Luna Innovations Incorporated Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Product and licensing revenues grew 21% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the
combined first quarter of 2015 for Luna and API
(ROANOKE, VA, May 10, 2016) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Following the company's merger with Advanced Photonix, Inc. ("API") in May 2015, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenues increased by $8.6 million, net loss improved by $1.2 million, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") improved by $0.2 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA can be found in the schedules included in this release.
“As anticipated, we realized significant growth in the sales of high speed optical receivers and ODiSI systems in the first quarter of 2016," said My Chung, president and chief executive officer of Luna Innovations. "We are encouraged by our first quarter growth in high speed optical receivers, centered around 100G receivers for the metro/long haul data transmission market and 2.5G APDs for the fiber to the premise market along with the market's acceptance of our ODiSI systems for the measurement of strain in composite materials, especially within the aerospace and automotive industries. We continue to expect these two strategic initiatives to provide significant growth opportunities for us throughout the remainder of 2016."
First Quarter Financial Summary
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $14.0 million compared to combined revenues of Luna and API of $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Luna and API recognized revenue of $5.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively, on a standalone basis for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Product and licensing revenues grew to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to pre-merger combined products and licensing revenues of $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase represented a 21% growth in product and licensing revenues compared to the combined products and licensing revenues of Luna and API for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Technology development revenues increased to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to combined technology development revenues of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
With the inclusion of API operating results in the first quarter of 2016, gross profit increased to $4.8 million, or 35% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to Luna's standalone gross profit of $2.3 million, or 43% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets recognized from the merger with API and $2.2 million of expenses associated with the operations of API. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included $1.8 million in non-recurring merger-related expenses.
Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2015. Research, development and engineering expenses included $0.9 million of costs from the operations of API for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Operating loss improved to $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to an operating loss of $(2.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders improved to $(1.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(2.7) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(0.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Non-GAAP Measures
In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management considers Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain charges and credits that are required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding the effect of certain non-cash expenses and items that the company believes may not be indicative of its operating performance, because either they are unusual and the company does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business or they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course, including expenses incurred in connection with Luna's merger with API. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
