BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in consumer robots, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
"We delivered another outstanding quarter in which total revenue grew 22% over Q3 last year. Based on our Q3 results, and on our Q4 outlook fueled by continued positive momentum in the United States and in EMEA, where growth is accelerating, we are increasing our full-year 2017 financial expectations. The U.S. and EMEA are now expected to grow 40% and 45% respectively for the full year.
"And, we expect 2017 revenue of $870 to $880 million, a 33 – 34% increase over 2016 consumer revenue, operating income of between $55 and $65 million, and EPS of between $1.65 and $2.00, including the impact of our recent European distributor acquisition," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.
"U.S. household penetration of robotic vacuum cleaners is still less than 10%, so there is plenty of runway domestically and even more overseas. With the leading global segment share, at a time when adoption is accelerating, we are in an excellent position to capitalize on the momentum to drive future growth."
Financial Results
- Revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $205.4 million, compared with $168.6 million for the third quarter of 2016.
- Operating income in the third quarter of 2017 was $23.9 million, compared with $27.5 million in the third quarter of 2016.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.76 for the third quarter of 2017, compared with $0.70 in the third quarter of 2016. Third-quarter 2017 EPS included a discrete tax benefit of $0.16 relating to the new 2017 stock compensation accounting standard and $0.08 from an adjustment to the original purchase price allocation for Japan.
Business Highlights
- In the third quarter, the positive impact of our targeted marketing programs in the U.S., EMEA and Japan drove year-over-year Q3 revenue growth of 22%. Third-quarter consumer revenue grew 34% in the United States, 31% in EMEA, and 65% in Japan over Q3 2016.
- We successfully completed the acquisition of our largest European distributor, which we expect will enable us to capitalize on the current market momentum and drive robotic floor care adoption in EMEA.
- We announced an agreement with Micro-Star International Co. representing an early win in an ongoing effort by iRobot to defend and protect its valuable intellectual property.

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, gain on business acquisition, net intellectual property litigation 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. | |||||
