Energy Recovery's Year in Review: 2012
10 Reasons Why Energy Recovery Matters - From Recapturing $1.2 Billion in Energy
Savings and Building for Future Growth to Leaping into the Oil & Gas Industry
with a New Brand
SAN LEANDRO, Calif., January 31, 2013-Energy Recovery Inc. (NASDAQ: ERII), the
leader in harnessing reusable energy from industrial fluid flows and pressure
cycles, examines the Company's most significant milestones in 2012. The original
goals to improve operational efficiency, solidify the core business and make
inroads into new markets such as Oil & Gas were all recognized during a
transitional year. Here's the list of major milestones:
1. Realized Strong Revenue Growth in a Challenging Economic Environment.
While the global economy is still undergoing recovery from the 2008 financial
crisis, we were able to persevere and prosper during challenging times, and we
increased revenue by a meaningful percentage when compared to 2011.
2. Invested More Money Than Ever in Research and Development.
Since 2008, we've been looking inwards, researching new markets and developing
new technologies to service those markets. In the past year we invested
approximately $5 Million in R&D, allowing us to further advance our industry-
leading technologies, expand our reach into the Oil & Gas sector, and design
smarter solutions for our customers.
3. Transformed Our Brand's Look and Feel.
With the turning of the New Year, we presented our new updated brand to our
customers and shareholders. The rebrand communicates the new activities on the
horizon and our purpose for the future: to transform the world's untapped energy
into reusable energy. While our look has changed, our promise remains the same:
making industrial processes environmentally cleaner and more profitable by
transforming all fluid flows into reusable energy.
4. Blazed New Trails into the Oil & Gas Sector.
Following two years of strategic analysis of our successes as the premium brand
in desalination, we made our boldest move ever and realized our vision for
fulfilling the growing, worldwide demand for energy-saving technologies. Our
latest products and solutions now span the water and Oil & Gas markets, making
it possible to harness energy from almost any high-pressure fluid flow. In
2012, we secured three Oil & Gas partnerships with energy giants in the Middle
East, Asia and the United States.
5. Won the World's Seven Largest Desalination Projects.
In 2012, Energy Recovery was awarded the seven largest mega-projects worldwide,
for which almost all revenue was recognized in 2012. These projects all used
our award-winning PX technology. While we won numerous projects on a global
scale, most of these projects were in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa)
region, signaling an upward trend in capital spending for new desalination
plants.
6. Improved Operational Efficiency Considerably.
In addition to the highly trained and professional service and sales teams we
maintain around the world, Energy Recovery focused on delivering operational
excellence to match its sales and service capabilities. 2012 marked a
significant manufacturing milestone as we integrated all production operations
at our corporate headquarters in California, while closing our plant in
Michigan. This increased our capacity to enhance and test our solutions as well
as develop and incubate innovative energy recovery technologies.
7. Raised the Bar with Our Most Advanced Energy Recovery Technology to Date.
Our greatest technological advancement, the PX-Q Series, gained widespread
adoption this past year. With the highest guaranteed efficiencies, 25 year-
lifetime design, and quietest operations, this technology has become the new
"gold standard" in energy recovery.
8. Brought the Largest Desalination Plant to Full Operating Capacity.
The Wonthaggi Desalination Plant in Melbourne, Australia began operating at full
capacity in 2012, totaling 450,000 cubic meters produced per day of fresh water.
The plant is currently the largest seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant
in the southern hemisphere.
9. Increased Shipments of Our Energy Recovery Devices Worldwide.
Given the increase in projects awarded, more energy recovery devices are now in
operation than ever before. From Algeria to Australia and beyond, 14,000 PX
energy recovery devices are currently deployed or under contract to be installed
at desalination plants around the globe.
10. Helped Save Our Clients Enough Energy to Power a Small Country.
In the last twelve months, we saved 12 billion kilowatt hours of energy for our
clients-that's enough energy to power a country the size of Jordan. In 2012,
this translated to $1.2 billion in energy savings-a 20% increase from the $1
billion saved in 2011.
"2012 was a formative year in repositioning our company for the future. We are
very proud of what we have accomplished with the help of forward-thinking
customers and the hard work and passion of our teams working tirelessly to
develop the most innovative energy recovery solutions on the market today,"
stated Tom Rooney, CEO of Energy Recovery. "We also recognize that our work is
not yet complete. We will work as hard as ever to ensure that we meet our
overall strategic goals for growth and profitability," continued Mr. Rooney.
These critical accomplishments mean that Energy Recovery realized the strategic
imperatives of 2012- moving the company in the right direction and creating a
dramatic shift in the Company's future outlook for 2013 and beyond. We are now
poised for even greater success, with planned forays into new markets and
continued technology development.
