EMAN eMagin Corporation

eMagin Corporation, or the “Company,” (NYSE American: EMAN), a leader in the development, design and manufacture of Active Matrix OLED microdisplays for high-resolution, AR/VR and other near-eye imaging products, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full-year 2021.

“Thanks to our skilled workforce and their dedication to our mission of producing the world’s leading OLED microdisplays, 2021 was a year of great technical achievement for eMagin,” said eMagin CEO Andrew G. Sculley. “We ended the year with strong shipments of displays used in the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle–Binocular (ENVG-B) program, as we continue work on this advanced goggle to provide superior situational awareness, mobility, lethality and protection on the battlefield. The ENVG-B incorporates rapid target acquisition, which allows soldiers to fire around corners, and employs AR technology to deliver real-time video and target information through eMagin displays. The reception among soldiers in the field has been very positive, including praise for the ruggedness and reliability of the device.

“Our core military business is benefitting from a ramp-up in volume of our existing programs and we are actively pursuing several others, as well as opportunities in defense markets for thermal weapons sights. This year, we expect to continue to ship displays under the ENVG-B program and to compete for other large U.S. military programs. In addition, we expect to capitalize on improved yields and capacity as we install new, advanced-production machinery purchased under our Defense Production Act Title III and IBAS funding grants.

“In 2022, we look forward to demonstrating our dPd technology to more consumer-oriented customers and continuing our business development efforts in the eye care, surgical and veterinary markets. At the same time, we expect to benefit from contributions of new engineering talent that joined eMagin in late 2021.”

2021 Business and Operational Highlights

• Qualification of eMagin’s high-brightness, XLE display of more than five times the brightness of the displays the Company currently ships
• New display products developed and launched for the medical market

Fourth-Quarter Results

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $7.2 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from $7.7 million in the prior-year period, and a sequential increase of $1.4 million from the third quarter of 2021. Total revenues consist of both product revenues and contract revenues.

Product revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $7.0 million, an increase of $0.8 million from product revenues of $6.2 million reported in the prior-year period, and an increase of $1.7 million compared with the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year quarterly increase in product revenue was due primarily to the timing of certain orders from prime defense contractors and shipments under the Company’s ENVG-B program. This was partially offset by approximately $1.1 million in fourth-quarter shipments that were delayed into 2022 due to capacity constraints related to unexpected machine downtime.

Contract revenues were $0.2 million, compared with $1.5 million in the prior-year period, due to the timing of activities under the Company’s development agreement with a tier-one consumer customer that is milestone-based rather than uniformly distributed each month.

Total gross margin for the fourth quarter was 24% on gross profit of $1.8 million, compared with gross margin of 16% on gross profit of $1.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase in gross margin was due to higher product revenues, increased production, and absorption of fixed cost into inventory, as well as improved yields during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021, including R&D expenses, were $3.5 million, compared with $3.6 million in the prior-year period. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 49% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with 47% in the prior-year period. R&D expenses as a percentage of sales were higher in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to lower costs allocated to contract cost of goods sold. SG&A expenses were lower in the fourth quarter versus the prior-year period due primarily to a reduction in legal costs.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, operating loss was $1.8 million, compared with $2.4 million in the prior-year period.

Despite the operating loss, net income allocated to common shares for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share, due to $3.1 million in income related to a non-cash change in the fair value of the warrant liability during the fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of the change in the warrant liabilities in both quarters, net loss was $2.2 million, or $0.03 per share, on a fully-diluted basis, compared with a loss of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share, in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was negative $0.8 million, compared with negative $1.7 million in the prior-year period.

As of the end of 2021, the Company’s backlog of open orders scheduled for delivery over the next year was $13.8 million, which represented a 26% increase from the end of 2020.

In response to ongoing supply-chain, capacity and pricing pressures, the Company continues to monitor its wafer suppliers and is creating backplane designs suitable for alternative foundries to be able to optimize its allocations. In addition, the Company has implemented product price increases for 2022.

Full-Year Results

Revenues for 2021 were $26.0 million, down 12% from $29.4 million in 2020. Product revenues totaled $24.2 million, representing a 3% decrease from $25.0 million in 2020, primarily due to unexpected downtime of manufacturing equipment and resulting capacity constraints, resulting in approximately $1.1 million in late orders that did not ship during 2021. Contract revenues totaled approximately $1.9 million, representing a 57% decrease from $4.4 million in 2020. Contract revenues primarily reflected development work for an advanced display design and proof-of-concept for a consumer AR/VR device. This work is expected to continue through 2022. Contract revenues are milestone-based and not uniformly distributed throughout the project duration.

Gross margin for 2021 was 18%, compared with 22% in 2020. Gross margin for 2021 was primarily impacted by decreases in contract revenue gross profit related to the timing of activities under the Company’s agreement for development work with its tier-one consumer customer.

Operating expenses for 2021, including R&D expenses, were $14.6 million, compared with $13.3 million in 2020. The majority of the increase was due to materials and other overhead costs related to the development and qualification of the Company’s higher-brightness XLE and dPd displays, as well as a decrease of $0.8 million in costs allocated to contract costs of goods sold relative to 2020, due to lower contract revenues in 2021.

Operating loss for 2021 was $10.0 million, versus $6.9 million in 2020. Net loss for 2021 was $5.2 million, or $0.07 per share. This compares with a net loss of $11.4 million, or $0.19 per share, in 2020. Excluding the impact of the non-cash change in the fair value of the warrant liability for both years, net loss for 2021 was $0.12 per share, versus a net loss of $0.11 per share in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year was negative $4.1 million, compared with negative $4.4 million in the prior year.

As disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021, the Company received an audit opinion with a going concern qualification.

Balance Sheet Highlights

The Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2021 reflects a total of $5.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, a year-over-year decrease of $2.6 million. This is in addition to $0.8 million of cash restricted for purchases of equipment under Title III and IBAS government grants. The Company had $2.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $2.3 million in credit availability under its revolving credit facility as of year-end 2021. This compares with outstanding borrowings of $1.9 million and borrowing availability of $2.1 million at year-end 2020.

In November 2021, the Company entered into an at-the-market, or ATM, facility with H.C. Wainwright, pursuant to which eMagin may currently offer and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million. The Company anticipates that the ATM facility will provide additional liquidity during 2022.
