FARO Reports Third Quarter 2011 Sales Growth of 43.1% and EPS Growth of 171.4%
LAKE MARY, FL, November 2, 2011 — FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO) today announced results for the quarter ended October 1, 2011. Sales in the third quarter of 2011 increased 43.1%, to $64.8 million, from $45.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. The Company reported net income increased by 176% to $6.4 million, or $0.38 per share, in the third quarter of 2011, from $2.3 million, or $0.14 per share, in the third quarter of 2010.
New order bookings for the third quarter of 2011 were $60.2 million, an increase of $13.4 million, or 28.6%, compared to $46.8 million in the third quarter of 2010.
“Despite challenging economies in several major regions, worldwide demand for FARO’s solutions remains strong, demonstrated by our 43% growth in sales in the quarter. The Americas grew by 43.7%, Europe grew by 53.0%, and Asia grew by 27.4%,” stated Jay Freeland, FARO’s President and CEO. “We had solid revenue growth in all major product lines. In particular, the Focus Laser Scanner had exceptional growth, as sales of this highly disruptive product continued to exceed our expectations. In the third quarter, we increased production capacity and significantly reduced our backlog of laser scanner orders. We now expect to quote and deliver laser scanners within FARO’s standard delivery cycle to meet continued demand growth.”
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 56.1%, compared to 58.3% in the third quarter of 2010 and sequentially flat with Q2 2011, the result of proportionately higher laser scanner sales relative to the Company’s historical product mix.
The Company’s operating margin for the third quarter increased to 15.4%, compared with 6.3% in the third quarter of 2010. The increase was driven by a combination of continued cost containment and substantial operating leverage on the Company’s cost structure.
“We had an exceptional third quarter with 171% EPS growth on a 43% increase in sales. Demand in all end markets continues to be strong. Equally important, our business model is generating excellent operating leverage from the incremental sales of the Focus Laser Scanner and other FARO products,” Freeland concluded.
