National Instruments Reports Second Quarter Revenue of $296 Million

AUSTIN, Texas, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced Q2 revenue of $296 million, a 1 percent increase from Q2 2012. In Q2, the company's orders under $20,000 declined 4 percent year-over-year; orders between $20,000 and $100,000 grew 4 percent year-over-year; and orders above $100,000 declined 30 percent year-over-year after growing approximately 130 percent year-over-year in Q2 2012.

GAAP net income for Q2 was $14 million, with fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.12, and non-GAAP net income was $22 million, with non-GAAP fully diluted EPS of $0.18. The company's GAAP EPS was $0.03 below the midpoint of its guidance range and non-GAAP EPS was $0.04 below the midpoint of its guidance range given on April 25, including a $0.01 per share loss on foreign exchange the company did not anticipate. EBITDA, or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, was $35million, or $0.28 per share for Q2.

In Q2, GAAP gross margin decreased to 72 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 73 percent due to lower factory utilization and the significantly lower margin on National Instruments' first RF test application with its largest customer. This application is in a highly competitive space and in an area National Instruments has not served for this customer before. Total operating expenses were down $4 million sequentially and were up 4 percent year-over-year.  Total non-GAAP operating expenses were down $5 million sequentially and were up 3 percent year-over-year.

The company's non-GAAP results exclude the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition accounting for deferred revenue, acquisition-related adjustments and acquisition-related transaction costs. Reconciliations of the company's GAAP and non-GAAP results are included as part of this news release.

National Instruments continued to deliver value to its largest customer and secured orders from this customer related to three different applications that use NI LabVIEW software and the NI PXI platform to rapidly develop a production test solution. In H1 2013, National Instruments received $30 million in orders from its largest customer, and recognized $23 million in revenue from this customer in Q2 2013.

"Although the test and measurement industry had a challenging quarter, we were able to grow revenue while executing disciplined cost management," said Dr. James Truchard, co-founder, president and CEO. "Thanks to the efforts of our employees, we have seen accelerated growth in customer leads and opportunities for our strategic product platforms oriented around LabVIEW despite the fact that customer budgets are tight."

Geographic revenue in U.S. dollar terms for Q2 2013 compared to Q2 2012 was down 1 percent in the Americas, up 2 percent in Europe, up 10 percent in East Asia and down 15 percent in Emerging Markets. In local currency terms, revenue was up 5percent in Europe, up 11 percent in East Asia and down 13 percent in Emerging Markets.

As of June 30, NI had $324 million in cash and short-term investments. The National Instruments Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share on the company's common stock payable on Sept. 3, 2013 to stockholders of record on Aug. 12, 2013.

Guidance for Q3 2013
"Although Q2 was a difficult quarter for our industry and for National Instruments, we believe NI was able to gain market share," said Alex Davern, NI COO and CFO. "On the expense side, we delivered on reducing our spending and are adjusting our future spending plans to align with the industry's current weakness."

National Instruments continues to be conservative in planning for Q3 due to the weak industry conditions. As a result, NI expects revenue for Q3 2013 to be between $265 million and $295 million, a decrease of 3 percent year-over-year at the midpoint of guidance. For perspective, National Instruments recognized approximately $27 million in revenue from its largest customer in Q3 2012 and the company anticipates recognizing less than $5 million in revenue from this customer in Q3 2013.  NI expects gross margins to increase approximately 250 to 300 basis points sequentially in Q3. NI expects total non-GAAP operating expenses to be $186 million, plus or minus $3 million in Q3. The company expects fully diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.16 for Q3, with non-GAAP fully diluted EPS expected to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.22.

Looking out to Q4, National Instruments is adjusting its spending plans to reflect the more difficult industry conditions.  The company currently expects its total non-GAAP operating expenses will decline sequentially in Q4 and that non-GAAP operating expenses will be approximately $181million, plus or minus $3 million in Q4.  National Instruments expects this to result in a significantly improved operating margin in Q4.

Non-GAAP Presentation
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 six-month periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. NI is also providing guidance on its non-GAAP operating expenses and 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 accounting for deferred revenue, acquisition-related adjustments and acquisition-related transaction costs 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 also discloses the company's EBITDA and EBITDA diluted EPS for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012. The company also believes that including the EBITDA results assists investors in assessing the company's operational performance relative to its competitors. A reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA diluted EPS to GAAP net income and GAAP diluted EPS is included with this news release.
