Intermolecular Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Recent CDP and IP Agreements with Micron and Epistar -Further Expanding in Memory, and Diversifying into LED
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 25, 2013 -- Intermolecular, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMI)-accelerating research and development (R&D) for semiconductor and clean energy industries-today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $17.4 million, representing 6% growth on a year-over-year basis. Collaborative development program (or CDP) revenue was $10.9 million for the quarter, compared to $12.2 million in the prior year. Licensing and royalty revenue was $3.4 million, compared to $3.5 million for the same period a year ago. Product revenue was $3.1 million compared to $0.7 million reported in the year-ago period.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 2013 was 55.0%, as compared to 62.5% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decline primarily reflected a sequential change in revenue mix, as the fourth quarter of 2012 benefited from an IP asset sale, which contributed to higher-margin licensing and royalty revenue of $5.8 million, or 33.3% of total revenue, compared to $3.4 million, or 19.6% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2013.
For the first quarter of 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $(1.5) million or $(0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of $(0.2) million, or $(0.00) per share for the first quarter of 2012.
Intermolecular reports revenue, costs of revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in accordance with GAAP and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measure, 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.
On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $(0.1) million or $(0.00) per share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share in the first quarter of 2012.
“So far in 2013, we've made significant progress expanding and diversifying the business - in April, we announced a milestone, multi-year CDP and IP licensing agreement with Micron, which ensures monetization of our developed technology and IP in DRAM, and expands our licensing opportunity to Micron's non-volatile memory products,” said David Lazovsky, President and CEO of Intermolecular, Inc. “By signing Epistar, a top five LED device manufacturer, to a CDP and royalty-bearing IP licensing agreement, we continue to execute on our growth and diversification strategy. In addition, in Q2 we expect to re-align our CDP engagement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to focus on their highest priority projects. While this would be expected to reduce our near-term CDP revenue from GLOBALFOUNDRIES it should facilitate future growth of royalty revenue from them as we will be more focused on their critical path projects.”
Cash flows from operations for the first quarter of 2013 were $3.8 million, primarily resulting from licensing and scheduled service prepayments. The Company invested $1.5 million in capital expenditures in the first quarter, and ended the quarter with cash and investments of $81.0 million.
Outlook for Second Quarter 2013
The following statements are based on current expectations for the second quarter of 2013.
The Company projects revenue in the range of $16.0 to $17.0 million. This revenue projection includes $12.3 million from reported backlog as of March 31, 2013, and also takes into account the expected re-alignment of the Company's CDP program with GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
Non-GAAP net income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, is projected between a non-GAAP net loss of ($1.0) million and breakeven, or between ($0.02) per share to $0.00 per share, on approximately 45 million basic and 49 million diluted 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. 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 revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) 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.
