MicroVision Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display and sensing technology, today announced third quarter 2019 results.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2019 was $1.2 million, compared to $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2018. MicroVision's net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $6.1 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.00 per share for the third quarter of 2018.
”We made considerable progress in the third quarter with OEMs across multiple segments in our product portfolio that could have a significant positive impact on our 2020 results,” said Perry Mulligan, MicroVision’s Chief Executive Officer. “Production unit shipments for our April 2017 contract customer began in the third quarter and continue to proceed smoothly, meeting our customer’s production schedule,” Mulligan noted. “Our activities related to our interactive display solutions resulted in a major step forward during the past few months as customer due diligence work has now led to negotiations for a component purchase agreement that we aim to complete this quarter for a targeted launch of our interactive display module in 2020,” Mulligan added.
