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, 2021.

"I couldn't be more thrilled about delivering record revenue, despite challenges such as a very difficult supply chain environment, all while integrating the largest acquisition in the company's history," said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. "As I mentioned on our last earnings call, 2021 marks another inflection point of growth. We continue to invest in our business as we build for Luna's future, including adding several experienced executives to my team this quarter. These professionals each have track records in growing larger public companies. We remain excited about Luna's strategy and future, which is why we are reaffirming the guidance that we first provided in March.”

Lightwave revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to acquisitions and strength in the telecommunications, aerospace and defense markets. Luna Labs revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year period, due to growth in various government research projects.

Gross margin decreased to 50% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 51% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, driven primarily by lower gross margin in Luna's Lightwave division. Operating income/(loss) and margin declined to $(1.0) million and (4)% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.8 million and 10% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to $1.0 million integration and transaction costs, as well as $0.5 million of amortization of intangible assets and inventory step-up related to Luna's recently completed acquisitions and its continuing portfolio activities.

Net loss was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EPS was $0.06 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by lower income from continuing operations.

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

Lightwave revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to acquisitions and increased revenues from both sensing and communication test businesses. Luna Labs revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the prior-year period, due to growth in various government research projects.

Gross margin of 50% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was flat compared to 50% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Operating income/(loss) and margin declined to $(1.8) million and (3)% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.2 million and 6% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to $1.9 million integration and transaction costs, as well as $1.0 million of amortization of intangible assets and inventory step-up related to Luna's recently completed acquisitions and its continuing portfolio activities.

Net loss was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EPS was $0.10 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.09 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

2021 Full-Year Outlook

Luna is reaffirming its full-year guidance:

  • Total revenues of $122 million to $127 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million to $19 million

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Luna is not providing an outlook for net income/(loss), which is the most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("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, which excludes certain charges and credits 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 5:00 pm (ET) today to discuss its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The investor conference call will be available via live webcast on the Luna website at www.lunainc.com under the tab “Investor Relations.” To participate by telephone, the domestic dial-in number is 844.578.9643 and the international dial-in number is 270.823.1522. The participant access code is 2326659. Investors are advised to dial in at least five minutes prior to the call to register. The webcast will be archived on the company’s website under “Webcasts and Presentations” for 30 days following the conference call.
