AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- National Instruments Corporation (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced Q3 2021 revenue of $367 million, up 19 percent year over year, a record for a third quarter.

In Q3 2021 the value of the company's orders was up 30 percent year over year. For Q3 2021, year over year orders were up 28 percent in the Americas, up 39 percent in APAC, and up 23 percent in EMEA.

Geographic revenue in U.S. dollar terms for Q3 2021 compared with Q3 2020 was up 17 percent in the Americas, up 20 percent in APAC and up 21 percent in EMEA. Historical revenue from these three regions can be found on NI’s investor website at www.ni.com/nati.

In Q3, GAAP gross margin was 72 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 75 percent. Total GAAP operating expenses were $230 million, up 6 percent year over year. Total non-GAAP operating expenses were $209 million, up 10 percent year over year. GAAP operating income for Q3 was $34 million with non-GAAP operating income of $67 million. GAAP net income for Q3 was $27 million and non-GAAP net income was $55 million, with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.20 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.42. Our GAAP diluted EPS and non-GAAP diluted EPS were near the high-end of our guidance.

Additionally, the company announced the acquisition of NH Research, Inc. (NHR), a leader in high power test and measurement applications such as electric vehicles and batteries. The transaction closed on October 19, 2021. NI also announced that it recently entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the EV Systems business of Rosenheim, Germany-based Heinzinger GmbH, a European leader in high-current and high-voltage power systems and this deal is expected to close in early Q1 2022, pending regulatory approval. These acquisitions will expand NI’s portfolio of electrification (EV), battery, and sustainable energy capabilities to provide customers with critical power level signal sensing, capture and analysis.

“We reported outstanding results in the third quarter as momentum continued across our business for the fourth consecutive quarter. The strategic changes we’ve made over the last several years are clearly paying off. Our focus on secular growth opportunities such as wireless communications and 5G, electrification, and space technology, is leading to sustainable customer demand. With our recent acquisitions, we will further accelerate growth and profitability by broadening our reach to customers in the fast-growing area of electrification," said Eric Starkloff, NI President and CEO. “Shortly after taking on the role of CEO in 2020, I committed to a 3-year financial model through 2023. Today, we expect to meet or exceed those expectations in 2022, a full year ahead of schedule.”

"We delivered record non-GAAP operating income for the first nine months of the year, up 44 percent year-over-year. We will continue to be intentional with investments that we believe will strengthen our competitive advantage to make our business stronger and more resilient,” said Karen Rapp, NI CFO. “While we continue to navigate supply constraints, our demand remains strong. Our focus to deliver software-connected systems and data analytics solutions enable the data insights our customers need for future success. We remain confident in our ability to accelerate growth, profitability, and shareholder value.”

As of September 30, 2021, NI had $231 million in cash and short-term investments. During the third quarter, NI paid $36 million in dividends. The NI Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share payable on November 29, 2021, to stockholders of record on November 8, 2021.
