LifelocReports Third Quarter 2023 Results
WHEAT RIDGE, Colo., November 8, 2023 -- Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LCTC), a global leader in the development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing devices, has announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Third QuarterFinancial Highlights
Lifeloc posted quarterly net revenue of $2.696 million in the third quarter of 2023, resulting in a quarterly net profit of $110 thousand, or $0.04 per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.032 million and quarterly net loss of $(87) thousand, or $(0.04) per diluted share in the third quarter of 2022. Revenue for the quarter increased 33% versus the third quarter last year, as demand grows. Nine-month net revenues of $7.140 million and a net profit of $111 thousand, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net revenue of $6.373 million and a net loss of $(433) thousand, or $(0.18) per diluted share, for the same nine months of 2022. Total gross margin in the third quarter improved to 41.5% versus 37.8% for the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2023 gross margin was 43.4% versus 35.7% for the same period last year.
The gross margin improvement over last year resulted from a combination of price increases, lower depreciation, and increased efficiencies resulting from a lessening of supply constraints. The margin improvement along with the sales increase was more than sufficient to offset a 65% increase in research and development investment and still result in a profitable third quarter.
We believe our core alcohol detection product line-up is strong. The newer platforms LX9 and LT7 have features and performance that have driven market penetration by meeting previously unaddressable market needs, such as wider temperature ranges and fast customization that incorporates local languages. We expect that most L-series sales will be incremental to FC-series devices rather than displacing FC sales. The L-series devices have been certified to meet the requirements of most modern registration standards, such as SAI’s (Standards Australia International) latest AS 3547:2019 standards for Breath Alcohol Detectors. Our FC-series devices remain favored in many law enforcement and international organizations. Our Easycal® automated calibration station builds important protection around our brand with the only automated calibration available for portable breath alcohol testers and contributes to market share gains by the workplace Phoenix® 6.0 BT and EV 30 devices.
We believe our most important goal and best opportunity remains the convergence of the global need for rapid detection of drugs of abuse with Lifeloc’s proven capability to build easy-to-use portable testing equipment. We are focusing our research and development efforts on leveraging the SpinDx™ technology platform, sometimes referred to as "Lab on a Disk," to develop a series of devices and tests that can be used at roadside and in emergency rooms, forensic labs and workplace test sites to achieve a rapid and quantitative measure for a panel of drugs of abuse. The initial product release is projected to be a device with a disk that allows for detection of delta-9-THC (the major intoxicating component of the cannabis plant) from a test subject’s saliva, followed by a disk for a panel of drugs, which currently includes cocaine, amphetamines, and fentanyl. Testing has validated the SpinDx measurement technology against the definitive standard liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS) measurement utilizing human samples. The LCMS data are validating the SpinDx test results on real-world human saliva tests at a limit of detection of approximately 10 ng/ml. With our research and development work, we continue to improve our technology’s robustness, speed, and convenience of operation. The release of our SpinDx saliva testing system for beta testing utilizing the delta-9-THC disks is expected in early 2024 and is projected to result in commercialization in later 2024. We expect to accelerate development by combining our LX9 breathalyzer with the THC SpinDx detection unit, to produce our roadside marijuana breathalyzer system.
“In the third quarter supply chain constraints have been significantly relieved. As a result, our production backlog has been satisfied during the quarter. We are optimistic that supply will no longer be a significant constraint to our normal order flow,” commented Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO. “Product is again flowing normally, and so our full attention is pushing the SpinDx product platform across the finish line to commercialization. We anticipate that our research and development expenses will continue to rise in this final push.”
