Commenting on the quarterly results, Michael Murray, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The second quarter was highlighted by continued sales momentum of our products for defense applications, delivering year over year growth of 106% and five new customer development orders which provide significant multi-million dollar per year production revenue opportunities in the future. This progress has validated our strategy that we began last year to reset the course within Kopin to focus on defense products. Additionally, as we continue our output ramp on our thermal weapon sight contracts, our sustained focus on operational excellence resulted in enhanced margins for this critical product line and the company. “As we move into the second half of the year, we expect continued growth from new customers and projects, which during the second quarter included the development award for the U.S. Army’s Next Generation-Short Range Interceptor (NG-SRI) system, which is expected to replace the Stinger Missile. We were selected to design, develop, and produce the targeting eye piece for the program, won by Lockheed Martin. The program is expected to move into full rate production in 2027, which we estimate could provide Kopin with tens of millions in revenue, in peak annual production. “Kopin was also selected for several new Phase One development contracts including with the U.S. Army to research optical approaches for Visual Augmentation Systems to improve performance, and lessen cognitive dissonance and nausea. We also received a development contract with the U.S. Navy to research and produce a means to reduce the size and weight of the optics needed in advanced sensor systems. In addition to these research and development awards, we partnered with market leading firms like Wilcox Industries on several new dismounted soldier products and demonstrated our progress on our innovative AI enabled NeuralDisplay™ hardware and software architecture. “Looking ahead we expect to continue accelerating our growth with a strong order book of new and long-standing customers and expect to see the benefits of our efforts with new designs and opportunities. We are leveraging our increased emphasis on business development to expand into new international markets. We continue to believe Kopin is well positioned to deliver long-term growth for our shareholders,” concluded Murray. Second Quarter Financial Results Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024, were $12.3 million, compared to $10.5 million for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023, an 18% increase. Year-over-year product revenues increased 84%, with defense product revenues increasing by $5.4 million or 106% year over year, while industrial product revenues decreased by $0.3 million or 30% year over year. Second quarter 2024 funded research and development revenues declined by $2.7 million or 70% as certain defense development programs were successfully completed and are now moving into low-rate initial production. Cost of Product Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were $8.7 million, or 79% of net product revenues, compared with $5.7 million, or 95% of net product revenues for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in cost of product revenue as a percent of net product revenues for the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 was due to a decrease in expected rework costs, attributed in part to sustained improvements in labor hours/unit, improved work instructions, reduced scrap rates and lower customer acceptance reject rates. We estimate that the lower estimated rework cost improved gross margins by approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024. Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $1.8 million compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 41% from the prior year. Customer-funded R&D expense declined $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023, while internal R&D increased $0.2 million year over year. The decline in customer-funded R&D programs was due to decreased spending on specific U.S. defense programs and programs previously in development were successfully completed. Internal R&D expense increased due to an increase in process improvements and NeuralDisplay™ advancements. Selling, General and Administration (SG&A) expenses were $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase for the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in legal fees of $1.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in credit loss expense of $0.2 million. Included in SG&A was legal fees associated with the BlueRadios lawsuit of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The Net Loss for the second quarter of 2024 was ($5.9) million, or ($0.05) per share, compared with ($8.2) million, or ($0.07) per share, for the second quarter of 2023. All amounts above are estimates and readers should refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 29, 2024, for final disposition as well as important risk factors.

Q2 2024 product revenues increased 84% compared to the same period in 2023 Defense product revenues increased 106% partially offset by a 30% decrease in Industrial product revenues 5 new customers placed development orders fueling opportunities for multi-million dollar per year production revenues
Kopin Corporation (Nasdaq: KOPN), a leading provider of application-specific optical solutions and high-performance microdisplays for defense, enterprise, consumer, and medical products, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024. Commenting on the quarterly results, Michael Murray, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The second quarter was highlighted by continued sales momentum of our products for defense applications, delivering year over year growth of 106% and five new customer development orders which provide significant multi-million dollar per year production revenue opportunities in the future. This progress has validated our strategy that we began last year to reset the course within Kopin to focus on defense products. Additionally, as we continue our output ramp on our thermal weapon sight contracts, our sustained focus on operational excellence resulted in enhanced margins for this critical product line and the company. “As we move into the second half of the year, we expect continued growth from new customers and projects, which during the second quarter included the development award for the U.S. Army’s Next Generation-Short Range Interceptor (NG-SRI) system, which is expected to replace the Stinger Missile. We were selected to design, develop, and produce the targeting eye piece for the program, won by Lockheed Martin. The program is expected to move into full rate production in 2027, which we estimate could provide Kopin with tens of millions in revenue, in peak annual production. “Kopin was also selected for several new Phase One development contracts including with the U.S. Army to research optical approaches for Visual Augmentation Systems to improve performance, and lessen cognitive dissonance and nausea. We also received a development contract with the U.S. Navy to research and produce a means to reduce the size and weight of the optics needed in advanced sensor systems. In addition to these research and development awards, we partnered with market leading firms like Wilcox Industries on several new dismounted soldier products and demonstrated our progress on our innovative AI enabled NeuralDisplay™ hardware and software architecture. “Looking ahead we expect to continue accelerating our growth with a strong order book of new and long-standing customers and expect to see the benefits of our efforts with new designs and opportunities. We are leveraging our increased emphasis on business development to expand into new international markets. We continue to believe Kopin is well positioned to deliver long-term growth for our shareholders,” concluded Murray. Second Quarter Financial Results Total revenues for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024, were $12.3 million, compared to $10.5 million for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023, an 18% increase. Year-over-year product revenues increased 84%, with defense product revenues increasing by $5.4 million or 106% year over year, while industrial product revenues decreased by $0.3 million or 30% year over year. Second quarter 2024 funded research and development revenues declined by $2.7 million or 70% as certain defense development programs were successfully completed and are now moving into low-rate initial production. Cost of Product Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were $8.7 million, or 79% of net product revenues, compared with $5.7 million, or 95% of net product revenues for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in cost of product revenue as a percent of net product revenues for the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 was due to a decrease in expected rework costs, attributed in part to sustained improvements in labor hours/unit, improved work instructions, reduced scrap rates and lower customer acceptance reject rates. We estimate that the lower estimated rework cost improved gross margins by approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024. Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $1.8 million compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 41% from the prior year. Customer-funded R&D expense declined $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023, while internal R&D increased $0.2 million year over year. The decline in customer-funded R&D programs was due to decreased spending on specific U.S. defense programs and programs previously in development were successfully completed. Internal R&D expense increased due to an increase in process improvements and NeuralDisplay™ advancements. Selling, General and Administration (SG&A) expenses were $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase for the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the three months ended July 1, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in legal fees of $1.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in credit loss expense of $0.2 million. Included in SG&A was legal fees associated with the BlueRadios lawsuit of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The Net Loss for the second quarter of 2024 was ($5.9) million, or ($0.05) per share, compared with ($8.2) million, or ($0.07) per share, for the second quarter of 2023. All amounts above are estimates and readers should refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 29, 2024, for final disposition as well as important risk factors.
