“收购OptaSense标志着Luna历史上一个极其重要的里程碑，将进一步支持我们的增长轨迹，”Luna总裁兼首席执行官Scott Graeff表示通过Luna和OptaSense的结合，我们将紧密相邻的业务和巨大的联合机会结合在一起。这笔交易使Luna获得了全球规模的光纤传感解决方案和分布式声传感系统的领导者，这将真正改变我们公司的面貌。此外，Optassense的成功得益于世界一流、行业领先的技术基础和非常有才华的员工团队。我们非常高兴欢迎他们加入Luna团队。”

The acquisition will provide Luna with important distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) intellectual property and products, which strongly complement Luna’s existing portfolio, and provides algorithm-development expertise, critical for AI and machine learning. OptaSense’s research and development talent and highly skilled salesforce, combined with more than 150 active and pending patents, will also enhance Luna’s existing experienced team and broaden its intellectual property portfolio.

QinetiQ首席执行官史蒂夫•韦迪（Steve Wadey）表示，“我们很高兴宣布将OptaSense出售给Luna，后者将提供更大的协同效应和相关的市场准入，以实现并加速其未来的增长。”

OptaSense将成为Luna Innovations Incorporated的全资子公司，同时在可预见的未来继续以其现有品牌运营，OptaSense员工将留在公司内部，在英国、迪拜、美国和加拿大设有办事处。

引人注目的战略优势
Luna expects that this transformative acquisition will:

• 为Luna提供重要的分布式声传感（“DAS”）知识产权、产品和专业知识。DAS是Luna现有产品的有力补充，并提供算法开发专业知识，对人工智能和机器学习至关重要。bob软件苹果怎么下载
• Bring a diverse, blue-chip customer base with limited crossover with Luna’s customer base. This represents a significant opportunity for expansion into both customer groups.
• 通过其研发专业知识和高技能的销售队伍，再加上150多项正在申请和正在申请的专利，增强Luna现有的销售团队和广泛的知识产权组合。
• 使Luna能够经济高效地在国际上建立强大的运营机构，建立在其已经强大的国际客户基础和销售能力之上。
• 迅速为安全和周边探测、智能基础设施监控和石油天然气等高增长市场创造扩张机会，
• 实现效率，并利用OptaSense和Luna的组合快速增长Luna的运营、客户群、产品和财务状况。

Transaction Terms and Financing
Luna is acquiring OptaSense for £29 million, which required approximately $40 million in cash. The transaction was funded using roughly $20 million of Luna’s existing cash and $20 million in debt (the source for which is discussed in a separate press release issued this morning).

2020年全年展望
Luna重申其2020年全年指南：
• Total revenues of $81M to $83M
•调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润为1000万美元至1200万美元

该公司预计将提供额外的前景以及额外的定性细节在其第四季度和2020年底财报电话会议，日期将于明年年初宣布。

非公认会计原则财务指标
在评估其业务的经营业绩时，Luna的管理层考虑了调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润，其中不包括GAAP要求的某些费用和信贷。调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润为管理层和投资者提供了有用的信息，排除了某些非现金费用和项目的影响，而Luna认为这些费用和项目可能并不代表其经营业绩，因为这些费用或不寻常，且Luna预计这些费用和项目在其正常业务过程中不会再次发生，或与其他项目无关业务在正常过程中的持续经营。调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润应在按照公认会计原则编制的结果之外考虑，但不应被视为替代或优于公认会计原则的结果。
