Our second quarter revenue was $134.1 million, an increase of 34% sequentially and an increase of 77% year-over year. We shipped approximately 416 megawatts DC, or 1,283,680 microinverters. We continued to see strong demand across the board from our customers. While demand continued to outstrip available supply, we were able to increase capacity to better support our customers. As stated before, we are on track to have a supply of approximately two million microinverters in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Our non-GAAP gross margin was 34.1%, an increase of 60 basis points from 33.5% in the first quarter of 2019. The non-GAAP gross margin was negatively impacted by approximately 330 basis points due to expedite fees related to component shortages, compared to approximately 280 basis points in the prior quarter. The expedite fees were in the form of air shipments that we chose to make in order to service our customers. Non-GAAP operating expenses were $22.5 million, compared to $22.3 million in the prior quarter.
We exited the second quarter with $206.0 million in cash and generated $14.8 million in cash flows from operations. The second quarter cash balance included net proceeds of approximately $115 5 million on June 5, 2019 associated with the issuance of $132.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2024 and the repurchase of $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due 2023 in exchange for shares of Enphase Energy common stock and separate cash payments. Inventory was $20.1 million in the second quarter, compared to $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
On June 10, 2019, Enphase Energy announced that more than 500 solar installation companies in the U.S. have benefitted from significantly reduced solar design complexity and logistics by adopting Enphase Energized™ AC Modules (ACMs). Enphase Energized AC Modules, first released in October 2017, are factory-assembled, tested and sold by Enphase ACM partners, including SunPower, Panasonic and Solaria. Enphase Energized AC Modules are built by strategic module partners who integrate Enphase microinverters with PV modules on the manufacturing line. ACMs are tested for performance, reliability, and quality right on the manufacturing line and allow solar installers to offer premium solutions to homeowners.
On June 17, 2019, Enphase Energy announced that it renewed its low-income solar partnership with GRID Alternatives, a national leader in making renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underserved communities. Through the donation of microinverters, Enphase will help GRID Alternatives meet its goal of installing more than 10 megawatts of solar power in 2019, helping families and affordable housing providers save millions of dollars in energy costs and providing hands-on solar installation training to over 4,000 individuals.
On July 1, 2019, Enphase Energy announced the first shipment of seventh-generation Enphase IQ™ microinverters produced in Mexico as part of its expanded manufacturing agreement with Flex. As previously announced, Enphase plans to sell products produced in Mexico into the U.S. market to mitigate tariffs, increase global capacity and improve customer delivery times.
    
THIRD QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
For the third quarter of 2019, Enphase Energy estimates both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results as follows:
Revenue to be within a range of $170 million to $180 million, including a range of $6 million to $10 million for ITC safe harbor
GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin to be within a range of 33% to 36%
GAAP operating expenses to be within a range of $28.5 million to $30.5 million, including a total of approximately $5.0 million estimated for stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition related expenses and amortization
Non-GAAP operating expenses to be within a range of $23.5 million to $25.5 million, excluding a total of approximately $5.0 million estimated for stock-based compensation expenses and acquisition related expenses and amortization

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share.
These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Enphase believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
As presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables in the accompanying press release, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items for purposes of calculating non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance:
Stock-based compensation expense. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash in nature. Moreover, the impact of this expense is significantly affected by the Company’s stock price at the time of an award over which management has limited to no control.
Restructuring charges. The Company excludes restructuring charges due to the nature of the expenses being unplanned and arising outside the ordinary course of continuing operations. These costs primarily consist of fees paid for restructuring-related management consulting services, cash-based severance costs and modification of stock-based compensation related to workforce reduction actions, asset write-downs of property and equipment and lease loss reserves, and other contract termination costs resulting from restructuring initiatives.
Reserve for non-recurring legal matter. This item represents a charge taken for the potential settlement cost related to a dispute with a vendor. This item is excluded as it relates to a specific matter and is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
Acquisition related expenses and amortization. This item represents expenses incurred related to the Company’s acquisition of SunPower’s microinverter business, which are non-recurring in nature, and amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense. Acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets are not reflective of the Company's ongoing financial performance.

3


Non-recurring debt prepayment fees and non-cash interest. This item consists primarily of amortization of debt issuance costs, accretion of debt discount and non-recurring debt settlement costs, because these expenses does not represent a cash outflow for the Company except in the period the financing was secured or when the financing was settled, and such amortization expense or settlement of debt costs is not reflective of the Company’s ongoing financial performance.
