BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2016.
"Our third-quarter performance was outstanding. We delivered revenue and profitability exceeding our expectations. Based on our Q3 results and the excellent momentum we have going into the holiday season, created by our successful marketing programs, we are increasing our full-year financial expectations for the second quarter in a row. We now expect fiscal 2016 revenue of $650 to $655 million, Net Income of between $38 and $41 million, EPS of between $1.36 and $1.44, and Adjusted EBITDA of $88 to $92 million. These expectations reflect our increased confidence that 2016 growth in the United States, of more than 25%, will drive total consumer revenue growth of approximately 15% for the full year," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.
"As we have said previously, the revenue split between Q3 and Q4 is always difficult to predict due to the timing and shipment of consumer products for the holiday season. This year, our new partner in China requested Q3 delivery of some Braava jet and Roomba orders that we were expecting to ship in Q4. This resulted in higher than anticipated consumer revenue and profitability in Q3.
"We are very excited about our results year-to-date and the outlook for the fourth quarter as our successful marketing programs continue to drive demand generation in the U.S. and overseas. It is very satisfying that, in this transformative year, our current full-year expectations are well above those we provided in February."
Financial Results
- Note: Financial results for the third quarter of 2015 include the Defense & Security business which was sold on April 4, 2016. There are no results for the Defense & Security business included in our financial results for the third quarter of 2016, other than support services provided by iRobot, recorded as other income.
- Revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $168.6 million, compared with $143.6 million for the third quarter of 2015.
- Net income in the third quarter of 2016 was $19.5 million, compared with $12.8 million in the third quarter of 2015.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.70 for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $0.42 in the third quarter of 2015.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 was $35.5 million, compared with $25.9 million in the third quarter of 2015.
Business Highlights
- Year-over-year consumer quarterly revenue growth of 23% was driven by APAC following a very successful launch of Braava jet in that region.
- Domestic revenue grew 13% over Q3 last year, and orders-in-hand plus anticipated Q4 orders support our expectation of substantial year-over-year quarterly growth in Q4.
- We introduced the Roomba 960 and connectivity for Braava jet, expanding our suite of connected products for the home.

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, net merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, net intellectual property litigation (income) expense, and restructuring (income) 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. |
