(ROANOKE, VA, November 9, 2020) - Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced optical technology, today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

"I'm extremely pleased with our strong third-quarter 2020 performance, which reflects the team's focus on delivering results during these challenging times," said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. "I'm particularly pleased with how well the entire team has navigated the unusual and constantly changing environment, with a focus on growing top-line, expanding both gross and operating margins year-over-year, all while managing expenses prudently. Although we continue to experience some impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are performing close to our original budget year-to-date, which under the circumstances is quite extraordinary. We will continue to focus on supporting customers with excellence, delivering strong results for our shareholders, and providing a safe and supportive environment for our employees."






Third-Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary
Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 marked the 12th consecutive quarter of year-on-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth.

Highlights of the financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 are:

Net income$3,102 $1,230 152 %
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding32,411,086 32,115,847 
Net income per share (diluted)$0.10 $0.04 150 %
Adjusted EBITDA$4,267 $2,883 48 %
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be found in the schedules included in this release.

Lightwave revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to increased revenues from our communication test and sensing businesses. Luna Labs revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the prior-year period, due to growth in various government research programs.

Operating income and margin improved to $2.3 million and 11% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million and 8% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in operating income was primarily due to our revenue mix and operating expense leverage. The Lightwave division represented a larger portion of our total revenues and generally carries stronger margins. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 1.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.




Net income was $3.1 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $3.1 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in both net income from continuing operations and net income attributable to common stockholders is primarily due to Lightwave's additional gross profit and operating expense leverage.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was driven by revenue growth, increased gross profit, and operating expense leverage.























Nine Months Year-to-Date Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include nine months of the business of General Photonics Corporation ("GP"), acquired in March 2019, compared to seven months for the prior-year period.

Highlights of the financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are:

Net income per share from continuing operations (diluted)$0.15 $0.10 50 %
Adjusted EBITDA$8,803 $6,236 41 %

Lightwave revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased compared to the prior-year period due to the inclusion of the incremental revenues associated with the acquired operations of GP, as well as increased revenues associated with our sensing business. Luna Labs revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the prior period, due to growth in Phase 2 SBIR government research programs.






Operating income and margin improved to $4.5 million and 8% of total revenues, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.6 million and 3% of total revenues, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in operating income was primarily due to our revenue mix and operating expense leverage. The Lightwave division represented a larger portion of our total revenues and generally carries stronger margins.

Net income from continuing operations was $4.8 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which included a $1.3 million income tax benefit related to a reduction in deferred tax asset valuation allowances due to the GP acquisition. The increase in net income from continuing operations was primarily due to increased revenue and gross profit as well as operating expense leverage. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $3.4 million, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net income attributable to common stockholders is primarily due to increased revenue and gross profit as well as operating expense leverage, partially offset by the loss from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations was attributable to the resolution of a $2.5 million indemnification claim related to the August 2017 sale of Luna's high-speed optical receivers (HSOR) business that was recorded in the first quarter of 2020. The resolution of the HSOR claim resulted in Luna receiving $0.6 million from escrow and the buyer receiving $1.9 million, net of a tax benefit of $0.5 million.

2020 Full-Year Outlook
Luna is reaffirming its full-year guidance:
Total revenues of $81M to $83M
Adjusted EBITDA of $10M to $12M

COVID-19 Update
Luna continues to operate at its normal capacity with the well-being and safety of its workforce a priority and, to date, has not experienced any material impact related to COVID-19.
The company has a strong cash position and adequate access to capital. Cash and cash equivalents were $26.4 million as of September 30, 2020, and in addition, Luna has access to its $10 million revolving credit facility.

The company continues to believe it is in a strong position to take advantage of trends such as 5G, lightweighting and infrastructure monitoring and that these trends will continue during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Luna’s operations are deemed essential and continue to operate at normal capacity with necessary COVID-19 precautions. To date, the company has been able to mitigate disruptions to its supply chain.





An important part of Luna’s sales effort has been done historically through a series of in-person tradeshows and conferences, none of which are currently taking place. Luna's successful shift to a robust online presence has, in many instances, improved engagement between Luna's sales force and its customers, allowing Luna to curate a specific message over a longer and more dedicated period of customer "face time". Yet, in-person meetings have historically been helpful in closing the sale. This has created a slight challenge around Luna's ability to forecast the exact timing of closing certain customer contracts and receiving purchase orders. Due to Luna's innovative, reliable products and its close customer relationships, the lack of in-person discussions has not, to date, had an adverse effect on the likelihood of obtaining the orders themselves.

Non-GAAP Financial 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 GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding the effect of certain non-cash expenses and items that Luna believes may not be indicative of its operating performance, because either they are unusual and Luna 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. 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.

Conference Call Information
As previously announced, Luna will conduct an investor conference call at 5:00 pm (ET) today to discuss its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The investor conference call will be available via live webcast on the Luna website at www.lunainc.com under the tab “Investor Relations.” To participate by telephone, the domestic dial-in number is 844.578.9643 and the international dial-in number is 270.823.1522. The participant access code is 1262746. Investors are advised to dial in at least five minutes prior to the call to register. The webcast will be archived on the company’s website under “Webcasts and Presentations” for 30 days following the conference call.
