Revenue and earnings for the second quarter are given below, compared with those of the prior quarter and the year ago quarter:


Our second quarter revenue was $75.9 million, an increase of 8% sequentially from $70.0 million, and an increase of 2% year-over-year. We shipped 203 megawatts DC, or 675,000 microinverters. Our non-GAAP gross margin was 30.5%, an increase of 400 basis points from 26.5% in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to pricing management, supply chain optimization, transition to IQ 7, and the IQ 8 milestone payment. Our non-GAAP operating expenses were $19.0 million, an increase of 7% compared to the prior quarter. We are very pleased to report non-GAAP operating income of $4.1 million, our third consecutive quarter of non-GAAP operating income. Non-GAAP net income was $1.6 million, which resulted in basic non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.02.

We exited the quarter with $58.5 million in cash. Inventory was $17.5 million in the second quarter, at the lowest point since 2014, compared to $18.5 million in the first quarter and $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.

In summary, we are pleased with our continued progress towards our 30-20-10 target operating model, which we expect to achieve in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Business Highlights

- Enphase announced a definitive agreement to acquire SunPower's microinverter business for $25 million in cash and 7.5 million shares of Enphase common stock. Enphase will become the exclusive microinverter supplier for SunPower's residential business in the U.S. Enphase's IQ 7XS microinverter offers 97.5% CEC efficiency and was designed specifically for SunPower's X Series 96-cell PV modules with peak AC output power of 320W and a Maximum Power Point (MPP) tracking range of 53-64V. We are on track to close at the end of the third quarter of 2018 subject to product qualification and other closing conditions under the definitive asset purchase agreement.

- Enphase announced it started shipping its IQ 7X microinverters to solar distributors in the U.S. The Enphase IQ 7X Micro™ is the highest power and highest efficiency variant of the seventh-generation IQ family of microinverters. The Enphase IQ 7X Micro is ideal for integration into AC Modules (ACMs).

- Enphase announced the introduction of IQ 7 in Europe during the second quarter at the Intersolar Europe tradeshow. This introduction represented Enphase's entry into the German and Austrian solar markets, while expanding its presence in other solar markets such as France, Benelux, UK, and Switzerland.

IQ 7 microinverters offer state-of-the-art power performance, are lightweight (1.08 kg) and offer a compact form factor (212 mm x 175 mm x 30 mm). With 96.5% efficiency, IQ 7 microinverters produce up to 23% more power at nearly half the weight of Enphase's fifth-generation S-series microinverters, which they replace in Australia and New Zealand.
