FARO Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

LAKE MARY, FL, July 24, 2019 - FARO^® (NASDAQ: FARO), the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for 3D manufacturing, construction BIM, 3D design, public safety forensics, and photonics applications, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“I’m excited to have joined FARO in mid-June and to lead the company through its next phase of evolution,” stated Michael Burger, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am very encouraged by our company’s technological, manufacturing, and organizational strengths and FARO’s potential for growth. Looking forward, we will be developing a strategy to leverage our capabilities to deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Summary

Total sales were $93.5 million for second quarter 2019, as compared with $98.2 million for second quarter 2018, which included the unfavorable impacts of $5.8 million from the GSA sales adjustment described below and $2.5 million from changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the impact of the GSA sales adjustment, non-GAAP* total sales were $99.3 million for second quarter 2019, up 1.1% as compared with $98.2 million for second quarter 2018. We grew our service revenue year-over-year by 13.2% in second quarter 2019, driven by the growth of our installed base and our focused after-market sales initiatives. Our product sales for second quarter 2019 decreased year-over-year primarily due to the GSA sales adjustment, the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, and a decrease in unit sales within our 3D manufacturing segment, especially in our Asia-Pacific region. New order bookings were $106.1 million for second quarter 2019, down 0.4% as compared with $106.5 million for second quarter 2018.

As previously disclosed, we have sold our products and related services to the U.S. Government (the “Government”) under General Services Administration (“GSA”) Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the “Contracts”) since 2002. On February 14, 2019, we reported to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General that our preliminary internal review determined that we may have overcharged the Government under the Contracts (the “GSA Matter”). In fourth quarter 2018, we reduced our total sales by $4.8 million and recorded $0.5 million of imputed interest in other expense related to the GSA Matter based on our preliminary internal review at that time. We also retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to conduct a comprehensive review of our pricing and other practices under the Contracts (the “Review”). On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the Review, which reflected an estimated aggregate overcharge of $10.6 million and imputed interest of $1.0 million under the Contracts. Based on the results of the Review, we reduced our total sales for second quarter 2019 by an incremental $5.8 million (the “GSA sales adjustment”) and recorded an incremental $0.4 million of imputed interest in other expense.

Gross margin was 56.0% for second quarter 2019, as compared with 58.7% for the same prior year period, reflecting a strong increase in service margin, which was more than offset by the impact of the GSA sales adjustment. Non-GAAP* gross margin was 58.5% for second quarter 2019.

Operating loss was $4.9 million for second quarter 2019, as compared with operating income of $1.9 million for second quarter 2018, primarily reflecting the GSA sales adjustment and incremental general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million related to our Chief Executive Officer succession and $0.7 million related to advisory fees incurred during second quarter 2019 in connection with the GSA Matter. Non-GAAP* operating income was $3.1 million for second quarter 2019.

Other expense was $1.9 million for second quarter 2019, as compared with $0.4 million for the second quarter last year, driven by a $1.5 million impairment charge related to our strategic investment in an early stage software company, and $0.4 million of imputed interest recorded in the quarter related to the GSA Matter.

We reported a net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.37 per share, for second quarter 2019, as compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share, for second quarter 2018. Our non-GAAP* net income was $2.5 million, or $0.14 per share, for second quarter 2019.

We generated $11.9 million in cash flow from operations for second quarter 2019 and remained debt-free, with cash and short-term investments totaling $145.4 million.

*A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, and an explanation of these measures, is provided in the financial tables at the end of this press release and on our website. An additional explanation of these measures is included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

In fourth quarter 2018, we reduced our total sales by an estimated cumulative adjustment of $4.8 million. We also retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to conduct a comprehensive review of our pricing and other practices under the Contracts (the “Review”). On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the Review. Based on the results of the Review, in second quarter 2019 we reduced our total sales by an incremental $5.8 million (the “GSA sales adjustment”).

⁽²⁾In connection with the GSA Matter, we retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to conduct the Review, which resulted in $0.7 million and $1.2 million in advisory fees incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

⁽³⁾In January 2019, we announced that our Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Simon Raab, would be retiring after 35 years with the company. Effective June 17, 2019, Michael D. Burger was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO succession expenses reflect the additional compensation expense recognized during 2019 in connection with the June 2019 vesting of option awards held by Dr. Raab and our payment of a signing bonus to our current CEO, Mr. Burger.

⁽¹⁾Late in the fourth quarter of 2018, during an internal review we preliminarily determined that certain of our pricing practices may have resulted in the U.S. Government being overcharged under our General Services Administration ("GSA") Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the "Contracts") (the "GSA Matter"). In fourth quarter 2018, we reduced our total sales by an estimated cumulative adjustment of $4.8 million. We also retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to conduct a comprehensive review of our pricing and other practices under the Contracts (the “Review”). On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the Review. Based on the results of the Review, in second quarter 2019 we reduced our total sales by an incremental $5.8 million (the “GSA sales adjustment”) and recorded imputed interest expense of $0.4 million and $0.5 million related to the GSA Matter for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾On April 27, 2018, we invested $1.8 million in present4D GmbH (“present4D”), a software solutions provider for professional virtual reality presentations and training environments, in the form of an equity capital contribution. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we determined it is more likely than not that we will not recover our cost basis in present4D and recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million, which is included in Other expense, net.

⁽⁵⁾In second quarter 2019, we recorded an increase in our reserve for uncertain tax positions of $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position during the quarter.
