CRAY INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Company awarded $70 million contract and reaffirms annual guidance for 2014
Seattle, WA - April 29, 2014 - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (Nasdaq: CRAY) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
All figures in this release are based on U.S. GAAP unless otherwise noted. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in the financial tables in this press release. Given the nature of the business, the Company’s results can fluctuate dramatically quarter-to-quarter.
Revenue for the quarter was $55.1 million compared to $79.5 million in the prior year period. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $12.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net loss was $17.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the quarter, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Overall gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2014 was 33% compared to 30% for the first quarter of 2013. Total non-GAAP gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2014 was 34% compared to 32% for the first quarter of 2013.
Operating expenses for the first quarter were $39.8 million compared to $36.9 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter were $37.3 million, compared to $35.2 million for the prior year period.
As of March 31, 2014, cash, investments and restricted cash totaled $278.6 million compared to $220.4 million at December 31, 2013. Working capital at the end of the first quarter was $314.9 million, compared to $334.9 million at December 31, 2013.
“We’re off to a solid start to the year,” said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. “We exceeded our revenue target for the first quarter, led by several CS300 supercomputer installations in the U.S. and Japan, and we were recently awarded a significant new contract by the U.S. Department of Energy for a next generation XC supercomputer which is expected to be NERSC’s next flagship system. Our big data storage and analytics offerings continue to expand, and we were recently awarded our first contract for our latest storage offering called Tiered Adaptive Storage, which enables the transparent management and access of data across a dynamic storage hierarchy. While we still have a lot of work left to do to achieve our outlook for the year, I am excited about the progress we are making as we continue to target growth at two-times the market rates in our targeted markets.”
Outlook
For 2014, while a wide range of results remains possible, the Company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $600 million for the year. Revenue is expected to ramp quarterly during 2014, with about $75 million for the second quarter and somewhat more than 50% of the year weighted to the fourth quarter.
1
Non-GAAP gross margin for 2014 is anticipated to be in the mid-30% range. Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the year are anticipated to be about $175 million. Based on this outlook, the Company expects to be profitable on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for 2014.
The Company’s 2014 effective non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be about 10%.
Actual results for any future period are subject to large fluctuations given the nature of Cray’s business.
Recent Highlights
• | In April, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) chose a next-generation Cray XC supercomputer for its future system to address a broad range of demanding computational challenges. The multi-year contract is valued at more than $70 million and the supercomputer and storage solution is expected to be delivered in 2016. |
• | In April, Cray was awarded a contract to deliver a Cray Tiered Adaptive Storage (TAS) solution to the North German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN). Cray TAS is an open storage and archiving solution for big data and high performance computing environments, and gives HLRN a long-term data management solution for its High Performance Computing Center located in Hannover, Germany. |
• | In March, Cray was awarded a contract to provide the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH) with a Cray XC30 supercomputer -- the first XC30 system in China. One of the largest private hospitals in Hong Kong, HKSH will use its Cray XC30 system to further medical research in the areas of bioinformatics and next generation sequencing. |
• | In March, Cray announced the opening of the Company's new supercomputer manufacturing facility in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. With the addition of this second facility and recent upgrades to its existing primary manufacturing site, Cray has roughly doubled its manufacturing capacity. |
• | Cray’s YarcData division was recently awarded a new contract by an international government customer for its Urika data discovery appliance based on its capability to scale on very large graph applications. |
• | In February, Cray was selected as part of a consortium of industry, academia and government organizations to partner with the U.S. federal government in an effort to improve manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. Cray is a member of the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation (DMDI) Institute team that is led by UI Labs and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Other members of the DMDI team include ANSYS, Boeing, General Dynamics, General Electric, Honeywell, Procter & Gamble, Rolls-Royce, Siemens, and The Dow Chemical Company. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures that we have set forth provide additional insight for analysts and investors and facilitate an evaluation of Cray’s financial and operational performance that is consistent with the manners in which management evaluates Cray’s financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary or advisable for the conduct of Cray’s business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Hence, to compensate for these limitations, management does not review these non-GAAP financial metrics in isolation from its GAAP results, nor should investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, or disclosures, required by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These measures are adjusted as described in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP numbers at the end of this release, but these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this non-GAAP information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in Cray’s SEC filings.
Additionally, we have not quantitatively reconciled the non-GAAP guidance measures disclosed under “Outlook” to their corresponding GAAP measures because we do not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items such as stock-based compensation, adjustments to the provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, costs related to acquisitions, purchase accounting adjustments, and gain on significant asset sales, as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the non-GAAP guidance measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our financial results.
