eMagin Reports Preliminary Second Quarter 2011 Results

BELLEVUE, WA – August 11, 2011 - eMagin Corporation (NYSE Amex: EMAN), the leader in OLED technology for the design and manufacture of OLED microdisplays for high resolution imaging products, announced today preliminary financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

“Second quarter revenue was in line with our expectations and we returned to profitability. Revenue and operating profit increased substantially from the first quarter due in large part to higher revenues and our mostly fixed cost structure so that additions to revenue flow at a high percentage to the bottom-line,” stated Andrew G. Sculley, President and CEO.

Preliminary Operating Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $7.4 million versus $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2010. Revenues were 37% higher than first quarter. Year-over-year revenues declined primarily due to lower R&D contract revenue and a shortfall to planned production.

On a sequential basis, the gross margin improved from the 41% reported in the first quarter of 2011, as revenues increased and production improved.

Gross margin decreased from second quarter last year to 49% of revenue on gross profit of $3.6 million compared to a gross margin of 57% on gross profit of $4.7 million last year. The decline in gross margin was due primarily to higher costs related to production and costs being spread over a lower revenue base.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $3.0 million versus $3.8 million for the prior year period. The decrease in operating expenses was the result of a reduction in legal fees and severance expense partially offset by an increase in personnel costs. SG&A was 30% of sales versus 38% of sales a year ago.

Second quarter operating income was $623,375 as compared to $959,534 in the year ago period. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million in the second quarter.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $12.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments in certificates of deposit, compared to $12.4 million on December 31, 2010.

eMagin requires extra time to complete its full Q2 earnings release due to a recent change in audit firms, and to address the issue of accounting treatment of warrants, as well as a change in the method of calculating earnings per share. The new auditors have recommended a change to the two class method for calculating EPS. This change does not impact Q2 diluted EPS, but has a $0.01 reduction to basic EPS for Q2 and is also expected to have an impact on historical basic EPS, but an immaterial impact on diluted EPS. Resolution of the warrant treatment could impact second quarter earnings per share as well as reported historical EPS. However, this change would only impact the income statement below the operating line and is non-cash in nature. As soon as a determination regarding these items is made, a complete earnings report will be released.

“The Company’s domestic and international business remains strong and our backlog continues to grow,” continued Mr. Sculley. “While the gap between actual production and planned production narrowed during the period, we did not achieve as much improvement in yield and production as we had anticipated. We will continue to address our production output and expect to see further improvements in the second half of the year.

“Later this year, we plan to bring our new seal machine and next-generation OLED deposition machine on-line. The new seal machine should give us an increase in yield. The new deposition machine is expected to provide a 10-fold increase in deposition capacity and to also increase yield significantly.”

Mr. Sculley continued, “I am also pleased to report that our new in-house design team has already demonstrated a much quicker turnaround time for new product development ideas and designs, and integration between our design team, manufacturing team and the Company’s wafer manufacturer has been greatly enhanced.”

Highlights

§	The Company received record bookings of $8.4 million bolstered by $2.6 million in bookings from several new, large, commercial customers in high-end camera and vision enhancement applications. In addition, military bookings and deliveries continued to grow.

§	In May, at the Society of Information Display (SID) Conference in Los Angeles, California, the Company demonstrated its new WUXGA OLED, the TATRC Phase I HMD and the ultra bright Rev3 XL monochrome OLEDs.

§	In June, eMagin was added to the Russell Global and Russell 3000 Indexes. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies.

In July, eMagin formed a partnership with the University of Rochester to develop next-generation organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) for high-efficiency, solid-state lighting systems. The research effort is being funded by the U.S. Department of Energy in a three-year, $1.3 million effort to more than triple the light output of the current generation of OLEDs. The grant was awarded to the University of Rochester and eMagin Corporation. eMagin will receive a portion of the award amount for its work on the project.

eMagin continued to ship its display beam combiner assemblies (DBCA), which include the Company's OLED-XL microdisplays, under the subcontract received from ITT Corporation in the summer of 2010 for the Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) program. The U.S. Army is expected to select one or more prime contractors for the production phase of the program in the near term. eMagin's subcontract has a potential value of $15.2 million.

§	eMagin won an extension from Night Vision Labs worth $0.5 million for the remainder of 2011. The Company will be working with the foundry on a novel wafer design.

Outlook

eMagin is guiding to 2011 revenue of between $29.0 and $33.0 million. This guidance is based on current market conditions, the Company’s backlog under existing contracts, production capacity and potential new business.
