Q3 revenue is $33.8 million, representing 50% top line growth year over year

Behavioral Demand Response pilot delivers 5% energy savings at peak

Opower (NYSE: OPWR), a leading provider of cloud-based software for the utility industry, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

“We are succeeding on the strength of our solutions and our consistent execution over the 7-year history of our company,” said Daniel Yates, Chief Executive Officer of Opower. “We attribute our success to the power of our platform and our ability to digitize the customer experience for utilities.”

Revenue of $33.8 million exceeded Opower’s Q3 guidance by $2.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.1) million was also well ahead of expectations.

During Q3, Opower demonstrated the effectiveness of its Behavioral Demand Response (BDR) solution. Across ten peak events called by three separate customers, Opower BDR delivered an average load reduction of nearly 3 percent with peak load reduction of 5 percent. Opower BDR uses smart meter data, proprietary analytics, behavioral science and high volume messaging to deliver peak reduction for utility customers. “I cannot think of a better way to demonstrate our technology and data lead,” said Yates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, non-GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding and adjusted EBITDA.

We define non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share as excluding the impact of stock-based compensation. The weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-GAAP net loss per share gives effect to the conversion of the preferred stock as of the beginning of each of the periods presented.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude our income tax provision, other income (expense), including interest, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Opower's financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, and to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information regarding past financial performance and future prospects, and permit us to analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions more thoroughly. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other software companies, many of which disclose similar non-GAAP financial measures.

We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is their exclusion of significant income and expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management on which income and expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

(2) During the first quarter of 2014, the Company updated its methodology for allocating certain general and administrative costs to more closely align these costs to the functional departments consuming the related services. As a result, certain prior period costs have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses primarily based on the headcount in each of these functional areas. The reclassifications for the three months ended September 30, 2013 reduced general and administrative expenses by $1.4 million and increased cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses by $0.2 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The reclassifications for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reduced general and administrative expenses by $3.5 million and increased cost of revenue, sales and marketing expenses, and research and development expenses by $0.4 million, $1.6 million, and $1.5 million, respectively. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating loss, net loss or cash flows.
