Crown Electrokinetics Reports Fiscal 2022 First Quarter Financial Results
CORVALLIS, Ore., Aug. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Electrokinetics Corp. (NASDAQ: CRKN) ("Crown" or the "Company"), a smart glass technology company, today reported its financial results for the fiscal 2022 first quarter ended June 30, 2021.
"Our team remains steadfast in our strategy to bring Crown's first-generation product, the DynamicTintTM Smart Glass Insert to market to help reduce a building's energy costs and its carbon emissions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we launched the first field test for our inserts with a large commercial REIT. The initial data collected suggests that our inserts can reduce energy costs of office buildings by approximately 26%, which we believe is just the baseline. In addition, there is preliminary evidence that our inserts will save energy related to the HVAC heating as well as cooling," said Doug Croxall, Crown Chairman & CEO. "We are enthusiastic to continue our analysis launching an updated field test while working with prospective customers, using this preliminary data, to gain a deep understanding of the impact our technology can have on our customer's sustainability and cost-saving initiatives."
"Crown is well-positioned in our growth phase to penetrate the smart glass market with our inserts. We believe our differentiated product that is deployed as an after-market retrofit solution at an affordable price will appeal to a large customer base looking to improve energy savings and lower carbon emissions," concluded Mr. Croxall.
Corporate Updates During and Subsequent to the Fiscal First Quarter 2022
- Launched field test of the DynamicTint Smart Glass inserts at a large commercial REIT's headquarters. In completing its preliminary field test, the Company announced that the inserts can potentially reduce the HVAC-related energy costs of office buildings by approximately 26%
- Included in the Russel Microcap® Index on June 28, 2021. Membership in the index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes.
- Appointed Joel Krutz as new Chief Financial Officer, effective June 21, 2021.
Financial Results for Fiscal First Quarter 2022
Net Loss: Net loss was $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and $10.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The main driver was SG&A expenses of $5.0 million, of which non-cash stock-based compensation is $2.6 million.
Research and development (R&D) expense: R&D expenses were $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, a decreased compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This is primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expenses related to employee and officer grants last year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense: SG&A expenses were $5.0 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This differential was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expenses of $4.6 million partially offset by increases in compensation $0.7 million as well as consulting and professional fees $0.7 million.
Other Income (Expense): Other expenses were nominal for the quarter, compared to $1.2 million incurred for the same quarter last year. The decrease is primarily due to reductions in interest expense following the conversion of all convertible debt notes at the end of fiscal 2021.
Cash Position: As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $12.5 million and working capital was $11.9 million.
