Announces $6 Million Program with U.S. Army Research Center
BELLEVUE, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
eMagin Corporation (OTCBB: EMAN), the leader in OLED technology for the design
and manufacture of OLED microdisplays for high resolution imaging products,
issued financial results for its third quarter ending September 30, 2009. 

Andrew Sculley, eMagin`s president and chief executive officer, commented, "I am
pleased to report that eMagin posted record sales and solid profits in the third
quarter 2009, while securing an important military contract that will contribute
to continued growth in future quarters. Higher customer demand for the Company`s
proprietary OLED microdisplays drove our positive financial results, with
quarterly revenues exceeding $6.1 million while total revenues for the first
nine months rose to $17.1 million, a 27% increase as compared to the equivalent
period last year. Gross profit for the quarter rose by 47% to $3.5 million, as
the Company has seen substantial improvement of its manufacturing yield and
gross margin since last year. eMagin also gained momentum this quarter by
commencing the next phase of a multiple year contract with the US Army
Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, receiving orders for
custom display development, and achieving a new design win for a monocular
military device made by Liteye Systems." 

"The credit agreement reached during the third quarter will provide access to
additional funds that can be used to help finance our capital program as we
continue to sign contracts within the military and further our strategic growth
into other key markets," continued Mr. Sculley. 

Quarterly Results

eMagin Corporation generated revenue of $6.1 million for the third quarter of
2009 which represented a 17.8% increase over the prior year. Year to date,
revenues are up 27% over 2008. Gross margin was 57% of revenue on gross profit
of $3.5 million for the quarter compared to a gross margin of 46% for the same
period in 2008. The gross margin for the period reflects the overall improvement
to manufacturing processes that the Company has made over the past year to
improve yield, and reductions in royalty and warranty expense, partially offset
by higher contract costs. 

Operating expenses in the quarter as a percentage of revenues were 37%. This is
up from the 31% reported in the third quarter of 2008, but down from 40% in the
second quarter of 2009. The increase from third quarter 2008 is due to an
increase in personnel costs, stock option expense, and professional services. 

Operating income for the period totaled $1.3 million compared to $785,000 in the
third quarter of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $1.2 million
or $0.04 per diluted share versus net income of $361,000 or $0.02 per diluted
share in the same period last year. 

eMagin continued to see steady improvement in the strength of its balance sheet
due to an increase in cash provided by operations and the elimination of its
debt. The Company retired all of its remaining debt during the third quarter.
The Company`s cash balance of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2009, was higher
than the $2.4 million as of December 31, 2008, a result which reflects cash from
operations of approximately $3.5 million offset by approximately $2.2 million
which was used for financing and investing activities. 

Highlights

* eMagin has begun work on a $6 million, 2 year phase of a multi-year program
with the US Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) to
develop an ultra-high resolution 3D-capable microdisplay for telemedicine
applications. This WUXGA (1920 x 1280 triad pixels) display will enable HMD
virtual reality equipment to be used for enhanced training by medical
professionals in traditional and innovative procedures, and is also suitable for
numerous military and commercial applications. 
* eMagin`s SVGA+ OLED microdisplay is a key component in Liteye Systems` Model
750A HMD display product that has been incorporated into the Belgian-based Space
Applications Services` Wearable Augmented Reality program developed by the
European Space Agency. The lightweight, compact prototype device superimposes
text, graphics and video onto an astronaut`s field of view. The device has
already been successfully tested in the International Space Station and other
applications are being considered. 
* For the third year in a row, eMagin has been recognized by Deloitte LLP as
part of its Fast 500 ranking. eMagin ranked 10th among companies located in
Washington and 309th for the fastest growing technology, media,
telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North
America.

Outlook

"With continued increases in income and cash flow from operations, as well as a
new credit line and no debt, the Company is in an excellent position to advance
in both the military and consumer markets," noted Mr. Sculley.
