Actualizado el 5 de mayo, 2015 - 22.05hs.

SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/15 -- Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

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.

Revenue for the first quarter was $79.6 million, which compares with $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. The Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $9.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $12.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP net loss was $10.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share for the first quarter, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $17.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Overall gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2015 was 30%, compared to 33% for the first quarter of 2014. Total non-GAAP gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2015 was 31%, compared to 34% for the first quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $40.9 million, compared to $39.8 million for the prior year period. Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $37.8 million, compared to $37.3 million for the prior year period.

As of March 31, 2015, cash, investments and restricted cash increased slightly compared to December 31, 2014 and totaled $148 million. Working capital decreased modestly to $353 million, compared to $362 million at the end of 2014.

"We had a solid first quarter as we continued our strong run of new wins, including at Petroleum Geo-Services, which selected an XC40 and Cray storage to power its most advanced seismic imaging efforts," said Peter Ungaro, president and CEO of Cray. "We also installed our first XC supercomputer in Poland at Stalprodukt, a leading advanced steel manufacturer. Looking toward the future, we recently outlined our plans for our next-generation supercomputer, code-named 'Shasta,' targeted for 2018. A Shasta-based system was selected by Argonne National Laboratory along with Cray storage and an XC system for the Department of Energy's CORAL project, and we're excited to be partnering with Intel to deliver these powerful new systems. This is a significant validation of our product roadmap as Shasta will deliver on our Adaptive Supercomputing vision to bridge the world of supercomputing with data analytics."

Outlook
The Company anticipates revenue for 2015 to be in the range of $715 million. Revenue is expected to ramp quarterly during 2015, with about $130 million in the second quarter and roughly 40-45% of the total year in the fourth quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin for 2015 is expected to be about 35%. Total non-GAAP operating expenses for the year are anticipated to be about $195 million. Based on this outlook, we expect to improve our GAAP and non-GAAP operating profit margin significantly for 2015.

The Company's 2015 effective non-GAAP tax rate is expected to be in the range of 6-10%.

Actual results for any future period are subject to large fluctuations and a wide range of results remains possible 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 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.
