American Superconductor Corp. (AMSC, Financial) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2012-06-30.
American Superconductor Corporation has a market cap of $196.2 million; its shares were traded at around $4.08 with and P/S ratio of 2.6.
Our Grid business unit accounted for 43% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 53% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Our Grid business unit revenues increased 155% to $12.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Grid business unit revenues increased primarily due to increased D-VAR revenues.
Cost of revenues was $17.0 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Gross margin was 41.1% and (87.2%) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011 was primarily due to settlements of certain adverse purchase order liabilities resulting in a benefit to cost of revenues of $7.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 as well as higher revenues, which included approximately $3 million of revenue from Chinese customers representing payment for past shipments for which revenue is being recognized upon cash collection. Costs associated with this revenue were recorded in prior periods.
R&D expenses (exclusive of amounts classified as cost of revenues and amounts offset by cost-sharing funding) decreased by 52% to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in R&D expenses was driven primarily by the realization of cost reduction actions that were implemented in fiscal 2011. The decrease in R&D expenditures reclassified to costs of revenue was a result of decreased activity under license and development contracts for wind turbine designs compared to the prior year. Aggregated R&D expenses, which include amounts classified as cost of revenues and amounts offset by cost-sharing funding, decreased 44% to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
We incurred a non-GAAP net loss of ($10.2) million or ($0.20) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of ($30.8) million, or ($0.61) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the non-GAAP net loss was driven primarily by the factors that resulted in a lower net loss, including higher revenues, improved gross margin and lower operating expenses.
