Investor Webcast and Business Update Set for May 25th, 1 pm ET
MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - May 17, 2016) - PEN Inc. (OTCQB: PENC) ("PEN" or "the Company"), a global leader in developing, commercializing and marketing consumer and industrial products enabled by nanotechnology, yesterday reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
/EINPresswire.com/ -- Scott Rickert, PEN's President, Chairman and CEO, said: "During the first quarter of 2016, we remained focused on building a consumer products business with great products enabled by nanotechnology and friendly to the environment. We continue to roll out new products and formulations, most recently our CLARITY™ FREE alcohol-free eyeglass cleaner. We are also making inroads into the mass market retail channel for our CLARITY™ branded products. Our Design Center in Austin, Texas has attracted considerable interest for its groundbreaking work in graphene foil used in medical imaging and its inkjet multifunctional copper ink for 3D printed electronics.
"I am confident that the impressive efforts of our team in cutting costs and becoming more efficient will enable us to turn the corner to profitability. Thanks to our effort over the last year to realign operations, our cost structure is much improved and will be a boost to our results going forward."
First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, total revenues were $1,979,161 with a net loss of $119,935 ($0.04) per basic and fully diluted share. In the comparable period in 2015, revenues were$3,067,741 with a net loss of $185,392 ($0.06) per basic and fully diluted share).
Product Segment -- Optical, Surface Treatments & Coatings and Related Products
Sales from PEN's Product segment were $1,693,280, as compared to $2,437,314 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Due to variability in the timing of purchases by large customers, the Company's revenue from the product segment can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
Gross margin in the Product segment was 45%, up from 42% in the year ago period, primarily due to differences in the assortment of optical products sold.
Nanotechnology R&D Contract Services Segment
Revenues from Research and development services were $285,881 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $630,427 in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenue from Research and development services was primarily due to fewer contracts being performed in the current quarter.
Gross margin from Research and development services was negative 10%, down from 19% in the year ago period. The decrease in gross margin was due to fewer research projects being performed and the allocation of fixed overhead and salaries to the reduced number of projects.
For the first quarter of 2016, overall gross profit amounted to $731,124, down from $1,152,638 for the first quarter of 2015. Gross margin was 37%, compared to 38% in the year ago period. The slight decrease in gross margin was attributable to negative gross margin in the Research and development services segment which was largely offset by higher gross margin from the Product segment.
Operating expenses totaled $876,398 in the first quarter of 2016, down 33% from $1,312,188 in the first quarter of 2015. Management continued to implement aggressive cost-cutting measures to right-size operations, resulting in lower operating expenses across the board.
Operating loss was $145,274 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to an operating loss of $159,550 in the first quarter of 2015.
Other income, net was $28,176 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to other expense, net of $20,898 in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to $49,479 in sales of used equipment in Austin.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 amounted to $119,935, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $185,392, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were based on 2,997,646 and 2,967,870 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. All share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect a 1-for-180 reverse stock split effective January 26, 2016.
