Digimarc Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), the inventor of the Digimarc Discover® platform featuring the Digimarc Barcode for automatically identifying and interacting with virtually any media, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Digimarc The Barcode of Everything(TM) (PRNewsFoto/Digimarc Corporation)

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $8.7 million compared to $5.6 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The increase in revenue was the result of higher license revenue driven by a $3.5 million license fee from an existing licensee. In exchange for the upfront license fee, Digimarc waived any future royalty obligations from this licensee in one of the licensed fields of use.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $11.0 million compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher investment in sales, marketing, and engineering as the company continues to address important opportunities in market development and delivery of Digimarc Discover and Digimarc Barcode.

Operating loss for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $4.4 million compared to an operating loss of $5.3 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The lower operating loss was due to higher license revenue offset by higher operating expenses. 

Net loss for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $4.2 million or $(0.39) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million or $(0.55) per diluted share in the third quarter of 2016.

At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $60.9 million, compared to $67.8 million at June 30, 2017.
