Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced optical technology, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

"As I reflect on the first half of 2022, I'm pleased with the team's top-line performance and ability to navigate ongoing macroeconomic and market factors," said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. "We achieved double-digit revenue growth for the second-quarter in nearly all of our product lines, and I'm proud of the Luna team for their accomplishments. The team's focus and execution will carry us through the remainder of 2022 and will allow us to achieve growth in each business. This, combined with strong bookings, gives me the confidence to reaffirm our 2022 outlook."

Graeff continued, "We've recently completed several acquisitions and one large divestiture. As with all transactions, we are reviewing expense infrastructure to ensure operational efficiency. The strategic actions that we've recently undertaken to enhance operations, expand our IP portfolio and refresh product lines are gaining momentum. As a result, today Luna is a clear leader and a company fully focused on Enabling the Future with Fiber."

A reconciliation of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest comparable figures under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") can be found in the schedules included in this release.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 19% compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to revenue generated by the Lios acquisition.

Gross margin increased to 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, driven primarily by favorable product mix. Operating loss and margin were $2.5 million and 9% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.0 million and 9% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to our recent acquisitions, partially offset by lower deal and integration costs.

Net loss was $2.4 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EPS was $(0.02) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $0.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The second-quarter 2022 results were impacted by discontinued operations and associated taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million for three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest comparable GAAP figures can be found in the schedules included in this release.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to revenue generated by the Lios acquisition.

Gross margin of $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased from $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher sales. Operating loss and margin declined to $4.8 million and 10% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.6 million and 8% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to our recent acquisitions.

Net income was $7.2 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million, or $(0.02) per fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EPS was $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.05 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

2022 Full-Year Outlook

Luna is confirming the 2022 outlook it originally provided on March 14, 2022, which included the mid-March divestiture of Luna Labs and the acquisition of Lios, and also is providing a third-quarter 2022 outlook:

  • Total revenue of $109 million to $115 million for the full year 2022
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $10 million to $12 million for the full year 2022
  • Total revenues in the range of $28 million to $30 million for the third quarter 2022

Luna is not providing an outlook for net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA, because changes in the items that Luna excludes from net income to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, such as share-based compensation, tax expense, and significant non-recurring charges, among other things, can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of Luna's routine operating activities.

The outlook above does not include any future acquisitions, divestitures, or unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management considers Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS, which exclude certain charges and income that are required by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding the effect of certain non-cash expenses and items that Luna believes may not be indicative of its operating performance, because either they are unusual and Luna does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business, or they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.

Conference Call Information

As previously announced, Luna will conduct an investor conference call at 8:30 am (ET) today, August 11, 2022, to discuss its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

A replay of the conference call will be available on the company's website under "Webcasts and Presentations" for 30 days following the conference call.
