Neonode Reports Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 Financial Results

NEON

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ:NEON), the optical interactive sensing technology company, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.3 million compared to $2.6 million for the same quarter last year. Net loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $1.0 million or $0.02 per share compared to net loss of $1.3 million or $0.03 per share last year.

“To capitalize on our investments in our most valuable assets; the zForce technology, IP, production processes and our strong client relationships, we are now manufacturing and selling multichip sensor modules to our customers.

“Today we are very happy to announce the closing of a private placing in Neonode, by Swedish technology investors. This is a vote of confidence in our strategy to grow the business and substantially improves our financial position, allowing us to pursue our strategy”, concluded Mr. Eriksson.

  • Revenue from licensing was approximately $2 million or 84 percent of total revenues.

  • Revenue from NRE projects was approximately $0.15 million or 7 percent of total revenues.

  • Revenue from AirBar (B2C) was approximately $0.2 million or 9 percent of total revenues.
