SAN DIEGO, May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXWL) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2018 were $28.4 million, compared with $30.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $26.7 million for the prior year quarter. Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $9.2 million, compared with a net loss of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and a net loss of $10.4 million for the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $5.8 million, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $7.4 million for the prior year quarter. The Company reported $(6.9) million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the first quarter of 2018, compared with $(4.7) million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $(7.0) million for the prior year quarter. The Company reported $(4.2) million of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) for the first quarter of 2018, compared with $(1.8) million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $(3.9) million for the prior year quarter.

Strategic Business Highlights

    --  Today Maxwell announced a technology partnership with Zhejiang Geely
        Holding Group ("Geely"), the parent company of leading brands such as
        Volvo and Geely Auto. The collaboration kicks off with the inclusion of
        Maxwell's ultracapacitor-based peak power subsystem in five mild-hybrid
        and plug-in hybrid vehicles which will initially be available in North
        America and Europe. The production ramp for these vehicles is slated to
        begin in late 2019 and marks the most significant milestone in Maxwell's
        automotive market history.
    --  Today Maxwell renewed a $25 million revolving credit facility with its
        banking partner, East West Bank, for a 3-year term, providing Maxwell
        with further financial flexibility to operate its business and execute
        on strategic investments.

"While our energy storage product revenue exceeded expectations for the quarter, our first quarter revenue results reflect a shortfall in orders related to our high voltage capacitor products. We expect a recovery in the high voltage product line in the second half of 2018 and overall we are anticipating revenue growth in Q2," said Dr. Franz Fink, Maxwell's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to make progress each quarter on our strategic objectives and to build momentum in the business. Today's announcement of the Geely design win and partnership represents a significant accomplishment for the team at Maxwell and validates that ultracapacitors are ideally suited to solve many of the challenges faced by the automotive industry as it readies for the coming global megatrend of the electrification of combustion engine vehicles."

Discussion of Financial Results for the First Quarter

Revenue and Gross Margin

    --  Total revenue for the first quarter of 2018 was $28.4 million, compared
        with $30.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, driven by a decrease
        in high voltage revenue partially offset by higher energy storage
        revenue. Energy storage revenue for the first quarter of 2018 was $23.0
        million, compared with $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017,
        related to higher revenue in the grid, non-China bus and rail markets,
        offset by lower revenue in the seasonally soft wind market. High-voltage
        capacitor revenue was $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2018,
        compared with $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017; the shortfall
        is attributable to delays in the processing of Chinese tenders for
        infrastructure projects as well as delays in infrastructure investment
        by utilities caused by uncertainty from revisions to taxes and
        incentives introduced by U.S. tax reform and from potential increased
        tariffs on steel.
    --  Gross margin for the first quarter of 2018 was 20.0% compared with 23.8%
        in the fourth quarter of 2017, driven primarily by decreased
        high-voltage capacitor product sales, which generally have higher gross
        margins than the corporate average.
    --  Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 2018 was 21.5% compared
        with 25.4% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and excludes acquisition
        related intangibles amortization and stock-based compensation expense.

Operating Expense, Interest Expense, Net Loss & Adjusted EBITDA

    --  Operating expense for the first quarter of 2018 was $15.0 million,
        compared with $14.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. The
        quarter-over-quarter increase was driven primarily by higher payroll
        related expense, including the annual FICA tax reset, annual merit
        increases and higher vacation accrual, as well as lower expense
        reimbursement from funded R&D programs.
    --  Non-GAAP operating expense for the first quarter of 2018 was $12.5
        million compared with $11.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and
        excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other
        non-recurring legal costs, offset by a credit for restructuring charges
        due to a change in estimate.
    --  Net interest expense was approximately $1.0 million for both the first
        quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017, which includes coupon
        interest and non-cash interest from amortization of debt issuance costs
        and discounts on convertible notes issued in 2017.
    --  Non-GAAP interest expense was approximately $0.6 million for both the
        first quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017, and excludes the
        non-cash interest mentioned above.
    --  Net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $9.2 million, or $(0.25) per
        share, compared with a net loss of $8.8 million, or $(0.24) per share,
        for the fourth quarter of 2017.
    --  Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2018 was $5.8 million
        compared with a non-GAAP net loss of $5.3 million for the fourth quarter
        of 2017.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2018 was $(4.2) million,
        compared with $(1.8) million for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Capital Expenditures

    --  Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2018 were $3.9 million,
        compared with $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Capital
        expenditures in the first quarter were primarily related to the
        Switzerland manufacturing facility expansion and equipment upgrades, the
        Korea manufacturing facility expansion, ultracapacitor and lithium-ion
        capacitor production equipment and IT infrastructure upgrades.

Second Quarter 2018 Business Outlook

    --  Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $28 million to $33
        million.
    --  Gross margin is expected to be 20.1%, plus or minus 150 basis points.
    --  Non-GAAP gross margin is expected to be 21.5%, plus or minus 150 basis
        points.
    --  GAAP operating expense is expected to be in the range of $15.1 million
        to $15.5 million.
    --  Non-GAAP operating expense is expected to be in the range of $12.6
        million to $13.0 million.

The Company has reconciled expected GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and net loss per share at the midpoint of guidance. However, the Company is not able to estimate additional potentially excluded and reconciling amounts due to the substantial uncertainties involved. The effect of these excluded items may be significant. The reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP second quarter outlook is as follows (in millions, except for percentages and per share data):

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures for internal evaluation and to report the results of its business. Information presented in this press release and in the attached financial tables includes financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure, within the meaning of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance or cash flows that (a) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, which are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows; or (b) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, which are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.

The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release, in its earnings conference call and in its on-going evaluation of the business: (a) non-GAAP gross profit; (b) non-GAAP operating expense; (c) non-GAAP income (loss) from operations; (d) EBITDA; (e) adjusted EBITDA; (f) non-GAAP net income (loss); (g) non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and (h) non-GAAP gross margin.

The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release are presented below:

    --  Non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit exclude the effect of
        stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and
        acquisition related expense.
    --  Non-GAAP operating expense excludes the effect of stock-based
        compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and
        related costs, strategic equity transaction costs, acquisition related
        expense, shareholder advisement and settlement costs and SEC and FCPA
        legal and settlement costs.
    --  Non-GAAP loss from operations excludes the effect of stock-based
        compensation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and
        related costs, strategic equity transaction costs, acquisition related
        expense, shareholder advisement and settlement costs and SEC and FCPA
        legal and settlement costs.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of foreign currency exchange loss,
        other income, stock-based compensation, restructuring and related costs,
        strategic equity transaction costs, acquisition related expense,
        shareholder advisement and settlement costs and SEC and FCPA legal and
        settlement costs.
    --  Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share exclude the effect of
        stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, non-cash
        interest expense, restructuring and related costs, strategic equity
        transaction costs, acquisition related expense, shareholder advisement
        and settlement costs and SEC and FCPA legal and settlement costs.

The Company believes that these measures provide useful information to its management, board of directors and investors about its operating activities and business trends related to its financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the Company's management and board of directors use these non-GAAP financial measures in developing operating budgets and in reviewing the Company's results of operations, as non-cash items, non-recurring items and items unrelated to ongoing operating results have limited impact on current and future operating decisions. Additionally, the Company believes that inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with its past reports of financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures are intended to supplement GAAP financial information, and may be computed differently from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's non-GAAP financial measures included in this news release exclude the following non-cash items, non-recurring items or items unrelated to its ongoing operating results, as applicable:

    --  Stock-based compensation expense consisting of non-cash charges for
        stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, employee
        stock purchase plan awards and bonuses and director's fees expected to
        be settled with the Company's fully vested common stock.
    --  Amortization of intangibles consisting of non-cash amortization of
        purchased intangibles acquired in connection with the Company's
        acquisition of the assets, including the operating subsidiaries, of
        Nesscap Energy, Inc.
    --  Non-cash interest expense consisting of amortization of convertible debt
        discounts and amortization of convertible debt transaction costs.
    --  Restructuring and related costs including restructuring and exit costs
        incurred in connection with the Company's restructuring plans.
    --  Strategic equity transaction costs consisting of expenses incurred in
        connection with the Company's strategic equity investment agreement with
        China's SDIC Fund which was terminated in the third quarter of 2017.
    --  Acquisition related expense consisting of costs incurred in connection
        with the Company's acquisition of the assets, including the operating
        subsidiaries, of Nesscap Energy, Inc. which include transaction and
        integration expenses as well as the fair value adjustment for acquired
        inventory recorded in cost of revenue.
    --  Shareholder advisement and settlement costs which represent external
        advisor expenses incurred in connection with preparing for the Company's
        2016 and 2017 shareholder proxy and annual meeting and shareholder
        settlement costs.
    --  SEC and FCPA legal and settlement costs which represent external legal
        expenses and settlement expenses related to the U.S. Securities and
        Exchange Commission's investigation of the facts and circumstances
        surrounding the restatement of the Company's financial statements for
        the fiscal years 2011 and 2012, as well as for ongoing legal matters
        related to previous Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations.
