Digimarc Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Beaverton, Ore. — April 29, 2020 — Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), creator of the Digimarc Platform for automatic identification, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
First Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2020 increased nine percent to $6.2 million compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher subscription revenue from Retail customers.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 increased seven percent to $13.0 million compared to $12.2 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher headcount and routine annual compensation adjustments for employees.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2020 increased four percent to $9.1 million compared to $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increased operating loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher revenue.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2020 increased five percent to $8.9 million or $(0.74) per diluted share compared to net loss of $8.5 million or $(0.74) per diluted share in the same quarter a year-ago.
At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $30.6 million compared to $36.8 million at December 31, 2019.
