FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

Premier Power Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

 
·
Revenues Increases 53% from Second Quarter
 
·
Gross Margin Increases 11 Points Year-Over-Year
 
·
Acquires Strategic Italian Subsidiary

El Dorado Hills, CA, November 16, 2009 – Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PPRW.OB), a global leader in the development, design, engineering and construction of solar power systems for commercial, government and utility markets in the U.S., Spain and Italy, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

“We are pleased with the continued progress we made during the third quarter, despite the difficult economic and business environment,” said Dean Marks, chief executive officer of Premier Power. “While the challenging economic environment and tight credit markets have impacted our revenue in the first nine months of the year, we have made significant progress in expanding Premier’s global footprint and market opportunity.  With the acquisition of Arco Energy in the third quarter, we further expanded our market leadership positions in Europe. We continue to see significant growth opportunities in Spain and Italy. Our U.S. order backlog and pipeline are larger than it has ever been and we are starting to see signs that the U.S. market is beginning to break loose. Overall, we are very optimistic about our business prospects as we look towards the remainder of the year and expect to deliver solid growth and shareholder value.”

Key Highlights
 
 
·
U.S. commercial revenue in the third quarter was $3.2 million, up $1.8 million or 138%, a clear sign the U.S. market is rebounding, despite the financial crisis.
 
·
Premier Power currently has 20 MWs under development in Italy.  Premier has completed construction on the first MW of the 20 Mws.  Each MW represents approximately $5.5MM in revenue.  Premier plans to recognize the revenue on this first MW in either Q4 or Q1 of next year.  Premier has another 4 MWs currently under construction with mounting structures being put in the ground, which equates to approximately $23MM in revenue.
 
·
Premier's Spanish business has secured contracts for over 4MWs this year, representing 100% growth over last year.  As a result there has been a significant increase in backlog in the first nine months with quarter over quarter increases.
 
·
Premier recently added a new office in Barcelona to compliment its Madrid and Pamplona operations, and has begun securing sales in the region.
 
·
Excluding one-time charges for the acquisition of our new Italian subsidiary operating expenses declined as compared to the second quarter.
 
·
The decline in solar module prices have resulted in a gross margin increase of 11 points in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter
 

 
Third Quarter & Nine Months Business Summary
 
Revenue for the third quarter was $6.3 million, compared to $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, and $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. The third quarter was the first quarter of revenue from our newly acquired Italian subsidiary, which contributed approximately $337,000 of revenue, which does not include an estimated $3.6 million in revenue from our first large scale Italian power plant, which has already been constructed and will be recognized in the coming quarters.

The Company reported a third quarter GAAP net loss of $988,000, or a loss of $0.04 per share, compared to a net income of $338,000, or income of $0.01 per diluted share, for the third quarter last year, and a net loss of 259,000, or a loss of $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenue was $15.2 million, compared to $27.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The nine months ended September 30, 2009 was the first period of revenue from our newly acquired Italian subsidiary, which contributed approximately $337,000 of revenue, which does not include an estimated $3.6 million in revenue from our first large scale Italian power plant, which has already been constructed and will be recognized in the coming quarters.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $526,000, or a loss of $0.02 per share, compared to net income of $613,000 or $0.03 per diluted share for the same period in 2008.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $3.7 million on September 30, 2009, compared to $3.6 million for the period ended June 30, 2009. Project assets increased from zero to over $3.1 million in the third quarter, which reflects Premier’s new focus on development and construction activities that will translate to revenues in subsequent quarters.
