Luna Innovations Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Financial Results

Positive operating cash flow $2.4 million for the quarter; Total revenues decrease 10%

from prior year quarter; Annual revenues increase 3% over prior year; Loss attributable

to common shareholders improves $1.5 million for full year

(ROANOKE, VA, March 8, 2012) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, Luna realized a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.4 million, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenues decreased to $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of the preceding year, with a corresponding reduction in gross profit to $2.7 million for the most recent quarter compared to $3.4 million in the prior year quarter. This decline was largely offset by an improvement of 27% in operating expenses, which totaled $3.2 million in the last quarter of 2011 compared to $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Additionally, the company generated positive operating cash flow of $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the year, total revenues increased 3% compared to 2010, driven by a 9% growth in product and license revenue. Total revenues grew to $35.6 million for 2011 compared to $34.5 million in 2010, including an increase in product and license revenue to $13.2 million in 2011 compared to $12.1 million in 2010. Full year revenues in the company’s technology development segment were unchanged at $22.4 million in 2011 and in 2010. Gross profit increased to $13.2 million for 2011 compared to gross profit of $12.9 million in 2010. Net loss attributable to common shareholders improved 49% to $1.5 million, or $0.11 per common share, for 2011 versus a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3.0 million, or $0.23 per common share, for 2010.

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, decreased to $2.6 million for 2011 from $2.8 million in 2010.

“I am pleased with our return to positive cash flow and bottom line improvement in the fourth quarter as the quarterly decline in revenue we had expected was realized,” said My Chung, chief executive officer of Luna. “As we move ahead into 2012 with a still uncertain economy, we will remain focused on our strategic initiatives in fiber optic sensing and secure computing opportunities to deliver value to our shareholders.”

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.
