Liquidmetal Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results

Liquidmetal® Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: LQMT), a leading authority on commercial applications of amorphous alloys, reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Management Commentary

“As we close out the 2nd quarter, we look forward to the second half of 2021 and beyond with our continued emphasis on expanding our sales and business development, while reducing costs, to get to profitability,” said Tony Chung, CEO. “And with the pandemic in mind, we will prepare and take advantage of the forthcoming opportunities with the resurgence of the global economy.”

Q2 2021 Financial Summary

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company generated $243 thousand in revenue through a combination of volume production deliveries, initial part deliveries for new application development initiatives, and royalty revenues under existing contracts.

Cost of goods sold was $154 thousand in Q2 2021 and $35 thousand in Q2 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue, with a higher amount related to volume production deliveries, resulting in higher gross margin percentages.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expense was $849 thousand in Q2 2021 and $870 thousand in Q2 2020. The decrease in expenses was attributable to overall lower costs for employee compensation due to continued headcount reductions associated with the 2019 Restructuring Plan.

Research and development expenses were $38 thousand and $27 thousand in Q2 2021 and Q2 2020, respectively. Expenses continue to remain low due to a significant decrease in internal development initiatives, in accordance with the 2019 Restructuring Plan.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $10.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, as well as $17.3 million in investments in debt securities. Those readily available sources of liquidity are accessible to advance the Company’s existing strategy, and/or the pursuit of an alternative strategy.
