Telkonet Announces 2007 Fourth Quarter and Year-end Results
Tuesday April 1, 4:01 pm ET
GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telkonet, Inc. (AMEX:TKO - News), the leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions for integrated energy management, networking, building automation and proactive support services, announced today fourth quarter and 2007 year-end results for the period ended December 31, 2007. The 2007 results of operations include the acquisitions of EthoStream, LLC and Smart Systems International on March 9, and March 15, 2007, respectively. The 2007 consolidated results include the operations of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:MSHI - News) or “MST” which also includes results of MST’s acquisition of Newport Telecommunications Co. on July 18, 2007.
ADVERTISEMENT
For the 2007 fourth quarter, Telkonet, Inc. had revenue of $4.7 million, an increase of 393% compared to $0.9 million in the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter. The increase was a result of both organic growth and growth from acquisitions. Excluding revenue from its MST subsidiary, Telkonet had revenue of $3.7 million, compared to $0.5 million in the year-earlier period. Telkonet (excluding the results of MST) had a negative adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Stock-based compensation), a non-GAAP measure, of $(3.5) million in the 2007 fourth quarter, compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of $(3.7) million in the 2006 fourth quarter.
Telkonet, Inc. reported a fourth quarter 2007 net loss of $(5.5) million, or $(0.08) per share, compared to a net loss of $(5.1) million or $(0.08) per share in the 2006 fourth quarter. The 2007 fourth quarter net loss included a loss of $(3.1) million from MST, net of minority interest, a one-time gain on the sale of an investment of approximately $1.9 million and non-cash expenses of $0.5 million related to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, while the 2006 fourth quarter loss included non-cash expenses of $0.3 million related to stock compensation, depreciation and amortization.
In the twelve months ending December 31, 2007, Telkonet had revenue of $14.2 million, an increase of 173% compared to $5.2 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. Excluding revenue from its MST, Telkonet generated revenue of $11.5 million compared to $3.4 million in the year-earlier period. The revenue growth was a result of both organic growth and growth from acquisitions. Telkonet (excluding the results of MST) had a negative adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Stock-based compensation), a non-GAAP measure, of $(12.9) million in the fiscal year 2007, compared to a negative adjusted EBITDA of $(12.9) million in the year-earlier period.
Telkonet reported a net loss of $(20.4) million, or $(0.31) per share, compared to a net loss of $(27.4) million or $(0.54) per share for the year-earlier period. The 2007 net loss included a loss of $(7.1) million from MST, net of minority interest. Also included in the loss are non-cash expenses of $2.1 million related to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, while the 2006 net loss included non-cash expenses of $1.6 million related to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization.
“During the fourth quarter of 2007 the Company took significant steps to position itself for growth and improved operating results in 2008,” said Jason Tienor, Telkonet’s president and CEO. “We sharpened our focus in areas where we are able to generate near-term revenue growth, such as energy management, where we have recently landed significant contracts with commercial customers and hospitality management firms. Today’s announcement of an energy management contract with a Fortune 100 company is another example of how our direct sales efforts are yielding results. Many of these relationships are already contributing to revenue growth and improved visibility. We are also excited by the recent launch of the next-generation 200Mbps Telkonet Series 5™ powerline communications (PLC) system. Recently, we completed the first deployment of the system in a high-profile location. We expect to increase our marketing efforts around this product. On the cost side, last year we began the process of consolidating operations, which has resulted in the elimination of our Las Vegas office. The actions the Company has taken are expected to reduce annual operating expenses by at least $4 million per year.”
Some of the recent highlights include:
* First commercial installation of the next-generation 200Mbps Telkonet Series 5 powerline communications (PLC) system. The Company and MSTI Holdings, Inc. announced the first commercial installation of the 200Mbps Telkonet Series 5 powerline system, enabling broadband networking in a rapid deployment at 370 Lexington, a high-rise commercial office building located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. MSTI and Telkonet are partnering to bring the groundbreaking Telkonet Series 5 platform to building owners throughout the Tri-State area as part of an aggressive marketing program.
* $3.5 Million contract with InTown Suites. The Company was awarded a contract to install its intelligent Telkonet SmartEnergy™ system (TSE). Telkonet will install TSE products in 125 locations across the country, as an integral component in the organization’s commitment to achieving increased energy efficiencies at their properties. The contract is expected to be completed by the end of 2008 second quarter.
* Appointment of new management team. In December the company appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and new Chief Operating Officer.
* Growing sales of energy management solutions to the hospitality sector. The Company has entered into a groundbreaking energy efficiency program utilizing Wisconsin's Focus on Energy Program Incentives to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions within the state of Wisconsin. Focus on Energy has already saved business customers more than $100 million annually. The Telkonet SmartEnergy advanced occupancy-driven in-room energy management solution provides hospitality industry customers with discounted energy management and energy efficiency products and installation under the program.
2008 Business Outlook
The Company expects record 2008 first quarter revenue and expects significant sequential revenue growth, due to excellent visibility from recent customer awards.
The Company will hold a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. eastern time to discuss the results. Interested parties should dial 888.609.5701 (domestically) or 913.312.1384 (internationally). Please use passcode 7884282. There will be a replay of the call available until May 1, 2008. The replay is available by dialing 888.203.1112 (domestically) or 719.457.0820 (internationally). Please use passcode 7884282.
Telkonet also reported that its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which statements were included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission contained an unqualified opinion from its independent registered public accounting firm which included an explanatory paragraph raising doubt about Telkonet's ability to continue as a going concern. This announcement, which is being made in compliance with the AMEX Company Guide Rule 610(b) requiring a public announcement of the receipt of an audit opinion that contains a going-concern qualification, does not reflect any change or amendment to the financial statements as filed.
To comply with Regulation G promulgated pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Telkonet Corporation attached to this news release and will post to the company’s investor relations web site (www.telkonet.com) any reconciliations of differences between non-GAAP financial information that may be required in connection with issuing the company’s quarterly financial results.
The Company, as is common in its industry, uses EBITDA as a measure of performance to demonstrate earnings exclusive of interest and non-cash events. The Company manages its business based on its cash flows. The Company, in its daily management of its business affairs and analysis of its monthly, quarterly and annual performance, makes its decisions based on cash flows, not on the amortization of assets obtained through historical activities. The Company, in managing its current and future affairs, cannot affect the amortization of the intangible assets to any material degree, and therefore uses EBITDA as its primary management guide. Since an outside investor may base its evaluation of the Company’s performance based on the Company’s net loss not its cash flows, there is a limitation to the EBITDA measurement. EBITDA is not, and should not be considered, an alternative to net loss, loss from operations, or any other measure for determining operating performance of liquidity, as determined under accounting principals generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The most directly comparable GAAP reference in the Company’s case is the removal of interest, depreciation, amortization, taxes and other non-cash expense.

Looks like I'm the freakin' April fool. Can't believe this POS has bounced near $1.00
Hey Shredder,
hope other things are going well..
Will be interesting to see what Pickett has in store tomorrow for news and CC diversions on April Fool's Day, after the market close.. They have never lived up to any yet but will see if April 1st has any significance for surprise or has implication to TKO shareholders being 'fools'..
GL2 all TKO shareholders...
Yep, in at 1.11, watched it bounce around for awhile and had several chances to just take my money back and walk away when the biach popped back near my entry point. Sold half at .81 to play something else and later had to have some emergency cash and dumped the rest at .60 right before it jumped. When it first stalled around a buck I should have bailed. OH WELL, POS!
Ouch we've been hearing this chit for 3years..I believe it when I see it..
enjoy your weekend!
Hey Lakingsphan,
how they shakin??
Reference below, FWIW!! Could be some of that funny chit, though..
New Contract! Load Up! 27-Mar-08 05:14 pm I'm hearing TKO has a major new contract with EDS/NMCI. Finally, we are going to see the revenues this company is able to generate with a modern and fully functional technology. I think the contract amount is about 25 million, though not certain of the time frame. I would like to thank Lateraline, Pizzrod, Major, and some of the other longtime faithful. I know the stock is sitting at 60c, but it should be just temorary. Look for news in the AM. Rating :

TKO presented at the Greentech Investor Conference on March 20th, but the presentation focused on their SmartEnergy products. I think the 10K will have a lot of detail, but the company has not started regular earnings conference calls yet. Once I get through the 10K, I will call them for another update. They may do a call this time, though, especially if they also have some product news to share.
The current economy is good for TKO. Their SmartEnergy products have a very fast payback when energy costs are high, and all of their potential customers are looking for ways to get energy costs under control. The broadband over powerline products are the cheapest way to bring an older hotel or apartment building into the wired world, and those customers are looking for new features to compete in the marketplace, while keeping incremental costs as low as possible. TKO remains a Top Buy all the way up to $5 for my $15 target as they turn profitable.
Telkonet Offers Energy Conservation Using Wisconsin's Focus On Energy Incentive Program

Telkonet offers lease to own program to hoteliers to reduce hospitality industry's energy consumption and carbon footprint
GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telkonet, Inc., (AMEX:TKO - News) the leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions for integrated energy management, networking, building automation and proactive support services, has created a groundbreaking energy efficiency program utilizing Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy Program Incentives to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions within the state of Wisconsin.

The Telkonet SmartEnergy advanced occupancy-driven in-room energy management solution provides hospitality industry customers with discounted energy management and energy efficiency products and installation under the program.
The program’s implementation is expected to yield significant energy cost savings for the state's hospitality industry, reducing power consumption by millions of kilowatt-hours per year. “Lodging facilities are under constant pressure to provide additional amenities to attract customers to lodge with them, from building new waterparks to operating large conference centers,” commented Matthew Matenaer, Energy Advisor with Focus on Energy. “However, when it comes down to it, over 40% of a hotel's energy costs result from heating and cooling guest rooms. It's an important cost control area that can be maintained by using guest room energy management controls. Focus on Energy recognizes Telkonet SmartEnergy products as a viable option to help our hotel customers achieve their goals of controlling energy usage in guest rooms.”
An advanced energy management system, Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) provides an economic, green approach to controlling HVAC usage and improving energy efficiency. It incorporates a patented technology – Recovery Time™ – that performs constant real-time calculations to adjust and maintain a room’s temperature based on occupancy. The installation of Telkonet SmartEnergy devices yields dramatic energy savings – often averaging 30% on heating and cooling costs.
“We welcome the opportunity that Focus on Energy incentives bring our business and our customers in that they offer energy-saving devices to the state's hospitality industry at a discounted rate. In many of our other hospitality-related installations, hotel and motel owners and operators are often averaging 30% savings on heating and cooling costs,” added Jeff Sobieski, Executive Vice President for Energy Management at Telkonet. “These savings, however, can be even more dramatic depending upon the extremes of the exterior temperature and humidity, the construction of the building, and age and type of the heating and air-conditioning ventilation systems. Focus on Energy makes available a credible third party validator that understands our core belief in providing products that not only improve bottom-line profit performance for industry, while delivering significant benefits to society as a whole. We are truly excited to be involved in the fast growing energy conservation movement and look forward to further developing our program with Focus on Energy and the business community in Wisconsin.”

TKO is just lagging Shred...I tell you whatI am not impress with JT at all...I still think that TKO should of been better off if they hired a CEO who came from the outside...
This is good if it is just a straight up credit line at a set rate. I think we go back over $1 pretty soon. Around $.80 has been a good support level a couple of times.

Shred, I think everyone sold out except us three..lol..oh well..
No my cost is $2 and I have too much. I plan to just hold. I feel its a steal at this price but I need to sell something else to buy more and at this time I like the other stocks I own too much to sell.
Have you bought any cheap shares to average down? My cost is just over $1.
I am here and in. My cost is high so my plan to hold and hope that they get bought out or some big inst puts money in. I think this stock is worth much more than 83 cents.
We have had a bounce over $1 each time the price has gotten into this range. Might be time to plug in the cash register again. LAK where did everybody go? I heard talk of some private board or did they all give up and sell out?

With TKO it got strung out to about 3 years! Looks like we may be finally making some real progress now. Good gamble for new investors but sucks for those who have been waiting for 2 years.
Good question. I don't really know. I will send him a mail and ask. I will post the response.
Mickey,
What , generally, is Michael Murphy's timeframe for his "target" price? Is it 12 months, 18 months, eventually ?
Thanks.
Would that be the Michael Murphy report?
Yea, it fell 13% at the open the next day. They confirmed the sell when it was too late to do any thing about it. I have learned a little about chart reading from fooling around on their site but unless a stock trends for a good while their "alerts" don't help much. At least today is looking better.
Murphy update:
Telkonet (TKO) introduced a major new upgrade, the Series 5 Broadband-over-Power-Line box that handles data at 200 megabits per second instead of 14 megabits per second. That means it can handle streaming video, as in video surveillance cameras. The box has numerous new interfaces for various industrial standards, better security and runs on AC or DC power. Telkonet is targeting five huge markets:
* Government, initially upgrading current installations under the EDS contract;
* Retail, where one network box can control digital signage, point-of-sale functions, energy management, building automation, digital security and network connectivity;
* Security, where all the new applications, like universities, face huge bills for pulling cable capable of carrying signals from remote cameras;
* Hospitality, where TKO's 2,300 customer installations would love to add surveillance, video conference services and Internet Protocol TV;
* Energy management, working with utilities to lower their customer's energy usage. TKO just won a $3.8 million energy management contract for InTown Suites.
This is the second shoe to drop in the revitalization of TKO, with the first being the appointment of the new CEO. I'm sure these products were under development before he arrived, but the great thing about having a successful entrepreneur running this company full-time is that he will turn the technology into dollars. I am keeping TKO as a Top Buy, keeping what must seem like a ridiculously high buy limit of $5, and my even higher $15 target. Those numbers can be achieved with the new management and the new products.

Daily Commentary
Our system posted a WAIT today. The previous SELL recommendation was issued on 01.16.2008 (1) day ago, when the stock price was 0.9599. Since then TKO has fallen -13.53% .
Our WAIT tag says all that is to say. Stay at cash or check the other stocks while waiting the next signal. Do not bother with buying or short selling this stock as long as the WAIT tag stays.
Well that didn't last long. Sell confirmed yesterday after it fell to .95 You could not make money following their advice. The buy call was at .76 but they "confirmed the buy at the end of the day after the stock recovered to .85. Now they call a sell after yesterday's close but you couldn't get out today even for .85 To make a good trade you had to have the balls (and be watching )when it spiked into the .70's and then be smart enought to pull the trigger when it went over a dollar and then faded. AM Bull will mark up a sucessful trade but really it was Bull S! TKO is like the new Domino's Pizza commercial. Girl orders pizza and says "we have 30 minutes, what should we do?" Guy says "I have an idea"(sex) Girl says Ok what do we do with the other 28 minutes? LOLOL The fun doesn't last long here at tko either.......
No , I have had to get out the door so quick the last 2 mornings I forgot all about it. Would you mind forwarding that to my work e-mail I gave you. I can't look at that account from here. Thanks Shred
Looking good. I plan to hold this long term.
AM BULL went to a buy rating on the 10th and continues to maintain holding that position for now. Todays action looks to bolster that opinion.
OT--Shred, did you get a chance to call Larry up from ViziTrade?
Man I might get back to Break Even if this keep moving up. COME ON TKO you POS! I'm glad they waited till Ron was gone to PR these last few developements.

PLC Product Components
Telkonet’s systems comprise a set of compact building blocks – the Telkonet Gateway, which connects via a router to the site’s external broadband feed, and a Telkonet Coupler that interfaces with a building’s electrical distribution panel. A further unit, the Telkonet eXtender™, can be connected to the Telkonet Coupler to provide additional reach for multi-building sites. To access the Internet, a user simply connects their laptop into a Telkonet iBridge unit.
Telkonet Gateway™ | The "brain" of the system, the Telkonet Gateway converts IP connections to a PLC signal and distributes PLC to the Telkonet Coupler. Through a web or CLI interface, the Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the other Telkonet components. Each Telkonet Gateway supports up to 63 Telkonet eXtenders, 1,023 Telkonet iBridges (users) and up to 4,096 Ethernet endpoints. | |
Telkonet Couplers | The Telkonet Coupler takes the PLC signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects that signal into the in-building electrical wiring. Installation of the Telkonet Coupler requires a licensed electrician to meet National Electric Code (NEC) and local electric code standards. Also comes in a model with integrated disconnect switch. | |
Telkonet eXtender™ | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional reach and scalability for networks that cannot be properly covered by a single Telkonet Gateway or multi-building environments. It can be used with wireless radio or wireline networks. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ | The Telkonet iBridge enables a user to connect a computer or IP device to the PLC network. It contains a "test" function to determine the PLC signal strength and has an RJ45 user port connection. |
Telkonet Series 5
Setting unprecedented performance levels for security, speed, QoS and capacity, the Telkonet Series 5 200 Mbps system takes PLC to a new level as a viable networking option for high performance, critical applications, including digital video surveillance, implementations in the utility substation environment, and harsh outdoor commercial installations. Telkonet Series 5 delivers a range of significant performance advances, including the following.

The Telkonet Gateway allows management and configuration of the Telkonet Series 5 via a web browser or Telnet command line interface. | |
Telkonet Couplers – MVC-200 and DPC-200 | The Telkonet Coupler is wired to the AC or DC low-voltage bus and connected to the Telkonet Gateway with a coaxial cable. The Telkonet Coupler takes the power line carrier signal from the Telkonet Gateway or Telkonet eXtender and injects the signal into the AC or DC electrical wiring. The Telkonet Coupler is also available with an integrated disconnect switch (coupler breaker). | |
Telkonet eXtender™ – AX5 | The Telkonet eXtender provides additional power line carrier signal reach and scalability for networks that cannot be covered by a single Telkonet Gateway. | |
Telkonet iBridge™ – AB5 | The Telkonet iBridge is wired to the AC or DC supply at each point requiring a communications interface. The Telkonet iBridge recovers the power line carrier signal and converts it back into an Ethernet or serial connection for the devices or applications. It contains a test function to determine the power line carrier signal strength. |
