Germany: Novaled AG, a world leader in OLED technology and materials, has reported about the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The company has achieved total revenues of EUR 11,173,784 (USD 14,806,900), which represents an increase of 37% compared to the year 2009. Revenues from sales of material to customers and from licensing Novaleds PIN OLED® technology increased by 202 % to EUR 6,121,836 (USD 8,112,350). This increase is mainly due to substantially increased sales of material for the production of one Novaled customer. Development revenues from customer projects increased by 5 % to EUR 1,903,133 (USD 2,521,940).

The EBITDA amounts to EUR 26,478 (USD 35,090), making 2010 the first EBITDA-positive year in the history of the company. Operating Expenses were EUR 9,617,360 (USD 12,744,440), an increase of 12% compared to 2009, mainly due to higher personnel costs stemming from new hirings in 2010. The Net Loss for 2010 is reduced to EUR 1,035,850 (USD 1,372,660), down from EUR 2,178,799 (USD 2,887,240).

The Cash Flow from Operating Activities was EUR -837,000 (USD -1,109,150), representing an improvement of EUR 1,866,000 (USD 2,472,730) compared to 2009.

“Novaled revenues, excluding payments from publicly funded projects, reached EUR 8 million (USD 10.6 million) in 2010 as a result of successfully introducing our materials into mass production”, Harry Boehme, Novaled CFO says. “In 2011, we will see a further development of the OLED display industry, including the mass production start of additional players. This will drive a further substantial increase in our revenues in 2011, and will also, together with the emerging OLED lighting business, sustain the continuous growth of our company during the next years”.
