(ROANOKE, VA, May 7, 2020) - Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced optical technology, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

“Luna’s first-quarter was a strong start to our year,” said Scott Graeff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Luna. “As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic began spreading more broadly and as a designated essential business, we took swift and decisive action in mid-March. We mobilized the Luna teams to enable us to face the crisis in the most effective way, in order to ensure that we protected our employees, while safeguarding and driving the long-term potential of our businesses.”

Graeff continued, “Our top priority is the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate. In its 30-year lifespan, Luna has encountered many challenges. We believe that we have the financial and operational strength to see us through, recognizing the uncertainty around the duration of COVID-19's impact on





the economy. Based upon what we know today, from a bottoms-up analysis across our businesses, we are currently maintaining the 2020 outlook range we provided on March 5, although trending towards the lower end of that range. We have experienced management leaders, a resilient team of employees, close and collaborative relationships with our customers and suppliers, and a strong balance sheet. We remain laser-focused on our long-term potential and on our foundational purpose, which is to enhance the safety, security and connectivity of people by leveraging our expertise in fiber optic-based technology and the information it provides. Our core priorities have not changed, and we continue to serve our customers with excellence, and produce outstanding and innovative fiber optic-based products."
First-Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary
Financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 marked the 10th consecutive quarter of year-on-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. The first-quarter 2020 results include a full quarter of the business of General Photonics Corporation ("GP"), acquired in March 2019, compared to one month for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Highlights of the financial results for the first-quarter of 2020 are:

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income can be found in the schedules included in this release.

Products and licensing revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased compared to the prior year period, due to the inclusion of the incremental revenues associated with the acquired operations of GP, as well as increased revenues associated with Luna’s communications test products and other legacy products. Technology development revenues increased in Q1 2020, compared to the prior-year period, due to growth in various government research programs.

Operating income improved to $0.4 million in Q1 2020 from an operating loss of $(0.9) million in Q1 2019. The increase in operating income was due to increased revenue and gross profit as well as improved operating expense leverage. Operating expenses increased by $0.3 million in Q1 2020 from Q1 2019 due primarily to additional expenses associated with the acquired operations of GP. Income/(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $(0.7) million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, driven primarily by revenue performance and operating expense leverage.






Net income from continuing operations was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 which included a $1.9 million income tax benefit related to a reduction in deferred tax asset valuation allowances due to the GP acquisition. Net (loss)/income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $(1.1) million, or $(0.03) per fully diluted share, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net income attributable to common stockholders is primarily due to a $1.9 million income tax benefit related to a reduction in deferred tax asset valuation allowances due to the GP acquisition that was recorded in Q1 2019, a $1.4 million loss from discontinued operations (resulting from the resolution of a $2.5 million indemnification claim related to the August 2017 sale of Luna's high-speed optical receivers (HSOR) business) that was recorded in Q1 2020 and the increase in our operating income/(loss) in Q1 2020 versus Q1 2019. The resolution of the HSOR claim resulted in Luna receiving $0.6 million from escrow and the buyer receiving $1.9 million. The resulting loss of $1.4 million has been reflected in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit of $0.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was driven by revenue growth from both Luna’s legacy business, the GP acquisition, and operating expense leverage.

2020 Full-Year Outlook
Luna recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has created evolving and significant macroeconomic uncertainty. Discussions with business leaders and a bottoms-up analysis have determined that our original guidance from March 5, 2020 is still valid. Therefore, it is maintaining the fiscal 2020 outlook originally provided on March 5, although believes financial performance will trend towards the lower end of the ranges:
Total revenues of $81M to $84M
Adjusted EBITDA of $10M to $12M
In terms of seasonality, Luna anticipates that revenues will continue to be weighted to the second half, with the percentage split in the first half of 2020 being slightly below historical trends. In recent years, Luna has recorded approximately 44% to 46% of its revenue in the first half of the year.

COVID-19 Update
On April 14, 2020, Luna provided a COVID-19 related business update, including outlining the initiatives the Company has implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of its workforce. The elements contained in that release remain current as of today.





Luna has a strong cash position and adequate access to capital. Cash and cash equivalents were $26.3 million as of the first-quarter 2020, and Luna continues to have access to its $10 million revolving credit facility. To date, Luna has not implemented furloughs nor reduced employee hours or compensation and does not currently anticipate doing so.

From an operational perspective, the Company provided the following update as of May 7, 2020:
Lightweighting and 5G trends continue to be strong, and Luna does not anticipate those to change. The company continues to believe it is in a strong position to take advantage of those trends.
Luna’s operations are essential and continue to operate at normal capacity with necessary COVID-19 precautions.
Luna has experienced minor effects on its supply chain across its businesses and has been able to manage through these issues. All major component manufacturers are operating and fulfilling Luna’s purchase orders. In cases where there were delays, Luna has been able to rely on its inventory of components to continue production of its products. Luna continues to monitor its supply chain and remediate any issues as they arise. At this time, Luna believes it will be able to procure components necessary to meets it sales needs.
An important part of Luna’s sales effort has been done historically through a series of tradeshows and conferences, none of which are currently taking place. Luna has shifted to a robust online presence, hosting and planning to host a total of six webinars to educate existing and potential customers about its key products. While tradeshows have always been successful in filling the sales pipeline, these webinars have improved engagement between Luna's salesforce and its customers allowing Luna to curate a specific message over a longer and more dedicated period of customer “face time.”
Realizing the complexity of the pandemic and potential long-term implications on its businesses, Luna is committed to being as transparent as possible, to keep its various stakeholders apprised, publicly, of significant operational and financial shifts as necessary.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Luna’s management considers Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding the effect of certain non-cash expenses and items that Luna believes may not be indicative of its operating performance, because either they are unusual and Luna does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business, or they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table following the financial statements attached to this press release.






Conference Call Information
As previously announced, Luna will conduct an investor conference call at 5:00 pm (ET) today to discuss its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The investor conference call will be available via live webcast on the Luna website at www.lunainc.com under the tab “Investor Relations.” To participate by telephone, the domestic dial-in number is 844.578.9643 and the international dial-in number is 270.823.1522. The participant access code is 5876266. Investors are advised to dial in at least five minutes prior to the call to register. The webcast will be archived on the company’s website under “Webcasts and Presentations” for 30 days following the conference call.
