FARO Announces First Quarter Financial Results

LAKE MARY, Fla., April 27, 2022 — (PRNewswire) — FARO® Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO), a global leader in 4D digital reality solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"First quarter revenue came in below expectations as the Chinese government's mandated COVID lockdown in Shanghai prevented shipments from our lone Chinese logistics center at the end of March. Additionally, ongoing supply chain shortages and softer than expected demand in the AEC market further impacted our Q1 revenue," stated Michael Burger, President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the launch of our new Focus Premium Laser Scanner in April and the Quantum Max FaroArm in the second half of 2021, we have refreshed three quarters of FARO's hardware revenue which positions us very well competitively."

Mr. Burger continued, "Our focus remains on providing the market increasing levels of analytics, insights and value from 3D models captured by FARO's hardware products and accessed through FARO Sphere, our recently announced cloud-based environment. While the ongoing uncertainties in the market create risks to near-term results, the long-term opportunity for FARO remains as exciting as ever. Our high accuracy expertise and focus on enabling customers to efficiently and easily manage their assets virtually, positions us well to capitalize on the massive potential of the digital reality market."

* A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial schedules portion at the end of this press release. An additional explanation of these measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information about our financial results that are not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, exclude the impact of purchase accounting intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and other tax adjustments, and are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of our historical operations and financial performance.

In addition, we present EBITDA, which is calculated as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as EBITDA, excluding other income, net, stock-based compensation, and restructuring charges, as measures of our operating profitability. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net loss. We also present Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of total sales.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with relevant period-to-period comparisons of our core operations using the same methodology that management employs in its review of the Company's operating results. These financial measures are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for a measure of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations that should be considered before using these measures to evaluate a company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to varying methods of calculation. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(2) On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $0.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.

(3) The other tax adjustments primarily relate to the impact of certain jurisdictions maintaining a full valuation allowance where benefit is not accrued on U.S. GAAP pre-tax book losses.
