FARO Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
LAKE MARY, FL, July 29, 2015 – FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2015.
FARO’s second quarter 2015 sales of $83.8 million were up 2.1% from $82.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding approximately $8.4 million of unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, sales would have increased approximately 12% over the same period of 2014. Net income decreased by $2.2 million, or 34.5%, to $4.1 million, or $0.24 per share, in the second quarter of 2015 from $6.3 million, or $0.36 per share, in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of an aggregate of $1.5 million of one-time severance costs and a write-off of a license related to the Company’s Imager product line, net income would have been $5.6 million, or $0.32 per share.
Gross margin for the quarter was 53.2%, down 2.3 percentage points from the prior year rate of 55.5% primarily as a result of higher production costs and lower Laser Scanner average selling price, offset partly by a higher Arm average selling price on higher sales of the Laser Line Probe HD.
Operating margin decreased to 6.5% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 10.2% in the second quarter of 2014, primarily driven by a decrease in gross margin and higher fixed operating expenses in support of long term growth. The Company continued to demonstrate its commitment to new, disruptive product development by increasing research and development spending by $0.6 million, or 9.0%, to $7.3 million or 8.7% of sales in the second quarter of 2015.
“Second quarter sales were highlighted by strong growth of 18% in the Americas. Our global sales continued to be impacted by foreign currency and weaker capital spending in Asia Pacific. Excluding approximately $8.4 million of currency headwind, our reported sales of $83.8 million in
the quarter would have shown sales growth very close to our long-term mid-teens growth model,” stated Jay Freeland, FARO’s President and CEO. “The FARO Focus3D laser scanner posted more than 18% year-over-year unit sales growth in the quarter, driven by the team executing on its strategic initiatives to penetrate the AEC and law enforcement markets. The new FARO Freestyle3D handheld scanner continues to gain sales momentum and win customer acceptance. In response to our first quarter results, we executed targeted cost reductions throughout the second quarter, while continuing to keep our core commitment of investing in innovation and new product development.”
