Reports Second Quarter Revenue of $6.3 Million on Diversified Product Sales

Company Continues to grow ENVG-B Night Vision, Medical and International Programs

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eMagin Corporation, or the "Company", (NYSE: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 quarter ended June 30, 2021.

"We continue to make steady progress in developing our Direct Patterning Display (dPd™) technology and remain on schedule to produce disruptive and industry-leading, high-brightness, high-resolution, and full-color prototypes this year," said eMagin CEO Andrew G. Sculley. "We believe our improvements in the OLED architecture and dPd processes will meet the performance goals of our tier-one OEM customers using the high-resolution backplanes we have developed for them. As a further testament to our technological leadership, several new patents were issued and allowed in the second quarter, which are centered on improvements to the dPd process for improved yield and device performance.

"In addition to improvements in dPd materials and processes, we have advanced the state of the art with our XLE technology, which utilizes a white OLED emitter with color filters. This technology provides customers with a substantial gain in luminance and/or power savings for their applications. We have already closed a major design win with a military customer to use these displays and are currently ramping production. We will enhance the technology over the next year to provide even greater luminance improvement to our customers, a critical need for the military, medical and commercial AR/VR solutions of tomorrow. We believe our parallel strategy of disrupting the industry with direct patterning combined with improvements in the color filter roadmap will enable us to continue to lead the high brightness at lower power roadmap and drive the AR/VR applications of the future.

"In the second quarter, we continued to see uptake of our technology into new applications, including new head-mounted display programs, undersea connected-diver products, and new thermal weapon scopes. The thermal scope business continued to show a strong recovery in post-pandemic order growth. We believe that as XLE and dPd mature, we will accelerate our growth of new technology insertions.

"In terms of revenue, our second-quarter results were mixed, with continued display revenue growth in our ENVG-B program, and increased shipments to medical, veterinary and hunting scope customers. However, our year-over-year decrease in total revenue reflected the impact of production issues and unexpected manufacturing tool downtime in the quarter. As we continue to bring on new equipment as part of our $39.1 million Title III and IBAS programs, we expect to resolve these issues. Our contract revenue decreased year over year mainly due to the timing of certain development work for a tier-one consumer customer. Overall, as of June 30, 2021, our sales backlog of open orders was $10.3 million, which grew to $16.0 million by July 31, 2021."

Second Quarter Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $6.3 million, compared with $7.7 million reported in the prior-year period.

Total revenue consists of both product revenue and contract revenue. Product revenues for the second quarter of 2021 were $5.7 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from product revenues of $6.3 million reported in the prior-year period. The year-over-year decrease in display revenue primarily resulted from unexpected downtime experienced with manufacturing equipment, which delayed certain display shipments into the third quarter. The decline was partially offset by higher sales to military, medical and veterinary customers. Contract revenues were $0.5 million, compared with $1.4 million reported in the prior year, reflecting the timing of phases and milestones associated with the contract of a tier-one consumer company. eMagin is continuing to work on a proof of concept and anticipates ongoing contract revenue with this customer.

Total gross margin for the second quarter was 9% on gross profit of $0.6 million, compared with a gross margin of 26% on gross profit of $2.0 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross margin reflects decreased shipments of displays in the three months ended June 30, 2021, combined with the impact of lower manufacturing volumes and decreases in period costs capitalized into inventory due to equipment issues that occurred during the second quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021, including R&D expenses, were $3.5 million, compared with $3.3 million in the prior-year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 55% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 43% in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase in R&D reflects materials and other overhead costs related to development and qualification of the Company's higher brightness XLE and dPd displays, and a decrease in costs allocated to contracts reflecting lower contract revenues in the 2021 period.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $2.9 million, compared with an operating loss of $1.3 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the decreased gross profit and increased investments in R&D in the current year.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.3 million, or $0.00 per share, compared with a loss of $2.8 million, or $0.05 per share, in the prior year period. Net loss for the current period includes a $2.6 million non-cash profit related to the change in fair value of a warrant liability. Excluding the impact of the change in the fair value of the warrant liability for both periods, net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $2.9 million, or $0.04 per share, versus a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 was negative $2.0 million, compared with negative $0.8 million in the prior-year period.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.6 million and working capital of $9.0 million. During the second quarter, the Company borrowed $0.2 million under its asset-based lending (ABL) facility and realized proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $1.0 million. Borrowings and availability under the ABL facility were $0.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.

During the quarter eMagin took delivery of two additional production tools, which will improve the reliability of our processes and improve yields. We continue to make down payments with vendors that are building equipment requested under the Company's government capital equipment funding awards.

Measurement of Inventory

As previously announced, in recognition of a shift in product demand toward larger, more complex displays yielding fewer die per wafer, the Company determined that measuring output by the number of displays produced per quarter is not an accurate measure of production capacity, and that measuring output based on the number of wafers produced per quarter is a more appropriate measure of production volume. As the number of wafers produced per quarter has remained consistent for the past two years, the Company concluded it was no longer in a period of abnormal production that would require limiting the amount of overheads allocated to inventory. The Company believes that fully allocating the overhead to work in process and finished goods inventories results in more accurate inventory valuation and computation of costs of goods sold, in addition to providing better information for making pricing decisions.

Under this change in estimate for allocating overhead, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2021, overhead is now fully allocated to products, resulting in an increase in standard costs and decrease inventory values. In the second quarter of 2021, the impact of this change was a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in the carrying value of the Company's work in process and finished goods inventory, with a corresponding decrease in product cost of goods sold.

Chief Financial Officer

In July, eMagin's board of directors formally named Mark Koch as chief financial officer. Mr. Koch had served as the Company's acting CFO since January of 2020.
