(NASDAQ: ENPH) released its second-quarter financial results before the markets opened on Wednesday, the firm said that it had $0.18 in earnings per share (EPS) and $134.1 million in revenue. That compared with consensus estimates of $0.13 in EPS and $134.09 million in revenue, as well as the $0.02 per share on $75.9 million in the same period of last year.
During the latest quarter, revenues increased 77% year over year, and the firm shipped roughly 416 megawatts DC, or 1,283,680 microinverters. Enphase continued to see strong demand from its customers across the board.

We exited the second quarter with $206.0 million in cash and generated $14.8 million in cash flows from operations.
