“Our strong top-line growth in the third quarter, both year over year and sequentially, reflects the underlying strength, quality and reliability of our product offerings, combined with the quality and strength of our unique, diversified customer base,” said Shai Lustgarten, CEO of OMNIQ. “As we stated in our recent Letter to Shareholders in October, we are seeing traction in our Supply Chain Mobility and Smart City markets across multiple industries. Specifically, our “contactless” technologies apply to many organizations that are increasingly focused on productivity, health, and safety due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our third-quarter results reflect the successful efforts of our sales team and the increasing interest in our technology solutions, and thanks to our investments in R&D in the area of advanced AI technology, we started the fourth quarter with increasing demand for our AI-based solutions that we expect to improve our gross margin in the near future as we work to take the Company towards profitability.
“Despite the economic uncertainties resulting from the pandemic, we remain steadfast in cementing our position as a supplier of choice for Internet-of-Things-enabled supply chain solutions, as well as advanced AI-based machine vision solutions powered by deep neural-network algorithms for Fortune 500 companies, institutions, government agencies and municipalities around the world. We pride ourselves in the accuracy and efficiency of our object identification technologies, and helping our growing roster of customers with a broad range of applications, from supply chain logistics, to parking and traffic management, to border control, to campus safety, to law enforcement, and many more. We see tremendous opportunity in our fast-growing target markets and our team at OMNIQ is working relentlessly to deliver growth and to create value for our shareholders. We also believe that our plan to uplist to a senior stock exchange, if completed, will increase investor awareness and broaden our institutional and stakeholder base.”
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
OMNIQ reported revenue of $15.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 20.9% from $13.1 million in the third quarter of 2019. Sequentially, revenue increased by 25% from $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. The revenue increase reflects higher demand related to the COVID-19 pandemic from certain customers during the quarter as well as continued traction in our markets. The higher cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2020, which reflects an unfavorable change in the product mix with large lower-margin orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic to certain large customers accounting for a greater percentage of overall sales, resulted in a lower gross margin than the third quarter last year. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $5.8 million, compared with $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase was largely attributable to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation awarded to professional service providers.
Net loss for the quarter was $3.8 million, or a loss of $0.83 per basic share, compared with a loss of $1.4 million, or a loss of $0.38 per basic share, for the third quarter of last year. The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to lower gross margin due to product mix and – in spite of slightly lower salary and employee benefits – higher operating expenses mainly attributable to non-cash stock-based compensation paid for professional services during the quarter, compared with the same period in 2019.
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the third quarter of 2020 was a loss of $2.4 million, compared with a loss of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2020 was a loss of $0.9 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million in the third quarter last year.
First Nine Months 2020 Financial Results
OMNIQ reported revenues of $42.3 million for the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of 7.7% compared with the first nine months of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to stronger fulfillment and deliveries by the Company during the first nine months of 2019. The higher cost of goods, which reflects an unfavorable change in product mix with several large lower-margin orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic to certain large customers accounting for a greater percentage of overall sales, resulted in a decrease in gross margin to 19.9% from 25.6% in the first nine months of 2019. Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2020 were $14.8 million compared with $12.6 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating expense was largely related to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation granted to professional service providers as well as increased research and development spending.
Net loss for the first nine months of 2020 was $8.6 million, or a loss of $2.03 per basic share, compared with a loss of $2.6 million, or a loss of $0.64 per basic share, for the first nine months of 2019.
EBITDA for the first nine months of 2020 was a loss of $5.0 million, compared with EBITDA of $781 thousand for the first nine months of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2020 was a loss of $2.3 million, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million for the same period in 2019.
