BEDFORD, Mass., Feb. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 27, 2014.
"2014 was a great year for iRobot. Our Home Robot business increased 19 percent over 2013, driven by growth in both domestic and overseas markets," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot. "All three of our businesses met our expectations and made significant progress against their strategic plans, setting us up well for 2015.
"In 2015 our financial performance will continue to be driven by our Home Robot business. In the United States, we expect strong Home Robot revenue growth in the mid teens while overseas growth will be tempered by macros and currency devaluations. Overall, Home Robot revenue is expected to grow 11 to 13 percent in 2015 and comprise 90 percent of total company revenue. We anticipate Defense & Security will grow for the first time since 2011, and our Remote Presence business will focus on improving the scalability of our solution while holding revenue flat at 2014 levels.
"For 2015, we expect revenue of $625 to $635 million, EPS of between $1.25 and $1.45, and Adjusted EBITDA of $85 to $95 million. Additionally, 2015 will be an important year for iRobot as we begin to roll out and monetize investments we have been making in crucial robotic technology."
Financial Results
- Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $159.3 million, compared with $126.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenue for the full year 2014 was $556.8 million, compared with $487.4 million for the full year 2013.
- Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $9.4 million, compared with $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Net income for the full year 2014 was $37.8 million, compared with $27.6 million for full-year 2013.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.31, compared with $0.11 in the fourth quarter last year. Full-year earnings per share were $1.25, compared with $0.94 last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $19.7 million, compared with $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2014 was $79.8 million, compared with $62.2 million for full-year 2013.
Business Highlights
- Full-year domestic Home Robot revenue growth of more than 20 percent, coupled with international Home Robot revenue growth of 17 percent, drove a 19 percent year-over-year increase in full-year Home Robot revenue.
- Our Defense & Security business delivered results consistent with our expectations, exited the year with a solid backlog, and is positioned for healthy growth in 2015.
- Our Remote Presence business continued to ramp sales of telemedicine robots to our partner InTouch Health for use in hospitals, and Ava 500 Video Collaboration Robots to several Fortune 500 customers.

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 and acquisition expense, net intellectual property litigation 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. |
