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
-
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
Luna has a strong cash position and adequate access to capital. Cash and cash equivalents were
From an operational perspective, the Company provided the following update as of
- 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
