Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 5, 2015, Energy Focus, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. A copy of the press release is furnished with this Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this Report by reference.
The information under this Item in this Report, as well as Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information under this Item in this Report, and the Exhibit, shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
In addition to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we have presented net sales amounts excluding certain categories of revenue. Management believes these measures are helpful to investors as they provide a more comparable basis to analyze our revenue sources and growth as we have shifted our business away from turnkey solutions sales and disposed of CLL in August 2015. However, the inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that future results will be unaffected by the items that are being excluded or that the items for which the adjustments have been made are unusual or infrequent. The Company further believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form the basis for how the Company’s management team and Board of Directors evaluate the Company’s performance. By disclosing these non-GAAP measures, the Company believes that it is providing for investors the basis for a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which the management team operates the business.
The press release, furnished with this Report as Exhibit 99.1, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the Company's future operations and, as such, concerns matters that are not historical facts. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements. Refer to Energy Focus, Inc.'s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other periodic filings for a description of the foregoing and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. In addition, other risk factors include, but are not limited to, our history of operating losses and our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or receive sufficient financing, on acceptable terms, to continue our operations or fund our growth; our dependence on government customers, in particular the U.S. Navy, and on the levels of funding available to such customers and our ability to satisfactorily fulfill our contractual obligations to such customers; general economic conditions, including the strength of the construction industry, both in the United States and in other markets in which we operate; our ability to compete effectively against companies with greater resources; our ability to achieve and manage our growth plans, improve or maintain efficiencies and control expenses to increase sales and improve margins; market acceptance of LED lighting technology; our ability to respond to new lighting technologies and market trends with safe and reliable products; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and the impact of any type of legal claim or dispute; our reliance on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue; our ability to obtain critical components and finished products from third-party suppliers on acceptable terms; risks inherent in international markets, such as economic and political uncertainty, changing regulatory and tax requirements and currency fluctuations; and our ability to maintain effective internal controls. In light of the foregoing, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Report speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments.
