Luna Reports Fourth Quarter 2012 and Full Year Financial Results

Revenues decreased 5% from prior year quarter and 9% for the year; Net loss flat year over year

(ROANOKE, VA, March 26, 2013) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

For the fourth quarter of 2012, Luna realized a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. Revenues decreased 5% to $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 from $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of the preceding year, reflecting $0.2 million growth in the Technology Development segment more than offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in revenue from the Products and Licensing segment. Gross profit remained relatively unchanged at approximately $2.7 million for the most recent quarter and for the fourth quarter of last year.

For the year, total revenues decreased 9% to $32.3 million for 2012 compared to $35.6 million in 2011. Products and Licensing revenue was $11.3 million in 2012 compared to $13.2 million in 2011, while full year revenues in the company’s technology development segment declined to $21.1 million in 2012 compared to $22.4 million in 2011. Gross profit decreased to $12.2 million for 2012 compared to gross profit of $13.2 million in 2011. Net loss attributable to common stockholders remained unchanged at $1.5 million, or $0.11 per common share, for 2012 and 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which is earnings before interest, taxes, and non-cash expenses of share-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and warrant expense, decreased to $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and to $1.9 million for full year 2012 from $2.6 million in 2011.

On March 4, 2013, the company announced that it had sold its Secure Computing and Communications (“SCC”) group effective March 1, 2013, a component of the Technology Development segment. Revenues for 2012 included approximately $6 million associated with SCC.

“The sale of our SCC group allowed us to increase liquidity while continuing to focus on the growth potential of our core fiber-optic technologies,” said My Chung, chief executive officer of Luna. “With the completion of this transaction, we have accelerated the monetization of our secure computing technologies and generated cash to mitigate our risk of reductions in government spending.”

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management excludes certain charges and credits that are required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding items that the company believes may not be indicative of its operating performance, because either they are unusual and the company 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. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results and guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.
