Luna Innovations Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
Revenues decrease by $1.8 million compared to third quarter 2008;
Operating costs continue to improve; Net loss at $2 million
(ROANOKE, VA, Nov. 12, 2009) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a company focusing on sensing & instrumentation and pharmaceutical nanomedicines, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
As compared to the same quarter last year, third quarter 2009 revenues decreased from $10.7 million to $8.9 million, gross profit decreased from $4.3 million to $3.5 million, and loss per share increased from $0.04 to $0.18.
Kent Murphy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, provided this comment related to third quarter results: “In the third quarter, we recognized approximately $0.9 million of reorganization costs in addition to approximately $0.7 million of legal fees related to our litigation with Hansen Medical. Excluding these costs and fees in both periods, our operating expenses for the most recent quarter would have decreased by approximately $1.0 million compared to the same period last year, and our operating loss would have been an improvement compared to the third quarter of last year. When we normalize our results by excluding the costs associated with our reorganization and the Hansen litigation, our Adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million represents an increase of $0.2 million over the third quarter of 2008 and our Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million year to date reflects an increase of $1.1 million compared to last year. I am pleased with our continued improvement in the financial results of our core operations and our progress in developing and launching new products.”
