Eguana Announces 2nd Quarter 2022 Financial Results


CALGARY, Alberta, May 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eguana Technologies Inc. ("Eguana" or the "Company") (TSX-V: EGT, OTCQB: EGTYF) today announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“Considering the positive market response to the premium branded products with focus on product availability consistency, and the continued failure of our Canadian supply chain partners to deliver required circuit board volumes, we elected to expedite and complete the full turnkey transition to Omega” commented Eguana CEO Justin Holland. “The operations and development teams from both companies were integrated to work as a single unit delivering a fully commissioned facility with a 400 unit per month production capacity.”

Fiscal Q2 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Q2 2022 product revenue of $0.3 million, down from Q2 2021 product revenue of $0.4 million due to lack of Canadian supplied circuit boards and management decision to transition and fully commission Omega EMS
  • Q2 2022 gross margin from product sales of $71.6 thousand, or 25.1%, an increase from $13.8 thousand, or 4.0%, in Q2 2021, due primarily to favorable inventory adjustments through the quarter, offset by freight costs associated with the purchase of raw materials for systems sold in the quarter
  • Q2 2022 operating loss of $2.5 million, a slight change from a $2.2 million operating loss for the same period in 2021
  • Positive working capital trend sitting at $4.4 million at March 31, 2022, an increase from a working capital deficit of $12.2 million for Q2 2021, and positive working capital of $2.4 million for Fiscal 2021

Business Highlights

  • Completed circuit board manufacturing transition to contract manufacturing partner Omega EMS in San Jose California
  • Post quarter end, completed full turnkey production and test transition to Omega, increasing production capacity to 400 units per month
  • Launched the Eguana Enfuse line of micro inverters
  • Completed $150 million CAD base shelf prospectus to accelerate future financing opportunities
  • Post quarter end, completed $10 million USD loan agreement with Western Technology Investment

Eguana initiated and expedited a full manufacturing transition to its contract manufacturing partner Omega EMS to de-risk future sales and open additional manufacturing capacity and supply chain bandwidth. They also confirmed future system testing equipment has been ordered and will be installed and commissioned this year, doubling its production capacity from 400 to 800 systems per month.

“Additional testing equipment will double our capacity again and this, along with our alternative parts program being run as a joint effort with Omega, has put us in position to ramp up operations immediately and continuously” added Holland. “The market is looking for consistent supply of both storage systems and micro inverters, both of which are now available.”
