2015 Financial Highlights:
Record annual net sales of $64.4 million represents growth of 184% compared to 2014
Record annual net sales of commercial products of $14.2 million increased 148% compared to $5.7 million in 2014
Gross margin of 45.5% represented 11.2 percentage points of improvement compared to 2014
Record income from continuing operations of $9.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, represents a $13.7 million increase, from a loss of $4.2 million, or $0.55 per share, in 2014
Ended the year with $34.6 million in cash and no debt
2015 Operational Milestones:
Expanded U.S. Navy fleet penetration to an estimated 30% of the active fleet
Announced first foreign Navy fleet sale for the Royal Australian Navy
Announced landmark contract award from one of the largest global healthcare institutions to retrofit its main campus in Northeast Ohio with tubular LEDs (“TLEDs”) for 250,000 tubes and began delivery in the fourth quarter
Added 10 new retail chain operators with over 3,836 combined locations as new customers
Established our partnership with U.S. Green Building Council and added 41 school districts as customers in seven states
Completed restructuring efforts by divesting and discontinuing remaining non-core operations
Closed successful secondary offering of 1.5 million new shares at a price to the public of $17 per share, raising $23.6 million in net proceeds to the company
“We are pleased to announce another strong quarter to close out a milestone year for Energy Focus,” said James Tu, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our unique positioning and focus on serving government and business lighting needs with our industry leading TLED product portfolio, as well as direct and persistent customer relationship building, started to deliver dividends of remarkable sales growth and our first profitable year since we started the restructuring in the middle of 2013. Throughout the year we made impactful progress toward building Energy Focus into a trusted LED lighting partner, as we expanded our product reach to 178 ships within the U.S. Navy fleet, obtained numerous marquee commercial customers, established relationships with additional, multi-million dollar channel partners, and significantly strengthened our balance sheet,” continued Mr. Tu.
“Our fourth quarter sales, although still close to doubling from the same period a year ago, were slightly slowed by the budget standstill within the U.S. government throughout most of the fourth quarter, which held up or slowed down ship-level buying decisions for our Military Intellitube®. We anticipate the most pronounced financial impact from the temporary softness in our Military Intellitube sales will be felt in the first quarter and partially into the second quarter of 2016.”
“Our greatest growth opportunities ahead lie in our commercial products, which nearly quintupled from the same period a year ago and contributed $7 million in sales during the quarter. Throughout the year, we continued to experience a ramp-up in order flow from the third quarter, and we scored additional key wins against incumbent lighting brands across the verticals we have been targeting. We also expanded our government client base for our commercial products to include prison systems, VA hospitals, and the Department of Health and Human Services, each of which represent significant, incremental addressable market opportunity for Energy Focus.”
“As we have mentioned in the past, due to our concentration in U.S. Navy sales, our quarterly sales can fluctuate unpredictably, as we have seen in the past quarter and are seeing to a greater extent in the first quarter of 2016. There is no fundamental shift we are aware of in our competitiveness or long-term demand for our military products—in fact we believe that our brand awareness and trust have only grown over time within the U.S. Navy and allied foreign navies. Therefore, despite the short-term financial impact from the defense budget impasse, we are continuing to move forward with our growth initiatives by expanding our geographic footprint, developing and introducing exciting and industry-leading products, launching new operations to better address the needs of and tighten the relationships with our business customers, and strengthening our leadership team. Once the impact from the U.S. government budget standstill is fully absorbed during the first half of 2016, we are confident overall sales growth will resume,” concluded Mr. Tu.

Military maritime products $ 10,344 $ 7,434 $ 50,128 $ 16,913
Commercial products 6,905 1,391 14,156 5,712
R&D services - 19 119 75
Total net sales $ 17,249 $ 8,844 $ 64,403 $ 22,700
Financial Results:
Net sales of $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 95% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was due to a 396% increase in commercial product sales, as well as continued sales of our military maritime products for the U.S. Navy. Net sales of our commercial products increased 107% sequentially from the third quarter of 2015 as we continued to penetrate the markets we are targeting.
Gross profit was $7.6 million, or 43.9 percent of net sales, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $3.2 million, or 36.1 percent of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was due primarily to engaging new suppliers to lower our product costs as we increased sales volumes, performed value analysis/engineering processes, and our continued development of operating efficiencies.
Operating income was $1.5 million for the quarter compared to a loss of $12 thousand in last year’s same period. Income from continuing operations was $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $65 thousand, or a loss of $0.01 per share, for the same period last year. Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $750 thousand, or $0.08 per share. Discontinued operations includes the results of the Company’s former United Kingdom subsidiary, Crescent Lighting Limited “(CLL”), as well as its former turnkey solutions business, Energy Focus LED Solutions, LLC (“EFLS”). Discontinued operations also includes a $300 thousand settlement amount recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015, as well as legal fees incurred throughout all periods, for a dispute between the Company and the party that purchased its pool products business in November 2013.
Net sales for the full year 2015 were $64.4 million, an increase of 184% compared to 2014. Commercial product sales increased 148% percent as we continued to penetrate our targeted vertical markets of K-12 schools, industrial manufacturers, national retailers, and hospitals. Military maritime product sales increased 196% as a result of continued high-volume sales to distributors for the U.S. Navy. Income from continuing operations was $9.5 million in 2015, an increase of $13.7 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million in 2014. Higher net sales and gross margins, as well as continued operational improvements resulted in the improved financial results. Additionally, the 2014 net loss included one-time charges of $2.7 million related to the conversion of the unsecured convertible notes in March 2014, primarily for the write-off of the remaining unamortized discount associated with the notes.
At December 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $34.6 million, compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2014. Net cash provided by operating activities of $4.4 million in 2015 resulted from net income, adjusted for non-cash items, including: depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and an adjustment to the reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. Net cash used in investment activities in 2015 was $2.2 million and consisted of the acquisition of property and equipment, primarily related to the purchase of equipment to be used in our "Buy American" product initiative. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $26.0 million, and was primarily due to receiving proceeds of $23.6 million from the follow-on stock offering, which closed on September 16, 2015, and receiving proceeds of $2.5 million from the exercises of outstanding warrants in the first quarter of 2015.
Business Outlook:
Due to the slowdown in sales of military maritime products for the U.S. Navy, we expect first quarter 2016 net sales to be between $7 and $9 million, and this will likely cause our military maritime product sales to be lower than 2015. However, we expect significant year-over-year growth in our commercial sales throughout 2016, and barring unforeseen significantly adverse economic events, we expect total sales in 2016 to exceed those in 2015. Gross margins for 2016 will be dependent on product sales mix between the military maritime and commercial products, and operating expenses are expected to increase from their current levels as we build business development infrastructure and strengthen our leadership team to support geographic and market share expansion primarily for our commercial products.

Due to the slowdown in sales of military maritime products for the U.S. Navy, we expect first quarter 2016 net sales to be between $7 and $9 million, and this will likely cause our military maritime product sales to be lower than 2015. However, we expect significant year-over-year growth in our commercial sales throughout 2016, and barring unforeseen significantly adverse economic events, we expect total sales in 2016 to exceed those in 2015. Gross margins for 2016 will be dependent on product sales mix between the military maritime and commercial products, and operating expenses are expected to increase from their current levels as we build business development infrastructure and strengthen our leadership team to support geographic and market share expansion primarily for our commercial products.

We believe that important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our dependence on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, in particular, our sales for the U.S. Navy, and on the levels of funding available to such customers and our ability to maintain or grow such sales levels; our history of operating losses and our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or receive sufficient financing, on acceptable terms, to continue our operations or fund our growth; general economic conditions in the United States and in other markets in which we operate; our ability to compete effectively against companies with greater resources; our ability to implement and manage our growth plans, improve or maintain efficiencies and control expenses to increase sales and improve margins; our ability to increase demand in our targeted markets; the timing of large orders and significant expenses as we invest in growth opportunities; market acceptance of LED lighting technology; our ability to respond to new lighting technologies and market trends with safe and reliable products; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the impact of any type of legal claim or dispute; our ability to obtain critical components and finished products from third-party suppliers on acceptable terms; risks inherent in international markets, such as economic and political uncertainty, changing regulatory and tax requirements and currency fluctuations; and our ability to maintain effective internal controls and otherwise comply with our obligations as a public company.
