Nano Dimension Reports 2020 Third Quarter Financial Results

 Conference call to be held today at 9:00 a.m. EST

Sunrise, Florida, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM), a leading Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME)/PE (Printed Electronics) provider, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. 

Nano Dimension reported revenues of $438,000 for the third quarter of 2020. The Company ended the quarter with a cash and deposits balance of $45,720,000 (including short and long-term unrestricted bank deposits), while net loss for the third quarter was $20,716,000 and negative adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $3,373,000.

“These are not disappointing results per se,” said Yael Sandler, Chief Financial Officer of Nano Dimension. “As we have projected starting April 2020, the reduced revenues in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic being prolonged and re-emerging crises, were in fact expected to be lower than we have achieved. Actually, in APAC, the revenues have seemed to already start a modest recovery in the fourth quarter of 2020. We believe that the United States is still in a process of downswing of capital expenditures under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and European prospective customers are sinking back toward a commercial stand still, under the effects of its second wave. As the market stagnation is prolonged, understandably hesitant and/or careful customers tend to delay investments in breakthrough, new prototyping and fabrication technologies of unique Hi-PEDs™ (High Performance Electronic Devices). While the phenomena are clear and present, they are probably temporary,” concluded Ms. Sandler.

Mr. Yoav Stern, Chief Executive Officer and President of Nano Dimension commented: “The expectation of our market growth has not changed, and we believe that this is a interim delay. We expect the mid-term slow-down effect to act like a “sling shot” once COVID-19 will start to phase-out.1 The pressure of the trade struggles with the East is already creating an interest for reshoring electronic manufacturing. Nano Dimension technology is ideally positioned as our 3D printing machines for Hi-PEDs™ are an environmentally friendly non-polluting fabrication and overnight prototyping methodology, fitting for setting up fabrication facilities in-house on the western continents.”

Mr. Stern concluded: “As per above, we are not judging, at this point, our success by quarterly revenues. That will come later. Nano Dimension operates along an expected fail-safe investment model, where upside may resemble Biotech investments, but, contrary to those, downside in case of failure at any stage is somewhat hedged and hence protected. We have sold 60 machines already, mostly to leading blue chip defense, academic and commercial organizations worldwide. It is reasonable to assume that in case a decision is made at the right time, a sale of our existing business at improving multiples, as per future stages, is a doable task. On the upside, an exponential growth post COVID-19 may lead us to an unprecedented leadership role. Our future “Stages” as defined at this point (subject to adjustment based on advancement in R&D) are: Stage I: Materials at Commercial-Specs, Stage II: Materials at Industrial-Specs, Stage III: Materials at Mil-Specs, Stage IV: Low Production Volume 3D-System, Stage V: Medium Production Volume 3D-System.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

  • Total revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $438,000, compared to $288,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $2,243,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The decrease is attributed to continuing delays in identified transactions of DragonFly systems, which the Company primarily attributes to the impact of COVID-19.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2,556,000, compared to $1,895,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $2,083,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in payroll and related expenses, as the Company is temporarily shifting resources from sales and marketing to product enhancements, as well as an increase in share-based payment expenses.
  • Sales and marketing (S&M) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $2,475,000, compared to $930,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $1,217,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses.
  • General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $14,805,000, compared to $908,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and $799,000 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses. In the third quarter of 2020, we recognized share-based payment expenses of approximately $13,617,000 with respect to warrants granted to our CEO and President and to one of our directors.    
  • Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $20,716,000, or $0.45 per share, compared to $8,265,000, or $0.27 per share, in the second quarter of 2020, and $4,308,000, or $1.21 per share, in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019 is mainly attributed to share-based payment expenses of approximately $15,852,000 that were recognized in the third quarter of 2020. 



Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Financial Results

  • Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,428,000, compared to $5,093,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease is attributed to less sales of DragonFly systems, which the Company primarily attributes to the impact of COVID-19.
  • R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $6,153,000, compared to $6,557,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in payroll and related expenses and materials expenses, partially offset by an increase in share-based payment expenses.        
  • S&M expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4,224,000, compared to $4,088,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses, partially offset by a decrease in marketing and advertising expenses.         
  • G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $16,748,000, compared to $2,389,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to an increase in share-based payment expenses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized share-based payment expenses of approximately $13,617,000 with respect to warrants granted to our CEO and President and to one of our directors.         
  • Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $31,055,000, or $1.11 per share, compared to $6,972,000, or $2.08 per share, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is mainly attributed to share-based payment expenses of approximately $16,797,000 that were recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 



Balance Sheet Highlights

 

  • Cash and cash equivalents, together with short and long-term bank deposits totaled $45,720,000 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $3,894,000 as of December 31, 2019. The increase compared to December 31, 2019, mainly reflects proceeds received from the sale of American Depositary Shares representing the Company’s ordinary shares, less cash used in operations, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 
  • Shareholders’ equity totaled $52,691,000 as of September 30, 2020, compared to $11,602,000 as of December 31, 2019.

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before interest expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA, as described above, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively) and EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to the items mentioned above.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before non-cash financial expense (income), income tax, depreciation and amortization, and share based payments. Non-cash financial expenses (income), net include exchange rate differences, finance expense (income) for revaluation of liability in respect of government grants, finance expense (income) for revaluation of liability in respect of warrants and rights to purchase, as well as changes in lease liability. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, should also be considered in evaluating the Company’s operations. Like EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting non-cash financial expenses (income), net), and the age and depreciation charges and amortization of fixed and intangible assets, respectively (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense, respectively), as well as from share-based payment expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it’s widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to non-cash items, such as expenses related to share based payments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

AABB – Asia Metals Inc. Signs Memorandum of Understanding To Proceed With Gold-Backed CryptoCurrency Coin Development Agreement

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Asia Broadband Inc. (AABB), through its wholly owned subsidiary Asia Metals Inc., announced today that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and has agreed to the terms of a development agreement with a digital assets and crypto wallet creator to produce a gold-backed cryptocurrency coin. AABB is continuing its discussions with the developer to plan the details of the design, branding, implementation and milestone events schedule for the gold-backed crypto coin under the agreed terms prior to initiating the development process. Viewed as a revenue diversification project to create liquidity and monetize gold production, the Company is excited to release further details of the gold-backed crypto coin project next week after the definitive development agreement is completed.

AABB is planning to market its branded gold-backed cryptocurrency coin extensively to large population and high growth markets worldwide including India and China. The economic fundamentals of India’s high demand and interest in physical gold and China’s expanding use of its national digital currency and digital wallets could naturally lend themselves to the future use of a AABB’s gold-backed cryptocurrency coin.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a telehealth company revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare to patients, is excited to announce that it has launched an Enterprise Health Solutions Division designed to create engagement and enable patients through personalized health and wellbeing solutions. Karen Adams, Chief Health Innovation Officer will lead the new division and assume the additional role of Global Head of Enterprise Health Solutions. Karen is a subject matter expert in enterprise health and wellness programs and brings over 20 years’ experience developing industry leading mental health and wellness programs for some of the largest corporations and insurers in Canada, including Morneau Shepell and Shepell.fgi.

Karen Adams, Global Head, Enterprise
Health
Solutions commented, “Employers are looking for agile,wellbeing initiatives that positively impact the employee experience.We have been able to acquire organizations who are leaders in mental and physical health. It is evident that employers are looking for programs that recognize the unique needs of each individual and that personalizes their healthcarejourney. Our philosophy is to provide access to better care by leveraging technology to ensure continuity of evidenced based care through a multidisciplinary team-based approach. CloudMD is at the forefront of taking leading valuebased care and ensuring that an individual is accessing reliable resources to improve their wellbeing whether they are at work, off work, recovering or returning to work. Our inclusive approach drives employee engagement and will enable employers and employees to thrive.”

In 2019, Health spending in Canada was approximately $264 billion, with 30% representing private-sector spending1. Furthermore, Canadians spend almost a billion dollars ($950 million) on counselling services each year2 and lose approximately $2.1 billion in wages due to long wait times for healthcare services3. Many do not receive the full scope of care they need and end up cycling through the acute care system. As organizations focus on issues relating to equality, diversity, inclusion, and mental health in managing employee health concerns it’s apparent that the way group benefits programs are administered needs to change. In the current system, employers are burdened with a siloed approach to managing health and wellbeing, and are using various stand-alone, single issue solutions to address their employees’ healthcare needs. CloudMD recognizes the market needs to integrate disconnected health and wellbeing benefits with technology enabled services to ensure increased access and continuity of care.

CloudMD will be offering clients a connected system of health solutions that recognizes the unique needs of each person. The program starts with a personal assessment (to determine each employee’s unique social, physical and mental health needs) and designs a personalized navigation care plan. All programs use progressive measurement and evidenced based care which results in better health outcomes. This transformational approach to employee health and wellbeing is enabled through the strategic acquisitions of leading healthcare solutions Re:Function, Snapclarity, HumanaCare, Medical Confidence, and iMD Health. Coupled with CloudMD’s virtual care, primary care and allied health network, the centralized platform creates an integrated solution to help employers address their workforce’s holistic health and wellness. CloudMD’s enterprise health solutions leverage both public and private funding which optimizes employer’s health and wellness spend.

Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO comments, “Our Enterprise Health SolutionsDivision aims to break down the barriers of traditional healthcare by providing one comprehensive platform to address all modalities of health and wellness and offer enterprise clients a one stop shop for their employee benefit plans. Our mission is to provide holistic, patient focused care, and through our team-based approach we are able to provide better access to care and a personalized plan that encompasses the patient’s entire healthcare journey.We are revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare and aim to partner with clients to deliver greater value and impact, while optimizing their investment in health and wellness.

Translate Bio is a clinical-stage mRNA therapeutics company developing a new class of potentially transformative medicines to treat diseases caused by protein or gene dysfunction, or to prevent infectious diseases by generating protective immunity. Translate Bio is primarily focused on applying its technology to treat pulmonary diseases caused by insufficient protein production or where the reduction of proteins can modify disease.

Revlon Announces Final Results and Expiration of Amended and Restated Exchange Offer and Concurrent Consent Solicitation

Revlon Announces Final Results and Expiration of Amended and Restated Exchange Offer and Concurrent Consent Solicitation

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) announced today the final results and expiration of its previously-announced exchange offer and consent solicitation (the “Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation”) by Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, its direct wholly-owned operating subsidiary (the “Company”) that was made pursuant to the amended and restated offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement (the “Offering Memorandum”), dated October 23, 2020. The Company had offered to exchange any and all its 5.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain indenture, dated February 8, 2013 (as amended, supplemented, or modified), by and among the Company, the guarantor parties thereto and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”), for (i) the cash consideration or (ii) the Mixed Consideration, in each case as described in the Amended and Restated Offering Memorandum.

As of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 (the “ Expiration Time”), approximately $236 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or approximately 68.8% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such series of Notes) had been validly tendered into the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and not withdrawn.

The Company has determined that all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation have been satisfied, and acceptance and settlement is expected to occur on Friday, November 13, 2020 (the “Settlement Date”), assuming that all conditions precedent continue to be satisfied as of that time. On the Settlement Date, the Company will enter into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture to adopt the Proposed Amendments (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) which would eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. As a result, the Company does not expect that any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding will be necessary.

Once the Settlement Date occurs, the Company expects to give irrevocable notice under the Indenture that it will optionally redeem, on December 14, 2020, the remaining approximately $106.8 million aggregate principal amount of Notes not tendered into the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation at a price equal to 100% of their aggregate principal amount, together with interest accrued on such Notes to, but excluding, the date of redemption, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. As a result of such notice and the irrevocable deposit of funds with the Indenture trustee sufficient to effect such redemption, the Notes and the Indenture will be considered discharged in full effective as of November 13, 2020.

Debra Perelman, Revlon’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are pleased by the favorable response to the Exchange Offer, and we look forward to closing it on Friday. This represents an important step towards strengthening our capital structure and better positions us to focus on our future growth. While we still have challenges to face – namely the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic – we believe that we have the right strategy in place and will continue to execute against it.”

 Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. ReportsFiscal First Quarter 2021 Financial and Operating Results

 Core business maintains strong momentum, with Comparable Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 8% and 30%, respectively

Company acquires full ownership in Verdeca JV, consolidating HB4® Soy economics and increasing go-to market flexibility

Concurrent acquisition of wheat intellectual property rights from Arcadia and recent regulatory approval of drought tolerant HB4 Wheat in Argentina significantly strengthen Bioceres’ ability to catalyze global wheat market

ROSARIO, Argentina–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (“Bioceres” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: BIOX), a fully-integrated provider of crop productivity solutions designed to enable the transition of agriculture towards carbon neutrality, announced today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Financial results are expressed in U.S. dollars and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. All comparisons in this announcement are year-over-year (“YoY”), unless noted otherwise.

KEY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

• Subsequent to quarter-end, Bioceres acquired from Arcadia Biosciences Inc. (“Arcadia”) earlier today the remaining ownership interest in Verdeca LLC (“Verdeca”), a joint venture launched in 2012 to develop second generation biotechnologies for soybean and to commercialize HB4 Soy globally. By assuming full ownership of Verdeca, the Company expects to accelerate the execution of its HB4 Soy strategy, in particular by expanding breeding and go-to market collaborations with partners in new and existing geographies. Complete ownership will also enable Bioceres to capture more of the underlying economic value of HB4 Soy on a per hectare basis. As part of the transaction, the Company will own Verdeca´s vetted soybean library of gene-edited materials for developing new quality and productivity traits, as well as exclusive rights to all Arcadia technologies applicable to this crop.

• Under the terms of the above-mentioned agreement, Bioceres has also been granted Latin American rights to Arcadia’s wheat traits and Good Wheat® brand. This platform of genome-edited materials includes wheat varieties with 65% less gluten, 10-times the dietary fiber, and oxidative stability (which extends the shelf life of whole flours and derived products), while being substantially equivalent in all other aspects to conventional wheat. Some of the rights acquired are subject to clearances by third parties.

• In consideration for the acquisition of Arcadia’s interest in Verdeca, the wheat rights discussed above, and other intellectual property assets, Bioceres is paying $20 million at closing, through a combination of $5 million in cash and $15 million in equity (1,875,000 Bioceres´ common shares priced at $8) that is subject to a six-month lock-up period. One-third of these shares are pledged in favor of Bioceres and will be released when the aforementioned third-party clearances to the licensed wheat rights have been granted. Post-closing, the Company will pay: i) $2 million subject to obtaining Chinese import clearance for HB4 Soy or achieving penetration of the HB4 Soy technology in a minimum number of hectares, and ii) payments equivalent to 6% of the net HB4 technology royalties realized by Verdeca, until a $10 million aggregate amount is met. The overall total consideration is $32 million, excluding $1 million in fees and transaction costs to be reimbursed to Arcadia post-closing and non-Verdeca related royalties.

• On October 8, 2020, Bioceres’ drought tolerant HB4 Wheat was commercially approved in Argentina, subject to import approval being granted in Brazil, Argentina’s main wheat trading partner. This approval is the first for HB4 Wheat anywhere in the world and marks an historical milestone in the biotechnology sphere for this crop.

FISCAL 1Q21 FINANCIAL & BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

• Total revenue increased 8% on a comparable basis to $42.2 million, with Adjusted EBITDA rising 30% to $10.5 million.

• Bioceres’ cash position rose more than five-fold through more efficient sources of capital versus the same period in fiscal year 2020, including $17 million raised through the August 2020 local public offering of Rizobacter bonds bearing zero percent interest.

• The Company’s Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 2.12x at quarter-end, compared to 2.15x in fiscal 1Q20.

• HB4 Wheat and HB4 Soy inventory ramp-up processes advance as discussed in Bioceres’ previous Earnings Report. A dry winter season hindered wheat production in Argentina, but was conducive to highlighting the full potential of HB4 drought tolerance as this crop’s harvest approaches in the southern hemisphere.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Commenting on the Company’s transaction with Arcadia,Mr.Federico Trucco, Chief Executive Officer of Bioceres, said, “My first relevant transaction as CEO of Bioceres back in 2011-12 was the agreement with Arcadia Biosciences for the constitution and financing of Verdeca LLC. At that time, Bioceres could barely pay the due diligence and legal costs associated to the transaction, HB4 was a technology promise, our ability to de-regulate a GMO event was disputable, and the overall investment required to transform this promise into a commercially approved product was estimated at over $100 million by industry experts. To be able to say that we have successfully overcome these initial difficulties and are today re-gaining full control not only on HB4 Soy but also on other very attractive earlier stage technologies and technology platforms within Verdeca’s portfolio, fills me with enormous pride. I would like to thank Arcadia for trusting us back in 2012 and for helping us advance Verdeca’s pipeline to its current state. We also take this opportunity to welcome Arcadia as a new shareholder of our company.”

Mr. Trucco added, “We are announcing this important transaction little over one month after Argentina’s regulatory clearance of HB4 Wheat, becoming the first company globally to have a commercially enabled path to market for a drought tolerance trait in this staple crop. Encouraged by this development, we are adding to our portfolio of wheat technologies Arcadia’s genome-edited varieties, especially designed to tackle major consumer health concerns. This expanded wheat portfolio will allow us to further leverage our investments in closed growing systems which, in addition to strong identity preservation and traceability capabilities, remain of paramount importance as we engage with growers and consumers for which our technologies are relevant.”

Mr. Enrique Lopez Lecube, Chief Financial Officer of Bioceres, said, “Our recent agreement with Arcadia together with the HB4 Wheat approval in Argentina, both significant achievements for Bioceres, were preceded by the growth momentum that we maintained going into the new fiscal year. Sales for the first fiscal quarter grew 8% year over year, while Adjusted EBITDA increased 30% despite a slow start to the growing season, due to limited rainfall. The resilience of our core business, along with our strong balance sheet and cash position, are a solid foundation for generating substantially higher levels of growth as we continue to make further headway with our HB4 strategy. By acquiring full ownership of Verdeca we are now in a position to capture significantly more of our core technology’s underlying economic value, ensuring that we maximize ROI as we further invest in ramping up our inventories and in accelerating our commercial efforts.”
