Horten, 16 August 2019 - poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) today announced its results for the second quarter of 2019. poLight’s TLens technology is subject to attention from a wide range of industries representing multiple applications.
In the second quarter the company delivered a total of 6 515 TLens units and 12 650 PDA50 drivers to support testing by potential customers. These shipments reflect continued progress along the path to a potential design win. Combined with high market activity and interest for TLens products, these deliveries support increased confidence in commercialisation of poLight’s technology. An increasing number of businesses evaluate TLens for various use-cases and offer a more diversified future revenue base and reduced risk of poLight being exposed to one single market.
Second-quarter EBITDA was NOK -13.3 million, compared with EBITDA of NOK -14.9 million in the second quarter of 2018.
“We are very pleased to see continued inbound interest for our TLens technology, representing a widening range of applications for both mass-market consumer products and high-end industrial solutions. Going forward, we will continue to market more actively towards these segments as they represent an attractive diversification of our customer base along-side the position we are building in the smartphone segment. Design-win candidates are maturing and support increased confidence in commercialisation of our TLens technology,” said Øyvind Isaksen, the CEO of poLight.
On 15 August, poLight received a purchase order for 33,320 units of TLens Silver and 30,000 ASIC drivers related to a specific wearable project. The units will be used for Product Verification Test (PVT) and potential initial mass production (MP) related to a planned product release.
