Diluted EPS $ (0.38 )   $ 0.50     $ 0.08     $ 0.17     $ 0.38     $ 0.18  

Our non-GAAP gross margin increased to 39.6% from 39.5% in the first quarter of 2020, driven by disciplined pricing and cost management. Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased to $26.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $28.5 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to our tight spending controls. Non-GAAP operating income was $23.7 million, compared to $52.8 million in the prior quarter.

We exited the second quarter with $607.3 million in cash and generated $25.4 million in cash flow from operations.  Inventory was $31.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020, compared to $34.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020. I am proud of our team’s excellent inventory management and control.

We shipped our Encharge energy storage systems in June for pilot runs to a few of our installers and the feedback has been good. Encharge storage systems feature Ensemble™ energy management technology, which powers the world’s first grid-agnostic microinverter-based storage system. We started Encharge production shipments in July to customers in North America. We are pleased with the initial feedback from our customers, who see the Encharge energy storage system as a safe, reliable and powerful option for energy independence. I want to thank our engineers worldwide who worked tirelessly to bring this breakthrough product to market.

We continue to focus relentlessly on customer experience. The employees in all four of our customer experience centers – the U.S., Europe, India, and Australia – are fully supporting installers and homeowners, while working from home. Our worldwide Net Promoter Score was 66% in the second quarter of 2020, a slight increase from 64% in the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2020, we launched the online Enphase Community which gives installers and homeowners the ability to communicate directly about Enphase products. In addition, we opened online stores in Europe and Australia to better service installers and homeowners. These stores, along with our U.S. online store, are increasing the accessibility of our clean energy solutions.

We continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic with strong support from our partners and customers. Our sales and operations teams were laser-focused on managing the channel during the second quarter of 2020, working closely with our installers and distributors. While we saw a rebound in customer demand in June and July, we are carefully monitoring the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in several states. We have a resilient business model that enables strong cash flow generation even during difficult economic periods, enabling us to invest in product innovation and digital transformation. We are well-positioned with Ensemble and look forward to accelerating the introduction of new products over the next eighteen months.

(1)  Change in fair value of derivatives of $59.7 million and $44.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, represents changes in fair value of the conversion option in the Notes due 2025, as well as the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions. Initially, conversion of the Notes due 2025 would be settled solely in cash as a result of the Company not having the necessary number of authorized but unissued shares of its common stock available to settle the conversion option of the Notes due 2025 in shares; therefore, the conversion option, convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were classified as derivatives that required marked-to-market accounting. On May 20, 2020, at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company will now be able to settle the Notes due 2025, convertible notes hedge and warrants through payment or delivery, as the case may be, of cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. Accordingly, on May 20, 2020, the conversion option, convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were remeasured at fair value and were then reclassified to additional paid-in-capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the second quarter of 2020 and are no longer remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.
