"Having been at FARO for a full quarter now, I believe we can deliver long-term sales and profit growth. FARO's product roadmap, broad customer base and market position create the foundation for a much more customer focused and scalable sales model. With those goals in mind, we have augmented our management team and made significant progress on our strategic and tactical plans," stated Michael Burger, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "I am not satisfied with our current financial performance, notwithstanding the soft macro environment.  However, I am confident we will be successful in the implementation of our plans to enhance shareholder value."

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Summary
Total sales were $90.5 million for third quarter 2019, as compared with $99.7 million for third quarter 2018. The decrease was a result of continuing demand softness in the Asian market due primarily to the uncertainty surrounding ongoing trade disputes and the outlook for the industrial manufacturing sector.

Product sales were $63.6 million, down 16% when compared to $75.8 million in the third quarter 2018. Service sales were $26.9 million, up 13% when compared to $23.9 million in the third quarter 2018. New order bookings were $94.8 million for the third quarter 2019, down 6% as compared to $100.5 million for the third quarter 2018.

Gross margin was 56.1% for the third quarter 2019, as compared to 50.8% for the same prior year period. Non-GAAP gross margin was 56.4% for the third quarter 2019 compared to 55.8% for the third quarter 2018.

Loss from operations was $5.9 million for the third quarter 2019, as compared to loss from operations of $2.7 million for the third quarter 2018, driven by the lower demand environment. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $0.1 million for the third quarter 2019.

Net loss was $6.2 million, or $0.36 per share, for the third quarter 2019, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.15 per share, for the third quarter 2018. Non-GAAP net loss was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, for the third quarter 2019.

* 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". 

The Company's cash and short-term investments decreased modestly to $144.0 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2019, and the Company remained debt-free.

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 total sales, non-GAAP total sales by reporting segment, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP (loss) income from operations, non-GAAP other expense, net, non-GAAP net (loss) income and non-GAAP net (loss) income per share, exclude the GSA sales adjustment (as defined in the tables below), the impact of purchase accounting intangible amortization expense, stock-based compensation, advisory fees incurred related to the GSA Matter (as defined in the tables below), imputed interest expense recorded related to the GSA Matter, costs incurred in connection with our executive officer transitions, including severance costs, sign-on bonuses and relocation costs, the charge increasing our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, the impairment charge related to our equity investment in present4D GmbH, changes in our reserve for uncertain tax positions due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position and return-to-provision adjustments identified in the preparation of our 2018 U.S. tax return 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 income (loss) before interest (income) expense, net, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as EBITDA, excluding loss on foreign currency transactions, the GSA sales adjustment, stock-based compensation, advisory fees incurred related to the GSA Matter, costs incurred in connection with our executive officer transitions, including severance costs, sign-on bonuses and relocation costs, the charge increasing our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory and the impairment charge related to our equity investment in present4D GmbH, as a measure of our operating profitability.  The most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). 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.

Late in the fourth quarter of 2018, during an internal review we preliminarily determined that certain of our pricing practices may have resulted in the U.S. Government being overcharged under our General Services Administration ("GSA") Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the "Contracts") (the "GSA Matter"). In fourth quarter 2018, we reduced our total sales by an estimated cumulative adjustment of $4.8 million. We also retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to conduct a comprehensive review of our pricing and other practices under the Contracts (the "Review"). On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the Review. Based on the results of the Review, in second quarter 2019 we reduced our total sales by an incremental $5.8 million (the "GSA sales adjustment") and recorded imputed interest expense of $0.1 million and $0.6 million related to the GSA Matter for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.



(2)

We exclude stock-based compensation, which is non-cash, from the non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that such exclusion provides a better comparison of results of ongoing operations for current and future periods with such results from past periods. This adjustment includes accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with the transition of our prior executives totaling $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.



(3)

During the third quarter of 2018, we performed an analysis of our inventory reserves in connection with our recent new product introductions and acquisitions and recorded a charge of $4.7 million, or approximately 5% of total inventory, increasing our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based on the determination that quantities on-hand for certain legacy products exceeded our revised sales projections.



(4)

In connection with the GSA Matter, we retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to conduct the Review, which resulted in $1.2 million in advisory fees incurred during the first nine months of 2019.



(5)

On April 27, 2018, we invested $1.8 million in present4D GmbH ("present4D"), a software solutions provider for professional virtual reality presentations and training environments, in the form of an equity capital contribution. During the second quarter of 2019, we determined it is more likely than not that we will not recover our cost basis in present4D and recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million, which is included in Other expense, net.



(6) 

Driven primarily by return-to-provision adjustments identified in the preparation of our 2018 U.S. tax return and changes in our reserve for uncertain tax positions due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position.
