Enphase Energy Q1 Earnings: Revenue, EPS Come In Below Estimates Amid 'Softening' US Demand

Enphase Energy Inc ENPH reported financial results for the first quarter after the market close on Tuesday.

Here’s a rundown of the energy company’s quarterly results and a look at what’s driving shares lower after hours.

Q1 Earnings: Enphase Energy reported first-quarter revenue of $263.3 million, which missed the consensus estimate of $281.95 million, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported adjusted earnings of 35 cents per share, which missed analyst estimates of 40 cents per share.

U.S. revenue was down approximately 34% on a year-over-year basis, while revenues in Europe climbed approximately 70%.

“The decline in revenue for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was the result of seasonality and a further softening in U.S. demand, while we continued to reduce shipments to manage channel inventory,” the company said.

Gross margin came in at 43.9%. Enphase said it generated $49.2 million in cash flow from operations and $41.8 million in free cash flow during the quarter. The company ended the quarter with $1.63 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Outlook: Enphase saw second-quarter revenue in the range of $290 million to $330 million versus estimates of $350.706 million. The company anticipated second-quarter gross margin of 42% to 45%.

Shares appeared to be reacting negatively to the company’s worse-than-expected results combined with Enphase’s weak guidance for the second quarter.

Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 4:30 p.m. ET.
