Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS), a global leader
in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement, and
control solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
“Fourth quarter results exceeded our guidance, with total
revenue resuming year-over-year growth on better-than-expected
demand in our semiconductor and data center computing markets,”
said Steve Kelley, president and CEO of Advanced Energy. “Customers
are embracing our best-in-class products, which we believe will
drive meaningful share gains as markets recover.”
Quarter Results
Revenue was $415.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024,
compared with $374.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 and
$405.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
GAAP net income from continuing operations was $49.1 million or
$1.29 per diluted share in the quarter, compared with GAAP net loss
of $14.1 million or a loss of $0.38 per diluted share in the prior
quarter, and GAAP net income of $37.9 million or $1.01 per diluted
share a year ago.
GAAP net income in the fourth quarter included a one-time, net
tax benefit of $15.0 million as a result of an intercompany
transfer of assets as part of the company streamlining its legal
entity structure. GAAP net loss in the third quarter reflected a
$28.5 million restructuring charge as part of our previously
announced manufacturing consolidation. GAAP net income in the
fourth quarter of 2023 included a restructuring and impairment
charge of $18.1 million as part of the factory and cost
optimization plan and a tax benefit of $25.6 million as a result of
the release of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Non-GAAP net income was $49.4 million or $1.30 per diluted share
in the fourth quarter of 2024. This compares with $37.0 million or
$0.98 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024, and $46.7
million or $1.24 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of
2023.
Advanced Energy generated $82.7 million in cash flow from
continuing operations during the quarter and paid $3.8 million in
quarterly dividends.
Full Year 2024 Results
2024 revenue was $1.48 billion, a 10% decrease from $1.66
billion in 2023.
GAAP net income from continuing operations was $56.3 million or
$1.49 per diluted share in 2024, compared with $130.7 million or
$3.46 per diluted share in 2023.
GAAP net income for the year included a one-time, net tax
benefit of $15.0 million as a result of an intercompany transfer of
assets as part of the company streamlining its legal entity
structure and a $29.6 million restructuring charge as part of our
previously announced manufacturing consolidation. GAAP net income
in 2023 included a restructuring and impairment charge of $27.0
million as part of the factory and cost optimization plan and a tax
benefit of $25.6 million as a result of the release of a deferred
tax asset valuation allowance.
The Company generated $132.9 million in cash flow from operating
activities from continuing operations, repurchased $1.8 million of
common stock at an average price of $93.58, and paid $15.4 million
in dividends. The Company used $355.0 million of cash on hand to
prepay the term loan. At year-end, outstanding debt was $564.7
million, representing the 2028 convertible notes, net of
unamortized issuance costs. Cash and equivalents at year-end were
$722.1 million.
Non-GAAP net income was $140.3 million or $3.71 per diluted
share in 2024. This compares with $184.0 million or $4.88 per
diluted share in 2023.
A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in

Non-GAAP Measures
This release includes measures, such as non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) that are not prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Management uses non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate business performance
without the impacts of certain non-cash charges and other charges
which are not part of our usual operations. We use these non-GAAP
measures to assess performance against business objectives and make
business decisions, including developing budgets and forecasting
future periods. In addition, management’s incentive plans include
these non-GAAP measures as criteria for achievements. These
non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used
by other companies. However, we believe these non-GAAP measures
provide additional information that enables readers to evaluate our
business from the perspective of management. The presentation of
this additional information should not be considered a substitute
for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The non-GAAP results presented below exclude the impact of
non-cash related charges, such as stock-based compensation,
amortization of intangible assets, and long-term unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses. In addition, we exclude discontinued
operations and other non-recurring items such as
acquisition-related costs, facility expansion and related costs,
and restructuring expenses, as they are not indicative of future
performance. The tax effect of our non-GAAP adjustments represents
the anticipated annual tax rate applied to each non-GAAP adjustment
after consideration of their respective book and tax
treatments.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and statements we make on the above announced
conference call contain, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements in this
press release or the conference call that are not historical
information are forward-looking statements. For example, statements
relating to our beliefs, expectations, and plans are
forward-looking statements, as are statements that certain actions,
conditions, or circumstances will continue. The inclusion of words
such as "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "can," "may," "might,"
"continue," "enables," "plan," "intend," "should," "could,"
"would," "likely," "potential," or "believe," and similar
expressions and the negative versions thereof indicate
forward-looking statements; however, not all forward-looking
statements may contain such words or expressions. These
forward-looking statements are based upon information available as
of the date of this press release and management’s current
estimates, forecasts, and assumptions. Although we believe that our
expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we may not achieve the results,
performance, plans, or objectives expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and many of
which are beyond our control.
Risks and uncertainties to which our forward-looking statements
are subject include, but are not limited to: volatility and
business fluctuations in the industries in which we operate; our
ability to achieve design wins with new and existing customers; our
ability to accurately forecast and meet customer demand; risks
related to global economic conditions, such as the impact of
escalating global conflicts on macroeconomic conditions, economic
uncertainty, market volatility, rising interest rates, inflation,
or recession; customer price sensitivity; concentration of our
customer base; risks associated with breach of our information
security measures; difficulties with the implementation of our
enterprise resource planning and other enterprise-wide information
technology system applications; our loss of or inability to attract
and retain key personnel; risks associated with our manufacturing
footprint optimization and movement of manufacturing locations for
certain products; disruptions to our manufacturing operations or
those of our customers or suppliers; our ability to successfully
identify, close, integrate and realize anticipated benefits from
our acquisitions; quality issues or unanticipated costs in
fulfilling our warranty obligations (including our discontinued
solar inverter product line); risks inherent in our international
operations, including the effect of trade and export controls,
political and geographical risks, the impact of tariffs on our
supply or products, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
our ability to enforce, protect, and maintain our proprietary
technology and intellectual property rights; regulatory risk
related to our supply chain; legal matters, claims, investigations,
and proceedings; changes to tax laws and regulations or our tax
rates; changes in federal, state, local and foreign regulations,
including with respect to privacy and data protection, and
environmental regulation; the effect of our debt obligations and
restrictive covenants on our ability to operate our business; risks
related to our unfunded pension obligations; our estimates of the
fair value of intangible assets; the potential impact of dilution
related to our convertible debt, hedge, and warrant transactions;
and certain risks relating to ownership of our common stock.
Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements, and readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Factors that could contribute to these differences or
prove our forward-looking statements, by hindsight, to be overly
optimistic or unachievable include, but are not limited to, the
risks and uncertainties listed above and described in Advanced
Energy’s Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other reports and statements
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
These reports and statements are available on the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov. Copies may also be obtained from Advanced Energy’s
investor relations page at ir.advancedenergy.com or by contacting
Advanced Energy’s investor relations at 970-407-6555.
Forward-looking statements are made and based on information
available to us on the date of this press release. Aspirational
goals and targets discussed on the conference call or in the
presentation materials should not be interpreted in any respect as
guidance. We assume no obligation to update the information in this
press release or provide the reasons why our actual results may
differ.
