STOCKHOLM, Aug. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ: NEON), today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY SECOND QUARTER 2020

  • Net sales totaled $0.8 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period last year.
  • Net loss totaled $1.6 million compared to a net loss of $1.3 million for the same period last year.
  • Loss per share totaled $0.18 compared to a loss per share of $0.14 for the same period last year.
  • Net cash used in operating activities totaled $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE QUARTER

  • Strengthened commercial leadership through recruitment of Mr. Jonas Waern and Mr. Johan Swartz who joined in April and May, respectively.
  • Advanced discussions regarding several new development projects around zForce® touch solutions with existing and new customers, for example in the avionics and industrial control systems segments.
  • Growing interest in the company's contactless touch solutions and increased sales of touch sensor modules and evaluation kits.
  • Expansion of partner network and increased focus on marketing activities to further drive sales of touch sensor modules.
  • Continued development and marketing of MultiSensing® platform for driver and cabin monitoring in automotive applications. Interest from several OEM and Tier 1 customers; shortlisted for sourcing process for 2024+ platform design win with a premium OEM.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS SINCE THE END OF THE QUARTER

  • Continued trend of growing interest in the company's contactless touch solutions and increased sales of touch sensor modules and evaluation kits.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT TRANSACTION AND DEBT CONVERSION COMPLETED

  • On August 7, 2020, the company completed a $13.9 million private placement transaction consisting of Common and Convertible Preferred Stock receiving cash proceeds totaling $13.1 million, net of offering expenses. Management and members of the Board participated in the transaction investing a total of $3.1million in cash.
  • In addition, as part of the financing transaction, the company converted a $1.0 million short-term working capital loan provided by members of the Board into shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

THE CEO'S COMMENTS

 "The second quarter was impacted by softer sales in the global printer and automotive market due to COVID-19, as anticipated in earlier announcements. We expect these markets to rebound. COVID-19 has also rapidly projected our technology into new areas of growth. Our contactless touch sensor technology is an elegant and cost-effective solution that can protect consumers from having to physically touch surfaces on devices in public spaces.  We see COVID-19 as a paradigm shift in global consumer behavior, where people do not want to touch buttons, keypads, and screens on public space devices," commented Dr. Urban Forssell, CEO of Neonode.

"I am pleased that we completed a significant financing transaction that included the participation of several investment funds along with company insiders. We anticipate the worldwide demand for contactless touch will continue to build over the coming quarters and years from new customer applications in self-service kiosks, vending machines, elevators, and other applications. The proceeds from the financing not only strengthens the company's cash position, but also provides the liquidity to accelerate growth by added critical assets needed to meet growing customer demand," concluded Dr. Forssell.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE THREE AND SIX PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2020

The decrease of 55.7% and 44.9% in total net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019 is due primarily to a 54.1% and 45.9% decrease in license revenues in the same periods in 2020, respectively. The decrease in revenues was partly the result of lower estimates for unbilled license fees. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, we record unbilled license fees using prior royalty revenue data. In 2020, due to the uncertainty in the global economy, we recorded lower estimated license fees than in the same period in 2019.

Our combined total gross margin was 83.8% and 91.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 95.8% and 95.4% for the three and six months ended June 2019, respectively. The decrease in total gross margin in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to high costs relating to write off of inventory in 2020. Our operating expense decreased 19.0% and 14.5% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to same periods in 2019. The decreases are primarily related to lower staff expenses and scrapped inventory included in the comparable periods in 2019.

Net loss attributable to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.6 million and $2.6 million, or a loss of $0.18 and $0.29 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million and $1.8 million, or a loss of $0.14 and $0.21 per share, in the comparable periods in 2019, respectively.

Cash used by operations was $1.0 million and $1.9 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $1.5 million in the same periods in 2019, respectively.

The company had a total of $1.5 million of short-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2020. The debt is comprised of a $1.0 million working capital debt facility provide by two members of the board of directors plus a $0.5 million tax credit from the Swedish government as part of their COVID-19 related corporate support program.

Cash and accounts receivable totaled $2.5 million on June 30, 2020 compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2019.
