EMAN - eMagin Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results

Third-quarter Total Revenue of $7.6 Million up 31% Year over Year

Reports Positive EBITDA of $0.7 Million

Total Backlog of Open Orders of $16.6 Million on Strong Bookings

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eMagin Corporation , or the “Company,” (NYSE American: EMAN) , a leader in the development, design, and manufacture of Active-Matrix OLED microdisplays for high-resolution, AR/VR and other near-eye imaging products, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“eMagin’s third quarter was highlighted by a 31% year-over-year revenue increase leading to improved gross margins and positive EBITDA, along with new business wins and continued growth in our backlog of open orders,” said eMagin CEO Andrew G. Sculley. “Our total revenues rose to $7.6 million, compared to $5.8 million a year ago, while our gross margin improved to 37% from 10% a year ago. This is the fourth consecutive quarter in which we realized year-over-year increases in throughput and product revenues of more than $7.0 million. The improved yields and increased throughput and revenues were the result of the new, government-funded equipment in our production facility and improvements in our manufacturing operations. Moreover, our EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was a positive $0.7 million.”

“Our display sales grew during the third quarter of 2022, reflecting strong military shipments and increased medical segment revenues. As of the end of the third quarter ongoing demand for our displays for use in thermal weapon sights, military night-vision goggles, and medical applications drove our total backlog to $16.6 million from $14.3 million at the end of last quarter. Approximately 93% of the total third quarter backlog is deliverable within the next 12 months.”

“The U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) awarded us a $2.5 million, two-year development contract in the second quarter to secure a U.S. source for a high-performance microdisplay that provides high brightness and visual acuity, even in bright daylight conditions. In the third quarter, we recognized $0.6 million of revenue under the initial phase of this contract, which was related to the design of a backplane that will allow for significantly higher luminance of our displays.

“In December, we will take delivery of the upgraded R&D dPd™ deposition chamber, starting a new era in OLED microdisplay technology. We will use this chamber to make the displays required by the last phase of our proof-of-concept work with a tier-one AR/VR customer. This upgraded R&D chamber will be used to fabricate disruptive, high-brightness dPd displays for both military and commercial markets in small quantities. The design process for this R&D chamber has played a key role in defining the specifications for the large production-capable dPd organic deposition tool purchased under Title III funding, that is nearing completion at the vendor’s facility.

“In September, as previously announced, we received our AS9100 Rev. D certification along with our ISO 9001:2015 certification. The AS9100D is an internationally recognized quality management standard that is specific to the aerospace, aviation, and defense industries. These certifications strengthen eMagin’s competitive position and standardize our quality, reliability and safety processes. Furthermore, we believe that our certified quality management systems, combined with the highly-differentiated dPd manufacturing equipment and processes, will continue to make eMagin the supplier of choice for the high-brightness and high-resolution OLED microdisplay solutions of the future.”

Defense Production Act Title III and IBAS Funding

As previously announced, eMagin has ordered all equipment to be purchased under the $39 million in Defense Production Act Title III and the IBAS Program funding grants that were awarded to the Company in 2020. As of the end of the third quarter, the Company had added and qualified four pieces of equipment to its production line and had received three additional pieces of equipment that are currently installed and being qualified. This equipment has contributed to improved yields and reliability in the Company’s production process. eMagin has seven more major pieces of equipment on order, including the previously mentioned, production-capable dPd organic deposition tool that is expected to improve device performance, yield and throughput of this innovative technology. The Company remains on track with these important government grants, and is beginning to realize yield, reliability, and throughput improvements.

Third Quarter Results

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2022 increased 31% to $7.6 million, compared with $5.8 million reported in the prior-year period.

Total revenue consists of both product revenue and contract revenue. Product revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $7.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million from product revenues of $5.3 million reported in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase in display revenue was due to strength in military markets, including shipments of displays used for the ENVG-B program, and higher revenue contributions from medical customers.

Contract revenues were $0.6 million compared with $0.5 million reported in the prior year, reflecting an increase due to development associated with a high-brightness display design for the Department of Defense and a proof-of-concept display for a tier-one consumer company.

Total gross margin for the third quarter increased to 37%, resulting in a gross profit of $2.9 million, compared with a gross margin of 10%, which resulted in a gross profit of $0.6 million in the prior-year period. The gross margin improvement resulted from several factors including higher yields, increased volumes, a more favorable product mix, and the successful qualification and sale of product that had previously been written off because of an initial quality issue that was ultimately resolved. This resulted in a savings of approximately $0.6 million in third quarter materials costs as compared to the expected cost of producing these displays. Excluding this positive impact, third quarter 2022 gross margin would have been 30% on gross profit of $2.3 million.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022, including R&D expenses, were $3.0 million, compared with $3.9 million in the prior-year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 39% in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 67% in the prior-year period. Prior year R&D expenses reflected significant investments in high-brightness XLE, and dPd processes.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2022 narrowed to $0.1 million, compared with an operating loss of $3.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the higher gross profit as noted above.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $0.3 million, or $0.00 per share, compared with income of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per share, in the prior-year period. After adjusting for the net income allocated to participating securities of $0.3 million and $4.7 million change in the fair value of the warrant liability for the prior-year period, net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $3.4 million, or $0.05 per share on a fully-diluted basis.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 improved to positive $0.7 million, compared with negative $2.1 million in the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million and working capital of $13.9 million. During the third quarter, the Company repaid $0.6 million under its asset-based lending (ABL) facility. Borrowings and availability under the ABL facility were $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2022.

During the quarter, the Company realized $1.5 million in net proceeds from sales of common shares under its ATM program.
