iRobot Reports First-Quarter Financial Results
Exceeds Expectations; Increases Full-Year Outlook

BEDFORD, Mass., Apr. 23, 2013 – iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2013.

“We kicked off 2013 with an outstanding quarter. The results and outlook for our Home Robot business are excellent. We are very excited to have begun shipping our RP-VITA telemedicine robot in Q1 and our Defense & Security business delivered solid results,” said Colin Angle, chairman and chief executive officer of iRobot.

“Based on our view of the rest of the year, we are increasing our full-year financial expectations for both revenue and profit. The revenue increase is being driven by better than anticipated Home Robot demand in the United States. Improvements in gross margin due to favorable product mix, successful integration of Evolution Robotics (ER) and tighter operating expense control will each contribute to increased profitability and enable us to deliver on our commitment to profitable growth.”

•
Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $106.2 million, compared with $97.8 million for the same quarter one year ago.
•
Net income in the first quarter of 2013 was $8.4 million, compared with net income of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2012.
•
Quarterly earnings per share were $0.29, compared with earnings per share of $0.02 in the first quarter last year. Q1 EPS this year includes a $0.08 benefit from investment tax credits.
•
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2013 was $15.2 million, compared with $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2012.

Business Highlights

•
Domestic Home Robot revenue growth of 44 percent drove a 14 percent year-over-year increase in quarterly Home Robot revenue. International Home Robot revenue of $61.3 million comprised 66 percent of total Home Robot Q1 2013 revenue.
•
We launched Braava™, our iRobot-branded version of the Mint® robot to select European distributors.
•
Due to the timing of Defense Department orders for spares, service and training (PLR) to support the fleet of 5,000 iRobot unmanned ground vehicles, D&S Q1 revenue was higher than anticipated. In addition, the government announced a $14.4 million order for First Look robots during the quarter which gives us confidence in achieving our full year expectations.
•
We began shipping the RP-VITA to InTouch Health during the quarter. Roughly one dozen of the robots are currently in use in hospitals.

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.
