CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cambridge Display Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:OLED) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2006. The Company is a pioneer in the development of polymer light emitting diode (P-OLED) technology.
Revenues in the quarter were $2.7 million, which was the same as the $2.7 million reported for the corresponding period in 2005. The majority of revenues in Q2 2006 arose in the License Fees and Royalties category.
Gross profit for Q2 2006 was $2.4 million, compared with $2.0 million for the corresponding period last year.
Research and Development expenses were $3.2 million; $1.0 million lower than the $4.2 million reported in the second quarter of 2005. This reduction was primarily due to the $1.9 million reimbursement of a R & D expenses by our 50% owned joint venture Sumation (which was formed in November 2005) in the current quarter, partially offset by lower government grant receipts and additional effort expended on research programs.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $3.6 million, compared with $4.4 million in 2005, due to a reversal of stock compensation expense which had previously been accrued and due to re-imbursement of expenses by Sumation.
Net loss for Q2 2006 was $5.0 million, compared with $6.7 million for the same quarter in 2005.
Cash generated by operations was $1.2 million during the second quarter, compared with cash used of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 primarily due to the funding of R & D reimbursements, in advance, by Sumation. During the quarter, the Company invested $3.3 million in Sumation, and invested $0.4 million in fixed assets.
The Company's cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities totaled $23.0 million at June 30, 2006, compared with $31.3 million at December 31, 2005.
CEO Dr. David Fyfe commented: "In the second quarter we were delighted to see Sharp reveal their work on high resolution P-OLED displays at the SID conference in June. At the same conference we were able to show the world's first roll printed OLED display, produced in co-operation with Toppan Printing. This printing technology could become very important in future for lower cost display production." "The second quarter has seen us open up new territories with sales of inkjet printing solutions to Brazil and Singapore, enabling Government-backed institutions there to develop P-OLED capability. We believe that there is evidence of an emerging trend for fast developing economies to refuse to accept that the display industry will continue to be concentrated in a few nations. We have also seen an encouraging number of new commercial applications utilizing our technology, from digital radios and MP3 players to diving computers." The Company will be holding a conference call to discuss these results. Interested investors may listen to a live web cast on Tuesday August 15, 2006 at 3:00 pm ET, (8:00 pm BST).
