Luna Innovations Reports Record Second Quarter 2018
(ROANOKE, VA, August 1, 2018) - Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced optical technology, today reported record financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth and positive net income from continuing operations
Total revenues of $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, up 22% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017
Net income improved significantly to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $(0.2) million for the prior-year fiscal quarter
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.6 million for the prior-year fiscal quarter

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial metric used by management to measure operating performance. This term is defined elsewhere in this release. Please see schedules appearing later in this release for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

“I’m very proud of the Luna team for driving the businesses to another strong quarter of growth,” said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. “The double-digit revenue percentage increases we saw across our business segments led to strong revenue growth year-over-year, and we achieved positive net income from continuing operations for a record fifth consecutive quarter.”

In a separate release issued today, Luna also announced it has sold its Optoelectronic Solutions business to OSI Optoelectronics, Inc. a subsidiary of OSI Systems, Inc., a leader in the development and manufacture of optoelectronic OEM and custom solutions for leading technologies and industries.

“As we’ve mentioned previously, we are well positioned to drive growth in Luna’s core fiber optic-based test and measurement business to better serve this rapidly expanding market, which is projected to grow to more than $9 billion by 2025,” Graeff continued. “Divesting our Optoelectronics Solutions business to an industry leader such as OSI allows us to focus on our core strengths and competitive advantages, as well as underscores our overall reputation for technological excellence. Culturally, the divestiture is a great fit with OSI, and we thank all of the Optoelectronic Solutions employees for their many contributions while they were part of the Luna team.”

Second-Quarter and Six-Month Financial Summary
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $13.8 million compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Technology development revenues increased 19% to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Total products and licensing revenues increased 24% to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in the products and licensing revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 was partially due to a 146% increase in sensing equipment, which includes Luna's ODiSI products. The increase in technology development revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the prior-year period was due to continued growth in government research in advancing optical and bio-medical technologies and Luna's success in winning these research contracts.

Gross profit was $5.7 million, or 41% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to gross profit of $4.4 million, or 39% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Research, development and engineering ("R&D") expenses were $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in SG&A and in R&D expenses were due partially to the hiring of additional sales and marketing professionals as well as engineers in the Lightwave division, Luna's fiber optic test and measurement business.

Net income from continuing operations improved to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.0 million, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(0.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

For the first six months of fiscal 2018, Luna reported net income of $1.2 million compared to a net loss of $(1.6) million. Net income from continuing operations improved by $2.0 million, to $1.2 million, or $0.04 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $(0.8) million, or $(0.03) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. A reconciliation of net income/(loss) to adjusted EBITDA can be found in the schedules included in this release.

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.
Conference Call Information
As previously announced, Luna will conduct an investor conference call at 8:30 am (EDT) today to discuss its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the sale of the Optoelectronic Solutions business and other recent business developments.
