THE CEO’S COMMENTS
“Our overall sales and results for the second quarter of 2022 were below expectations and were impacted by the fact that customers in several of our key markets, particularly Asia, are still being affected by lock-downs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of our customers are also having to navigate supply chain constraints due to a shortage of semiconductor components and other issues they are faced with in the current economic climate, slowing their product sales, and in some cases their development and launches of new products, which affects our business negatively,” said Dr. Urban Forssell, Neonode's CEO.
“Our products business continues to develop and we are seeing a growing interest in our Touch Sensor Modules (“TSM”) from elevator customers and interactive kiosk manufacturers in the transportation, retail, hospitality, and medical segments. To date we have had the best traction in Japan and South Korea, but other markets such as China, Western Europe, and North America are also showing potential. Together with our distributors and value-added resellers we continue to work to expand the TSM business and increase our sales volumes,” continued Dr. Forssell.
“In our efforts to re-vitalize our licensing business we focus on automotive OEM and tier 1 customers, and we are encouraged by the interest we are seeing for our object detection, gesture sensing and driver and in-cabin monitoring solutions. Short- and medium-term the revenue potential is sales of non-recurring engineering services in application development projects linked to new vehicle platforms. These projects pave the way for increased license revenues in the medium- and long-term when vehicles based on the new platforms start being produced. We continue to execute on our strategy and remain optimistic about the potential to grow this business in the coming years,” concluded Dr. Forssell.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $1.3 million, a 26.3% decrease compared to the same period in 2021. For the 2022 period, license revenues were $1.0 million, a decrease of 29.8% compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily the result of component shortages within the printer and automotive markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn impacted our license revenues for the second quarter of 2022.
Revenues from product sales during the second quarter were $0.2 million, a decrease of 39.3% compared to the same period in 2021. In the first half of 2021 several early adopters of our technology developed and launched retrofit solutions, which affected our TSM sales positively during this period. However, our product sales for the second quarter of 2022 continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 driven lock-downs in Asia and we are also affected by the comparatively long development and launch periods, often 12 to 18 months, or longer, for customer new equipment solutions, which slow down our sales growth.
Gross margin related to products was 55.7% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 38.7% for the same period in 2021.
Our operating expenses decreased 13.7% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower staff expenses and depreciation and amortization.
Net loss attributable to Neonode for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.5 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.14 per share, for the same period in 2021. Cash used by operations was $2.9 million in the second quarter compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily the result of increased inventory to secure our future product deliveries.
Cash and accounts receivable totaled $13.5 million and working capital was $16.4 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $18.7 million and $19.1 million as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

Non - GAAP Financial Measures In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use adjusted gross margin to measure our financial performance. We define adjusted gross margin as gross margin excluding AirBar sales revenues and costs and adjusting for costs and lost revenues caused by a quality issue and one - time write - down of inventory. We believe adjusted gross margin is a meaningful measure because it reflects the performance of our TSM business, which is our current focus. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our use of adjusted gross margin, a non - GAAP financial measure, has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You should not consider adjusted gross margin in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition of non - GAAP adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. 2022 - 08 - 11 29 © Neonode 2001 - 2021 · www.neonode.com · Nasdaq (NEON) The following tables presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. kUSD Q1 - 20 Q2 - 20 Q3 - 20 Q4 - 20 Q1 - 21 Q2 - 21 Q3 - 21 Q4 - 21 Q1 - 22 Q2 - 22 Revenue Products 98 66 284 502 355 346 136 118 147 210 Cost of Sales Products - 36 - 72 - 198 - 496 - 270 - 212 - 98 - 342 - 51 - 93 Gross Profit Products 62 - 6 86 6 85 134 38 - 224 96 117 Lost revenues TSM quality issue - - - - - - 14 12 92 - - Cost of sales TSM quality issue - - - - - 4 27 - 61 - - Inventory write - down TSM quality issue - - - - - - - 154 - - Revenue AirBar 1 - 0 - 60 - 21 - 43 - - - - 13 - Cost of Sales AirBar - 23 27 86 123 39 - 4 - 7 149 - - Adjusted Gross Profit Products 40 21 112 109 81 120 70 110 83 117 Gross Margin Products 63,3% - 9,1% 30,3% 1,2% 23,9% 38,7% 27,9% - 189,8% 65,3% 55,7% Adjusted Gross Margin Products 40,4% 31,7% 50,1% 22,6% 25,9% 36,2% 47,3% 52,4% 61,9% 55,7%
