*Table 1 excludes the results of discontinued operations, which relate
to the company's Surface Inspection Systems Division (SISD) that was
sold on July 6, 2015.
"Cognex had an outstanding year in 2016 that was highlighted by annual
revenue surpassing the half-billion dollar milestone," said Dr.
Robert J. Shillman, Chairman of Cognex. "We reported the highest
annual revenue, net income and earnings per share from continuing
operations in our company's 36-year history. Importantly, these
achievements came during a period of weaker spending in the industrial
markets served by Cognex."
"We are pleased with our performance in 2016," said Robert
J. Willett, Chief Executive Officer of Cognex. "Revenue grew 16%
over 2015 with excellent fall through to the bottom line as evidenced by
our record annual net margin of 29%. We completed four acquisitions that
bring important technologies in the two fastest-growing areas of our
business. And, we introduced new products that substantially expand our
addressable market."
Mr. Willett continued, "While there's uncertainty in the world today,
we're encouraged by the level of demand that we experienced in the
second half of the year. Our fourth quarter results were higher than our
guidance to investors in October and that momentum continued into
January, which leads us to expect strong year-on-year growth in Q1."
Summary of the Year
Cognex reported record financial results for 2016 in a year of sluggish
industrial sector spending. The three largest industries contributing to
revenue—automotive, consumer electronics and logistics—all showed
double-digit growth, as did all of the company's major geographic
regions. Operating income expanded to 31% of revenue from 27% reported
for 2015, even with additional investments in new product development as
well as in sales and support to drive long-term growth.
Details of the Quarter
Statement of Operations Highlights - Fourth Quarter of 2016
-
Revenue for Q4 2016 increased 32% from Q4 2015 and declined 13% from
Q3 2016. Growth year-on-year came from a variety of industries,
including automotive, consumer electronics and logistics. The decrease
on a sequential basis was due to seasonality in the consumer
electronics industry, where revenue was significantly higher in Q3
than in Q4.
-
Gross margin was 79% for Q4 2016 compared to 78% for Q3 2016 and 76%
for Q4 2015. Gross margin increased both year-on-year and sequentially
due to cost improvements and manufacturing efficiencies.
-
Research, Development & Engineering (RD&E) expenses increased 11% from
Q4 2015 and 4% from Q3 2016. RD&E increased both year-on-year and
sequentially due to higher employee-related costs, including the
addition of new engineering personnel from the company's recent
acquisitions, and higher material costs related to development
activities.
-
Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 14% from
Q4 2015 and 2% from Q3 2016. SG&A increased both year-on-year and
sequentially due to higher employee-related costs, including higher
commissions, additional investments in sales resources, and higher
spending on sales demonstration equipment related to new product
introductions.
-
Investment and other income was $2,476,000 in Q4 2016, $2,059,000 in
Q4 2015 and $2,421,000 in Q3 2016. The increase year-on-year was due
to higher yields, a higher average invested balance and an investment
gain. Offsetting these increases were lower benefits generated from
changes to the fair value of contingent consideration related to
recent acquisitions.
-
The effective tax rate was 11% in Q4 2016, 13% in Q4 2015 and 5% in Q3
2016. Excluding discrete tax items, the rate was approximately 18% in
all periods presented (tax adjustments are summarized in Exhibit 2).
Notably, both Q3 and Q4 of 2016 included a discrete tax benefit
related to employee stock options exercised during the quarter. Prior
to Cognex's adoption in Q1 2016 of the new accounting standard related
to share-based compensation, similar tax benefits were recorded as
additional paid-in capital in shareholders' equity on the balance
sheet rather than through the income statement.
Balance Sheet Highlights - December 31, 2016
-
Cognex's financial position as of December 31, 2016, was very strong,
with $745 million in cash and investments and no debt. Cash and
investments increased by $124 million from the end of 2015, the net
result of $182 million in cash generated from operations and $43
million in cash received from the exercise of employee stock options,
offset by $25 million in dividends paid to shareholders, payments of
$14 million to acquire four companies and $47 million spent to
repurchase 894,000 shares of Cognex's common stock. Cognex intends to
continue to repurchase shares of its common stock in Q1 2017, subject
to market conditions and other relevant factors.
-
Inventories decreased by $10 million, or 28%, from the end of 2015 as
a result of ongoing operational improvements and strategic purchases
made in 2015 that were sold in 2016.
-
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $11 million, or
27%, from the end of 2015 due to higher accruals for company bonus and
sales commissions, both resulting from the company's strong
performance in 2016 and increased headcount, and deferred payments on
acquired businesses. The bonus and sales commissions will be paid in
Q1 2017.
Financial Outlook - Q1 2017
-
Revenue for Q1 2017 is expected to be between $122 million and $125
million, which represents growth of 27% to 30% year-on-year. On a
sequential basis, Cognex expects the typical seasonal decline from Q4
to Q1 in factory automation.
-
Gross margin is expected to be in the mid-to-high 70% range.
-
Operating expenses are expected to increase by approximately 10% on a
sequential basis due primarily to higher stock option expense.
-
The effective tax rate is expected to be 18% 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 and
net income from continuing operations (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 does not
intend for non-GAAP financial measures to be considered in isolation,
or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance
with GAAP.
-
The tax effect of items identified in the reconciliation is estimated
by applying the effective tax rate to the pre-tax amount. However, if
a specific tax rate or tax treatment is required because of the nature
of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction where the item was recorded,
the tax effect is estimated by applying the relevant specific tax rate
or tax treatment, rather than the effective tax rate.
