Nanophase Technologies Achieves Targeted Third Quarter 2000 Results

PR Newswire
Wednesday October 25 3:00pm

Achieves Positive Gross Margin on Schedule

ROMEOVILLE, Ill., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Nanophase Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NANX), a leader in nanomaterials and nanoengineered products, today announced that it had reached its third quarter revenue growth target toward the company`s 2000 goal of tripling revenue from 1999. The company also achieved a major milestone along its stated path toward profitability by reaching a positive gross margin for the third quarter of 2000.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, total revenue was approximately $1,355,000 compared to total revenue of approximately $365,000 for the same period of 1999, representing 271% year-to-year quarterly revenue growth. Third quarter 2000 product revenue was approximately $1.25 million, or 92.4% of total quarterly revenue, and other revenue was approximately $103,000. Compared to second quarter 2000, third quarter revenue rose 22.6%, with a 25.1% product revenue increase.

The company reported a net loss for the third quarter 2000 of approximately $715,000, or $0.05 per share (fully-diluted), compared with a net loss in the third quarter of 1999 of approximately $1.3 million, or $0.10 per share (fully-diluted). The company`s per share loss for third quarter 2000 is based on approximately 13.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000, the company achieved total revenue of approximately $3.1 million compared to total revenue of approximately $1.0 million for the same period in 1999, representing a year-to-year revenue increase of 202%.

"We continue to be encouraged by the first nine months` progress toward our 2000 goal of tripling revenue from 1999," stated Joseph Cross, Nanophase`s president and CEO. "We are especially pleased with reaching a positive gross margin which is a combination of increased revenues and our aggressive efforts to reduce manufacturing and supply chain costs while balancing product mix. It also represents fulfilling a commitment to shareholders that the Nanophase team takes very seriously.

"Across the entire business, third quarter results were highly positive with continuing improvements in manufacturing cost, a successful initial phase relocation to our new 37,000 square foot facility, and further developments in both our new nanocrystalline technologies and specific application formulations for lead customers in target markets. Our growth and increased level of business development activity continues to demonstrate the value and increasing acceptance of our technology, as well as the strength of the entire Nanophase team that has been assembled over the past 12-18 months."

During the third quarter, the company:

Completed the initial phase of relocating personnel to its Romeoville facility and reconfiguring the Burr Ridge site into a nanopowders facility to ready the capacity and capability to support 2001 customer needs. Additional personnel will be relocated to Romeoville during the fourth quarter.
Continued improving manufacturing cost by approximately 14% compared to the second quarter 2000 and by 22.8% year-to-date toward its goal of reaching 30% on multiple products by year-end.
Negotiated a significant capital loan with BASF Corporation to fund dedicated capital equipment required for additional processing and volume increases through June 2004.
Continued to add to its intellectual property estate as the European Patent Office agreed to allow Nanophase`s European Patent Application entitled "Method and Apparatus For Making Nanostructured Materials". Patents based on this invention have now been issued in Germany, France and Great Britain, in addition to the previous patents issued for the company`s technology in the US, Australia, and Japan. Nanophase currently owns or licenses 26 patents covering the company`s methods, systems and nanocrystalline materials. The company has additional patent applications and trademarks pending.
Cross noted that the company continues to remain focused on developing new Nano processes and applications to increase the penetration of existing and developing markets, tripling revenue from 1999 during 2000, aggressively reducing manufacturing cost, and positioning business for 2001 and beyond.

"Because most of our customers view the nanotechnology value to their products or processes as a proprietary, competitive advantage and will not readily allow Nanophase to comment on particular applications, it is difficult to communicate nanotechnology applications. However, we continue to make significant progress in developing vertical and horizontal markets and specific nanoapplications," explained Cross. "Much like our announced success in thermal spray materials based on nanocrystalline technology for Naval applications that is now being explored for multiple commercial applications, we are having success advancing nanocrystalline solutions in several markets.

"Our major tactical focus for the fourth quarter of 2000 and into the first quarter of 2001 will be to complete the reconfiguration of the Burr Ridge site, begin pilot manufacturing on one of our new nanocrystalline production processes (Audrey), continue development of the second nanocrystalline materials process (Mira), and position new business for 2001. We also expect to complete the remaining phase of the planned manufacturing cost reductions for 2000 by early November to achieve the 30% reduction goal and launch a new 2001 initiative for another 30% manufacturing cost reduction on major products, which we expect to have complete by mid-2001.

"Considering the year and the final quarter of 2000, we remain quite comfortable with our annual revenue goal of $4.2 million. Leading into the final quarter, third quarter sales were well above our original projection of a 10% increase to second quarter, finishing at 22.6% growth due to an unexpected increase in demand for sunscreen products to fill a customer`s sales and distribution pipeline. We were able to manage this demand and increase output with manufacturing overtime, and some increased cost, to meet accelerated schedules and still obtain a positive gross margin."

"As a direct result, during the fourth quarter, the company will be focusing on rebuilding inventories to contractual levels sufficient to meet customer forecast demand entering 2001. Since we had over twice the anticipated sequential quarterly growth expected during the third quarter, we anticipate that fourth quarter revenue will be approximately equal to third quarter.

"Viewing 2001, we expect to increase revenue in-line with our stated strategy of multiple revenue year-to-year growth toward the goals previously released. We have several business development opportunities to finalize during the fourth quarter of 2000, and through the first quarter of 2001, that we anticipate will positively impact total revenue for 2001. We expect to be in a position to provide further guidance on a 2001 revenue forecast by January 2001."

So ein UNSINN!!
Nachbörslich ist gaaar nix passiert.
Kurs 13.5$ nach wie vor.
Oder hat jemand nachbörsliche Kurse??
Der Fall von 15$ auf 13.5$ war rein charttechnisch bzw durch die schwache Nasdaq bedingt.
Die Zahlen sind doch super oder?
Ich würde jetzt NICHT aussteigen! Schau doch mal auf den Chart. der sagt halten bis mindestens 20€!!!
C $ C

[Captain Cash]

0.07 Cent waren geschätzt und sie haben 0.05 Cent geschafft.
Bombenzahlen!
In den nächsten Tagen wird Nanophase weiterlaufen.. heute nur Lufholen!
Muss so sein!
C $ C

[cabinda]

@captain cash,

so ist es. die zahlen sind sehr gut, und nachbörslich ist in der tat nichts passiert, der kurs steht bei $13,5 (nachbörsliche kurse z.b. bei www.island.com, mit aktuellem ask/bid). ich bin kein zahlenexperte, aber immer sehr gründlich und habe alles noch einmal gecheckt. ausserdem bin ich hier nur eine kleine position eingegangen und werde morgen in gleicher menge nachkaufen.

gründe:

1. charttechnisch sehe ich es genauso wie du, die erholung war fällig nach 30% in wenigen tagen. da haben einige vor den zahlen kalte füsse bekommen, nichts weiter. die 20e sehen wir bald. verschnaufpause dient dem nächsten anlauf.

2. nasdaq 5,9% runter reizt zu gewinnmitnahmen

3. affymetrix nach zahlen 30% im plus, und die bio`s (nanotech gehört ja nur im weitesten sinne dazu, aber vgl. affymetrix/nanogen, ähnlicher bereich) laufen immer dann am besten, wenn die anderen high-techs abgeben. noch jedenfalls.

4. phantasie besteht in der erwähnten nanotech-konferenz, da das thema dann noch einmal medienwirksam aufbereitet wird (3. november).

5. ist eben nachbörslich kein weiterer kursrutsch feststellbar.

wer partout verkaufen will, sollte ein paar für die rente stehenlassen...

so long

[Captain Cash]

Gut, aber nicht die Konferenz von Nanophase morgen vergessen!
Da könnte auch noch was abgehn!
C $ C

[cabinda]

stimmt, tatsächlich fast vergessen...

(guilford ist für mich übrigens auch ein kauf, was hältst du davon?)

[cabinda]

na also, zur zeit 8,33% plus in u.s.a.

[Captain Cash]

Schade die Nasdaq spielt mal wieder nicht mit.
Aber ich werde bei Nanophase loooooong gehen.
Charttechnisch ist alles in Ordnung.
ich rechne mit baldigem Aufschwung.
Wer noch nicht hat: jetzt kaufen!! auch kurzfristig viel Potential.

@ alle
hi leute,
mein englisch ist nicht so gut, könntet ihr nicht eine kleine zusammenfassung über die quartalszahlen auf deutsch bringen?
vielen dank jjzocker

[Captain Cash]

@jjzocker
werd dir gern helfen, hab aber keinen bock jetz die Zahlen zu übersetzen
Ich muss aber sagen das bei einem Unternehmen wie NANX nicht die aktuellen Zahlen wichtig sind, sonder die Zukunftsaussichten, die das Unternehmen ja auch bei jedem Quartal neu erläutert.
Ausserdem ist noch wichtig dass Geld in der Kriegskasse ist und da ist Nanophase dick drin.

SErs..
