BEDFORD, Mass., July 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2015.
"Our second quarter results exceeded our expectations. Home Robot revenue was up slightly over last year while Defense & Security revenue more than doubled. Incremental marketing investments we made in the United States and overseas have successfully driven sell-through that we expect to result in second half replenishment orders," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.
"Based on our Q2 results and our outlook for the rest of 2015, we are reaffirming our full year expectations. Although Q2 was above expectations, this was primarily due to timing. Predicting individual quarterly results is challenging, but our over performance in Q2 alleviates some pressure on the second-half ramp. We continue to expect 2015 revenue of $625 to $635 million, driven by Home Robot growth, EPS of between $1.25 and $1.35 and Adjusted EBITDA of $85 to $90 million, or roughly 14% of revenue. These expectations continue to reflect our confidence that Home Robot revenue will grow 11-13% for the full year. We expect all three regions to grow year over year, driven by strong performance in the United States and China.
"It is always difficult to predict the revenue split between Q3 and Q4 due to the timing and shipment of Home Robot products for the holiday season and the inherent lumpiness in our D&S business. This year we expect second-half revenue to be lower in Q3 and higher in Q4, consistent with last year."
Financial Results
- Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $148.8 million, compared with $139.8 million for the same quarter one year ago. Revenue for the first half of 2015 was $266.7 million, compared with $254.0 million last year.
- Net income in the second quarter of 2015 was $7.3 million, compared with $8.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the first half of 2015, net income was $12.0 million, compared with $13.8 million a year ago.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.24 for the second quarter of 2015, compared with $0.28 in the second quarter last year. First-half earnings per share were $0.40, compared with $0.46 in 2014. Q2 2014 EPS and first-half 2014 EPS included a $0.07 benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance relating to certain tax attributes associated with our acquisition of Evolution Robotics.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 was $17.8 million, compared with $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the first half of 2015, Adjusted EBITDA was $30.9 million, compared with $30.4 million a year ago.
Business Highlights
- In the U.S., Home Robot revenue grew 24% year over year driven by sales of Roomba 800, which were slightly higher than expected.
- Internationally, Home Robot revenue in China was up 60% in Q2 2015 over Q2 2014, partially offsetting the expected quarter-on-quarter declines in Japan and EMEA.
- Defense & Security revenues grew more than 100% over last year, due to the delivery of robots and spares under the Canadian contract awarded in Q3 2014.
- iRobot recently announced that Tim Saeger will join iRobot as SVP, Engineering. Formerly VP and GM of Home Entertainment at Bose, he was responsible for all aspects of product and technology development. Tim's expertise will help the company continue to build upon its world-class consumer technology Home Robot organization as well as the design and development of technology and products across the company.

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, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition expense, net intellectual property litigation expense, and restructuring expense. 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. | |||||
