NATI - NI Reports Record Revenue for a Second Quarter up 14 Percent YOY

Company reaffirms guidance for full year 2022 and increases expectations for full year 2023

  • Record orders for a second quarter, up 20 percent year over year
  • Strong diluted GAAP EPS of $0.09 and diluted non-GAAP EPS of $0.36
  • Cash and cash equivalents of $111 million as of June 30, 2022

National Instruments Corporation (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced Q2 2022 revenue of $396 million, up 14 percent year over year, a record for a second quarter.

In Q2 2022, the total value of the company's orders was up 20 percent year over year. For Q2, year over year orders were up 33 percent in the Americas, up 16 percent in APAC, and up 7 percent in EMEA.

In Q2, GAAP gross margin was 68 percent and non-GAAP gross margin was 71 percent. Total GAAP operating expenses were $247 million and non-GAAP operating expenses were $218 million. GAAP operating income for Q2 was $21 million with non-GAAP operating income of $61 million. In Q2, GAAP operating margin was 5 percent with non-GAAP operating margin of 15 percent.

GAAP net income for Q2 was $12 million and non-GAAP net income was $48 million, with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.09 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.36.

“NI has delivered strong performance over the last several quarters, driven by our highly differentiated technologies and offerings targeted at segments with powerful growth drivers, including electric and autonomous vehicles, wireless communication, and new space technology. We believe our focused strategy is leading to ongoing share gains,” said Eric Starkloff, NI President and CEO. “Momentum continued in the second quarter with orders up 20 percent year over year and revenue up 14 percent year over year. These results bring us increased confidence in achieving revenue growth and earnings per share in line with current consensus estimates."

“We continue to see the benefits of the actions we have taken to increase scale into our business model. Despite the temporary headwinds to gross margin, we have improved diluted non-GAAP EPS by 15 percent year over year in the first half of 2022. Looking ahead, we will continue to sharpen our focus on making intentional investments for growth and on streamlining processes for greater efficiency,” said Karen Rapp, NI CFO. "With many key initiatives underway, we are confident in our ability to deliver on our commitment to non-GAAP operating margin improvement. Even in a potential recessionary environment, we now expect to increase our non-GAAP operating margin by 300 basis points in 2023, followed by 100 basis points of additional improvement each year through 2025.”

As of June 30, 2022, NI had $111 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the second quarter, NI paid $37 million in dividends and repurchased approximately 987,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $39.06 per share. The NI Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share payable on August 29, 2022, to stockholders of record on August 8, 2022.

NI's non-GAAP results exclude, as applicable, the impact of purchase accounting fair value adjustments, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, taxes levied on the transfer of acquired intellectual property, foreign exchange loss on acquisitions, restructuring charges, tax reform charges, disposal gains on buildings and related charitable contributions, tax effects related to businesses held for sale, gain on sale of businesses, and capitalization and amortization of internally developed software costs. Reconciliations of the NI's GAAP and non-GAAP results are included as part of this news release.

Conference Call Information

Today, NI management will host a call with the investment community to discuss the company's financial performance in the second quarter. Investors can listen to the Q2 2022 earnings conference call beginning at 4:00 p.m. CT today. This event will be webcast in listen-only mode. Listeners may log on to the call at www.ni.com/investor-relations under the “Events and Presentations” section and select “Q2 2022 NATI Earnings Conference Call” to participate. The webcast will remain on the company site for 90 days.

Annual Investor Conference

As is our annual tradition, NI management will host an investor conference in September with more details to be shared in the coming weeks. Despite expectations for a weaker macro entering 2023, we believe we have several factors that will drive our performance – our exposure to key growth opportunities and secular cycles, the favorable gross margin impacts as supply chain pressures ease, the growing impact of recurring revenue, and the full year impact of our expense management focus. In fact, our current expectation is for strengthening revenue growth and non-GAAP operating margin growth well above our 100 bps commitment in 2023. We plan to walk through these elements to our model and discuss our 3 year strategic plan at this event.

Non-GAAP Presentation

To supplement NI’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, NI has provided non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP revenue or net sales, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, provision for income taxes, net income, net margin and diluted EPS and non-GAAP guidance for diluted EPS. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results is included in the tables below. The company is not able to provide guidance on its GAAP tax rate or a related reconciliation without unreasonable efforts since its future GAAP tax rate depends on its future stock price and related information that is not currently available. Additionally, certain non-GAAP financial measures presented on a forward-looking basis, such as non-GAAP operating margin, were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the reconciliation could not be performed without unreasonable efforts due to the unpredictability of the amounts and timing of events affecting the items we exclude from non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial information is not meant as a substitute for GAAP results, but is included because management believes such information is useful to our investors for informational and comparative purposes. In addition, certain non-GAAP financial information is used internally by management to evaluate and manage the company. The non-GAAP financial information used by NI may differ from that used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
