STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, November 10, 2022 — Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ: NEON), today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

THE CEO’S COMMENTS
“Our net revenues were higher and our operating expenses were lower during the third quarter than in the corresponding period last year. We are pleased to see that our efforts to grow sales and control costs generated results. We continue our focused work to expand our business and remain optimistic about the potential of our products and technology platforms. This said, we are not satisfied with the results we have achieved so far. Our sales and growth continue to be affected by several factors, including long sales and product launch cycles in the segments where we are active. Our business is also affected by COVID-19 lockdowns and semi-conductor shortage issues that our customers must navigate. We continue to take measures to mitigate these issues,” 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 both elevator and interactive kiosk customers. One driver is the increased interest for holographic display applications we are seeing from different equipment manufacturers and end customers. We continue to work to expand the TSM business and increase our sales volumes in Japan, South Korea, and in other markets,” continued Dr. Forssell.
“In developing our licensing business we focus on automotive OEM and tier 1 customers mainly, 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 in this segment is from sales of non-recurring engineering services in application development projects linked to new vehicle platforms. Long-term these projects may lead to increased license revenues, typically through royalty payments per vehicle produced,” concluded Dr. Forssell.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $1.2 million, a 26.4% increase compared to the same period in 2021. For the 2022 period, license revenues were $1.0 million, an increase of 27.3% compared to the same period in 2021. We saw a recovery of license revenues from legacy customers in the printer and automotive markets compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased sales volumes from these customers.
Revenues from product sales during the third quarter were $0.2 million, an increase of 14.0% compared to the same period in 2021. We saw a slight recovery for the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2021, but our product sales continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19 driven lock-downs in Asia. 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 slows our sales growth.
Gross margin related to products was 48.4% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 27.9% for the same period in 2021. Our operating expenses decreased 21.8% for the third 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 September 30, 2022 was $0.8 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.15 per share, for the same period in 2021. Cash used by operations was $0.5 million in the third quarter compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased net loss.
Cash and accounts receivable totaled $12.3 million and working capital was $15.5 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $18.7 million and $19.1 million as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

Non - GAAP Financial Measures 2022 - 11 - 10 © Neonode 2001 - 2022 · www.neonode.com · Nasdaq (NEON) 29 In addition to presenting our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sta tes (“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 a djusted gross margin is a meaningful measure because it reflects the performance of our TSM business, which is our current focus. Non - GAAP fin ancial measures should not be considered as alternatives to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Our use of adjuste d g ross 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 ana lysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition of non - GAAP adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measu res of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. The following tables presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP fi nan cial measure. kUSD Q1-20 Q2-20 Q3-20 Q4-20 Q1-21 Q2-21 Q3-21 Q4-21 Q1-22 Q2-22 Q3-22 Revenue Products 98 66 284 502 355 346 136 118 147 210 155 Cost of Sales Products -36 -72 -198 -496 -270 -212 -98 -342 -51 -93 -80 Gross Profit Products 62 -6 86 6 85 134 38 -224 96 117 75 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 75 Gross Margin Products 63,3% -9,1% 30,3% 1,2% 23,9% 38,7% 27,9% -189,8% 65,3% 55,7% 48,4% Adjusted Gross Margin Products 40,4% 31,7% 50,1% 22,6% 25,9% 36,2% 47,3% 52,4% 61,9% 55,7% 48,4%
