| Kopin Provides Business Update and Second Quarter 2018 Operating Results |
- SOLOS® Smart Glasses Begin Shipping
- Launches Golden-i™ Infinity
- Received First Production Order for FWS-I Units
- Revises Full Year Revenue Guidance to $30 million to $35 million
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ: KOPN),
a leading developer of innovative wearable computing technologies and
solutions, today provided an update on its business initiatives and
reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
"The commercialization of SOLOS, our smart glasses for cyclists,
triathletes and runners, was a highlight of the second quarter," said
Dr. John C.C. Fan, CEO of Kopin Corp. "SOLOS, which has been described
as the most advanced AR smart glasses available for sports and consumer
fitness, became available in May. SOLOS uses our Pupil®
display module and Whisper® voice extraction technology to
allow athletes to view data as if it is floating in front of them and
receive information through audio messages. SOLOS smart glasses are
currently available at www.solos-wearables.com
and we have started expanding distribution to select locations of sports
and technology retailers across the country. In addition to partnering
with USA Cycling, SOLOS was recently named the Official Smart Glasses
Partner of IRONMAN, which hosts endurance sporting events around the
globe. We continue to identify opportunities like the IRONMAN
partnership to raise the visibility of SOLOS with key audiences. It is
still early days for SOLOS but we are excited about the reception from
athletes around the world.
"We introduced a second revolutionary product in the quarter - the
Golden- iTM Infinity which is targeted to industrial workers.
The Golden-i Infinity smart screen is the first wearable device that
supports Android and Windows 10-based computing solutions. The Golden-i
Infinity utilizes our display and Whisper voice technology and it
connects to a worker's smart phone or mini PC via a cable to make the
headset lighter and less costly. We have seen significant interest from
major industrial and enterprise companies. We expect to begin pilot
tests in September with Fortune 500 customers and the professional value
added reseller (VAR) channels."
Dr. Fan continued, "We were pleased to see that the US Defense
Department and Lockheed Martin recently reached an agreement for a new
order of the F-35 fighter jets, where Kopin is the sole supplier of
displays for the pilots' helmets. This order supports the F-35 program
as a $100 million long term revenue opportunity for Kopin. In the second
quarter, we were finally fully qualified for the FWS-I program and we
are delighted to have received the first production order which we
expect to begin shipping in October 2018. Although it is several months
later than originally estimated, we are excited that production has
started. We expect the FWS program, like our previous TWS program, to
last for many years and we believe it is also a $100 million revenue
opportunity for Kopin. In the second quarter of 2018 we commenced
development work on a display system for a recently awarded armored
vehicle program. Finally, we continue to see strong forecasted demand
from our customers manufacturing a variety of AR headsets targeting the
industrial wearable market. We believe their traction proves that AR is
close to an inflection point for enterprise and industrial customers.
"Overall, we are pleased with the progress of our efforts in moving our
development activities to products, production and commercialization.
However, some delays in our business ramp up, primarily in the military,
will impact our anticipated rapid revenue growth in the second half of
this year," concluded Dr. Fan.
SecondQuarter Financial Results
Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 were $5.9
million, compared with $5.9 million for the second quarter ended June
30, 2017.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2018
were $4.5 million compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of
2017.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $6.9 million
for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $5.2 million for the second
quarter of 2017.
Net loss attributable to the controlling interest for the second quarter
of 2018 was $9.2 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with net loss of
$7.3 million, or $0.10 per share, for the second quarter of 2017.
During the second quarter of 2018 Kopin had 11 patents granted and filed
for 6 new applications. Kopin has over 300 patents and patents pending,
almost all of which are related to wearable applications.
Net cash used in operating activities for the second quarter ended June
30, 2018 was approximately $13.2 million. Kopin has maintained a strong
financial position with cash and equivalents and marketable securities
were approximately $53.4 million at June 30, 2018.
"We expect full year revenues will be $30 million to $35 million, below
the $35-40 million we originally expected," said Richard Sneider,
Kopin's CFO. "There is no change to our expectation of achieving
breakeven on profitability by the end of 2019." Effective December 31,
2017, Kopin adopted ASC Topic 606 using the "modified retrospective"
approach, meaning the standard was applied only to the financial results
of fiscal year 2018 with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
Under this transition method, Kopin applied the standard only to
contracts that were not complete at the initial adoption date.
The following tables shows the impact of adoption of Topic 606 on the
three and six months periods ended June 30, 2018 results of operations
