Management to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. EDT

GARDENA, CA – March 8, 2018 – Polar Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: POLA), a global provider of prime, backup and solar hybrid DC power solutions, reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017. 

Key 2017 and Subsequent Highlights: 

Financial Results for the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2017  

Net sales in 2017 totaled $14.4 million, a decrease of 37%, as compared to $22.8 million in 2016. Net sales totaled $4.0 million in Q4 2017, a decrease of 45%, as compared to $7.3 million in Q4 2016. The decrease in net sales was primarily a result of a decline in sales of DC power systems to our prior largest Tier-1 wireless carrier customer, coupled with a price reduction in DC power systems that took effect in March 2017.

Backlog totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2017, as compared to $1.5 million at September 30, 2017 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in backlog at the end of 2017 as compared to the end of 2016 was attributable to a decline in sales of DC power systems to our Tier-1 wireless carrier customers.

Gross profit decreased 52% to $4.8 million in 2017, as compared to $10.2 million in 2016. Gross profit decreased 66% to $1.3 million in Q4 2017, as compared to $3.9 million in Q4 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined to 34% in 2017, as compared to 45% in 2016 and gross profit as a percentage of net sales declined to 33% in Q4 2017, as compared to 54% in Q4 2016. The gross profit in Q4 2017 and full year 2017 was negatively affected due to a combination of a price reduction of our DC power systems to Tier 1 wireless telecom customers and lower fixed manufacturing overhead absorption resulting from lower shipments. The company made substantial improvements in its production facility and product line during 2017 and continues to believe that gross profit margin will improve to within the range of 36%-42%, particularly as the volume of sales increases.

Operating expenses increased to $5.6 million in 2017 from $2.8 million in 2016, an increase of $2.8 million of which $1.1 million, $0.9 million are attributable to increased investments in R&D and sales. Operating expenses increased to $1.7 million in Q4 2017, from $0.9 million in Q4 2016. The increase in operating expenses in both periods was primarily due to investments in several major R&D projects, such as engineering changes and technology upgrades to our DC power systems to meet new customer requirements and the ongoing development of a new hybrid power system for international markets. 

Net loss in 2017 totaled $0.8 million, or ($0.08) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $4.4 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, in 2016. The decline in EPS is attributable to a combination of higher operating losses and increase in weighted average shares outstanding from 7,564,629 in 2016 to 10,143,158 shares at the end of 2017. Net loss in Q4 2017 totaled $0.6 million, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $1.7 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, in Q4 2016.

Cash at December 31, 2017 totaled $14.2 million, as compared to $16.2 million at December 31, 2016. The substantial balances of cash as of the comparative periods ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 resulted from the net proceeds of $17.0 million from the Company’s initial public offering in December 2016.

Management Commentary

“2017 was a pivotal year for our company as we deployed the capital we raised in our December 2016 IPO to position Polar Power as a market leader of backup DC power systems in the United States,” said Polar Power CEO, Arthur Sams. “Although the necessary steps taken in 2017 negatively impacted our year-over-year financial performance, we believe the foundation building we completed in 2017 has set the stage for substantial revenue growth in 2018 and beyond.”

“During 2017 we built a strong domestic and international sales staff, obtained new vendor approvals, engaged in field trails, expanded our R&D efforts, introduced new products and increased our manufacturing resources. With respect to the progress made in such a short period of time, at the end of 2016 we had only one Tier-1 wireless carrier customer that drove 95% of our domestic revenues and we were listed with zero overseas carriers. Today, we are an approved vendor to the top 4 U.S. wireless carriers and 32 overseas carriers and our customer concentration has dramatically improved in that sales to our largest wireless carrier customer in 2016 now represent less than 30% of our total net sales.

“Although we have received some early success from Tier-1 wireless carriers in the U.S., which we believe will provide us with sustainable growth during 2018, we continue to introduce our DC technology and its advantages to our international clients and we anticipate positive results in 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we established a sales and administrative presence in Australia to provide a regional footprint that competes with small, local competitors and closely resembles the telecom infrastructure in the United States. We anticipate leveling the playing field in terms of costs and after-market support with a much lower duration in sales cycles, while we continue to develop our presence in other regions,” continued Sams.

“Outside of our core telecom market we are also seeing macro tailwinds with the new U.S. administration that is accelerating our progress with our core military customers and new discussions with additional branches of the military and federal government. This was further demonstrated in the fourth quarter of 2017, and now in the first quarter of 2018, with increased orders from Oshkosh Defense and our recent progress in the U.S. Army’s robotic mule program. Based upon this progress and our participation in several R&D discussions and programs, we expect the U.S. military and federal government to become a material driver of new revenue growth in the years to come.

“In all, we have never been more excited about the progress made and the immense opportunities our portfolio of DC power systems currently address. We believe that our strong balance sheet, conservative cash management strategy, improved corporate governance team and product approvals by our key target customers will yield both short-term and long-term success. We look forward to sharing more on our developing story at the upcoming 30^th Annual ROTH Conference on March 12, 2018 in Dana Point, California,” concluded Sams.
