Evergreen Solar's revenue beats Street view

LOS ANGELES
Wed Nov 4, 2009 4:36pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. solar company Evergreen Solar Inc on Wednesday posted revenue that beat Wall Street's view, as the company increased production and sold everything it produced.

Revenue rose to $77.7 million in the third quarter, topping the $73.86 million analysts had expected, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

The company reported a third quarter net loss of $82.4 million, or 40 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $24.6 million, or 19 cents per share, a year ago.

Those results included a charge of about $70 million for a write-down in the company's Sovello joint venture.

Like other solar companies, Evergreen has been hit by a lack of financing for new projects and a glut of panels.
