iRobot Reports Second-Quarter Financial Results
Strength in All Major Regions Drives 24% Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth
Increases Full-Year Financial Expectations
BEDFORD, Mass., July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in consumer robots, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
"We delivered strong second-quarter revenue growth of 24% in Q2 2018 over Q2 2017, driven by growth across all major regions. EMEA and Japan saw significant year-over-year growth of 51% and 31%, respectively. EMEA growth was driven in part by the revenue uplift from our acquisition of our largest European distributor, which was closed at the beginning of Q4 2017. Shipments to support Q2 holidays in the United States drove domestic revenue growth of 15% over last year," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.
"Given our Q2 results and our outlook for the rest of the year, including our anticipated product launches in the second half of the year, we are updating our 2018 full-year expectations. We now anticipate full-year 2018 revenue of 1.06 to 1.08 billion dollars, which is year-over-year growth of 20 – 22%, full-year 2018 operating income of 90 to 96 million dollars, and full-year 2018 EPS of $2.30 to $2.50.
"We are continuing to execute against the strategy underlying our 2018 expectations and three-year financial targets which we believe is the most effective way to drive sustainable growth and shareholder value."
Financial Results
- Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $226.3 million, compared with $183.1 million for the second quarter of 2017. Revenue for the first half of 2018 was $443.4 million, compared with $351.6 million last year.
- Operating income in the second quarter of 2018 was $13.4 million, compared with $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. For the first half of 2018, operating income was $38.8 million, compared with $25.7 million a year ago.
- Quarterly earnings per share were $0.37 for the second quarter of 2018, compared with $0.27 in the second quarter of 2017. First-half earnings per share were $1.08, compared with $0.85 in the first half of 2017.
Business Highlights
- Roomba® was selected for the fourth straight year as a featured product for U.S. Amazon Prime Day. Our robots sold out, doubling the Prime Day sales volume as they have each year since the event began in 2015. Roomba® was also featured on Prime Day in EMEA and Japan this year for the first time, and the results in those regions were great.
- We announced a favorable initial determination from the International Trade Commission (ITC) regarding our patent infringement claims recommending an exclusion order barring the importation, into the United States, of certain robotic vacuum cleaners.
- We completed the previously announced stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $50 million of our common stock.
- We announced an increase in our revolving credit facility to $150 million and an extension of the term to 2023, giving the company additional flexibility to execute on the growth strategy.
- We implemented a U.K. principal company to optimize our global operating structure.

| 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, net merger, acquisition and divestiture (income) expense, gain on business acquisition, 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. |
