SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermolecular, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMI )-accelerating research and development (R&D) for semiconductor and clean energy industries-today announced results for its full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Full Year 2013 Results
For the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue was $67.4 million compared to revenue of $66.8 million in 2012. Net loss for 2013 was $(8.8) million, or $(0.20) per share, compared with a net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.02) per share for 2012.
Intermolecular reports revenue, cost of revenue, gross margin, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and additionally on a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures, 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.
Non-GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $(3.3) million or $(0.07) per share. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $2.9 million or $0.06 per share for 2012.
Today, Intermolecular also announced a reduction in its workforce of approximately 18% of full time headcount, resulting in estimated, annualized savings between $6 million to $7 million, which will be reflected in cost of revenue associated with the Company's collaborative development programs (CDPs) and operating expenses. In connection with the action, the Company will recognize a charge of approximately $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2014.
"We experienced reductions in our CDP services with certain customers that impacted growth last year. We have taken steps to improve operational execution, strengthen our sales pipeline, and maintain the strength of our balance sheet," said David Lazovsky, President and CEO of Intermolecular. "Despite the near term challenges, the fundamentals of our intellectual property-based business model have continued to improve. In 2013, we grew meaningfully the revenue base for future licensing and royalty streams, and we maintained a high pace of IP generation, filing for 261 US patents, the majority of which are royalty-bearing in the future. Our collaborative development programs remain on the critical path of the majority of our customers' product roadmaps and multiple new products resulting from our CDPs are expected to transition into production this year. We believe the measures we have taken in 2014 will allow us to continue to add to our growing number of licensing and royalty agreements, and to reinforce our ability to execute with our customers to bring new, advanced semiconductors and clean energy products to market."
Fourth Quarter 2013 Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $15.6 million, compared to $17.4 million in the same period a year ago. CDP and services revenue was $10.9 million for the quarter, compared to $11.6 million in the prior year, reflecting declines in the Company's programs in advanced materials, and advanced logic semiconductors, partially offset by expansion of the Company's program in DRAM to include non-volatile memory and entry into the LED sector. Licensing and royalty revenue was $3.9 million, compared to $5.8 million for the same period a year ago which included a buy-out of IP. Product revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $0.9 million.
As reported under GAAP, the Company reported a net loss of $(4.4) million or $(0.10) per share for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $(3.0) million or $(0.07) per share. This compared with non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million or $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter of 2012.
The Company ended 2013 with total backlog of $56.4 million, of which approximately $30 million is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2014.
Outlook for First Quarter 2014
The following statements are based on current expectations for the first quarter of 2014. The Company does not plan to update, nor does it undertake any obligation to update, this outlook in the future.
- Intermolecular projects revenue in the range of $15.0 to $16.0 million. This revenue projection includes approximately $11 million from reported backlog as of December 31, 2013, and an accelerated payment from GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
- Non-GAAP net loss, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and a restructuring charge, is projected between $(0.5) million and $(1.5) million, or between $(0.01) to ($0.03) per share, on approximately 46 million 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 net revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income, earnings per share and net (loss) income 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.
