MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., Sept. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocean Power Technologies (Nasdaq: OPTT), a leader in innovative and cost-effective ocean energy solutions today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter of 2019 ended July 31, 2018.
“The strong momentum that OPT saw in our first fiscal quarter is indicative of our team’s success in its sales and marketing efforts,” said George H. Kirby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Power Technologies. “For the first time, our company is executing multiple contracts to supply PowerBuoys™ in new markets across multiple applications.

We successfully shipped our PB3 PowerBuoy™ for deployment in the Adriatic Sea, fulfilling a key milestone with Eni S.p.A. We are also preparing to deliver a PB3 PowerBuoy™ to Premier Oil for our upcoming deployment in the North Sea. Given our robust pipeline of opportunities, brand recognition as an innovator in offshore power, and broadening demand for our solutions, we anticipate securing additional orders to deliver PB3 PowerBuoys™ to prospective partners around the world.”

First Fiscal Quarter Operations Review
“Our highly skilled and talented team is delivering positive results for customers and prospective partners as we continue to innovate and address critical needs for our technology in important end-markets in oil and gas, defense and security, science and research, and communications. For instance, the contract with Premier Oil to supply a PowerBuoy™ to their Huntington Field is a significant opportunity for OPT to provide critical surveillance services to our oil and gas partners,” Mr. Kirby added. “The addition of Matthew May as our Vice President of Global Business Development continues to enable our success in forging a robust pipeline through new and expanding relationships as we bring our technology to a broader market.

First Fiscal Quarter Financial Review
Income Statement
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $31,000, compared to $195,000 for the prior-year period. The decline in revenue is due to the timing of the new contracts signed with Eni and Premier Oil in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the MES and ONR contracts being completed in the fiscal 2018.
The net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $3.2 million, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the prior-year period. The increase in net loss was a direct result of costs associated with scaling business development, engineering, and marketing for focus towards commercial contracts.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities were $8.4 million as of July 31, 2018, down from $12.2 million on April 30, 2018. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million during the three months ended July 31, 2018 as compared to $4.2 million during the prior-year period.
