has engaged a merger and acquisition specialist to conduct an orderly sale process. The Company has determined that it is no longer necessary to own unprofitable subsidiaries carrying out component production of electrodes and separators when alternate customized supply chain arrangements are available.


Q2 2018 Business Highlights

Electrovaya continued commissioning of MHEVs on the Cdn $4.3 million purchase order from Walmart Canada. Walmart is converting all the forklifts at one of its Ontario distribution centers from lead acid batteries to Electrovaya's lithium ion batteries. The Company believes this is the single largest installation of materials handling vehicles powered by lithium ion batteries in North America.

During the quarter, Electrovaya announced purchase orders for its lithium ion battery systems from three major global companies, including two U.S. Fortune 500 companies. In addition, multiple manufacturers of MHEVs have approved the use of Electrovaya's lithium ion batteries in certain of their vehicles for the North American market.

On March 29, 2018, two new directors, Dr. James K. Jacobs and Mr. Suresh Madan were elected to the Company's Board of Directors at its Annual and Special Meeting. Dr. Jacobs co-founded Electrovaya in 1996. He welcomed the opportunity to re-join Electrovaya's Board as he is excited about recent advancements in the Company's battery technology and the potential for significant sales growth. Mr. Madan is currently President and CEO of MyHealth Centre, which operates a chain of more than 30 diagnostic health facilities across Ontario. Mr. Madan brings deep financial knowledge and business skills to the Company.

Subsequent to Q2 2018, Electrovaya attended the MODEX conference in Atlanta, Georgia from April 9-12. MODEX is the leading manufacturing and supply chain expo in the United States. In addition, Electrovaya's batteries are on display at the CeMAT logistics and supply chain conference in Hannover, Germany, which runs from April 23-27. The batteries are integrated in multiple trucks of a leading materials handling vehicle manufacturer.

It is estimated by the Worldwide Industrial Truck Statistics1 that approximately 281,000 materials handling vehicles were sold in North America, and about 1.1 million globally, during 2016. In the United States, about 65.5% (~185,000) were electric vehicles, mostly powered by lead acid batteries. By comparison, approximately 200,000 electric cars (battery and plug-in electric vehicles)2 were sold in the United States in 2017, mostly powered by lithium ion batteries. Typically, a lithium ion battery powering an intensive-use MHEV could work ten times longer than batteries for electric cars and must have the ability to be charged rapidly and cycled multiple times per day. Thus, MHEV battery requirements are substantially more demanding than those required for electric cars, and the MHEV batteries are expected to deliver superior value to the logistics and materials handling user.

Electrovaya arranges $700,000 private placement



2018-05-16 17:13 ET - News Release



Mr. Richard Halka reports

ELECTROVAYA ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR PROCEEDS OF UP TO $700,000

Electrovaya Inc. intends to complete a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 4,666,667 units at a price of 15 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $700,000. Each unit will consist of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole unit warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of 20 cents for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. The private placement is expected to close on or about May 24, 2018. The proceeds of the private placement will be used for general working capital purposes. The private placement is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

It is expected that certain directors and officers of the company will purchase units in connection with the private placement. As such, the private placement constitutes a related party transaction for Electrovaya within the meaning of that term pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. MI 61-101 provides that related party transactions are, in the absence of an exemption therefrom, subject to the requirement to obtain a formal valuation for the subject matter of the related party transaction and minority shareholder approval of the related party transaction (which approval shall exclude any votes attached to common shares held by the participating related party). The company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of the private placement provided for in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, Fair Market Value Not More than 25 per cent of Market Capitalization.

Also pursuant to MI 61-101, the private placement is subject to enhanced disclosure, to be included in a material change report filed in connection therewith. The material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the expected closing of the private placement. Management of the company believes this is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances, as it is important for the company to receive the proceeds from the private placement in a timely manner.

Electrovaya enters $22.5M sale-leaseback deal for HQ



2018-07-27 09:08 ET - News Release



ELECTROVAYA ANNOUNCES THE SALE-LEASEBACK OF ITS HEADQUARTERS IN MISSISSAUGA FOR APPROXIMATELY CDN$22.5 MILLION

Electrovaya Inc. has entered into a binding agreement for the sale-leaseback of its headquarters at 2645 Royal Windsor Dr. in Mississauga, Ont., for approximately $22.5-million. Net proceeds to the company are expected to be $21-million before transaction expenses, subject to customary closing adjustments, and will be used to pay down debt and for working capital purposes.

Under the terms of the agreement, the transaction is expected to close at 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 18, 2018. The sale is on an "as is, where is" basis and also provides that as of the completion date, Electrovaya will leaseback from the buyer certain premises located on the property. The agreement also provides that the terms of the formal lease will be settled by Aug. 31, 2018, and will provide for the following:

1. The leased premises shall consist of approximately 50,000 square feet of warehouse space and 4,000 square feet of office space.
2. Electrovaya shall be responsible for its proportionate share of all operating costs, utilities and realty taxes, and such costs shall be payable by Electrovaya as additional rent.
3. The term will be for three years from the completion date.
4. Both Electrovaya and the buyer shall have the option of early termination by providing at least six months of written notice to the other party.


The transaction is expected to have the effect of unlocking liquidity from the company's non-core real estate to reinvest in its growing lithium ion battery business. Electrovaya has excess space at its headquarters that is no longer necessary as it transitions to greater use of contract manufacturing. The company expects this will have the further effect of reducing overhead costs and increasing scalability as the company focuses on high-margin subassemblies and battery systems. As of the completion date, Electrovaya will be leasing approximately 54,000 square feet of space, compared with the 156,000 square feet it presently occupies.

Electrovaya is focused on producing lithium ion battery systems for the materials handling electric vehicle sector, an expanding market opportunity. The company produces batteries for newly manufactured electric trucks and replacement batteries for existing fleets currently powered by lead acid batteries. Electrovaya has received initial and follow-up purchase orders from multiple Fortune 500 companies and recently completed a landmark order from Walmart Canada, which replaced the lead acid batteries in all forklifts at a distribution centre with Electrovaya's lithium ion batteries. This site represents one of the largest lithium ion installations at a distribution centre in North America.

Electrovaya loses $2.5M (U.S.) from Q3 continued ops



2018-08-14 18:12 ET - News Release



An anonymous director reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR Q3 2018

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2018 (Q3 2018). All dollar figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Electrovaya is focused on supplying lithium-ion batteries for the materials handling electric vehicle (MHEV) sector, an emerging and rapidly growing market opportunity. Since the start of Q3 2018, the company has announced new and recurring purchase orders worth more than $3.6-million. In order to provide the working capital for fulfilment of these orders, the company has raised approximately $2.2-million (Canadian) from insiders, including directors and management. The company has also entered into a binding agreement for the sale and leaseback of its Mississauga, Ont., headquarters for gross proceeds of $22.5-million (Canadian). Proceeds will be used to pay down debt and for working capital purposes.

During Q3 2018, Electrovaya also completed commissioning on the $4.3-million (Canadian) purchase order from Walmart Canada. The company's batteries were installed in forklifts in a Walmart distribution centre, replacing lead acid batteries. This distribution centre represents one of the single largest installations of MHEVs powered by lithium-ion batteries in North America.

Electrovaya is encouraged by continued interest in its lithium-ion forklift battery systems from new and existing customers. In addition to the Fortune 500 companies which have issued initial and/or follow-up purchase orders, validation testing is continuing by major global companies, and Electrovaya is confident that sales momentum for these products will increase during the second half of fiscal 2018. Multiple manufacturers of MHEVs have approved the use of the company's lithium-ion batteries in certain vehicles for the North American market.

Q3 2018 financial highlights (all Q3 2018 financial highlights from continuing operations):

Revenue was $400,000 ($500,000 (Canadian)), compared with $1.0-million ($1.3-million (Canadian)) for Q3 2017.
Gross profit was slightly negative, compared with gross profit of $100,000 ($100,000 (Canadian)) for Q3 2017.
Net loss from continued operations was $2.5-million ($3.2-million (Canadian)), compared with $1.9-million ($2.4-million (Canadian)) for Q3 2017.

Electrovaya arranges $1.5-million loan facility



2018-08-13 18:16 ET - News Release



Mr. Peter Koven reports

ELECTROVAYA ENTERS INTO $1.5 MILLION SECURED LOAN FACILITY

Electrovaya Inc. has entered into a secured demand loan facility with a corporation controlled by a director of the company. The loan facility is for the principal amount of $1.5-million with interest payable at 10 per cent per annum accruing until a demand for repayment is made or the facility is repaid in full, and is evidenced by a promissory note in favour of the lender. The company's obligations under the loan facility will be guaranteed by Electrovaya Corp. and 1408871 Ontario Inc., subsidiaries of the company. The guarantee of 1408871 Ontario Inc. will be secured by a fourth charge on the company's property at 2645 Royal Windsor Dr., Mississauga, Ont., L5J 1K9. The company has drawn $500,000 on the facility in advance.

The transaction is a related party transaction for Electrovaya within the meaning of that term under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, as the lender under the facility is controlled by a director of the company. The entering into of the loan facility is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than 25 per cent of the market capitalization of Electrovaya at the time the transaction was agreed to. This news release is being issued less than 21 days before the expected closing date of the loan facility. The company believes such completion is reasonable in the circumstances in order to increase the company's working capital for the fulfilment of customer purchase orders.

Electrovaya gets initial handout from the feds



2018-11-19 17:49 ET - News Release



Dr. Raj Das Gupta reports

ELECTROVAYA SIGNS $3.8 MILLION CONTRACT WITH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY CANADA TO DEVELOP SAFE AND LONG-LASTING BATTERIES FOR ELECTRIC BUSES AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES; TWO BUS MANUFACTURERS JOIN ELECTROVAYA IN DEVELOPMENT CONSORTIUM

Electrovaya Inc. has now signed a $3.8-million contract with Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) to develop safe and long-lasting lithium ion ceramic batteries for electric buses and commercial vehicles.

Electrovaya FY 2018 continued ops loss at $10.2M (U.S.)



2018-12-12 19:21 ET - News Release



Mr. Jason Roy reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS FISCAL 2018 REVENUE INCREASED 148% TO US$5.6 MILLION, Q4 2018 REVENUE ROSE SIXFOLD TO US$1.2 MILLION

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2018. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Financial Highlights:

Revenue from continued operations in FY 2018 was $5.6 million (C$7.6 million), compared to $2.3 million (C$3.0 million) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 ("FY 2017"), an increase of approximately 148%. The increase reflects stronger order volume, including repeat orders for lithium ion batteries from customers in the electric forklift market.

Gross profit in FY 2018 was $1.8 million (C$2.4 million), or 31% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $0.9 million (C$1.2 million), or 40% of revenue, in FY 2017.

Revenue from continued operations in Q4 2018 was $1.2 million (C$1.6 million), a six-fold increase compared to $0.2 million (C$0.2 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 ("Q4 2017"). The increase reflects increasingly stronger order volume. On a sequential basis, Q4 2018 revenue was approximately three times higher than the $0.4 million (C$0.5 million) reported in the third quarter of Fiscal 2018.

Electrovaya anticipates further sequential revenue growth in the first quarter of Fiscal 2019. Based on the Company's Q1 2019 deliveries to date and with less than 3 weeks remaining in the quarter, Electrovaya anticipates revenue for the quarter of approximately $2.0 million (C$2.7 million).

Net loss from continued operations in Q4 2018 was $2.3 million (C$3.1 million), compared to $1.5 million (C$2.0 million) in Q4 2017. The increased net loss was due in part to higher research and development costs.

Net loss from continued operations in FY 2018 was $10.2 million (C$13.6 million), compared to $4.7 million (C$6.2 million) in FY 2017. The increased net loss was primarily attributable to an increase in research and development costs, an increase in general and administrative expenses due primarily to a reimbursement of expenses in FY 2017 without the corresponding inclusion of a reimbursement of expenses from discontinued operations in FY 2018, and an increase in finance costs (which are now substantially reduced due to recent debt reduction).

Other Business Highlights:

On July 27, 2018, Electrovaya announced the sale-leaseback of its headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario. Subsequent to FY 2018, on October 23, 2018, the transaction was completed, generating net proceeds to Electrovaya of C$20.2 million, of which C$16.9 million was applied to debt reduction and C$3.3 million was designated for working capital purposes. In addition to reducing debt finance costs, the transaction also significantly lowers operating costs for maintenance, taxes and utilities.

Electrovaya's workforce has been reduced by approximately 75% as at September 30th, 2018 compared to the Fiscal 2017 year-end as the Company discontinued its German component manufacturing and increased its use of contract manufacturing. As a result, G&A, overhead and other costs have also been significantly reduced.

Electrovaya delivered several hundred batteries in FY 2018 to operators of Materials Handling Electric Vehicles (MHEVs) active in the logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and distribution industries. Multiple Fortune 500 companies have started to use Electrovaya's batteries to power their MHEVs as replacements for lead acid batteries.

Several hundred batteries were also delivered to an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) OEM in FY 2018 to power new AGVs.

Electrovaya's battery products were showcased at a number of trade shows during FY 2018, including Electrovaya's booth at MODEX 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia and Raymond Corp's booth at CeMAT 2018 in Hannover, Germany.

Electrovaya is also targeting the electric bus market. This has similarities to the MHEV market, as electric buses tend to operate for two or three shifts every day and require high cycle-life batteries with strong safety standards. Electrovaya has signed a $2.9 million (C$3.8 million) contract with Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) to develop products for this market. The Company is pursuing this project in a consortium with bus manufacturers with global marketing reach.

Electrovaya's IP continues to increase with fresh patents and know-how. IP in a contract manufacturing era is protected through use of multiple "silos" of contract manufacturers.

During FY 2018, Electrovaya continued to focus on supplying high-performance lithium ion batteries to power MHEVs and AGVs, a rapidly emerging and growing market opportunity. Demand from these markets comes primarily from multishift operators in the ecommerce, logistics, warehousing and manufacturing sectors. These operators demand high-performance batteries to power their vehicles, which can operate 24 hours a day, work the equivalent of 250,000 kilometres per year, and be rapidly charged multiple times a day.

Electrovaya expects sales momentum for these products will continue to increase in Fiscal 2019, as the Company sees strong market demand and continues to sell batteries through OEMs and directly to large global companies, including Fortune 500 companies. Continued sales momentum, combined with the recent cost reductions outlined above, positions the Company for stronger financial performance.

The Company's complete Annual Audited Financial Statements, Management Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for the year ended September 30, 2018 are available at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.electrovaya.com .

Conference Call Details:

The Company will hold a conference call on Thursday, December 13, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) to discuss the FY 2018 financial results and to provide a business update.

An anonymous director reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS Q2 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2019. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Q2 2019 Financial Highlights:

Revenue was $1.3 million (C$1.8 million), compared to $3.3 million (C$4.4 million) for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2018 ("Q2 2018"). The revenue decline was attributable to the fulfillment of a single large order in Q2 2018. Q2 2019 revenue was derived entirely from deliveries of lithium ion batteries to multiple customers in the electric forklift and Automated Guided Vehicle ("AGV") markets. Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2019 ("YTD 2019") and March 31, 2018 ("YTD 2018") were $3.2 million (C$4.3 million) and $4.0 million (C$5.4 million), respectively.

Gross profit was $0.4 million (C$0.5 million), or 35% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $0.9 million (C$1.2 million), or 28% of revenue, in Q2 2018. Gross profit for YTD 2019 was $1.2 million (C$1.6 million), or 36% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $1.2 million (C$1.6 million), or 29% of revenue, in YTD 2018.

Net loss from continued operations was $1.9 million (C$2.6 million) compared to a net loss from continued operations of $2.7 million (C$3.6 million) in Q2 2018. Net earnings from continued operations for YTD 2019 were $0.9 million (C$1.2 million), compared to a net loss from continued operations of $5.4 million (C$7.3 million) in YTD 2018. The net profit in YTD 2019 was primarily due to a gain on the sale of capital assets of $4.2 million (C$5.7 million).

Other Business Highlights:

Electrovaya's batteries continue to gain substantial traction in the Materials Handling Electric Vehicle ("MHEV") market. The Company received both new and repeat purchase orders during the quarter. Electrovaya now has a total of more than $3.3 million (C$4.4 million) of open orders for its MHEV, AGV and energy storage battery products.

To date, Electrovaya has sold and delivered batteries to commercial operations at 23 customer sites in the United States and Canada, with several customers making follow-up orders. The majority of customers are large corporations, including several Fortune 500 companies. These end users span all aspects of the materials handling market and include major retail, furniture distribution, cold storage, manufacturing and third-party logistics companies.

Electrovaya has established a close working relationship with leading original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the MHEV and AGV sectors:

Badger Technologies{A ™}, a product division of Jabil Inc., displayed its fully autonomous robot and corresponding lithium ion battery at Electrovaya's booth at the ProMat 2019 conference in Chicago's McCormick Place in April 2019. Each of Badger's autonomous robots is powered by Electrovaya's lithium ion battery system. The Electrovaya battery system features a high energy density design with an advanced battery management system, and lithium ion cells with advanced ceramic separators. These systems are optimized to maximize energy, cycle life and safety.

Electrovaya has completed a sales agreement with The Raymond Corporation, a Toyota Industries Group company. The sales agreement will allow The Raymond Corporation's Sales and Service Centers network to sell Electrovaya battery systems to customers that have compatible Raymond lift trucks. Electrovaya's Elivate battery system was on display at the Raymond booth at ProMat 2019.

Electrovaya continues to make progress in developing high-voltage battery packs for use in the electric bus market. The company is working with two bus companies as part of its $2.9 million (C$3.8 million) contract with Sustainable Development Technology Canada.

During Q2 2019, a Canadian chartered bank provided a loan to finance specific purchase orders. The loan is cash collaterized with a $187K (C$250K) cash deposit. The first tranche of $374K (C$500K) has been drawn, and the Company and bank are now in negotiation to add second and third tranches.

The Company has reduced operating expenses over each of the last three sequential quarters. Operating expenses were $3.0 million (C$4.0 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, $2.5 million (C$3.4 million) in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and $2.2 million (C$3.0 million) in Q2 2019. Management will continue to focus on cost-saving opportunities.

The Company's complete Q2 2019 Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 are available at www.sedar.com or on the Company's website at www.electrovaya.com.

Electrovaya has $1.2M (U.S.) continued ops loss in Q3



2019-08-14 02:11 ET - News Release



Mr. John Macdonald reports

ELECTROVAYA REPORTS Q3 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Electrovaya Inc. has released its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2019. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Q3 2019 Financial Highlights:

Revenue was $1.2 million (C$1.6 million), a nearly 200% increase compared to $0.4 million (C$0.5 million) for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2018 ("Q3 2018") due to the fulfilment of orders and other projects. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 ("YTD 2019") was $4.4 million (C$5.8 million), similar to the nine months ended June 30, 2018 ("YTD 2018").

Gross profit was $0.4 million (C$0.5 million), or 35% of revenue, compared to a slightly negative balance in Q3 2018. Gross profit for YTD 2019 was $1.6 million (C$2.1 million), or 36% of revenue, an increase of 35% from gross profit of $1.2 million (C$1.6 million), or 26% of revenue, in YTD 2018.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was negative $0.6 million (C$0.8 million) for Q3 2019, as compared to negative $1.7 million (C$2.2 million) for Q3 2018, a 65% reduction. The variance was due to a substantial reduction in Research & Development expenses in Q3 2019, as these expenses were applied to the direct cost of the electric bus project, and lower General & Administrative expenses in Q3 2019 due to a concerted effort to reduce overheads.
