Insights

FARO's financial results offer mixed signals that warrant close examination. On one hand, a year-over-year revenue dip of 1% might signal stagnation in growth or potential market challenges. However, improvements in gross margin, from 46.7% to 51.4% and a significant reduction in operating expenses suggest enhanced operational efficiency. This could be indicative of successful cost management strategies that have been implemented.

The net loss position has improved markedly, down from $(1.12) per share to $(0.38) per share and the transition from a non-GAAP net loss to a non-GAAP net income illustrates underlying business strength that GAAP figures do not fully capture due to their inclusion of one-time or non-cash expenses.

For retail investors, the increase in cash flow from operations to $6.6 million is a positive sign as it reflects the company's ability to generate cash from its core business activities. This financial cushion could support ongoing investments or weather economic downturns. The provided outlook, with expected revenues and an improved gross margin, gives a forward-looking expectation which could influence investment decisions.

While FARO's slight revenue decline might raise eyebrows, the tech sector is known for rapid shifts in market dynamics. Investors should be aware that single-quarter performance is not always indicative of a trend. The improved gross margins and trimmed operating expenses could be a result of the company's strategic shifts, possibly reflecting a pivot towards higher-margin products or markets.

Considering FARO's 40-year history and focus on 4D digital reality solutions, their financial health can be impacted by the adoption rates of such technologies across various industries, including construction, manufacturing and public safety. It's important to understand how their core markets are evolving and how well FARO is positioned against competitors in terms of innovation, customer retention and market penetration.

Adjusted EBITDA jumping to $5.6 million from a negative $5.5 million year-over-year is a noteworthy turnaround. An EBITDA margin of 6.6% suggests that FARO is making good strides towards profitability. This performance metric is often used by investors to gauge a company's operating efficiency and potential for future profitability without the noise of non-cash expenses and tax complications.

These financial results, when framed within the broader economic context, suggest that FARO is navigating market headwinds effectively. However, investors should consider the company's outlook for the next quarter, which anticipates a net loss per share of up to $(0.43). This forecast may temper enthusiasm, as it implies that the path to sustained profitability might be challenged by upcoming expenses or a softer market.

  • Revenue of $84.2 million, at the upper end of guidance range
  • Q1 loss per share of $(0.38); Non-GAAP earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.09, above guidance range
  • Cash flow from operations of $6.6 million

LAKE MARY, Fla., May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO® Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO), a global leader in 4D digital reality solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

GAAP net loss of $7.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.6 million, or 6.6% of revenue, demonstrates the progress we continue to make towards our aspirational financial goals. In addition, we again expanded our cash position by generating $6.6 million of operating cash flow in the quarter, driven by profitability and efficiencies in working capital."

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 income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, exclude the impact of purchase accounting intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, and other tax adjustments, and are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our historical operations and financial performance.

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

In our first quarter reporting, we have included non-GAAP total sales on a constant currency basis. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to total sales on a constant currency basis is total sales. We believe constant currency information is useful in analyzing underlying trends in our business and the commercial performance of our products by eliminating the impact of highly volatile fluctuations in foreign currency markets and allows for period-to-period comparisons of our performance. For simplicity, we may elect to omit this information in future periods if we determine a lack of material impact. To present this information, current period performance for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect during the last day of the prior comparable period.

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) 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.


(2) 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. On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Restructuring and other costs primarily consist of severance and related benefits associated with the Restructuring Plan, Integration Plan, and executive transitions.


(3) The Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is calculated by applying a statutory tax rate to Non-GAAP adjustments, including Stock-based compensation, Restructuring and other costs, and Purchase accounting intangible amortization.


(4) When estimating our Non-GAAP income tax rate, we exclude the effect of items that impact our reported income tax rate that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing operating results, including the impact of valuation allowances we are currently recording in certain jurisdictions and certain discrete items such as adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves, as these items are difficult to predict and can impact our effective income tax rate.
