THE CEO’S COMMENTS

 

“License fees earned in the third quarter from our printer and automotive customers continued to be at reduced levels due to slower sales in the global markets amid the COVID-19 crisis. We expect these markets to rebound in the future as the pandemic is controlled but hesitate to speculate how quickly any recovery will be. We also continue to see certain customers delaying decisions regarding new development projects and investments due to COVID-19-related challenges in their businesses, in particular in Europe and North America. On the other side, COVID-19 has also rapidly projected our technology into new areas of growth. Our contactless touch sensor technology is an elegant, cost-effective solution that can protect consumers from having to physically touch surfaces on devices in public spaces.  COVID-19 has been a paradigm shift in global consumer behavior, where people want to avoid touching buttons, keypads, and screens on public space devices,” commented Dr. Urban Forssell, CEO of Neonode.

 

“We are currently engaged with numerous customers around the world assisting them in development and product release of innovative solutions for contactless touch in elevators and self-service, multi-user kiosks. These customer activities have resulted in an increase in the manufacture and shipment of evaluation kits and sensors modules. We anticipate the worldwide demand for our sensor modules will continue to build over the coming quarters and years from these and new customer applications in self-service kiosks, vending machines, elevators, and other applications. We are also experiencing strong customer interest for our touch and in-cabin monitoring solutions offerings from customers in the military and avionics, industrial, and automotive segments. To expand our reach and accelerate growth we continue to build our sales and partner eco-system. For example, we recently added four new value-added resellers in Asia and hired two highly qualified salespersons. We also completed a significant financing transaction that included the participation of several investment funds along with company insiders. The proceeds from the financing not only strengthen the company’s cash position, but also provide the liquidity to accelerate growth by adding critical assets needed to meet growing customer demand,” concluded Dr. Forssell.

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

 

The increase of 14.1% in total net revenues for the three-month period in 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily related to significantly higher revenues from sensor module sales which was partially offset by slightly lower license revenues. The decrease of 29.5% in total net revenues for the nine-month period in 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily related to lower license revenues across all customers. 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 86.6% and 89.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 95.1% and 95.3% for the three and nine months ended September 2019, respectively. The decrease in total gross margin in 2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to the increase in sales of sensor modules with lower gross margins compared to the 100% gross margin on license fees, plus certain costs relating to inventory adjustments in 2020. Our operating expense increased 24.8% and decreased 2.5% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to same periods in 2019. The increase for the three months in 2020 is primarily due to actual and estimated one-time legal costs. The decrease for the nine months period in 2020 is primarily related to lower staff expenses and scrapped inventory included in the comparable periods in 2019.

 

Net loss attributable to Neonode Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.6 million and $4.3 million, or a loss of $0.16 and $0.45 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million and $2.9 million, or a loss of $0.12 and $0.33 per share, in the comparable periods in 2019, respectively.

 

 

Cash used by operations was $1.8 million and $3.7 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $2.9 million in the same periods in 2019, respectively.

 

Cash and accounts receivable totaled $13.3 million on September 30, 2020 compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2019.
