Digimarc Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

July 26, 2016 4:05 PM UTC

BEAVERTON, Ore., July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), the inventor of the Digimarc Discover® platform featuring the Digimarc Barcode for automatically identifying and interacting with virtually any media, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $5.5 million compared to $5.8 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower service and subscription revenue.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $8.7 million compared to $7.4 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The increase was due to higher investment in sales, marketing, research, development, and engineering as the company addresses important opportunities in market development and delivery for Digimarc Discover and Digimarc Barcode.

Operating loss for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $5.3 million compared to an operating loss of $4.0 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The higher operating loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses. 

Net loss for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $5.3 million or $(0.62) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million or $(0.50) per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015.

At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $31.9 million, compared to $35.9 million at March 31, 2016.
