Kopin Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2023

  • Second quarter revenues of $10.5 million
  • Third consecutive quarter of positive book-to-bill
  • Second quarter net loss included $3.3 million of non-cash loss on equity investments
  • Partnered with MIT’s CSAIL Artificial Intelligence Development Lab

Kopin Corporation ("Kopin" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: KOPN), a leading developer and provider of high-performance application-specific optical solutions consisting of high-resolution microdisplays, microdisplays subassemblies and related components for defense, enterprise, industrial, and consumer products, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023.

"The second quarter of 2023 showed continued progress on our strategy to reset the course and focus within Kopin," said Michael Murray, Kopin's Chief Executive Officer. "The dedication of our team, the improvements in our manufacturing processes and equipment have allowed Kopin to maintain a high ratio of on-time and in-full delivery. I’m proud to announce an additional benefit of greater customer satisfaction: our second quarter of 2023 saw our third consecutive quarter of positive book to bill ratio. In addition, with our recently announced $12.8 million follow-on order from a strategic customer, our third quarter bookings are off to a fantastic start. The increased size of this order is a direct result of our intense focus on improved customer engagement, quality, and timeliness.

"We continue to make progress on disciplined cost controls on the business. We strategically reduced research & development ('R&D') expenses and normalized selling, general and administration expenses ('SG&A') excluding higher than typical legal costs in the quarter due to trademarking, patenting, and an ongoing litigation. We are encouraged to see the benefits of these efforts as more revenues find their way to the bottom line. We remain slightly ahead of our goals on our strategic initiatives, which are the bedrock for significant and sustainable revenue and profitable growth in 2024.

Mr. Murray concluded: "Looking ahead, we have significantly increased order cover, at improved gross margins due to price increases negotiated with several key customers. We continue to focus on driving new customer design activities to fuel our future product pipeline and growth. The increased demand for Kopin’s technologies is driven by the need for advanced augmentation and visualization of the analog and digital environments. In the second quarter, we joined MIT’s CSAIL program to better align with cutting edge Artificial Intelligence focused on solving visual and human-centric issues with augmented and virtual systems. Indeed, we believe Kopin is well positioned to deliver exciting new technologies, revenues and long term sustainable growth."

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023, were $10.5 million, compared to $11.9 million for the second quarter ended June 25, 2022, a 12% decrease. Product revenues for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023, were $6.0 million, compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter ended June 25, 2022. The decrease in product revenues was a result of lower defense product revenues, which decreased by $2.0 million or 28% year over year, and industrial product revenues, which decreased by $0.7 million or 43%, year over year. We believe industrial product revenues were lower due to less demand from China. In the second quarter of 2023, funded research and development revenues increased by $1.1 million or 39% due to increased funding for display systems initially used in defense programs.

Cost of Product Revenues for the second quarter of 2023 was $5.7 million, or 95% of net product revenues, compared with $7.9 million, or 88% of net product revenues, for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in cost of product revenues as a percent of product revenues was the result of lower efficiencies from reduced product sales volumes as well as a year over year increase in non-cash stock compensation cost of $415,000. Excluding the increase in stock compensation cost, Cost of Product Revenues would have been 88% of net product revenue.

R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $3.1 million compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, a 39% decrease year over year. The decrease in R&D expense is attributable to some customer-funded programs transitioning to production and a reduction of OLED development costs due to the first quarter of 2023 spinout of certain OLED development to Lightning Silicon.

SG&A expenses were $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to legal expenses of approximately $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, and bad debt expense of approximately $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to bad debt recoveries of approximately $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Other income and expense in the second quarter of 2023 included $3.3 million of non-cash impairment losses on equity investments.

Net Loss Attributable to Kopin for the second quarter of 2023 was ($8.2) million, or ($0.07) per share, compared with Net Loss Attributable to Kopin of ($5.6) million, or ($0.06) per share, for the second quarter of 2022.

All amounts above are estimates and readers should refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2023, for final disposition as well as important risk factors.
