Sigma Labs Announces Full Year 2018 Financial Results

SANTA FE, N.M., April 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D® brand, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Highlights for 2018 and 2019 Developments

“2018 was a momentous and, we believe, decisive year for our company. We completed a 17-month transition from an R&D company fielding an R&D tool into a Technology Commercialization company that introduced a commercial-industrial version of our PrintRite3D in November 2018. Sigma then commenced rolling out this technology through a Rapid Test and Evaluation Program directed at companies that manufacture or buy metal 3D manufactured parts and demand quality assurance solutions to improve yields and product risks that are below their companies’ high standards,” said John Rice, CEO of Sigma Labs. “The release to market of our TED and TEP tools was a seminal moment for us as it means that now we can give our customers the ability to identify inherent ‘built-in’ inconsistencies in 3D metal manufacturing equipment performance, allowing them to immediately address these inconsistencies, and we can discern the signatures of precursors of quality anomalies in real time before most of these first emerging problems spoil part quality. In 2018, we announced our successful proof of concept of closed loop control. Our Ted and TEP tools are essential for discerning and characterizing the information required by a closed loop control system. We are pleased with our progress and our pathway here.”

“In 2018, we also entered into and expanded our customer footprint in new industry verticals, including the Oil and Gas industry, as we implemented our increasingly successful Rapid Test and Evaluation Program approach to market growth. We also were awarded a contract for hardware, software and engineering services by a federally funded organization involved in the space industry. In order to expand our international sales opportunities, we hired a Business Development Manager who headquarters in Munich, Germany, an Applications Engineer who headquarters in Kingston upon Hull, England and a Business Development Manager for the Americas. While U.S. manufacturing employment has declined over the past 25 years, the future outlook for technologies like 3D metal manufacturing appears to be very bright. Taken alone, the U.S. manufacturing sector would be the ninth-largest economy in the world, according to the National Association of Manufacturers, in a new report issued by IndustryWeek Custom Research and Kronos Incorporated. To achieve their growth targets, manufacturers are investing in areas that will improve productivity and speed responsiveness and Sigma Labs now has a suite of products and services that can meet important unfilled niches of these needs,” Mr. Rice concluded.

2018 Full Year Financial Results

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized revenue of $388,574 as compared to $641,049 recognized in 2017, a $252,475 reduction resulting from the shift from an emphasis on government and private industry funded research and development sales to our Rapid Test and Evaluation Program (“RTEP”).

Cost of sales for 2018 were $270,107 as compared to $272,372 in 2017, a decrease of $2,265.  This results from a combination of higher optics and software systems costs of our PrintRite3D® 4.0 Product Suite and the additional travel costs associated with the onsite collaboration required with RTEP. 

Sigma’s operating expenses for that twelve months ended December 31, 2018, were $5,687,271 as compared to $4,267,654 for the twelve months of fiscal 2017, a $1,419,617 increase. This increase resulted primarily from a combination of the requisite increase in salary and related costs of a 33% increase in employee count, the accrual of severance costs under executive employment agreement, increased internal R&D costs, higher travel cost for both business development outreach and onsite collaboration activities of RTEP and a more robust stock-based compensation program for both directors and employees in 2018.

The combination of lower sales revenue, higher cost of product and increased operations costs, discussed above, resulted in an operating loss of $5,568,804 in 2018 compared to a loss of $4,051,990 in 2017.

In 2018, our net other income and expense was a net expense of $5,359 compared to net expense of $525,526 in 2017.  The 2017 expense was largely due to the non-cash adjustments required for the revaluation of derivatives and amortization of debt discounts related to debt and equity financing activities in that year.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $1,279,782 in cash and had a working capital surplus of $1,747,836, as compared with $1,515,674 in cash and a working capital surplus of $2,656,695 as of December 31, 2017.
