Cray Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Oct 28, 2014) - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. ( NASDAQ : CRAY ) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

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 $159.4 million, compared to $54.4 million in the third quarter of 2013. The Company reported net income for the quarter of $7.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP net income was $10.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the quarter, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $13.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Overall gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2014 was 30%, compared to 38% for the third quarter of 2013. Total non-GAAP gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2014 was 31%, compared to 39% for the third quarter of 2013.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $43.1 million, compared to $38.0 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 were $39.8 million, compared to $36.2 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 September 30, 2014, cash, investments and restricted cash totaled $142 million, compared to $212 million at June 30, 2014. Working capital at the end of the third quarter of 2014 was $293 million, compared to $301 million at the end of the second quarter of 2014.

"We had a strong quarter, led by the completion of one of our largest systems ever in Europe at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts," said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. "We're on a strong run of new contract awards, including winning the largest international contract we've ever been awarded at the Met Office in the UK, and we're on pace to have another record year. We're also in the middle of refreshing our entire product line top-to-bottom in the second half of 2014, with recent updates to our flagship XC supercomputer and CS cluster system, a new data analytics solution in our Urika family and an upgrade to our Sonexion storage solution on the way. While we still have work left to do in the fourth quarter, I'm pleased with where we stand and in our ability to deliver strong results again this year, continuing our growth and momentum in the exciting supercomputing and big data markets."

Outlook A wide range of results remains possible for 2014. A significant portion of our expected fourth quarter revenue is dependent on several large systems which are currently anticipated to be accepted late in the fourth quarter. These acceptances are complex with much work left to do. Assuming successful acceptance of these systems, the Company anticipates revenue to be in the range of $600 million for the year. Non-GAAP gross margin for 2014 is anticipated to be in the 33-34% 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%.

While it is very early in our planning process, for 2015 we expect annual revenue to continue to grow. Revenue is expected to ramp quarterly during the year, with about $50 million in the first quarter. Based on this outlook, we expect to improve our GAAP and non-GAAP operating profit margin for 2015.

Actual results for any future period are subject to large fluctuations given the nature of Cray's business.

Recent Highlights

  • In October, Cray was awarded a $128 million contract to provide the Met Office in the UK with multiple Cray XC supercomputers and Cray Sonexion storage systems. Consisting of three phases spanning multiple years, system deliveries are expected between 2014 and 2017, with major deliveries beginning in 2015.
  • In October, Cray launched the Urika-XA big data analytics system . The Cray Urika-XA system is a pre-integrated, open platform for high-performance big data analytics, providing customers with the benefits of a turnkey analytics appliance combined with a flexible, open platform that can be modified for future analytics workloads. The platform enables organizations to gain insight and capture business value rapidly through advanced analytics, using either the pre-configured Hadoop and Spark frameworks or user-installed analytic tools.
  • In September, Cray launched the latest generation of its high-end supercomputing system and cluster solution, the Cray XC40 supercomputer and Cray CS400 cluster supercomputer . Both are available and shipping now. The Cray XC40 is also available with the Company's new DataWarp technology, which is an applications I/O accelerator that addresses the growing performance gap between compute resource and disk-based storage.
  • In September, Cray was awarded a $26 million contract by the Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program. Scheduled for installation in late 2014, the Cray XC40 supercomputer and Cray Sonexion storage system will be located at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.
  • In September, Cray announced that it was awarded a $13 million contract to provide the PDC Center for High Performance Computing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden with a Cray XC40 supercomputer.
  • In August, Cray announced the launch of the Cray CS-Storm -- a high-density accelerator compute system based on the Cray CS300 cluster supercomputer. Featuring up to eight NVIDIA Tesla GPU accelerators and a peak performance of more than 11 teraflops per node, the Cray CS-Storm system is one of the most powerful single-node cluster architectures available today.
  • In September, Cray announced that supercomputing industry veteran Steve Scott had rejoined the Company as senior vice president and chief technology officer. With more than two decades of supercomputing experience at Cray, NVIDIA and Google, Scott returned to Cray to help define the technology that will drive the Company's next generation of supercomputing and big data solutions.

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.
