iRobot Reports Third-Quarter Financial Results
Provides mid-high teen preliminary revenue growth estimate for 2014

BEDFORD, Mass., October 22, 2013 - iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 28, 2013.

“I am pleased to report that we delivered Q3 results in line with our expectations. We saw strong growth in our Home Robot business, and are excited to announce a next generation home robot for the fourth quarter. Overseas, strong demand in Asia continued and we are seeing signs of recovery in Europe. We shipped additional RP-VITA robots to InTouch Health, while our Remote Presence unit gained further traction in the video collaboration market. And, our Defense & Security business performed as expected,” said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.

“Our businesses continue to perform in line with the expectations we laid out in Q1. Accordingly we are narrowing our full year 2013 expectation ranges to: revenue of between $485 and $490 million, EPS of $0.90 to $0.95 and Adjusted EBITDA of $58 to $61 million.

“Based on our robust product pipeline and expectations over the next three years, we continue to expect to achieve by 2016:

•Mid-high teen revenue CAGR;
•High teen Adjusted EBITDA margin; and,
•High single digit Operating Cash Flow margin.

For 2014, our preliminary revenue expectations are for mid-high teen growth, consistent with the financial targets.”

Financial Results

•
Revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $124.5 million, compared with $126.3 million for the same quarter one year ago. Revenue for the first nine months of 2013 was $361.1 million compared with $335.6 million for the first nine months one year ago.
•
Net income in the third quarter of 2013 was $7.8 million, compared with $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months, net income was $24.5 million, compared with $23.2 million a year ago.
•
Quarterly earnings per share were $0.26, compared with $0.54 in the third quarter last year. Nine-month earnings per share were $0.84 in 2013, compared with $0.82 for the first nine months of 2012.




•
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013 was $17.2 million, compared with $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013 Adjusted EBITDA was $49.4 million, compared with $51.5 million for the same period a year ago.
•
During the third quarter of 2012, there were a number of items recorded, one of which resulted in a $7.7 million revenue increase. The positive net impact of all these items was $0.10 in earnings per share and $5.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA.
.
Business Highlights

•
Home Robot revenue increased 16 percent in Q3 2013, over last year, driven by strong growth in Japan.
•
Defense & Security results met our Q3 expectations. While the U.S. government shutdown hampered our efforts in both the domestic and international markets we continue to expect to deliver full year Defense & Security revenue of roughly $50 million.
•
We are in discussions to sign our first Cisco distributor for the AVA 500 video collaboration robot and plan to be in full beta with three external users for the product by early December.

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.
