Luna Innovations Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Quarterly net income of $0.2 million; Total revenues increase 3% over prior year quarter; Technology development division revenues increase 23% over prior year quarter

(ROANOKE, VA, November 14, 2011) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

For the third quarter of 2011, Luna achieved its first quarterly positive net income since its IPO (excluding the fourth quarter of 2009, in which net income resulted primarily from the reversal of previous litigation accruals). Net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2011 reflects an improvement of $0.7 million compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, as revenues increased while operating expenses declined.

Also, as compared to the same quarter last year, total revenue increased by 3%, from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Revenue in the company’s technology development segment improved by 23% from $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, while product and license revenue decreased by 25%, from $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. Gross profit increased from $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding litigation and reorganization related items and non-cash stock-based compensation and warrant expense, improved to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2010. Cash decreased from $8.1 million at June 30, 2011 to $6.8 million at September 30, 2011.

“Our third quarter results reflect the achievement of a significant milestone in our financial and operational objectives,” said My Chung, chief executive officer of Luna. “I am extremely pleased that during a weak economy for product sales our team was able to deliver bottom line results that exceeded expectations. Moving forward we will focus our efforts on accelerating growth within the company through a principal focus on opportunities in fiber optic sensing and secure computing.”

Third Quarter Financial and Business Summary

 

 

Total revenues increased by 3%, to $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, from $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Technology development revenues increased by 23%, to $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2011, from $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2010. Growth in this segment of the business included the recognition of approximately $0.8 million in revenue from the completion of four short-term contracts in the secure computing and communications group.

 

 

Product and license revenue decreased by 25%, to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2011, from $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, reflecting lower sales of fiber optic test and measurement equipment.

 

 

Gross profit increased to $3.5 million, or 40% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2011, from $3.4 million, or 40% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 32% to $2.3 million, or 26% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2011, from $3.4 million, or 39% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2010, driven primarily by a $0.2 million reduction in outside legal costs and a $0.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

 

 

Total operating expenses decreased to $3.2 million, or 36% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2011, from $3.7 million, or 44% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, from $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Net income attributable to common stockholders improved to $0.2 million, or $0.02 per basic common share and $0.01 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $0.5 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.8 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to $7.2 million at December 31, 2010 and $8.1 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease in cash during the third quarter of 2011 reflects a high concentration of the quarter’s revenues being earned during the last month of the quarter and, accordingly, not converted from accounts receivable to cash by September 30. Although cash decreased by approximately $1.2 million during the quarter, accounts receivable increased by approximately $1.2 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Financial Summary

 

 

Total revenue increased $2.0 million, or 8%, to $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

 

Product and license revenue increased by 18%, to 10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

 

Technology development revenues increased by 3%, to $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Outlook for the Remainder of 2011

Based on information as of November 14, 2011, the company expects total revenue for 2011 to be in the range of $35.6 million to $36.1 million. Also for 2011, the company anticipates a net loss to common stockholders in the range of $1.8 million to $2.0 million. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the company expects revenue of approximately $8.0 million to $8.5 million and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $0.7 million to $1.0 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management excludes certain charges and credits that are required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding 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. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
