FARO Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

LAKE MARY, Fla., April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO® (Nasdaq: FARO), a global leader of 3D measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D Metrology, AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction), and Public Safety Analytics markets, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

"First quarter demand reflected historical seasonality combined with an ongoing but improving pandemic demand impact that we believe will continue to improve throughout 2021," stated Michael Burger, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Once demand returns to normalized pre-pandemic levels, we believe our new cost structure will enable the sustained achievement of our success model of 20% EBITDA margins."

Mr. Burger continued, "While demand recovers, we remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives including the alignment of our hardware and software development activities to add value to our customer's workflows and create long-term product differentiation in our target markets."

First Quarter 2021 Financial Summary
2021 first quarter sales of $76.3 million compare with $79.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. However, new order bookings in the first quarter at $80.6 million were up 3% over the preceding year. The slight decline in sales for the quarter is the result of the economic effect of Covid pandemic which is still in the recovery stage. Sequentially, sales and bookings compared with the fourth quarter 2020 were lower by 18% and 15%, respectively, reflecting normal seasonality in our business.

Gross margin was 52.9% for the first quarter 2021, as compared to 55.2% for the same prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin was 53.0% for the first quarter 2021 compared to 55.5% for the first quarter 2020. The annual decrease in gross margin was primarily a result of changes in product mix and lower sales resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating expense, was $46.8 million for the first quarter 2021, compared to $60.4 million for the same prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expense was $42.8 million for the first quarter 2021 compared to $44.3 million for the first quarter 2020.

Net loss was $3.2 million, or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter 2021, as compared to a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.84 per share, for the first quarter 2020. Non-GAAP net loss was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share, for the first quarter 2021 compared to Non-GAAP net loss of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, for the first quarter 2020. 

Adjusted EBITDA was $0.4 million, or 0.5% of total sales, for the first quarter of 2021 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million, or 3.9% of total sales, for the first quarter of 2020.

The Company's cash and short-term investments decreased $15.7 million to $170.0 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2021, and the Company remained debt-free. 

* A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. An additional explanation of these measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about our financial results that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP other expense, net, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, exclude the impact of purchase accounting intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation, imputed interest expense recorded related to the GSA Matter, restructuring charges, and other tax adjustments, and are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our historical operations and financial performance.

In addition, we present Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax benefit and depreciation and amortization, excluding other (income) expense, net, stock-based compensation, and restructuring charges, as measures of our operating profitability. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss. We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Non-GAAP total sales. 

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with relevant period-to-period comparisons of our core operations using the same methodology that management employs in its review of the Company's operating results. These financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate a company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to varying methods of calculation. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(1) Late in the fourth quarter of 2018, during an internal review we preliminarily determined that certain of our pricing practices may have resulted in the U.S. Government being overcharged under our General Services Administration ("GSA") Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the "Contracts") (the "GSA Matter"). In the first quarter 2020 we recorded imputed interest expense of $0.1 million related to the GSA Matter. Effective as of February 25, 2021, as a result of the review, we entered into a settlement agreement with the GSA and have paid in full and final satisfaction of any and all claims, causes of actions, appeals and the like, including damages, costs, attorney's fees and interest arising under or related to the GSA Matter.

(2) We exclude stock-based compensation, which is non-cash, from the non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that such exclusion provides a better comparison of results of ongoing operations for current and future periods with such results from past periods.

(3) On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, during the first quarters 2020 and 2021 we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $13.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.
