"The team at TASER International is executing extremely well across the organization and continuing to achieve results above our expectations," said Rick Smith, TASER chief executive officer.  "The recently announced acquisitions of Tactical Safety Responses and MediaSolv Solutions are important stepping stones in our long-term strategy to transform TASER and Axon into the premier, global technology provider to law enforcement."

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights:

  • Net sales were $46.7 million in the quarter, an increase of $9.5 million, or 25.7%, compared to second quarter 2014 net sales of $37.2 million. International sales were $8.0 million in the quarter, an increase of $3.0 million compared to the prior year second quarter.
  • TASER Weapons segment revenues grew $5.2 million year-over-year, or 15.8%, to $37.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increase in Smart Weapon sales of $7.5 million was partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million in sales of legacy TASER X26 CEW, which was retired from production as of December 31, 2014.
  • Axon segment revenues increased by $4.4 million, or 97.5%, to $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 in comparison to the prior year second quarter. The increase was partially driven by a $2.1 million increase, or 226.1%, in service revenue compared to the second quarter 2014 which was driven by increased license counts and higher monthly per license revenues for Evidence.com as well as increased professional services delivered. Axon body-worn camera hardware sales increased $1.7 million compared to the prior year period as more agencies embraced this technology.
  • Gross margin in the second quarter of 2015 was 65.8%, compared to 62.4% in the same period last year due to higher leverage on fixed operating costs in both the TASER Weapons and Axon segments.
  • TASER Weapons segment gross margins increased to 70.2% in second quarter 2015 compared to 67.4% in second quarter 2014. The increase was partially driven by the completion of the depreciation of the automated cartridge production line at the end of the fourth quarter 2014. The second quarter 2015 gross margin also improved due increased leveraging of fixed overhead costs.
  • Axon segment gross margins improved to 47.0% in the second quarter 2015 compared to 26.7% in the second quarter of 2014. Axon hardware product margins (e.g. excluding Axon services) increased to 37.3% compared to 23.2% in the prior year. Axon service margins increased to 66.3% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 40.7% in the prior year due to the leverage of the fixed costs to operate and host the Evidence.com service.
  • Total Axon and Evidence.com bookings were $30.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $19.3 million, or 170% compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2014.
  • Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 increased $1.9 million, from $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A decreased to 33.1% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 36.4% in the prior year second quarter. Compared to the prior year, personnel expenses increased $2.0 million as the Company has increased customer-facing positions as well as some administrative functions. Consulting expenses increased approximately $0.5 million. Also, marketing expenses as well as travel expenses increased approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as the Company works to grow its international presence. The prior year SG&A also included approximately $2.2 million related to the settlement of two commercial litigation cases that related to disagreements with two former distributors. The Company expects SG&A expenses to continue to increase in the second half of 2015 as the Company continues to invest and grow the infrastructure necessary to achieve its initiatives of increasing revenues internationally and in the Axon segment, and driving CEWs to standard issue for all officers domestically.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses of $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 increased $2.5 million when compared to the second quarter of 2014 which was driven by additional personnel and consulting expense related to Axon segment product development initiatives. The Company continues to expect increased expenses in R&D in the second half of 2015 as it adds headcount to support new functionality and new capabilities to the Axon platform, cameras and related hardware.
  • Income from operations increased $3.2 million, or 50.9%, to $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-gaap measure, increased $2.6 million to $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2015 was $3.4 million.
  • Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $6.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.
  • In the second quarter of 2015, the Company produced $2.0 million in cash from operating activities. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $99.0 million at June 30, 2015, up from $90.4 million at December 31, 2014. Included in these balances were $12.4 million and $9.3 million in long-term investments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Operating and Business Highlights:

  • In the second quarter of 2015, the Company announced a total of 74 significant orders for its X26P and X2 Smart Weapons. These orders represented a total of approximately 10,300 Smart Weapons. The Company only announces a subset of its received orders during the quarter to show momentum to customers and these announcements should not be used to approximate revenue.
  • The Company continued to see new agencies adopt, and other agencies expand, their deployments of the Axon body-worn cameras and/or Evidence.com management service during the second quarter, and announced a total of 38 significant new deployments. These orders represented a total of approximately 5,800 Axon cameras. The Company only announces a subset of its received orders during the quarter to show momentum to customers and these announcements should not be used to approximate revenue.
    • Included in these totals was the initial purchase of Axon cameras and Evidence.com by the Louisville Metro Police Department, which also purchased the MediaSolv solution for CCTV video and photo management.
    • The Fresno Police Department expanded their program with an additional 300 Axon cameras in addition to upgrading to the Office Safety Plan.
  • As of the end of the second quarter, 26 major cities have purchased TASER's Axon body-worn cameras and/or its digital evidence management solution including; Albuquerque, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Fort Worth, Fresno, Kansas City, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Louisville, Mesa, Miami, Milwaukee, Montgomery County, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, Tampa, Toronto, Tucson, and Washington, D.C.
  • Evidence.com's user count continued to grow substantially, extending the Company's market leadership. Total active, paid users at June 30, 2015 were approximately 29,000.
  • In addition to the strong bookings figure, future billings were $77.7 million at the end of the second quarter and future contracted revenue was $94.9 million. Future billings are defined as cumulative bookings to date net of cumulative recognized Axon camera and Evidence.com revenue and Axon camera and Evidence.com deferred revenue balances. Future contracted revenue is defined as cumulative Axon and Evidence.com bookings, net of cancellations, minus cumulative recognized revenue related solely to Axon and Evidence.com.
  • Average revenue per seat ("ARPU") in the second quarter of 2015 was $29.04 compared to $26.80 at the end of the first quarter of 2015. ARPU is defined as the total license and storage revenue related to Evidence.com in the last month of the period divided by the total number of licenses included in revenue.
  • In the second quarter of 2015, 77% of the purchasers of Axon body-worn video cameras purchased the Company's digital evidence management solution, Evidence.com. In addition, of the purchases which included Evidence.com, 88% had multiple year terms. The Company is encouraged that agencies are selecting the Axon platform as the long-term solution for their digital evidence management needs.
  • On May 5, 2015 the Company announced an agreement to acquire MediaSolv Solutions Corporation for approximately $8.0 million cash, subject to working capital adjustments, and up to an additional $5.0 million in the form of earn-outs and future compensation, subject to the achievement of defined performance metrics and/or employment obligations. MediaSolv provides digital evidence management solutions to law enforcement agencies that allows for multiple sources of evidence to digitized, searched, retrieved and viewed within a single digital library.
  • On July 7, 2015 the Company announced the launch of a free prosecutor license tier of Evidence.com service that serves as a mechanism to enable evidence sharing across the entire criminal justice system. With the Standard Prosecutor License, prosecutors receive free unlimited data storage for all evidence shared with them, which allows jurisdictions to experience the full benefits of body-worn video while minimizing the technical challenges posed by new forms of evidence. In addition to receiving digital evidence from law enforcement, prosecutors will be able to electronically provide discovery and enact their own retention policies and audit controls.
  • On July 20, 2015 the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, TASER International BV, had acquired Tactical Safety Responses Limited, its licensed distributor of TASER smart weapons and body cameras in the United Kingdom. The purchase price consisted of $4.0 million cash at close and additional amounts in the form of earn-outs, subject to the achievement of defined performance metrics. This investment will help expand TASER's ability to bring key public safety technologies to its partners across the UK by growing its on-the-ground sales and support team.

Free Cash Flow is defined as operating cash flow minus purchases of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets.

Caution on Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Although these non-GAAP financial measures are not consistent with GAAP, management believes investors will benefit by referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods.  However, management recognizes that:

  • these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's GAAP financial measures;
  • these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial measures;
  • these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's GAAP financial measures; and
  • these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principles.

Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies.

A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures appears within this press release.

Axon cameras and Evidence.com bookings represent a statistical measure defined as the sales price of orders placed in the relevant time period.  Bookings are an indication of the activity the Company is seeing relative to Axon cameras and Evidence.com.  We consider bookings to be a statistical measure defined as the sales price of orders (not invoiced sales) placed in the relevant fiscal period, net of cancellations, regardless of when the products or services ultimately will be provided.  Some bookings might be invoiced in subsequent years.

Due to municipal government funding rules, certain of the future year amounts included in bookings are subject to budget appropriation or other contract cancellation clauses.  Although TASER has entered into contracts for the delivery of products and services in the future and anticipates the contracts will be completed, if agencies do not appropriate money in future year budgets or invoke a cancellation clause, revenue associated with these bookings will not ultimately be recognized, resulting in a future reduction to bookings. In the second quarter of 2015, there were no reversals related to prior period bookings due to non-appropriation or other cancellation reasons.

For more information relative to our revenue recognition policies, please reference our SEC filings.
