eMagin Reports First Quarter Results
BELLEVUE, WA - May 12, 2011 - eMagin Corporation (NYSE Amex: EMAN), the leader in OLED technology for the design and manufacture of OLED microdisplays for high resolution imaging products, announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
"Our first quarter was impacted by production issues that limited revenue. These issues have been addressed and we are seeing significant improvements as we are approaching last year’s yield levels. We believe we can improve yields further during the balance of 2011 on our current machine and expect to see still higher yields in 2012 when our new production OLED deposition machine is expected to come on-line. We have taken a number of steps to catch up with shipping product including extra shifts, including weekends, as we catch up on shipments and restore our production schedule,” commented Andrew Sculley, eMagin’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While our contract revenue for the first quarter was down from last year, we have won some additional contract opportunities with new government agencies and are pursuing others.”
“Operating expenses increased approximately $257,000 from Q1 last year due to non-cash compensation expenses. These expenses, in addition to the lower revenue and yield, resulted in a loss for the quarter. EBITDA for the first quarter was positive $489,412 and we expect to return to net income profitability in the second quarter”, stated Mr. Sculley.
Quarterly Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $5.4 million versus $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2010. The decline in revenue was primarily due to the previously mentioned production issues. Gross margin was 41% of revenue on gross profit of $2.2 million for the quarter, compared to a gross margin of 56% on gross profit of $3.3 million in the same quarter last year. The decline in gross margin was due to the mix of products sold during the quarter, higher costs related to production issues and fixed costs being spread over a lower revenue base.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $2.7 million versus $2.4 million for the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in non-cash compensation expenses.
The net loss for the first quarter of 2011 was ($282,000) or ($0.01) per diluted share as compared to a net profit of $880,000 or $0.03 per diluted share in the prior-year period.
During the first quarter, eMagin continued to see steady improvements in its financial position due to cash generation from operations and the absence of debt on the balance sheet. At March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $13.0 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments in certificates of deposit, as compared to $12.4 million on December 31, 2010.
Highlights
§ | Jerome T. Carollo joined eMagin as Senior Vice President, Business Development. Prior to joining eMagin, Mr. Carollo served as President/General Manager as well as Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development at Intevac Vision Systems where he was responsible for developing the domestic and international business strategy for the Company's digital night vision systems, sensors, and helmet mounted and eyeware displays. |
§ | eMagin has completed the first prototypes of its latest color High-Definition OLED Microdisplay. It is the industry's highest resolution Microdisplay ever produced. It will be shown to select customers at this year's Society of Information Display (SID) Conference in Los Angeles, California, from May 15-20. |
§ | eMagin’s bookings for the first quarter of 2011 were solid, contributing to an increase in the sales backlog for OLED microdisplays. |
§ | The Company received $1.3 million of new contract awards for microdisplay product development and commercialization projects to be completed in 2011. |
§ | eMagin shipped the first display beam combiner assemblies (DBCA), which include the Company's OLED-XL microdisplays, under the subcontract received from ITT Corporation in the summer of 2010. The U.S. Army awarded a contract to ITT's Night Vision & Imaging business units for the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG). The first few hundred units are for program evaluation. eMagin's subcontract has a potential value of $15.2 million. |
§ | The Company shipped the first OLED microdisplays in support of additional subcontracts from two major U.S. Military contractors whose products have received contracts from the U.S. Army under the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) program. |
§ | eMagin formed a design team consisting of outstanding design engineers each of whom has extensive experience working on the silicon backplane for eMagin's newest and most sophisticated OLED microdisplay designs, including the SXGA (1280 x 1024 resolution) and the TATRC WUXGA (1920 x 1200 resolution), as well as the two customer products designed in 2009 for 2010 manufacturing. It is expected that the in-house design team will enable the Company to develop more designs at lower cost. |
§ | The Company demonstrated its new, lowest power/high contrast VGA OLED-XL microdisplay at the SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing Conference and Exposition in Orlando, Florida. The new 15-micron pixel VGA OLED microdisplay combines a voltage drive pixel approach with eMagin's True Black(TM) technology to provide a 0.5 inch diagonal monochrome display that uses less than 60mW (less than half of the requirement for eMagin’s successful SVGA+ OLED-XL microdisplay) and produces sharp images at contrast ratios of approximately 100,000:1. |
Outlook
While the extended U.S. government budget Continuing Resolution this year caused a deferment of some government program revenue to 2012, the Company believes 2011 revenue will still be within the previously guided $35 to $40 million range. This guidance is based on current market conditions, the Company’s backlog under existing contracts, and potential new business.
