BEDFORD, Mass., April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2016.
"Our first quarter results were outstanding. Home Robot revenue grew 15% over Q1 2015, driven by significant growth in the United States following a record Q4 2015," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.
"We also achieved a major milestone in shifting our strategic focus to the Home with the completion of the sale of the D&S business. Based on our Q1 results and our outlook for the rest of 2016, we are reaffirming our full year expectations. We continue to expect 2016 revenue of $630 to $642 million, EPS of between $1.20 and $1.40 and adjusted EBITDA of $80 to $90 million or roughly 13-14% of revenue.
"These expectations reflect our continued confidence that Home Robot revenue will grow 12-13% driven by strong growth in the U.S. and China. The success of the marketing programs we ran during the Q4 2015 holiday season, resulting in year-over-year sell-through of more than 70%, caused U.S. retailers to re-stock their shelves in Q1, ahead of our expectations. We anticipate this momentum to continue throughout 2016 as heavy promotional activities begin again in the second quarter for Mother's Day and Father's Day. As we discussed last quarter, our 2016 expectations include strategic incremental investments, critical to achieving our 3-year financial targets. The investments will impact earnings in 2016 versus last year, as expected, to position the company for accelerated growth and improved profitability in 2017 and 2018. In addition, the remaining expenses associated with the D&S divestiture and our proxy contest are an additional one-time cost that will affect Q2, but our strong Q1 results enable us to reaffirm our earnings and Adjusted EBITDA expectations for the full year.
"We are off to a great start in 2016 and tracking well to our plan."
Financial Results
- Revenue for the first quarter of 2016 was $130.8 million, compared with $118.0 million for the first quarter of 2015.
- Net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $3.9 million, compared with net income of $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2015.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.13, compared with earnings per share of $0.16 in the first quarter of 2015.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 was $14.1 million, compared with $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Business Highlights
- We delivered year-over-year Home Robot quarterly revenue growth in the United States of more than 50% following record sell through during last year's holiday season.
- The overwhelmingly positive response to the introduction of our newest product, Braava jet™, resulted in the highest Day-1 unit sales in the company's history.
- Shortly after the end of the quarter, we closed the previously announced sale of our Defense & Security business, ending a proud chapter in iRobot's history and enabling our intense focus on our home business.
- We executed an $85 million accelerated stock repurchase transaction shortly after the end of the quarter, funded in part by the proceeds from the sale, consistent with our balanced approach to capital allocation. With this latest transaction, we will have returned almost $100 million of excess capital to shareholders during 2016, while investing to grow the business in order to create shareholder value.
- We reaffirm full-year financial expectations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures |
||
In evaluating its business, iRobot considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, merger, acquisition and divestiture expense, net intellectual property litigation (income) expense, and restructuring expense. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.
The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than iRobot, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. iRobot compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
