First Quarter fiscal 2012 Results Summary
Management Comments
"Business with new customers in the on-road electric vehicle sector and continued demand for aerial work platform and forklift truck applications combined to accelerate Sevcon's top-line growth and improved our profitability in the first quarter of fiscal 2012," said President and CEO Matt Boyle. "This was a strong sales quarter for us in Europe and the Asia Pacific region. Contributing significantly to this growth were several new relationships with manufacturers of innovative zero-emissions vehicles for production in volume, including electric scooters, four-wheel drive electric all-terrain vehicles, and electric city cars."
"Our results this quarter also were driven by growth in engineering revenue from major global automotive OEMs, who are increasingly turning to Sevcon for world-class capabilities in electric vehicle power electronics and drivetrain technology," Boyle said. "In addition, we made significant advances in product development, highlighted by the release of new on-road variants of our Gen4 range of controllers, which have been highly successful in expanding our presence in the on-road electric vehicle market globally. For example, we were awarded a contract to supply pioneering Gen4-based drivetrain control technology for a new range of utility and all-terrain vehicles being manufactured in China by the Zhejiang Xinyang Industry Co. Ltd. In addition, we partnered with several larger companies in key applications, including a rare earth element, material reduction project with Cummins Generator Technologies."
"Our first-quarter results demonstrate that we are executing successfully on our strategy to supplement sales to our customers in the industrial vehicle segment by capitalizing on opportunities in the on-road electric vehicle sector," said Boyle. "Looking forward, we remain optimistic about continued 2012 growth on both the top and bottom lines."

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this release about Sevcon's prospects for fiscal 2012 are forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those we anticipate. In particular: global demand for electric vehicles may not grow as much as we expect; our customers' products may not be as successful as those of other entrants in the electric vehicle market who are supplied by our competitors; and we are dependent on a few key suppliers and subcontractors for most components, sub-assemblies and finished products, and we may not be able to establish alternative sources of supply in time if supplies are interrupted. Please see the company's most recent forms 10-K and 10-Q on file with the SEC for further information regarding Sevcon's risk factors.
