eMagin Reports Strong Q4 and 2011 Financial Results
- Q4 Revenues Increase, Gross Margin at 65% -
BELLEVUE, Wash. - March 14, 2012 - eMagin Corporation (NYSE Amex: EMAN), the leader in OLED technology for the design and manufacture of OLED microdisplays for high resolution imaging products, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2011.
“2011 was a key year in the development of eMagin as we opened additional avenues of growth by securing R&D contracts with a diversified leading manufacturer of highly engineered critical components, the University of Rochester for the Department of Energy and the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM), while completing contracts and maintaining our ongoing relationships with U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) and the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD). We also won a contract to commercialize our new, very high resolution (1920x1200) WUXGA display and secured an important first-time customer in a new market, electronic viewfinders, which could grow substantially in the future,” stated Andrew Sculley, President and CEO. “We also continued to address our production output challenges, which were primarily due to the limited capabilities of our current OLED deposition machine and which impacted our ability to meet growing customer demand for our advanced OLED microdisplays. Our new OLED deposition machine has been installed and is now being tested and qualified at our Hopewell Junction, New York, manufacturing facility. When fully operational, the new deposition machine is expected to increase OLED deposition capacity by approximately tenfold, to increase yield, and to contribute to a substantially more efficient, automated process, with lower maintenance requirements and greater utilization. The greater production efficiencies expected to be realized from the new machine will enable us to further address our key domestic and international markets, which include a range of military, commercial, industrial, medical, and consumer applications.”
Quarterly Results
Revenues for the fourth quarter were $8.0 million, an increase of $65,000 over the comparable period in 2010. Gross margin for the fourth quarter increased 7% to 65% of revenue on gross profit of $5.2 million, compared to a gross margin of 62% of revenue on gross profit of $4.9 million in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin was achieved through increased volume of production and improved contract margin.
Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $3.8 million, versus operating expenses of $3.7 million for the prior year period.
Operating income increased 18% for the fourth quarter of 2011 to $1.5 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2010.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company received a tax benefit from a $9.1 million valuation allowance adjustment resulting from the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward. Adjusted Net Income (adjusted for severance, legal settlement, change in fair value of warrant liability and income tax benefit) was $1.4 million in 2011 and $2.0 million in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.6 million in fourth quarter, the same as fourth quarter last year.
Full Year Results
For the year ended December 31, 2011, eMagin generated revenues of $29.2 million versus $30.5 million for 2010. The Company met its revised revenue guidance for 2011 of $29 million to $32 million. Display sales increased 2%, offset by decreases in contract revenue (17% down) and headset revenue (54% down). The headset (primarily the z800) reduction was due to how we prioritized production to favor our customers’ display orders and therefore could not produce 3D displays to fill our own headset product orders. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011, totaled $15.5 million versus $18.4 million for 2010. Gross margin for 2011 was 53% versus 61% for 2010 due to lower average selling price and higher production labor and material costs.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 42% in 2011 as compared to 41% in 2010.
Operating income for 2011 totaled $3.3 million as compared to $6.0 million for 2010.
Net income for 2011 was $5.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, versus net loss of $1.1 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, for 2010. In 2010, the Company had non-cash charges of $16 million for change in fair value of warrants and an income tax benefit from a $9.1 million valuation allowance adjustment resulting from the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward. Adjusted Net Income (adjusted for severance, legal settlement, change in fair value of warrant liability and income tax benefit) was $3.1 million in 2011 and $7.7 million in 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for 2011 was $6.3 million vs. $9.7 million in 2010.
During 2011, eMagin continued to fund its activities and the expansion of its business in military, industrial and consumer markets exclusively through cash generated by operations and increased its cash balances despite making a substantial investment in new equipment. At December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $14.3 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments in certificates of deposit, as compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2010. The Company purchased $2.9 million of equipment and repurchased 25,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at a cost of approximately $ 95,000 under its share repurchase program during 2011.
