iRobot Reports Second-Quarter 2009 Results
Company’s Strong Results Exceed Revenue and Earnings Estimates
BEDFORD, Mass., July 22, 2009 — iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2009. Revenue for the second quarter of 2009 decreased 8.7 percent to $61.3 million, compared with $67.2 million for the same quarter one year ago. Revenue for the first half of 2009 decreased 5.0 percent to $118.3 million from $124.5 million for the first half of 2008.
Gross margin for the second quarter increased to 26.8 percent of revenue, compared with 24.5 percent of revenue in the second quarter of 2008. First-half 2009 gross margin increased to 27.6 percent of revenue, up from 25.6 percent of revenue in the first half of 2008.
Loss per share for the second quarter of 2009 improved to $0.10, compared with $0.18 for the same period a year ago. For the first half of 2009, loss per share improved to $0.18, compared with $0.35 for the same period in 2008.
Adjusted EBITDA improved to $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared with a loss of $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the first half of 2009, Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $0.1 million from $10.2 million in the first half of 2008.
“We delivered revenue and profit results for the second quarter at the top end of expectations in a very challenging environment,” said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot. “Adjusted EBITDA far exceeded expectations and represented nearly a $6 million improvement over last year’s results. The most profound change over the course of the last year has been our focus on driving operating cash flow. Over the past year we have generated operating cash flow of $31 million and improved our cash position by $21 million to nearly $51 million at the end of the second quarter.
“Based on our performance through the first half, we are narrowing the range of our expectations for full-year revenue and reaffirming our expectations for earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA. Continuing uncertainty about retail demand during the second half of the year and the potential impact on defense spending of the government’s actions to fund the U.S. economic recovery makes us cautious,” Angle concluded.

  International home robot revenue in the second quarter of 2009 increased 9 percent from the second quarter of 2008 and comprised more than half of total home robot revenue in the quarter.
  Government & Industrial revenue was generated primarily from the sale of the iRobot PackBot 510 with FasTac Kit. During the quarter, the first PackBot 510 EOD’s with advanced vision and surveillance capabilities were shipped. The first ten small unmanned ground vehicles, SUGV 310’s (mini-EOD), were also delivered to the Army.
  In the first half of 2009, operating cash flow was $11.9 million, compared with $0.2 million in the first half of 2008, as aggressive working capital management led to a $14.7 million reduction of inventory versus last year.

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, 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.
