Intermolecular Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results

August 6, 2015 4:15 PM EDT

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Intermolecular, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMI) - accelerating research and development (R&D) for advanced materials - today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $11.0 million, compared to $9.9 million in the same period a year ago. CDP and services revenue was $7.2 million for the quarter, compared to $6.9 million in the prior year. Licensing and royalty revenue was $3.7 million, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year.

As reported under GAAP, the Company reported a net loss of $(5.7) million, or $(0.12) per share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to net loss of $(6.9) million, or $(0.15) per share, for the second quarter of 2014.

Intermolecular reports revenue, cost of revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP measures, is included in the financial statements portion of this press release.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $(3.9) million, or $(0.08) per share. This compared with non-GAAP net loss of $(5.3) million, or $(0.11) per share, for the second quarter of 2014.

“The results of our second quarter were excellent as we made good progress in key areas that are necessary for Intermolecular’s future growth and profitability. We were able to carry forward our work and contracts with one of our key customers this quarter, and it is clear to me that our more flexible business model is allowing us to engage with a strong slate of new customers, as well as re-engage with prior customers,” stated Bruce McWilliams, President and CEO of Intermolecular.

The following statements are based on current expectations for the third quarter of 2015. The Company does not plan to update, nor does it undertake any obligation to update, this outlook in the future.

  • Intermolecular projects revenue in the range of $10.5 to $11.5 million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, is projected between $(4.0) million and $(5.0) million, or between $(0.08) to $(0.10) per share, on approximately 49 million shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effect of stock-based compensation and restructuring related charges. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not serve as an alternative to GAAP and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. These results should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. We believe that our non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations because the non-GAAP measures exclude charges that management considers to be outside of Intermolecular's core operating results. We believe that the non-GAAP measures of revenue, cost of net revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income, earnings per share and net (loss) income per share, viewed in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess financial performance, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods.
