	●	Operating expenses of $2.2 million, an increase of 6.3% compared to the same period in the prior year.

	●	Cash used by operations of $1.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
	●	Cash and accounts receivable of $19.4 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to $16.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

THE CEO’S COMMENTS

 

“Our licensing revenues in Q3 were slightly lower than in Q2 and the same period last year, but our licensing business shows good long-term stability and licensing revenues year-to-date are on a similar level as last year. Our product sales revenues in Q3 were higher than in Q2 but, because of the slow sales in the first half of the year, products sales revenues during the first nine months are significantly lower than in the same period last year,” said Dr. Urban Forssell, Neonode’s CEO.

 

“We are addressing the lack of growth in our business in different ways. Strategically we continue to evaluate the different market segments in which we are active and prioritize the ones where our products have the greatest potential. Tactically we also constantly monitor our sales performance and adjust resource allocation to maximize our chances of winning new businesses and creating beachheads from which we can expand further. We feel that we are on the right track in the challenge to grow our business and return to profitability and are encouraged by the interest for our different products and offerings that we receive from customers, especially in the Automotive, Medtech, and Interactive Kiosk sectors. We are therefore optimistic about the future growth potential for our business,” concluded Dr. Forssell.

 

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

 

Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $1.0 million, a 17.5% decrease compared to the same period in 2022. For the 2023 period, license revenues were $0.8 million. This is a decrease of 20.0% compared to the 2022 period and is caused by lower sales volumes for our customers during the third quarter of 2023.

 

Revenues from product sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $0.2 million, a 5.2% increase compared to the same period in 2022. We continue with the focused marketing and sales campaigns and updates to our partner network.

 

Gross margin related to products was negative 39.3% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 48.4% in the same period in 2022. The gross margin for products varies with the product mix. The gross margin for products for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is impacted by a one-time cost related to a customer claim.

 

Our operating expenses increased by 6.3% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher professional fees.

 

Net loss attributable to Neonode for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.3 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.06 per share, for the same period in 2022. Cash used by operations was $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily the result of component purchases in the third quarter of 2023.

 

Cash and accounts receivable totaled $19.4 million and working capital was $22.7 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to $16.3 million and $19.1 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

2023 - 11 - 09 21 © Neonode 2001 - 2023 · www.neonode.com · NASDAQ : NEON · Classification : Non - GAAP Financial Measures Open In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sta tes (“GAAP”), we use adjusted gross margin to measure our financial performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding AirBar sales revenues and costs and adjusting for costs and lost revenues caused by a quality issue and one - time write - down of inventory. We believe a djusted gross margin is a meaningful measure because it reflects the performance of our TSM business, which is our current focus. Non - GAAP fin ancial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our use of adjuste d g ross margin, a non - GAAP financial measure, has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider adjusted gross margin in isolation or as substitutes for ana lysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition of non - GAAP adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measu res of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. The following tables presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP fi nan cial measure. kUSD Q1-20 Q2-20 Q3-20 Q4-20 Q1-21 Q2-21 Q3-21 Q4-21 Q1-22 Q2-22 Q3-22 Q4-22 Q1-23 Q2-23 Q3-23 Revenue Products 98 66 284 502 355 346 136 118 147 210 155 483 102 84 163 Cost of Sales Products -36 -72 -198 -496 -270 -212 -98 -342 -51 -93 -80 -552 -47 -28 -227 Gross Profit Products 62 -6 86 6 85 134 38 -224 96 117 75 -69 55 56 -64 Lost revenues TSM quality issue - - - - - -14 12 92 - - - - - - - Cost of sales TSM quality issue - - - - - 4 27 -61 - - - - - - 143 Inventory write-down TSM quality issue - - - - - - - 154 - - - 294 - - - Revenue AirBar 1 -0 -60 -21 -43 - - - -13 - - - -4 - - Cost of Sales AirBar -23 27 86 123 39 -4 -7 149 - - - - - - - Adjusted Gross Profit Products 40 21 112 109 81 120 70 110 83 117 75 225 51 56 79 Gross Margin Products 63% -9% 30% 1% 24% 39% 28% -190% 65% 56% 48% -14% 54% 67% -39% Adjusted Gross Margin Products 40% 32% 50% 23% 26% 36% 47% 52% 62% 56% 48% 47% 52% 67% 48%
