SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UniPixel, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNXL), a provider of Performance Engineered Films™ to the touch screen and flexible electronics markets, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Highlights for the quarter included:
- Revenue for the quarter was $1.5 million compared to $0 for the third quarter of 2014;
- Company Appoints Abraham Lin as General Manager of UniPixel – Taiwan to grow Asian operations;
- UniPixel delivers engineering samples to potential new Tier 1 PC OEM customer;
- UniPixel delivers first engineering samples combining XTouch, Diamond Guard and hybrid-metal plating to new major PC and consumer electronics OEM.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 revenues were $1.5 million compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Revenues for the quarter were mainly comprised of sales of XTouch sensors to a Tier 1 PC OEM customer.
Jeffrey A. Hawthorne, president and chief executive officer of UniPixel, said, "The just completed quarter marks UniPixel's second quarter as a fully functional volume manufacturing and commercial sales company. Over the course of these two quarters we have taken significant strides in developing new products, refining our manufacturing capabilities, introducing our products to a broad cross-section of the PC manufacturing community in the U.S., and establishing a foothold in Asia to drive our business in international markets. Our products are now under review and evaluation at a number of Tier 1 PC manufacturers, compared to none last year at this time, and we continue to receive RFPs (requests for proposals) for our products. We have made excellent progress in establishing a competitive position within the touch screen segment in a relatively short period of time."
Mr. Hawthorne continued, "The product development process at the leading device manufacturers can be long and intensive, and we continue to be effective and efficient in responding to customer requests. Our metal mesh touch screen technology is at the heart of a superior and differentiated product which we believe will command an important piece of the market in the coming years. In addition, our Diamond Guard technology will allow OEMs to replace cover glass in certain applications to produce devices that are lighter, thinner and more price competitive. While we will not be satisfied until we receive a steady flow of orders, we are pleased with the progress to this point and look forward to great improvements in the coming quarters and years."
Cost of revenues was $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as the Company incurred startup costs and under-utilized fixed overhead costs at its Colorado Springs production facility, which the Company expected in the initial manufacturing phase. Cost of revenue includes certain non-cash charges, including amortization, stock-based compensation and depreciation of equipment as well as other non-cash charges, which totaled $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2015. Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted cost of revenues was $3.5 million.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense was approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as the Company transitioned from a pre-production stage company to a manufacturing and commercial sales organization. SG&A includes certain non-cash charges, including depreciation, stock-based compensation and severance, which totaled $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2015, and $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted SG&A was $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2015, and $0.9 million during the third quarter of 2014.
Research and development ("R&D") expense during the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.5 million compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. R&D includes certain non-cash charges, including severance and stock-based compensation, which totaled $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2015, and $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted R&D was $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2015, and $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric (see Table A), for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $(4.4) million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(3.1) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
Net loss was $(10.0) million, or $(0.60) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to a net loss of $(5.6) million, or $(0.45) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company has provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the accompanying table. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to analyze its operating performance and liquidity and believes they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in analyzing, trending and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA (loss) to exclude discontinued operations, debt issuance cost amortization, gain on change in warranty liability, accretion of discount on convertible notes, interest expense on convertible note, depreciation, amortization of licenses, non-cash stock-based compensation, restricted stock issuance expense and severance. The Company believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Management does not place undue reliance on adjusted EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. For reconciliation under GAAP to the Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA see Table A that is included in the tables accompanying this release.
