Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Intermolecular, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019. Certain amounts in the prior year’s presentations have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other future interim period or full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On May 6, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with EMD Group Holding II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (Parent) and EMD Performance Materials Semiconductor Services Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Surviving Corporation). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Executive Board of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (each such share, a Company Share and collectively the Company Shares), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding (i) any shares owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub (which will be canceled) and (ii) any shares with respect to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised under Delaware law (Dissenting Company Shares)) will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $1.20 in cash, without interest thereon (the Merger Consideration).

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each option to purchase Company Shares (each a Company Option) that remains outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full, (ii) each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (iii) the holder of each such Company Option shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the per share exercise price of such Company Option.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each award of restricted stock units or performance stock units (each a Company RSU Award) that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full (with any applicable performance criteria being deemed achieved at the maximum possible level of achievement for such performance criteria), (ii) each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (iii) the holder of each such Company RSU Award shall be entitled to be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Merger Consideration.

7


The total Merger Consideration represents an equity value of approximately $62. 3 million and an enterprise value of approximately $3 8 . 4 million, after accounting for the acceleration of equity awards and the Company’s net cash of approxim ately $2 3 . 9 million at the end of the second quarter of 2019 .

The consummation of the Merger is also subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, if applicable) of various customary conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders (the Company Stockholder Approval), (ii) review and clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, (iii) the absence of any law or governmental order making illegal or prohibiting the Merger, (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifications), (v) each party’s compliance with or performance of the covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement in all material respects and (vi) other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, certain executive officers, directors and stockholders of the Company (solely in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Company) holding approximately 31.0% of the outstanding Company Shares as of the date of the Merger Agreement have entered into support agreements with Parent to vote all of their Company Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger (the Support Agreements). The Support Agreements include covenants with respect to the voting of such Company Shares in favor of approving the Merger and against any competing acquisition proposals and place certain restrictions on the transfer of the Company Shares held by the respective signatories thereto.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including in connection with the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of a superior proposal as permitted under the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $2.3 million.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2019, and the Support Agreements, executed in substantially the form which was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded acquisition-related costs of $2.2 million in operating expenses within its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Management uses estimates and judgments in determining recognition of revenues, valuations of accounts receivable, inventories, intangible assets, warrants and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes and stock-based compensation, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments consist of demand deposits, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, corporate bonds and commercial paper maintained with high quality financial institutions. The Company's accounts receivable consists of non-interest bearing balances due from credit-worthy customers.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

 

Adoption of ASC 842

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842,  Leases (ASC 842), which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. As permitted by ASC 842, the Company elected the adoption date of January 1, 2019, which is the date of initial application. As a result, the

8


consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2019 was not restated, continues to be reported under ASC Topic 840,  Leases (ASC 840), which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and is not comparative. Under ASC 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease clas sification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense. The expense recognition for operating leases and finance leases under ASC 842 is substantially consistent with ASC 840. As a result, there is no significant difference in the Company’s results of operations presented in its condensed consolidated s tatement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for each period presented.

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 had a substantial impact on the Company’s balance sheet. The most significant impact was the recognition of the operating lease right-of-use assets and the liability for operating leases. The Company did not have any finance leases as December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019. Accordingly, upon adoption, leases that were classified as operating leases under ASC 840 were classified as operating leases under ASC 842, and the Company recorded an adjustment of $11.6 million to operating lease right-of-use assets and the related lease liability. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments, determined under ASC 840, discounted using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of January 1, 2019, using the original lease term as the tenor. As permitted under ASC 842, the Company elected several practical expedients that permit us to not reassess (1) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. The application of the practical expedients did not have a significant impact on the measurement of the operating lease liability.

 

The impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue from two principal sources: 1) program services and 2) licensing and royalty revenues, which consist of technology licensing and royalty fees. Product sales have been made historically, but are not a principal source of revenue.

Program revenue - The Company enters into development programs and other research and development service agreements with customers under which the Company conducts research and development activities with customers. The agreements specify minimum levels of research effort required to be performed by the Company. Payments received under the agreements are not refundable if the research effort is not successful. In some contracts, the Company retains rights to certain elements of technology developed in the course of its performance, which the customer has an option to license in the future under the terms defined in the agreement. The Company generates a significant portion of its program revenue from certain research and development service contracts delivered over a specific period of time. These contracts require reliable estimation of costs to perform obligations and the overall scope of each engagement. Revenue from contracts is recognized using the following five steps:

 

9


a) Identify the contract(s) with a customer

b) Identify the performance obligations in the contract

c) Determine the transaction price

d) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

e) Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

A contract contains a promise (or promises) to transfer goods or services to a customer. A performance obligation is a promise (or a group of promises) that is distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration a Company expects to be entitled from a customer in exchange for providing the goods or services.  

 

The unit of account for revenue recognition is a performance obligation (a good or service).  A contract may contain one or more performance obligations.  Performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct. A good or service is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and the good or service is distinct in the context of the contract. Otherwise performance obligations are combined with other promised goods or services until the Company identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct.

 

The transaction price is allocated to all the separate performance obligations in an arrangement. It reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services, which may include an estimate of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable of not being subject to significant reversals in the future based on the Company’s experience with similar arrangements. The transaction price also reflects the impact of the time value of money if there is a significant financing component present in an arrangement. The transaction price excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.

 

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies each performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to the customer. Goods or services can transfer at a point in time or over time depending on the nature of the arrangement.

 

A majority of the Company program services revenue is recognized as services are performed using percentage of completion method of contract accounting based on the output or input (i.e., units or labor hours) method, whichever is the most appropriate measure of progress towards completion of the contract.

 

Input method : The use of the input method requires the Company to make reasonably dependable estimates.  The Company uses the input method based on labor hours, where revenue is calculated based on the percentage of total hours incurred in relation to total estimated hours at completion of the contract.  The input method is reasonable when the hours best reflect the Company’s efforts toward satisfying the performance obligation over time.  As circumstances change over time, the Company updates its measure of progress to reflect any changes in the outcome of the performance obligation. Such changes to the Company’s measure of progress is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

 

Output method : The Company uses the output method based on results achieved and delivered to the customer, where revenue is calculated based on the deliverables transferred to the customers as a percentage of total deliverables to be transferred to the customer at completion of the contract.  The output method is reasonable when the deliverables best reflect the Company’s efforts toward satisfying the performance obligation over time.

 

Licensing and royalty revenue - The Company recognizes revenue for licenses to intellectual property when earned pursuant to the terms of the agreements. Time-based license revenue is recognized ratably over the license term. Licensing and royalty revenue that becomes triggered by specific customer actions, such as exercise of a license option or by sales volume, is based on estimated end-market sales of products that incorporate the Company’s intellectual property. Revenue on the sale of intellectual property is recognized in full when title transfers if there are no remaining deliverables related to the intellectual property purchase.

 

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the Company’s

10


contracts, amounts are billed at periodic intervals, such as on monthly basis. Generally, contract assets results fro m revenue recognition in advance of billings, and contract liabilities results from billing in advance of revenue recognition. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the end of each reporting period. The f ollowing table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods

11


beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The Company doesn’t expect material impact on its results o f operations or financial position due to adaption of the standard .

Overview

We are a trusted partner for the innovation of advanced materials using high throughput experimentation.  Advanced materials are critical to sustaining and advancing many industries, including semiconductor and semiconductor related industries.  Using traditional experimental techniques, it can take many years to discover new advanced materials and many more years to deploy them in the marketplace.  By leveraging our proprietary high productivity combinatorial (HPC) equipment platform, advanced characterization abilities and multi-disciplinary development team, we strive to enable our customers to more rapidly discover advanced materials and tailor them to suit their needs.

We were founded in 2004 and are headquartered in San Jose, California. Our total revenue decreased to $4.6 million and $11.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, from $9.8 million and $19.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, our net loss increased to $5.3 million compared to a net income of $0.5 million in the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our net loss increased to $7.6 million compared to net loss of $0.1 million in the same period last year. Since inception, we have incurred net losses leading to an accumulated deficit of $189.3 million as of June 30, 2019.

Strategy

We currently target large markets that rely on advanced materials for differentiation.  Within these broad markets, we target customers that have track records of technological innovation, have significant materials-based research and development (R&D), and are pursuing technical advancements that are critical to their success and strategy. Generally, our approach is most relevant to industries that rely heavily upon advanced thin film materials such as those achieved using physical vapor deposition (PVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing tools; however, our approach is also relevant to discovering and understanding advanced materials more broadly, including advanced bulk materials such as metal alloys.  Historically, we have partnered most extensively in the semiconductor industry and particularly in the area of semiconductor memory such as dynamic RAM (DRAM), new non-volatile memory (NVM) and phase-change memory technologies.  Going forward, we currently plan to continue growing our footprint within semiconductors, while expanding our engagement with semiconductor materials and equipment makers.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On May 6, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with EMD Group Holding II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (Parent) and EMD Performance Materials Semiconductor Services Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Intermolecular, Inc. (the Merger), with Intermolecular, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by our board of directors and the Executive Board of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding (i) any shares owned by us, Parent or Merger Sub or any of our direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, or the direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Parent or Merger Sub (which will be canceled) and (ii) any shares with respect to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised under Delaware law), will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $1.20 in cash, without interest thereon.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each option to purchase Company Shares (each a Company Option) that remains outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full, (ii) each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (iii) the holder of each such Company Option shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the per share exercise price of such Company Option.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each award of restricted stock units or performance stock units (each a Company RSU Award) that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full (with any applicable performance criteria being deemed achieved at the maximum possible level of achievement for such performance criteria), (ii) each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (iii) the holder of each such Company RSU Award shall be entitled to be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Merger Consideration.

The total Merger Consideration represents an equity value of approximately $62.3 million and an enterprise value of approximately $38.4 million, after accounting for the acceleration of equity awards and the Company’s net cash of approximately $23.9 million at the end of the second quarter of 2019.

The consummation of the Merger is also subject to the satisfaction (or waiver, if applicable) of various customary conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of our stockholders, (ii) review and clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, (iii) the absence of any law or governmental order making illegal or prohibiting the Merger, (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifications), (v) each party’s compliance with or performance of the covenants and agreements in the Merger Agreement in all material respects and (vi) other customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2019.

See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding the Merger.

Basis of Presentation

How We Generate Revenue

Our customer engagement process primarily generates revenue in two ways: program revenue; and licensing and royalty revenue.  Programs are our primary engagement model with customers and are structured to result in program fees, and in some cases licensing and/or royalty revenue arrangements.

 

 

Program revenue.   Program revenue may include service-based fees such as payments for research services, milestone payments, and subscription payments for dedicated and shared workflow tools used in the programs and reimbursed payments for consumables and outside services from third parties. Individual programs typically range from six months up to twelve months. We recognize program revenue in a manner consistent with activities performed. As we engage new customers and negotiate extensions for existing customer agreements that are nearing completion, we expect program revenue to continue to fluctuate.

 

Licensing and royalty revenue.   Licensing and royalty revenue consists of licensing fees and royalties for granting our customers rights to our proprietary technology and intellectual property (IP). This primarily includes licensing fees and royalties on products commercialized by our customers that incorporate technology developed through our programs. In addition, licensing and royalty revenue may include sale of intellectual property when title transfers if there are no remaining performance obligations related to the intellectual property transfer. We anticipate our licensing and royalty revenue to continue to represent a low percentage of overall revenue in the future as we transition to a purely program services model.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue is variable and depends on the product mix and type of revenue earned in each period relating to our customer programs.

 

Cost of program revenue.  Our cost of program revenue primarily consists of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, for our research and development scientists, engineers and development fab process operations employees. Additionally, our cost of revenue includes costs of wafers, targets, materials, program-related supplies, third-party professional fees and depreciation of equipment used in programs. We include inventory obsolescence and customer related asset impairments in cost of program revenue.

 

Cost of licensing and royalty revenue.  Our cost of licensing and royalty revenue primarily consisted of the amortization of acquired patents, which were acquired as part of our Symyx asset purchase in November 2011, and licensing obligations. The Symyx patents were fully amortized as of September 30, 2018.

Research and Development

Our R&D expenses consist of costs incurred for development and continuous improvement of our HPC platform, expansion of software capabilities and research and development that is not associated with customer programs. R&D costs include personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expenses, for our technical staff as well as consultant costs, parts and prototypes, wafers, chemicals, supply costs, facilities costs, utilities costs related to laboratories and offices occupied by technical staff, depreciation on equipment used by technical staff, long-lived R&D assets impairment, and outside services, such as machining and third-party R&D costs. We recognize R&D overhead costs that are not allocated to a customer program as expenses within R&D.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for our sales and marketing employees, facility costs and professional expenses. Professional expenses consist of external website, marketing communication consulting costs and market research.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, as well as professional services and facilities costs related to our executive, finance, legal, human resources, management information systems and information technology functions. Professional services consist of outside accounting, information technology, consulting and legal costs. We also incur significant accounting and legal costs related to compliance with rules and regulations enacted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company .

19


Interest income (expense), net

Interest income represents interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and investments. We expect interest income will vary each reporting period depending on our average investment balances during the period and market interest rates.

Other Income (expense), net

Other income primarily consists of income that we receive from subleasing a portion of our office space under an agreement entered into in December 2015.  The term of the lease is for three years and annual gross rent is approximately $0.3 million. The sublease commenced during the second quarter of 2016 and terminated during the first quarter of 2019. Other income (expense), net also includes foreign exchange gains and losses that have not been significant.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires our management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the applicable periods. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. Our management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

There have been no material changes in the matters for which we make critical accounting estimates in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to those disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K. For further information on our critical and other significant accounting policies, see our 2018 Form 10-K.

Revenue

Our revenue decreased by 53%, or $5.2 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, with a 70% decrease in licensing and royalty revenue and a 52% decrease in program revenue. The decrease in licensing and royalty revenue was primarily due to lower royalty-related end-market sales from a customer. The decrease in program revenue was primarily due to the scheduled completion of $8.1 million in of existing programs which was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in revenue from a new customer engagement.

Our revenue decreased by 42% of $ 8.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, with a 53% decrease in licensing and royalty revenue and a 42% decrease in program revenue. The decrease in licensing and royalty revenue was primarily due to lower royalty-related end-market sales from a customer. The decrease in program revenue was primarily due to the scheduled completion of $14.5 million in of existing programs which was partially offset by a $6.7 million increase in revenue from a new customer engagement

We expect our revenue to fluctuate from period to period based on demand for, and our resources to fulfill, our services, project completion schedules and end-market sales.

The following table presents revenue by geographic region, based on invoiced locations, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 in dollars (in thousands) and as a percentage of revenue for the periods presented:

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by 50%, or $1.4 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to $0.9 million decreases in labor and personnel-related expenses, $0.3 million decrease in depreciation and $0.2 million decrease in materials and other costs associated with the scheduled completion of existing programs.

Cost of revenue decreased by 48%, or $3.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to $1.6 million decreases in labor and personnel-related expenses, $0.8 million decrease in depreciation and $0.6 million decrease in materials and other costs associated with the scheduled completion of existing programs.

Gross Margin

Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the mix of program revenue and licensing and royalty revenue recognized during the period. We achieve a higher gross margin on licensing and royalty revenue as compared to program revenue.

Gross margin was 69% and 71% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 71% and 68% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Research and Development

R&D expenses increased by 4%, or $0.2 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.1 million increase in professional fees, $0.2 million increase in materials cost and $0.2 million increase in facilities cost, which were partially offset by $0.3 million reduction in depreciation expense.

R&D expenses increased by 3%, or $0.3 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million increase in labor and personnel-related expenses, $0.2 million increase in professional fees, $0.3 million increase in materials cost and $0.3 million increase in facilities cost, which were partially offset by $0.6 million reduction in depreciation expense.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 14%, or $0.1 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million increase in labor and personnel-related expenses, which was partially offset by $0.1 million reduction in professional fees.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 13%, or $0.2 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million increase in labor and personnel-related expenses and $0.1 million increase in materials cost, which were partially offset by $0.2 million reduction in professional fees.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by 100%, or $1.7 million, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million increase in professional fees related to the Merger.

General and administrative expenses increased by 45%, or $1.8 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.1 million increase in professional fees related to the Merger, which was partially offset by $0.3 million reduction in labor and personnel-related expense.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Our operating loss increased by $5.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to $3.8 million reduction in gross profit on account of lower revenues and $2.0 million increase in operating expenses.

Our operating loss increased by $7.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to $5.2 million reduction in gross profit on account of lower revenues and $2.3 million increase in operating expenses.

22


Interest Income (Expense), net

The increase in interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily related to higher interest rates.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted principally of sublease income that we received from subleasing a portion of our office space under an agreement entered into in December 2015. The sublease commenced during the second quarter of 2016 and terminated during the first quarter of 2019.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of income taxes on our U.S. and foreign entities and were not significant during these periods.  

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss increased by $5.8 million to $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a net income of $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to $3.8 million reduction in gross profit on account of lower revenues and $2.0 million increase in operating expenses.

Our net loss increased by $7.5 million to $7.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to $5.2 million reduction in gross profit on account of lower revenues and $2.3 million increase in operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, we had $23.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments and $21.2 million of net working capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred net losses of $7.6 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the same period last year. As of June 30, 2019, our accumulated deficit was $189.3 million.

We believe that we have the financial resources needed to meet business requirements for the next 12 months. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to meet business requirements are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, many of which are set forth in greater detail under the caption “Risk Factors,” but generally include without limitation our rate of revenue growth, our expansion of our sales and marketing activities and overhead expenses; the timing and extent of our spending to support our R&D efforts; our ability to expand customer programs in the semiconductor industry; whether we are successful in obtaining payments from customers; the financial stability of our customers; whether we can enter into additional contracts in our target industries; the progress and scope of collaborative R&D projects performed by us and our customers; the effect of any acquisitions of other businesses or technologies that we may make in the future; the filing, prosecution and enforcement of patent claims; how much we need to develop or enhance our solutions or HPC platform and any necessary responses to competitive pressures. To the extent that existing cash, cash equivalents, investments and cash from operations are insufficient to fund our operations, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. We may also seek to invest in or acquire complementary businesses, applications or technologies, any of which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. We maintain almost all of our cash and investments in the United States and therefore are not generally subject to restrictions or tax obligations as we access the cash.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to operating results.

23


Net cash of $ 6.0 million used in operating activities during the six months ended June 3 0 , 2019 was primarily attributable to $7.6 million in net loss , $ 1 . 6 million reduction in accrued liabilities, $0.5 million reduction in accounts payable and $0.8 million reduction in deferred revenue , which were offset by non-cash charges of $ 1 . 9 million of depreciation, amortization and accretion , a $0. 9 million of s tock compensation expense and $1.4 million r educti on in acco unts receivab les and $0.3 million decrease in materials inventory .

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the non-cash charges of $2.7 million for depreciation, amortization, and accretion, $0.5 million for stock-based compensation, and a $4.1 million reduction in accounts receivables, offset by our net loss of $0.1 million, $0.6 million reduction in deferred revenue, and $0.8 million reduction in accounts payable.

We expect that cash flows from operating activities will fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including our operating results, amounts of non-cash charges, the timing of our billings, collections and disbursements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our investing activities consist primarily of purchases and maturities of short-term investments, capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment and the sale of intangible assets. In the future, we expect to continue making certain capital expenditures to support our operations, and to incur costs to protect our investment in our developed technology and IP.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used by investing activities was $0.2 million as a result of $0.6 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment offset by $0.4 million received in the net redemption of our investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash used by investing activities was $7.8 million as a result of $7.3 million in net purchases of investments, and a $0.5 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

To date, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and proceeds received from our initial public offering.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $5,000, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which was from the proceeds of common stock option exercises.

Operating lease agreements represent our obligations to make payments under our non-cancelable lease agreement for our facility in San Jose, California and office equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we made regular lease payments of $1.3 million under our operating lease agreements. Purchase obligations consist of firm, non-cancelable agreements to purchase property and equipment and inventory items.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2019.

 

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as the principal executive and financial officers, respectively, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

We made no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer , does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of internal control will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of the controls must be considered relative to their costs. While our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of their effectiveness, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 6, 2019, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against us and each member of our board of directors, captioned Franchi v. Intermolecular, Inc. et al. , C.A. No. 1:19-cv-01054. On June 11, 2019, two additional complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of California, respectively, against us and each member of our board of directors, captioned Najafi v. Intermolecular, Inc. et al. , C.A. No. 1:19-cv-05438 and Stein v. Intermolecular, Inc. et al. , C.A. No. 5:19-cv-03307. On June 12, 2019, a second putative shareholder class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us and each member of our board, captioned Morgan v. Intermolecular, Inc. et al. , C.A. No. 1:19-cv-05489. On June 13, 2019, an additional complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against us and each member of our board, captioned Bedeian v. Intermolecular, Inc. et al. , C.A. No. 3:19-cv-03359.  Each of the complaints alleges, among other things, that we and each member of our board violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws and regulations by soliciting stockholder votes in connection with the Merger through a proxy statement that purportedly omits material information necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading. The complaints seek, among other things, to require us to disseminate a proxy statement that does not contain any untrue statements of material fact and that states all material facts required to make the statements contained therein not misleading, damages, and certain other equitable and injunctive relief.  On July 9, 2019, the court in the Najafi action ordered the case closed having been notified by plaintiff’s counsel that the action is now moot.  

25


We believe the complaints are wi thout merit, and we will vigorously defend against the complaints. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no assurance regarding the likelihood that our defense of the actions will be successful.

In addition to the foregoing, from time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including but not limited to legal proceedings and claims brought by employees or former employees relating to working conditions or other issue, which we do not believe individually or in the aggregate would be material to our business and results of operations.

 

 

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors set forth below and other information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider how the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. These risk factors and the risk factors set forth below are not the only risks facing our company. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The Risk factors listed below should be read in conjunction with the Risk Factor section in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to the Proposed Merger

On May 6, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with EMD Group Holding II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent) and EMD Performance Materials Semiconductor Services Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Intermolecular, Inc. (the Merger), with Intermolecular, Inc. surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by our board of directors. The description of the Merger Agreement in these Risk Factors does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2019.

We may fail to consummate the Merger, and uncertainties related to the consummation of the Merger may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and negatively impact the price of our common stock.

The Merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions beyond our control, including receiving stockholder approval, review and clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and other customary closing conditions. Failure to satisfy the conditions to the Merger could prevent or delay the completion of the Merger. Further, regulators may impose conditions, obligations or restrictions on the Merger that may have the effect of delaying or preventing its completion.

The efforts and costs to satisfy the closing conditions of the Merger, may place a significant burden on management and internal resources, and the Merger and related transactions, whether or not consummated, may result in a diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations. Any significant diversion of management’s attention away from ongoing business and difficulties encountered in the Merger process could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There also is no assurance that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will occur on the terms and timeline currently contemplated or at all.

If the proposed Merger is not completed or the Merger Agreement is terminated, the price of our common stock may decline, including to the extent that the current market price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated without further delays, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated and we determine to seek another business combination, we may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Merger.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, we may, under certain circumstances, be obligated to pay a termination fee to Parent. These costs could require us to use available cash that would have otherwise been available for other uses.

If the Merger is not completed, in certain circumstances, we could be required to pay a termination fee of $2.3 million to Parent. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, the termination fee we may be required to pay, if any, under the Merger Agreement may require us to use available cash that would have otherwise been available for general corporate purposes or other uses. For these and other reasons, termination of the Merger Agreement could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, which in turn would materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock.

26


We are subject to various uncertainties and restrictions on the conduct of our business while the Merger is pending, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Uncertainty about the pendency of the Merger and the effect of the Merger on employees, customers, vendors, communities and other third parties who deal with us may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel pending the consummation of the Merger, as such personnel may experience uncertainty about their future roles following the consummation of the Merger. Additionally, these uncertainties could cause customers, distributors, vendors and other third parties who deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us or fail to extend an existing relationship with us, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and market price of our common stock. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts us from taking certain actions without Parent’s consent while the Merger is pending. These restrictions may, among other matters, prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, buying or selling certain assets, making certain capital expenditures, refinancing or incurring additional indebtedness in an amount exceeding $500,000, entering into certain transactions, or making other changes to our business prior to consummation of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement. These restrictions and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We and our directors and officers may be subject to lawsuits relating to the Merger.

Litigation is very common in connection with the sale of public companies, regardless of whether the claims have any merit. One of the conditions to consummating the Merger is that no order preventing or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger shall have been issued by any court. Consequently, if any lawsuit challenging the Merger, including any of the pending complaints against us, is successful in obtaining an order preventing the consummation of the Merger, that order may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed. While we will evaluate and defend against any lawsuits, the time and costs of defending against litigation relating to the Merger, including the pending complaints, may adversely affect our business.

We will continue to incur substantial transaction-related costs in connection with the Merger.

We have incurred significant legal, advisory and financial services fees in connection with Merger. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs in connection with the satisfaction of the various conditions to closing of the Merger, including seeking approval from our stockholders and from applicable regulatory agencies. If there is any delay in the consummation of the Merger, these costs could increase significantly.
