MicroVision Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results
11/5/2015 8:00:42 AM
<![CDATA[

Two major electronics companies recently introduced products with
MicroVision’s patented PicoP® display technology

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 5, 2015–
MicroVision,
Inc.
(NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in innovative ultra-miniature
projection display and imaging technology, today announced its results
for the third quarter of 2015.

The third quarter results included product and royalty revenue of $2.4
million. The company improved product and royalty related gross margin
compared to last quarter from 17 percent to 24 percent. Revenue for the
third quarter of 2015 increased by nearly 150 percent compared to the
third quarter of 2014 and operating loss and net loss for the third
quarter of 2015 were up slightly compared to the same period of the
previous year.

In October, the company’s Fortune Global 100 customer that is
manufacturing display engines incorporating MicroVision’s PicoP display
technology, started selling a companion pico projector in the US, Latin
America and most of Asia. Additionally, Sharp Corporation launched an
innovative Mobile Robot Phone product named RoBoHoN that incorporates
MicroVision’s PicoP display technology in a display engine made by
Sharp. Sharp has stated that RoBoHoN will be available in Japan in the
first half of 2016. Both product announcements received extensive media
coverage.

MicroVision continued to support its Fortune Global 100 customer on
business development activities for its display module that incorporates
MicroVision’s PicoP display technology. MicroVision also continued to
independently pursue new opportunities for its patented display and
imaging solution in pico projection and other applications and continued
to advance its technology roadmap.

The following financial results are for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2015, compared to the same periods of 2014:

  • Revenue was $2.4 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to
    $968,000 for the third quarter a year ago. Revenue for the first nine
    months of 2015 was $7.3 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same
    period in 2014.
  • Operating loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $3.5 million,
    compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter a year ago. Operating
    loss was $10.3 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to
    $9.8 million for the first nine months of 2014.
  • Net loss for the third quarter of 2015 was $3.5 million, or $0.07 per
    share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same
    quarter a year ago. Net loss was $10.2 million, or $0.22 per share,
    for the first nine months of 2015 compared to $14.8 million, or $0.36
    per share, for the first nine months of 2014. The first nine months of
    2014 net loss includes a $5.0 million non-cash loss recognized on the
    fair value adjustment of MicroVision’s warrant liability.
  • For the third quarter of 2015, cash used in operations was $3.6
    million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2014. For the
    nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash used in operations was $2.2
    million compared to cash used in operations of $9.9 million for the
    same period in 2014.

As of September 30, 2015, backlog was $13.5 million. The company expects
to fulfill this backlog in the remainder of 2015 and in 2016. Cash and
cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 were $11.2 million.
