iRobot Reports Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results
BURLINGTON, Mass., Oct. 24, 2007 — iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT) today announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended September 29.
“Our revenue and pre-tax loss for the third quarter were consistent with those reported in the preliminary earnings release we issued on October 10,” said Colin Angle, chief executive officer of iRobot. “In Q3, we delivered our 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. This revenue growth was achieved in spite of the fact that production by our new contract manufacturer was slower than initially projected. The additional revenue and earnings that we anticipated achieving in the third quarter will now be realized in the fourth quarter. Despite this timing issue, I am confident in our ability to meet increased revenue expectations in the range of $240 million to $250 million for 2007 while delivering pre-tax profit for the year at our previous expectation level in the range of $3 million to $5 million.”
“Yesterday we were notified that the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation’s contracting officer has set aside the contract award to Robotic FX pending a reassessment. We are monitoring this development and will continue to aggressively work to ensure that our interests are protected.”
Financial Highlights:
  Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 grew 16 percent to $63.8 million, compared with $55 million for the same quarter one year ago. Revenues for the first nine months of 2007 increased 18 percent to $150.3 million from $127.8 million for the first nine months of 2006.
  Gross profit for the third quarter decreased to $20.1 million (31.5 percent of sales), compared with $23 million (41.8 percent of sales) in the third quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2007 gross profit totaled $46.5 million (30.9 percent of sales) down from $47 million (36.7 percent of sales) in the first nine months of 2006.
  Stock-based compensation expenses were $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $724,000 in the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2007, stock-based compensation expenses totaled $3.4 million, up from $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2006.

  Net loss in the third quarter of 2007 was $1.4 million compared with a net profit in the third quarter of 2006 of $10.0 million. Net loss in the first nine months of 2007 was $11.7 million compared with a net profit of $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2006.
Business Highlights & Developments:
  iRobot received a delivery order totaling $8.8 million from the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), on behalf of the Robotic Systems Joint Project Office at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., for 40 iRobot® systems including iRobot PackBot® with ICx Fido® Explosives Detection Kit as well as the Army’s first orders for the PackBot 510 robot and more than 300 new, high-performance radios.
  iRobot received two Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) delivery orders totaling $19 million for 128 additional bomb-disposal robots to be shipped to U.S. forces overseas.
  iRobot launched the new iRobot Roomba® 500 series Vacuum Cleaning Robots, its smartest, most powerful and efficient vacuuming robots. Based on customer feedback from more than 2 million buyers since Roomba’s introduction nearly five years ago, iRobot has reinvented its flagship home robot.
  iRobot introduced two new home robots, the iRobot Looj™ Gutter Cleaning Robot and iRobot ConnectR™ Virtual Visiting Robot, further expanding the company’s line of home robots.
  iRobot filed a lawsuit alleging trade secret misappropriation against Robotic FX Inc. and Jameel Ahed, Robotic FX’s founder and president and former iRobot employee. In a separate action, iRobot filed a lawsuit against Robotic FX alleging infringement of two U.S. patents.
  On October 23, 2007, iRobot was informed that the U.S. Army is taking corrective action in response to the company’s bid protest including setting aside the award to Robotic FX and conducting a reassessment of Robotic FX’s responsibility to perform the xBot contract in light of information now in the possession of the contracting officer.
Financial Expectations
“As previously discussed, we share our financial expectations for six-month periods because of the challenge of predicting the precise split between shipments in September and October,” said Geoff Clear, chief financial officer of iRobot. “Our Government & Industrial Robots backlog is solid and we have excellent visibility in this business through year end. Current orders in Home Robots, and strong expectations for re-orders in the fourth quarter, give us the confidence to increase our full-year revenue expectation to $240 million to $250 million in revenue. We still expect our full year pre-tax

earnings to be in a range of $3 million to $5 million in spite of our increased revenue expectation due to several factors that have put continuing pressure on our margins.”
