FARO Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
LAKE MARY, FL, November 1, 2016 - FARO® (NASDAQ: FARO), the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions and services for factory metrology, product design, construction BIM/CIM, and public safety forensics applications, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
“FARO continued to execute on its renewal and reorganization initiatives,” stated Dr. Simon Raab, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our new product drumbeat included the launch of the next-generation FARO FocusS 150/350 Laser Scanners. Strategically, we completed two important acquisitions: Laser Projection Technologies, Inc. and BuildIT Software & Solutions Ltd. These acquisitions broadened our product lines and added new technologies and capabilities that will enhance our competitive position in certain key vertical markets. Our third quarter financial performance was highlighted by a 9.8% increase in sales. We have made excellent progress on all our renewal initiatives. While year-to-date net income increased by 92.5%, it may continue to be negatively impacted by our reorganization initiatives which we expect to complete by mid-2017.”
Nine months ended September 30, 2016
Sales at $233.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, grew 3.4% compared with $226.2 million in the comparable period last year on increased metrology products and global services revenue. New order bookings at $234.9 million, increased by 4.3% compared with $225.2 million in the same prior year period.
Gross margin was 55.3%, increased by 2.7 percentage points over the comparable prior year period due to higher average selling prices, strong service revenue growth, and the effect of a $7.9 million write-down of inventory in the third quarter of 2015.
Operating income was $9.7 million, up 52.1% compared with $6.4 million in the same prior year period, reflecting higher sales and gross margin offset partly by an increase in operating expenses arising largely from increased staffing, compensation and acquisition expenses. Operating margin was 4.1% for the first nine months of 2016, compared with 2.8% in the comparable period last year.
Net income was $7.6 million or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with $3.9 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2015.
Cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 2016 was $28.5 million, up $20.6 million compared with $7.9 million in the prior year period reflecting improved inventory and accounts payable management. As of September 30, 2016 cash and short-term investments totaled $153.3 million of which $92.5 million was held by foreign subsidiaries.
Third quarter 2016
Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were $79.6 million, up 9.8% compared with $72.5 million in the third quarter last year reflecting a significant increase in product sales within the Asia region, a modest product sales growth in the Americas region, and a strong global growth in service revenue. New order bookings were $79.8 million for the third quarter of 2016, up 10.5% compared with $72.3 million for the third quarter of 2015.
Gross margin for the quarter was 53.6%, up 5.5 percentage points compared with 48.1% in the prior year period primarily due to a $7.9 million write-down of inventory recorded in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by lower average selling prices arising from our initiative to reduce aged service and sales demonstration inventory.
Operating income for the quarter was $0.8 million compared with a loss of $0.9 million in the prior year period reflecting higher sales and gross margin offset partly by an increase in operating expenses. Operating margin was 1.1% in the third quarter of 2016, compared with (1.3)% in the prior year period.
Net income for the quarter was $1.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $0.9 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the prior year period.
