The team has executed on these goals and put the company in a position for global leadership."

• Fiscal 2018 product gross margin increase of approximately 400 per cent from 3.1 per cent to 12.3 per cent;

• Approved for both the South Australia home battery scheme and the Australian government's Clean Energy Finance Corp. home battery financing, providing direct access to $200-million in subsidies and low interest loans for residential battery storage;
• Entered into a loan agreement for general working capital for up to $3-million (U.S.) with Silicon Valley-based Western Technology Investment;
• Entered into a loan agreement for general working capital of $1.3-million with its largest shareholder, DHCT II Luxembourg SARL.

Outlook for 2019:

• Transition to contract manufacturing to manage global demand and increase gross margins;
• Participation in Australian utility virtual power plant programs;
• Continued expansion of sales, technical sales and marketing teams in key markets;
• Development and certification of European and Australian Elevate product solutions.

With the launch of fully integrated and factory-assembled Evolve, Elevate and Enduro product lines, Eguana executed its transition to its global distribution model, completing numerous partnership agreements covering all key target markets. Early results from the company's expanded distribution network have resulted in an additional over $6-million in new orders, which have been planned to ship in the first half of fiscal 2019.

"Fiscal 2018 revenue approached $4-million, an increase of approximately 450 per cent over fiscal 2017 while nearly tripling product gross margins. Additional new orders have topped $6-million, which has provided the company with validation on our transition to the distributor and solar dealer direct model," Mr. Holland commented. "With key partners in place, and significant growth forecasted in the Australian, United States and European energy storage markets, we expect to see our revenue numbers continue to grow rapidly."

The company intends to continue building the Eguana brand by expanding its sales and marketing teams in all key markets throughout 2019, along with a transition to contract manufacturing to manage growth and the required production ramp-up.

"Since launching the Evolve, Elevate and Enduro product solutions, we have focused on building a world-class sales team along with Web-based product training and installation programs to ensure the best installer and customer experience in the market. Contract manufacturing transition is planned over the next two quarters, which will allow the company to continue to scale and meet global demand," Mr. Holland added.
