Implant Sciences Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results

WILMINGTON, Mass., Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for the homeland security market and related industries, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014.

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 decreased 32.0%, to $2.1 million, from $3.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $6.2 million as compared with a net loss of $4.4 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1.8 million.

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014 decreased 7.1%, to $4.0 million, from $4.3 million for the comparable prior year period. Our net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $11.6 million as compared with a net loss of $10.4 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1.2 million.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, warrants issued to non-employees and common stock issued to consultants ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which is reconciled to net loss in this press release, were a loss of $3,515,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to a loss of $1,891,000 in the comparable prior year period and for the six months ended December 31, 2014, a loss of $5,843,000 compared to a loss of $4,598,000 in the comparable prior year period.

William McGann, President and CEO of Implant Sciences, commented, "During the recently concluded quarter we secured product approvals in Russia and China, which we believe positions the Company for consistent and sustainable growth. Coupled with our execution of an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") contract with the TSA for up to $162 million and the receipt of an initial delivery order under this IDIQ from the TSA for 1,170 QS-B220's and ancillary services and supplies in November 2014, we have taken important steps to broaden the markets we serve, increase our revenue opportunities, and improve our financial stability. We remain confident about our future prospects."

Details for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 follow below.

Three months Ended December 31, 2014 vs. December 31, 2013

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $2,141,000 as compared with $3,150,000 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $1,009,000, or 32.0%. The decrease in revenue is due primarily to: a 31.6% decrease in the number of QS-B220 desktop units sold in the three months ended December 31, 2014, due to decreased shipments to U.S. air cargo screening facilities in the current three month period and a 3.6% decrease in the average unit sales prices, which resulted in a 34.0% decrease in QS-B220 revenues; a 25.0% decrease in the number of QS-H150 handheld units sold, compared to the prior period, due to decreased shipments to Japan and a 15.6% decrease in the average unit sales prices, which resulted in a 36.7% decrease in QS-H150 revenues, offset partially by a 50.4% increase in sales of parts and supplies.

Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $364,000 or 17.0% of revenues as compared with $1,170,000 or 37.1% of revenues for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross margin as a percent of revenues is primarily the result of a decrease in the average unit sell process on sales of our QS-H150 units and our QS-B220 units of 15.6% and 3.6%, respectively, decreased manufacturing overhead absorption due to decreased QS-B220 unit volume and by a $36,000 increase in stock-based compensation.

Research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $1,288,000 as compared with $1,191,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $97,000 or 8.1%. The increase in research and development expense is due primarily to a $48,000 increase in payroll and related benefit costs, a $33,000 increase in stock-based compensation, a $31,000 increase in travel expenses incurred in support of our government qualifications, a $30,000 increase in prototype expense, offset partially by a $45,000 decrease in engineering consulting fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $3,195,000 as compared with $2,686,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $509,000, or 19.0%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due primarily to a $764,000 increase in payroll and related benefit due to the resignation of our former CEO, $42,000 increase in bad debt expense and a $32,000 increase in legal expenses. Partially offsetting these increases are a $218,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense on non-employee warrants, a $63,000 decrease in consulting expense, and a $55,000 decrease in in variable selling expenses due to lower revenues.

For the three months ended December 31, 2014, other expense was $2,125,000 as compared with other expense of $1,674,000, for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $451,000. The increase is due to increased interest expense on higher borrowings under our credit facility with DMRJ and our credit facility with BAM.

Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $6,244,000 as compared with a net loss of $4,381,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1,863,000, or 42.5%. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to costs incurred due to the resignation of our former CEO, decreased sales and gross margin and an increase in interest expense.

Six months Ended December 31, 2014 vs. December 31, 2013

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $4,010,000 as compared with $4,315,000 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $305,000, or 7.1%. The decrease in revenue is due primarily to a 22.5% decrease in the number of QS-B220 desktop units sold in the six months ended December 31, 2014, due to decreased shipments to U.S. air cargo screening facilities in the current six month period and a 4.8% decrease in the average unit sales prices, which resulted in a 26.2% decrease in QS-B220 revenue, offset partially by a 35.8% increase in the number of QS-H150 handheld units sold, compared to the prior period, due to increased shipments to China and Africa, a 13.4% decrease in the average unit sales prices, which resulted in a 17.7% increase in QS-H150 revenues and to a lesser extent by a 55.7% increase in sales of parts and supplies.

Gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $982,000 or 24.5% of revenues as compared with $1,383,000 or 32.1% of revenues for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross margin as a percent of revenues is primarily the result of a decrease in the average unit sell process on sales of our QS-H150 units and our QS-B220 units of 13.4% and 4.8%, respectively, decreased manufacturing overhead absorption due to decreased QS-B220 unit volume, offset partially by a $9,000 decrease in stock-based compensation.

Research and development expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $2,572,000 as compared with $2,422,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $150,000 or 6.2%. The increase in research and development expense is due primarily to a $70,000 increase in payroll and related benefit costs, a $80,000 increase in prototype expense and materials, a $30,000 increase in travel expenses incurred in support of our government qualifications and a $29,000 increase in government qualification testing fees, offset partially by a $61,000 decrease in engineering consulting fees and a $4,000 decrease in stock-based compensation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $5,870,000 as compared with $6,094,000 for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $224,000, or 3.7%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is due primarily a $586,000 decrease in stock-based compensation, a $253,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense on non-employee warrants, an $84,000 decrease in occupancy costs due to the relocation of our corporate offices in July 2013, $66,000 decrease in consulting expense and the $42,000 loss on the disposal of machinery and equipment recorded in the prior year period. Partially offsetting these decreases are a $725,000 increase in payroll and related benefits due to the resignation of our former CEO, a $45,000 increase in legal fees and a $44,000 increase in bad debt expense.

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, other expense was $4,159,000 as compared with other expense of $3,269,000, for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $890,000. The increase is due to increased interest expense on higher borrowings under our credit facility with DMRJ and our credit facility with BAM.

Our net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $11,619,000 as compared with a net loss of $10,402,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1,217,000, or 11.7%. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to lower sales and gross margin, costs incurred due to the resignation of our former CEO and an increase in interest expense.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, fair value of warrants issued to non-employees and the fair value of common stock issued to consultants. EBITDA is commonly used in the technology industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA to enhance your understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal performance measurement and believe that it provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures and capital investment among otherwise comparable companies and improves comparability of results of operations. Management uses this supplemental measure to evaluate performance over a period of time and to analyze underlying trends in the Company's business and to establish operational goals and forecast that are used in allocating resources. We expect to compute our non-GAAP financial measure, using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and year to year.

'While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors, it is not a measurement presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA has inherent material limitations as a performance measure. It does not include interest expense, but because we have borrowed money, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation. Since we have capital assets, depreciation expense is a necessary element of our costs. Adjusted EBITDA does not include stock-based compensation, which is a necessary element of our costs since we issue stock awards to employees as an important incentive to maximize overall company performance and as a benefit of employment with the company. Adjusted EBITDA does not include the fair value of warrants issued to non-employees, which is a necessary element of our costs since we have issued warrants to non-employees and as part of our financing strategy. Finally, Adjusted EBITDA does not include the fair value of common stock issued to consultants, which is a necessary element of our costs since we have issued shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payments to consultants we have retained. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
