Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 7, 2012, Enphase Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and shall not be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 6, 2012, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Sanjeev Kumar, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Mr. Kumar’s separation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Kumar will remain the Company’s CFO through a transition period that is expected to run into the fourth quarter of 2012. Under the agreement, Mr. Kumar’s last day of employment is scheduled to be November 15, 2012 (the “Scheduled Separation Date”). Mr. Kumar and the Company may subsequently agree to extend the Scheduled Separation Date to a later date. If the Company hires a new CFO prior to such date, Mr. Kumar will remain an employee of the Company until the Scheduled Separation Date unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and Mr. Kumar.

In light of Mr. Kumar’s commitment to continue in his capacity as CFO through the transition period, the Company has agreed to increase Mr. Kumar’s annualized base salary from $225,000 to $275,000 retroactive to January 1, 2012. During the transition period, Mr. Kumar will be paid his adjusted base salary and will continue to vest in his outstanding stock options.

The Company has also agreed to pay Mr. Kumar a single lump sum severance payment in the amount of $168,750, subject to payroll deductions and withholdings, and to reimburse Mr. Kumar for COBRA premiums necessary to continue his current health insurance coverage (including coverage for any eligible dependents) for up to nine months after his final separation date. In addition, the Company has agreed to accelerate the vesting of Mr. Kumar’s outstanding stock options such that the options which otherwise would have vested in the three months after the final separation date had Mr. Kumar continued his employment shall be deemed vested as of the separation date. Each of the foregoing benefits is subject to Mr. Kumar’s delivery to the Company of a release of claims on or within 21 days after his final separation date and allowing the release to become effective.

Mr. Kumar will also become eligible to receive a bonus pursuant to the Company’s 2012 cash performance bonus program adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2012 (the “2012 Performance Bonus Program”). Mr. Kumar’s target bonus opportunity will be 50% of his 2012 adjusted base salary and will be determined based solely upon achievement of the Company’s corporate goals (not based on any individual or department goals). Any bonus which Mr. Kumar may be awarded under the 2012 Performance Bonus Plan will be pro-rated based on the length of Mr. Kumar’s 2012 service to the Company. Whether or not any bonus is paid to executive officers in any year is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Any bonus payable to Mr. Kumar under the 2012 Performance Bonus Program will be paid, subject to applicable payroll deductions and withholdings, on or within ten (10) business days after the date active eligible executive officers are paid their bonuses under the 2012 Performance Bonus Program. The foregoing benefit is subject to Mr. Kumar delivering the release of claims and allowing it to become effective.

The foregoing description of the separation agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the separation agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2012.

Enphase Energy Reports 88% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth

in Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

 

   

Net revenues increased to $55.7 million from $29.6 million year-over-year

 

   

Gross margin increased to 24.4% from 16.2% year-over-year

PETALUMA, Calif. — August 7, 2012 — Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Net Revenues: Total net revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 grew 88 percent to $55.7 million from $29.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. Units sold in the second quarter of 2012 increased to 403,000, compared to 204,000 in the second quarter of 2011.

Gross Margin: Gross margin for the second quarter of 2012 was 24.4 percent, compared to 16.2 percent in the second quarter of 2011.

Net Loss: Second quarter of 2012 net loss was $11.4 million, or a loss of $0.29 per share, which compares to a net loss of $10.3 million, or a loss of $9.95 per share in the year-ago quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2012, or a loss of $0.19 per share, compared to $9.3 million, or a loss of $8.99 per share, in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP results exclude stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense and non-cash gains or losses due to preferred stock warrant revaluations. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included below.

“Our momentum continued in our second quarter as we lead the solar industry in the transition to microinverters,” said Paul Nahi, CEO of Enphase Energy. “Ongoing robust demand throughout North America points to the fundamental appeal of the Enphase solution, which consists of higher power generation, ease of installation and best-in-class monitoring capabilities. Additionally, during the quarter we expanded our presence in Europe, and believe that the markets there are at the beginning of a fundamental shift from string inverters to microinverters.”

“In our second quarter we achieved year-over-year revenue growth of 88 percent,” said Sanjeev Kumar, CFO of Enphase Energy. “We continued to drive gross margin improvement through enhancements related to cost reductions and scale. Gross margins of 24.4 percent improved by over 810 basis points from the year-ago quarter, and 250 basis points from the first quarter of 2012.”

Business Highlights

 

   

Six month net revenues increased 106% to $98.3 million year-over-year.

 

   

Announced the opening of a United Kingdom office and hiring of a country manager to lead expansion in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

 

   

Began rollout of new commercial programs that offer free training and technical design resources, with plans for additional program announcements. Solarbuzz recently reported that 40 percent of commercial PV projects underway in the U.S. are between 50-500kW.

 

   

Announced the deployment of a small commercial solar array on Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals. The 26kW array was constructed by Microgrid Solar.

 

   

Unveiled a new version of Enlighten monitoring and management software with dozens of new features to streamline maintenance and operations of Enphase solar arrays for commercial installers.

Business Outlook

Enphase Energy expects net revenues for the third quarter of 2012 to be within a range of $59 million to $63 million, and for gross margin to be within a range of 23.5 percent to 25 percent.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of our quarterly and year-to-date 2012 actual results on a comparable basis with our quarterly and year-to-date 2011 results. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
