Lifeloc Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo.--()--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 first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

We posted quarterly net revenue of $2.018 million resulting in a quarterly net loss of $165 thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted share. These results compare to net revenue of $2.069 million for the first quart of 2019. and quarterly net income of $31 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2019. Revenue for the quarter declined 2% versus the first quarter last year.

This sales decline appears to be a direct result of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Sales in January were higher than the prior year but declined in February and March when many important markets began imposing travel bans and social lockdowns. The quarter resulted in a loss as a result of the reduced sales and ongoing expenses including the cost of product launches and investment in our workforce in the form of option grants to key employees.

Product Pipeline

Our vision is that Lifeloc becomes the world’s leading company in real-time alcohol and drug abuse detection and monitoring. We have been investing strongly in product development to achieve this vision, focusing on a few major product developments that we expect to have a significant impact on our performance. We believe we are now at the point where we will start to reap the benefit of these investments.

Some of our new products are entering the market now. Our new breath alcohol testers, the LX9 and LT7 have been released and are starting to find adoption both in the U.S. and internationally. These units are on the U.S. Department of Transportation Conforming Products List. With a highly flexible configuration, multiple language capability and a wide temperature use range these units are expected to facilitate future sales growth. Our automated calibration has been broadened with the Easycal® G2, which is compatible with our existing installed base of professional breathalyzers as well as the new platform units. The G2 model includes RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reading of calibration standard data, which further automates the calibration process.

Likewise, the R.A.D.A.R.® (Real-time Alcohol Detection and Reporting) model 200 has been released to manufacturing. This new model has updated communication, improved GPS accuracy and mechanical reliability and is currently in final testing. R.A.D.A.R. devices are alcohol monitoring units which can be used as a tool to supervise offenders as an alternative to incarceration. Onboard biometrics automatically verify the identity of the test subject. R.A.D.A.R. devices are a critical step in moving our business towards a recurring revenue model.

Our marijuana breathalyzer remains a key target for product development. The continued broader legalization of marijuana only increases the need for a rapid, quantitative roadside test to identify drivers under the influence of marijuana. The ability of our technology to detect delta-9-THC down to a concentration of 5 nanograms per milliliter and to collect a testable sample from a vapor stream has already been demonstrated in our laboratories. Detection of THC is accomplished through the SpinDx technology, licensed exclusively by Lifeloc Technologies for drugs of abuse from Sandia National Laboratory. More work is needed to convert this technology into a simple-to-operate device suitable for roadside testing.

“Our new products have been gaining traction and the availability of the R.A.D.A.R. model 200 will be very timely because of the greater need for more automated offender supervision,” reports CEO Dr. Wayne Willkomm. “At Lifeloc, like at most small Colorado companies, we have been strongly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are an essential business and, as such, have remained open throughout the COVID-19 outbreak to support public safety and the transportation industry. While our sales have suffered, our overhead has remained constant. In response to this downturn we have applied for and received funding from the Paycheck Protection Program. It is important to note that while Lifeloc is a publicly traded company, we are also significantly smaller with a smaller market capitalization than most publicly traded companies. In the face of our narrowing margins, we believe the PPP loan is necessary to help us continue to support our 36 full-time workers and keep good manufacturing jobs here in the U.S. Lifeloc is currently in the middle of two major product launches and is also investing substantially in developing a marijuana breathalyzer, which, if successful, will contribute powerfully to societal needs for safety. With the help of the PPP loan, we are grateful to be able to keep our full workforce employed and fully engaged in our mission during this difficult time.”
