SAN JOSE, California, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Intermolecular, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMI), the trusted partner for advanced materials innovation, today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Q2 2018 Financial and Operational Highlights
Management Commentary
"Intermolecular achieved net income of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 along with our fourth consecutive period of positive adjusted EBITDA," said company president and CEO, Chris Kramer. "As a percentage of revenue, our gross margins and net income were the highest since our IPO. These achievements are the result of the strategic actions we have taken over the past year to increase customer engagements, reduce our cost structure, and profitably build our services business. Looking at our performance for the first half of the year, our program revenue grew by more than 40% and we generated $2.8 million in adjusted EBITDA."
Second Quarter of 2018 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $9.8 million, up 1% compared to $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, and up 21% compared to $8.1 million in the same period a year ago. Program revenue grew 1% sequentially and 45% over the same period a year ago to $9.4 million.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $6.7 million, down 6% compared to $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, and down 22% compared to $8.5 million in the same period a year ago.
Net income for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $0.5 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, an improvement from net loss of $(0.6) million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share in the prior quarter, and net loss of $(2.9) million, or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share in the same period a year ago.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $0.7 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(0.4) million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share in the prior quarter, and non-GAAP net loss of $(2.5) million, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $1.8 million, an improvement from $1.0 million in the prior quarter and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.0) million in the same period a year ago.
Cash and investments totaled $31.3 million at the end of second quarter of 2018, an increase of $4.0 million compared to $27.2 million at the end of first quarter of 2018. The company had no debt at quarter end.
2018 Financial Outlook
"We anticipate that our third quarter financial results will be impacted by the successful conclusion of certain programs as well as temporary delays in the execution of other program opportunities in our pipeline," said Kramer. "We would like to emphasize that our relationships with our major customers are excellent and the completion of an existing program was the result of a successful collaboration that bodes well for future business. We expect many of these opportunities to materialize in the fourth quarter, giving us confidence that our financial results for Q4 will be substantially better compared to the third quarter. Given these temporary delays, we are updating our revenue guidance for fiscal 2018 to be between $34 million and $36 million, highlighted by 15% year-over-year growth in our services business at the midpoint. As we look ahead to 2019, we remain confident in our ability to continue to grow and scale our business profitably."
The following statements are based on Intermolecular's current expectations for the third quarter ending September 30, 2018. The following statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under "Forward-Looking Statements" below. Intermolecular does not plan to update, nor does it undertake any obligation to update, this outlook in the future.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release and the earnings call referencing the press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as "would," "may," "expects," "believes," "plans," "intends," "projects" and other terms with similar meaning. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this document are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond Intermolecular's control, that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: our ability to productize our workflows with existing and future customers; expectations regarding our future revenue, cash flow and GAAP and non-GAAP net income or loss; financial condition; the ability of our new business model to generate profits and long-term shareholder returns; the extent to which technology developed in collaboration with our customers will continue to remain on the critical path and have significant value for such customers and us as well as the industry as a whole; and anticipated growth in our current markets through expansion of existing customer programs and the entry into other engagements with new customers. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, including but not limited to: our ability to execute on our strategy, prove our business model and remain technologically competitive in rapidly evolving industry conditions; commercial acceptance of our HPC platform and methodology as effective R&D tools; our ability to achieve and sustain profitability; the ability of our customers to achieve their announced product roadmaps in a timely manner; the extent to which we are able to successfully extend and expand relationships with existing customers; our ability to manage the growth of our business; the rapid technology changes and volatility of the customers and industries we serve; our potential need for future capital to finance our operations; and other risks described in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at www.sec.gov, particularly in the sections titled "Risk Factors." All forward-looking statements are based on management's current estimates, projections and assumptions, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial data presented on a GAAP basis, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not serve as an alternative to GAAP and may be calculated differently than non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other companies. These results should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. We believe that our non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations because the non-GAAP measures exclude charges that management considers to be outside of Intermolecular's core operating results. We believe that the non-GAAP measures of revenue, cost of net revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income, earnings per share and net (loss) income per share, viewed in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with additional perspective and a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures to review and assess financial performance, to determine executive officer incentive compensation and to plan and forecast performance in future periods.
