Nanophase Announces Third Quarter Revenue
ROMEOVILLE, IL | Posted on October 19th, 2007Nanophase Technologies , a technology leader in nanomaterials and advanced nanoengineered products, announced the Company's eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, revenue rose to $2.6 million compared to $2.4 million in third quarter 2006, a 5% revenue increase year-over-year. Gross margin on sales for the third quarter 2007 was 21%, decreasing on a year-over-year basis due to unfavorable product mix. Nanophase reported a third quarter 2007 net loss of $0.96 million, or $0.05 per share (fully diluted), compared with a net loss for the third quarter of 2006 of $0.92 million, or $0.05 per share (fully diluted).
For the first nine months of 2007, total revenues rose to $9.6 million compared to $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $2.8 million, or 41% year-over-year. Gross margin for the first nine months of 2007 reached 29% of revenue versus 23% in the same period of 2006; in total dollars, gross margin increased 73% year-over-year. Nanophase reported a net loss for the nine months of 2007 of $2.4 million, or $0.12 per share (fully diluted), compared with a net loss for the same period of 2006 of $3.6 million, or $0.20 per share (fully diluted).
"Third quarter 2007 revenue was disappointing compared with our outlook entering the quarter due to an unexpected revenue reduction in architectural coatings," stated Joseph Cross, Nanophase's president and CEO. "Based on customer information, we believe that the architectural coatings order rate was markedly impacted by a reduction in new housing starts and reduced consumer spending in the do-it-yourself (DIY) market. Tracking available data, this view seems to coincide with recent public information from home builders, DIY retailers and some architectural coatings companies. Given the uncertainty in demand level for the DIY architectural products over the near term, we have taken a conservative approach and corresponding actions to reduce our operating costs accordingly."
Cross noted that the Company's continuous operational improvement efforts advanced during the third quarter. Nanophase successfully completed a third party audit and was recertified to ISO14001, the international environmental standard, and passed a new milestone in employee safety with over 800,000 hours worked without a lost time accident. "Over the last several years, we have continuously worked to improve reactor output in our PVS process and this last quarter hit yet another new achievement level. Since approximately 1999, we have increased PVS reactor output an aggregate of ~1900% while improving product consistency and quality under the Company's Lean Six Sigma process."
"Despite the near-term slowdown in current architectural coating products, we are optimistic about growth in our present markets and those where we have initiated penetration. Sunscreen and daily care continue to grow in 2007 over 2006 levels. The new focus on full spectrum UVA products, such as in the proposed FDA monograph and similar legislation in the EU, offer improved potential for adoption going forward. We are working on an increasing number of new opportunities in industrial and architectural coatings markets and remain positive for material long-term growth. We have also achieved substantial progress in manufacturing nanomaterials for CMP and other polishing markets this past quarter and believe that these improvements are encouraging indicators of future opportunity."
Nanophase has scheduled its quarterly conference call for October 18 at 4:00 PM CDT, 5:00 PM EDT, which will be hosted by Joseph Cross, president and CEO, and Jess Jankowski, CFO.
