AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2022 third quarter ended October 30, 2021.

CEO Commentary

Gregory A. Woods, AstroNova’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Orders were strong again this quarter, as demand for our products continued to expand. Although sales were somewhat hampered by supply chain challenges affecting both segments of our business, total revenue nevertheless increased 3% year-over-year, as the ongoing recovery of the commercial aviation market helped drive double-digit growth in our Test & Measurement segment. In the Product Identification segment, in-person tradeshow activity continued to pick up in the quarter, as we demonstrated our latest printing and labeling products at major industry events including PACK EXPO in the U.S. and FACHPACK, the European trade fair for packaging, technology and processing.

Business Outlook

“Third-quarter bookings increased 16% to $32.3 million, highlighting strong demand trends heading into the final quarter of the year,” Woods continued. “Based on these trends and our expanding backlog, we believe we are well positioned for sequential and year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.”

Q3 FY 2022 Operating Segment Results

Product Identification segment revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $21.9 million compared with $22.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2021. Segment operating income was $1.8 million, or 8.3% of revenue, compared with $3.5 million, or 15.4% of revenue, in the prior year.

Test & Measurement segment revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 35.4% to $6.9 million from $5.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2021. The Test & Measurement segment recorded operating income of $0.8 million, or 12.2% of revenue, compared with a segment operating loss of $0.8 million, or a loss of 14.7% of revenue, in the comparable period of fiscal 2021.

Q3 FY 2022 Results Summary

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $28.9 million, up 3.0% compared with $28.0 million in the year-earlier period.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $10.4 million, or 36.0% of revenue, compared with $9.7 million, or 34.7% of revenue, in the same period of fiscal 2021. The increase compared with the same quarter last year reflects higher revenue and the impact of favorable product mix.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $10.1 million, compared with $9.3 million in the third quarter fiscal 2021, primarily reflecting investments in Research & Development and marketing expenses to support the business.

On a GAAP basis, AstroNova reported a net loss of $425,000, or $0.06 per share, which includes costs of $0.5 million (after-tax) associated with the write-off of the Company’s legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. During the quarter, AstroNova completed the initial transition to a new global ERP system. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the ERP write-off, net income was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $12,000, or $0.00 per share.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $0.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $1.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. Third-quarter fiscal 2022 EBITDA, excluding ERP write-off costs, was $0.7 million, or 2.4% of revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA further adjusted for share-based compensation, was $0.7 million, or 2.5% of revenue, and $1.1 million, or 3.8% of revenue, excluding ERP write-off costs. This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million, or 8.2% of revenue, in the same period of the prior year.

Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding ERP write-off costs, EBITDA excluding ERP write-off costs and CARES Act benefits, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding ERP write-off costs, and Adjusted EBITDA excluding ERP write-off costs and CARES Act benefits are non-GAAP financial measures explained in greater detail below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Please refer to the financial reconciliation table included in this news release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the closest comparable GAAP measures for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020.

Bookings for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $32.3 million, compared with $27.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Backlog at October 30, 2021 was $26.8 million versus $23.2 million as of October 31, 2020.
