nLIGHT, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

Revenues of $69.1 million and gross margin of 29.4% for the second quarter of 2021

nLIGHT, Inc. (Nasdaq: LASR), a leading provider of high-power semiconductor and fiber lasers used in the industrial, microfabrication, and aerospace and defense markets, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

“Growth in all three of our end markets resulted in record revenue in the second quarter, which exceeded the top end of our guidance range,” commented Scott Keeney, nLIGHT’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Further adoption of our innovative high-power fiber lasers led to record revenue from Industrial customers outside of China, and increased global demand for our industry-leading semiconductor lasers resulted in significant growth in Microfabrication. We also increased our Aerospace & Defense revenue by 57% year-over-year, and we continue to make excellent progress in Directed Energy.”

Mr. Keeney continued, “We were pleased with our execution during the quarter. Revenue increased 33% year-over- year and our gross margins improved by more than 400 basis points versus Q2 2020. Despite an increasingly challenging supply chain our business remains strong and we are optimistic about our prospects in the second half of 2021.”

(1) A reconciliation of the non-GAAP information provided here to the most directly comparable GAAP metric has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this release.

Revenues of $69.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 were up 32.6% compared to $52.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. Gross margin was 29.4% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 25.0% for the second quarter of 2020. GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $(7.9) million, or net loss of $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(6.8) million, or net loss of $(0.18) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020. Non- GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $4.4 million, or non-GAAP net income of $0.09 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(0.1) million, or non-GAAP net loss of $0.00 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP information provided here to the most directly comparable GAAP metric have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this release.

Outlook

For the third quarter of 2021, nLIGHT expects revenues to be in the range of $68 million to $74 million, gross margin to be in the range of 26% to 30%, and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $4 million to $7 million.

We have not reconciled our outlook for Adjusted EBITDA because unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains and losses cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted nor can the probable significance be determined at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Investor Conference Call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, Thursday, August 5, 2021

Parties interested in listening to nLIGHT’s quarterly conference call may do so by dialing 1-833-535-2198 (U.S., toll- free) or +1-412-902-6775 (international and toll), with the conference title: nLIGHT Second Quarter 2021 Earnings. The call can also be accessed via the web by going to nLIGHT’s Investor Relations page at http://investors.nlight.net.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release contains non-GAAP financial results, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted. We use Adjusted EBITDA to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it is commonly utilized by us and the investment community to analyze operating performance in our industry. Similarly, we believe that providing non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, is useful to our investors as they present an informative supplemental view of our results from period to period by removing the effect of stock-based compensation expense and other non-recurring items. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are specific to us and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because of differing methods used by other companies in calculating them.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for income tax expense (benefit), other non-operating income or expense, interest income or expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration-related costs, and other non-recurring items as determined by management, as applicable. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net income (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, acquisition and integration-related costs, and other non- recurring items as determined by management, as applicable. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective period plus the dilutive effect of any common stock equivalents during the period in the case of non- GAAP net income (loss) per share, diluted.

Tables presenting the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the reconciliation of GAAP to non- GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP to non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, are included at the end of this press release.
