Second Quarter
"Our company has continued to deliver consistent and predictable growth, with strong revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS growth being demonstrated again this quarter," said Matthijs Glastra, Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. "We feel we are well positioned in a number of secular growth market categories, with the team continuing to deliver solid results."
During the second quarter of 2018, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $150.4 million, an increase of $31.3 million, or 26.3%, versus the second quarter of 2017. The Company's acquisition activities resulted in an increase in revenue of $21.8 million, or 18.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2017. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year favorably impacted our revenue by $2.1 million, or 1.8%, during the second quarter of 2018. Our Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, increased 6.2%, versus the second quarter of 2017 (see "Organic Revenue Growth" in the non-GAAP reconciliation below).
In the second quarter of 2018, GAAP operating income was $17.1 million, compared to $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. GAAP net income attributable to Novanta was $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") was $0.32 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.16 in the second quarter of 2017.
Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.51 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $0.41 in the second quarter of 2017. The Company ended the second quarter of 2018 with 35.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA was $30.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $25.7 million in the second quarter of 2017.
Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2018 was $20.0 million, compared to $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2017. The Company completed the second quarter of 2018 with approximately $240.1 million of total debt and $107.3 million of total cash. Net Debt, as defined in the non-GAAP reconciliation below, was $132.9 million.
Financial Outlook
For the full year 2018, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $600 million to $607 million, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $121 million to $125 million, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $1.96 to $2.02. The Company's Adjusted Diluted EPS assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates.
For the third quarter of 2018, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $153 million to $156 million. The Company expects Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.53, and Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $31 million to $33 million. The Company's Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA guidance assumes no significant foreign exchange gains or losses.
Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for noncontrolling interest redemption value adjustments; significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); divestiture related expenses; acquisition-related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses) on proceeds from divestitures; benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; and other charges reflected in our reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta's non-GAAP financial measures, see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
Conference Call Information
The Company will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 to discuss these results. To access the call, please dial (877) 870-4263 prior to the scheduled conference call time. Alternatively, the conference call can be accessed online via a live webcast on the Event Calendar page of the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.novanta.com.
A replay of the audio webcast will be available approximately three hours after the conclusion of the call on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.novanta.com. The replay will remain available until Friday, October 5, 2018.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Novanta Inc., Net of Tax, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Net Debt.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management's belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company's day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company's strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company's existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company's business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company's product and service offerings through acquisition of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company's overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors' ability to analyze the business from period to period.
The Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Organic Revenue Growth are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Organic Revenue Growth are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company also uses Adjusted Diluted EPS as a measurement for performance shares issued to certain executives. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide greater transparency and insight into management's method of analysis.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company's reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Non-GAAP Measures
Organic Revenue Growth
We define the term "organic revenue" as revenue excluding the impact from business acquisitions, divestitures, product line discontinuations, and the effect of foreign currency translation. We use the related term "organic revenue growth" to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. We believe that this non-GAAP measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows us and our investors to better measure our performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of our performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to our peers. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between us and our peers, which we believe makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Beginning in 2017, Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin
The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets because: (1) the amounts are non-cash; (2) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (3) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the components of operating costs.
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin
The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets related to business acquisitions because: (1) the amounts are non-cash; (2) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (3) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the components of operating costs. The Company also excluded restructuring, acquisition and divestiture related costs due to the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company's day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Adjusted Income before Income Taxes
The calculation of Adjusted Income before Income Taxes is displayed in the tables above. The calculation of Adjusted Income before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring, acquisition and divestiture related costs for the reasons described for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin above.
Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision and Effective Tax Rate

In addition, the Company excluded significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on our effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above.

Because pre-tax income is included in determining net income attributable to Novanta Inc., net of tax, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Novanta Inc., Net of Tax, also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring, acquisition and divestiture related costs for the reasons described for Adjusted Income before Income Taxes.

In addition, the Company excluded the adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interest to estimated redemption value as (1) the adjustment is unusual; (2) the amount is noncash; (3) the amount does not represent a measure of earnings and is excluded from the determination of net income attributable to Novanta Inc.; and (4) the Company believes it may not be indicative of future adjustments and that investors may benefit from an understanding of the Company's operating results without giving effect to this adjustment.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as the consolidated net income before deducting interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, restructuring, acquisition and divestiture related costs, other non-operating income (expense) items, foreign exchange gains (losses), and earnings from an equity-method investment for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Adjusted EBITDA includes 100% of the results of our consolidated subsidiaries and therefore does not exclude the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation.
Free Cash Flow
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is an important measure of its liquidity as well as its ability to service the Company's outstanding debt, and to fund future growth.
Net Debt
The Company defines Net Debt as its total debt as reported on the consolidated balance sheet plus unamortized deferred financing costs and less its cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period presented. Management uses Net Debt to monitor the Company's outstanding debt obligations that could not be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.
