BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2014.
"I am pleased to report an outstanding third quarter, with results that exceeded our expectations, as a number of orders, in both Home and D&S, originally expected in Q4 were received and delivered in Q3," said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot. "Home Robot growth of 19 percent year-over-year drove total company revenue growth of 15 percent in Q3. Revenue in our Defense & Security business exceeded our expectations for the third quarter, and we exited Q3 with $25 million in backlog.
"Based on our visibility into the fourth quarter, we are maintaining our full-year revenue expectations and increasing our EPS and Adjusted EBITDA expectations. We continue to expect revenue to be $555 to $565 million. We now expect EPS of between $1.20 and $1.25 and Adjusted EBITDA of $77 to $80 million, or roughly 14 percent of revenue."

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 and amortization, merger and acquisition expenses, net intellectual property litigation expenses, restructuring expenses and non-cash stock compensation. 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. |
