Luna Innovations Incorporated Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Revenues grew $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2016 above the $10.0 million reported for second quarter of 2015. Net loss also improved by $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015.
(ROANOKE, VA, August 9, 2016) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
Following Luna's merger with Advanced Photonix, Inc. ("API") in May 2015, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, revenues increased by $4.6 million, net loss improved by $1.4 million, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") decreased by $0.1 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA can be found in the schedules included in this release.
“We are pleased with the inter-divisional interactions and financial results from the API merger. This quarter we had strong growth in the sales of our high speed optical receivers and our distributed fiber optic sensing test systems," said My Chung, president and chief executive officer of Luna. "The second quarter continued to deliver strong demand for our 100G optical receivers for the long haul data transmission market, 2.5G avalanche photodiodes for the fiber to the premise market and increasing adoption of our ODiSI systems for the measurement of strain in composite materials. We continue to believe that our focus on these strategic initiatives will provide significant growth opportunities for us, providing enhanced value to our customers and to our stockholders."
Second Quarter Financial Summary
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016, were $14.6 million compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This reflects an 18% increase over the combined revenues of $12.4 million for Luna and API for the second quarter of 2015. Product and licensing revenues grew to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Products and licensing revenues grew 22% compared to the combined products and licensing revenues of $8.6 million for Luna and API combined for the second quarter of 2015. Technology development revenues were $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Technology development revenues grew 5% compared to the combined technology development revenues of $3.9 million for Luna and API for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Gross profit increased to $5.2 million, or 35% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to gross profit of $4.2 million, or 42% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in the gross margin percentage in the second quarter of 2016 resulted from a greater proportion of revenues being generated from the sales of high speed optical receiver ("HSOR") products, which typically have a lower gross margin percentage than the test & measurement products of Luna's historical business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 included $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets recognized from the merger with API. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included $1.7 million in non-recurring merger-related expenses.
Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. The operations of API were not included in our research, development and engineering expenses prior to the closing of our merger on May 8, 2015, resulting in this increase in research development and engineering expense.
Operating loss improved to $(0.7) million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to an operating loss of $(2.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders improved to $(0.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(2.2) million for the
three months ended June 30, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Year to Date Financial Summary
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, total revenues were $28.6 million compared to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Total revenues of $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 reflect an increase of 18% compared to total combined revenues of $24.2 million for Luna and API for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Gross profit increased to $10.0 million, or 35% of total revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $6.5 million, or 42% of total revenues, for the first six months of 2015. The decline in the gross margin percentage is attributable to a greater proportion of revenues being generated from the sales of HSOR products, which typically carry a lower gross margin than the test & measurement products of Luna's historical business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2015 included $3.6 million of non-recurring merger-related expenses. Research, development and engineering expenses were $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.1 million for the first six months of 2015. The operations of API were not included in our research, development, and engineering expenses prior to the closing of our merger on May 8, 2015, resulting in this increase in research, development and engineering expense.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $(2.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $(4.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
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, including expenses incurred in connection with Luna's merger with API. 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.
