ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We design, manufacture, sell and support power conversion products that transform power into
various usable forms. Our products enable manufacturing processes that use thin-film processing and
etching for various products, such as semiconductor devices, flat panel displays, solar panels and
architectural glass. We also supply thermal instrumentation products for advanced temperature
control in the thin-film process for these same markets. Our solar inverter products support
renewable power generation solutions for residential, commercial and utility-scale solar projects
and installations. Our network of global service support centers offer repair services,
conversions, upgrades and refurbishments to companies using our products. We also offer a wide
variety of operations and maintenance service plans that can be tailored for individual
photovoltaic (PV) sites of all sizes.
We are organized into two strategic business units (SBU) based on the products and services
provided.
Thin Films Processing Power Conversion and Thermal Instrumentation (Thin Films)
SBU offers our products for direct current (DC), pulsed DC mid frequency, and radio
frequency (RF) power supplies, matching networks and RF instrumentation as well as thermal
instrumentation products.
Renewable Power Inverters (Renewables) SBU offers both a transformer-based or
transformerless advanced grid-tie PV solution for residential, commercial and utility-scale
system installations. Our PV inverters are designed to convert renewable solar power, drawn
from large and small scale solar arrays, into high-quality, reliable electrical power.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
and its wholly owned subsidiaries (we, us, our, Advanced Energy, or the Company) at June
30, 2011, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010 and other financial information filed with the SEC.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. We believe that the significant estimates, assumptions and
judgments when accounting for items and matters such as allowances for doubtful accounts, excess
and obsolete inventory, warranty reserves, acquisitions, asset valuations, asset life,
depreciation, amortization, recoverability of assets, impairments, deferred revenue, stock option
and restricted stock grants, taxes, and other provisions are reasonable, based upon information
available at the time they are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards
Update. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether
adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION
Acquisition
On May 3, 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of PV Powered, Inc. (PV
Powered), a privately-held Oregon corporation based in Bend, Oregon, for approximately $90.3
million consisting of 1.0 million shares of our common stock with a market value of approximately
$14.7 million and cash payments totaling $75.6 million, net of cash acquired.
PV Powered is a leading manufacturer of grid-tied PV inverters in the residential, commercial
and utility-scale markets. PV Powered manufactures high-reliability transformer-based PV inverters
utilized in residential, commercial roof top and ground mount systems for the North American
market. Its inverters range in size from 30 kilowatts (kW) to two megawatts for the commercial
market and 1kW to 5kW for the residential market, with market leading efficiency ratings. PV
Powered is included in our Renewables business unit.
We recorded the acquisition of PV Powered using the acquisition method of accounting and the
purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities acquired
based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price
(consideration transferred) over the respective fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities
acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not tax
deductible. Our purchase price allocation is final as of June 30, 2011.

acquisition are as follows (in thousands):

Disposition
On October 15, 2010, we completed the sale of our gas flow control business, which includes
our Aera® mass flow control and related product lines, to Hitachi Metals, Ltd. for approximately
$43.3 million.
In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance for reporting discontinued operations,
the revenues and costs associated with our gas flow control business are excluded from income from
continuing operations and are presented as income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in
our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to the benefit
of earnings in foreign jurisdictions which are subject to lower tax rates. We plan to repatriate
approximately $30.0 million from Japan during 2011, for which a deferred income tax expense of $2.1
million was recorded in 2010. Other than this planned repatriation, undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested and accordingly, no provision for
U.S. federal and state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes has been made.
Our policy is to classify accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits
in our income tax provision. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the
amount of interest and penalties accrued related to our unrecognized tax benefits was immaterial.
NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the numerator is
increased to exclude charges which would not have been incurred, and the denominator is increased
to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding (using the
if-converted and treasury stock methods), if securities containing potentially dilutive common
shares (stock options and restricted stock units) had been converted to common shares, and if such
assumed conversion is dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of our weighted-average shares outstanding used in the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except per share data):

The value and liquidity of our marketable securities are affected by market conditions,
the ability of the issuer to make principal and interest payments when due, and the functioning of
the markets in which these securities are traded. Our current investments in marketable securities
are expected to be liquidated during the next 18 months.
As of June 30, 2011, we do not believe any of the underlying issuers of our marketable
securities are presently at risk of default.
NOTE 6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We manage these risks through
the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward contracts. During the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2011, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to
manage the exchange rate risk associated with intercompany debt denominated in nonfunctional
currency. This derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge; however, it does offset the
fluctuations of our intercompany debt due to foreign exchange rate changes.
The notional amount of foreign currency exchange contracts was $14.5 million at June 30, 2011.
The fair value of these contracts was immaterial at June 30, 2011. During the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $0.1 million of losses on our foreign currency exchange
contracts. These losses were offset by corresponding gains on the related intercompany debt and
both are included as a component of other income, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
We did not enter into foreign currency forward contracts during 2010.

We did not have any Level 3 investments or financial liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, we
reclassified our investments in certificates of deposits from Level 1 into Level 2 as we believe
this more appropriately reflects the level of inputs available for valuing these financial
instruments. There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, 2 or 3 fair value measurements during
the six months ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 10. GOODWILL
During the three months ended June 30, 2011 we finalized the PV Powered purchase price
allocation. As a result, we increased our estimate of the value of PV Powereds pre-acquisition net
operating losses and recorded a $1.8 million increase to our noncurrent deferred income tax assets
and reduced goodwill accordingly.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in disputes and legal actions from time to time in the ordinary course of our
business.
We have firm purchase commitments and agreements with various suppliers to ensure the
availability of components. Our policy with respect to all purchase commitments is to record
losses, if any, when they are probable and reasonably estimable. We believe we have an adequate
provision for potential exposure related to inventory on order which may go unused.
NOTE 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we began to operate as two reportable business
segments. The creation of two business units, Thin Films and Renewables, has improved our execution
and strategic focus in two distinct markets. The re-alignment of our businesses reflects the
success of our strategy to maintain our leadership in thin-film markets, while also expanding into
high-growth renewable markets with our inverter product portfolio. The creation of these two units
will enable greater focus on each business unique needs and requirements, allowing each to expand
and accelerate growth by better serving each of these very different industries.
16
Our chief operating decision maker and management personnel began reviewing our performance
and making resource allocation decisions by reviewing the results of our two business segments
separately. Revenue and operating profit is now reviewed by our chief operating decision maker,
however, we have only divided inventory and property and
equipment based on business segment. Due to the structure of our internal organization and the
manner in which expenses were tracked and managed and as a result of the design of our internal
systems during fiscal 2010, we were unable to recast related financial information by operating
segment for fiscal 2010 and prior. As such, segment information, other than revenue, for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2010 is not reported as it is impracticable to do so.
We are organized into the Thin Films and Renewables strategic business units (SBU) based on
the products and services provided.
Thin Films Processing Power Conversion and Thermal Instrumentation (Thin Films)
SBU offers our products for direct current (DC), pulsed DC mid frequency, and radio
frequency (RF) power supplies, matching networks and RF instrumentation as well as thermal
instrumentation products. Our Thin Films SBU principally serves original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) and end customers in the semiconductor, flat panel display, solar
module and other capital equipment markets.
|
|
|
Our power conversion systems refine, modify and control the raw electrical power
from a utility and convert it into power that may be customized and is predictable
and repeatable. Our power conversion systems are primarily used by semiconductor,
solar panel and similar thin-film manufacturers including flat panel display, data
storage and architectural glass manufacturers. |
|
|
|
Our thermal instrumentation products provide temperature measurement solutions
for applications in which time-temperature cycles affect material properties,
productivity and yield. These products are used in rapid thermal processing,
chemical vapor deposition, and other semiconductor and solar applications requiring
non-contact temperature measurement. |
|
|
|
Our network of global service support centers offer repair services,
conversions, upgrades and refurbishments to companies using our products. |
Renewable Power Inverters (Renewables) SBU offers both a transformer-based or
transformerless advanced grid-tie PV solution for residential, commercial and utility-scale
system installations. Our PV inverters are designed to convert renewable solar power, drawn
from large and small scale solar arrays, into high-quality, reliable electrical power. Our
Renewables SBU focuses on residential, commercial and utility-scale solar projects and
installations, selling primarily to distributors; engineering, procurement, and construction
contractors; developers; and utility companies. Our Renewables revenue has
seasonal variations. Installations of inverters are normally lowest during the first quarter
as a result of typically poor weather and installation tendencies.
Revenue with respect to operating segments for the three months and six months ending June 30,
2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements in this report that are not
historical information are forward-looking statements. For example, statements relating to our
beliefs, expectations and plans are forward-looking statements, as are statements that certain
actions, conditions or circumstances will continue. The inclusion of words such as anticipate,
expect, estimate, can, may, continue, enables, plan, intend, or believe, as well
as statements that events or circumstances will occur or continue, indicate forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results could differ materially
and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
For additional information regarding factors that may affect our actual financial condition,
results of operations and accuracy of our forward-looking statements, see the information under the
caption Risk Factors in Part II Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. We undertake no obligation to revise or
update any forward-looking statements for any reason.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We design, manufacture, sell and support power conversion products that transform power into
various usable forms. Our products enable manufacturing processes that use thin-film processing and
etching for various products as well as grid-tie power conversion. We also supply thermal
instrumentation products used for temperature control in the thin-film process. Our network of
global service support centers provides local repair and field service capability in key regions.
|
|
|
Our power conversion products refine, modify and control the raw electrical power
from a utility and converts it into power that is predictable, repeatable and
customizable. Our power conversion products are primarily used by semiconductor, solar
panel and similar thin-film manufacturers including flat panel display, data storage
and architectural glass manufacturers. |
|
|
|
Our thermal instrumentation products provide temperature measurement solutions for
applications in which time-temperature cycles affect material properties, productivity
and yield. These products are used in rapid thermal processing, chemical vapor
deposition, and other semiconductor and solar applications requiring non-contact
temperature measurement. |
|
|
|
Our network of global service support centers offer repair services, conversions,
upgrades and refurbishments to businesses that use our products. |
|
|
|
Our grid-tie power conversion products offer both an advanced transformer-based or
transformerless grid-tie PV solutions for residential, commercial and utility-scale
system installations. Our PV inverters are designed to convert renewable solar power,
drawn from large and small scale solar arrays, into high-quality, reliable electrical
power. These products are used for residential, commercial and utility-scale solar
projects and installations, and are sold primarily to distributors; engineering,
procurement, and construction contractors; developers; and utility companies. These
product revenues have seasonal variations. Installations of inverters are normally
lowest during the first quarter of the year due to less favorable weather conditions
and installation tendencies by our customers. |
On May 3, 2010, we acquired PV Powered, Inc. (PV Powered), a privately-held Oregon
corporation based in Bend, Oregon. PV Powered is a leading manufacturer of grid-tie PV inverters in
the residential, commercial and utility-scale markets. We now provide our customers with solutions
in a wider power range and an increased number of solar array opportunities where our products can
be utilized.
On October 15, 2010, we sold our gas flow control business, which includes the Aera® mass flow
control and related product lines, to Hitachi Metals, Ltd. Accordingly, the results of operations
from our gas flow control business have been excluded from our discussions relating to continuing
operations.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we began to operate as two reportable business
segments. The creation of two business units, Thin Films and Renewables, has improved our
execution and strategic focus in two distinct markets. This re-alignment of our businesses reflects
the success of our strategy to maintain our leadership in thin-film markets, while also expanding
into high-growth renewable markets with our inverter product portfolio. The creation of these two
units will enable greater focus on each business unique needs and requirements, allowing each to
expand and accelerate growth by better serving each of these very different industries.

Due to the structure of our internal organization and the manner in which expenses were
tracked and managed and, as a result of the design of our internal reporting systems during fiscal
2010, we were unable to recast related financial information by operating segment for fiscal 2010
and prior. As such, segment information, other than revenue, for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2010 is not reported as it is impracticable to do so.
Our analysis presented below is organized to provide the information we believe will be
instructive for understanding our historical performance and relevant trends going forward. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in
Part I, Item 1 of this report, including the notes thereto.

Overall, our sales increased $38.0 million, or 38.0%, to $138.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 from $100.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales
increased $106.0 million, or 62.4%, to $275.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from
$169.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The increase in sales was driven by our renewable business as well as our non-semiconductor
markets, particularly, increased demand for products in the flat panel display and solar PV
markets. These increases, along with strong sales in our semiconductor market, were driven by a
continuation of the consistent consumer spending we have experienced since early 2010. Although
factories continue to operate at high utilization rates, we may experience decreases in sales in
future periods as factories begin to accumulate more inventory than the consumer markets can
consume. In addition, our revenue in the period from January 1, 2010 to May 3, 2010 did not include
Renewables revenue from PV Powered, which we acquired on May 3, 2010. Overall demand for our
renewable product lines has increased in proportion with an increase in activity in the North
American solar market, however, sales growth of our renewable products was below expectations in
the second quarter. Declining solar panel prices and changes in solar energy incentives resulted in
customers postponing projects to the second half of 2011 in order to take advantage of these lower
prices.

Thin Films sales climbed 13.6% to $97.3 million, or 70.5% of sales, for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 versus $85.7 million, or 85.6% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Thin Films sales climbed 28.9% to $197.4 million, or 71.6% of sales, for the six months ended June
30, 2011 versus $153.1 million, or 90.2% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This
growth reflects consistent demand in the semiconductor industry for the first half of the year as
well as increased demand in our non-semiconductor markets, such as flat panel display and solar
panels.

In the three months ended June 30, 2011, sales in the thin-film semiconductor market decreased
0.5% to $43.7 million, or 31.6% of sales, from $43.9 million, or 43.8% of sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2010. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, sales in the thin-film
semiconductor market rose 5.7% to $89.6 million, or 32.5% of sales, from $84.8 million, or 50.0% of
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The semiconductor capital equipment market grew
throughout 2010 as technology investments drove a rebuilding of inventory to satisfy the consumer
electronics market. For the first half of the year, we saw continued strength in the semiconductor
markets across all regions which included significant investments for high-brightness LED and 3D
integrated circuits. In the near term we believe that demand in the
semiconductor capital equipment industry may decrease as
semiconductor fabricators slow down their investments in both technology and expansions. As a result, our revenue in this market
is expected to be down the second half of 2011 as compared to the first half of the year.
Sales in the thin-film non-semiconductor capital equipment markets increased 30.1% to $40.5
million, or 29.4% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $31.1 million, or
31.1% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales in the thin-film non-semiconductor
capital equipment markets increased 73.3% to $81.0 million, or 29.4% of sales, for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to $46.7 million, or 27.5% of sales, for the six months ended June 30,
2010. The markets that comprise the thin-film non-semiconductor capital equipment markets include
solar panel, flat panel display, data storage, architectural glass and other industrial thin-film
manufacturing equipment markets. Our customers in these markets are global OEMs. The increase in
our Thin Films non-semiconductor sales was due to capacity expansion throughout 2010 and into 2011
in the flat panel display and solar panel markets.
Sales to customers in the thin-film solar panel market, which is included as a component of
our non-semiconductor capital equipment markets, increased to $15.8 million, or 11.4% of total
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $12.8 million, or 12.8% of total
sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales to customers in the thin-film solar panel
market increased to $36.1 million, or 13.1% of total sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2011
as compared to $16.7 million, or 9.8% of total sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our
solar panel growth in the first half of 2011 was driven by our technology leadership in crystalline
silicon (c-Si) processing equipment and strategic customer relationships that helped us
capitalize on growth in the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC). Sales in this market are
expected to decline in the second half of 2011 as uncertainty in the financial policy related to
solar panel manufacturing in the PRC as well as an overcapacity of solar panels worldwide may slow
investment and have a negative impact on demand for our products.
In the flat panel display market, also included as a component of our non-semiconductor
capital equipment markets, we saw a cycle of investing by flat panel display manufacturers in Korea
and the PRC in 2010 and in the first half of 2011 that was driven by the market adoption of flat
panels by PRC consumers, the growth in touch screens for tablet PCs and smart phones and the
migration of new technology such as LED backlighting and 3D televisions around the world. During
the current quarter, sales in the flat panel display market increased significantly as compared to
the first quarter of 2011 due to capacity additions for active matrix organic LED technologies made
by Korean OEMs. We anticipate growth in this market slowing in the second half of the year as the
timing of investments made in next generation technologies appears to be pushing into 2012 and
beyond.
Our global support revenue grew 23.1% to $13.1 million, or 9.5% of total sales, for the three
months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $10.7 million, representing 10.7% of sales, for the three
months ended June 30, 2010. Our global support revenue grew 24.3% to $26.8 million, or 9.7% of
total sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $21.6 million, representing 12.7%
of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in our global support sales was due
to an increase in factory utilization by our customers throughout 2010 and into the first half of
2011, which drove demand for repairs, replacement parts and inventory restocking. Although the
outlook for our service business continues to be strong, as we expand our product offerings to
include maintenance contracts in the growing solar array market, we may see a slight pause of
growth in the near term due to the risk of end users more tightly managing maintenance budgets to
deal with an anticipated drop in factory utilization.

Renewables sales were $40.8 million, or 29.5% of sales, for the three months ended June
30, 2011 as compared to $14.4 million, or 14.4% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Renewables sales were $78.4 million, or 28.4% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as
compared to $16.7 million, or 9.8% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
This significant year-over-year growth reflects our acquisition of PV Powered, whose products
continue to penetrate the U.S. market for both commercial and residential applications, as well as
the continued growth of the North American solar market. Sales for the current quarter were up
slightly from the first quarter of 2011 due to an increase in sales in Europe, however, sales still
remained lower as compared to levels achieved in the fourth quarter of 2010. We experienced
unexpected push-outs of business from the current quarter into future periods as the renewable
market responded to uncertainty around solar energy incentives and dropping prices for solar
panels. Although we expect lower solar panel prices to ultimately fuel growth of solar array
installations, an uncertainty as to how low prices may fall has caused a temporary delay in the
procurement of equipment needed for projects. We anticipate an increase in Renewables sales during
the third quarter of 2011 as solar panel prices stabilize and project activity resumes to normal.
Backlog
Our overall backlog was $102.9 million at June 30, 2011 as compared to $139.4 million at March
31, 2011 and $93.1 million at December 31, 2010. The quarter decrease was primarily driven by the
uncertainty in solar panel prices and the delays in projects described above.
GROSS PROFIT
Our
gross profit was $55.4 million, or 40.0% of sales, for the three months ended June 30,
2011, as compared to $44.6 million, or 44.5% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our
gross profit was $117.4 million, or 42.6% of sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as
compared to $73.8 million, or 43.4% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The
year-over-year increase in terms of absolute dollars was due to an overall boost in production and
sales volume in 2011 as compared to 2010, our acquisition of PV Powered and increased leverage of
factory overhead, as well as reduced warranty costs resulting from improved quality and lower
warranty claims.
The decrease in gross profit in terms of percent of sales was caused by an overall product mix
shift to include a higher percentage of revenue from our Renewables product line, which
traditionally has lower gross margins. In addition to the anticipated decline in gross margin
percentage due to overall product mix, we saw a decline in our Renewables business gross margins as
competitive pricing pressure drove down the average selling price for
our inverters. We expect our
gross margin to increase in absolute dollars over the course of 2011 as total sales increase;
however it may be flat or slightly down as a percentage of sales as our product mix shifts to
include a higher percentage of revenue from our Renewables product line.

Research and Development
The markets we serve constantly present us with opportunities to develop our products for new
or emerging applications and require technological changes to achieve higher performance, lower
cost and provide other attributes that will advance our customers products. We believe that
continued and timely development of new and differentiated products, as well as enhancements to
existing products to support customer requirements, is critical for us to compete in the markets we
serve. Accordingly, we devote significant personnel and financial resources to the development of
new products and the enhancement of existing products, and we expect these investments to continue.
All of our research and development costs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010 have been expensed as incurred.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $17.1 million,
or 12.4% of sales, as compared to $13.5 million, or 13.5% of sales, for the three months ended June
30, 2010. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $33.0
million, or 12.0% of sales, as compared to $24.7 million, or 14.5% of sales, for the six months
ended June 30, 2010.
The increase in research and development expenses of $3.6 million, or 26.8%, in the three
months June 30, 2011 and $8.3 million, or 33.8%, in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared
to the same period in 2010 was driven primarily by increases in personnel costs, materials and
supplies and outside consulting services. We continue to focus on new product development,
specifically related to the expansion of our inverter product line globally and, although we have
always maintained a very cautious approach to our discretionary spending, we anticipate that
research and development expenses will increase in 2011 in terms of absolute dollars but remain
within their current range as a percentage of sales.
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling expenses support domestic and international sales and marketing activities that
include personnel, trade shows, advertising, third-party sales representative commissions and other
selling and marketing activities. Our general and administrative expenses support our worldwide
corporate, legal, tax, financial, governance, administrative, information systems and human
resource functions in addition to our general management.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011
were $20.0 million, or 14.5% of sales, as compared to $17.2 million, or 17.1% of sales, in the
three months ended June 30, 2010. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $40.9
million, or 14.8% of sales, as compared to $29.4 million, or 17.3% of sales, in the six months
ended June 30, 2010.
The increase in SG&A expenses of $2.8 million, or 16.4%, in the three months ended June 30,
2011 and $11.5 million, or 39.1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same
periods in 2010 was driven primarily by increases in personnel costs and travel to meet the
expectations and demands of our global customers. We anticipate that SG&A expenses will continue to
increase in 2011 in terms of absolute dollars and will remain within their current range as a

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangibles was $0.9 million, or 0.6% of sales, for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 as compared to $0.8 million, or 0.8% of sales, in the three months ended June 30,
2010. Amortization of intangibles was $1.8 million, or 0.7% of sales, for the six months ended June
30, 2011 as compared to $0.8 million, or 0.5% of sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The
increase in amortization was the result of amortization of PV Powered intangible assets acquired in
May 2010.
OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income, net, consists primarily of investment income and foreign currency exchange gains
and losses. Other income, net, was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as
compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Other income, net, was $0.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $0.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010. Although we are subject to exchange rate fluctuations due to the nature of our
international operations, we are mitigating the risk of large swings with the use of derivative
instruments and anticipate future gains and losses to be immaterial to our financial position and
results of operations.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months ended June
30, 2011 of $3.9 million, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010,
resulting in effective tax rates of 22.4% and 13.9%, respectively. We recorded an income tax
provision from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $10.2 million,
compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in effective tax rates
of 23.9% and 16.5%, respectively. Our effective tax rate may vary from period to period due to
changes in the composition of income between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions resulting from our
activity. Our effective rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the
benefit of earnings in foreign jurisdictions which are subject to lower tax rates.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On October 15, 2010, we completed the sale of our gas flow control business, which includes
the Aera® mass flow control and related product lines to Hitachi Metals, Ltd., for $43.3 million.
Assets and liabilities sold include, without limitation, inventory, real property in Hachioji,
Japan, equipment, certain contracts, intellectual property rights related to the gas flow control
business and certain warranty liability obligations. The results of continuing operations were
reduced by the revenue and costs associated with the gas flow control business and are included in
the results from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in our Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our ability to fund our operations, acquisitions, capital expenditures and product development
efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to
future operating performance as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative,
regulatory and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. Our primary sources of
liquidity are our available cash, marketable securities and cash generated from current operations.

Our cash flows from discontinued operations are not reported separately in our Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as it would be impractical to quantify cash flows from our
gas flow control business. We do not expect the absence of cash flows applicable to our
discontinued operations to have a significant impact on our future liquidity and capital resources.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $17.4 million to $13.5 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to net cash flows used by operating activities of
$3.9 million for the same period of 2010. This increase was driven by our increase in net income,
the collection of accounts receivable on increased sales and was offset by the payment of bonuses
accrued at December 31, 2010 and the payment of accounts payable during six months ended June 30,
2011.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $2.6 million to $9.1 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6.5 million used in the same period of 2010.
The increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily the result of increased
purchases of property and equipment to sustain our engineering and new product development efforts
and to increase production capacity for solar inverters. Investments in marketable securities used
$0.4 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to providing $32.4 million
of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2010 which we used to fund our $36.0 million cash outlay
for the acquisition of PV Powered on May 3, 2010.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $0.9 million to $1.2 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.3 million during the same period in 2010 as a result
of the exercise of stock options.
Effect of currency translation on cash changed $5.2 million to negative $1.0 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to negative $6.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010. The functional currencies of our worldwide operations primarily include U.S. dollar
(USD), Japanese Yen (JPY), Chinese Yuan (CNY), New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), South Korean Won
(KWN), British Pound (GBP) and Euro (EUR). Our purchasing and sales activities are primarily
denominated in USD, JPY, CNY and EUR. The change in these key currency rates during the six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

As of June 30, 2011, we have $145.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities of which $49.4 million was held in banks outside the United States. We believe that our
current cash levels and cash flows from future operations will be adequate to meet anticipated
working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for the next 12 months.
During the second half of 2011 we plan to repatriate $30.0 million of cash held in Japan as the
remaining cash held in that country is sufficient to fund local operations. The repatriated cash
will be used to fund working capital and capital investments in the United States.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance-sheet arrangements or variable interest entities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010
describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our
Consolidated Financial Statements. Our critical accounting estimates, discussed in the Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, include estimates for allowances
for doubtful accounts, determining useful lives for depreciation and amortization, the valuation of
assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, assessing the need for impairment charges
for identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, establishing warranty reserves, accounting for
income taxes, and assessing excess and obsolete inventory. Such accounting policies and estimates
require significant judgments and assumptions to be used in the preparation of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and actual results could differ materially from the amounts
reported based on variability in factors affecting these estimates.
26
Our management discusses the development and selection of our critical accounting
policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors at least annually. Our
management also internally discusses the adoption of new accounting policies or changes to existing
policies at interim dates, as it deems necessary or appropriate.

ITEM 3. |

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
Our market risk exposure relates to changes in interest rates in our investment portfolio. We
generally place our investments with high-credit quality issuers and, by policy, are averse to
principal loss and seek to protect and preserve our invested funds by limiting default risk, market
risk and reinvestment risk. As of June 30, 2011, our investments consisted primarily of commercial
paper, certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, and agency bonds.
As a measurement of the sensitivity of our portfolio and assuming that our investment
portfolio balances were to remain constant, a hypothetical decrease of 100 basis points in interest
rates would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by approximately $0.1 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are impacted by changes in foreign currency rates through sales and purchasing transactions
when we sell products in currencies different from the currency in which the product and
manufacturing costs were incurred. Our purchasing and sales activities are primarily denominated in
USD, JPY, CNY and EUR. As these currencies fluctuate against each other, and against other
currencies, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on sales, purchasing transactions
and labor.
Our reported results of operations and the reported value of our assets and liabilities are
also impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The assets and liabilities of many of
our subsidiaries outside the U.S. are translated at period end rates of exchange for each reporting
period. Earnings and cash flow statements are translated at weighted-average rates of exchange.
Although these translation changes have no immediate cash impact, the translation changes may
impact future borrowing capacity, debt covenants and overall value of our net assets.
From time to time, we enter into foreign currency exchange rate contracts to hedge against
changes in foreign currency exchange rates on assets and liabilities expected to be settled at a
future date. Market risk arises from the potential adverse effects on the value of derivative
instruments that result from a change in foreign currency exchange rates. We minimize our market
risk applicable to foreign currency exchange rate contracts by establishing and monitoring
parameters that limit the types and degree of our derivative contract instruments. We enter into
derivative contract instruments for risk management purposes only. We do not enter into or issue
derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Currency exchange rates vary daily and often one currency strengthens against the USD
while another currency weakens. Because of the complex interrelationship of the worldwide supply
chains and distribution channels, it is difficult to quantify the impact of a particular change in
exchange rates.
See the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more
information about the market risks to which we are exposed. There have been no material changes in
our exposure to market risk from December 31, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in
the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated
to management, including our Principal Executive Officer (Hans Georg Betz , Chief Executive Officer
and President) and Principal Financial Officer (Danny C. Herron, Executive Vice President & Chief
Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, with the
participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June
30, 2011. The conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer from this
evaluation were communicated to the Audit Committee. We intend to continue to review and document
our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness
and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
27
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, except as discussed
below, that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
As discussed in Note 2, Acquisition and Disposition, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, on May 3, 2010, we acquired PV Powered. We considered the results of our
pre-acquisition due diligence activities, the continuation by PV Powered of their established
internal control over financial reporting, and our implementation of additional internal control
over financial reporting activities related to PV Powered as part of our overall evaluation of
disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. The objective of PV Powereds established
internal control over financial reporting is consistent, in all material respects, with our
objectives. However, we believe the design of PV Powereds established internal control over
financial reporting is sufficiently different from our overall design and the controls implemented
to integrate PV Powereds financial operations into our existing operations constitute a change in
internal controls. We are in the process of implementing changes to better align PV Powereds
reporting and controls with the rest of Advanced Energy including the completion of systems
integration during the third quarter of 2011.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are involved in disputes and legal actions from time to time in the ordinary course of our
business.
There have been no material developments in legal proceedings in which we are involved during
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. For a description of previously reported legal
proceedings refer to Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010 describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. The risk factors
set forth below update such disclosures. Other factors may also exist that we cannot anticipate or
that we currently do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently
available. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future results. Such risks and
uncertainties also may impact the accuracy of forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q
and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Natural disasters, health pandemics and other catastrophic events can disrupt our business.
Catastrophic events in countries in which we do business can prevent or inhibit us or our
customers from conducting normal business operations, disrupt our supply chain or information
technology systems, and have other adverse effects on us, our customers and our suppliers. The
recent earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan in March 2011, and the ensuing effects on the
Japanese economy and infrastructure, have adversely affected many of our Thin Films customers. Both
we and they rely on raw materials and components made in Japan. If we are unable to obtain the
requisite raw materials and components in Japan from other sources, our manufacturing processes may
be delayed, which would adversely affect our customer relationships and operating results.
We are exposed to risks as a result of ongoing changes specific to the solar industry.
An significant portion of our business, both in Thin Films and Renewables, is in the emerging
solar market, which, in addition to the general industry changes described in the risk factor The
industries in which we compete are subject to volatile and unpredictable cycles, in Item 1A, Risk
Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, is also characterized
by ongoing changes particular to the solar industry. Our business is subject to changes in
technology or demand for solar products arising from, among other things, adoption of our products
by our customers, compatibility of our solar inverter technology with our customers products or
certain solar panel providers, customers and end-users access to affordable financial capital,
the cost and performance of solar technology compared to other energy sources, the adequacy of or
changes in government energy policies, including the availability and amount of government
incentives for solar power, the continuation of renewable portfolio standards, volatility in
pricing of solar array components, such as solar panels, increased competition in the solar
inverter equipment market and the extent of investment or participation in solar by utilities or
other companies that generate, transmit or distribute power to end users. There is also increased
market volatility as the size of utility scale solar projects is increasing to hundreds of
megawatts of capacity. Such large scale solar projects require significant financial resources on
our part should we be selected as the supplier for solar inverters. We are beginning to see
requirements in the solar industry for performance guarantees related to solar inverters and
associated liquidated damages provisions. This could result in financial exposure for our business
if our solar inverters do not meet reliability or uptime requirements. Lastly, customers using our
solar inverters are beginning to evaluate multi-year service agreements from us for onsite
maintenance and support of our inverters and even the solar site. These agreements, however, are
subject to annual renewal and may not be renewed by the customers.
28
If we do not successfully manage the risks resulting from these ongoing changes occurring
in the solar industry, we may miss out on substantial opportunities for revenue and our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
