(ROANOKE, VA, March 11, 2021) - Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced optical technology, today announced its financial results for the three months and full fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

“Our outstanding operating and financial performance in 2020 in the midst of a pandemic underscores the strength of our product portfolio, our ability to innovate and the fact that we are clear about our strategy and have not wavered from our stated vision,” said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. “From an



operational standpoint, the absolute focus and dedication of our team was evident as we continued to execute against that strategy to support our customers, keep our employees safe and deliver the financial results that we guided to before COVID permeated our lives."

Graeff continued, "In spite of the fact that we could not travel and meet in person, we continued to work our acquisition pipeline and recently completed the acquisition of OptaSense, the largest transaction in our history. Our financial achievements were equally as impressive, achieving double-digit top-line growth and record revenue for 2020. I am inspired by the commitment and hard work of the Luna team, all of whom continued to ensure service excellence for our customers. This performance and focus gives us a very strong springboard entering 2021.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary
Financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 continue the strong momentum throughout the fiscal year. The reported performance metrics below include OptaSense for the stub period starting from the acquisition date of December 3, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Given the timing of the close of the transaction so late in the quarter and fiscal year, the inclusion of the results of operations of OptaSense for this stub period does not reflect integration costs or cost synergies from the transaction.
























Highlights of the financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 are:
Three Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except per share data)20202019Change

   Lightwave$19,278 $13,988 38 %

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding (in thousands)32,831 32,212 
Net income per share from continuing operations (diluted)$— $0.07 
Adjusted EBITDA$4,283 $3,238 32 %

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss)/income can be found in the schedules included in this release.

The reported results reflect the inclusion of the incremental revenues of $1.5 million associated with the operations of OptaSense for the stub period from December 3, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Excluding the revenue from OptaSense, Lightwave revenue increased by $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, or 27%, compared to the prior year period, to $17.8 million. This increase in revenue was due to increased revenues associated with communications test and fiber optic sensing products. Luna Labs revenues increased for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the prior-year period due in part to a large shipment of product to a US military branch to help reduce maintenance costs. Excluding the revenue from OptaSense, total revenue increased by $4.9 million, or 25%, compared to the prior year period, to $24.4 million.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2020 increased compared to the prior-year period due to increased revenues associated with legacy Luna operations as well as an incremental $0.7 million of gross profit associated with the operations of OptaSense for the stub period from December 3, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Excluding the gross profit from OptaSense, gross profit increased $2.3 million, or 22%, compared to the prior year period, to $12.7 million.




The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of $2.2 million of acquisition related expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of OptaSense and $1.6 million of expenses associated with OptaSense operations for the stub period from December 3, 2020 through December 31, 2020, as well continued incremental investment in sales and engineering to support Luna's growth. Excluding the acquisition-related expenses and expenses of OptaSense operations, operating income increased $2.0 million, or 114%, compared to the prior-year period, to $3.7 million, representing an operating margin on legacy Luna operations of 15%.

Net loss from continuing operations was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to net income from continuing operations of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, for the prior-year period. The decrease in net income from continuing operations was driven by $2.3 million of acquisition related expenses more than offsetting increased revenue and strong operating results from Luna's legacy operations. Excluding acquisition-related expenses and a $0.9 million loss from the operations of OptaSense, net income from continuing operations increased by $0.8 million, or 39%, to $3.0 million or $0.09 per fully diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was driven by revenue growth from both Lightwave and Luna Labs. Legacy Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the effects of the OptaSense acquisition, was $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.





Full-Year Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary
Highlights of the financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 are:

2021 Full-Year Outlook:
For fiscal year 2021, Luna expects:
Total revenues in the range of $122 million to $127 million for full fiscal 2021; and
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $16 million to $19 million for full fiscal 2021.

Luna is not providing an outlook for net income, which is the most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure to Adjusted EBITDA, because changes in the items that Luna excludes from net income to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, such as share-based compensation, tax expense, and significant non-recurring charges, among other things, can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of Luna's routine operating activities.

The outlook above does not include any future acquisitions, divestitures, or unanticipated events.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management considers Adjusted EBITDA, Legacy Adjusted EBITDA and Legacy Adjusted EPS, which exclude certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Legacy Adjusted EBITDA and Legacy Adjusted EPS provide 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. Legacy Adjusted EBITDA and Legacy Adjusted EPS exclude the effects of the acquisition of OptaSense in December 2020, which management believes is useful to assess the profitability of the legacy Luna business on a standalone basis. Adjusted EBITDA, Legacy Adjusted EBITDA and Legacy Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA, Legacy Adjusted EBITDA and Legacy Adjusted EPS have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
