• Reported 2013 Revenues of US$26.1 Million for FY 2013, an Increase of 480 percent.

• Gross Margin at 38 percent for 2013 .

• 2014 Pro Forma Revenue to be in the $110 Million Range with Organic Revenue Growth of Over 40 percent.

"We built a solid foundation and executed on our business strategy in 2013," said Robert LaPenta, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Revolution Lighting Technologies. "We increased revenues, significantly improved our gross margin and made several strategic acquisitions to broaden our product portfolio, expand our distribution network, and strengthen our engineering and management teams."

LaPenta continued: "We are extremely excited about our recently announced acquisition of Value Lighting Inc., which will allow us to penetrate new markets, including the multifamily residential housing sector where demand for our products continues to grow.

Quarter Ended December 31, 2013

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, total revenue was approximately US$ 7.1 million, as compared to US$ 1.0 million in the same period of 2012, an increase of approximately 610 percent. Gross profit for the quarter was approximately US$ 2.3 million, as compared to US$ 0.15 million during the same period in 2012. Gross margin was 33 percent as compared to 15 percent for the same period in 2012.

Revenue and gross margin includes the impact of strong organic growth of the businesses we acquired in 2012 and 2013. On a pro forma basis, giving effect to the acquisitions of Seesmart, Relume and Tri-State businesses, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012, consolidated revenues for the quarter increased by 47 percent to US$ 7.6 million. The results reflect the shift in focus away from the lower ticket and lower margin consumer retail market to the rapidly growing commercial, industrial and municipal (municipal, university, schools and healthcare) segments, which we believe offer higher margin opportunities.

The Company reported an operating loss of US$ 3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to US$ 1.4 million in the same period of 2012. Operating results for the fourth quarter of 2013 were negatively impacted by one-time and non-cash charges of US$ 0.9 million, including expenses related to acquisitions, the amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions and stock-based compensation. Negative Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the fourth quarter of 2013 was approximately US$ 2.4 million excluding the aforementioned charges.

The Company reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 of approximately US$ 3.3 million as compared to a net loss of US$ 1.4 million for the same period in 2012. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 includes the aforementioned one-time and non-cash charges.

Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders were US$ 0.05 and US$ 0.04, respectively, for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Weighted basic and diluted shares outstanding were 80.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and 38.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The per share amounts reflect accrual of dividends on preferred stock and the accretion to redemption value of the Series E and F preferred stock.
