LogicVision Reports Q2 2003 Financial Results
Orders Booked in Q2 Total $5.6 Million
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jul 21, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- LogicVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: LGVN), a leading provider of embedded test IP for integrated circuits and systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. All financial information contained in this release, except backlog data, was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Revenues for the second quarter were $1.4 million, compared with $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2003. The continued focus of the company's sales efforts with major customers has lengthened the sales cycle; therefore, more of its revenues are being recognized ratably, leading to the revenue decline in this quarter.
Gross margins for the second quarter of 2003 were 45 percent, down from 66 percent in the first quarter. This drop in gross margins reflected the less favorable mix of business between the higher margin license revenues and the more labor intensive service revenues.
Net loss for the second quarter was $4.0 million, or a loss of $0.26 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.0 million or a loss of $0.19 per share for the first quarter of 2003.
At June 30, 2003, LogicVision had $34.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities together with a $1.0 million balance outstanding under its line of credit, for a combined net balance of $33.1 million, or $2.15 cash per share. This compares with a combined net balance of $35.5 million in the prior quarter.
Orders booked during the quarter totaled $5.6 million. LogicVision exited the second quarter with a backlog of $11.6 million, including $3.3 million of deferred revenues. This is the highest level of backlog for the company since September 2001. The largest of these newer orders will first be reflected as an increase in deferred revenues beginning in Q3, with the related revenue recognition starting in the first quarter of 2004.
"One year ago we outlined our key account strategy and total solution approach, and we are very pleased to note that this strategy has started to realize its potential," said Dr. Vinod Agarwal, president and CEO of LogicVision. "A significant improvement in the size of our engagement with a single customer resulted in bookings in the second quarter that were the second highest in the history of the company. We expect similar arrangements with other customers in the future will materialize as our strategy comes to full fruition."
