Home Robot Revenue Grew in All Three Regions; Up 15 percent in the Second Quarter Over Last Year
BEDFORD, Mass., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014.
"I am pleased to report a successful second quarter, with results that met our expectations," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot. "Our Home Robot business continues to deliver strong growth on an ever-increasing base in all three geographic regions while our Defense & Security business built a substantial order backlog for delivery in the second half of 2014.
"Additionally, based on increased confidence in Home Robots, we are raising the low end of our full-year revenue expectations for our Home Robot business to $505 million from $500 million. Further, strong backlog growth during the quarter in Defense & Security, coupled with several expected near-term orders, and the overall growth of high probability pipeline has significantly improved visibility for 2014. The increased visibility has clarified that certain order deliveries are being requested by the customers for early 2015, resulting in a decrease of the 2014 revenue expectation for Defense & Security by $5 million to $45 million.
"For the company, we now expect revenue of $555 to $565 million, driven by Home Robot growth of 18-20 percent; EPS of between $1.10 and $1.20 and Adjusted EBITDA of $74 to $78 million, or roughly 14 percent of revenue."
Financial Results
- Revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $139.8 million, compared with $130.4 million for the same quarter one year ago. Revenue for the first half of 2014 was $254.0 million, compared with $236.6 million last year.
- Net income in the second quarter of 2014 was $8.5 million, compared with $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first half of 2014, net income was $13.8 million, compared with $16.6 million a year ago.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.28 for the second quarter of 2014, compared with $0.28 in the second quarter last year. First-half earnings per share were $0.46, compared with $0.57 in 2013. Q2 EPS and first-half 2014 EPS were ahead of our expectations due to a $0.07 benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance relating to certain tax attributes associated with our acquisition of Evolution Robotics. EPS in Q2 and first-half 2013 included a $0.07 one-time tax benefit associated with the prior period sale of government robots to the U.S. military, which were used outside of the United States.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was $16.2 million, compared with $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. For the first half, Adjusted EBITDA was $30.4 million, compared with $32.3 million a year ago.
Business Highlights
- International revenue growth of 19 percent, coupled with domestic growth of 7 percent, fueled a 15 percent year-over-year increase in Home Robot revenue.
- Defense & Security backlog totaling $21 million at the end of Q2 2014 gives us confidence in delivering our full-year Defense & Security expectations.
- Remote Presence business began shipping our Ava 500 Video Collaboration Robot to customers.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, iRobot considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, merger and acquisition expenses, net intellectual property litigation expenses, restructuring expenses and non-cash stock compensation. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.
The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than iRobot, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. iRobot compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
