-- Secured $2.5 million in orders for intelligent automatic transfer switch
(ATS) switchgear. The Company's Intelligent ATS switchgear is used to
automatically transfer power supply from its primary source to a backup
source when it senses a failure or outage in the primary source, thus
assuring uninterrupted power. It also affords the end user the ability
to participate in regional energy markets and sell surplus power back to
the grid.
-- Achieved government acceptance of our solar plus storage microgrid
powered by our mPulse software located at the Marine Corps Base Camp
Pendleton.
-- Released a production version of our Microgrid Value Stream Optimizer
(mVSO). This proprietary technology combines high level analytics of
multiple PV arrangements and storage solutions to help customers save
substantial amounts of money on their utility costs. CleanSpark's
monitoring and control platform, mPulse, uses patented forecasting and
real-time optimization logic to effectively translate the Microgrid
solution configured through mVSO into long-term and effective operation
of an installed Microgrid.
"Our second quarter of fiscal 2019 continues to set the pace for the entire year. We generated a record-setting quarter, where we saw an exponential increase in year-over-year revenues. As we continue to expand our product offerings and customer base, we are optimistic that we will continue to see increased adoption of our solutions. As a result, we expect our revenues to continue to increase quarter over quarter," commented CFO & President Zachary Bradford.
"Our continued improvements in revenue are the result of the high quality of our products and the close relationships that we have with our customers," said CEO of CleanSpark, Matthew Schultz.
Mr. Schultz continued, "We are particularly excited about the continued strength of our recent order book including a trial order of 5 units of our intelligent switch with a large national retailer. A successful outcome with this account could lead to material future orders over a multi-year period. As grid related power outages become costly and disruptive to business operations, the need for reliable backup power sources will drive increased demand for our products."
The Company assesses its results of operations using certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating performance in the same manner as management does.
The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently than similar terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how the Company defines its non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.
