Significant Events in Qtr 1:
Closed $116 Million in new capital, for now $174 Million cash on hand.
PLUG is building a business for long-term growth, growing sales force, capital expenditures to expand into Europe & Asian markets.
Hydrogen fueling: PLUG addressed issue of refueling via forklifts as vehicle to build-out hydrogen infrastructure.
Now, PLUG has expanded to providing GenKey complete hydrogen services. Which includes the refueling & services.
Created 2 additional opportunities:
Providing hydrogen. PLUG may now invest in centralized hydrogen generation that could support 20-40 GenKey sites.
Could also provide hydrogen for retail stores as well as large distribution centers. Have received a lot of inquiry from retail customers about adopting PLUG's technology.
PLUG may use some capital to increase the addressable market into retail-levels, with greater margins as well.
PLUG shipped 750 GenDrive Units in Qtr 2.
Over $80 Million in bookings already this year.
YTD, backlog has gone from 1439 to more than 4000 units
Pottsville PA Walmart site has been installed, with over 1000 fuel cell lifts already in use there.
2 additional Walmart sites are going to be completed in Qtr3. NOTE that Walmart increased it's order from 1 additional site in the 3rd Qtr to 2 additional sites.
Also 45 GenDrives at VW site, with expansion potential. Same as Mercedes & BMW have done. Also mentioned Kroget & Central Grocers sites, also expanding.
PLUG is more than halfway to the $150 Million bookings total for 2014, and this is more than triple that of 1023.
On Gross Margins: ReliOn acquisition will provide increased margins in 2015 & beyond. Also, PLUG is developing it's own high-performance stack, with Air Liquide.
EBITIDA break even in 4th Qtr 2014. EBITDAS loss for Qtr 1 is just $
Expansion plans: $18 Billion European market in 2014. PLUG & Hyundai are on track to finalizing deal by July.
Only 3.4 milllion common stock warrants are left outstanding
Q&A:
Roth Capital: Q - How much service revenue was related to GenKey contracts? A- Very little so far, but will see this increase substantially in Qtr's 2-3-4, with Walmart installations completed. The service business will follow the product business, and wil be Gross margin positive by Qtr 4.
Q - Quarterly pacing of Revenues? A- Qtr-2 $16-18 range. Qtr-3 mid-$22-25 Million range.
Expect 2015 to be $130 Million in Revenues, vs $70 Million for 2014.
Q- Larger orders? A - Should have a significant announcement in the late 3rd Qtr, of another large deal like Walmart. These deal s take 5-6 months to negotiate & finalize, then announce.
Q - Recent Orders? A - have booked orders since last Business Update, by end of Qtr 2 should be at 2/3 way to total 2014 bookings.
Cowen & Co:
Q - " Had $50 Million backlog last year, now seems with current bookings, the $100 + Million figure for 2015 seems conservative?
A- 30-40 % of Revenue is going to be recurring revenues, from GenKey Systems. Looking to about $130 Million for 2015.
Q - 270 units out for Walmart, and over half the Qtr's units have been shipped so far. Factory has been running at a heavier rate and smoother than ever before.
Q -- What is hydrogen consumption Revenues? A - About $250K - 500K per year in recurring revenues per site.
Q - RelOn Acquisition? A - Primarily for cost savings. Also wireless backup business (Sprint AT&T, etc) which could tie-in with the hydrogen production for retail stores, may be symbiotic activity to leverage there. This is not a primary market being focused on, but could be an important secondary one.
Noted that fuel cells are proven, it's all about the refueling and providing the hydrogen now, to expand to many market like the cell-tower backups, etc.
tja, abwarten... erstmal sell
ansonsten Fazit der Botschaft: Nix neues, das heißt, das der Kurs in nächster Zeit wohl auf dem jetzigen Niveau vor sich hindümpeln wird.
