Immersion Corporation Reports First Quarter 2006
Financial Results - Thursday May 4, 4:05 pm ET
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2006--
Immersion Corporation, (Nasdaq:IMMR - News), a leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, today announced its first quarter 2006 financial results. Revenues were $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to revenues of $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 5 percent. Net loss on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis for the first quarter of 2006 was $2.9 million, or $0.12 per share, an improvement of 7 percent compared to a net loss on a GAAP basis of $3.1 million, or $0.13 per share, for the first quarter of 2005. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included stock-based compensation expense of $723,000, equal to $0.03 loss per share. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 did not include any stock-based compensation expense. As of March 31, 2006, Immersion had cash and cash equivalents totaling $30.9 million as compared to $28.2 million as of December 31, 2005.
“Consistent with the video console industry, our gaming revenue continues to be weak, while our medical revenue grew 19 percent compared to the first quarter last year. We expect growth of medical revenue to continue, given our new product development and the increasing acceptance of medical simulators as an effective training tool," explained Immersion CEO Vic Viegas.
"New wireless operators such as Orange and T-Mobile are using our VibeTonz® technology for mobile phones, expanding our reach in the market," said Viegas. The first VibeTonz-enabled GSM mobile phone, the Samsung SGH-E770, launched in Europe in January and is now being sold in numerous countries directly through operators and by retail stores. A similar phone, the Samsung SGH-E778, is being sold in China and Taiwan.
Over twenty content providers have published more than thirty-five mobile games with VibeTonz effects
Regarding Immersion's patent infringement suit against Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. and Sony Computer Entertainment of America, Inc. (Sony), on March 8, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California denied in its entirety Sony's motion seeking relief from the final judgment under Rule 60B of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Sony's appeal of the District Court's judgment, which includes a $90.7 million award, an injunction (stayed pending appeal), and a compulsory license, was filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on June 16, 2005. Appeal briefing is expected to be complete by the end of May 2006. "We remain confident of our position in the appeal process," concluded Viegas.
