Results Ahead of Guidance
Fourth Quarter 2005 Results
Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2005 were $2.5 million, compared with $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2005.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $2.5 million, or a net loss of $0.13 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.9 million, or a net loss of $0.15 per share, reported in the third quarter of 2005.
Gross margins in the fourth quarter were 67 percent, compared with 66 percent in the third quarter.
Operating expenses, including restructuring charges, were $4.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2005. During Q4 the Company announced and executed a restructuring plan, incurring restructuring charges of $0.7 million. Reductions in personnel, primarily in administration, engineering and marketing, and the closing of a facility in Canada, together with the downsizing of its facility in India, accounted for these charges. The decrease in operating expenses resulted from lower payroll costs, as headcount was trimmed from 106 to 78 employees and a portion of accrued bonus expense was reversed as operating results were below planned thresholds.
At Dec. 31, 2005, LogicVision had $10.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, and no bank debt.
New orders received during the fourth quarter totaled $3.3 million. The company exited the fourth quarter with a backlog of $20.3 million, including $6.7 million of deferred revenues, compared with a backlog of $19.8 million, including $5.7 million of deferred revenues, at the end of the third quarter. Approximately $7.2 million of the total backlog is expected to become recognized as revenue during 2006.
Fiscal Year 2005 Results
For the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2005, LogicVision reported revenues of $10.9 million, an 8 percent increase from revenues of $10.1 million in 2004. The net loss for 2005 was $10.0 million, or a net loss of $0.53 per share, compared with the 2004 net loss of $8.4 million or a net loss of $0.51 per share. Gross margins in 2005 were 71 percent, compared with 68 percent in the prior year.
"We are pleased that we are on a growth path again. We had annual bookings of $13.5 million in 2005. This is a 37% increase over 2004 and positions us well for 2006," said James T. Healy, president and CEO of LogicVision.
"Last quarter we introduced ATPG Compression, an additional LV2005 capability, allowing our customers to use our embedded test with ATPG compression in a single flow. We expect this capability will extend the usage of LV2005 to less complex designs, thus expanding our market coverage. Last quarter we also had our first sale of our SiVision yield learning solution to one of our top embedded test customers," Healy said.
