    nLIGHT, Inc. (NASDAQ:LASR), a leading provider of high-power semiconductor and fiber lasers used in the aerospace and defense, industrial, and microfabrication markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.

    "2024 was a transformative year for nLIGHT as our defense business began to scale, with revenue growing 20% year-over-year to $110 million and representing approximately 55% of our overall sales," commented Scott Keeney, nLIGHT's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We made significant progress across multiple large directed energy contracts, while securing new program wins in laser sensing."

    Mr. Keeney continued, "I am optimistic on our business, particularly aerospace and defense, as we head into 2025. We enter the year with good visibility across multiple programs in both directed energy and laser sensing, and combined with record backlog and a healthy balance sheet, we are confident that we are well-positioned for near- and long-term growth in the aerospace and defense market."

    (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 $47.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 were down 8.7% compared to $51.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. Gross margin was 2.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 18.9% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and includes non-routine charges of approximately $6.0 million related primarily to inventory reserves on products for the Industrial market. GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $25.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $13.2 million or $0.28 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $14.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP metrics presented here to the most directly comparable GAAP metrics have been provided in the tables included at the end of this release.

    Outlook

    For the first quarter of 2025, nLIGHT expects revenues to be in the range of $45 million to $51 million. The midpoint of $48 million includes Laser Products revenue of approximately $33 million and Advanced Development revenue of approximately $15 million. nLIGHT expects overall gross margin to be in the range of 13% to 17%, with Laser Products gross margin in the range of 16% to 20% and Advanced Development gross margin of approximately 8%. nLIGHT expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of ($6) million to ($3) 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, February 27, 2025

    Parties interested in listening to nLIGHT's quarterly conference call may do so by dialing 1-800-549-8228 (U.S., toll-free) or +1-289-819-1520 (international and toll), with the conference title: nLIGHT Fourth Quarter 2024 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 metrics presented herein are specific to us and may not be comparable to similar metrics 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 the weighted-average number of 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.
