“We are encouraged by the sequential improvement in our financial results, and we are pleased to announce our return to profitability after two quarters of losses, which is sooner than anticipated,” said Dr. Robert J. Shillman, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cognex. “Revenue increased slightly over the prior quarter due to higher demand from the Semiconductor and Electronics Capital Equipment market and also from the Factory Automation market, which was especially good news given that this market is typically seasonally soft during the summer months. The gross margin improved by 800 basis points. And, on the expense side we realized additional savings from our cost-cutting measures. These facts resulted in our return to profitability at both the operating income and net income lines.”
“While business conditions remain challenging, the number of projects that we are chasing has increased, and we expect that this will lead to higher revenue on a sequential basis in the fourth quarter of 2009. Offsetting this higher revenue will be higher operating expenses, which are expected to increase by 7% to 10% primarily due to savings from mandatory shutdown days in Q3-09 that will not repeat in Q4-09.” Dr. Shillman concluded.
Details of the Quarter
Statement of Operations Highlights – Third Quarter of 2009
- Revenue for the third quarter of 2009 decreased 35% from the third quarter of 2008 and increased 1% from the prior quarter. Revenue from the Semiconductor and Electronics Capital Equipment (SEMI), Factory Automation and Surface Inspection markets declined year-on-year. The increase on a sequential basis is due to higher revenue from the SEMI market and, to a lesser extent, the Factory Automation market.
- Gross margin was 71% in the third quarter of 2009, 72% in the third quarter of 2008 and 63% in the prior quarter. The percentage decreased year-on-year due to an increase in new product introduction costs as a percentage of total cost of goods sold and product mix (revenue from surface inspection systems, which have a lower product margin than modular vision systems, represented a higher percentage of total revenue in Q3-09 than in Q3-08). On a sequential basis, the percentage increased because Q3-09 included a higher percentage of revenue from modular vision systems, and Q2-09 had a higher provision for obsolete inventory.
- Research, Development & Engineering (R, D & E) spending in the third quarter of 2009 decreased 26% from the third quarter of 2008 and 12% from the prior quarter. The decrease in R, D & E spending, both year-on-year and sequentially, is due to headcount reductions and the effect of mandatory shutdown days. Lower stock option expense, the elimination of company bonuses and the impact of foreign exchange rates on the company’s international operations also contributed to the year-on-year decrease in spending.
- Selling, General & Administrative (S, G & A) spending in the third quarter of 2009 decreased 26% from the third quarter of 2008 and 5% from the prior quarter. S, G & A spending decreased year-on-year due to headcount reductions, an intangible asset impairment charge of $1,500,000 in the third quarter of 2008 that did not repeat, the effect of mandatory shutdown days, lower spending on marketing communications, travel and commissions, lower stock option expense, the elimination of company bonuses, and the impact of foreign exchange rates. These lower expenses were partially offset by higher professional fees. S, G & A spending decreased on a sequential basis due to headcount reductions, the effect of mandatory shutdown days, lower spending on marketing communications and travel, and lower stock option expense offset by higher professional fees, commissions and the impact of foreign exchange rates.
- Cognex reported restructuring charges of $223,000 in the third quarter of 2009 and $3,738,000 in the prior quarter related to cost-saving initiatives implemented by the company.
- Cognex reported a foreign currency gain of $1,000 in the third quarter of 2009, a foreign currency gain of $327,000 in the third quarter of 2008 and a foreign currency loss of $422,000 in the prior quarter. The company recognizes foreign currency gains and losses on the revaluation and settlement of accounts receivable and intercompany balances that are reported in one currency and collected in another.
- Investment and other income was $261,000 in the third quarter of 2009, $1,830,000 in the third quarter of 2008 and $447,000 in the prior quarter. The decrease year-on-year is due to a lower average invested balance and lower yields. The decrease on a sequential basis is due to lower yields and lower rental income.
- Excluding tax adjustments, the effective tax rate was 20% in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to an effective tax rate of 26% in the third quarter of 2008 and a tax benefit of 18% in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate decreased year-on-year due to more of the company’s profits being earned in lower tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate was higher than the prior quarter’s tax benefit due to more of the company’s projected losses for 2009 being incurred in higher tax jurisdictions than previously anticipated.
The third quarter of 2009 included a benefit from tax adjustments of $3,586,000, of which $3,150,000 is due to the reversal of reserves made based upon the expiration of the statute of limitations. Including tax adjustments, Cognex reported a tax benefit of 294% in the third quarter of 2009, 12% in the third quarter of 2008 and 18% in the prior quarter.
Balance Sheet Highlights – October 4, 2009
- Cognex’s financial position at October 4, 2009 was very strong, with approximately $205,915,000 in cash and investments and no debt. In the third quarter of 2009, Cognex generated positive cash flow from operations of approximately $3,800,000, and paid out $4,500,000 to acquire certain assets associated with the SmartAdvisor™ web monitoring system product line, approximately $1,400,000 in severance and other payments related to the company’s restructuring initiatives and approximately $2,000,000 in dividends to shareholders.
- Inventories at October 4, 2009 decreased by $4,138,000, or 17%, from the end of 2008.
Financial Outlook
- Given the high degree of uncertainty resulting from global economic conditions, Cognex is not providing revenue or earnings per share expectations for the fourth quarter of 2009 as it cannot do so with any degree of confidence. However, Cognex expects that revenue will increase on a sequential basis but net income will decrease on a sequential basis as Q3-09 included a benefit from tax adjustments of $3,586,000 and savings from mandatory shutdown days that will not repeat in Q4-09.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Exhibit 2 of this press release includes a reconciliation of certain financial measures from GAAP to non-GAAP. Cognex believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow investors to more accurately assess and compare the company’s results over multiple periods and to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology used by management to review its operating results. In particular, Cognex incurs expense related to stock options included in its GAAP presentation of cost of revenue, research, development, and engineering expenses (R, D & E), and selling, general and administrative expenses (S, G & A). Cognex excludes these expenses for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP adjusted income/(loss) from continuing operations and non-GAAP adjusted income/(loss) from continuing operations per share when it evaluates its continuing operational performance and in connection with its budgeting process and the allocation of resources, because these expenses have no current effect on cash or the future uses of cash and they fluctuate as a result of changes in Cognex’s stock price. Cognex also excludes certain items if they are one-time discrete events, such as restructuring charges related to cost-cutting initiatives and tax adjustments. Cognex does not intend for these non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP.
