Digimarc Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
BEAVERTON, Ore., April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Digimarc Corp. (NASDAQ: DMRC), the inventor of the Digimarc Discover® platform featuring the Digimarc Barcode for automatically identifying and interacting with virtually any media, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $5.6 million compared to $6.0 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower service and subscription revenue, partially offset by higher license revenue.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $8.9 million compared to $7.7 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The increase was due to higher investment in sales and marketing related to market development and delivery for Digimarc Discover and Digimarc Barcode.
Operating loss for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $5.5 million compared to an operating loss of $4.2 million in the same quarter a year-ago. The higher operating loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses in sales and marketing.
Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 totaled $5.4 million or $(0.64) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million or $(0.52) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015.
At quarter-end, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $35.9 million, compared to $39.2 million at December 31, 2015.
