SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Jul 29, 2014) - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (
All figures in this release are based on U.S. GAAP unless otherwise noted. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in the financial tables in this press release. Given the nature of the business, the Company's results can fluctuate dramatically quarter-to-quarter.
Revenue for the quarter was $85.1 million and compares to $84.5 million in the prior year period. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $6.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net loss was $8.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the quarter, compared to $7.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Overall gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 34% compared to 32% for the second quarter of 2013. Total non-GAAP gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2014 was 35% compared to 33% for the second quarter of 2013.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $42.8 million compared to $36.6 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $39.9 million, compared to $35.0 million for the prior year period. The increase in 2014 GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses was driven largely by the Company's investments in big data.
As of June 30, 2014, cash, investments and restricted cash totaled $211.6 million compared to $278.6 million at March 31, 2014. Working capital at the end of the second quarter was $300.5 million, compared to $314.9 million at the end of the first quarter.
"Over the last few months we've been on an incredible run of customer wins in both the U.S. and around the world," said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. "These awards, some of them multi-year in nature, reaffirm our belief that we're in a great position to continue to grow, not only in 2014 but also over the coming years. Our products are competitively strong, with each of our development roadmaps being driven by the continuing convergence of supercomputing and big data we're seeing in the market. We believe we're in a great position to capitalize on this exciting market evolution and to continue to build on our market leadership."
Outlook For 2014, while a wide range of results remains possible, the Company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $600 million for the year and, as previously indicated, to be heavily weighted to the fourth quarter as has been typical in recent years. Revenue is expected to be about $125 million for the third quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin for 2014 is anticipated to be in the mid-30% range. Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the year are anticipated to be about $175 million. Based on this outlook, the Company expects to be profitable on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis for 2014.
The Company's 2014 effective non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be about 10%.
Actual results for any future period are subject to large fluctuations given the nature of Cray's business.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains "non-GAAP financial measures" under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables included in this press release. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures that we have set forth provide additional insight for analysts and investors and facilitate an evaluation of Cray's financial and operational performance that is consistent with the manner in which management evaluates Cray's financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool, as they exclude the financial impact of transactions necessary or advisable for the conduct of Cray's business, such as the granting of equity compensation awards, and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Hence, to compensate for these limitations, management does not review these non-GAAP financial metrics in isolation from its GAAP results, nor should investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. This non-GAAP information supplements, and is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with, or disclosures required by, generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. These measures are adjusted as described in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP numbers at the end of this release, but these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that all of these adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this non-GAAP information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in Cray's SEC filings.
Additionally, we have not quantitatively reconciled the non-GAAP guidance measures disclosed under "Outlook" to their corresponding GAAP measures because we do not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling items such as stock-based compensation, adjustments to the provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, costs related to acquisitions, purchase accounting adjustments, and gain on significant asset sales, as certain items that impact these measures have not occurred, are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the non-GAAP guidance measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact our financial results.
