FARO Reports Second Quarter 2012 Sales and Net Income Growth of 11.8%

LAKE MARY, FL, July 31, 2012 — FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012. Sales in the second quarter of 2012 increased 11.8% to $66.8 million, from $59.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. The Company reported net income increased by 11.8% to $4.7 million, or $0.28 per share, in the second quarter of 2012, from $4.2 million, or $0.25 per share, in the second quarter of 2011.

New order bookings for the second quarter of 2012 were $71.0 million, an increase of 13.6% from $62.5 million in the second quarter of 2011.

“We had strong results in Asia and the Americas with sales increasing by 28.8% and 17.4%, respectively, over the second quarter of last year. Despite a sluggish and uncertain European economy, sales in Europe increased 9.4% when measured in Euros. However, due to the strengthening of the US dollar, European sales showed a modest decline of 2.9% when translated to US dollars,” stated Jay Freeland, FARO’s President and CEO. “Net income grew at the same pace as revenue even after absorbing considerable expenses related to litigation, the completion of FCPA monitoring activities and the unfavorable effect of exchange rates.”

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2012 was 55.5%, compared to 56.1% in the second quarter of 2011 and reflects lower average selling prices resulting from promotions to reduce inventory in preparation for new product introductions and an increase in sales of the Laser Scanner products sold through our distributor channel.

The Company’s operating margin for the second quarter increased to 10.3%, compared to 9.6% in the second quarter of 2011 and included approximately $1.2 million of professional fees related to the final review by the FCPA Monitor and an increase in patent litigation expenses of $0.4 million. The Company does not expect to incur further expenses related to FCPA matter going forward.


“In the second half of the year, we expect continuing economic headwinds in Europe that could spill over to other regions. Accordingly, we will be vigilant in cost containment while continuing to invest in product development and driving aggressive sales and marketing activities,” Freeland concluded.
