Neonode Reports
Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2014 Financial Results
STOCKHOLM,
SWEDEN – March 12, 2015
– Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ: NEON), the optical touch technology company, today
reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
Recent Highlights:
| ● | Signed agreement with Global Tier One PC OEM for zForce PLUSTM touch enabled All In
One PCs and Monitors |
| ● | Signed agreement with Autoliv for zForce DRIVETM Active Sensor Steering Wheel applications |
| ● | Volvo and an additional 2 automotive OEMs are in production using zForce CORETM touch
technology for the in-car infotainment system |
| ● | At the Geneva International Motor Show, Koenigsegg and another global automotive OEM launched new
models that include zForce CORE touch for the in-car infotainment system |
| ● | Amazon began shipping e-readers using zForce CORE touch solution in Q4 2014, but with revenue recognition
for Neonode in Q1 2015 |
| ● | HP printers with zForce CORE touch solutions continues to ramp with 20+ models currently in the
worldwide market |
| ● | As of December 31, 2014 we have 59 patents issued globally and 117 pending |
“I am excited to announce that we recently
signed an agreement with one of the largest PC OEMs where we, along with our partners, will deliver touch and proximity modules
for their PC products”, said Neonode CEO Thomas Eriksson.
"We continue to work with the leading
printer OEMs developing multiple products for 2015 and beyond. These printer OEMs represent the majority of volumes for the printer
market”, continued Mr. Eriksson.
“After 5 years of intense integration
and development work we now have multiple automotive OEMs in production and more are coming to production during 2015 to begin
shipping worldwide. Our zForce technology has been integrated into cars ranging from extremely high end to economy, which really
show the versatility of our solutions. I am also happy to notice that the reviews on the Volvo XC90 have been very positive”,
concluded Mr. Eriksson.
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2014
Fourth quarter 2014 consolidated net revenues increased 54% to $1.7
million compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2014. On a year-over-year basis, fourth quarter 2014 revenues increased
by 72%, primarily due to increased license fees and NRE fees earned from completed development projects.
Operating expenses increased 13% to $4.3 million for the fourth
quarter of 2014 compared to $3.8 million for the same quarter in 2013 due to several factors including legal expense related to
patent filings and non-recurring events, an increase in headcount, primarily in our sales and engineering departments due to increased
activities in the automotive, printer and PC segments. Consolidated fourth quarter net loss was $3.1 million or $0.08 loss per
share, compared with a net loss of $3.0 million or $0.08 loss per share for the comparable quarter in 2013.
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $4.7 million,
compared to $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $3.1
million from license fees due to product shipments from 16 customers and $1.6 million in NRE services from 22 customers. Our net
revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 included $2.9 million from license fees due to product shipments from 12 customers
and $800,000 in NRE services from 22 customers.
The increase in overall net revenues in the year ended December
31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 is primarily due to an increase in license fees and NRE fees from customers.
NRE fee revenue doubled in 2014 compared to 2013.
Gross margin was $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014
compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our gross margin increased primarily due to improved profitability
of NRE services combined with an increase of our license fees compared to 2013. The gross margin related to our license fees is
100%. As license fees as a percentage of our total revenue increase, our gross margin will increase.
Operating expenses increased 16% to $17.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2014 compared to $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in operating expenses for 2014 compared
to 2013 is primarily due to the same factors that were previously explained for the quarter.
As a result of the factors discussed above,
we recorded a net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.36 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $13.1
million, or $0.37 per share for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Cash totaled $6.1 million at December 31, 2014
compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2013. Common shares on a fully diluted basis totaled 45.7 million on December 31, 2014
compared to 40.4 million at December 31, 2013.
