AUSTIN, Texas - October 25, 2018 - National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced Q3 2018 revenue of $346 million, up 8 percent year over year.

In Q3 2018, the value of the company's total orders was up 13 percent year over year; orders under $20,000 were up 5 percent year over year; and orders over $20,000 were up 21 percent year over year.

In Q3, GAAP gross margin was 74 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 77 percent. Total GAAP operating expenses were $211 million, up 6 percent year over year. Total non-GAAP operating expenses were flat year over year at $199 million in Q3. GAAP operating margin was 13 percent in Q3, with GAAP operating income of $46 million, up 23 percent year over year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 20 percent in Q3, with non-GAAP operating income of $68 million, up 50 percent year over year.

For the first three quarters of 2018, GAAP operating income was $111 million, up 26 percent year over year, and non-GAAP operating income was $162 million, up 48 percent year over year.

GAAP net income for Q3 was $43 million, with fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.32, and non-GAAP net income was $60 million, with non-GAAP fully diluted EPS of $0.45. EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, was $65 million for Q3.

"I expect to achieve our target non-GAAP operating margin for 2018 and I am excited by the multi-year growth opportunities we see in areas like 5G semiconductors, electric and autonomous vehicles," said Alex Davern, NI CEO. "We will continue to drive aligned execution through sales, marketing, and R&D to accelerate growth - both organically and inorganically - in the target industries where our platform is most highly differentiated."

"I am proud of our continued progress on growth and profitability. We believe from focus comes growth and with leadership's implementation of our Core Strategic Vision, we have driven alignment to the top priorities we believe will provide the most opportunities for growth," said Karen Rapp, NI CFO. "With the entire company focused in one direction, we have increased operational efficiency and delivered a 49 percent year over year increase in non-GAAP net income through the first three quarters of 2018. We also increased backlog equivalent to 4 percent of revenue this quarter, improving our future visibility."

Geographic revenue in U.S. dollar terms for Q3 2018 compared with Q3 2017 was up 7 percent in the Americas, up 10 percent in APAC and up 7 percent in EMEIA. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, revenue was up 7 percent in the Americas, up 9 percent in APAC and up 6 percent in EMEIA. Historical revenue from these three regions can be found on NI's investor website at www.ni.com/nati.

As of September 30, 2018, NI had $482 million in cash and short-term investments. During the third quarter, NI paid $30 million in dividends. The NI Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share payable on December 3, 2018, to stockholders of record on November 12, 2018.

The company's non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related transaction costs, restructuring charges, and capitalization and amortization of internally developed software costs, tax reform charges and other. Reconciliations of the company's GAAP and non-GAAP results are included as part of this news release.

Guidance
NI currently expects Q4 revenue to be in the range of $360 million to $390 million, which would be a new Q4 record at the midpoint. The company currently expects that GAAP fully diluted EPS will be in the range of $0.35 to $0.49 for Q4, with non-GAAP fully diluted EPS expected to be in the range of $0.46 to $0.60.

Non-GAAP Presentation
In the quarter ended June 30, 2018, NI began moving toward more frequent releases for many of its software products. Specifically, for many of its software development projects, NI started applying agile development methodologies, which are characterized by a more dynamic development process with more frequent and iterative revisions to a product releases features and functions as the software is being developed. Due to the shorter development cycle and focus on rapid production associated with agile development, NI expects that for a significant majority of its software development projects the costs incurred subsequent to the achievement of technological feasibility will be immaterial in future periods and it expects to record significantly less capitalized software development costs than under its historical software development approaches. NI also expects amortization of previously capitalized software development costs to steadily decline as previously capitalized software development costs become fully amortized over the next four years.

As a result, beginning with its non-GAAP metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2018, NI has been excluding the net effects of capitalization and amortization of software development costs from its non-GAAP operating results, along with its previously excluded non-GAAP items, and providing a reconciliation of such non-GAAP results to its GAAP results. NI believes these changes are useful to investors as they provide greater comparability between its R&D spend in future periods. NI also makes available on its website its historical non-GAAP results, excluding the effects of software capitalization and amortization together with other applicable non-GAAP adjustments, for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2005 through June 30, 2018.

In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with GAAP, NI discloses certain non-GAAP operating results and non-GAAP information that exclude certain charges. In this news release, the company has presented its gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income before income taxes, provision for income taxes, net income and basic and fully diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. NI is also providing guidance on its non-GAAP fully diluted EPS.

When presenting non-GAAP information, the company includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results. Management believes that including the non-GAAP results assists investors in assessing the company's operational performance and its performance relative to its competitors. The company presents these non-GAAP results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP, and these results should not be regarded as a substitute for GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability and performance of its business and does not consider stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related transaction costs, restructuring charges, capitalization and amortization of internally developed software costs, and tax reform charges in managing its operations. Specifically, management uses non-GAAP measures to plan and forecast future periods; to establish operational goals; to compare with its business plan and individual operating budgets; to measure management performance for the purposes of executive compensation, including payments to be made under bonus plans; to assist the public in measuring the company's performance relative to the company's long-term public performance goals; to allocate resources; and, relative to the company's historical financial performance, to enable comparability between periods. Management also considers such non-GAAP results to be an important supplemental measure of its performance.

This news release discloses the company's EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The company believes that including the EBITDA results assists investors in assessing the company's operational performance relative to its competitors. A reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP net income is included with this news release.
