Implant Sciences Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results
WILMINGTON, Mass., Nov. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for the homeland security market and related industries, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 60%, to $1.8 million, from $1.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $5.4 million as compared with a net loss of $6.0 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $0.6 million. The decrease in the net loss is primarily due to higher sales and gross margin, decreased stock-based compensation and a decrease in operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, stock-based compensation, warrants issued to non-employees and common stock issued to consultants ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which is reconciled to net loss in this press release, were a loss of $2,328,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to a loss of $2,707,000 in the comparable prior year period.
Glenn D. Bolduc, President and CEO of Implant Sciences, commented, "During our recently concluded quarter we continued to progress through several regulatory approval processes. Most notably, we achieved Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") qualification for both air cargo and checkpoint screening, we passed the European Civil Aviation Conference ("ECAC") evaluation process and are now qualified in Europe for airport checkpoint screening for passengers and checked baggage, and our proposal to develop next generation explosives trade detection screening systems, submitted under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's ("DHS") Science and Technology Directorates Broad Agency Announcement, was selected for funding. All of these are important strategic achievements that we believe position the Company for consistent and sustainable growth, as evidenced by the execution of an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") contract with the TSA for up to $162 million and the receipt of an initial delivery order under this IDIQ from the TSA for 1,170 QS-B220's and ancillary services and supplies. We have taken important steps to broaden the markets we serve, increase our revenue opportunities, and improve our financial stability." The following summarizes several strategic accomplishments:
- On August 28, 2014, the QS-B220 successfully completed and passed testing requirements for the TSA's qualification test for aviation checkpoint and checked baggage and has been placed on the TSA's Qualified Product List, or QPL. The QS-B220 is the first Explosives Trace Detection system with a non-radioactive source to be approved by the TSA for use in U.S. airports for passenger and baggage screening.
- On October 6, 2014, the QS-B220 successfully passed ECAC's Common Evaluation Process of Security Equipment for airport checkpoint screening of passengers and baggage. The Common Evaluation Process was established to provide standards for security equipment performance across ECAC's 44 member nations.
- On October 16, 2014, the DHS selected our proposal to develop next generation explosives trace detection screening systems for funding. The project, pending successful negotiations, is potentially worth up to approximately $2 million. Subject to successful conclusion of negotiations with the DHS, we expect the project to commence in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
- On November 10, 2014, we entered into an IDIQ contract with the United States Transportation Security Administration for our QS-B220 desktop explosives trace detectors. The IDIQ, a necessary prerequisite for competing for TSA's annual trace detection procurements and establishes contract terms under which the TSA could purchase up to $162 million of equipment and services.
- On November 13, 2014, we announced the receipt of an initial delivery order from the TSA for 1,170 QS-B220's and ancillary services and supplies.
Mr. Bolduc concluded, "In addition, we announced earlier in November that we have entered into an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the TSA under which the TSA may purchase QS-B220 equipment and services valued at up to $162 million and receipt of an initial delivery order for 1,170 QS-B220's. We believe that the qualifications that have been achieved and securing a funding to develop next-generation explosives trace detection systems establish our credibility as the next-generation explosives technology in the competitive global trace explosives industry. We remain confident about our future prospects."
Details for the three months ended September 30, 2014 follow below.
Three months Ended September 30, 2014 vs. September 30, 2013
- Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,869,000 as compared with $1,165,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $704,000, or 60.4%. The increase in revenue is due primarily to: a 345.5% increase in the number of QS-H150 handheld sold in the three months ended September 30, 2014, due to increased shipments to China and Africa, for use in force and infrastructure protection, which resulted in a 294.4% increase in QS-H150 revenues and, to a lesser extent increased sales of parts and supplies. These increases are offset partially by a 9.8% decrease in the average unit sale prices on sales of QS-B220 units and an 11.5% decrease in average unit sale prices on sales of our QS-H150 handheld units.
- Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $618,000 or 33.1% of revenues as compared with $213,000 or 18.3% of revenues for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross margin as a percent of revenues is primarily the result of increased manufacturing overhead absorption due to increased unit volume and a $45,000 decrease in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a 9.8% decrease in the average unit sale prices on sales of QS-B220 units and an 11.5% decrease in average unit sale prices on sales of our QS-H150 handheld units.
- Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $1,284,000 as compared with $1,231,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $53,000 or 4.3%. The increase in research and development expense is due primarily to a $22,000 increase in payroll and related benefit costs, a $58,000 increase in government qualification testing fees, and a $23,000 increase in prototype expense, offset partially by a $37,000 decrease in stock-based compensation,
- Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $2,675,000 as compared with $3,408,000 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $733,000, or 21.5%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is due primarily to a $591,000 decrease in stock-based compensation, a $39,000 decrease in payroll and related benefit costs, a $35,000 decrease in stock-based compensation on non-employee warrants, the $37,000 loss on the disposal of machinery and equipment recorded in the prior year period and a $66,000 decrease in occupancy costs due to the relocation of our corporate offices in July 2013.
- For the three months ended September 30, 2014, other expense was $2,034,000 as compared with other expense of $1,595,000, for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $439,000. The increase is due to increased interest expense on higher borrowings under our credit facilities.
- Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $5,375,000 as compared with a net loss of $6,021,000 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $646,000, or 10.7%. The decrease in the net loss is primarily due to higher sales and gross margin, decreased stock-based compensation and a decrease in operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

| (1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation, stock-based compensation, fair value of warrants issued to non-employees and the fair value of common stock issued to consultants. EBITDA is commonly used in the technology industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measurement and believe that it provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures and capital investment among otherwise comparable companies and improves comparability of results of operations. Management uses this supplemental measure to evaluate performance over a period of time and to analyze underlying trends in the Company's business and to establish operational goals and forecast that are used in allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measure, using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year. |
| While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors, it is not a measurement presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has inherent material limitations as a performance measure. It does not include interest expense, but because we have borrowed money, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation. Since we have capital assets, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not include stock-based compensation, which is a necessary element of our costs since we issue stock awards to employees as an important incentive to maximize overall company performance and as a benefit of employment with the company. Adjusted EBITDA does not include the fair value of warrants issued to non-employees, which is a necessary element of our costs since we have issued warrants to non-employees and as part of our financing strategy. Finally, Adjusted EBITDA does not include the fair value of common stock issued to consultants, which is a necessary element of our costs since we have issued shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payments to consultants we have retained. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EDITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. |
