MINNEAPOLIS, MN — (Marketwire) — 07/21/11 — Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. (OTCBB: TEWI), a leader in distributed power generation products and intelligent energy management services, announced today preliminary financial results for the second quarter of 2011. The Company reports $3.3 million in gross sales for the second quarter, down from $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Service revenues of approximately $1.1 million are up 14% compared to the same quarter in 2010. Bookings, or purchase orders on future sales, continue to be strong. The Company plans to file its complete quarterly financial statements on or before August 15, 2011.
“While equipment sales for the second quarter dipped slightly, primarily due to an internal slow down in our sales and shipping operations, service revenues increased significantly due to the acquisition of Stanza Systems, our Houston-based smart grid development subsidiary. We also continue to show a strong increase in purchase orders, an indicator of future sales revenues. With a new, more versatile financial lender now in place, we believe we will quickly recover our sales. In addition, we are positioning ourselves to grow significantly with new service technologies and sales initiatives that are ready to be implemented companywide,” stated Jeffrey Flannery, Chief Executive Officer of Titan Energy Worldwide.
“We believe our advanced monitoring and remote control services to be a strong area of future growth for Titan. We are currently monitoring Generac, MTU and Cummins generators in Minnesota, Florida and Texas, and we are preparing to roll out our monitoring services to a number of new customers in the coming months. These higher margin service revenues help us improve our bottom line performance, and we believe this advanced monitoring technology will help us compete more effectively and continue to gain longer term contracts with our customers. The result will be, we believe, a more solid, predictable base of revenue for the Company, and improved net income.
“We believe our equipment revenues will quickly rebound and we will see stronger results in the coming months. Equipment sales were temporarily impacted when we changed lenders, moving from a regional bank in the Midwest to a financial institution in New York that will provide us with stronger lending services in all of our sales territories. This change affected us more than expected and we experienced a drop in shipments and revenues as a result. In the long run, we expect this new financial arrangement to help us finance larger orders and allow us to release a greater number of shipments in a more timely manner. The continued growth in purchase orders for new equipment combined with this more effective financial arrangement should, we believe, result in stronger sales in the third and fourth quarters. We also have a number of growth initiatives that we are preparing to launch in the near term which we believe will strengthen our sales efforts particularly in the New York and Miami regions,” added Mr. Flannery.
