*Table 1 does not include the financial results of the company's Surface
Inspection Systems Division (SISD), which was sold on July 6, 2015, or
the related after-tax gain reported from the transaction.
"Our results for Q3 2015 were quite good," said Dr.
Robert J. Shillman, Chairman of Cognex. "We reported our third best
quarterly revenue, net income and earnings per share in our company's
34-year history, all from continuing operations. Normally, I would say
that I am ‘very pleased' with these results, but I'm not because of the
negative comparisons, poor both year-on-year and sequentially due to the
fact that those were our best and second best quarters."
Robert
J. Willett, Chief Executive Officer of Cognex, said, "At Cognex we
have a saying, ‘Good is not good enough; excellence is expected.'
Although Q3 was good, it was not good enough. During the quarter, we
experienced a slowdown in demand from customers in Asia and in the
automotive industry, globally. As a result, we are more cautious about
our revenue outlook in the near term."
Details of the Quarter
Statement of Operations Highlights - Third Quarter of 2015
-
Revenue for Q3 2015 decreased 30% from Q3 2014 and 25% from Q2 2015
due to substantially lower revenue from the consumer electronics
industry, where large projects drove revenue to a record level in Q3
2014 and to the second highest level in Q2 2015. In constant currency,
revenue decreased 27% year-on-year and 25% sequentially.
-
Gross margin was 76% for both Q3 2015 and Q3 2014 and 79% for Q2 2015.
The decline on a sequential basis was because Q3 included fewer
software-intensive projects and higher support services than in Q2.
-
Research, Development & Engineering (RD&E) expenses decreased 3% from
Q3 2014 and 7% from Q2 2015. Cognex's continued investment in
engineering resources was offset by a lower bonus accrual. In constant
currency, RD&E increased 1% year-on-year and decreased 7% sequentially.
-
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 18% from
Q3 2014 and 17% from Q2 2015. On a year-on-year basis, Cognex's
investment in its sales and support organization was offset by a lower
bonus accrual, commissions, sales demonstration equipment and spending
on marketing initiatives. On a sequential basis, costs declined due to
the resolution of all outstanding patent litigation and lower bonus
accruals, commissions, sales demonstration equipment and travel. In
constant currency, SG&A decreased 12% year-on-year and 17%
sequentially.
-
The tax rate was 12% in Q3 2015, 16% in Q3 2014 and 17% in Q2 2015.
Excluding discrete tax items, the rate was 17% in Q3 2015 and Q2 2015
and 18% in Q3 2014 (tax adjustments are summarized in Exhibit 2).
-
On July 6, 2015, Cognex sold its Surface Inspection Systems Division
(SISD) in order to focus its efforts on discrete manufacturing, where
the company sees stronger long-term growth opportunities. SISD's
financial results prior to the date of sale have been restated as
"Income from Discontinued Operations." In Q3 2015, Cognex reported,
also as "Income from Discontinued Operations," an after-tax gain from
the sale of SISD of $78.3 million (the pre-tax gain was $125 million).
Balance Sheet Highlights - October 4, 2015
-
Cognex's financial position as of October 4, 2015, was very strong,
with no debt and $593 million in cash and investments. In Q3 2015,
Cognex spent $90.5 million to repurchase its common stock (2.5 million
shares were repurchased at an average price of $36.41 per share) and
paid out $6 million in dividends to shareholders.
-
Accounts receivable as of October 4, 2015 increased by $31 million, or
77%, from the end of 2014. The increase relates to large orders in
2015, which Cognex expects to collect before year-end.
-
Inventory increased by $10.6 million, or 36%, from the end of 2014 due
to strategic purchases and new product introductions.
-
The assets and liabilities of SISD, which was sold on July 6, 2015,
were reported as "Held for Sale" at December 31, 2014.
Financial Outlook - Q4 2015
-
Cognex expects revenue for Q4 2015 to be between $94 million and $97
million, which ranges from flat to up 3% compared to Q4 2014 in
constant currency. Cognex expects its growth rate in Q4 to be
negatively impacted by deterioration in the industrial markets the
company serves.
-
Gross margin is expected to be in the mid-70% range.
-
Operating expenses are expected to increase by approximately 5% on a
sequential basis.
-
The effective tax rate is expected to be 17.5% before discrete tax
items.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
-
Exhibit 2 of this news release includes a reconciliation of certain
financial measures from GAAP to non-GAAP. Cognex believes these
non-GAAP financial measures are helpful because they allow investors
to more accurately compare Cognex results over multiple periods using
the same methodology that management employs in its budgeting process
and in its review of Cognex's operating results. In particular,
non-GAAP presentations exclude the following: (1) stock option expense
for the purpose of calculating non-GAAP adjusted operating income
(because these expenses have no current effect on cash or the future
uses of cash, and they fluctuate as a result of changes in Cognex's
stock price), and (2) certain one-time discrete events, such as tax
adjustments. Cognex also uses results on a constant-currency basis as
one measure to evaluate performance. Constant-currency information
compares results between periods as if the exchange rates had remained
constant period-over-period. Cognex does not intend for non-GAAP
financial measures to be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute
for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP.
