Luna Innovations Incorporated Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Net loss improved to $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $(1.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016

(ROANOKE, VA, May 11, 2017) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, Luna reported revenues of $13.1 million and a net loss of $(1.4) million compared to revenues of $14.0 million and a net loss of $(1.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA can be found in the schedules included in this release.
“As we described last quarter, with the transition to a new vendor managed inventory arrangement with our largest customer in Asia as of January 1, 2017, we shipped fewer of our 100G integrated coherent receivers during the first quarter of 2017 than we did in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, our overall products and licensing revenue declined year over year," said My Chung, president and chief executive officer of Luna. "We anticipate the market for 100G products to return to significant growth in the second half of this year, driven by the build-out of metro networks in China and the adoption of our second generation 100G integrated coherent receivers. We remain focused on the execution of our key strategic growth initiatives, and continue to be excited about the growth opportunities they provide for the full year of 2017 and beyond."

First Quarter Financial Summary

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $13.1 million compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Technology development revenues increased 15% to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Products and licensing revenues were $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decline in products and licensing revenues year over year resulted primarily from lower sales of 100G receivers in Asia compared to the first quarter of the previous year as Luna transitioned to a new vendor managed inventory arrangement with its largest customer in that region.
Gross profit was $4.7 million, or 36% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to gross profit of $4.8 million, or 35% of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Research, development and engineering expenses decreased to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Operating loss improved to $(1.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to an operating loss of $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Net loss attributable to common stockholders improved to $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(1.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was unchanged at $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Non-GAAP Measures
In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management considers Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain charges and credits that are required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA





provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding the effect of certain non-cash expenses and items that Luna believes may not be indicative of its operating performance, because either they are unusual and Luna 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. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
