FARO Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

Rhea-AI Summary

FARO Technologies has released its Q2 2024 financial results. The company reported revenue of $82.1 million, a 7% decline YoY. The gross margin was 54.6%, with a non-GAAP gross margin of 55.0%, both above guidance. The GAAP net loss was $0.5 million or $(0.03) per share, but non-GAAP EPS was $0.18. Cash flow from operations reached $4.2 million.

Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, FARO achieved adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million, 10.3% of revenue. Operating expenses fell to $43.0 million from $58.7 million YoY. The company also holds $97.9 million in cash and equivalents.

For Q3 2024, FARO anticipates revenue between $76 and $84 million, with a gross margin of 53.0% to 54.5%. Operating expenses are expected to range from $45 to $47 million.

Positive

• Gross margin increased to 54.6% from 37.8% YoY.
• Non-GAAP EPS of $0.18, above guidance.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million, 10.3% of revenue.

Negative

• Revenue declined by 7% YoY.
• GAAP net loss of $0.5 million.

Financial Analyst

FARO's Q2 results show mixed signals. While revenue declined 7% year-over-year to $82.1 million, profitability improved significantly. Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 55.0% from 38.7% last year, exceeding guidance. The company achieved non-GAAP EPS of $0.18, a notable turnaround from a loss of $0.57 per share in Q2 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA of $8.4 million (10.3% of revenue) is particularly impressive, surpassing full-year 2023 adjusted EBITDA in just the first half of 2024. This demonstrates strong operational improvements and cost management. However, the revenue decline amid a difficult macroeconomic environment remains a concern.

For Q3, FARO expects revenue between $76-84 million and non-GAAP EPS ranging from a $0.01 loss to $0.19 profit. This guidance suggests continued margin strength but persistent top-line challenges. Investors should monitor FARO's ability to return to revenue growth while maintaining profitability improvements.

Market Research Analyst

FARO's results reflect broader trends in the industrial technology sector. The company's revenue decline aligns with softening demand in manufacturing and construction, key end-markets for FARO's 3D measurement and imaging solutions. However, FARO's significant margin expansion and profitability turnaround demonstrate effective execution of its operational excellence initiatives.

The company's focus on multi-year value creation activities and organic growth plans is promising, but success will depend on market conditions and FARO's ability to innovate in 4D digital reality solutions. The strong cash position of $97.9 million provides flexibility for investments in growth initiatives.

FARO's performance relative to the broader market is noteworthy. While many industrial technology firms are struggling with both revenue and margins, FARO has managed to substantially improve profitability despite top-line pressure. This positions the company well for potential market recovery, but investors should remain cautious about macroeconomic headwinds affecting demand.

• Revenue of $82.1 million
• Gross margin of 54.6%; Non-GAAP gross margin 55.0%, above guidance range
• Loss per share of $(0.03); Non-GAAP earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.18, above guidance range
• Cash flow from operations of $4.2 million

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 (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) 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.

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.

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, non-recurring Inventory reserve charges, and Purchase accounting intangible amortization and fair value adjustments. In addition, when estimating our Non-GAAP income tax rate, we exclude the impact 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. Specifically, Other tax adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were comprised of $3.6 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $0.3 million related to other discrete items. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, Other tax adjustments were comprised of $0.8 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $0.3 million related to other discrete items. In 2023, Other tax adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were comprised of $9.2 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $5.3 million related to other items, including equity based compensation book to tax differences, non-GAAP adjustments impact on Global intangible low-taxed income and Prepaid tax on intercompany profit. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, Other tax adjustments were comprised of $4.6 million related to the impact of valuation allowance adjustments and $3.4 million related to other items, including equity based compensation book to tax differences, non-GAAP adjustments impact on Global intangible low-taxed income and Prepaid tax on intercompany profit.
